New Jersey Trap-Shooters' League. 
Elizabeth. N. J,, May 2.— The fourth tournament of the '95 series 
of the New Jersey Trap-Shooters' League was held on the Elizabeth 
Gun Club's grounds to-day. The fine weal her, one of the warmest days 
so far this ypar, brought out the shooters in good force. Eight teams 
were entered in the League sboot, the Union Hill Club, of West Ho- 
boken, being the only absentee. No great scores were made in this 
event, the veteran, Asa Whitehead, of the South Side team, being the 
only one to go straight. "Billy" Drake, of the Maplewoods, and Enoch 
Miller, of the Unions, each broke 24. The scores made by the teams 
were unusually close, with the exception of that made by the River- 
side Club, which had a new team on this occasion. There was only a 
difference of 13 targets between first and sevemh places! The teams 
finished in the following order: South Side, of Newark; Maplewood; 
Elizabeth; Endeavor, of Jersey City, and Union, of Springfield, a tie 
for fourth place; Climax, of Plainneld; Boiling Springs, of Ruther- 
ford; Riverside, of Red Bank. Seven other events were also shot off, 
B "LeRoy" Woodward, of Campe'lo, Mass., making an extremely 
good average, and c asily carrying off premier honors. Empire targets 
and traps were used, this target having been adopted by the League 
as its standard target. The Elizabeth management as usual did its 
work well. The president of the club, Robert E. Cbetwood, acted as 
squad hustler and took entries for the events, while William Parker 
did the dividing up of the cash with his usual ability. The other mem- 
bers of the club lent a hand at trapping when necessary, pulled traps, 
etc while W. R. Hobart, the League's sec'y, and Drake, its manager, 
aided the home club very materially in running the shoot. The dinner 
provided by the club's caterer was of the usual high standard that, 
p-evails at all similar gatherings at Elizabeth; this department had no 
reason to complain or lack of patronage. Taken all in all, the League 
tournament at Elizabeth was one of the best that that organization 
has ever held. Scores were as follows, the League shoot being at 25 
targets per man, unknown angles: 
Southside.

Protecting the Amateur. 
The fact that the amateur trap-shooter must be protected, if the 
sport is to prosper, is now very generally recognized in all sections of 
this country. Fobest and Stream's "Fixtures" column during the 
past few months has shown that "strictly amateur" shoots are be- 
coming popular with gun clubs. It has been claimed over and over 
again that it was the regulars who made the shoot, and for a time I 
was unwilling to dispute that claim, although I had my doubts. But 
the success of purely amateur shoots, professionals barred, can be 
made just as certain as that of the "open to all" clas3. Added money 
and merchandise prizes will always attract sbooters of even moderate 
caliber, who will be willing to compete against expert amateurs, but 
who are scared if a few well-known professional experts put in an ap- 
pearance. "What would be the use of my putting in my money and 
shooting against 'hose men? What show would I stand?" is a very 
natural remark for any 75 per cent, man to make. I've heard it 
hundreds of times. It is quite true that they stand almost as poor a 
show against the expert »mateurs; still they put in their money and 
shoot along with the latter, going home a few dollars out of pocket, 
but happy all the same. Trap-shooters as a class are very even-tem- 
pered men ; kickers are very scarce in their ranks; and the spending 
of a few dollars is a small matter compared to the fun they've had. 
The question of handicaps is one that has vexed trap-shooting 
circles ever since a few shooters obtained a greater degree of excel- 
lence than their fellows. Efforts have been made several times to 
place amateurs and experts on an equality. I read a letter the other 
day written by Justus von Lengerke, dated as far back as '89, on this 
subject, the letter appearing in the colums of one of the sporting 
papers. At that time he favored placing the experts away back, giv- 
ing the amateurs many yards the advantage. Traps and targets have 
altered so materially since that time that no doubt he has com spond- 
ingly altered his ideas on the subject. One of the ideas which he ven- 
tilated in that letter was in favor of making the shooting conform 
more nearly to field shooting, suggesting unknown angles etc. It is 
with the handicap question, however, in regard to professional and 
amateur shooters, that I want to deal. 
The Interstate Association, an organization composed of manufac- 
turers and dealers in trap-shooters' supplies, has this year still further 
handicapped the professionals, many, if not the most, of whom are 
paid representatives of some of the Arms composing this association. 
In past years the novelty rule was the system that prevailed at the 
Interstate tournaments, shooters being divided into three classes — ex- 
perts, semi-experts and amateurs, the men composing these classes 
standing at the 18, 16 and 14yds. mark respectively. This gave the 
amateur 4yds. start over the professional, but as the professional had 
as a rule shot at fully ten times as many targets from the eight traps 
provided for by the novelty rule as the amateur, the handicap did not 
amount to much; the professional also, from constant practice, shoot- 
ing at least 2 or 3yds. quicker than his amateur competitor. The 
handicap, therefore, was not quite as much as it seemed. 
' This season the novelty rule has been done away with by the associ- 
ation. It is perhaps a pity, as it was the system most like field shoot- 
ing of any that have as yet been deviBed. There were eight traps 
to watch and a shooter had to keep his gun to a certain extent away 
from his cheek. The handicap now advocated by the Interstate is: 
professionals shoot all the time at five unknown traps— the expert 
system; amateurs all shoot at known traps, unknown angles, with a 
graduating handicap; that is, when an amateur wins any part of first 
monej , he shoots with the professionals in the next event he takes part 
in, dropping back again to unknown angles if he does not win first 
money when shooting at the five unknown traps. This, of course, is a 
very severe handicap on the professionals, and the game is one at which 
they will fiDd it well-nigh impossible to break even. It is not impos- 
sible; however, and I feel confident lhat if professionals were to have 
more practice at expert rules, the difference in the two classes, so far 
as the money goes, would not be so much in favor of the amateurs as 
it. is at present. In describing the situation at the Interstate tourna 
ments of this season, a well-known shooter says: "It is not such an 
impossibility now for the professional to get some of the amateur's 
money as. under the old system, it was for the amateur to get some of 
the professional's money." 
That's about how the matter stands at present. The Interstate 
Association is the leading trap shooting organization of the country. 
Its business is to boomtrap-shooling and to advertise the wares of its 
members. It has done a great deal in the past. toward creating an in- 
terest in trap-shooting in sections where the sport was but poorly 
supported. The result of the radical movement in favor of "protect- 
ing the amateur" will be watched with much interest . That it has 
made such a movement is proof that the association recognizes and 
appreciates the condition of affairs. 
The situation is a ticklish one. It seems unfair to handicap experts, 
simply because by a natural gift, or by constant practice, they have 
brought themselves to a greater pitch of excellence than their breth- 
ren, and. I, for one, do not advocate any such system. The idea of 
the Interstate seems the best at present, as it only handicaps the paid 
experts who risk practically nothing when attending shoots. The 
graduating handicap also spreads the money around and prevents an 
expert amateur from gobbling it all up. Tne coming tournaments of 
the Association at Wilmington, N. O, and at Lynchburg, Va., will 
show whether this system which was popular at Pittsburgh, Pa., will 
retain and add to its popularity. Those tournaments will practically 
decide whether the system will remain in operation at the Interstate 
tournaments this season, or whether the Association and its manager, 
Elmer Shaner, will have to go to work and devise some other means 
.of "protecting the amateur." Edward Basks. 
Wilmington Rod and Gun Club. 
Wilvuntton, Del., April 29.— The Wilmington Rod and Gun Club 
held its annual spring sweepstakes shoot at its grounds, near Union 
Park, to-day. On account of the rain,. the attendance was rather 
small. About thirty crack shots from Baltimore, Philadelphia and 
New York had signified their intention of being present, but were 
kept away by the rain. These men from outside the city were 
present: Gus Greiff, of New York; William Fieles, of Christiana, Pa.; 
John Evans and John Cleaver, of Camden, Del. ; Eachus and De Van, 
of West Chester; John Creeden and Abe Wi'liamson, cf Hockessin, 
and W. K. Park, of Philadelphia The dull^sky made the targets easy 
to see, but the wind was agairst the shooters. The winners in the 
different events were as follows:

Missoula Rod and Gun Club. 
Missoula, Mont , April 28.— The Missoula trap-shooters evinced a 
lively interest to-day in their attempts at destroying bluerocks. 
Though the day was dark and the scores made were far from good, 
the shooting was continuous from 2.30 till 6 P. M. First came practice 
shootine, tben the medal contest, and after that team shoots, in- 
dividual contests and more practice followed ai fast as the trappers 
could handle the targets In the medal shoot, Frank Woody, just 
promoted from B to A class, walked off with the gold medal, while A. 
M. Sterling will wear the silver medal tor the second week. Scores in 
the medal shoot were as follows:

Binghamton Gun Club. 
Binghamton, N. Y., May 2.— With the coming of warm weather, a 
wonderful activity has taken hold of the shooters of this place. No 
doubt the date of our annual tournament being so near at hand has 
considerable to do with it, as a number of the boys are intending to 
shoot right through the programme. Right here let me say that from 
present indications our tournament is to be a hummer, and what we 
at first thought would be a great drawback will be to our advantage. 
That was the question of dates, as by an oversight we conflict with 
Knoxville, but the shooters all around us, realizing that the hard ones 
will be at Knoxville, a great many have signified their intention of 
coming to our shoot. We reasonably hope to equal if not exceed the 
number of entries we had last year, which was 42. Below find scores 
of practice shoot and sweeps of Tuesday, April 30, also club scores 
and sweeps shot this day:

Missouri State Shoot. 
Kansas City, Mo., April 24 —The chief event in to-day's programme 
at the tournament of the Missruti State Fish and Game Association 
was the contest for the i hampionship of the State at live birds. It 
was an unfortunate circumstance that no clubs from any other city 
than this one were entered, as their absence did away with the inter- 
city rivalry which has been so conspicuous a fea'ure of these contests 
in the past. Out of the championship matches which have been shot 
since 1881, six have been won by Kansas City and four by St, Louis. 
This year five clubs entered teams. These were the Kansas City Q. C., 
O. K. (i. C , Stockyards G. C, Belt Line G. C. and the Forester G. 0., 
all of Kansas City. The race between the two first-named clubs was 
close and exciting, the result being in doubt up to the last round, the 
Kansas City Gun Club's team winning by the scanty margin of one 
bird. The following are the scores made:

The target events were well patronized on this day also, several 
sweeps being decided. L. C. Smith. Lou Erhardt, Trotter, Bennett, 
Dave Elliott, Barre and Brown made the best averages. In the 30- 
target event there were 18 entries; of this numter four broke every 
target. The names of the four with straight scores were: Eberhardt, 
Brown, L. C. Smith and West. 
New York State Shoot. 
Saratoga, N. Y., April 30.— The 1895 meeting of the New York State 
Sportsmen's Association promises to be the largest and most success- 
1 ul in the history of the organization. The manufacturers throughout 
the State, and even in otner States, have responded liberally in the 
matter of merchandise prizes, and our programme will be headed in 
that department with four 8100 guns, presented by as many of the 
most noted makers of this country. In addition to this there is a very 
large list of most desirable prizes, which will he open to competition 
to all shooters residing within New York State. After carefully con- 
sidering the matter, the Saratoga Club have concluded that, in addi- 
tion to the regular events open only to New York State shooters, a 
grand tournament Bweepstakes will be given, open to the world, no- 
body barred. This will unquestionably be the largest and most attrac- 
tive shoot given in the East this year, as the entries from this State 
alone run from 80 to 120, and we confidently expect to run events with I 
as high as 150 entries, which will be the greatest number on record, to i 
our knowledge. We urge every shooter within a thousand miles of I 
Saratoga not to miss this the greatest shooting event of 1895, and 
assure them that they will find every possible detail going toward the 
making of a perfect tournament carefully and intelligently looked 
after. Rates on ail railroads within the State are reduced to those , 
desirous of attending, and extremely favorable rates have been made 
at the different hotels. Programmes will be ready for distribution by 
June 1. We are anxious that all shooters should receive a copy, and 
those with whom the club are not acquainted will confer a favor by 
writing for one to W. H. Gibbs, Sec'y. 
Newburgh vs. the Cobwebs. 
"We got there just the same, but it was very close." That's the 
way David Brown, president of the West Newburgh Gun and Rifle 
Association, describes the shoot between his club and the Cobwebs, of 
West Farms, which took place at Newburgh, N. Y., on Tuesday, April 
30. It was close, only one bird separating the two teams. Mr. B. C. 
Everinghim acted as referee, and never a kick was heard at his decis- 
ions. After the shoot came the supper at Qedney's, paid for by the 
losers. The scores were as follows:
