BROOKLTN GUN CLUB, 
July 10.— The team race between the Brooklyn Gun Club and the 
New Utrecht Gun Olub, of Brooklyn, took place this afternoon on the 
grounds of the Brooklyn Gun Club, Enfield street and City line. The 
intention originally was to shoot 10-men teams, but the NewUtrechts 
could not muster enough to make up the list; so eight men to a team, 
S5 targets per man, unknown angles, was the order of things. The 
weather was extremely hot: far too hot, in fact, for any one to dis- 
play any energy in breaking targets. The wind was from the south- 
east, and there was plenty of it; but. unfortunately for the shooters 
and spectators, the big cow barn of the dairy attached to the farm on 
which the grounds of the club are located, shut off every atom of 
hreeze that would otherwise have made life better worth living. Out 
in the field, just where the targets flew, there was plenty of breeze; 
there was no question of that, as the targets dipped, scooted, soared 
and curved from the magautrap in a manner calculated to exasperate 
any Individual who was perspiring in the complete calm that pre- 
vailed at the score. 
It was hard shooting, and Cornelius Furgueson's 93 out of 25 was an 
excellent piece of work, and remarkable from the fact that he does 
not shoot, or even profess to shoot, targets more than about once or 
twice in a season. Piatt Adams had his eye with him, too, and was a 
good second to his chief. The result of the team race was very 
close, only 2 targets separating the teams at the finish. The closing 
rounds of the race were extremely interesting. The squads lined up 
as follows: No. 1 squad— Halsted, Mason and Dain versus Gaughen, 
Furgueson and Adams; No. 2 squad— L. Piercy, Herrington and Carl 
ven Lengerke versus Dudley, Deacon and F. A. Thomj)son; No. 3 
squad— Banks and Remsen versus O'Brien and G. Piercy. The race 
was divided up into a 10-target event and a 15 target event, it being 
too warm to permit of a longer race than 15 at one time 
When No. .3 squad came to the score for the last 15 targets, the 
Brooklyns were 3 breaks behind. The firsts targets of the series re- 
sulted in a tie, O'Brien and Banks each losing a target; in the next 5, 
Piercy lost 3 and O'Brien 1, as against Remsen's 3 and Banks's 1 ; this 
left the Brooklyns still 2 behind and only 5 more rounds to shoot. 
O'Brien lost his 21st and 22d, but Remsen's loss of his 22d left the 
New Utrechts still 1 ahead. All broke their 23d targets, but in the 
!t4th round both O'Brien and Piercy lost. Remseii also losing his tar- 
get; the scores were thus a tie with one more target each to shoot at 
Tbe New Utrecht representatives losing their 25th targets, and the 
Brooklyn men breakmg theirs, the victory rested with the boaie team 
by almost as narrow a margin as possible, one team to win. The 
Qetailed scores were: 
Brooklyn Gun Club.

Tlie Sherbrooke Tournament. 
Shbrbrooke, Can., July 10.— It was a lovely day, July 1. It always 
is when we want to shoot. Given a fine day and forty jolly sports- 
men, and you have a great combination. 
Almost all our visitors arrived the night before and were on the 
grounds in good time, so that the shooting commenced promptly. 
The programme was divided into two parts, the straight sweeps being 
sbot Sergeant system, the extra series of slow events of one man up 
on another set of traps. The regular series went smoothly and entries 
were large, but the extras dragged. Entries were slow, the traps too 
easy. Next time we shall do difEerently. 
The Sergeant system gave satisfaction to most, but was the cause 
of several hitches and some '-balls up." We shall probably continue 
it among ourselves, but for a tournament it does not seem to be 
equally fair to those who have not seen ic before. 
< >wing to the civic celebration which went on all day In town, it was 
difficult to get workers for the different departments, and the ex- 
penses were greater than usual. However, we congratulate ourselves 
on the smoothness with which the shoot went off, the club being par- 
ticularly happy in the kind, good-nature of all present. We were 
particularly pleased by the attendance from the United States, and 
hope to see more from American clubs next time. 
J. H. Cameron, representing the Winchester Arms Co., is an old 
friend of the club's, and has done good work for his firm among tbe 
Canadians. B. H Norton of the Hazard Powder Co., was among us 
for the first time, and his shells in N. G. Bray's Pieper gun made the 
longest straight of the day, 28. E. C. Ellsworth, representing tbe 
Gold Dust Powder, has several backers in Canada, and some of his 
scores showed there was nothing wrong with his load. 
No. 6 was a team match between tbe Sutton .Junction Club, which 
has held the cup three times running; Waterloo and Sherbrooke, five 
men, 20 targets each. Waterloo was one man short, so sbot 25 each. 
This event was the closest we have ever had and caused great inter- 
est. At the close Sutton Junction stood 73, Sherbrooke 73^ Waterloo 
69. The first shoot off , 25 targets, resulted in another tie at 22. 
Second shoot-on gave Sherbrooke the match by 1 target. 
An individual challenge cup was inaugurated, for which five en- 
tered, 20 known, 20 unknown, 45 pairs: Craig, Sherbrooke, 39; West- 
over, of Sutton Junction, 37; Cameron, Montreal, 35; Wootton, Mon- 
treal. 32; Eaton, Montreal, 33 It is expected that future challenges for 
this cup will be frequent and productive of some interesting matches. 
In the aggregate (.100 targets) the winners were: Craig, 86; Barrett, 
Montpelier, 85; Fisk, Montpelier, 85; J. E. Macfarlane, Waterloo, 79; 
O. C. Selby, Sutton Junction, 78; H. B, Colvin, Burlington, 78; A. W. 
Westover, Sutton Junstion, 'iS; W, L, Cameron, Montreal, 75 
Statistics being of interest to most trap shooters, the following was 
compiled by some kind friend ; Of guns, 9 were Winchesters, 7 Green- 
ers, 3 Smitbs, 3 Parkers, 2 Lefevers, 1 each Reoaington, Piepi-r, Need- 
ham, Forehand. Clayborough, Ithaca and Loomis. Of shells, !i9 used 
Winchester, 6 U. M. C, 1 Peters. Twenty-two used E. C. powder, 5 
Hazard,' Gold Dust, 2 S. S and 1 King's. Black powder was entirely 
absent, although notbaared. 
Among those i>resent were: A. W. Westover, J. D. Clark, H. E. 
Hibbard and 0. C. Selby, Sutton Junction; J. B. Goodliere, Rock 
Island; C. M. Hull, J. D. Macfarlane, Dr, Claik and D. Ashton.Water-

The extra series used up only some 1,500 targets. Barrett, of Mont- 
pelier, and Bray, of Sherbrooke, had a hard fight for first place In 
one of the miss-and-outs, Barrett missing his 20th and Bray his l9th. 
The former also took two firsts in miss and-outs with 10 not out. 
Fred Loomis, of Sherbrooke, gor five doubles, all but his last. In- 
comers proved too easy, one-third of the number breaking them all, 
in spite of the fact that our game generally goes the other way. 
Both programmes were finished at 7 P. M., and as the busses were 
waiting no extras were shot, 
In the evening the visitors enjoyed tbe illuminations, which were 
especially fine in the residential parts of the city, as were the fire- 
works on the river. 
In conclusion, not a Avord was heard from anybody about the old 
style of class shooting. It is dead in the Province of Quebec. From 
programmes received from two Ontario clubs, we see that they are 
still in the dark, but we hope to hear soon that the Rose system is 
universal. C. H. Eoss, Sec'y.

they appeared in the score furnished us — Foee.st and Stream ] 
scheduled for this day. No. 7 being a miss-and-out, $1 entrance, birds 
extra, while No. 3 is a lO-hird event, with an entrance fee of $7.50. 
On the second day there are nine events on the programme, six of 
these again being 20-targ6t events, with $2 entrance and $15 added. 
No. 6 is the two-men team race for the L C. Smith cup. The condi- 
tions in this event are 25 targets per man, entrance $5 per team, S26 
added, 50 per cent, going to the present holders of the cup and the 
balance being divided 80, 25. 20, 15 and 10 per cent. No. 8 is a 5 live- 
bird event, entrance $3.50; No, 9 a 10 live-bird event, $7.50 entrance; 
this event is for the State medal. There is $35 in this event also, 
and the purse is divided precisely as in the L C. Smith cup event. 
The Smith cup is at present held by Wilmot and Bates, who won it 
on a score of 46, Vv'^ilmot scoring 24 and Bates 22. Wilmot is also the 
possessor of the State medal at live birds, winning it on a score of 30 
straight 
The third day's programme is an exact repetition of the first. Six 
20-target events with the usaal entrance fee and added money, and 
two live bird events; one a $1 miss-and-out and the other a 10-bird 
sweep entrance $7.50. 
The annual meeting of the Association will be held at the Court 
House Tuesday evening at 8:30 P. M. Mr. Thos. F. Hurd is secretary. 
The added money in this shoot has been judiciously distributed, 
and cannot fail to please tbose who attend As there has been no 
shoot of any consequence in the West lately, this shoot is creating 
quite a s*ir in Western trap circles. In fact, this and the big Schmel- 
zer shoot will most (likely be the principal attractions for the 
Western shooter— unless that much-talked-of amateur tournament 
materializes atSt Louis. 
The latest reports from Kansas City are to fehe effect that there will 
be one of the old time gatherings of producers at the Schmelzer shoot 
in September. ' Paul S, Litzske.

The International Week in London. 
The international week at Hurllngham and the Gun Club closed on 
Saturday, July 3. The London Field ot July 10 giyes the following 
statistics, which will be of interest to American pigeon sitiooters. 
The Mr. 0. H. Mackay referred to is a member of the Carteret Gun 
Club: 
"la the different contests during tbe week no fewer than twelve 
kinds of powders or their combinations were used Last year the 
majority shot with E C. and Schul I ze powder, but on this occasion 
the former explosive was little in favor. Since last year Ballistite 
and Amberite powders have become very popular, and over two- 
thirds of the prizes have been won with the aid ot these explosives. 
Amberite powder heads the list with £1,814 10s. won, Ballistite coming 
next with £1 199. The balance of the prizes were won by the follow- 
ing powders: Walsrode, £562 10s.; Schultze, £276 10s.; E. C, £86 10s.; 
Schultze and Ballistite, £06 10s , and French, 8. and J , £5.

year, but the percentage of birds killed throughout the week (re's) 
showed little difference. The principal prize winners (inclusive of the 
value of cups and gun), and their total score in the advertised events,
