BERGEN COUNTY TEAM WINS AT RED BANK. 
Oct. S.— The Bergen County Gun Club, of Hackensack, could not 
get together more than seven men for its team in to-day's match 
with the Riverside Gun Club at Bed Bank, With such a large mem- 
bership roll as ic possesses, it seems strange that the full number of 
ten men could not be secured. The day was very favorable for shoot- 
ing targets There was very little breeze, except occasional strong 
puffs while the team race was being shot. The sun was warm and 
bright; in fact, it was an ideal fall day. The background, however, 
was not by any means as good as we have seen. Too many trees in 
fall plumage hid the sky line, making the -targets hard to locate, 
still scores ruled very fair, the targets not being thrown over 45yds. 
The lack of a full team on the part of the visiting club was the 
more to be regretted since the home team had done everything to 
make the day an enjoyable one. A good lunch was provided free of 
charge, and every preparation had been made for a full day's sport. 
A change in the schedule of trains on the N, Y. & Long Branch R, R. 
(a change that only took place on Monday last, Oct. 5), caused lots of 
trouble to the visitors. It had been given out that the team would 
leave on the 10 A. M. train over the P. E. E., but when the members 
of the team attempted to make connections with that train at its sup- 
posed touching pointb, the attempt ended in a rank failure, the train 
having been taken off the schedule last Monday. The seven men 
representing the club, however, managed to get together at the River- 
side Gun Club's grounds at about 2 P. M. Fogarty went around by 
way of Atlantic Highlands, using a steamboat, a train, a stage and a 
trolley car to cover the distance between New York and Red Bank. 
Beverldgeand Binnock joined the 11:30 train over the C. R. R. of N. J. 
at Elizabethport. while Capt. Money, Ed Taylor and the remaining 
member of the team, made connections with the 12:10 train over the 
P. R. R. 
The team race was shot in squads of six men, 50 targets per man, 
three men from each team on a squad. The first squad was Phil 
Daly, Jr., Beveridge, Price, Billings, Mapps and Fogarty; No. 2 squad 
was: Oscar Hesse, Capt. Money, Ivins, Taylor, E. M. Cooper and Sin- 
nock. Watts and Banks brought up the rear, four others shooting 
along to fill up the squad. 
Watts was high man on either team, his 46 being made up of two 
23?. The favorite total was 44, five men out of the fourteen on the 
two teams scoring that number o£ breaks— Taylor. Fogarty, Sinnock 
and Banks for the Bergen County team, and Oscar Hesse for the 
Riversides. Beveride broke 43 after getting a good start with a 23 in 
the first 25. The result of the race was a win for the Bergen County 
team by 16 targets, the scores standing 294 out of 350 to •478. The 
winning team's average was 84 per cent.; the Riverside's average was 
79.4. 
Of those who shot along with the last squad to fill up, Jas. Cooper 
and Marryott scored respectively 40 and 29 In the first half Capt, 
Money ran 25 straight, and added 23 to it in the last half, scoring 48 
out of 60— but not for his team ! Hank White tried 25 targets in the 
first half and broke 16, Beveridge taking his place in the last half and 
breaking 21.

Penn Gun Club, of Morristown. 
MoRRisToWN, Pa., Oct. 9.— The fifth annual tournament of the Peim 
Gun Club, of Morristown, Pa., was held to-day on the grounds of the 
club at Oakview Park. The attendance of shooters at these tourna- 
ments has always been very large, but this time, for some unknown 
reason, there was a noticeable absence of visiting marksmen. 
Arthur Jenkins, the inventor of the magautrap, was present and 
kept the trap in good order all day. For the events at known angles 
a set of experts were used. 
147 Winston was among the visitors, and while he did not break all 
bis targets, he got orders for several thousand shells. Twenty events 
were on the programme, sixteen of which were shot off. Scores:

Bosedale Gun Club. 
Toronto. Can.. Oct. 6— The annual meeting of the Eosedale 
Gun Club was held at the Granite Club on Friday evening, the 1st 
inst., when the appointment of olfleers for the ensuing season took 
place, resulting in the unanimous re election of the following gentle- 
men: 
H. M. Pellatt, President; D. S. Barclay, Vice-President; D. L. Van 
Vlack, Captain; A. R Stell, Secretary. Mr. J. B. Miller having re- 
signed the position of treasurer, Mr. W. H, Gooderham was elected 
to fill that office. 
The meeting was very largely attended, all the members present 
feeling that in the establishment of the Eosedale Gun Club an oppor- 
tunity is at last afforded men who are admirers ot this class of sport, 
and who are opposed to shooting for cash prizes and sweepstakes, for 
enjoying a Saturday afternoon's recreation in a sociable and agree- 
able manner. The ensuing season is looked forward to with pleasant 
anticipation by the members, the captain having arranged for a 
number of friendly matches with outside clubs in Canada and the 
United States. There will also be club handicap matches for gold 
medals, three medals to be presented to each class. 
The magautrap for artificial bird shooting, which the club has just 
purchased, is the only one of the kind in Canada, and serves to indi- 
cate that the equipment of the club will at all times be of the most 
modern style obtainable. A. E. Stbel, Sec'y.

Two Amateurs, Albany, N. Y —A and B are shooting a match at 
live birds. A is at the score and calls "Pull:" with first asking, 
"Are you ready?" The puller Is rattled and does not pull immedi- 
ately. When the trap is opened and the bird flies out, A refuses to 
shoot on the ground that the trap was not pulled immediately after 
he had called •'Pulll" How should the referee decide? Ans. We 
should say it was a no-bird.

with black powder. Gold Dust is a semi-dense powder.
