ON LONG ISLAND. 
BROOKLYN GUN CLtJB, 
' Aug Z7.— The attendance 'his afcernoon at the grounds of the 
Brooklyn Gun Club wss small, but the quality was all right. The 
shooting, as a rule, was far better than is generally s^en on these 
grounds, but everything was in favor of high scores, there being no 
wind and an excellent light. 
Louis Piercy, the flfteen-year-old member of the Endeavor Gun 
Club of Jarsey City, and his father, Geo. H Tiercy, boih shot very 
well in the prize shoot; and so, indeed, did George McA.lpin, who 
made his first appearance at the target traps for many a long day. 
From the way the three above-named shooters were centering iheir 
targets it looked as if a decision as to ihe ownership of the valuable 
gold watch put up for competiton by the club's captain, John Wricht, 
would not he arrived at by nightfall. At the end of the second sboot- 
olt of the tie, McAlpin took George Piercy on one side and whispered 
somethinsr in his ear; Piercv nodded, and then McAlpin announced 
that he and G Piercy withdrew in favor of the lad— an announcement 
that was greeted with unstinted applause. Young Piercy really de- 
served his prize, as he had Aot very well, breaking in the prize shoot 
a total of 55 out of 61, an average or 91.6 per cent. His father, G. H. 
Piercy, broke a total of 52 out of 57. or an average of 912 per cent. 
George McAlpin had a record of 91. E per cent The figures below 
speak for themselves.

As stated above, McAlpin and G. Piercy withdrew in favor of the 
younger Piercy, the flfteen-year-old Jersey boy winning the hand- 
some watch. Young Piercy used W-A, McAlpin used Schiiltze, and 
George Piercy shot E C , we believe. 
Several sweeps were also shot, but wg have no records of the 
scores. We remember, however, that George McAlpin shot away up 
all the time, seldom losing a target. Edw4Bd Banks.

A GOOD AFTERNOON AT HACKENSACK. 
Aug 21.— The -Bergen County Gun Club announced quite a field day 
for tne above date. The main features on the programme were the 
E. C cup shoot and the 10 men team race between the home club and 
the Endeavor Gun Club of Jersey City. Notwithstanding these 
attractions, the attendance wa* comparatively small -particularly of 
the members of the Endeavor Gun Club. This is somewhat unusual, 
for the club meJibers generally support the teams representing it by 
showing up in goodly numbers, ^ix men was all it could muster,, 
although Uncle Billy Hughes might be called a seventh, as he was on 
the grounds, but had no gun Al Heritage was present and held up 
his end well, but, as he put it aiterward: "When it comes to feath- 
ers, I'm right there The.=e things I never could hit properly Wait 
until the last two days of the Jcr.sey Slate shootat Clifton racetrack." 
The result of the team race was a win for the visitors by 6 targets. 
The monthly shoot for the E C. cup, 50 targets, unknown angles,, 
handicap allowance of extra targets to shoot at, brought out a field 
of seventeen shooters. The cup was won by Ed Taylor, the represen- 
tative of Laflin & Rand ; he broke 23 out of each 25, and needless tO' 
state, he used W-A powder. Noel Money, secretary of the- E. C.- 
Schultze combitia ion, also shot up strongly with two 23s, but Taylor's- 
handicep gave him a big advantage. 
The afternoon was almiost perfect for shooting targets, there being a 
bright sun and a goad light. The targe s were thrown far harder 
than is usual at these grounds, while the trapper boys quartered 
them sharply up and down the screen. The varying he'gnts of the' 
targets also added to the difficulty of locating them properly; some 
targets towered strongly, while others scooted over the reed*, never 
rising against the sky. Below are the scores in the principal events:

The above scores do not give aU the handicaps, but where they are 
omitted the shooters had no chance "o equal Taylor's score of 50. The 
handicap allowances were shot oft' in the team race between the 
Bergen County Gun Club and the Endeavor Gun Club, of Jersey City, 
so as to save time. 
Neither club could put a full ten-men team in the field, vacations 
playirg havoc with the attendance. As it was. six men from each 
f lun took part, the result being a win for the Endeavors by 6 targets,. 
Lruis Piercy making 24 and Carl von Lengerke i3 for the winners. 
Capt. Money with 22 was high for the home team. The scores as a 
rule ran low.

Targets and Clams at Orange Liake, N. T. 
Thkrb is joyin Newburgh, N. Y., and its adjacent hamlet of Peeks- 
kill-on-ihe-Su lson. Another scalp has been added to the long string 
of such trophies possessed by the above-mentioned almost Invincible 
combination. Seven New Yomers (or thereabouts), accompanied by 
Captain J. A. H. Dressel, of the U. M. C. Company, who acted in the 
joint capacity of rooter and mascot, journeyed to Pine Point, Orange 
Lake, near Newburgh, N. Y , on Thursday, Aug. 19, and did its best 
to take into camp the enemy'.s talent. The New Yorkers thought it 
would be easy, but it. wasn't Something was amigs, and the visitors 
lost the race by the narrow margin of two targets. The captain of 
the visiting team was wholly to blame for the fiasco; his men did 
nobly, but he failed to connect with 7 targets out of 35. That was 
what happened. The clams were not to blame either, for the bake 
was not ojoened until after the race had been shot. 
Since Neaf Apgar has been installed as proprietor of the Pine Point 
Club Hotel, a good deal of target shooting has been done at this pic- 
turesque spot. A magaiitrap has been leased and the targets are 
thrown out over and into the lake. There are no ''pick-ups." The 
background, chiefly water (tiecause the shooting stand is about on a 
level with the top of the trap house), is perfect, and some capital 
scores have been made at Pine Point The S"and, too, owing to the 
formation of the point on which the shooting is done, is small, only 
three men being able to shoot at the same time, and even then they 
have to stand very close together. This makes it very like shooting 
at targets thrown from a magautrap with the shooters grouped 
around No 3 score. In short, the shooting is very easy ; but yet one 
has to watch very closely, or one of theciu-vlng right- quarterers will 
be shot over, or a short and sharp left-quarterer permitted to drop 
intact into the water of Orange Lake. 
The excuse for the team race was a clam bake and general sweep- 
stake programme of events. George Taggart engineered the prelim- 
inary work of the bake, finding out who would come and who 
wouldn't. The actual manual labor connected with the cooking of 
the clams, lobsters, chicken, flsh, potatoes, green corn, etc., was at- 
tended to by an expert, whose name has totally escaped what is 
usually a fair sort of a memory. He lives somewhere around New- 
burgh" anyway, and knows his business. When the first team race 
had been decided, and when the natives had rubbed it in again by 
winning a six-men team race by 10 targets, the bake was opened, and 
somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 guests sat down to break 
straights. Scores in these events were uniformly high. The Rose 
system was given a trial and was found to work capitally; experts, 
semi experts and novices, all were satisfied with the result of the di- 
visions, something rather unusual, and there was no handicap. In 
one event at 20 clams, unknown angles, use of one fork only, ■•first 
money alone" went to Dave Brown, the popular president of the 
West Newburgh Gun and Rifle Association; his was the only straight 
in this event, and thus afforded a good example of the workings of 
the Rose system; had the division been under the old system of 40, 
31, 2u and 10, Mr Brown, who is an expert, but not a paid man, would 
have gotten what we claim to be an inequitable proportion of the 
■ purse. 
The day was just one of the made- to-order sort, and came as a 
great relief after the frequent showers which have characterized the 
summer season of 1897 up to date. The programme of amusements 
for the day was varied. 100. Sweepstakes at targets were open to 
those ivho wanted to shoor, an average of between fifteen to twenty 
entries being maintained throughout the afternoon, for shooting did 
not commence until about2 P. M. Qioit pitching contests were also 
well sustained, report saying that George Taggart was ahead at this 
game. After the bake, Mr. Stebblns, of Newburgh. gave an exhibi- 
tion of his skill in riding horses without either saddle or bridle; his 
efforts in this lino were warmly received by the entire crowd. Later 
in the evening he gave some recitations also that called forth ap- 
plause. Altogether, it was a most thoroughly enjoyable day, and the 
initial clambake and target tournament at Pine Point was voted an 
unqualified success. 
Below will be found the scores of the teams that met on this date;

After the above defeat by 2 targets, the New York contingent made 
an effort to regain its lost laurels, shooting a six-men team race, 
Dickson having left and Buck's right cheek being too badly pounded 
to permit of his putting his gun to it again this afternoon. The 
result of the second attempt was even more disastrous than the first 
effort, the home teath winning easily by 10 targets, as per score given

At Little Rock. 
Little Rook, Ark., Aug. 17 — Q aite an interesting ma'^ch was shot 
'onthe local club grounds to-day; it was the direct result of the State 
:8hoot, and some good-natured j allying on the part of the contestants. 
It toos but very little talk before Dickinson and Thioault agreed to 
shoot 100 targets for the price of the birds. It will be remembered 
thatThibauit m>ide the best average at the State tournament, while 
Dickinson is generally conceded to be the best shot on the local 
ground. In fact, he had never been defeated at home in an individual 
match. It has been some time since any one has had the nerve to try 
■conclusions with him. 
The race was close and Interesting from start to finish. Dickinson 
showed great form in the preliminary sweeps, scoring 29 out of 30. 
He started off very well, and at the end of the first 26 was 2 birds to 
the good, the score standing Dickinson 22, Thibault20. In the second 
string ThibaulC evened up matters, scoring 23 to Dickinson's 21. The 
latter again took the lead by breaking 21 to Thibault's 20 in the third 
string of i;5. 
When Thiboult lost his 3d target in his last string of 25 it was gen 
■eraliy believed that Dickinson would win, as he is a strong finisher . 
But to-day he proved to be the opposite, as he lost 4 targets out of 
his last 7." In the meantime Thibault lost only one more, and fin 
ished his last string with 23, which landed him a winner by 2 breaks, 
the final score being 86 to 84 
Woodson and Conner also shot 100 targets, their aggregate total to 
count against that of Dickinson and Thibault. Woodson scored 85 
amd Conner 79 
Dr. S. P. Collins and Mr. C. W. Rix, of Hot Springs, were also pres- 
ent and took part in the sweeps. In all six.eeQsnooters were on band , 
■Siad a very pleasant afternoon was spent. Trap shooting locally has 
rtaJjen the lead of all other sports, not excepting the national game, 
te>wn l aseball.
