THE ENDEAVORS DEFEAT THE BERGEN COUNTTS. 
Nov. 14.— The teams which represented the Endeavor Gun Club, of 
Jersey City, and the Bergen County Gun Club, of Hackensack, this 
afternoon on the grounds of the Bergen County Club were mere apol- 
ogies, so to speak. The conditions of the series of three tournaments 
as originally made called for 10 to 12-men teams. The cold north 
wind that swept across the Hackensack Meadows had no doubt a good 
deal to do with keeping shooters from the traps, but the pleasures of 
a day or two in the woods aft«r ruffed grouse, quail and a few be- 
lated woodcock had a good deal more to do with the mustering of only 
7 men on a side. 
The Endeavor team was the strongest, the veteran Uncle Billy 
Hughes and Duff being the only ones whose names do not regularly 
appear on the score sheets of team races in which that clnb takes 
part. Mr. Hughes is one of the oldest live-bird shooters in the vicin- 
ity of New Tork, being over seventy years old, and his target-shoot- 
ing is only of comparatively recent growth. Mr. Duff is an active 
member of the club, and only needs more practice to crawl up into 
the company of the top-notchers. To-day's conditions as regards 
weather, etc. , were very hard on beginners. The wind blew a gale 
and caused the targets to take all sorts of flights, besides varying the 
elevations very much. This made quick and accurate work a neces- 
sity if a good score was to be made. In addition to the wind, the club 
trapped a lot of black targets that were very hard to see when the 
wind made them fly low. The average of targets painted yellow as 
against "all black" was about 20 per cent.; at one time there were 
only 4 with yellow on them out of 25 by actual count. Is it any won- 
der that high scores did not prevail f 
The home club were hard put to it to make up a team of even 7 
men, and as a consequence it suffered defeat by 19 targets out of 210 
shot at. The conditions handicapped the home team even more than 
it did the visitors, the latter having more men of experience on Its 
team. This meant a good deal to-day. W. Ricardo played in hard 
luck, shooting well'up to the 10th round, when the right barrel of his 
gun became useless through the breaking of some of the mechanism; 
this drove him to use the left barrel, and the consequences were 
fatal to his chances of a good score. Rhodes shot a capital race, 
breaking his last 15 straight. 
The conditions of to-day's race were: 7 men to a team, 30 targets 
per man; the first IS to be shot at unknown angles, the last 15 at 
known angles. Scores were:

Woolsey's Point, L. I. This club is onlya reorganization, and is an 
off-shoot of the Hell Gate Gun Club, but is not in any way opposed to

Tournament at Dayton, la. 
Dayton, la., Oct. 28.— The tournamentj'of the Dayton Gun Club 
closed to-day, after a successful shoot. About 30 shooters were pres- 
ent, among the number being: 8. A. Tucker, of Parker Bros. ; Hirschy, 
the representative of the Robin Hood Powder Co.; C M. Grimm, C. 
W. Budd, Fred Gilbert, the Kibby Bros., Densel, Abbott, Allison, 
Peterson and Bradley. 
The weather was rather unpleasant on both days, a strong wind 
blowing across the grounds. The club's grounds are first-class; the 
background is clear sky, with no tree or building of any kind to pre- 
vent a fair view of either targets or live birds. The live birds trapped 
were an extra good lot; many of them fell out of bounds after being 
hit hard with both barrels. The members of the Dayton Gun Club 
laid themselves out to ^ive the visiting sportsmen a good time, and 
they certainly accomplished what they were after, all the boys pres- 
ent on this occasion being ready to attend their next annual gather- 
ing. Below are the scores made on live birds and targets, events of

shoot a race at live birds against G. W. Hughes and A. U. Williams; 
the conditions are 50 live birds each (one can scarcely say "per man"). 
ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
S. A. B., Mingo Junction, O.— Is our common pheasant— or, as I 
claim, ruffed grouse— Identical with the same bird in the Eastern 
States? My friend claims they are not the same as the birds he saw 
exposed for sale in the Eastern markets as ruffed grouse. Also, in a 
few words, your interpretation of the law in Ohio this year on the 
same bird. Ans. 1.— The bird is the ruffed grouse. Identical with the 
Eastern bird. 2. There Is no specific provision of close season for 
shooting ruffed grouse in Ohio, but the law forbids possession except 
between Nov. 10 and Dec. 15. This amounts to a close season, for If it 
is not lawful to have In possession It is not lawful to shoot them.
