Meriden, Conn., ApriJ 29.— The Connecticut Trap-Shooting Associa- 
tion lield its first slioot of the season on the grounds of the Parlter 
Gun Club, Meriden, Conn., April 29. The tournament proved a great 
success in every way. A good deal of interest was centered in the 
tearri race, which was the drawing card. 
The Parker Gun Club naembers are good entertainers and plenty of 
shooting was had. The shoot started about 9 A. M; with a warming 
up event of 10 targets, 50 cents entrance; and thirty-eight shooters. 
(Scores not reported, as it waS not on the programme ) The club 
furnished a luncheon free of charge, consisting of baked pork and 
beans, potato salad, ham sandwiches and hot coffee, which was well 
served and highly appreciated. 
Among the visitbra were O. R. Dickey; Boston, Mass.; Oipt. E. B. 
Wadsworth (Puck), Boston, Mass. ; B. 1.. Trimble, Cincinnati, repre- 
sentative of the Du Pont Powder Co.; Chas. Willard, of the Colt Gun 
Co., Hartford; Conn. Among the list will be found nearly all the old 
familiar names of the Connecticut shooters. Room does not permit 
hammg them in detail. 
The next shoot of the Association will be held on the New Haven 
Gim Club gt'ounds, date to be made known later. The traps used 
are the bluerodk traps, With Nortti's electric pull (one set of five 
traps), and 5,9(5 birds were thrown during the shoot. Everything 
went well, and it is not loo much to expect that the Connecticut Trap 
Shooting Association will prove a grand success for the season of 
1897, if anything can be judged by the tirst grand opening, under the 
auspices of the Parker Gun Club, Meriden, Conn.

The conditions were 50 birds per man, f 50 a side. Hood at 30yds. ' 
Jamison at 28yds. The race ended in a tie, though shortly after the 
start it looked a walkover for Hood, who killed l« straight to his op- 
ponent's 12 out of 18. Then Jdmison ran 17 straight, while Hood lost 
4 birds, thus leading by 2 with 15 more to shoot at. Both lost their 
36th birds, and Jamison also lost his 38th. This gave Hood the lead 
by 3 birds. Jamison killed his last 12, but Hood lost 3, thus making 
it a tie race with 43 each. Jamison having shot a very plucky up-hill 
race. O. A. Macalester officiated as referee. The birds, which were 
furnished by Jim Malone, were a good lot. Hood's failure to win 
was a weakness which he developed on Incomers. The scores were-

Gilbert Defeats Brokaw. 
New York, May 8.— One of the most important matches of the sea- 
son, and probably about the last, was shot to-day on the grounds of 
the Larchmont Y. O. The conditions were 30yds. rise, 30yds. bound- 
ary, 200 birds per man, and the contestants were H. B. Gilbert and 
AV. Gould Brokaw. 
The match excited a good deal of interest, both parties being well 
known in trap-shooting circles. Gilbert in particular has had a most 
remarkably successful career at the traps this season, losing only 
match out of many that he has shot. Brokaw, on the other hand, 
has not been seen much at the traps of late, as he has been spending 
the winter for the most part at Palm Beach, Pla.; his practice work 
for this match, however, showed that he was in the best of form, as 
he scored 49 straight one day, and 177 out of 200 in a trial match. 
There was quite a little betting on the result of the match, Gilbert 
having the call. He was handled, as usual, by Capt. A. W. Money, 
while Geo. S. McAlpin looked after Brokaw. Col. H. A. Batter was 
the referee. 
There was quite a gathering of club men when the race started, oa 
the arrival of the 10 A. M. train. Among those present during the 
match were: Noel E. Money, Capt. A. W. Money, W. A. H. Stafford, 
G. S. McAlpin, John Boudoume, Charles Hibbart, Daniel Bradley, 
Fred G. Moore, Col. Butler Mayhew Bronson, Frank Hardy, Roger 
Lamson, E Payson, Clifford Brokaw, C. U. Hamilton, George Ide, E. 
S. Hatch and D. B. Gilbert. 
Gilbert won easily by 12 birds, his score of 175 being very good in 
view of the fact that the birds Were a fast lot and that there was a 
strong breeze blowing across the grounds. The SOyds, boundary, too, 
must not be forgotten. The score tells how the match was shot:

Houston, J. B. Williamson, J. B. Alexander, Emile Pragoflt, John 
Pnns, H. T. Smyser, Sam Hutchings and Bland Ballard. 
"The members of the club are divided into three classes. A, B and 
C, according to their proficiency in shooting. Every Saturday a con- 
test will take place, and the member of each class who has won the 
greatest number of times by the close of the season will be given a 
gold medal. The birds are projected from five traps and always at 
unknown angles. In Class A, Mr. A. P. Houston won yesterday, 
making 22 out of a possible 25 points. In Class B, Messrs. W. L. Lyons 
and H. T. Smyser were lied, each making 17 points. On the shoot- 
off Mr. Lyons won. In Class C, Mr. John Prins won, hitting 14 
bu'ds. 
'•On Decoration Day, which will be the fourth anniversary of the 
club, a large attendance is expected at the shoot from all over the 
State, and on July 4 the annual meeting will be held for the cham- 
pionship of the State." 
Missouri and Kansas Gun Club Tournament. 
Little Rock, Ark., May 7.— Under this title will be given a tourna- 
ment at Jophn, Mo., May 25-37 with $300 added money. The pro- 
gramme will consist of ten 20-target events each day, with tour 
moneys in each purse. 
W. G. Sergeant and C. M. Sumner are the promoters of this shoot, 
and they, in connection with the other sheoters from Joplin, Mo., 
and Galena, Kan. (where the shooters composing the above club re- 
side), are sure to give those who attend a good shoot. Sergeant is 
well known all over the country as one of the best amateur shots, and 
there has not been a shoot of any consequence in the West for the 
past two years that he has not attended. This alone should materially 
increase the attendance, as reciprocity and the promoters' popularity 
is frequently instrumental in inducing shooters to attend tournaments 
whom added money would have failed to bring. 
Those who attended the Joplin shoot in '1)6 will recall that every- 
thing was carried out as announced, and that it was one of the best 
managed affairs on the circuit, and that the hospitality shown the 
visiting shooters was generous to a fault. Joplin is only 160 miles 
from Kansas City, and this shoot, following right after the Missouri 
State tournament, will make it convenient for shooters from a dis- 
tance to attend this one also. Just ship your shells to E. Webster, 
Joplin, Mo., and you will find them when you want them.

AU prepai'ations for the delegates from the different New Jersey 
gun Clubs on May 19 have been completed. The hour for the meet- 
ing is set for 8 P. M., and the place of meeting is Room 1009, No. 877- 
379 Broadway, New York city, the rooms of the Sportsmen's Associa- 
tion. So many clubs have notified the committee appointed to call 
the meeting of their having appointed delegates, that the success ot 
the efforts to re-organize the old State organization, or to organize a 
new one, is insured. We may now look for a State shoot in New Jer- 
sey some time this summer or during the early fall. All gun clubs 
that have not elected delegates to date should do so at once.

Marlin Model of 1897. 
The Marlin Fire Arms Company, New Haven, Conn., send us an 
advance notice of a new .SScal. repeating rifle, which will be ready for 
delivery June 15. 
This is a take-down repeater, weighing, with 24in. barrel, BJ^Jlbs., 
and shooting without any change in adjustment the short, long and 
long rifle cartridges for this cahber. The action of this rifle is that of 
the very popular model of l!593, with the addition of the take down 
feature and various improvements. 
Chief among these improvements may be noted the following: The 
working parts are of tool steel, carefully hardened and guaranteed to 
wear, while the receiver is of the special tool steel used in the Marhn 
high-power smokeless rifles. 
The important factor of cleaning has received due attention, and a 
great advance has been made in this respect. The barrel may be 
cleaned as easily from the breech as from the muzzle, and the work- 
ing parts are finely polished, thus insuring an action even smoother 
than in the famous model of 1893. All pans of the action are se- 
curely fastened, so that none can be lost; but at the same time all 
may readily be removed, if desired, and every crevice thoroughly 
cleaned.— jdciv. 
Bicycles. 
The Relay Mfg. Co., Reading, Pa., issue a neat catalogue of their- 
well-known and reliable bicycles. The Relay line is very complete, 
including six models ranging in price from #60 to $100, besides tan- 
dem, combination tandem and tricycle tandem. 
The latter is a novelty in cycle construction, and should prove very 
popular with persons who have hereiofore been debarred from the 
pleasures of cycling through the fear of upsets. 
Relay bicycles possess many features of sterling excellence, none 
of which is jierhaps more striking than their visible ball bearings, 
which enable the rider to inspect the bearings without re-noving the 
wheel from the frame. Catalogues will be sent on application. — Adv. 
Antidote to Ivy Poisoninfir. 
HiBAx is a non-poisonous lotion for external use, which^insures an 
instant cure for ivy poisoning and the bites and stings of poisonous 
insects. It is said that a single application will relieve the pain 
caused by a bee or hornet sting, and a few days use will cure the 
most obstinate case of ivy poisoning. The preparation is especially 
valuable to sportsmen as an antidote to the poison of black files, 
gnats, etc., and the importance of having this article on hand ready 
for use should not be overlooked.— ..^.tiv.
