EMERALD SUN CLUB. 
Jan. 19 —The Emerald Gun Club's monthly shoot was well attended, 
as usual, twenty-eight members taking part in the club shoot, three 
guests maldngr the number that faced the traps at Dexter Park this 
afternoon total thirty-one in all. There was just enouarh wind to 
mske the birds a fairly st'on? lot of fleers, and in eonspquence only 
two of the thirty-one, E. J. Clark and Gus Nowak, were able to make 
straight scores. Among the twenty-eight members of the club were 
two new ones, J. S. S. Remsen and H. F. Burns Reitosen was shoot- 
ing a new gun, and found that it suited him very well, as he scored 
in cractice and in the main eveat just 31 out of 3=. 
The monthly gatherings of the Emerald Gun Club are always most 
enjoyable, while, the friendly rivalry among the members makes each 
shot of interest. Although our score does not show the number of 
birds that fell dead out of hounds, it should be noticed that Charlie 
Dudley's straight was spoiled in the 8th round by a bird that barely 
got across the boundary. Tom Lawis (an assumed name, by the way) 
Khot about five different guns, and his score by no means represents 
his real capabilities. 
The full score in the club shoot is given below, the manner of 
handicapping the members by both distance and by points being 
shown. (N. B.— Each shooter must score more birds than shown 
by his handicap points before adding anything to his record for the 
yearly prlaes):

AUDUBON GUN CLUB. 
Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 18.— The regular weekly shoot of the Audubon 
Gun Club, of this ci y. was held at Audubon Park on Saturday. The 
attendance was poor compared to what usually greets these weekly 
^atberiQgs, but the quality of the shooting was decidedly good. Nos. 
3 and 4 were the club shoot and the Gold Dus' p^^wder events respec- 
tively. In respect to the latter event the Buffalo Courier has this to 
say in its issue of the 17th inst. : "As was expected, the special Gold 
Dust powder shoot was the event of the day. and it; was verv hotly 
conteoted. Although the prize was won by the donors, Burkhardt 
Brothers, they kindly afiowed the second best men, of which there 
were five, to shoot for its possession. Among them wa*; one who not 
very long ago won the beautiful W. & A. silver powder fla^k. and he 
vowed that he would win this one also. In the shoot-ofl'. which was 
a mi=s-and-out affair, it took only four rounds to decide that the Gold 
Dust belonged to the same man who made good his vow, Mr. Leonard 
Bennett. President Reid made the presentation speech in a few well- 
cbo.sen remarks for the occasion, ai:ter which Mr. Bennett who had 
been anxious to see his prize, opeiied the package and found not 
powder for shooting purposes, but in its stead a well-known brand of 
washing powder. Everybody now has the laugh on Mr. B mD<»it, lout 
he has threatened to eet even with some one, particula'^ly Grorgie 
McArthur, whose fertile brain hatched the scheme. The flass A 
badge fell to the lot of Charles Buriihardt wirh a straight score, Thi-t 
makes his fourth claim. Edward Reinecke was again successful as 
la«t week and won the Class B badge for the second time. Alderman 
George Zoeller was again the winner in Class C,"

The day was warm and pleasant. But there was no breez", and the

caliber of both shooters? and by the big scores that have lately been 
made by both men, brought out a large attendance of spectators. 
Mr. Irby Brnnett, of the W. R. A. Co., looked after Elliott, the same 
office being perforaied for Mr. Gay by Mr H. J. Lyons. The referee 
was Mr. Geo C. Beck, of ladiamipolis, lad ; offlcial scorer, John

Are Elkwood Park's Traps an Infringement? 
We have received from Mr. Robert S. Elliott, of the firm of E. S 
Elliott & Co., of Kansas City, Mo., a copy of a letter sent to Mr. Phil 
Daly, Jr., by BIr. Elliott 'a attorneys. The letter, which fully explains 
the circumstances under which it "was sent, is as follows: 
Kansas City. Mo., Jan. 15.— 3fr. Phil Daly, Jr., Branchpori, N J ; 
We are credibly informed that you are using in your profession a 
sportsman's iive-bird trap, with an opening in the bottom of the trap 
adapted to insert a bird through said bottom into the trap; and fur 
ther, we are aware that you have formerly been using the trap 
known as the Mott trap, patented Aug. 6, 1895, to Jordan L. Mott, Jr , 
No. 544,186; and to add practicability and. make this trap more expe- 
ditious you, or other persons with whom you are interested, have 
cut an opening in the bottom of this trap, through which the bird 
can be introduced by the feeder secreting himself in a pit in the 
ground or otherwise, from the bottom. 
This trap, as you are using it, is a direct infringement upon an in- 
vention for the same purpose by Robert S. Elliott, of this city, for 
which he now has an application pending in the U. S. Patent Office 
for patent, and which is readj^ for official allowance and will be so 
officially allowed when it receives the next official action by the de- 
partment; and we will now call upon you, by authority vested in us 
by Mr. Elliott, to desist at once from the use of any live-bird trap by 
which the bird 13 inserted through the bottom into the trap; and if 
you failto comply with this notice the law in such cases will be put 
in full force against you, and you will be held strictly to account for 
all of the traps that you have been using with the said opening in the 
bottom of the trap. 
Hoping that you will comply at once with the spirit of this notice, 
we are, youis very respectfully, Higdon & Hiqdon. 
McAlpin Defeats Duryea. 
New Yobk, Jan. 32.— G. S McAlpiu and L. T. Duryea shot a match 
to-day on the grounds of the Larchmont Y. C-, and McAlpin won 
from Duryea by 3 bhds, the scor;>s standing 91-88. These scores were, 
really ex-jellent ones and both men did great work, as the birds "^ere 
a fast lot, with a strong wind to help them out of bounds. The con- 
ditions were: 100 live birds, 30yds. rise. 31yds. boundary. The short 
boundary was answerable for several ciphers, as each man had 
birds scored dead out of bounds that would otherwise have b'^en 
called "good birds." McAlpin lost 6 birds dead out; Duryea lost 8 
from the same cause; these figures show that they didn't miss many. 
A number of spectators were present, among them Roll Organ and 
W. P. Mussey, of Chicago. Others were: W. C. F. Jones. E^ Eddv 
G. Magoun, Dr. W. Wynn, W. E Durvea, Wm. Stewart, Dr. Knowl- 
ton, F. W. Duryea, D. I. Bradley, O. Adams, etc. 
In the two first strings of 35 birds McAloin gained on Duryea. scor- 
ing 84 to 32 and 20 to 19: in the 3d .string Duryea gained rapidly, and 
at the 69th round McAlpin was only 1 ahead of him. Then McAlpin 
lost his 69th and Duryea had to score to tie; he foiled, his bird falling 
dead out of bounds. From this point McAlpin ran out straight with 
.31 unfinished, but Duryea lost 8 bu-ds, his 89th (dead out) and his S.3d 
Double-figure runs were: McAlpin 31, 24 and 17; Duryea 80, 19, 12 and 
11. Scores:

At Fair mount Springs. 
Benton, Pa., Jan. 16.— We were treated to-day to as interesting a 
match as was ever shot at Fairmount Springs, Pa., when EU R&'^s 
and Dr. Bonham, the two Fairmount cracks, met before the trap oa 
Smith's old grounds to settle a difference of opinion. The conditions 
were $?5 a side, 25 bluerocks per man. thrown from one expert trap 
at unknown angles. The event was verv close all through, and after 
the lOrh roucd it was anybody's, until Hess failed to connect with his 
81sc bird, a sharp left-quarterer; this left Bonham 1 in the lead a 
position he maintained to the finish. They are expected to meet 
again next week. F^ llowing is the score:
