IN NEW JERSET. 
SECOND OUP SHOOT AT HA0KEN8AOK.. 
\Fe6. Jo.— An entry list of 16 in a lOO-target scratch race Is some- 
thing for the Bergen County Gun Club to be proud of. The second 
contest for the Recreation cup, emblematic of the amateur cham- 
pionship of the gun clubs of New Jersey, took place to-day on the 
grounds of the above club, 16 men entering for the race This club 
may be young in years and experience, but it does nothing by 
halves, and as a result of its work it can look back to to-day's con- 
test as its banner shoo'' to date. There was only one thing lacking 
to-day to make the m nagement of the shoot all one could ask, and 
that was an insufficiency of help E. G. Horton is a man who has 
only the normal (quantity of limbs, and it is hardly fair to expect 
him to do everything, even to carving the turkey, spreading bread 
and butter, pouring out coffee, taking entries for new events and 
squaring up old ones. The club shoiud not ride a willing horse to 
death. (This is written and will appear without Mr. Horton being 
aware of it. We might add that he never uttered a single kick aU 
day) The referee was as usual, C. E. Dawson, and had his good 
eye with him. The puller and the trapper boys all worked hard and 
did a great deal to make the shoot an easy one to run. There was a 
slight rumbling of a mutinous nature when empty stomachs grew 
numerous behind the trap screen. A brief rest and some solid re- 
freshments soon made the sky bright again. Apropos of the turKey, 
it is only right to mention that the club "set up'' an excellent lunch 
free of all charge, making the shooters its guests In deed as well as in 
name. 
Among the shooters were F S. Sinnock, the winner, from the For- 
ester Gun Club, Newark; Neaf Apgar, of the Climax Gun Club, Plain- 
field : Harry Thurman, of Philadelphia, Pa., Fhooting as a member of 
the Climax Gun Club; J. S. S. Bemsen, the winner of the cup at the 
first shoot in December last, a member of the Bergen County Club ; 
Noel E. Money, of the American E. C. Powder Company; T. w. Mor- 
fey and Chris Wright, of Paterson : Job Lott, of New York - the last 
four being also members of the Bergen County Gun Club; F. S. Ed- 
wards, of New York; Ed Taylor, of the Laflin & Rand Powder Com- 
pany; M. Heri-lngton, of the W-A Powder; G. H. Piercy, of Jersey 
City: the last four are members of the Endeavor Gun Club. Theo- 
dore Baron, representing Von Lengerke & Detmold, and a member of 
the Boiling Springs Gun Club; J. G. Lindzev, of the Dunellen Gun 
Club; C. F. Lenone, of the Passaic City Gun Club; J. E. Banta, of the 
Oritani Field Club; Hexamer, a shooter whose club's name we can- 
not recall. The above list makes a formidable one even for New 
Jersey. Gus Greiff, W. H. Huck, Dutchy Smith, Tom Brantingham, 
Warren Smith, etc., were absentees. 
Sinnock, the winner, shot an excellent race and landed in the lead 
by one target, though it looked as if Apgar should have won the cup 
hands down. Sinnock shot a Winchester repeating shotgun. Leader 
shells and W-A powder. His victory, therefore, was gratifying to Ed 
Taylor and Marshall Herrington. Neaf Apgar, of course, shot Austin 
powder and a Smith gun. Harry Thurman shot Noel Money's gun 
and Au tin powder, as he came to the grounds totally unprepared to 
take part in the contest. Edwards shot a Winchester and E. C. pow- 
der in U. M. C. factory, loaded Smokeless shells The score, as fur- 
nished us, shows a 25 straight for Sinnock in the last string; this is 
an error, as he lost his first target. The only 25 straight was made 
by Apgar in his third string. The score book also shows Edwards's 
total carried out, ?3 for his last string, while the detailed score gives 
him three misses: his totalis thus 91, if the score is correct (and 
the detailed oflBcial score goes in this case, of course). Remsen broke 
badly in his first and last strings, but scored 47 out of his middle 50. 
The conditions were 100 targets per man, $i entrance, optional 
sweeps of 50 cents on each 35. The 100 targets were thrown 50 knowu 
and 50 unknown angles, the known angles being shot first. Banta 
arrived late and only shot 50 targets at unknown angles. The win- 
ner of the race scored a win for the cup, the second receiving $5 and 
the third man saving his stake. The cup is to be shot for five more 
times, the shoots taking place in the months of April, June, August, 
October and December. The man winning it the greatest number of 
times to become the owner of it. The scores are higher than at the 
first shoot for the cup, Remsen winning then with 8-'. But the targets 
were thrown much harder on that occasion than they were to-day. 
Though the sky was clouded, there was no wind to play tricks with 
the targets, everything being in favor of good scores. The back- 
ground is by no means an easy one, targets thrown low and to the 
right being hard to gauge accurately. Scores in detail were:

were also shot off. Apgar followed up his good work in the long race 
by scoring 67 out of 60 in three 20-target races. Scores were as he- 
low, twenty-seven shooters taking part in the day's sport:

BERGEN COUNTY GUN CLDB. 
Feb. /2.— Lincoln's Birthday, Feb. 12, was pitched upon by the Ber- 
gen County Guu Club as a suitable date for a trial of a 100-target 
event, handicap, unknown angles, on its grounds at Hackensack. 
The date may have been suitable as such things go, but the weather 
experienced, oy those who went to shoot at Hackensack was the sort 
that makes outdoor sports closely resemble hard labor. It wUl shorten 
matters, and be just as eftective, if we extract from the New York 
Svening Sun of this date the following In regard to t .e weather: 
"This city experienced the third big storm of the winter to-day. 
Nearly 6in. of snow had fallen at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Much 
of it came down in the form of sleet, turning into 
snow of the consistency of coarse salt as it sti'uck the ground. 
To the layman it seemed like hail that would turn naturally 
into rain in a short time, but Local Forecaster Dunn explained 
that hail and sleet, though each will sting like a hornet when driven 
by a gale, are born of essentially different meteorological conditions. 
He held out no hope of relief before to-morrow. A high northeast 
wind, gradually increasing to a gale, prevailed all day. Shipping 
was warned all along the Atlantic Coast to stay safely in port. 
Travel was delayed in the morning, and snow plows and sweepers 
were kept busy all day clearing the lines of steam and surface rail- 
roads. The temperature remained stationary at about 21=' all day, 
nd no material change is expected before to-morrow." 
With such conditions to combat against. It was really a wonder 
that any good scores were made. Tom Morfey's 91 and Grifflths's 89 
were a great deal better than they look on paper. The driving snow 
and sleet drifted into the left eyes of the shooters, and made the 
breading of left-quarterers considerably a matter of luck. If a snow- 
flake didn't hit one in the eye at the critical moment it was all right; 
otherwise, and it was all wrong. Neaf Apgar was in trouble from the 
start; he is a south paw and naturally, under the conditions, made 
heavier weather of it than the starboard handed craft. He faced the 
sleet and snow, while the others humped their hacks to the gale. 
The trapper bovs stuck to their work bravely, and it was entirely 
due to the amount of hot coffee poured down their throats that none 
of them were fi'ozen in their nests. Referee Dawson's task was about 
as unpleasant as it could' be, but Ije held the fort, and dealt out 
"dead" and "lost" with his usual impartiality. The puller has a neat 
little house, in which he accommodated the ecorer, f. H. W. Fleming, 
the energetic secretary of the Bockaways and Cuckoos, who kindly 
consented to take charge of the score sheets. 
The handicap was one of allowances of extra targets to shoot at, 
and every man's handicap was based upon a calculation to bring him 
as close as possible to 92, that figure being named as the highest pos- 
sible, unless some shooter broke more than that number out of his 
first 100 targets, in which case such number would be the highest 
possible. Morfey came within 1 point of not needing a handicap at 
all, but GrifiQths needed every target he was allowed to shoot nt. 
Bell got into second place with an allowance of 11 to shoot at, while 
Louis Piercy, who dropped 8 out of the 10 allowed him, broke 90 and 
won third money. The purse, as is necessary when a highest 
possible is named, was divided under the Rose system. Scores were:

A STORMY DAT AT BOILING SPRINGS. 
Feb- 6.— None but cranks would have tu/ned out to-day. The wind 
blew a gale from the northeast, driving the heavy rain before It in 
sheets, and yet. simply because it was the regular monthly club 
shoot, fourteen members of the Boiling Springs Gun Club put in an 
appearance at the club's grounds, at Rutherford, and went out to 
shoot their scores in the 50-target handicap race that constitutes the 
club's regular monthly cup event, Piatt Adams was also on hand 
but he had better sense than to go out and risk pneumonia, grip and 
rheumatism for the sake of a cup and other honors that go with it 
Huck shot a great race and scored 44 in the best of styles. Edwards" 
who was shooting a strange gun and wearing rain-washed spectacles' 
was next to him with 39. Frank, with 5 handicap, was next with 38' 
Greiff (scratch) and De Wolfe (5) were in fourth place with 37. The 
scores made were as below:

YANTICAW GUN CLUB. 
Feb. IS.— The first open shoot of the Yanticaw Gun Club, of Nut- 
ley, N. J., took place to-day and was quit* well attended, as the 
scores show. The object of the shoot was to get better acquainted 
with out-of-town shooters and to have a good time. We succeeded 
very well, and when the weather gets more settled and warmer we 
are going to try it again. We tried to hit upon a day when there 
were no other attractions, but as there are a great many gun clubs 
and only four Saturdays in this month it is not possible to get "first 
place alone." Scores:

Presldent John H. HaU, John Alexander, T. Van Tassell, G. G. Farn- 
ham, Chris Kelly, Adrian Norman, John J. Slater, Richard Morrell, 
Jas. A. Parker, Orrin Van Derhoven, Noel E. Money and the trap 
editor of Fobest and Stream. Messrs. Mahoney and Van Derhoven 
are representatives of the press m the city of Passaic, N. J. 
The president, Mr. Wise, acted as toastmaster, making a few short 
remarks when introducing the speakers, who responded in the fol- 
lowing order to the various toasts: "The Club," Hon. William F. 
Gaston; "The Sportsman," Hon. Andrew McLean; "The Press," 
Dennis W. Mahoney; "The Committee," ex-President John H. Hall; 
"Drivers and Twisters," the representative of Forest and Stream; 
"Sport of All Kinds," Noel E. Money. 
It is unnecessary almost to remark that the dinner was A Wo. 1. 
With Capt. Hall as head of tJie committee, the creature comforts of 
the guests were scarcely likely to be lacking. The menu is sufiacient

Detroit Tacht Club's Shoot. 
Detroit, Mich., Feb. 9.— I send you the score of the Detroit Yacht 
Club's shoot at Bell Isle Park on the Ice in front of the club house 
The Detroit Yacht Club has a membership of about 300, and at the 
last meeting of the club, as there are a large number of the members 
who are fond of shooting as well as yachnnsr, the club appointed a 
committee to ask permission of the Park Commission to shoot on the 
ice in front of the club house. The permission was granted. The 
club requested W. H. Brady to manage the opening shoot, and on 
Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 3, several extra events were shot, and in 
all 1,905 blue rocks were thrown. The club was so well pleased with 
this first effort^ihat it has decided to give a club shoot every Wednes- 
day afternoon as long as the ice lasts. After the shoot the bovs were 
treated to a nice little spread prepared by Mr. M. Kramer. You will 
appreciate that the club house Is built on Bell Island, or the city park, 
consequently they will not be able to shoot on the Park Grounds' 
proper. Scores:

An Interstate Team Race out West. 
We have received the following interesting item from Ogden Utah 
dated Feb. 6: ' ' 
"Arrangements for a team shoot between a Utah and Montana 
team of four men each have been perfected and articles of aeree 
meut signed. The match is to be shot at Ogden, Utah, Feb 22-24 for 
a purse of $800. A. S. A. rules to govern; each man to shoot at' 100 
live pigeons. 
"The members of the Montana team are: John F. Cowan and M 
Wright, of Butte, and James Conley and D. D, Twohy, of Anaconda' 
The Utah t^am consists of J. M. Bro^vning, M, S. Browning G L 
Becker and A. P. Bigelow, all of the Ogden Gun Club. 
"The match has been arranged with a view to Increasing the inter- 
est in trap shooting throughout the West, and It is expected that 
many of the trap-shooters west of the Rockies will be present as 
reduced railroad rates have been obtained. There will be no diffi- 
culty in getting a fine lot of fast birds, as they are largely raised 
around Ogden. 
"It is expected that two days will be consumed in shooting the 
match. The third day will be devoted to sweepstake shooting and a 
general good time is promised to all who attend,"
