MATCHES AND SWEBP8TAUBS AT ZWIRLEIN'S, 
Oct. 30.— J. L. Winston, the Eastern representative of the Austin 
Powder Company, of Cleveland. O., shot a couple of small races to- 
day on Charlie Zwirlein's grounds, at Yardville, N. J. ■ The first 
match was with the proprietor of the grounds himself, Charlie Zwir- 
lein, the conditions being 25 live birds per man. 825 a side. In this 
match Winston was an easy winner, Zwirlein being out of all form 
and retiring at the end of the 20th round, 5 birds to the bad. In the 
second match, .50 birds per man $50 a side, Winston met George Cub- 
berly, one of the most reliable piaeon-shooters in this part of the 
country. On the first 25 Winston led by 2 birds, but in the last string 
Cubberly pulled up on him and only met defeat by the narrow mar- 
gin of 44 to Winston's 45. 
Winston's shooting to-day was remarkable, as, in addition to scoring 
63 out of 70 birds in the above two matches, he was a winner in every 
sweep shot during the day, making a straight score of 64 kills in the 
eight sweeps. The scores in the matches were as follows:

TWO ISTEHBSTING EVENTS AT MARION. 
Nov. 3.— Two interesting events were decided to-day on the grounds 
of the Endeavor Gun Club, at Marion, N. J The first was an individ- 
ual match, 100 targBts per man, expert rules, one man up, $25 a side, 
the principals being 147 (Jack Winston) and H. G. Wheeler, of Marl- 
boro, Mass , now on his way to spend the winter in the South. Both 
men shot poorly, Winston finally winning by 6 breaks with the score 
of 75 to 69. It Is true that the light was very trying and that the tar- 
gets were thrown very low and fast, but it seems odd that both men 
should shoot so far below their true form. Wheeler had a hoodoo 
that prevented his breaking the target from No. 4 trap, whether it 
was pulled first or last. We have an idea that he missed that one tar- 
get about 16 times out of the 29 it was pulled for him. The scores in 
this event were as below:

11000101110101111101001111011011011111111011111011—36—69 
Piatt Adams acted as judge for Wheeler, H. S. Welles watching the 
targets on behalf of Winston. Carl von Lengerke occupied the dual 
position of referee and scorer. Tommy pulled the traps and worked 
the indicator. 
Several sweepstakes followed, all at unknown angles, and then 
came the real event of the day, 
THE ^I-STATE CHAMPIONSHIP AT BXPERr RULES, 
for a silver cup donated by the Austin Powder Company, of Cleve- 
land, O. While the cup is taken as emblematic of the tri State cham- 
pionship at expert rules, it loses part of its prestige as such from the 
fact that contestants for the cup must always shoot a certain powder, 
the "147" load. It is a handsome trophy and can only become the 
absolute property of the holder when one defends his title to it suc- 
cessfully for six consecutira months. It is subjset to challenge 
every thirty davs, thus a man may have to defend it five times before 
becoming owner of the same. 
The number of entries for this event was small, but this was only 
what one could expect, duty to one's country keeping many a would- 
be contestant away from the traps to drop a ballot in the box for 
McKinley or Bryan. Among those who took part were Charlie 
(Dutchy) Smith, of Plainfleld. N. J.; Billy Wolstencroft, of Philadel- 
phia, Pa ; Eddie Collins and Ferd Van Dyke, both good men at this 
style of shooting; Neaf Apgar, Dutchy Smith's fellow townsman; W. 
M. Stanbrough, from Newburgh, N. Y.; J. L. Brewer, of New York 
city; Piatt Adams, Duston, Welles, Carl von Lengerke and Edwards. 
Winston and Mr. Harding, a gentleman from Boston, Mass., a friend 
of Charlie Budd's, but a beginner at trap-shooting, shot along for 
"the birds," neither being eligible to compete for the trophy. The con- 
ditions of the shoot were: 50 targets per man, expert rules, one man 
up, '$5 entrance, open only to residents of New York, New Jersey and 
Pennsylvania. 
Scores in this event again ruled remarkably low, Winston being on 
top (but not for the cup) with the score of 39 out of his 50. Dutchy 
and Brewer tied for the cup on 88 each; Van Dykeand Collins tied for 
second place with 37, Wolstencroft being third with 35, Collins made 
a remarkably poor start, scoring only 15 out of his first 25; be then 
pulled himself together and ran 22 out of his last half, thus landing 
within 1 of the cup after all. Dutchy and Brewer were tied at the end 
of the 40Ch round with 30 breaks each. Out of his next 5 the Plain- 
fleld man lost 1, while Brewer broke them all; the latter was thus 
1 to the good with only 5 more to shoot at, Dutchy scored all his last 
5 and then everybody waited to see what Brewer would do; be broke 
No, 5, the first trap pulled, and followed it up by smashing iato dust 
The target that went from No. 1. With the two outside ones gone and 
broken, it looked as if he had the cup sure, but the unexpected hap- 
pened; his 3d target was from No. 4, Wheeler's hoodoo, and it "got 
away." He broke the last 2 and tied, as stated above. 
The tie was shot off at once at 25 targets each, Dutchy scoring only 
19, but winning easily, as Brewer fell down to 15. As stated else- 
where, Wolstencroft at once deposited a forfeit of $10 with Forest 
AND Stream, and issued a challenge to the winner.

Mr. Henry Febiger, a prominent member of the Keystone Snooting 
League, of Philadelphia, kindly consented to act as referee. The 
traps were again pulled by Tommy, while Max Herzig performed the 
duties of indicator. The latter phrase may sound a little obscure, so 
a few words explaining the method of using an indicator in this race 
will not be out of place: Two empty shell-boxes (the usual twenty- 
flve ahell size) were used, a hole being cut in tbe top of each large 
enough to admit a hand. Inside one box were placed five wads, num- 
bered respectively 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. As each man stepped to the score 
for his five targets Mr. Herzig put his hand in the box and pulled out 
a wad, showing the number on it to the puller, who pulled that trap 
when tbe word was given. This wad was then dropped into the other 
box if the target was a fair one; if it was a broken target and not ac- 
cepted by the shooter, the wad went back into the first box and a 
fresh shake-up given. This method was pursued until all of the five 
traps had been pulled. Thus a man did not necessarily get the same 
trap after a balk, although it might happen so. This made the pulUng 
absolutely fair, and eliminated as far as possible all element of chance 
in the way of balks. The scheme was Forest and Strbam's. 
BOILING SPRINGS GUN CLUB. 
Nov. 7.— The monthly club shoot of the Boiling Springs Gun Club> 
of Rutherford, was held this afternoon. The weather was as nearly 
perfect for trap-shooting as one could wish, hence good scores were 
the rule. The club event is shot at 50 targets, extra targets allowed 
the weaker shots. The first 25 is shot at known angles; the second 25 
and the handicap allowance at unknown angles. The scores count at 
the end of the season, a cup being put up by the club, and the man 
winning it the greatest number of times to become its owner; the club 
will also divide about $90 in cash among the other winners. The Laf • 
lin & Rand Powder Company also put lip for competition this after- 
noon one of its silver kegs of W-A powder, the keg going to the high 
man in the club event. Baron, with an allowance of 5 extra targets, 
won the event with a score of 48 out of a possible 55, Huck, the sec- 
retary of the club, was second with 46, scoring 21 at known angles, 
but running 25 straight at unknown angles. Edwards and Winston 
(147), the latter a guest of the club, broke 45, both making 24 out of 
the 25 targets at unknown angles. James, one of the veterans of the 
club, shot well and landed with 45 out of a possible 55 Mrs. M. F. 
Lindsley, who is a member of this club, paid it a farewell visit this 
afternoon, it being her intention to return to Cincinnati, O., in a few 
days. The scores in the club shoot were as below:

Nov. S.— The Jeannette Jagd Club held its Election Day live bird 
shoot on the Guttenburg race track. The attendance was very good 
20 members taking part in the club event at 10 live bu-ds per man. Of 
the 7 men in Class A, 4 made clean scores and shot off, miss-and-out, 
for the trophy for that class. Bruoie fell out in the 7th round but 
the other tbree killed 10 straight; in the 11th round a singular piece of 
shootmg was witnessed, each man losing a bird. As the supply of 
pigeons was exhausted, the three men drew for the trophy, with the 
result that Charlie StefCens took it home with him. In Class B Henry 
Nobel, who is also a member of the New York German Gun Club, and 
Henry Gerdes tied for the medal; they drew for the trophy, Nobel 
winning it. The scores were: 
Class A, 28yda.: shoot for badge.

PHCBNIX GUN OLDB, 
Oct. SS.— Nine members of the Phoenix Gun Club took part in the 
club's regular monthly shoot, held i o day at Dexter Park. The birds 
were a good lot of flyers, and although the club mark is 25yds all on 
the same mark, 13 out of 15 was the best that any of tno shooters 
could do "Uncle Billy" Hughes, David Freileigh and E. H. Madison

TBE DEXTER PARK TOURNAMENT. 
A tournament was given at Dexter Park, L. I., by its proprietor. H 
Lippack, on Oct. 29-30, tbe stmot being under the auspices of the Em- 
erald Gun Club, of New York, an organization that has held its reg- 
ular monthly shoots at this park for many years. In point of num- 
bers the attendance at this shoot was about an average for smaJl 
tournaments In this vicinity. The added money was very small while 
the races were nearly all 15 and 20 target events, rather too long for 
the poorer shots to hope to get in for money. In addition to all this 
the open season for game is now on and many trap-shooters from 
New York and Brooklyn are out in the woods after ruffed grouse and 
woodcock. 
First Day, Oct. S9. 
Some rattling good scores were made at the target traps to dav 
H. G. Wheeler, of Marlboro, Mass. ; Ferd Van Dyke, Justus von Len- 
gerke; J. 8 S. Remsen, of Brooklyn; J. L. Winston and L, H Schorie- 
meier. all making high averages. The special feature to-day was an 
individual match, 50 targets per man, expert rules, one man up. »10 a 
side, the principals being J. L, Winston and Wheeler. Winston won 
the match by 1 target, although at the end of the 25th round he was 
8 behind Wheeler, and was still 2 behind at the end of the 39th round

Second Day^ Oct. SO. 
The weather to-day was extremely fine and warm for the time of 
year, and the natural consequence was that the birds were not as fast

Nov. 7.— The target grounds of the New Utrecht Gun Club, of 
BrooKlyn, at Dyker Meadow, were practically deserted this after- 
noon, notwithstanding the fact that it was the day for the club shoot 
and the contest for the Hegeman badge. Dr. Pool, a Class B 
man, was high in the club shoot with 20 out of 25 targets 
known traps and angles. In the Hegemin badge contest, also 
known traps and angles, A. B. Purdy, of Class C, with 2 extra tar- 
gets to shoot at, landed an easy winner. This victory for Purdy 
really gives the badge to Mr. Adams, who has won the badge so often 
that hi3 nearest competitor, Donly Deacon, cannot equal his record 
were he to win aU the contests for that trophy that yec remain to be 
8QOC. Scores:
