AT THE BLKWOOD PARK TRAPS. 
Oct. 10. — There was some good shooting to-day at the traps In Elk- 
wood Park. Fred Hoey was in great form, and shot more like his old 
self than he has done in many moons. The wind, which was blowing 
strongly from the east, made things unpleasant for the shooters, and 
in a measure assisted many birds to get away. The most important 
event on the programme was the Little Silver handicap. The condi- 
tions were 15 birds per man, §15 entrance, handicap rise, Elkwood 
Park boundary, high guns. This event resulted in Hoey and Al Ivins 
tieing for first and second moneys with 14 kills each. Winston was 
third with 13 kills. The scores were: 
Hoey (30) 88881 8822202228-14 Daly (30) . . 
Ivins (SO) 122081182881388—14 Patten (38) . . . 
Winston (30) . . . .830233882222380—13 Woolley (27) , , 
The second event was 5 birds, S5. The money 
Winston on 5 kills each. The scores were: Hoe,y and Winston 5, Phil 
Daly, Jr., 4, Ivins and Woolley 3, Daly and Patten 2. 
Charles Woolley, who is a member of the Central Gun Club, of 
Long Branch, won the third event, a $5 miss-and-out, with 3 straight 
kills. The other scores were: Daly and Patten 3, Hoey, Winston and 
Ivins 1 each. 
Woolley was also to the fore in the next event, same conditions 
as No, 3. Scores; Wooley and Daly 7, Hoey and Patten 6. Ivins 8. 
Event No. 5 was at 10 birds, $10 handicap rise. As in the Little 
Silver Handicap, Hoey and Ivins took first and second moneys, but 
this time they had 10 straight kills to their credit. Scores: 
Hoey (30) 1222318833—10 Woolley (28) 3123221380— 9 
Ivins (SO) 8113321133—10 Patten (88) 0110103083— G 
Daly (30) 2003820113— 9 
The sixth event was another miss-and-out, $5 entrance. It was not 
a long contest, Hoey and Daly dividing the pot on the second round. 
Scores: Hoey and Daly 8, Patten, Woolley and Ivins 1. 
OLIMAS GUN CLUB, OF PLAINITIELD,

Qun Club, of Plain field, held this alternoon, was very small. Those 
who put in an appearance did some good shooting, as the following 
scores will testify.

RIVKRTON GUN Ci.tTB. 
Oct. 17.— The two days' shoot of the Riverton Gun Club, of Philadel- 
phia, Pa., was held on the grounds of the club at Riverton, N. J. 
There was an excellent programme of events, the attecdanee of 
shooters being proportionately good. On Friday, Oct. 16, the first 
day of the shoot, the number of spectators present was proof of the 
interest taken in the shoot. To-day, Oct. 17, the attendance of spec- 
tators was very large.' The birds provided by the club were of extra 
good quality, many being as good as ever left a trap. 
First Day, Oct. 16. 
The 25-bird handicap resulted in a division of first and second 
moneys between J. B, Davis (30) and H. Yale Dolan (29) with 24 each. 
Four men tied for third money on 23. The shoot-off, at 8 birds, then 
miss-and-out, ended in a division between Count and Macalester. The 
conditions of the race were: 
Twenty-five live birds per man, $25, handicap rise, ties to be shot off 
at 8 birds, then misE-and-out; cup and 50 per cent, of the purse to 
the winner; 25 per cent, to second; 15 per cent, to third, and 10 per 
cent, to the club. Half the birds to be shot at on the "old grounds," 
balance on the "new grounds." 
Tie for third 
money.

Second Day, Oct. 17. 
This was the day set for the 50- bird race. In some respects it was a 
poor day for live-bird shooting, a strong wind blowing right in the 
face of the man at the score, and consequently all against outgoing 
birds. Half the match was shot on the "old grounds," the other half 
on the "new grounds." First money went to T. 8. Stokes with 47 
out of 50; Macalester lost his 50th bird, a left-quartering incomer, dead 
just out of bounds over the wire. Conditions: 
Fifty live birds per man, 850 entrance, handicap rise. Cup and 50 
per cent, of entrance moneys to the winner, 25 per cent, to second, 15 
per cent, to third, and 10 per cent, to the club:

NEW JERSEY AMATEUR TRAP-SHOOTERS' LKAGrTK. 
Oct. J7.— The fifth shoot of the New Jersey Amateur Trap-Shooters' 
League was held on the grounds of the Oritani Field Club this after- 
noon. Each club composing the League was represented by a team 
of six men in the team race, the members of the teams making a 
goodly muster of shooters on the grounds. Those present had all the 
shooting they wanted, the management of the shooting department 
of the Oritani Field Club having placed an extra set of traps in posi- 
tion in order to give their guests all the chance possible to fire as 
many cartridges as they brought with them. As a result, very few 
carried any cartridges away with them. 
The weather was unfavorable, being dull and threatening rain all 
the afternoon. The traps did not work as well as usual, and this 
combined with the bad light made shooting hard and straights scarce. 
The team race resulted in a close finish, the Boiling Spriags Qun 
Club, of Rutherford, coming in first from scratch with 140 breaks out 
of 180 shot at. The Endeavor Gun Clnb, of Jersey City, also a scratch 
team, tied for second place witb the team of the Bergen County Gun 
Club, of Hackensack, the members of the latter team shooting at 3 
extra targets per man; both clubs scored 138 breaks. 
The teams were split up, squads being made up with men from 
different teams. Bach squad shot first at 15 targets, known traps 
and angles. After every man bad shot at this 15 targets the squads 
were called up in rotation to shoot at 15 targets, unknown angles, the 
handicap allowances being also shot off at unknown angles. It will 
thuB be seen that the final result was in doubt until the last shots had 
been fired. The optional swepp gotten up in connection with the team 
race was divided as follows: Schortemeier first money with 29 out of 
30, Edwards second with 28, Qns Greiff and C. R. Wise third with 26, 
each. The optional sweep only went on the first 30 targets, handicap' 
allowances not being counted. 
[Contrary to custom, and to our expectations, we have received no- 
copy of eitber the scores in the team race or in the sweeps up to the, 
time of going to press.] 
On Tiong Island. 
NEW UTRECHT GUN CLUB. 
Oct. i?".- Only four members of the New Utrecht Qun Club turned 
up at Woodlawn to-day, but they had a treat. The 174 birds used 
were the finest lot I have seen trapped in some time, being quick to 
start and lightning when on the wing. President Furgueson was 
called away on account of sickness at home in the 4th round of first, 
miss-and-out. Dr. Littlefleld and J. E. Jones kept shooting until their 
shells gave out. Scores:

Position of the Gun vs. Sportsmanship. 
Paterson, N. J., Oct. 1^.— Editor Forest cmd Stream: I am a con- 
stant reader of your paper, and I, like many of my fellow townsmen 
and brother sportsmen, have been very much impressed for some time 
past by the way in which things pertaining to sport in general 
and trap-shooting in particular are taken up and discussed in your 
columns. 
Hardly a week passes but some fresh subject of interest to shooters 
is noticed, and week by week I find myself opening my Forest and- 
Stream and glancing through to see what new matter it has brought 
forward. 
In your issue of Oct. 10 there is a most Interesting letter from "46- 
grains" which contains a great deal more than 48gr8. of common 
sense. I am a trap-shooter myself, as well as a game shot, and I can 
thoroughly indorse all that "48-grain8" says. The advocates of "gun 
below the elbow" forget that this was originally the position with all 
trap-shooters. The change of position came as an improvement on 
the old, and for good reasons. It must be remembered that trap- 
shooting is of English origin. 
The old rule calling for use of one barrel and gun below the elbow 
also placed the shooter at 35yds. from the trap only. At that time but 
one trap was used, or if more than one, the shooter knew which trap- 
he was going to have pulled. The change was then made to using flve 
traps, 5yds. apart, and the shooter not to know which trap^^he was 
going to get. The use of both barrels was allowed, and the usual dis- 
tance for the shooter to stand at from the center trap was 30yds. 
These changes were made chiefly for the following reasons: 
First, to stop cheating, which had in some oases become very com- 
mon under the old rule. Second, to more nearly assimilate the con- 
ditions to those of shooting in the field, where the use of both barrels 
is allowed, and when you do not usually know exactly from what point 
a bird will spring. Third, to make the shooting more varied and less 
mechanical, for it has been found that any man who practiced the 
one barrel and gun below the elbow position could beat the game 
shot, if the latter faced the traps, far more than can be done whea 
holding the gun as at present and using both barrels. 
The change was first made to "gun below the shoulder," and for 
many years that was the position used at all the best clubs, but it 
was found that even that position was open to the same old objec- 
tions, vis: That it was almost impossible for a referee to say exactly 
whether the gun was being held properly or not at the moment of 
firing, especially if a man was shooting in a loose-fitting coat, as then 
the butt of the gun could scarcely be seen by the referee unless he 
stood in front of the shooter, which was out of the question. 
Also afield shot or a new pigeon shot was kept thinking whether he 
had got his gun right or not, and did not in consequence do himself 
justice. Then, too, an appeal would sometimes be made to a referee 
-as to the way in which the gun was being held, simply in order to dis- 
tract or worry the shooter. For these and several good and sufiflcient 
reasons the man who had the control of pigeon shooting on such 
grounds as the Oercle dee Patineurs, at Paris; Monte Carlo; the Qun 
Club, Notting Hill; and at Hurlingham, decided to allow a man to hold 
his gun in any position he chose, as can be done in the field, 
The advocates for going back to the old rule, I find, are generally 
under the impression that a man who has practiced the position which 
BO many men use of gluing the gun to the shoulder before and after 
the word "pull" is given, has an advantage over the man who does 
not do so. 
In reply to this, I would say that the best amateur pigeon shots in 
this country, and I believe abroad as well, do not keep the gun up to 
shoulder, but throw it up on calling pull; this is certainly the case 
with George Work, Edgar Murphy, Fred Hoey, Chas. Macalester, Lou 
Thompson, Joe Knapp, Bobby Welsh, etc., etc, etc. 
An Old-Timer. 
Xiimited Gun Club's Tournament. 
I [On Oct. 6-8, at Indianapolis, Ind., the Limited Qun Club gave one of 
its mammoth tournaments. Those who failed to attend lost a treat, 
for nowhere can one have a more enjoyable time than at the said 
grounds. 
Frequent reference has been made to the manner of trapping the 
targets here, so that any further mention is not necessary. Suffice it 
to say that every newcomer at once falls into the style and admires 
It corresponditgly. 
I reached the grounds on the day before the opening one, and on 
looking about found the pilot and mainstay of the club away down 
in one of the pits busily engaged fixing up the traps and pulls. Any 
one who has been to these grounds knows very well of whom I speak, 
but for the benefit of those who have the misfortune of not having 
been there I will state that the man is Royal Robinson, and that's 
enough, for no one can go to those grounds and come away without 
having under his vest a very warm side for that gentleman. 
Owing to a pretty stiff breeze on all of the first day the scores are 
not as high as one generally sees on these grounds, and then again 
the reverse pull system is hard to catch on to, as many aspirants have 
found out. The scores therefore of Messrs. Rattle, McDonald, McVey 
and Clark are really very good, while Mr. Robinson made a great 
effort in the Grand Hotel cup match when he tied Mr. Eblesisor. 
To say that the sparrows were lively and artful on the third day 
does not in any sense cover the case. I have never seen sparrows 
trapped as well as in Indianapolis, and Mr. Hill, the purveyor, is cer- 
tainly an adept as well in catching as in trapping these little chaps. 
By an ingenious method he places 15 traps in a line, so that 5 men are 
called up at a time, each one facing three traps, 2J^yds. apart. This 
system allows the shooting to go on much faster, as the 15 traps are 
loaded by five boys all at one time and one shoots in squads as in tar- 
get shooting. Some great shooting was done here, notably by Messrs. 
Chadwick, McDonald and McVey, who centered the little rascals 
"coming and going" and every other way. 
It is a real pity that the shooting of sparrows Is not more universal, 
as it affords great and difficult sport, and actually teaches a man 
somethmg that afield may benefit him in the handling of his gun. The 
man who can score 90 per cent, on Hill's sparrows from three un- 
known traps, 25yds. rise, Is a very good shot indeed, especially on a 
windy day and in the autumn, when the color of the grass and that of 
the birds blend so weU together. 
In the first few rounds the pigeons were slow to start and offered 
very easy marks: later on they improved, and good shooting was had. 
In this nine traps' were'used, 2i^yds. apart, 31yds. rise, traps pulled all 
at once. One man up In the middle, unknown traps, 5 birds to the 
round ; hence in the lO-hlrd event one went to the score twice and in 
the 15 three times. There being nine traps even after firing the fifth 
shot, there were still four traps full; so it was just as much unknown 
traps as from any other way of shooting. To avoid the bird's suffer- 
ing when one was shot, but not killed outright, it was dispatched by 
some one detailed for that purpose, while all doubtful birds were in- 
stantly gathered before being scored. 
Mr. McDonald went out In flying colors, having scored his 25 
straight, followed closely by Chadwick with 24, and Lyons and 
Voris with 33. The pigeons in the 15-bird event proved good, strong 
flyers, and Messrs. McDonald and Chadwick deserve special mention 
for their good work, both men making brilliant kills. 
Should the Limited Gun Club, with its convenient, cozy club house 
and beautiful grounds, give during the winter a llve-bh-d tournament, 
it would doubtless be a most attractive affair, as very few places 
could offer as many advantages, both as to location and arrangement 
of the grounds. I hope that such may be done in the near future, as 
certainly no club is deserving of better patronage, nor can any offer 
such comforts or advantages. 
The scores made in the three days of the tournament follow:
