FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Nor. 6, 189?. 
ing the September shoot for the E. C. cup on his club's grouuds, was 
EFoeted with evident pleasure by those present at the cup shoot on 
Saturday last, Oct. 30, when lie put in his appearance at the grounds 
with his eyes covered with dark glasses. Ic will be a pleasure to all 
Mr, Jackson's friends to know tbat his sight is apparently not in- 
jured, although the pupil of the right eye is oblong instead of round. 
He returns to business this week, after a two weeks' residence in a 
hospital and a three weeks' convalescence. His grit is well shown by 
the fact that the accident; has not put a slop to his preparations for a 
trip to the Klondike region next spring He has gotten up a party 
that will start from this city shortly after the new year. The trip 
will he made as follows: By sea to New Orleans, thence by the 
Southern Pacific R. R to San Francisco, and from San Francisco to 
Dawson City by the all-water route. 
At the annual convention of the New York State Association, to be 
held on Dec. 9, the trap-shooting and the game and fish protective 
interests will be separated into cvpo distinct bodies. This plan was first 
mooted at the meeting held in Auburn last June, and met with very 
general approval at that meeting. We understand that it is proposed 
to change the title of the present association to one that reads as fol- 
lows: "New York State Fish, Game and Forest Protective League." 
The Association stands ready co make over all its riglit and title in 
the Dean Ricbmond trophy and in the Lefever medal to the trap - 
shooting association or league that wUl be formed from the clubs 
mterested in tbat sport, that are now members of the present asso- 
ciation, or who may become new members of the new association or 
league, for the furtherance of the art of trap-shooting in the State of 
New York. This meeting on Dec. 9 is a most important one to the 
trap-sbooters of t;he State; they should see to it that their clubs are 
well represented at such meeting. 
It is getting high time that the State Sportsmen's Association of 
New Jersey was up and doiDg. It should have held a meeting during 
the recent State shoot and have decided upon a place where the 
annual tournament and meeting of 38t8 can be held. The State sboot 
this year suffered from lack of time in which to make adequate pre- 
parations tor the same. This should not be allowed to happen agalu, 
or the organization would be in danger af disintegraiiOQ through loss 
of interest. A general meeting should be called by the president at 
an early date to consider next year's tournament; to choose a place 
for holding same, and to receive a report of tbe financial results at- 
tained at the recent shoot. Don't let the New Jersey State Sports- 
men's Association follow in the.footsteps of its predecessor, the New 
Jersey State Association for the Protection of Fish and Game, and 
die a lingering death. 
B. Waters was with us at the Brooklyn Gun Club's shooton Oct. 28, 
and did some capital shooting for one who seldom takes a gun in his 
bands. He did not do so well in the big event, but he had flred oyfv' 
lOU shots previously, and was tiring fast. The talk at this shoot, as 
frequently happens around this city, turned on M. Herrington, of Che 
W-ii. Powder Co., who is at present in the vicinity of the Klondike, 
or thereabouts. Somebody asked Waters why he didn't go to the 
Klondike. "They have no use for a kennel editor up there," said he, 
"they are not inquiring just now into tne pedigree of a dog before 
they cook him!" 
The Pawling, N. Y„ Rod and Gun Club will hold its first annual 
tournament on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 25. The occasion will also be 
a house-warming for its new club house. The programme issued for 
the day calls for IBO targets at an aver-ege entry fee of 10 cents per 
target. There are five lO-target races. $1 each; three 15-target events, 
;$1.50; two SO-target events, one and one SU-target event, with 
.entrance fees of g'.?.50 and $;1, respectively. Anybody wishing a pro - 
gramme should address IVlorcon Haynes, Sec'y, Pawling, N. Y. 
iMr. Royal Robinson, secretary of the Limited Gun Club, of Indian- 
apolis, Ind.. writes us as follows: "Mr. E. H. Tripp, of the Limited 
Gun Club, has challenged Mr. M. W. Thompson for tbe Grand Hotel 
cup, emblematic oi: the amateur championship of Indiana, Kentucky, 
Ohio, Michigan and Illinois. Mr. Thompson has accepted, and names 
Crawfordsville, Ind.. and Nov 4 as the place and time for the match, 
Which is to be at 100 targets, known traps and unknown angles." 
The proposed four-handed match between George S. McAlpin and 
Louis Duryea on the one team, and Edgar GiDbs Murphy and R. A. 
Welch on the other, is hardly likely to come off after all. The Mc- 
Alpin-Duryea end is all ready, but tbe other side remains to be heard 
from. As we understood it, the proposition for the match came from 
the Welcb-Murphy side; for that reason we looked upon the match 
as good as made, knowing that the Greater New York team was 
ready and willing to shoot. 
There are always a lot of tournaments— both at live birds and tar- 
gets—arranged for Thanksgiving Day of every year. There are also 
many shooters who are unable to make up their minds as to where to 
go and what to do on that date. Club secretaries and promoters of 
tournaments would confer a favor on such shooters, and would also 
do tbeir shoots some good, by sending us, as early as possible, full 
particulars regarding these holiday shoots. 
Louis Duryea leaves on Thursday of this week, Nov. 4, for the Tur- 
tle Lake Cliib in Michigan. Deer and ruffed grouse will probably 
lament his appearance in tbose quartei-s. On his return, some time 
)n December, he will shoot a match on tbe Riverton grounds with 
\ale Dolan for 81,000 a side. The match nas been arranged and will 
sili.rely take place. Had it not been for Mr. Duryea's early departure 
fo* the West, the matcb would have been decided this week. 
Justus von Lengerke has forfeited his right to the cup he wop at the 
recent State shoot in New Jersey, and also to the title o£ State Cham^ 
pion.ship tbat goes witn tbe cup. £ erd Van Dj ke challenged him for 
.ihecppas soon as the first snoot foric decided that cup and title 
went to Mr. Von Lengerke. V an Dyke, therefore, stands ready to 
defend the pmblem ana the title against any resident of the State of 
New Jersey, who is also a member of tbe State organization. 
For the next sis: weeks or so shooting matters, so far as trap work 
5s concerned, will be rather quiet. Ail kinds of game will be in sea- 
iS£)ja and it is scarcely worth wbile getting up a target shoot just now, 
seftjil the boys are away in tbe woods whenever tbey can spare a day 
JroBi iChe desk or warehouse. Reports of "plenty of birds' ' come in 
ifrom aWhanas, and we Enow persbpally of several very nice bags 
paying been made. 
Fred Quimby has gotten back f rom his trip through the West. He 
says he nas no kick coming from a business siandpolnc, but regrets 
ippflt he was unable to be present at the New Jet sey State shoot at 
<>!lif tpB to defend his claims to the chainpionship of the State of JJew 
Jersey,

ON liONG ISLAND' 
JOHK WRIGHT'S FIELD DAT. 
Oct. 2S.— The Brooklyn Gun Club, under the able management of 
John S. Wright, gave a most enjoyable one day's shoot on the above 
ciate The attendance was more than satisfactory, conclusively 
proving Mr. Wright's popularity with the trap-shooters of New 
York and vicinity. Among those present were: Tom Keller, of the 
Peters Cartridge and King's Smokeless companies; Ferd Van Dyke, 
oftheW. R. A Co ; Louis Duryea, Geo. S. McAlpin, B. Waters, Dr. 
Little, W. and John B. Hopkins (members of the Aqueduct Gun Club, 
L I.), Henry Bramwell, L. H. Scbortemeier, Geo. H. Piercy, Dick 
Phister, W. M. Sanders. L. C. Cornell, H. Van Siclen, and Billy MUls, 
the boss trapper of Dexter Park. Quite a large number of spectators 
were also present. Tbe club set out a free lunch that was highly 
appreciated, wbile a box of cigars was literally out of sight when 
everything was over. 
The main event was a 30-target handicap for a silver tea service. 
In this event the handicaps were all arranged with the idea of per- 
mitting everybody, scratch men and all, make 30 if possible. This 
system of handicapping is the fairest, but we think it should be an- 
nounced beforehand. If a probable scratch man knew that he had a 
chance to retrieve a miss and thus make a "possible," it would make 
a difference in his shooting after a miss. 'The winner proved to be 
the popular Tee Kay, who had -3 extra targets to shoot at, With his 
allowance he broke S9; Van Dyke, who had 2 extras, coming within 1 
of tying him. Banks also had 2 extras, but could not tie, as he only 
broke 26 out of m. Plain Bill broke 35 out of 30. W. Hopkins and H. 
Van Siclen, both had a chance to tie Keller, but were unable to do so, 
withdrawing as soon as it was not possible for them to win. 
Several sweeps were also shot during the afternoon, quite a large 
number of targets being thrown. Van Dyke's shooting was worthy 
of note. The magautrap worked very well indeed, and was the sub- 
ject of much favorable comment. John Wright "touched the but- 
ton," while John Regan and W. Paterson looked after getting up the 
squads and the running off of the events. Below are the scores of 
the most important events in detail: 
Handicap for silver tea-service, $2 entrance. Extra targets allowed.

* Keller and Van Dyke shot out their allowances. W Hopkins and 
Van Siclen withdrew after shooting part of their handicaps when it 
was impossible for them to tie Keller. None of the others shot out 
their allowances, as ic was impossible for them, if they broke every 
arget, to tie Keller with 29. 
A team race between six-men teams, captained by Van Dyke and 
Banks respectively, was also shot. This resulted in an easy win for 
Banks's team by 81 to 72. The winning team averaged just 90 per 
cent. Scores; 
Banks's Team. Van Dyke's Team.

The last event of all was a race at lO targets, entrance 50 cents, for 
a silk umbrella. The scores were : Van Dyke, Bramwell and Banks, 
10: Dr. Littlefield 9, G. S. McAlpin and W. Hopkins, 8; Duryea and 
Cornell, 7; J. B. Hopkins and Woods, 6; Sanders 4. 
The ties on 10 shot off at 10 targets, with the result that Van Dyke 
and Banks each soared 9 to Bramwell's 8. It was getting very dark, 
but the lie was shot off again between the two 9s. In this shoot off. 
Van Dyke missed his Ist target and Banks his 2d, both tying again on 
9. In the ihird shoot-off. Banks lost, his 1st target and Van Dyke lo»t 
his 5th ; thus they tied again on 9 out of 10. In the fourth shoot-ofiE, 
Banks lost bis 9th, but Van Dyke ran straight and won the umbrella. 
After having it presented to him, he very courteously tendered it to 
Mr. Henry Bramwell, who had been in the first tie: Mr. Bramwell ac- 
cepted it in tbe spirit in which it was offered. A very pleasant con- 
clusion was thus arrived at for a very pleasant afternoon's spo't. So 
dark was it when the final ties for the umbrella were being shot, that 
George McAlpin, who was refereeing, had to go down on hands and 
knees to get the targets agaiast the skyline. Van scored 47 out of 
his 50, including the four series of 10 tie targets. 
Sweepstakes shot both before and after the main event resulted as 
below, all events being decided on bluerocks thrown by the club's

Carteret's .satcrdat. 
Oct. 30.— The attendance ot shooters at the Carteret Club's Satur- 
day shoot on the above date was aeeidedly flattering to the shooting 
coinmittee. Sixteen shooters put in an appearance. Event No. i 
was at five birds; this was finally divided between McAlpin, Remsen 
and L. T. Duryea. No. 2 was a cup shoot, 15 birds, lies at 5 birds, 
four high gutis. Remsen and Gilbert tied for the cup with 15 straight; 
on the shoot-off Remsen won. Si?: others scored 14, Jones losing his 
last bird. The birds to-day were not up to the usual Carteret stand-

dexter park's shoot. 
Oct. S7.— Proprietor Lippack, of Dexter Park, annoimced a live- 
bird shoot for the above date, the main event to be al5-bird handi- 
cap, $10, four moneys. Had Mr. Lippack announced the conditions 
under which tbe handicaps would be awarded, it is safe to say that 
the entry list of ten would have been more than doubled. As the sys- 
tem devised by Mr. Lippack is somewhat original, it is as well to give 
it here: "No one allowed inside of 35yd3., but everybody allowed to 
choose his own handicap I" When some one asked him what he 
meant, he replied: "Oh, well! Whenever they're handicapped they 
kick all the time. I'm going to let them choose their own marks, and 
then they can't kick at anybody but themselves." It looked very 
strange to see such good shots as W. H. Lair and Dr. G. V. Hudson 
walk right in to the SSyds. mark and stay there. The scores in this 
event were as below:

THE E. C. CUP SHOOT AT HACKBNSAOK. 
Oct SO.— The regular monthly shoot for the E. C. cup at the Bergen 
County Gim Club's grounds, at Hackensack was held this afternoon. 
Only eight shooters put in an appearance, one of them being Mr. 
Rose, a guest of the club, and a member of the staff of Recreation. 
Mr. Rose shot along with the rest of the boys, making a successful 
debut at the traps. The afternoon was raw and chilly, the clear sky 
and bright sun of the forenoon being replaced by dull clouds that 
threatened snow. It was not until almost sundown that the clouds 
cleared off and the sun streamed forth again. With a dull sky and 
the yellow of the dying reeds on the Hackensack meadows, added to 
the varying elevations and angles at which the targets were thrown, 
the shooting was by no means easy. 
Ed Everett, the winner, shot very well for a man with 11 extra tar- 
gets to shoot at. He scored 30 out of his #rst 25, and then seeiped 
likely to go all to pieces in the second series, starting oil with four 
Josses out of his first 5 targets. He pulled himself together like a 
veteran, and raa 19 out of his last 30. This gave him a total of 40 and 
11 more to shoot at. Both he and Banta didn't do a thing with their 
allowances. Banta ran his 12 straight while Everett oply lost 1 ot his 
11. He thus finished with a highest possible while Banta tied Banks 
for second place. Everett shot a Wiijchester '97 model and 54frs. of 
W-A ; Banta shot one of the Winchester Copipany's new "brush guns." 
The race was refereed by Louis Piercy, the champion young target 
shot of the Endeavor Gun Club. Louis was trying his new Remington 
ejector, but was short of shells. He showed up well in the practice 
Skveeps shot before and after the main event. . Ed Taylor, of the 
Laflui & Rand Company, wap out of trim, and was also trying some 
experiments, a combination that can never be productive of satisfac- 
tory results. Piatt Adams was at his old game of "flinching"; at 
times he would take a spurt, and run a nice string of breaks in good, 
quick time; then he'd "fudge" on target after target, often breaking 
tnem "away out yonder," but more ofteu getting a cipher to his cre- 
dit. Dr. DeWolf , the oply man with two wins to his credit for this 
cup (three wins constituting absolute ownership), lost his flrst target 
every time he went to the score. He broke 31 out of each s5, rtmning 
the last 15 of his second string straight. Tophtz was shooting a gun 
that was IJ^in. too long in the stock for him; the result is evident in 
his score; but the score does noc tell ho* utterly he pulverised the 
low and sharp left-quarterers from No. 3 trap. The scores m the cup 
shoot were as below :
