ROBKL. 
Robs again Wins the Championship. 
Thb attendance at Cypress Hills Park, Brooklyn, N. Y., on Eleclion 
Day, Nov. 3, was decidedly flattering to the management. It was not 
only a great shoot in point of numbers; the caliber of those who took 
part in the contests was beyond question. Roas again vindicated his 
claim to the championship by beating out all his opponents, altboueh 
he was closely followed home by M. J. Dorrler. The Brooklyn Hagle 
of Nov. 4 eives the following account of the shoot: 
"F. C. Ross won the lOO-shot individual rifle championship which 
took place at Bookman's Cypress Hills Park yesterday under the 
auspices of the Zettler Rifle 01"b. All the local cracks were in evi- 
dence. Including champion Fred C. Ross, Ignatz Martin. Geb. Krauss 
and M. B. Engel, while the New York conti agent included Gus Zim- 
mermann, Henry Holges, C. G. Zettler, B, Zettler, H. D. Miiller, Dr. 
Boyken and Bernard Walther. New Jersey was looked after by Q. 
W. Plaisted and M. J. Dorrler, 
"The contest took place at the ring target, SOOyds. range, off-hand 
shooting, and the number of entries was just twenty-sir. The en- 
trance fee was $5 and this money was divided half winners and halt 
losers. As there were twent.v-six entries, thirteen divided the money 
and thirteen got nothing The two prizes offered were a handsome 
trophy, presented by Gus Zimmermann, and another by J. Bookman. 
Zimmermann's trophy was for the best score for 100 shots and Book- 
man's for the best lO shot score. Another condition was that if the 
man winning the Zimmermann trophy also made the best 10 shot 
score, then the Bookman trophy should go to the man making the 
next best 10-shot score. 
"The targets were thrown open for practice at 9 A. M;, and an hour 
later the match began with M A. Brendel at the score. Without any 
break the shooting was kept up till 5 o'clock, and then it was found 
that Frederick Ross had again won the championship and the Zimmer- 
mann trophy with a total of 2,225 out of a possible 2,500 points. 
Michael J. Dorrler was second with 2.184, while George Schlicht, the 
Guttenborg crack, finished third with 2.157. The other scores of those 
who finished were: George W. Plaisted 2,134. H. M. Pope 3,112, Chas. 
G. Zettler 2,099, Henry Holses 2,096, Bernard Zettler 2,066, H D. Spen- 
cer 2,053, L. P Hanson 2,051, Qustave Worn 2,015, H. D Muller 1,998, 
Sam Scott 1,975, R. A. Busse 1,959, Joseph Blumenberg 1,964, A. Krom- 
berg 1.922, G. P. Williams 1,837. 
"In the contest for the Bookman trophy for the best lO-shot score, 
Ross headed the list with 231 points out of a possible 850, but as he had 
won the Zimmermann trophy the Bookman prize went to Mike Dorr- 
ler, who made 230 points, the next best score for 10 shots."

Dinner to the Team of the 13th Regiment, 
N. G., N. Y. 
Captain J. A. H. Dressel, I. R. P. of the Thirteenth Regiment, N. G., 
N. Y., entertained as his guests on Saturday night, November 7, -the 
members of his team in the recent matches shot at Creedmoor. The 
dinner took place at Wilson's, Fulton street, Brooklyn, N. Y., covers 
being laid for twenty. Of the twenty, all showed up except "U. M. 
C." Thomas, the expert of the U. M. C. Company, of Bridgeport, 
Conn., of which company Captain Dressel is president. 
The list of guests present included the following ofllcers, non-com- 
missioned officers and privates of the Thirteenth Regiment: Col. W. 
L, Watson, Lieut. -Col, C. H. Luscomb, Captains J. T, Jennings and 
H. P. De Forest; Lieutenants J. T. Ashley, S. Fahnestock and T. Aus- 
tin; Sergeants T. M. Harvey, Val Werner and William Donaghy; Pri- 
vates Jamea McNevins, F. P de Vigne, George G. Constable, A, Gripel 
and W. T. Crane, Among the citizen guests was Ed. Taylor, of the 
Laflin & Rand Powder Company. 
Lieut.-Col, Luscomb was toastmaSter, and saw to it that nobody 
whom he called upon to speak was allowed to sit down without saying 
something. Tbe tone of tne speeches was decidedly complimentary 
to the Inspector of Rifle Practice, to whose efforts and attention to 
the work he undertook was attributed the better showing made in 
recent matches by the members of the Thirteenth Regiment's team. 
As usual with similar gatherings at Wilson's, the proprietor left noth- 
ing undone to make everything pass off pleasantly. To Lieut. Austin 
much also is due for the accomplished way in which he handled the 
piano. Taken altogether it is hard to realize a pleasanter gathering, 
or one more likely to create and foster good feeling among the mem- 
bers of the team, officers and men. If one-half the promises of assid- 
uous attention to practice made on that night are kept, the opponents 
of the Thirteenth Regiment's teanj at Creednioor wi|S have to look to 
their laurels next ye^.

It seems that the present system of not allowing contestants in tar- 
get handicap races to know their handicap until they have shot at the 
•last target of their allowance has its parallel in certain bicycling races 
in Australia. The New York Evening Sun of Nov. 5 has the follow- 
ing item in its column of news for bicyclisfs: "The 'loafing' methods 
adopted by some contestants in cycle races," saya a cyclist, "and no- 
tably in long events, where the real race does not begin until the last 
quarter is entered upon, when it is a dash 'or the tape, are frequently 
imf avorably commented upon by spectators at race meets. The lead - 
ing event at a recent cycle meet held in Australia was a 'secret dis- 
tance race.' The distance of the race was known to the track officers 
only, and was decided upon after it was started. The men raced 
around the track, and when the starter's gun was fired the race ended. 
The man in the lead at that point was the winner, and the other men 
obtained prizes according to their places. In a race of this kind the 
men are bound 1o keep sprinting from the start, each man striving to 
maintain the lead, as he can never tell when the race will end. The 
racing is therefore bound to be interesting to the crowd, as it does 
away with all pacing and time limits," The "secret distance bicycle 
race" is closely aDied to the "secret handicap allowance target race." 
We have received the following notice from the Bergen County Gun 
Club, of Hackensack, N. J,, regarding the conditions under which the 
''amateur championship" cup, donated by Recreation Publishing 
Company, Is to be competed for: "Contestants for the cup must be 
members of New Jersey gun clubs in good standing There will be 
seven contests for the cup, held every other month, the first to take 
place Dec, 12, 1896. All contests shall be on the grounds of the Ber- 
gen County Gun Club, at Hackensack, N. J. The person winning the 
cup the greatest number of times shall be the champion target shot 
of New Jersey, and the cup representing the same shall be awarded 
to him. All contests will be at 100 targets, 50 at known traps and 
angles, and 50 at unknown angles. Ties may be shot off at the option 
of tbe club. $5 shall be awarded at each shoot to the second gun. 
The price ot the birds will be remitted to third gun. Entrance $3, or 
price of birds. Optional sweep on each 50 targets may be arranged as 
desired. Gentlemen regarded as absolute professionals will be de- 
barred, and their names will be announced in time to avoid any In- 
convenience." The trials of a trap editor are many I Up to date we 
have had professionals — expert and semi-expert. Here's another 
class— "the absolute 1" The next should be the CZWwa 2%MZe. Trot 
him out. 
We have received a programme of Charlie Zwirlein's big shoot at 
the Interstate Fair grounds, 'irenton, N. J,, Dec, 1-3. The first event 
is a25-bird handicap, $35 entrance, birds extra at 25 cents each, handi- 
caps ranging from aSjds. to 32yds.; three moneys, 50. 80 and 20, a for- 
feit of $10 to accompany each entry. Two sets of traps will be in 
operations and extra events will be arranged to suit contestants. On 
the second day will be shot the championship event at 100 live birds, 
$100 entrance, birds free, SOyds. rise all. A, S, A. rules to govern, one 
money (high gun to take all). The Austin Cartridge Company will 
donate a challenge trophy to go to the winner. In regard to the purse 
in the championship event, we have grave doubts as to the wisdom 
of making only one money. One thing is sure, however: one money 
in such an event makes a purse worth winning. 
A match is being shot to-day on the Westminster Kennel Club's 
grounds, Babylon, L. I, between George S. McAlpln, of the Carteret 
Club, and John L. Winston. The grounds of the club are as fast as 
any in the country, while George S. Mott, the club's manager, has the 
reputation of selecting and trapping remarkably fast birds; the 
boundary also has been reducpd to one of SOjds. McAlpin has lately 
been shooting in much improved form, and bis friends ars confident 
of his success; he has done some good work on the Westminster Ken- 
nel Club's grounds, and in that respect will have a slight advantage over 
his opponent, who has never visited them. A lot of interest is shown 
in the match, Winston's victorious career since his arrival in the East 
having attracted much attention from the club men in this part. 
Pigeon-shooters who aspire to championship honors should not for- 
get that entries for Zwirlein's lOO-bird race at Trenton, N. J., close on 
Nov. 20. If, as we are informed, Dr Carver is shooting in such great 
form, he will not jeopardize his claims to the championship "of the 
world" by coming East and taking part in a-race with such a solid 
money prize at the end of it. The prize in cash would be well worth 
winning, and the Doctor could shoot the race "under protest" so far 
as his championship was concerned. If he wins he will have further 
vindicated hisriiiht to that title. We have little doubt too that he 
could arrange a match or two on the side, if he will only come and 
spend a week or two in the Bast. 
Nate Astfalk and Aaron Woodruff, both of Elizabeth, N, J,, went to 
Class's grounds at Morristown, N. J., Nov, 6, to shoot a race with 
James S. Timmons and Hathaway, both of Morristown. The condi- 
tions of the race were 25 live birds per man, $20 a corner. Astfalk 
and Woodruff won by 3 birds. On the same day Winston shot at 25 
specially selected birds. Class betting him the price of the birds that 
he could not kill 20 out of the 25; Winston made Class pay for the 
birds by scoring just the requisite number. Tbe outcome of this race 
was an agreement between the two men that a similar race should be 
shot in the near future at 50 birds. Class to furnish them. A bet of $50 
depends on whether Winston can score 40 out of the 50 birds. A for- 
feit was put up to bind the march. 
Drivers and Twisters were a little scarce in our last issue, anti Ve 
know just whose rault it was. One can't go climbing up and falUng down 
the Jersey mountains in pursuit of ruffed grouse for a few days with- 
out running the risk of our pet column getting into disgrace. And 
anent those same ruffed grouse: It's no joke trying to get the best of 
a Jersey grouse on a Jersey mountain when the rocks are slippery 
and the leaves as dry as a chip, owing to two or three days of as fine 
Indian summer weather as ever fell to the lot of a hunter. No wonder 
Drivers and Twisters were scarce. 
Bland Ballard, who won the championship of Kentucky a few days 
ago, did some good shooting before he became entitled to the name of 
champion of Kentucky. He ran 24 out ot 25 live birds, and then ran 
15 straight in the ties. He used, we believe, the old Greener with 
which he helped A. L. Ivins to defeat the Hoey-Murphy team at Elk- 
wood Park aoout 14 months ago. 
The annual meeting of the Interstate Association will be held at 
Taylor's Hotel, Jersey City, N. J., on Thursday afternoon, Dec. 17, 
The Association will have a lot of important business to consider, 
as its efforts in the line of creating interest in trap-shooting by giving 
a series of tournaments "for sport" have passed the elementary stage. 
The choice of a circuit for 1897 will be a hard nut to crack. 
A. W, du Bray is bubbling over with joy at the way in which the 
Parker gun came to the front at tbe Kentucky Gun club's shoot at 
Louisville, Ky,, and at the Macon, Ga,, Gun Club's all-day shoot at 
live birds. And, by the way, the boys at Macon seem to have the 
support of the shooters of that district; an entry list of 18 in a 25-bird 
race is not to be sneezed at. 
RoUa Heikes has made a new record, breaking lOO targets out of 105 
shot at in 8m, 7s, The feat was accomplished on the grounds of tbe 
Cleveland, O,, Gun Club, and was made on targets thrown from a 
taoagautrap. 
We have received a very interesting communication from Roger 
Van Gilder, the popular secretary of the Kuoxvlllw, Tenn,, Gun Club, 
giving in full bis ideas as to "Programme=i and Tournaments," and 
also telling in detail how to run one. Owing to the great pressure on 
our trap columns this week we are uoable to give our readerg the 
benefit of Mr, Van Gilder's expsrience in the current issue. By the 
way, there's a comet on the trap-shooting sky; it's headed toward 
Knoxville, and will, if our calculation'? are not in error, reach there 
some time in May, 1897. That cnmet has a long tail, composed en- 
tirely of cracker jacks— about 150 of them too I 
We understand that WIuRton has posted a forfeit to shoot (Carver 
a race when the Doctor comes East on his way to Europe. Winston 
wants Carver to shont him a race on the first Saturday in December 
at 100 live birds on Zwirlein's grounds at Yardville. N, J. If Carver 
accepts this offer Winston states that he will ■^a.^er $147 to $100 that 
Carver will not take the "cast iron badge" to Europe with him if the 
ownership of that badge depends on the result of the above match. 
John ,T. Sumpter, Jr., proposes to hold a big live-bird tournament 
at Hot Springs, Ark., during the months of February and March, The 
idea is a capital one, and Mr. Sumpter's efforts in this direction should 
meet with great success. In another portion of these columns we 
give Mr Sumpter's letter to us in detail. It is well worth reading by 
all shooters. 
W. H. Wolstencroft, of F rankford. Pa., has challenged Dutchy 
Smith for the Austin Trl-State cup, won by the latter at the sboot at 
Marion, N. J., Nov. 8. Dutchy has named Nov. 25, 2 P. M., and the 
Climax Gun Club's grounds at Fanwood, N. J., as the date, time and 
place for the shoot to take place. The conditions are 100 targets, 
expert rule, one man up, $25 a side, winner to take tbe cup and the 
$50. 
Trap-shooting is on tbe boom in Richmond, Va,. the efforts of some 
enthusiastic lovprs of the sport having been success'ul in creating 
quite a lot of interest among the shooters of tbo capita' of Virginia. 
A shoot was held in that city on Oct. 17, at which both English spar- 
rows and pieeona were trapped ; the attendance was sufficiently large 
to hold out hopes of better things to come. 
The fifth tournament of the Massachusetts State Shooting Associa- 
tion will be held at Haverill. Mass., Nov. 18, under the auspices of the 
Haverill Gun Club, In addition to a long programme of lO-tareet 
events, there are also the 3-men team race and the Individual prize 
match to be decided. 
The second shoot for the cup presented by the American E. 0. Pow- 
der Company to the Bergen Countv Gun Club, of Hackensack, N. J., 
took place on Saturday, Nov. 7- The cup was won by T, Bell, the 
president of the club. 
The first of a series of three races between the Endeavor Gun Club- 
of Jersey City, N, J,, and the Bergen County Gun Club, of Hacken- 
sack, N J, , ten men to a team, takes place on Saturday, Nov, 14, at 
Hackensack, 
Dr. Wynn, one of the veteran members of the New Utrecht Gun Club 
and Fountain Gun Club, of Brooklyn, N. Y,, and also a member of the 
Larchmont Y. C, made a record for the grounds of the latter club 
on Election Day by scoring 50 straigh t live birds from the SOyds, 
mark. 
In the Yale-PrlncBton-Harvard team shoot held on Saturday, Nov. 7, 
on Soldiers' Field. Yale was the winner, Princeton being second, with 
Harvard third. The scores were respectively 67, 57 and 46. 
There will be at least 10 entries in the main event at Zwirlein's 
tournament, according to figures furnished us. Zwirleln also writes 
us that he has to date (Nov. 6) .20 entries for the handicap.

Future Tournaments in the South. 
VIOKSBIJRO TOURNAMBNT. 
Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 6,— Some time ago the Hill City Gun Club, 
ot VIcksburg, Miss,, announced that it would hold a tournament on 
the 5th and 6th of this month. At the last, minute the club decided to 
change the dates, owing to their close proximity to Election Day, and 
therefore chose the 16th and 17th, The programmes for this tourna 
ment are now out, and from the amount of advertisements contained 
in the same it is evident that an abundance of local interest is mani- 
fested in this shoot. The programme calls for ten e^^ents each day, 20 
targets each, with a uniform entrance fee of $2 50; $10 added in each 
event makes up the $200 added money which the club promises, AH 
events will be known traps and unknown angles; the Rose system of 
dividing the purses will be used, but how many moneys there will be 
it fails to state, though Hke'y not less than five; 10-gauge guns and 
black powder will be barred, and Mr. Elmer E Shanerwill have charge 
of the traps and grounds. This assures those who attend that every- 
thing will pass off smoothly, and everybody knows how essential this 
is to help make tbiugs pleasant. This is the club's fifth tournaraen*', 
and all tbe previous ones were enjoyable and successful affairs. 
Present indications are that this will be but a i epetition of the former 
ones. 
HOT SPRINGS big HANDICAP. 
The commencement of the new year will doubtless see a revival of 
big tournaments. The Grand Midwinter will take place In January at 
San Antonio, Tex, In February there will be a big live-bird tourna- 
ment at Hot Springs, Ark., the feature of which will be a big handicap 
race, 25 birds each, $25 entrance, and $12 50 added for each entry; if 
tnere should be 100 entries in this event the added money would amount 
to $1,250, and this with the entrance fees would make quite a nice purse 
—one well worth striving for. There will be four other handicap 
events, all with the same number of birds and the same entrance fee, 
and any number of sweeps. The shoot will last ten days or two 
weeks, which will probably be the last two weeks in February. The 
management of the affair will be in the hands of Mr. John J. Sump- 
ter, Jr. (the only Arkansaw Traveler) ; this alone should insure its suc- 
cess, as all those who are acquainted with John know that he is thor- 
oughly familiar with all the details of this great game of ours. 
ANNIK OAKLET AT HOT SPRINGS. 
Miss Annie Oakley and her husband are now stooping at Hot 
Springs, Ark,, as the guests of Mr. John J. Sumpter, Jr. They will 
remain until about the end of the month. On Thanksgiving Day Miss 
Oakley will give an exhibition at Hot Springs, and in addition to her 
fancy trick shooting she will give John J. Sumpter, Jr., an objoct les- 
son in the art of killing pigeons. They will shoot a little raco, 25 birds 
each, and John had better look out for his laurels, or Miss Annie will 
walk off with his scalp. This is no phantom. Paul R, Litzke. 
Country Club, of Westchester, N. T. 
New York, Nov. 3,— The Election Day shoot at the grounds of tbe 
Westchester Country Club was well attended, A full day's sport was 
enjoyed by those present, nineteen mias-and-outs being decided dur- 
ing the day. One or two of the events were allowance handicaps, 
those who stood at 28yds. or back of that mark shooting miss-and- 
out, 27yd8. and under receiving a miss as a kill. Mr. Seaver Pagp, 
who has done very little trap-shooting since his severe illness last 
winter, was on hand and did some good shooting, especially towari 
the close of the day. The scores in the different events were as fol- 
lows:

Country Club, of Hanover, N. H. 
Hanovbr, N. H , Nov. 2.— The sweepstakes shoot of the Hanover 
Country Club brought out but few shooters, as the weather was very 
threatening. The scores made were poor, owing to the heavy wind 
that blew across the grounds. Mr. M. B. Beaudoin-Bennett, who acted 
as referee and scorer, is also an expert with the gun. Mr. Deas Mur- 
phy holds the club record of 96 out of 100, 21yd8. rise, unknown angles. 
The club, although a young organization and devoted to fox hunting, 
polo, golf, etc, has also a large number of members who are much 
attached to the trap shooting department. The shoots are held regu- 
larly on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at 1 P. M, To-day's 
scores were as follows: 
Thirty targets, 21yds. rise, unknown aneles:
