FOREST AND STREAM 
[Oct. 0, 1897. 
The Tfew Jersey State Shoot. 
TTwas a capital idea of the New Jersey State Sportsmen's Associ- 
ation to hold a tournament this fall, notwithstanding the short time 
at its dispogal for making preparations for the same Of course the 
time was too short for anyihingf like a bip tournament to result from 
its efforts: but a start has been made in the right direetioD, and with 
tjae experience gained at this tournament there should be something 
good in line for 1E98 
New Jersey has not had a State 5hoot since lf89; a clprieal error 
made it 1>84 in our last issue. It was in 1f89 that the New Jersey State 
Association for the Pro'ection of Fish and Game gave its last tourna- 
ment. The previous one, if we make no ir.istake, took place in 18*4. 
There is plenty cf material in New Jersey for a good State shoot, but 
the location chosen this year v^as hai-dly favorable for drawing it out. 
The location was forced upon the Association bv reason of the short- 
ness of notice; two months is not enough in which io prepare for a 
big shoot and get a large crowd together Clifton race track is sn 
excellent spot for a shoot but it is so large that even tifty shooters 
make no appearanee; and in so large a space there is little of the 
geniality that attaches to a shoot held upon club grounds of a medium 
size Then, again, Passaic is rather out of the way for a large portion 
of the State. There are plenty of ways of getting there, but none of 
them bring a shooter to the ground much before 10 in the morning, 
and that makes a late hour to start at this time of the year. Bu'; 
under the circumstances the Association cannot be blamed for choos- 
ing Clifton race track; it was either Clifton or nothing at all for 
189r. 
THE ATTENDANCE DISAPPOINTINa. 
The number of shooters present was disappointing to say the least. 
Where were all the Jersey tuen? We could name over a couple of 
score whom we confidenly expected to be on hand, but they have all 
to be marked missing Ttie absence of s(>me ma.y be put down to the 
difficulty they would have encountered In trying to get to Clifton, 
but the absence of others cannot be attributed to the same cause. 
Hard times and lots of shooting at home must be given ps the cause, 
we suppose. Anyway they didn't come and give the revivified asso- 
ciation a good send off We regret also to find that some little f . ic- 
tion still exists beiween Jersey dubs and this friction. Rmall as it is, 
must be overcome and perfect harmony restored before Jerse.y will 
be able to boast of an organization (qual to those of her sister States, 
New York and Pennsylvania. 
On the open set of traps there was some good shooting, and a fair 
number ot outsiders were gathered together; but still we expected 
more, and can only account for the comparatively small attendance 
by attributing it to lack of advertising ca'ised by lack of lime in 
which to do the same. The weather was simply perfect, except on 
the first day. Sept 28, when the thermometer in the early hours was 
down toward the frep zing mark. After that, however, more delight- 
ful early fall wea her could not have been made to order. The sun 
grew a tiifie hot toward midday on each of the succeeding days, but 
that could be undergone with pleasure at this season of the year. 
THREE SETS OF TRAPS WERE USED. 
Three sets of traps were used, three traps to each set. Sergeant 
system. This was the first time we have had the pleasure of shooting 
over a set of traps under this system, so it is proper to give our ideas 
upon it. We can safely say that it was the general opinion of all, 
even of those who objected to it at first, that it Is the best system for 
shooting unknown angle events ever devised Mr. Sergeant, we be- 
lieve, recommends three traps (et a yard apart. We found that 4ft. 
apart made it easier for the trappers to work the traps, and did away 
with all danger of their being hurt while filling traps. The extra foot 
apart, too, does not add much to the increased difficulty of shooting 
under this style, as compared with one trap, unknown angles. The 
shooting is certainly harder than with five expert traps, t ie angles 
one gets when standing at Nos 1 and 5 being often ex'remel.? acute, 
even when thrown within regulation limits. This style of shooting is, 
indeed, the magautrap made harder; it is shot in the same way, 'he 
shoo ers standing in a segment of a circle, whose diameter is IByds., 
with the middle trap as its center. 
The traps used were bluerock expert, and both empires and blue- 
rocks were trapped from them. The background was none of the 
best. To© many trees got in the way, while the fact that one stood 
uphill from the screen, made the chances of a sky hackgronnd for 
any target rather poor. The fall tints also in the weeds and trees 
made i often very hard to locate the flying targets. Low left quar- 
terers from No. 1 got away tar too often, while the same m 'y be s^id 
of sharp rinht-quarterers from No. 5. Still it was most interesting 
shooting, and many and loud were the favorable comments made 
upon the method of trapping targets under the Sergeant system. 
Manager Sbaner, of the Interstate Association, who managed this 
Bhoot, and who should be an authority on the question, was quite 
enthusiastic over it The scores- show that the snooting was hard; 
nothing tells the tale better than the scores, particularly when it is 
stated that there was practically no wind at all, except for a few 
hours on the opening day. 
THE OFFICIALS. 
The shoot was under the management of Elmer Shaner, and of 
course he made it go when he got the boys together. He look charge 
of the two sets of traps on which the State and the open events re- 
spectively were decided. A third set of traps had been placed in 
position at the last moment in order that those who desired it could 
get some shooting for ihe price of targets only. This set ot traps 
was under the direction of Treasurer Ike Terrill, but he had an easy 
time of it as a rule, very few shooters caring to shoot "for birds 
only." 
The cashier's office was in charge of J. K. Starr, of Philadelphia, 
assisted by Mr. Jones, of Passaic. These two gentlemen had no 
trouble in taking care of the shooters and paying them their money. 
Messrs. Moss, MuUer and Jewel were the pullers, while John fiock. 
The janitor of the Boiling Springs Gun Club, acted as squid hustler 
for the open events. Mr. Rock's intimate acquaintance with the ma- 
jority ot the shooters p^^esent made him an invaluable assistant At 
the State sec of traps, H.E.Taylor, son of Old Reliable Ta.y lor, an expert 
bicyclist, loosed after ihe bustling of the squads, and incidentally gave 
some exhibitions of trick riding in the large betting hall wtienever 
the boys could seduce him from his labors. The trappers were local 
hands, and, though new at the business, they soon settled down and 
trapped like veterans. Speaking of traps, it is worth mentionipg 
that we very seldom remember being at a shoot where there was less 
bother with the traps. Be it noted toat the.y were loaned by the In- 
terstate A.«80ciation for ihe occasion, and were the same traps tnat 
have thrown so many targets at the Interstate shoots during the past 
three or four years. 
GENERAL, AVERAGES. 
The tables of general averages for a State shoot. In the State 
events only nine men shot through the entire proeramme of SOO 
phots, team race and trophy events counted m. On the open set of 
traps fifteen men shot through. The averages made in these two 
programmes were as below:

First Day, Sept. 28. 
There was a decided touch of frost in the air thjs morning. Over- 
coats and heavy sweaters were at a premiutn, but most of the boys 
came well provided. It was not until midday that the sun's strength 
made itself felt; but when it did get in its work, it soon grew hot 
enough for a midsummer day. The mosquitoes were out in tore, 
but they were so busy ge'^ting warmed up after the chilly night, that 
tbf y seemed to entirely forget what appears usually to be their one 
object in life. This was somewhat strange, but not unpleasant 
The poor background soon made itself felt when shooting was once 
started. Sf'ores fell down, and several couldn't make out where they 
were shooting. The light on the State events set of traps was better 
tbftn 911 the o|)en set, but that vas pot saying much. Somehow or

other, it seemed impossible to get the targets up high enough to have 
a sky background, unless they were thrown like skyrockets So they 
were kept down to about regulation height, and straights were 
scarce. In No. 1, open, there was not a single 15 straight. In No 2, 
19 WHS high in a 20-target event; in No. 3, 25 targets, four 218 were 
tied for first plane. Three 15s were made in No. 4. but only one 20 
was made in No. 5. In No. 6, Glover was the solitary 25, tl ree f 4s 
being in second place. In Nos 7 and 8, there were respectively two and 
three straight scores This speaks for itself when one considers the 
caliber r f the shooters present. Heikes wasinHrst place for the day, 
with 11 targe's lost out of 161 shot at; Glover came next with 13 los"r. 
Banks was third, while Fanning and Dickey tied for fourth and fifth 
places. 
On the S'ate programme the chief event was the individual cham- 
pionship of the State at targets. Colin Wise and Justus von Len- 
gerke tied for t e trophy on 24 each out of 2S; on the shoot off, Von 
L^neerke won the cup. In the merchandi^e event, No. 5 in the table, 
Frank Hall, who f hoots under the name of Hyde, won the Smith pun 
presented by Capt. Money by making 25 straight. Geoffroy was 
alone iQ the second class of tips wi»h 21. Geoffroy also won first 
average in the btate-events, with Capt. Money in second place.

On the shoot off at 10 targets. Von Lengerke won with 10 to 8, 
Second Day, Sept. 29. 
After a warm night, shooters knew not what to expect on the race 
track. It was, in face, a very warm da.y, and the heat was at times— 
particularly between the hours of 3 and 4 P, M —almost unbearable 
without some shelter from the sun's rays. Not a breath of air was 
stirring, and had there been a better background, scores would have 
ruled quite high. On the open set of traps, straights were as scarce 
to-day as yesterday. In each of the 15 target events there was only 
one straight— Fulford and Geoffroy, respectively. In No 2, Hawkins 
and Van Dyke rapped out 20 straight; 147 made 25 straight in No 8, 
there being two 21s in second place. In Nos. 5 and 8 there were two 
20s, but in No. 7 there was only one, while Van Dyke was alone in 
No 6 with a 25 straight. 
Heikes won first average with 12 targets lost. Banks being second 
with 13 losses to his name, 6 of them in one event. Dickey was third, 
with 147 and Fulford tied for fourth and fifth places. Fulford's 15 
straight in the first event on this day, added to his run of over 40 
straight on the previous evening, made the best run of consecutive 
breaks for this tournament. 
On the State set of ^raps, the team race and the contest for the 
Blenderman cup occupied the bulk of the attention of the shooters. 
The Blenderman cup was given by Jake Blenderman on the condition 
that it should be awarded to the individual high score in the team 
race. As it turned out eight tied for the trophy ori 22 each. As the 
conditions called for a shoot-off at 50 targets per man, this gave added 
interest to the destination of the handsome tropt>v. Van Dyke, 
Geoffroy, Sinn6ck. Keller, Dutchy, Schorty, Carl von Bengerke and 
Palmer, the men in the tie, accordingly shot of the tie. The scores 
were as follows: 
Van Dyne and Geoffroy 46. Sinnock 45, Keller, Dutchy, Schorty and 
Von Lengerke 43, Palmer 32. 
Thus Van Dyke and Geoffroy had to shoot off once more. This 
shoot-cff resulted in an easy win for Van Dyke, the scores standing-: 
Van Dyke 47, Geoffroy 39. 
In the team race the Cbmax team came out first, as will be seen by 
referring to the scores given below;

Third Day, Sept. 30. 
The thi'd day of the New Jersey State shoot was blessed with as 
fine weather as had prevailed on the first two days. In fact, the 
weather was too fine for really good live- bird shooting. The sun was 
as warm as in August, and scarcely a breath of air was stirring at 
any time of the day. The result was, ot course, comparatively easy 
shooting and consequent high scores. Some really good work was 
done by Morfey. Van Dvke, Noel Money, etc. Morfey won the Indi- 
vidual State championship with 22 straight, and Noel Money was only 
ore behind him. Hank White, a veteran from Little Silver, also ran 
a fast heat for the championship. 
A late start was made on this day, it being nearly 11 o'clock before 
the first gun was fired, still a tf tal of 943 were trapped. 
STATE EVENTS, SEPT. 30. 
The two events on the programme for State shooters were the indi- 
vidual championship and the three-men team championship. The 
first was shot for under the following conditions: 15 birds per man, 
all at t8yd.=.; winner to take badge; all money in the purse to go to 
the last winner. 
T. W, Morfey, of Lyndhurst; Noel Money, of Oakland, and Hank 
White, of Little Silver, tied for the trophy on 15 straight. They shot 
off, miss and-out, Morfey winning with Ui straight ; Noel Money lost 
his 21st bird, and White his 6th. White's one-barrel work was re- 
markable; 17 out of the 19 birds scored to him did not need the sec- 
ond barrel. The scores in this event were as below, 517 birds being 
trapped in the State events:
