[Mat 15, 1897. 
Newburgh's Semi-Annual. 
The semi-annual gatberinfirs of the West Newburgh Guii and Rifle 
A«sociation, of Newbnrgb. N. Y., are always thorone'hly enjoyable, 
and the sprine: tourn'ment of the Association held May 5-7 is to be 
counted atnons; that number. There are two or three reasons why 
these fratherines should be pleasanr ones. First, the scenery around 
the grounds of the As«iociation can scarcely be surpassed anywhere; 
spcond. these tournaments are held in the spring and in the fall, just 
at the height of each season, when nature is wearing: her prettiest 
dresses: third, Jake Gidney's unqualified success as a popular caterer 
on all occasions; fourth arid last, but not least, the "glad band" that 
is always extended to aU visitors by the members of the Newburgh 
Club. 
NOT A LARGB NUMBEE OF KNTHIKS. 
The number of entries did not run largje, twenty-six shooters taking 
part in the programme events on the first day, and two of the twenty- 
six only shootipg in one event. On the second target dav the number of 
shooters was increased to over thirty, but several of these shot "for 
birds only " But the quaUty was there; note a few of the names: 
E. D. Fiilford and M. M. Mnyhew, Utica, N. Y ; J. S. Fanning, of 
San FranciFco, representing Gold Dust Smokeless; Ferd Van Dyke, 
Dayton. N. J , winning the general average and being on top each 
day, representing the Winchester Repeating Arms Oompanv. of New 
Haven, Conn ; Ralph Trimble. Coving on. Ky , representing Du Pont 
Smokeless: .T. S. S. Remsen, Brooklyn, N. Y. ; H. M. Levengston, a 
rattling good shot from Stiratoga Springs, N. Y.; Neaf Apgar. Plain- 
fleld, N. J.; Gu? E. GreifC, New York, representing Von Lengerke & 
Detmold and Schultz» powder; Captain A W Money. Oakland. N. J , 
representing the amalgamated forces of the B. O. & Schultze Powder 
ComDaniea of America; WL Herringtnn, New York, representing W-A 
Smokeless; J. L. Brewer, of New York; J. G. Lindzey, Dunellen, N. 
J ; Dr. P. H. Mason, Peekskill, N. Y.; W. M. Stanbrough and Jas S. 
Tavlor, Newburgh; etc. 
And there were also others who were not far behind in the push: 
JackHalsted, Harry Daiu and Frank Southai-d, of Peekskill, N. Y.; 
J. B. Ogden, Warwick, N Y ; Beveridg<», Fremont, Neb ; Capt. J H. 
Wood, Harry Higginson and Dickson, of the home club; W. H. Hy- 
land and hi's young daughter, who shoots remarkably well, North 
Tarrytown, N.'Y.; O. IT. Perkins, Trov, N Y ; J. Rhodes, of Fishkill, 
and his brother. T. Rhodes, of Marlboro. N. Y ; M. F. Robert, Rupert, 
Vt.; John M. Philips ('Commodore), Salem, N. Y.; Arnold, Albany ; 
Joe Baker, Ridgefield, N. J., etc. 
THE WEATHER WAS PAVOHABLB. 
The Association was decidedly favored in the matter of weather. 
Each day there was a brilliant sun, and it was warm enough, despite 
a breeze from the northeast, to sit around in the shade and enjoy life 
in general. With such a number of cracks on hand (and indeed there 
was a warm lot for semi-experts and novices to buck up against) 
good scores could be looked for with a certainty, as the background 
is A No. 1. But the shoo ing was not so easy after all, for the targets 
were ttirown at varying heights, some quite low and others away up 
among the clouds, while straightaways were so scarce that they fairly 
took one's breath away when they did show up. Gil, the head trapper 
of the cluh, is a boss trapper, and takes a pride in the work he and 
his force have to do; it looked also as if he took a special delight in 
fooling the cracks, for ihe traps were not "changed every time." but 
frequently, so that one never could tell what angle was probable It 
might be three right-quarterers m succession; then a left-quarterer; 
then two right-quarterers, and so on. Such a style of trapping means 
leall.v "unknown angles," whereas if you "change the traps every 
time," it is scarcely unknown angles in reality. 
Under the above conditions straights were not as numerous as one 
would have supposed from the company; but with the warm oom- 
xmny facing the traps it was a case of "everybody in for the money" 
almost every event. This, with no added money in the purses, cut 
up the purses into so many pieces that a man had to shoot a great 
streak to come out ahead. 
THE HOSE SY.STEM; WAS USED. 
The West Newburgh Gun and Rifle Association adopted the Rose 
system of dividing purses at its tournaments last year, and sticks to 
it. While the system does not meet with the approval of the cracks, 
and for ohvious reasons, it does meet with the genuine approval of 
the majority of shooters in this section. But this tournament at New- 
burgh was a hard test of its merits, being something afier the pattern 
of the shoot given by the Cobweb Gun Club at Baychester, N. Y., last 
March, when so many crackerjacks took part in the tournament. In 
both instances it was a case of shoot hara to break even or come out 
ahead ; while those who lost felt satisfied, because they lost less under 
the Rose system than they would have done under the old system. 
And it is worth while remembering that for one man who wins at 
such shnots there are four or five that lose; somebody has to pay for 
the targets and ante up for the money won by those on top, not to 
mention the expenses of running the shoot and put. ing a small sur- 
p'us in the club's treasury. 
But we do think the club made a mistake in dividing purses in 
the live-bird events on the same plan. For 5 and 7-bird races we have 
always held out for high gtms; say one high gun for every four or 
five entries. For 10-bird races ami events calling for a stili higher 
number of birds, we believe in adopting the same plan, basing the 
moneys on the number of entries, just as the Interstate Association 
did in its programme for this yeai's Grand American Handicap. Our 
reason for urging this system is the fact that live-bird shooting is 
more expensive and quite as easy as target shooting, and that there- 
fore, ucuer the Rose system or under the "old system" it is quite pos- 
sible for a man to kill them all and yet come out behind. We would 
rather see ihe "o d dropping-for place system" in force for live-bird 
events than the Rose i^ystem. Make it nigh guns all the time. 
The cashier's department was, as usual, capably bandied by Presi- 
dent Dave Brown; John B. Rogers, of Warwick, N. Y., taking his old 
position of entry clerk and fquad hustler. 
QBNRRAl. AVERAGES. 
In the general averages Van Dyke, by virtue of his steady shooting 
on bo h days, was easily ahead with a4 1 breaks out of. 370 shot at. 
Brewer, who tied Van D.\ ke for first, average on the secrnd day, 
landed in second plnce for general averat?e with '^'SQ breaks. Fanning 
was third, 6 targets behind Brewer. Greiff came next with 3J8 
breaks, Eawards and Lavengston tieing for 5th and 6th places with 
3 7 oreaks to their credit. The above-n-med received the G averase 
moneys given by the club— $13, *11, $r, $6 and $5., The records

On the first day Fulford started off like a racfhorse, breaking 
something like 40 straight in the extra events shot prior to the open- 
ing of the programme. His falling off in form after such good work 
was quiie a mystery. Trimoie, although badly out} of form, shot 
pluckUy along throughout the entire progmmme, making a straight 
or two now and then, just to show what he could do when feeling 
well.

NEW YORK VERSUS NEW JERSEY. 
A special feature of this afternoon's spNart was a five-men team 
race between New York and New .Jersey shooters; the latter by vir- 
tue of their being guests of the New Yorkers were the challengers. 
Neaf Apgar captained the Jerseymen, Edwards selecting the New 
York team. Each man shot at 25 targets, unknown angles. The re- 
sult was a win for New York by 6 targets, the totals standing 109 to 
ICS Fulford and Van Dyke for their respective teams led with 24 
each while Apgar knocked out 23! Scores were as follows:

Third Day, May 7. 
This was live-bird day and the club had provided some excellent 
pigeons for the occasion. The boundary at these grotmds is quite 
short and varies from about SOyds. to 45 or 50 With a strong wind 
across the traps these grounds are about as hard as any we know of, 
but to-day there was scarcely enough breeze to do much toward 
helping the birds away from the traps. 
The programme called for a 5-. a 7- and a 10-bird race with respect- 
ive entrance fees of $5, $?.50 and $10. Fanning and James S. Taylor 
did good work with the gun, scoring all their birds in these three 
events, while Fanning added to his record by killing 9 more straight 
in a miss and-out, thus making his total 31 straight. Capt. Money " 
also made a good score, accounting for 29 of the 31 he shot at, using 
only his first barrel on 24 out of the 29 scored to him. 
The handicaps affixed to each shooter's name applies only to event 
No. 3, the 10-bird race In this event, as in all the others with the ex- 
ception of the miss and-ouis (Nos. 4 and 6) several of those whose 
scores are given shot only "for bii'ds." Below are the scores in de-

Boston Gun Club. 
Wkllinoton, Mass., May 5 -At last an entirely satisfactory day 
appeared to-day for the benefit of humanity in general and the Bos- 
ton Gun Club in particular. A day at Wellington when the conditions 
are such that a lost target can only be accounted for by faulty 
marksmanship and nothing else is something of a rarity, and must 
be gfven prominence. Not a single miss to-day was laid to the wind 
—probably because not a zephyr was stu-ring that could come under 
so dignified a heading— and minus the stereotyped excuse a general 
sadness was noted, and the silence was painful as a target sailed 
serenely on. 
The match to-day was productive of more fair scores in one con- 
test than any during the series of fifteen shoots, of which thirteen 
have taken place. A shooter's best six scores count for the prizes; 
thus a faithful attendant benefits accordingly by throwing out low 
scores and improving each Wednesday, if possible. At present 
Spencer has 108 out of a possible 126 under these conditions, Miskay 
97. Gordon 94, Woodruff and Winters 89, and so oh, down the list of 
twelve, with four others who have scores that will admit of comple- 
tion if desired. The last two shoots will quite possibly alter the com- 
plexion i t the above situation, with exception of high gun, who is all 
but sure of his prize, the first.
