The Second Day, Oct. SI,. 
The strong northwest wind that swept across the Jersey meadows 
caused lots of trouble when it came to locating the bluerocks as they 
scooted and dipped before falling to the ground. Ciphers were 
especially numerous in many scores to-day, while very few could lay 
claim to a good average. It was real, downright hard shooting. 
An early start was made, the two events left over from the previous 
day, as well as the five events scheduled to t>e shot prior to the com- 
mencement of the lO target race, being shot, off hv a few minutes 
after the noon hour; all tiPS too had been decided. With twentv-five 
entries and two sets of traps, it was an easy matter 'to run off the 
main event. No. 1 squad shot its first 35 targets on No. 1 set of traps, 
and then moved up to No. 2 and shot its second 25 while No 2 pquad 
was shooting its first string on No. 1 set. As soon as No. 2 squad had 
Shot its first string it took No. 1 squad's place at No. 2 set of traps, 
No. 3 squad shooting meanwhile its first string at No. 1 set of traps. 
By this means, continuing the rotation, there was no break and no 
delay, the twenty-five shooters finishing their strings of 25 targets in 
a comparatively short space of time. The handicap allowances were 
all shot off on No. 1 set of traps. When all was over, it was found 
that there were very few ties to shoot off. 
Dr. Mason, of Peekskill, N. Y., was high with 97, so the cuo pre- 
sented by the Schultze Powder Co.. through its agents in the United 
States, Messrs. von Lengerke & Detroold, went up the Hudson River 
to stay. The Doctor broke 8| out of his first 100 and then broke 13 
out of his allowance of 15 extra targets. Ed Taylor, of the Laflin & 
Rand Powder Co.. Again shot well to the front, and scored 88 out of 
his first 100, breakine 13 out of his allowance of 15 targets. He took 
seconr* prize, the Winchester repeating shotgun, presented by the 
W. R. A. Co. Ferd Van Dyke, who has lately been quite a stranger 
at the traps, made the best score on the first 100 targets— 87: he then 
broke his allowance of 8 extras and landed in third hole with 95 He 
chose thei>earl scarf pin donated by Jacob Pentz, and also carried off 
the Remington ejector gun put up as an extra prize in an optional 
sweep. Remsen. of Brooklyn, as in the previous day's handicap, oc- 
cupied fifth place on the list vidth a total of 92, scoring 85 out of hia 
100, but losing 8 of his 10 extras. Edwards was sixth with a total of 
91, breaking 83 out of the 100 and then scoring all his extras, 8 In 
number. L. Piercy (122), Dr. De Wolf (125) and E Collins (112) tied 
for seventh place on 90 each; on the shoot-off, miss-and out, the boy 
from the Endeavor Gun Club outshothis opponents, De Wolf taking 
eighth place from Collins. George Piercy, of the home club, was 
ninth with 89. The others finished in order named below, the chief 
surprise being the low score made by Schorty, who was clear off in 
bis form, something that very seldom happens to him. Below are 
the scores, the event being shot under precisely the same conditions 
as the event of the previous day.

BKBRALD GDN OLOB, OP NEW YOBK. 
Oct so.— The regular monthly shoot of the Emerald Gun Club, of 
New York city, was held at Dexter Park this afternoon. As usual 
with these monthly gatherings of the Emeralds, there was a capital 
attendance of memliers, 29 entries being obtained in the club event at 
10 live birds per man. Of that number only two— Gus E. Greiff and 
E. P. Dudley— killed their 10 birds. Four others scored 9 each, while 
two guests of the club— J. S. Remsen and A. B. Coulter— made 9 each. 
The birds were good ones, and were considerably helped by the strong 
southwesterly wind that blew across Dexter Park. 
A special feature of to-day's shoot was the contest for a silver drum 
filled with W-A powder, donated by the Laflin & Rand Powder Co., 
through its representative, M. Herrington, who is a member of the 
Emerald Gun Club. This trophy was to go to the man mnking the 
highest score in the club race. Owing to Dudley being called away 
before the shoot was over, the ownership of the drum cannot be 
decided untU some future date, Greiff having a half share in the 
trophy.

tion. Scores In the two main events were as below:

Hunting tbe Wild Goat. 
The white goat, or Rocky Mountain goat, as it is indiscriminately 
called, is a species of big game rarely hunted by sportsmen. This is 
not so much because of the diflQculty of killing the animal, nor because 
of its actual rarity. It is a stupid animal,' easily shot when once 
found. It is not, however, shot in the usual hunting grounds, as are 
bears, deer, elk, etc. It is remote from the common localities, but where 
found is in goodly numbers. It ranges very high up in the mountains 
—above the timber line, usually- among the rocks and cliffs. This re- 
quires great labor to get to it, but once there the hunter will get his 
game nine times out of ten. 
If you care to read of a goat hunt made in the Bitter Root Range in 
Montana, in the fall of 1895, send 6 cents to Chas. S. Pee, General Pas- 
senger Agent, Northern Pacific R'y, St Paul, Minn., for "Wonderland, 
'96," which recounts such a hunting expedition.— jldu. 
Florida and Western North Carolina.
