The Elizabeth Shoot. 
. 22. — The management of the Elizabeth Gun Club's tourna- 
was not favored by the weather on either of the two days of 
lOot that ended to-day. The unpropitious state of the weather 
e early hours yesterday undoubtedly had a good deal to do 
keeping down the attendance to the vanishing point. It 
d like snow and it felt like snow all day, although the sky 
lear up for a bit about midday. 
first day's programme was exclusively for targets. Owing to 
N shooters being present, the programme was dispensed with, 
(some fancy sweeps decided. Nos. 1 and 2 were at 25 targets, 
t rule, $1 entrance, targets extra, two high guns. Nos. 3 and 
le two 25-target events, unknown angles. The money in No. 1 
livided between Brewer and Banks on 23 each; the same two 
ed the money in No. 2 with U. M. C, Jr., as a side partner, 
ree scoring 21. In No. 3 Brewer and Coleman divided on 22 
Beveridge, who shot for birds only, being high man with 23. 
0. 4 Brewer again took first with 23, Banks taking second with 
,L0-target event, snipe shooting, was also decided, Van Dyke 
ng first alone with 10 straight. Second money was cut up 
sen U. M. C, Jr., Woodruff and Banks on 9 each. In this 
each man walked parallel with the traps 12yds. from them out 
field. He carried his gun on his shoulder. The puller called 
k," and then pulled any trap he wanted to, the target going 
behind, in front of, or away from the shooter. This makes 
•y like field shooting, and was quite a novelty in the way of 
t shooting. Out West, in Chicago, this style of shooting is 
fancied, and there is really a good deal of fun in it. 
targets were thrown most erratically, the traps having been 
ior a long time. Some targets went away up into the sky, 
others skimmed low over the ground. Under the circum- 
:s. Brewer's shooting was very good work indeed. Van Dyke 
le cold, raw air considerably, and his shooting naturally suf- 
_ in consequence. U._ M. C, jr., was not in his best form; in 
Hie has struck a rut just now that he feels it hard to get out 
JPerhaps he is a little stale, and needs rest, although his ap- 
snce scarcely warrants such a suggestion, 
ow are the scores in the chief events shot on the first day:
