The annual meeting of the Brooklyn 0. 0. was held at 
the residence of Percy F. Hogan, No. 202 Jefferson street, 
on Dec, 8 There was a full and enthusiastic attendance. 
The reports of the officers and committees showed the ^nan-

the members and in good repair. The regatta committee 
reported the holding of five sailing, five paddling, four tan- 
dem paddling races and a combined sailing race during the 
season. F. L. Bunnell won the all-round record trophy 
cup and gold bar, R. J. Wilkin the second prize and silver 
bar, and James F Eastmond the third prize and bronze bar. 
F. L. Dunnell won the Budington sailing trophy twice and 
now holds it, and R J Wilkin the Rudd paddling trophy. 
The average number of starters was four in each race. The 
election of officers resulted in the selpction of the following: 
Com., M. V. Brokaw; Vice Com., M. M Davis (re-eleted); 
Purser, F. L. Dunnell; Meas., W. N. Stanley, and member 
of Board of Trustees, W. McK Miller, in place of R. J. Wd-

Cincinnati, O , Dec. 13,— The members of he Cincinnati Blfle Asso- 
ciation were out in force to-day. Captain Qindele spoiled one excel- 
lent chance for making 96 by putting in a 6 instead of a 10; this is but 
a sample of the ups and downs of ridemen when at the score. Condi- 
tions were: as usual: 200yds., oflf-hand, standard target, f-ring black.

The circuit of the Interstate Association for 1897 will probably be 
somewhat on these lines: Grand American Handicap in March, fol- 
lowed by target tournaments as below: Baltimorf , Md ; Richmond, 
Va.; Mobile, Ala.; Monroe, La.; New Haven. Conn.; Lewiston, Me,; 
MoDtpelier, Vt.; the eighth tournament being given, if possible, at 
some point in New Hampshire. Frocn the recommendation made to 
the manager by the Interstate Association's classification and tour- 
nament committee, it seems probable thatNasnvUle, Tenn., will be 
substituted for either Monroe, La., or Mobile, Ala. The Associatioa 
wanted to give a tournament at some point in New Hampshire last 
season, but no club came forward with a request for ibe Associ- 
ation's services. Is there any club in that State that wants it this 
year? Don't all speak at once. Write to ihe manager, timer E. 
Shaner, 122 Diamond Market, Pittsburg, Pa. 
It is the intention of the Interstate Association to make all events 
shot during the Grand American Handicap tournament high gun 
events. The Nitro Powder Ht ndicap, 15 live birds per man, wiU be a 
feature on the first day, as usual, but it will not be elates shooting, as 
in the past. The number of moneys, high guns too, will be gradu- 
ated according to tue number of entries, on a plan somewhat similar 
to that adopted for the Grand American Handicap. Tnis tournament 
is a shoot for shooters, and we are glad to see that the Interstate As- 
sociation is cutting away froin the old system of dividmg purses on 
the 50, 30 and 20 per cent, plan— a plan by which it was possible for a 
man to -'kill them all" and yet come out of the contest worse off 
than a friend who had dropped one or two birds. The programme 
for the Graad American Handicap vs eek of lb97 will be wtU wotth

Piatt Adams, of the New Utrecht Gun Club, and also of the Boiling 
Springs Gun Club, of Rutherford, N. J., is a hard man to handicap. 
His double win of the Class A badge ana the Hegemau medal at tbe 
New Utrecht, Gun Club's grounds this seas n shows that he is about 
on top in chat company. On Christmas Day at the Boiling Springs 
ground, with a handicap of 2 txira targets to shoot at. he succeeded 
in making his score one of 30 out of 32, scoring a highest possible. As 
a matter of fact, take him day in and day out, he is .just as near an 
85 per cent, man as you'll And anywhere round about. He has im- 
proved at least 10 per cent, during the past twelve months, and is a 
shinmg example of what pluck and perseverance will do when it 
comes to trap-shooting. 
The Brooklyn Eagle of Dec. 26 had the following item in regard to 
a proposed shoot at Bayport, L. X. : "At the pigeon shoot at the Bay- 
po't House yesterday afiernoou Bergh officers foroade the shooting 
of live birds. Tbe society notified INlr Harris some days ago and the 
officers were on hand to enforce the law. There was quite a discus- 
sion as to whether it was more ci uel to shoot live pigeons from tne 
trap than quail or other game m the fields. Tne sportsmen who 
came to tase part in the match had to content themselves with 
shooting at clay pigeons The live pigeon match will take place on 
New Year's Day under the auspices of the Sayvdle (Jlub, as it is un- 
derstood that this club is exempt from the lavif." 
The annual meeting of the New Utrecht Gun Club, of Brooklyn, N. 
Y' , was held on Wednesday evening, DdC. 2ij, in the rooms of the 
Fountam Gun Club, 361 Flatbush avenue, Brooklyn. About twenty 
members were on hand to take part In the procetdings, tbe most in- 
teresting portion thereof being the discussion as to the club's tuture 
trap shooting home. It was decided, after considerable discussion, 
that a committee of three, appointed by the chair, should select a 
suitable piece of property and report baci£ to the cluo. For the 
present the club's live-bird shoots will be held semi monthly on tbe 
Dexter Park grounds. The offlcars elected to serve during 1897 were: 
President, Cornelius Furgueson; Vice-President, Adrian A, liege- 
man; Secretary-Treasurer, Dr. George E Pool. 
Dr. Carver caused John L. Winston some trouble during the past 
week, wmning four 50 bird races from him with consummate ease. 
-Two were shot on Monday, Dee. 21, the scores, as giveo m our Is- 
sue of Dec. 2B, being: Carver 4(5, Winston 44, and Carver 48, Wiuston 
41. Two more were shot on Tuesday, Dec. 22, the scores bsing large- 
ly in favor of Carver: No. 1 was Carver 45, Winston 39, No. 2, Carver 
45, Winston 38. Tbe birds on this occasion are said to have been 
very fast, with some wind to aid them. There must, bawever, have 
been something else that troubled Winston, because '-147" is a bet- 
ter man than 77 per cent, on any class of birds. The fact that he ac- 
counted for 77 out of the 100 is probably some consolation to the gen- 
tleman who has such faith in the mystic figure 7. 
"Saving his Scalp" is the title given to the picture that adorns the 
calendar for 1897 issued by tbe Union MetaJhc Cartridge Co., of 
Biidgeport, Conn. Tne scene depicted by the artist is a stirring one, 
representing a ride for life and scalp on tne part of a scout, with In- 
dians in pursuit. One of the redskins, wno has just topped the hill , 
is drawing a bead on the fleeing horseman, who is coming toward us 
at a great rate. It is unfair to leave us in doubt as to whether that 
Indian's bullet did its wori or whether the scalp was saved. As a 
hint to the U. M. C. Co., let us suggest that this picture be marked 
"To be continued in our next," tue sequel being given next year. 
We want to know what happened. 
The sporting reporters attached to the Buffalo, N. Y., dailies are 
striking examples of the truth (in their case, at least) of "Wick's" 
(tne late W. F. Limber, of Cincinnati) statement, that ' the pen is 
mightier than the gun." (Ed Taylor's always quoting this at us, so 
we know that Wick said it.i Six reporters are said to have entered in 
aiO-birdrace at Audubon Park Mason, of the Courier, was /aciie 
princeps with 6 out of 10. Far behind hini came Brooks, who is given 
as ••unattached," with a out of 10. The other four were bunched at the 
finish with a row of goose eggs, Hasbrouck's nose ,iust showing 
in front ot the others by virtue of a "dead out of bounds" on his 6th 
bira. 
Jim Elliott is getting acclimated to the air of Long Island and Dex- 
ter Park prior to his match with Hulford, Dec. 3i. Jim's present ad- 
dress, one that will find him as readily as •'Care of W. R. A. Uo., 3i2 
Broadway, N. Y.," is Dexter Park, Jamaica avenue, Brooklyn. N. Y. 
By 1 p. m,, Thursday, Dec. 31, the hour at which the matcti begins, 
he will not only have learned the grounds thoroughly, but wih also 
have something like a speaking acquaintance with every bird that 
will be trapped. There is eveiy bkeiihood that he will abuss that 
friendship shamefully. 
Charlie Grimm now wears the "cast iron cnampionship medal," 
and we know no one vvLo can wear that medal with more honor or 
with more becoming humility. He has won it fairly and in a great 
fignt, the scores at the end of the 100th round standing: Grimm 98, 
Carver 86. Our Chicago correspondent can speak witn authority as 
to the quality af the birds, but it must be remembered that 98 and 96 
on any class of birds is true Cnampionship form. Carver, though de- 
feated, is by no means disgraced. 
Fred G Moore, of this city, is shooting in something like his old 
form. On Uhristmas Day, at the grounds of the UouutryClub, of 
Westchester, N. Y., he made some good runs Besides winning a 
cup with 13 straight, he aivided 8 out ot the lO miss-and-outs shot 
during the day, scoring at one time 33 straight in those events, and 
dividing in consdquence 5 consecudve miss and outs. 
A. W. du Bray writes us from Dallas, Tex., that Parker guns won 
first place in tne hve-bird events each day of the Norto 'lexasGun 
Club League's tournament. We understand also (but nor from Du 
Bray) that Parker Bros.' representative carried oQ the honors in the 
badger baiting contests at Waxahai hie, Tex , on ihe same dates. 
The New Year's attraction at Elkwood Park, N.J., will be Ihe 
Shrewsbury Handicap, 10 live birds, $10 entrance and 510 added by 
the management, 6 entries to flil. It lO enliies, three high guns; less 
than 10 entries, two high gims. Sweepstake sbootmg will also be 
run to suit shooters. 
We learn from Secretary Rpeser, of the Oil City, Pa., Gun Olub, 
that Etmer E. Sti^^^.er, manager of the Interitate Association, will 
manage the Stat© sfao.'! for the Oil City Gun Olub, June 2-2-23. 
We extract the foUowing paragraph from a personal letter written 
to us by Mr. J. A. H. Dresael, secretary-treasurer of the Sportsmen's 
Association: "It will undoubtedly interest you to know that on or 
before .Jan. 1 next the Association will take possession of its newly 
equipped and roomy headquarters in the new Williams Building, 
8(7-379 Broadway, where it will be pleased to receive its members and 
friends; that nearly every State in the Union is now represented in 
the membership roll, which is being increased by from .six to ten ap- 
plications daily; and that the third annual exposition, to be held at 
Madison Square Garden in Marcb next, promises to be the most suc- 
cessful yet held by the Association.*' 
Gus Nowak, a prominent member of the Zettler Rifle Club, of New 
York city, and also a member of the Emerald Gun Club, has added to 
his trophy exhibit by taking the first prize for the season of 1896 in 
the monthly competitions of the Hell Gate Gun Club, of which club 
he is also a member. Tbe secretary, Eugene Doeinck, gave him a 
good race for first honors, but failed to score more than t5 birds in the 
last shoot, three others falling dead out of bounds. 
Christmas Day in this vicinity was just the kind of a Christmas Day 
that is more generally met with in novels than in real life. There 
was a brisk feeling about the au-, without an.v wind to speak of, thus 
making it Ideal weather for a winter trap-shooting entertainment. 
The many .shoots held by local clubs in the vicinity of New Y^ork were 
all well attended. Nothing could be complained of except the glare 
of the bright sun on the snow that made it diffl"uU to keep one's eyes 
from watering when the word "Pull" was given. 
We have not seen the name of W. G Clark attached to a score for 
a long time. Mr. Clark is located at Elwood Ci*y, Pa., and is attend- 
ing to his hotel business. We have an idea, however, that the score 
attributed to one named Boker in the shoot on the Herron Uill 
grounds. Dec. 16. is one with which Clark had something to do. A 
match between W. S. King, of Pittsburg, Pa., and Clark was to have 
been shot Dec. 23. Owing to sickness in his family Clark was unable 
to be present, so the match was postponed. 
The Winchester Repeating Arms Company, of New Haven, Conn , 
■has gotten out one of its u.^ual attractive calendars. A. E. Frost has 
been requisitioned for the hunting scenes depicted thereon. In "A 
Chance Shot" he shows us one of those things that generally occur 
"when you haven't got a gun," This time, however, is one of the 
exceptions, and the curiosity of the antelope is likely to be fatal. 
The drawing of the horse and the attitude of the hunter are capital. 
The classification and tournament committee of the Interstate As- 
sociation will not visit Dwyer's track at Elizabeth or Elkwood Park 
until some day next week. The original intention was to inspect both 
places to-day (Dec. 29); the committee, however, could not get to- 
gether owing to various business arrangements. 
Harvey McMurchy is in town. It's not necessary to mention that 
Harvey represents the Hunter Arms Company, and that therefore he 
is to be found .just now in W. Fred Quimby's quarters at 3i)U Broad- 
way. Harvey is only here on a briei visit, but hopes to be able to 
stop long enough to witness the Blliott-Fulford match on Thursday. 
He will be on view at San Antonio, Tex,, Jan, 25-29. 
Old Hoss has achieved the distinction of being the first entry regu- 
larly made for the Grand American Handicap. On Monday morning, 
Dec. 28, the sum of $10 was paid to .1. L, Lequin, secretary of tlie 
Interstate Association, as forfeit money for the above entry, the name 
of 0. M. Hostetter, of Pittsbui^g, fa., being placed at the head of a 
column that will soon rapidly fill with other names. 
Jim Elliott and E D. Fulford meet at Dexter Park, L. I., on Thurs- 
day of this week, Dec. :31, to shoot for the Kansas City Star's cup at 
100 birds per man. Fulford will use the Greener which he bandied so 
well at irenton on Dec, 3, while Elliott will show the boys that he is 
not very seriously handicapped by shooting a Winchester repeating 
shotgun. 
The Kewanee, 111., Gun Glub^olds a two days' shoot on its grounds 
Dec. 26-30, The programme states: "Nothing barred but black pow- 
der." On the first day the main event will be a 4-men team race, a 
2 men team race taking place on the second day. 
Charlie Zwirlein, of Yardville, N. J,, writes that he will hold a live- 
bird shoot Jan. 6 at his grounds. Tbe main event will be 20 birds, $15, 
birds included at 25 cents each, three moneys. 
As will be noted, the dates for thf Texas Midwinter shoot have been 
changed to Jan. a5-29. The dates tor the Hot Spr.ngs. Ark., tourna- 
ment have also been changed to Feb. 8-.0. 
The Texas State Sportsmen's Association will be held at San An-

In consequence of the change of dates at San Antonio, the Limited 
Gun CluD, of Indianapolis, Ind., has changed its dates to Jan. 2J-21.

HEREON HILL GUN CLDB. ' 
Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 23 —Though somewhat late in the day, tho 
fnllowmg scores made by members of tbe Herron Hill Gun Club of 
this city, on December 16 will be of interest. No, 1 was a 25.bird race 
handicap ri'^e, S20 entrance; No. 2 was at 10 birds, $10, The PittsI 
burg Leader of Dec. 17, in speaking of the contest in No. i event 
says: ' ' 
"The Herron Hill Gun Club shooters enjoyed some magnificent 
sport at the shoot pulled off yesterday at their grounds on Davis 
Island. The shoot in question was the second in a series of five at 25 
live birds. Four hundred of the best birds ever trapped in this 
vicinity were used in yesterday's shoot and every man in the contest 
shot to win. In addition to having the best of birds yesterday the 
clear, cold weather made an Ideal day for trap shooting. Will King 
and McPher;on took first money with birds killed. T. D. Floivers 
was referee of the match. C, A. May looked hke a winner from the 
start. He brought down 17 birds m succession, the best run of the 
oay. After tne tenth round there were five new men with a clean 
score. They w^ere May, MePherson, Alex. King, Will King and Al 
Hofmeister Alex, King and Hofmeister missed their thirteenth 
birds and McPherson his fourteenth. This left Will King and May 
in the lead. King missed his sixteenth bird and May bad the lead all 
to himself. King's bird fell dead out of bounds, and, by the way 
this was the only bird he missed all day. May, by missing his eight- 
eenth bird, which also fell dead out of bounds, dropped back in line 
with the King brothers, Messner and McPherson tor the lead, with 
one miss apiece, Bofmeister having missed three birds. It was nip 
and tuck now to the finish between the five shooters. Messner was 
the first to drop behind, missing his nineteenth oird Alex. King 
missed nis twenty first, and the race tor first place lay between May 
McPber.'^on and Will King; They shot carefully and ran neck and 
neck to the finish. May missed his last bird, and Will King and Mc- 
Pherson ran out their string without a further miss. I hey divided 
first money, amounting to $77. May and Messner divided second 
money, $.=.7-75, Third money, $38,50, was divided among Jacque, 
Alex. King and Bonn. Fourth money, $19.25, was taken hy Farmer
