June 26.— The second team race of a series of three arranged be-

Gun Club, of Hackensack, was decided this afternoon on the grounds 
of the latter club near the depot of the N. Y., Siis. & Western R. R. at 
Hackensack Both teams were fairly representative of the club, but 
each was minus one or two men who would have made a good showing. 
As it was, the race Was a very close one, and when Carl vonLengerke 
the captain of the Endeavors, went to the score with Hildreth as his 
opponent, both being the last men on the respective teams, the Ber- 
gen County men were 4 in the lead, Carl, however, wag In form and 
broke 34 out of his 25, while Hildreth fell off his shooting and dropped 
11 out of his 35. The Endeavors thus won by 6 breaks. The detailed 
scoreei of the race were as below:

THE K. C. OUP. 
This same afternoon the E. C. cup monthly contest was shot off. Dr. 
I)e Wolfe scoring his second for the cup, Herrington chasing him to 
the finish. This race is a handicap affair, an allowance of extra tar- 
gets to shoot at being awarded by a handicapjing committee of the 
club. The allowances were shot off in the team race to save time, 
both Herrington and De Wolfe making highest possibles of 50 each. 
Wood, who was not on a team, had to break 9 out of his 
allowance of 10 to give him a highest possible. As he dropped his 1st 
and Sd targets of his allowance, he withdrew, having no chance to tie 
for the cup. On the shoot-off at 25 targets each, De Wolfe won with 
?4 out of 25, losing his 2d target: while Herrington lost his 2d, 11th and 
19th targets, going out with 22 out of 25. The full scores in the cup 
race were:

Mr. Gates and the Rose System. 
Peekskill, N, Y.— Editor Forest and Stream: I have read with in- 
terest in a late issue of Forest and Stream the letter of Mr. Gates, of 
Utica. on the Rose system, and I venture to say that if all those who, 
like Mr. Gates, feeling that they can "shoot some," should get into a 
c'ass tournament wbere there were no contributing members, that 
shoot -would be short-lived. Witness the late State shoot The 
"Wolves" -were not satisfied with devouring each other, but must also 
feast upon the "Lambs." Why? Because "there was more money 
in it," as quoted in your report last week. That is, notwithstanding 
the entry fee for events was one-half of the former, the list was 
larger and the number of 75 per cent, men who were willing to be 
shorn was greater. Hence the descent of the "Wolves." 
The change in the manner of dividing the purses in favor of these 
same "Wolves," and no doubt, at their request, was not right to say 
the least. The Rose system, as published in the programme, should 
have been adhered to, or if entries were fewer than expected, the 
moneys could have been made five and four. 
The argument of Mr. Gates appears to be based entirely upon a plan 
for the element of luck to drop into a convenient place "all alone" 
and thereby "make expenses " It is true that we are a gambling 
nation. We gamble whether we shall draw the next breath; gamble 
on the prospects of another meal; we take chances of life, prosperity 
in business, health and many other things necessarily. The Rose sys- 
tem does away, to a certain extent, with this eternal gamble, and to 
my mind, therefore. Is one of its best features. 
There are many professional men who, like myself, shoot at the 
trap for the relaxation from business, and the recreation the diver- 
sion brings. 
In no sense of the word do we go into it for profit financially. 
Naturally, therefore, we cannot and do not ever expect to classify 
ourselves as experts. We should like to attend a few tournaments a 
day at a time. It brings us into many new and pleasing acquaiut- 
ances and makes sometimes strong friendships. Incidentally we 
Shoot a little, never getting our money back and satisfied if we "draw 
down even a little. Under the Rose plan we can occasionally help to 
pay expenses and are content financially and feel that the outlay has 
not been too great to prohibit a repetition and a subsequent meeting 
of old faces in new places. 
If the Rose system handicaps the en pert and favors the weaker 
shot it is no more than all handicaps do in all other sports. Bicycling, 
billiards, yachting, etc., all have their handicap races, why not trap- 
shooting. 
In event No. 6 of the "Lambs" on the third day, in which I had the 
pleasure to participate, there were twelve entries at $\ each. Purse 
of $18, divided 40, 30, 20, 10, resulted as follows: One man broke 
straight and received $4 80, six broke 14 and divided $3.60, 60 cents 
each ; two scored 13 and divided $2.40, each getting twice as much as 
the l4s; two with 13 each received same as those who scored 14. 
There is certainly no one who will be frank enough to claim that 
this was a fair division of the purse. 
In the absence of anything better than the Rose system, and until 
some wise man can invent an improvement in the matter, we are 
certainly bound to accept it as the best we have to date.

Bland Ballard, of Louisville, Ky., has returned to the Jersey coast 
for the summer months, and is just as busily engaged as ever bowling 
over live birds from the Elkwood Park traps. Ballard is shooting very 
well (as he always does), and will render a good account of himself at 
both Hollywood and ElKwood Park before he goes into winter quar- 
ters at Louisville 
Fort Smith Gun Club. 
FoiKE Smith. Ark., June 24.— The following scores were made by the

throwa from three bluerock trops arranged on the "Sergeant sys- 
tem." Some of the targets were crackajacks, sailing gaily along "for 
73 or 80yds. They were a little too swift for some of the boys, but 
they will get on to them after awhile. Scores:

NOTES. 
Duley was suffering from a sick headache, but managed to lead the 
gang. The boys suggested that he had better stay sick all the time. 
Will Echols said, "Oo e. see 'eni go," when the first bird left tb 
trap and darted over into a cornfield. 
"Ain't she a daisy? Be.st system I ever shot under." said little Joe- 
Leach missed his first bird and then ran 16 straight— the largest 
run of the day, 
Messrs. Martin and Boyd shot on a wager of something less than a 
hundred. They both expressed themselves as determined to break 
'em all next time. 
Baptist says he is going to get him a new $500 gun and then, oh 
then ! look out for buck rabbits. 
I lEldin says something way down under his breath when he misses a 
target. The boy.s have been wondering what it is. Perhaps he is 
calling on his mascot. Tben again perhaps he isn't. 
The club shoots every Thursday evening. SBOrtHTAR-s.
