IN NEW JERSEY. 
OPENING DAY AT ELKVOOD PARK:. 
Jan. Sli— The Inaugural shoot at the Elkwood Park new erounds 
took place to-day in bright, blustery weather. It was Just the 
weather to make the shooting hard, the northwest wind drivinjEr the 
birds away from the traps whether they wanted to go or not. Late 
yesterday afternoon it commenced to snow, but during the niffhi the 
snow turned to rain, a perfect deluge of water falling in the early 
hom-s of the morning. The effects of the heavy rain were no cause 
of worry to the management at Elkwood Park, except in the matter 
of transportation from the Branchport crossing to the groimds; and 
yet that was both easy and cheap— stages at 10 cents a head being 
provided in numbers ample enougti to meet aU demaods. 
Once at the grounds, it was as pleasant inside the big club house as 
one could possibly wish. The building was warmed both naturally 
and artificially, the sun's rays and the heat from the stoves being 
almost more than enough to make it comfortable. Upstairs was the 
caf 6 and restaurant, all four sides of it glass. Seated at the tables on 
the southern side of cafe, it was possible to eat one's dinner and also 
watch the shooting at the No. 3 set of traps. Downstairs only the 
left wing was used as a depository for shooters' coats, guns, satchels, 
etc., the belongings of the eighteen or twenty shooters present 
scarcely making a show owing to the ample accommodation pro- 
vided. 
Only two sets of traps were used, the number of those who wanted 
to sheot being insuificient to warrant the use of more. Different 
events were shot off at the same time on Nos. 1 and 2 set of traps, 
and in some instances the shooters entered in both events; yet so 
near together are the scores of the two sets of traps, owing to the 
"clover-leaf" formalion of the three sets, that little or no delay was 
cau-sed by permitting entrance in both events. There was no delay 
in trapping birds, the underground system in use at Elkwood Park 
being more than equal to the occasion. This feature of these grounds 
te worth more than passing mention on this occasion, and it is an ab- 
solute fact that no shooting at all could have taken place ou the 
Elkwood Park grounds to-day had the old conditions of trapping 
been in use; being all "made ground" of a light, sandy-loam nature, 
and saturated by the downpour of the previous twelve hours, it was 
considerably more than "bock-deep" when one got off the board- 
walks. 
THE ATTENDANCE A DISAPPOINTMKNT. 
The attendance was a disappomtment to us. We had looked for 
a far more repreaentative gathering than we found at Elkwood Park 
on our arrival. Philadelphia and the Riverton Gun Club easily car- 
off the honors, both in point of numbers and in shooting. Among 
those from Philadelphia were: E. A. Welch Cwinner of the first Grand 
American Handicaps, T. S. Stokes, Junius H. Davis, C. H. Edwards, 
Leonard Finletter and Count Gustav Langen. New York was repre- 
sented by Noel E. Money, of the American E. 0. Powder Co. ; Jiistus 
von Lengerke, of the firm of Von Lengerke & Detmold (tJ. S. agents 
for Schultze); G. S. McAlpin, of Carteret; D. Bradley, of the Larch- 
montT. C. and New York Athletic Club. Other shooters were: T. 
W. Morfey, of Paterson, N. J. : W. R. Patten and Woolley, of Pleas- 
ure Bay, N. J.; A. L. Ivins, of Seabright, N. J. ; Dr. ,7. G. Knowlton, 
of New YorR. city, etc. Among the spectators were: Marshall Her- 
rington. of the Laflin & Rand (W-A) Powder Co.; Aaron Woodruff, 
Hank VVbite, "Uncle Billy" Hughes, etc. Fully a couple of hundred 
spectators, including several ladies, were present during the day. 
The birds were a good lot, leaving the traps very quickly and being 
led very much by the strong wind that blew over the grounds, 
njrng out of the northwest, it made a nearly straightaway wind on 
f ile No. 1 set of traps, the set facing toward the Inn. On the traps 
that faced south, the No. 2 set of traps, it was a strong left quarter- 
mpr wind that swept the birds off to leeward at a rate of speed that 
ij.iflled nearly all calculations. Many a bird that struggled up wind 
escaped through errors made in calculathig the "drift" of the shot 
in such a strong breeze. The difference between the two sets of traps 
'ivas remarkable. On the No. 1 set birds went down wind very fast, but 
did not twist to any great extent. Many birds also quartered and 
fought up against the wind toward the club house, affording the easi- 
est "of marks. Occasionally a screamer would leave the traps, and 
then there was generally trouble. On No. 2 set it was different; birds 
junqjed into the air, twisted and turned down wind in a style that 
baffled all of the shooters; it was just about as hard shooting as any 
5ve have ever seen. 
THE PATTEN COP. 
The principal event on the programme was the competition for the 
Fatten cup, a valuable trophy presented by Mr. W. R. Patten, of 
rieasure Bay. This contest was at 2.5 birds, fB25 entrance, handicap, 
' iids extra, "and was open only to members of the Hollywood, Phila- 
Iphia, Riverton and Carteret gun clubs; and to members of 
] ixedo, Westchester Country Club, Westminster Kennel Club and 
Uirchmont Yacht Club. Only eight entries were obtained for the 
^-vent, and six of these hailed from Philadelphia, New Y^ork's only 
r * -resentatives being D. Bradley and G. S. McAlpin, Harold B. Wal- 
L !c acted as referee. 
McAlpin lost a good bird in the first round, the pigeon going down 
lid and getting over the boundary before coming to the ground, 
adley and Finletter both lost birds in the next round, f inletter's 
■ ; ing as hard a bird as left the traps during the day; it was a dark 
I J lie that sneaked out of No. 5 trap before it was half open and then 
si reaked away for the boundary, never leavmg the ground more than 
a foot. In the third round Count Langen, of the Riverton Gun Club, 
scored a lost bird, Mr. Edwards of the same club losing a very hard bird 
in the fourth round , Mr. Davis drew a good one in the fifth that beat 
him out, although he scored many a harder bird afterward. Thus 
at the end of the fifth round only two men, Stokes and Welch, were 
straight. Stokes lost a fair bird in the nest round. McAlpin and 
Bradley both drawing very hot ones and scoring ciphers. Tnis lef t 
W(3lch 'in first place, a position he never relmquished, running out 
with 25 straight, a score that, altbough not unmarked by 
luck in the draw of the birds, was one that any one could feel proud 
of, as the list of 2,5 kills included some excellent pieces of work with 
the gun on very fast birds. Mr. Welch was placed 1yd. in by the 
handicappers, receiving a yard the best of it from Stokes, McAlpin, 
Davis and Finletter. We suppose his handicap was figured on the 
basis of the shooting he has been doing of late, viz., practically noth- 
at all, as he has not been doing much shooting for a couple of 
years. On that basis we think the handicappers were by no means 
at fault, notwithstanding his record of to-day. Welch on his day is a 
retnarkably dangerous man for anybody to meet, and to day was his 
day. He was favored in the di aw of the birds perhaps, but he used 
Ids first barrel with the precision and quickness that marked his 
efforts in past years; many a screamer was cut down before it had 
more than gotten under way, and again many a bird that had 
jumped into the air and twisted off to the east (down wind) was een- 
teied with the first barrel with wonderful quickness. His "ready" 
a lid "pull" were given with his old-time vigor. 
Co return to the Patten cup contest: Edwards retired in the 15th 
round with 10 kfils to his name; McAlpin followed suit in the 18th 
with 13 kills, Davis also dropping by the wayside with 15 out of £0. 
.-Stokes withdrew in the a4th round with 19 kills, leaving Welch with 
a straight score, and Finletter with no misses, and Bradley and 
Count with 4 misses each. This quartette scored thefr 25 birds and 
II led with !i5, 28, 21 and 21 respectively. The conditions of the cup 
V !re: 50 per cent, to first and eup; 30 per cent, to second and 20 per 
■I at. to third high guns. Welch and Finletter took tneir respective 
portions, Bradley and Count dividing thu'd money. 
Before leaving the record of the Patten cup, mention must be made 
Bradley's <J2d bird; it was a good hot one that was knocked to the 
fi oundandwas apparently a certain dead bu'd for him; when the 
Jug- got to it it rose and fiew back over the boundary, fallmg dead just 
jutside. Welch's 34th bird nearly spofied his siraighc score, as it 
:vtiat off to the boundary and fell ]ust against the low wire fence that 
xiarks the 50yds. boundary.

OTHER EVENTS. 
Several miss and-out?, $5 entrance, and three other sweepstakes 
ffere shot, the latter being: lO birds, SlO; 5 birds, $5; and 15 birds, $16 , 
iU at aOyds. 
The last-named'event wag shot on No, 8 set'of traps,'the>epresenti 
ative of Forest and Stream acting as referee on this set. This event 
was almost the last for the day, and was finished with the sun about 
three-quarters of an hour high. The birds were a really excellent lot 
of flyers, and were directly responsible for the comparatively low 
scores made. 
THE IS-BIED BAOE. 
Morfey went to the score first and drew a hot one that fairly beat 
him out; Count lost one in the first round also. Count, Davis and 
Woolley also lost their birds in the second round, Woolley's being a 
piece of extremely hard luck, the wind fairly carrying his dead bird 
just over the boundary fence into the cornfield. Edwards lost his 
Sd bird dead out of boiinds, Woolley, Stokes and Morfey all drawing 
very fast birds in this round. Welch. Stokes and Finletter broke 
their straight scores in the 4th round. Finletter having a good bard 
bird to kill. Welch's loss was the result of a piece of carelessness on 
the part of the shooter: he simply paralyzed a swift white bird from 
No. S trap that went down wind to the left, knocking it all in a heap 
just to the left of No. 2 trap, where it lay on its back, its head doubled 
up under it. Welch thought that one barrel was enough, although 
the bird was trying to turn over, so opened his eun and left the 
score. When the retriever got to the bird, the pigeon managed to 
get into the air and flew over the boundary before dropping to the 
ground, where it was gathered; the judicious placing of a second 
barrel on this bird might have landed Welch closer to first place. 
Count and Stokes lost birds in the 5th round. Patten being the only 
man left with a straight score at this point of the game. 
Patten spoiled his score in the next round ffith) by having a fast 
lef t-quarterer drop dead out of bounds. Woollev scored a miss in 
this round on an easy bird, shooting behind it with both barrels. In 
the 7th round Count lost another bird and retired ; Stokes drew a 
good one and made a great stop on it. In the next round Davis and 
Morfey lost birds, Morfey's miss being one of those unaccountable 
pieces of shooting one often sees— but not when Morfey is at the bat. 
The bird was a left-quartering incomer and fairly sat in the air wbile 
Morfey plunked both loads at it; as soon as the second shell had been 
discharged the bird concluded it had had enough and turned off down 
wind without a feather injured. It was one of the luckiest pigeons 
we have been made acquainted with. 
The 9tb round was an interesting one, five out of the eight men stiU 
in the race losing their birds. To make up for this piece of work, the 
next 11 birds were scored dead, and then Stokes lost his llth, a fast 
one that was too good for the shooter. Davis lost his llth bird and 
Edwards scored a miss on a fast circUng incomer to the right in the 
12th round. In the lath round Welch and Woolley each lost a bird 
dead out of bounfls, Welch's being an extremely hard bird to kill, as 
it fled for the boundary. Davis and Fioletter scored losses in the 14th 
round, Finletter's bird falling dead out of bounds. In the last round 
Welch lost a driver that put him in second place; Edwards also lost a 
driver, thus shooting himself into the 11 hole and out of the money; 
Davis also drew another screamer and made his second consecutive 
cipher. 
The conditions were: Three high gims, 50, 30 and 20 per cent. Thus 
Morfey and Patten divided first and second moneys with 13 each, 
while third money was divided between Welch, Stokes and Finletter. 
The scores in this event were:

E. C. CTJP At. HACKENSACK. 
Jan. 23.— Tne cup presented to the Bergen County Gun Club by the 
American E. C. Powder Co. was contested tor to-day for the third 
time on the grounds of the club, near the depot of the New York, 
Susquehanna & Western R. R. The day was unfavorable for target 
shootmg, as a galf. from the northwest swept across the Hackensack 
meadows and played all sorts of tncks with the targets. In the cup 
race Noel Money shot like his old self, and carried oft' the cup with 
the good score of 48 out of 59. Mortey also made a rattling good 
score under the conditions, running 94 out of his first 95 ana SO out 
of the second string. Money. Morfey and Brocket, the latter a be- 
ginner of promise, were the only ones to shoot out their handicap 
allowances, as no one else bad any show against Money's total. The 
totals made in this race give some idea of the conditions underwhich 
the event was shot, Edwards, the scratch man, made a poor show- 
ing in this event, scoring 34 out of 50. The Bergen County boys 
made things very comfortable for their members and guests, and 
"setup" the lunches in a very pleasant manner. If everybody did 
not get enough shooting it was his own fault, as the trans were kept 
busy all the time from 11 until dark. The club will hold a handicap 
target race, 100 targets, unknown angles, on Feb. 12. Scores in the 
cup race were :
