free for all; the world invited— especially the boys who were 
with us m our infancy, in 1894. We have special rates with the 
hotels, and feel sure of a half rate over all railroads. We are 
determined to make this the greatest gathering of high class 
shooters that ever met in the United States, and looking to 
that end, we are determined to give personal attention to all 
visitors and see that they enjoy themselves. T. A. Divine,

' The Rome Tournament- 
Rome, N. Y., Feb. 15.— To-day, the opening day of the two 
days' target and live bird shoot, held at Rome, was a model one 
for target shooting, but few shooters were in attendance. We 
were met at the depot by a covered sleigh, and taken to the 
shooting grounds, which are among the best in the State; the 
club has a good house and a background that can hardly be 
beaten. The shoot was gotten up hy W. P. Ray land for the 
revival of the Rome Shooting Club, which has been in a trance 
since the State shoot was held there. W. H. Crutenden had 
charge of the traps. Among the out of town shooters were: 
Dan Lefever and Courtney. Geo. Mosher, W. H. Cruterden, 
Mayhew and J. Fulford. Sim Glover and Frank Lefever. Mr. 
Rayland did not let the boys wipe his eye, as he took first aver- 
age in the team shoot from such men as Glover, Courtney 
Fulford, Mayhew, etc., breaking 128 out of 135 shot at; May- 
hew took second average, with 127; and Glover, third, with 123. 
The best shooting was done by Rayland, Glover, Mayhew, 
Courtney and J. Fulford. Geo. Mosher was unfortunately 
taken sick and did not finish his score; this sickness accounts 
for his not shooting in his old form. Mr. Rayland had studied 
the comfort of the shooters and had a rousing fire in the club 
house: a good lunch was also provided.

• •' - SECOND DAY. 
Fortune again smiled on the second day of the Rome shoot; 
the weather could not be better. The new arrivals were: H. 
White, A. S. White, H. Ayling, E. D. Fulford, Richardson 
and Judson, of XJtica; Brainard and W. H. Wild, of Sherburn. 
The shooting was from one rotary grouni trap, under Ameri- 
can Association rules, handicaps "fixed by W. P. Rayland. The 
birds were bandied by J. Fulford and were a fine lot, all good 
birds, with a large percentage of screamers, '''he retriveing 
was done by Ebe, Mr. Rayland's black setter, who did his work 
well. A. S. White took first average, H. White, second, thus 
proving themselves competent to kill hard birds with the aver- 
age shooters. Too much cannot be said in praise of W. P. Ray- 
Onondago County Sportsmen. 
Syracuse, N. Y., Feb. 14.— The Onondaga county Sports- 
men's Club held its bi-weekly medal shoot at Maple Bay this 
afternoon. Only a few shooters braved the elements to go and 
battle for the medals, as there was a blinding snow-storm 
raging at 2 P- M., the time for the departure of the train. But 
those that did go found everything in first-class shape, two sets 
of traps and the electric pulls working in perfect order, keeping 
the targets in the air most of the time. It was a pretty race 
for the first-class medal between Courtney, Luther and Hollo- 
way; it was no one's race right up to the finish, when the 
colonel won by a single target. It was also a good race be- 
tween Morris and Dalley, of Baldwinsville, and Hunter, of 
Fulton, for the second class medal, Hunter eventually 
winning. The best shooting was done by Frank Lefever, who 
missed his first seven birds, but eventually tied Courtney's 
score. The medal shoot is at 50 targets, unknown angles:

Carver— Marshall Match. 
Hot Springs, Ark., Feb. 14.— The third match of the Carver- 
Marshall series was shot here to-day. This match was origin- 
ally scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 12, but owing to the inclem- 
ency of. the weather it was postponed until to-day. Although 
the day was quite an improvement over Tuesda}', is was by no 
means a suitable one for pigeon shooting. The ground was 
covered with snow and the cold, raw atmosphere, with no sun- 
shine to temper it, made it very unpleasant for contestant and 
spectators alike. Despite the disagreeable weather, a hundred 
people paid fifty cents each to see the contest, among them 
being a number of ladies. Those who braved the elements had 
the satisfaction of witnessing an interesting race. The match 
began promptly at 3 P. M. Carver having won the toss, sent 
Marshal to the score first, who killed a fast right qnarterer 
with the first barrel but used the second for safety. Carver 
killed his first bird, a driver from 2 trap, with one barrel. On 
the second round Marshall took the lead as he killed his bird in 
fine style, while Carver's crossed the boundary not much the 
worse from the two charges sent after it. Marshall did not 
maintain the lead long as he lost his sixth, a left qnarterer, dead 
out of bounds. He displayed very poor judgment on this bird; 
he hit it hard with his first barrel, and then immediately 
suapped the other barrel at it without any effect, the bird fall- 
ing dead out of bounds. Had Marshall been a trifle more care- 
ful he would have easily scored the bird. From the sixth to 
the twenty- third the match was a tie. Carver lost his twenty- 
fourth bird and Marshall again took the lead. At the end of 
the first string of 25 the score stood, Marshall 24, Carver 23. 
Each let then- 26th bird escape; Marshall's fell dead out of 
bounds by a few yards, and Carver's escaped with the loss of a 
few feathers. The score was again tied when Marshall let his 
29th, a right quarterer, that flew like a cork screw across the 
boundary unhurt Marshall did clean work up to the 43d bird, 
which fell dead just beyond where the deadline and boundary 
meets on the left. 
Carver in the meantime had gotten down to business and was 
using his first with deadly precision. He killed straight from 
the 26th to the 52d round. At the end of the 50th round the 
score stood, Carver, 47; Marshall, 46. Carver lost his 52d bird, 
dead out of bounds, and the score was once s more a tie. The 
Keithsburg man experienced another piece G f bad luck on his 
56th bird; this was a snow -white one, which was released from 
number 2 trap, an incomer that quartered a little to the left; 
it was hit hard with the first barrel, but only slightly with the 
second; it just managed to cross the deadline, where it was 
picked up by a spectator. Each shooter killed 24 out of the 
third string of 25, and the score at the eud of the 75th round 
stood, Carver, 71; Marshall, 70; Marshall did his best shooting 
from the 57th to the 79th round: by killing 35 straight at this 
stage of the race he succeeded once more in tieiug the score, the 
doctor having lost his 79th bird. The pace that Carver set M as 
too fast for Marshall, as his 80tn bird beat him out, regardless 
of the fact that each shot made the feathers fly. and Carver 
again led by one bird. Marshall killed twelve more straight 
and then lost his 93d bird; this seemed to unnerve him, as he 
lost three of the remaining seven, and only scored 20 out of the 
last 25. The doctor was shooting at the same steadv gait, and 
once more scored 24 out of 25. Thus the final score was. Car- 
ver, 95; Marshall, 90. The doctor lost one out of bounds, and 
Marshall five. 
The doctor shot a 7 1-2 pounds Cashmore ejector gun, 4 drams 
of American Wood powder, 1 1-4= ounCe of number 8 chilled 
shot, in U. M. C, Trap Shells. Marshall shot 7 3-4 pounds 
Smith ejector, 3 1-2 drains of E. C. powder, 1 1-4 ounce 7 
chilled, in TJ. M. C. Trap Shells. G. W, Hughes acted as 
referee; John J. Sumpter, scorer, and your correspondent as 
rap puller . The birds were a good lot, and a number of fine 
kills were made by both shooters. The match was for $100 a 
side, 100 live birds each man, 30 yards rise, 50 yards boundary,

Work Shot in <-ood Form. 
A novelty in the way of pigeon shooting matches was decided 
at the Larchmont Club's grounds on Friday, Feb. 15. The 
contestants were George Work and L. T. Duryea, both well- 
known pigeon shots. The conditions were 100 birds each, 0 
yards rise, 50 yards boundary. On the first 50 birds each man 
vised but one hand; the last half of the macth was shot in the 
usual manner, both hands being used. On the first 25 birds in 
the one handed match, Duryea led Work by three birds; then 
Duryea struck a bad streak and the score was tied on the 34th 
round; it remained a tie until the 49th round when Duryea 
missed; following this up with a miss of his 50th bird, he was 
two birds behind when the match was half over. In the second 
half, usiug both hands, Work killed 45 to Duryea's 44, Work's 
last two birds gettiug away from him. The 200 birds trapped 
were a good lot of strong flyers, a brisk wind materially aid- 
ing them in their flight. Scores: 
One Handed.

Feb. IS. — The outcome pf the match shot Feb. 15 was a second 
match, which came off this afternoon on the same grounds and 
under precisely the same conditions, save that there was no 
wind to helo the birds. Both men did some great work, as the 
birds were a good lob notwithstanding the lack of breeze to aid 
them. Duryea's uphill race on the last 35 birds of the match is 
specially remarkable; at the end of the 75th round Work led 
him by four birds, yet the 96th round found them separated by 
only one bird. Work then killed his next four, and Duryea 
doing the same, the score was unaltered, Work eventually 
winning by just a single kill I

Weir City, Kansas- 
Weir City, Kansas, Feb. 15.— I enclose scores made by a few 
members of the Business Men's Gun Club, at their regular 
medal shoots. The attendance was smaller than usual, and as 
some of the best marksmen in the club were absent, the scores 
ran low None of the boys were able to shoot their average, on 
aecount of the cold weather. Two gold medals were contested 
for. Oue is the regluar club medal, which is shot for under a 
handicap of birds allowed, The other is known as the "Presi-

after each shooter's name, denotes number of birds allowed.
