Meadville Gun Club. 
Meadville, Pa., March 27 — This part of Pennsylvania is

Brewer- Cockburn. 
When C. Coekburn's letter, the main'portions of which were 
given in Forest and Stream of March 30, reached this office, 
a copy was made and the same handed to Brewer. After read- 
ing it through Brewer made a proposition to shoot Cockburn 
two races, each race for $500 a side, Cockburn to deposit $500 
with Forest and Stream, Brewer, doing the same, in order to 
bind the matches. A letter to this effect was mailed to Cock- 
burn, but up to the present no answer has been received from 
the Toronto shooter. On Monday of this week. Brewer came 
to this office and said he was anxious to shoot a race with Cock- 
burn, and would therefore accept the latter's terms, his only 
stipulation being that the whole of Coekburn's $250 of stake 
money must be deposited in the hands of Mr. H. P. Good, of 
the Canadian Sporting News. If Cockburn will do this, 
Brewer states that he will go to Toronto and shoot the match 
on the terms mentioned in the above-mentioned letter. He 
added, however, that all the birds must be trapped from the 
same crate, each man or his representative trapping for the 
other man. A letter to this effect has been mailed to Cock- 
burn. It is hard to see how, if he wants a match with Brewer, 
Cockburn can fail to accept the above terms. 
Powder Hill Gun Club. 
San Antonio, Texas, March 28.— Owing to a misunderstand- 
ing as to date, but a small gathering was seen at the grounds of 
the above club, but some excellent shooting was seen at the 
hands of A. B. Critzer. In the opening match of 15 singles and 
10 pairs he killed out straight as follows: Dyer, 23; Ohnesorge, 
22: Shaw, 23; Critzer, 25. That's a pretty hot sort of a quar- 
tette. 
Second match, same: Critzer, 23 ; Shaw, 22 ; Dyer, 22 ; 
Ohnesorge, 23. Mr. Critzer then killed five pah-s straight, and 
was still shooting when I left the ground. TEXAS FIELD.

Riverton vs. New Utrecht. 
On Wednesday, March 27, ten members of the New Utrecht 
Gun Club, of Woodlawn, L. I., journeyed from New York to 
Riverton, Pa., with the ooject in view of shooting a match 
with a similiar number of the home team. The day was bright 
and clear, with a strong wind blowing from the West. The 
New Utrecht team was a strong one on paper, but it fell before 
the Rivertons, the latter beating them by four birds. The 
remarkable scores (remarkable for their lowness) made by both 
teams, is the best proof that could be given of the excellent 
quality of the birds provided for the shoot by the Riverton Gun 
Club. When such men as Capt. Money, Duryea, R. A. Welch, 
Dando, and C. Ferguson, Jr., can only kid 15 out of 20, the 
birds must be something out of the common. Junius Davis 
headed the Riverton total with 18, the highest score in the 
match. James Wolstencroft and C. E. Morris, for their re- 
spective sides, scored 17 each, while W. C. Browning, R. 
Deacon and Dick Pfister tallied 16 each. The failure of Tom 
Keller and M. F. Lindsley on their last six birds was one of the 
f eatures^of the match. Scores :

New Jersey Trap-Shooters' League. 
The second tournament for the season of 1895 of the New 
Jersey Trap Shooters' League was held at Springfield, N. J., 
on Wednesday, March 27, under the auspices of the Union Gun 
Club of that place. Notwithstanding the fact that the grounds 
are somewhat out of the way, perhaps rather more appar- 
ently than in reality, eight clubs were represented by teams 
of five men, that number of teams competing in the league 
shoot. The most conspicuous absentee was the Boiling Springy 
team; an unfortunate combination of circumstances prevented 
that club from getting together a team. 
E. D. Miller, secretary of the Union Club, and Dr. Jackson, 
its president, kept things going in a capital manner, aided very 
greatly by an able cashier. John S. Hoey, a member of the 
Riverside Gun Club, of Red Bank, N. J., besides shooting in 
several races, acted as referee, a position that Mr. Hoey fills 
at most of the important club live bird races in the vicinity of 
New Vork during the winter season. In addition to Mr. Hoey 
as referee, two judges were appointed to aid in settling doubt- 
ful breaks. Fred Quimby, of the Empire Target Company, 
whose targets have been adopted by the league, as the official 
targets of the league shoots, was one of the judges. A high 
wind was against good scores, while the trap boys every now 
and then threw the targets at very acute angles. The South 
Side Gun Club, of Newark, one of the oldest gun clubs in this 
part of the country (it is 15 years old), came out in first place, 
beating the home team by one target, and the Maplewood's by 
three targets. It is only fair to state that two of the regular 
Maplewood quintette, Warren Smith and O. L. Yeomans, 
president and secretary respectively of the Maplewood Gun 
Club, were missing from the team. The Riverside Gun Club, 
of Red Bank, N. J., entered a team in the club shoot and 
acquitted itself very creditably indeed, considering that this 
was its first shoot since entering the league. It's total was 101, 
only live less than that of the winners. Next in order came 
the Eudeavors, of Jersey City; Climax, of Plainfield; Eliza- 
beth, and Union Hill, The following are the scores made in 
the league shoot:
