ON LONG UPLAND. 
WORK AND KNAFP TTEJi. 
i)ec Sf74— George Work and J. Knapp shot a tie race to-day on 
the sToiinfls of the Westminster Kennel Oluh, at Babylon. These 
two pronainent amateurs have met rnany times during the past two 
sf>a,e(ons, and the honors have more frequently fallen to Knapp than 
to Work. Work, however, has been doing some great shooting of 
late, and was the favorite in to-day's race. The scores made were 
bot pbenompnal. butit must be remembered that the boundary was 
pnly aoyds.. tlie old Westminster Kennel Club's boundarv of 50yds. 
having- be.en broueht in aOyds. There was no, wind to help the birds, 
's'6 nfiturally one would hav:e looked for the '90 mark to have been 
t-eached, notwithstanding tlje small boundary. As it was,, the best 
the shootprs could do was 87 each, both losing their birds in the 8Vth 
rotiiid and then running out with "13 unfinished." Work had B birds 
fall dead out of bounds; Knapp is credited with S, At the end of the 
50th round Knapp was leading by 2 birds, but at the end of the 56th 
round the totals were a tie. Out of the next 19 rounds each man lost 
2. the totals being still a tie at the three-quarter mark. Eleven 
straight was then recorded for each shooter. In the next rouhd, the 
«7th, Work^s bird fell dead out of bounds; Knapp did not take advan- 
tage of the slip, as he also lost his bii'd in the same round. Both 
then killed straight to the end, the race resulting in a tie, as stated 
above. The hig-b runs were: Work 24, 18, 18, 12 and 10; Knapp 18, 14, 
13. Scores were.

THE ELLTOTT PBLtORtl MATfalt'. 
jDee. sr.— Thfi season of i89'5 was brOugljt to a fitting close at Dexter 
3?arfc to-day. Elliott and Pu1foi;d, two old-time rivals at the trap, 
and both of them corking; good shots, shot a race to-day 'on the above 
grrounds for gion a side and the Kansas City Stdr cup, won recently 
by EiUiott from J-. C Riley, of Kansas Tity, Everybody knows .jini 
Slliott\ a>nd everyb6dy knows E. D. Fulford, and as a natural cons - 
Qilenee there was more than the usual amount of interest evinced in 
the outcome of this match 'There was no betlihs— there very seldom 
IS nowadays— and so much the better for the sl^ort. There Was, how- 
ever, that comfortahle feeling tjjat both men were trying to win. 
The dav was as Ipveljr a day as we have ever experienced at this 
tiine of the year. Itv as cToudle.ss overhead, fL bright sun shining, 
with the thermometer somewhere in the neighbo-hood of the 40 
mark. With 3 or 4in. of snow on the eround. it is unnecessary to 
state that underfoot things wel-e decidedly sloppy. Scarcely a breath 
of wind stirred the flag tha* hunz limply from the flagstaff at Dexter 
Park; occasionally it would try to straiffhten out, but when it did so 
the breeze did not come from the right direction ; what there was of 
it fame from the northeast, but there was not enough to take into 
account when figuring on the quality of thei birds. Of the birds, we 
can only say that they were a clean lot to look at; the big majority 
of them were alV blue, and small of size and clean of wing. It seemed 
to us that their tails were trimmed decidedly too close to make them 
feel all iMgbt when trying to r'se quickly from the ground. In damp 
weather, and when a bird's tail is wet and dirty, it is all very well to 
trim them a bit. but bobtailed birds can't fly like birds that have a 
good portion of their tails to guide them. As flyers, to-day's lot 
were more than fair, when it is taken into consideration that there 
was no wind to aid them. Many of them were excellent birds, hut it 
is no discredit to Mr. Liopack to say that we have seen far faster 
bii-ds on his erounds. He did bis best, and bad procured good birds, 
but everything was against tbem. As a matter of fact, Elliott had 
only 18 that showed any iceoming tendency, while Fulford's score 
shows just 23. 
With two such men at the score it does not take long to an-ange 
preliminaries. Ed Taylor, of Laftin & Rand Powder Company, was 
chosen referee, vjhile Aaron Woodruff, of Elizabeth, acted as trap- 
puller. Major J. M. Taylor, of the American Field, and the repre- 
sentative of Forest and Stream act-^d as offtcial scorers. Ferd. Van 
Dyke looked after his side partner, Jim Elliott; Gus. E. Greiff, of the 
firm of Von Lengerke & Detmold, watched, Fulford's interests. 
HOW THE MATCH WAS SHOT. 
The match was set for 1 P. M. prompt, and it was only thirteen 
minutes after that hour when Elliott stepped to the score, having won 
the toss, and killed his bird, a good one from No. 4 trap and an exact 
counterpart of the bird he lost in the first j-ouud at Trenton. N. J., on 
Dec. 3. After killing his bird Jim remarked, "There's one first bird I 
haven't lost.'" referring to a very usual habit of his of losing his first 
bird In a match. Fulford drew an easy one for his 1st, but lost his 
Sd bird, dead just halfway between the 50yds. and 80yds. boundarv 
stakes. Elliott's 5tb bird had to be flagged to make it get up and 
scoot. Fulford in the same round had a flipper from No. 2 trap that 
circled to the right, being apparently untouched with the first, light- 
ing on the ground near No. 5 trap; the second shell did its work. 
Elliott''s Tth was a srood fast twister, not fast enoueh, however, to get 
away. Fulford's 9th was a chocolate-colored bird that loitered i.n 
the trap, but did not need the scare rope. When it started thtre was 
Bothing hard about it; at least E. D. didn't let it get hard. Fulford's 
15th was an extra fast bird, well killed. In the 16th round Elliott had 
to shoot at two birds, bis first being shot on the ground. In the 17eh 
round Fulford lost another bird dead out of bounds; it was an in- 
comer that fell just over the dead line. Elliotfs 8 d bird was scored 
with an excellent shot with the second shell, the kill calling forth the 
first applause from the spectators. At the end of the 35ch round the 
scores stood : Elhott 25 Fulford 23. 
THE SECOND TWENTY-FIVE. 
The second 25 saw Fulford fall still further in the rear, Elliott los- 
ing only one bird to his three. Elliott^s i6th and 27th were both fast 
birds, the 27th being a right quartering driver that towered, the sec- 
ond shell again doing good work inclosing up the bird vrhen it looked 
likely to get away altogether. In the 28th round each man drew an 
exactly similar bird from the same trap, No. 2. both fast drivers. 
Fulford's 29th was a fast, low-flying bird that was neatly centered 
■with both barrels. In che 30th round Elliott scored his first loss; the 
bird was an easy one, and it seemed almost unaccountable how it came 
to go out of bounds; it just reached the roof of the club house and 
fell over stone dead. This loss put Fulford only one babind, and his 
stock took a rise when he made a great second-barrel stop of a cho- 
colate-colored bird that went straight away from the traps, towering 
as it gained speed. His kill of this bird was generously applauded. 
Fulford lost at other bird in the -Sith round, just such a bird as any- 
one is likely to miss. The pigeon was a vrhiie one with lots of slate 
color about it; ii l^ff c No 2 trap slowly, then flipped to the right just 
as the first barrel was fired, jumping clear out of the load, and 
straiiihtened out for the fence; Fulford seemed a long time in locat- 
msrit again, and the second did it no harm apparently. Elhott's 
8Hth was a right quarterer from No. 4 that seemed to be missed 
clean with the first ; the second shell made up for all deficiencies, the 
charge of shot centering it and causing the bird to faU in a heap. In 
the 3Bth ro"nd Elliott drew No, 2 trap and the bird sat for awhile; 
Jim haa just gotten the word "No—" out of his lips, intending to 
call no bird, the bird jumping as he started to call it. He scored it 
all right and saved the referee any trouble that might have arisen 
over his not shooting at it. In the 40th round he had another no 
bird, called this time by the referee, who saw that the bird eoiild 
not fly (Bflly Mills caught it, when he went out to put another in the 
empty t ap). After this "'no bird" Jim drew a ratihng good one 
from Mo. 5 trap. FulloroPin the 43d round shot a bird on the ground 
and had to lake another, scoring it. In the next round he lost a tow- 
ering right-quar ei-ing driver from No. 2 trap; the bird was not hit 
very hard with the first barrel; the second cenDered it nicely, but ihe 
bird drifted out of bounds before reaching tne ground. Tins piece 
of ill luck again nefell him in the 46th round, Fulford waiting a long 
time with his second on a fast bird. In the 4iiTh round both men 
scored good kills; Elliott's bird was a towering right quartering 
driver from No. 4, he hit it lightly with his first load out centered it 
well with the second. The score at the halfway mark was EUiott 49, 
Fulford 45. 
THE THIRD TWENTY-FIVE. 
In the third series of 25 birds Elliott gained three birds on Fulford, 
making his total 73 to 66 at the end of the 75tn round, a great gaic 
and a commanding lead. Inthe54tQand 58th rounds Elliott experi- 
enced a couple of slices of good luck. In the 54th round he hit-his 
bird, a circling right-quarterer from No. 3, with both loads, but the 
pigeon would never have been scored had it not been for the 2ft. 
wire fence that marKed the boundary; the bird flew wobbling over 
the ground, bringing up against the fence; with an open boundary 
it would surely have gone over. His 58th, a chocolate-colored bird, 
performed an almost similar feat, the wire alone stopping it from 
going out. His fOth was a fast bird; it was bit hard with both lo9.ds, 
coming almqsfto the ground'; it then flew for the boundary, just 
cleaHng the fence. At the end of the 7.^th round Elliott had made 
the great record of 73 kills, with two dead oiic. And these 75 biirds 
were not all duff'ers by any means. 
Fulford lost his 52d bird, a strong bluerock, that carried away 
enough of the shot sent after jt to cause it to come to the ground 
over the boundary fence. His 59th bird was from No. 2 trap,"and is 
marked on the score as a hoverer; the decision of the referee on this 
bird was eniinently proper judging from the position we saw the 
bird m from where we were doing the scot-lng. His 67ch was an extra 
fast bird, weU killed. His 71st was also a fast bird and .was an ex- 
cusable miss. It was on his 73d bird that we think he made the.noor- 
est shot of the day; this bird was a big blue one that left No. 1 trap 
quite fast, quartered directly ^(iross the trat)S, and wis allowed to 
go sc^t fresi Fulford palpably failing tb appreciate the bird's stjeed 
and shooting behind it both tithes. These two consecutive misses, 
With the loss Of another easy bird in the 75th round, placed the issue 
of the inatch beyond all doubt. 
THE LAST QTrARTKR. 
luthe last series of 25 birds Fulford did somn good work, accoimt- 
ing for 24 of them, his single lost bird, bis 89th, falling dead out of 
bounds. His 91st was scored with a great second-barrel kill that 
called forth applause ; his 97th was also a good piece of work, the 
second barrel being used very effectively on a fast bird that cu-cled 
out to the left from No. 2 trap. Elliott had some good birds in his 
last 35. The 8Hth was a fast driver that was hit bard with both bar- 
rels; on receiving the second barrel it turned and came back to the 
score, falling on the roof of a house outside the grounds, a boy re- 
trieving It a few mmutes later. His 91st and 94th both fell dea^d out 
of bounds, the 94th actually breaking its wing while flying, and com- 
ing down just outsiile the 50yds. boundar.y. On both these birds, and 
also on his gSd (another lost bird), he seemed to dwell a long time 
with his second load, appai-ently trying to show what long "second- 
barrel kills he could make with his pump 1" With four single shells 
he scored bis 96tb-99th birds inclusive— just to show that he did not 
?n'^^<?^'^**^ ^^^'^^'^ ^" The double figure runs were: Elliott 
39. 29 and 15: Fulford 18. 16, 14, 1-3 and 11. 
The match was brought to aclo.se at 3:12. one minute less than 
two hours for the 200 birds. The times per 50 birds were': 1st, 27 min- 
utes; 2d, 30 minutes; 3d, 30 minutes; 4tb, -32 minutes. 
HbW- THE TRAfe WERB PULLED. 
Thfe way the traps fell to each shooter was as follows: 
No. 1. No. a. Np. 3. No. 4. No. 5. Total. 
glli^tt., 18 23 17 23 19 100 
Fulford ....3^ 25 2l 35 7 lOO 
, 46 48 m 48 26 200 
The failure of No. 5 trap to turn up for Fulford is something un- 
usual. He shot at 39 birds before he got a single bird from No. 5 
trap. He had No. 5 irap aeain in the 48th round; he then shot at 42 
more birds before No. 5 trap was once more sprung for him. Thus 
out of ninety times that he went to the score and called "Pull" No 5 
came to him just twice. 
BUN'S AND LOADS. 
Elliott shot his Winchester repeating shotgun, Winchester factory- 
loaded ammuniiion. Leader shell, 4'?grs. E.G. powder, IMoz. of 714 
chilled. 
Fulford shot his new Greener, U. M. C. trap shells, with 50grs. 
Schulize and I140Z. of 7 chilled (his shells were loaded by himself*. 
In regard to Fulford's load it did not seem to us as if the load suited 
his gun; some of the patterns made by the shoe on the snow when 
the birds fell anywhere over 3:yds. from the score were frequently 
wild. 
Billy Mills and his brother did the traj^ping; that their wotk was 
done speedily is shown by the time taken to shoot the matdh. in re- 
gard to the referee's wori, it was all as it should have been. We pre- 
fer a refcee who makes a man shoot at another bird unless there is 
no question as toils being in the air at the time the shot was fired. 
Mr. Taylor may have seemed to be a little severe at times, but we 
think his decisions were eniirely just and proper; In short, his work 
was refreshing.

NEW tear's day At the kennel olto. 
Jan. 1. — The Westminster Kennel Club's annual shoot on New 
Year's Day has always been one of the shooting features in the vicin- 
ity of New York. To-day's shoot was probably the largest ever held 
on these grounds. There were -34 entries in the main event, a large 
number to handle on any grounds, but the Kennel Club is so well 
fixed in the matter of accommodation that, although the shooting 
house was a Uttle crowded, it was never uncomfortably so. The con- 
ditiqns of the main event were as follows: Unlimited number of birds, 
flO entrance, handicap rise from 26 to 3lyds.; 39yds. and back, miss- 
and-out; 27. and 28yds., two misses out; 26yd8, and forward, three

The shoot was an inVitation one, and invitations were extended to 
the members of the foUowing clubs: Westchester Country Cliib; 
Larchmont Yacht C^ub, Philadelphia Gun Club, Riverton Gun Cliib, 
Ca,rtexet, Tuxedo and Morristown Country Club. . . 
The result of the Shoot was a popular win for H. S. Edey at the 
end of the 24th rouhd. Mr; Edey lost bis l6th bird; and then had to 
shoot out on even terms with G.'S. McAlpin, one of the scratch men 
who is shooting just now in excellent forra.J: McAlpin ran 3-3 straight 
before he dropped one, arid lost the cup to Edey. The pijtrse was 
said to have been divided at the end of tbe 9th round, the five men 
left in each taking an ecjual portion. After the cup race^ a ihisg-ahd' 
out, $5 entrance, was shot. This event had 34 enti-ie?; the purse -Srag 
divided between George Worfe and R. Tolatid, both of whom killed 1)1 
straight. Col. Butler, who shot well up in the cUp race, stayed int the

at the Westminster Kennel Club's grounds, a second surprise was 
sprung on the local amateurs by the victory of Butler and Stafford 
in a team race against the cracks, Work and Knapp. 
The conditions of the race were: 10b birds per man; Work and 
Knapp at 30yds. ; Butler and Stafford at 28yds. Butler shot well all 
through the race and made the high score of the match-86. At no 
time was his work ragged, although he lost his 9Ist, 93d and 95th 
birds in rajjid succession at the finish of the match. At one time 
the non-fatorites led by 11 birdsi but the match was finally only won 
by two birds. Stafford's best work was done in the third string of 
25; after losing his 2gth and SOth birds, he pulled himself together 
and scored 19 straight. Work and Knapp were both out of all form, 
and neither could make more than 39 out of their first 50 birds. 
Knapp managed to score 44 out of his last .50, but 42 was the best 
Work could do. 
The double-figure runs were as follows: Butler 21 and 1 1, Stafford 
19 and 10, Knapp 19, 18 and 13, Work 14, 12, 12 and 11. The scores 
were:

lii private life one would be cohsidered egotistical, or perhaps a 
little daft; to exploit one's beautiful bohiei its trimmings and adolm- 
meats, its private suits and perfect lavatory and toilet accompani- 
ments, its handsome parlors and drawing-rooms, or the extjuislte 
completeness of its culinary department. Among the polite set such 
would inreed be thought vulgar, but with hotels or railwaj' irainSi 
which are public convem"ences, the restriction is quite removed. In 
tact, when one is to select a hotel or apartments for several hours' 
continued occupancy, sharp discrimination is not only excusable, 
but essential; and for this, reason the railways endeavor in their de- 
scriptive literature to furnish the opportunity for such discrimination.
