ON LONG ISLAND. 
Giitlirie Defeats Money. 
Jan. .U.--L'aljt, A, W, Money and C. S. Guthrie, liotli llieluljefS 
pi the Carteret tUin Cliih, shot a race lo-»lay on that club's grounds 
at Garden City, Gnthric winning liy RS'ont of IDO. The conditions 
were 100 live birds per man, 80yds. rise; Carteret hmindfirv (about 
30yds.).. 
Guthrie is one of Itiany g-ood shotii that hail from I'lttsburg. 
Pa., and is a member of the Ilerron Hill Gun Cluli, of that city, a 
clnb that can put as strong a six or eight-men team of live-bird 
shooters into the field as any club in the country. His shooting 
name is Strong; hence he will not probably be as well known to 
readers of Forest aKo StRE.-VM as liis opponent on this occasion, 
Cajpt. Money. His score to-day, and his defeat of the captain, 
prove that he is able to point his gun well and accurately. Still, 
neither man seemed to be in his proper form. Both made slob- 
bering kills, and yet at the same time both caught hard drivers 
and twisters just at the right moment. The birds were an ex- 
cellent lot, but had no wind to help them. They left the trai) 
cjuickly, many of them towering into the air like black ducks, 
while others shot away low and twi,sting like English .snipe. Of 
cotirse they were all-blue, and were consetluently hard to See, the 
sky being dull and overcast, night coming on "almost before the 
match was finished, although the last bird was shot before 4:15 
P. AI.; just two hotirs from the start. 
Both men started poorly, Capt. Money in i^articnlar giving 
his opponent a lead of two at the end of the fifth round. Both lost 
their seventh birds, Guthrie's falling dead out of bounds. Guthrie 
was the next to miss, his seventeenth bird going out of bounds 
to die like his seventh bird. This reduced his lead to one bird, 
but Capt. Money quickly made it two again, liis eighteentli bird 
getting away. Then Guthrie lost his twenty-first, also dead out 
of bounds, and again Capt. Money lost his next bird, his twenty- 
second, thus for the second time being luiabie to avail himself of 
his opponent's losses. Guthrie's twenty-third also got away from 
him, and the shooters finished one bird apart at the end of the 
first series of 25, with 20 to 21 in favor of Guthrie. 
The shooting was better in the second series, each man scoring 
23. The loss of Mone3''s thirty-fourth bird was clearly the result 
of a piece of poor judgment as to the use of the second barrel, 
the captain holding it until the bird was almost over the boundary, 
and then putting it too far ahead of the bird, which was flying 
slower and slower; untouched by the second barrel, it fell against 
the house, stone dead. His other loss in this series was his thirty- 
sixth bird, a loss that can only be explained by undershooting. 
Guthrie's lost birds in this series were his thiny-eighth and forty- 
ninth birds, both of them extremely hot propositions. The scores 
at the halfnvay mark were Guthrie 44 to Money's 43. 
When G^ithrie went to the score for his fifty-first bird, his guti 
refused to pull oil, although the safety was properly adjusted. The 
gun was broken, and on being tried again, went otf all right. The 
referee gave it a lost bird very properly, as to all appearances it 
was the fault of the shooter in not opening his gun wide enough 
to cock it. On his fiftj'-second bird the gun worked all right, l)ul 
it refused again to work on being tried on tlie fifty-third bird. 
It was then found that the cocking mechanism was broken, and 
Mr. Guthrie had to get another gun. This being the case, and 
it being evidently the fault of the gun that Mr. Guthrie lost his 
fifty-first bird, Capt. Money would not accept the referee's decision 
on that bird, but asked Mr. Guthrie to shoot at another bird, 
although the loss as it stood made them on equal terms again. 
Strangely enough, Guthrie drew- for his fifty-first bird a screamer 
from No. 5 that fairly beat him out, and the goose egg remained 
where it was. In this series, the third, Capt. Money lost three 
birds. His fifty-fourth was hit hard, but ^tnaerneath; his sixty- 
second was a zigzagger from No. 5 that never seemed to be fazed 
by either load. His seventieth was a straight and low driver 
from No. 4 that left the trap like a streak and was away over the 
boundary before one could realize that it had left the trap. In 
addition to his fifty-first, Guthrie also lost nis sixty-third, sixty- 
sixth and seventy-first, his sixty-third bird being a very hard and 
fast driver from No. 4 trap. The seventy-fifth round thus saw 
them tied on 65 each. 
Capt. Money lost the race early in the last scries. His seventy- 
ninth, eighty-first and eighty-fourth birds all got away, although 
his eighty-fourth fell dead over the back boundary, the Captain 
again seeming to hold his second barrel far too long a time for 
safety. This gave Guthrie a commanding lead, and he showed 
his appreciation of that fact by smashing down his birds with 
a regularity that would have become almost monotonous were 
it not for some fine second-barrel work. His eighty-eighth bird 
fell dead out of bounds, and he also lost his ninety-fifth, while 
Capt. Money had been killing all his birds; thus with only fi\'c 
more birds "to shoot at, Guthrie was still one aheady-not much - 
of a margin if he should draw some hot ones in his last five. 
As it was, he .ulled his five, while Capt. Money lost another (his 
ninety-seventh), and the match by two birds. , _ 
The luck of the birds was certainly with Guthrie, the majority 
of the best birds falling to Capt. Money. Still, Guthrie drew lot.-^ 
of hard ones, and killed his share of them. George S. Mc.Mpiu 
looked after Capt. Money, but Guthrie handled himself. The 
double figure runs were; Money, 17, 12, 11 and 10; Guthrie, Ifi, 
14, 11 and 10. The traps fell as follows: 
No. 1. No. 2. JJo. 3. No. 4, No. 5. Total.

Elliott and Gilbert for the Du Pont TropUy. 
Jan. 15. — When Tim Elliott picked Saturday, Jan. 15, as the day 
on which he would defend the Du Pont trophy at Dexter Park, 
he made an unlucky selection, for a much more miserable day 
for shooting a 100-bird race at pigeons could hardly be imagined. 
There was steady rain falling for more than half the match; there 
was (ibsolutely scarcely enough breeze to make the thin smoke 
of" the Sphultze and the Du Pont powders leave the score; there 
was a pengtratipg rawness about the air that added to the gen- 
eral uncomfortableness, and everything was sodden with moist- 
ure. It was by no means a day for good birds; yet, with every- 
thing against them, the birds provided for the occasion by Mr. 
Lippack, proprietor of the shooting grounds, were a splendid )ot 
of flyers, and held a good proportion of screamers, or "extra fast 
birds," even for a lot of match birds. It was a great pity that 
the weather was not favorable — that is to say, Dright and frosty, 
and with a strong northwest wind. Had such been the case, it 
is hardly likely that anything like 96 out of 100 would have been 
scored on such a class of birds. As it was, the general comment 
Was that, all things considered, they were an excellent lot of 
birds. Our opinion most heartily indorses that of the majority; 
Under such disheartening weather conditions at the start, Elliott 
wished to have the match postponed until some future date, and 
interviewed Mr. H. P. Collins, the Du Pont agent in Baltimore, 
Md., on this point, Mr. Collins having be^n appointed referee of 
the match by the company, in exercise of the right of appoint- 
fnent reserved to them in the conditions governing the trophy. 
The "Bad Weather" Clause. 
I'll makitog a proposition to Mr. Collins to have the match post- 
poned on account of bad weather, Elliott said that he thoug;ht 
there was a "bad weaeher'' clatjse in the conditions governing 
contests for the trof)hy, adding that he thought tite weather of to- 
day was "bad." JVir. Collins, Unfortunately, had no copy of the 
conditions. an<l none was presented; unfortunately, also, no one 
seemed to have read the conditions carefully enough to remember 
anything al>out tliem. Therefore, as Gilliert wanted to shoot the 
match, and as there was nothing more than a steady rain falling, 
the referee called the match on time— 12:30 t'. M. 
On reading over the ■ conditions later— that is, before writing 
our report of the match— we found that there was just such a 
clause as Elliott referred to. It reads: "In case oi bad weather 
on day of match, match to take place on first favorable day there- 
after." (This clause is taken fi-om the matter furnished Mr. J. E 
ijuinotte, of IsLansas City, by Mr. E. S. Rice, the Du Pont repre- 
sentative m Chicago, relating to the history of the Du Pont 
trophy, published in FOREST and Stream of Nov. 6). Thus the 
"bad weather" clause is surely there, but we can hardly imagine 
'l^at- the w^eather of to-day was of the proper quality ot badness. 
Had there been a blizzard or something of that sort wandering 
around, that would have fittingly come under the head of "bad 
weather." But an ordinary " steady rain, with no wind, would 
hardly justify a referee in postponmg a match,' unless both con- 
testants were willing that he should do so. 
A Small Crowd on Hand. 
With such a state of affairs as regards weather, it is not to be 
wondered at that there was only a small crowd— say 150— of en- 
thusiasts on hand to see these two great shots fight out their fifth 
battle in the last three months. Among those present were John 
L. Le(|uin, secretary of the Hazard Pow-der Co., and B. II. Norton, 
of the same company; Dr. H. E. Colvin, Burlington, Vt. ; C. 
■Cowee, New Haven, Conn.; Ben O. Bush, Kalamazoo, Kjich.; 
Eon Erhardr, Atchison. Kan.; George P. tiriffiths, Hackensack, 
H. J.; J.. S. S. Remscn, Brooklyn, N. Y. ; F. VV . Place, New 
York; Prank Butler and Johnnie Baker, both well known to those 
who have visited Buffalo Bill's Wild West; B. W. Claridge, late 
of Baltimore, Md., but now with the W. R. A. Co. at New Haven, 
Conn.; . Fcrd Van Dyke, B. .A. Bartlett and C. W. Clark, all of 
the Winchester Repeating Arms Co.; Eddie Bingham, of Chicago, 
who looked after Fred Gilbert; A. G. Courtney, of the Remington 
Arms Co.; John L. Brewer, T. W. Morfey,' Garry Hopper, VV. 
Butcher, Frank Class, Tom Short, Dr. G. V. Hudson, and others. 
The Match Itself. 
.\s stated above, H. P. Collins was referee. The traps were 
pulled by l^ou Erhardt, while Billy Mills, the Dexter Park trap- 
per, trapped the birds, his small son doing the retrieving. .So 
well and quickly did these two do their work that, despite the 
fact that each contestant had to walk to and from the club house 
between sliots, the 200 birds were shot at in two hours and thir- 
teen minutes; exceedingly good work under the conditions. Ferd 
Van Dyke looked after Elliott, Eddie Bingham being Gilbert'.s 
second. The official score was keirt bv the representative of 
Forest and Stream, assisted by W. R. Hobart, ot the American 
Field. The boundary was 50yds., marked by an 18in. wire fence. 
Each man stood at 30yds. 
Eijuitt won the toss and went to the score first. He quickly 
lost two birds, his third, which fell dead against the board fence 
that surrounds the park, and his eighth,, a fast driver from No. 4. 
that left a few feathers behind it. GUbert looked to be going to 
have an easy thing of it. as he had killed all nis birds. He got a 
close decision on his seventh bird, but the referee is just as much 
entitled to his opinion as anybody. His tenth bird towered 
slightly, and although hit hard, circled back to the shooting- 
house, falling dead on the roof. Both men then settled down to 
business and did some good shooting, Elliott appearing to nave 
struck his gait. Gilbert next lost a bird, his twenty-fourth, a 
circling right quartering incomer that he scarcely got up to with 
either barrel, seeming to undershoot it with both barrels. This 
tied the score, and both rnen went into the second scries of the 
race with 23 apiece. Each scored 19 more birds before Elliott 
spoiled a run of 36 straight bv losing his forty-fifth bird. This 
bird, however,, was one of the kind "they all lose," a few feathers 
alone telling that there was any shot in his gun. Gilbert was 
smashing his birds down, and kept right on, finishing his second 
scries with 25 straight to Elliott's 24. The totals for the first 
.50 were: Ehiott 47, (jilbert 4S. In the third series Gilbert was 
the first to lose. He drew a circling right quarterer from No. 5 
trap in the sixty-fifth round that beat him out, spoiling a run of 
40 straight, and the score was again a tie, with 62 kills out of 65 
to each man's credit. Up to this point the race had been an e.x- 
ceedingly pretty one, and both men had made some very fine 
kills of extra fast birds. 
The turning point came in the sixty-seventh round, when Elliott 
lost his bird dead out of bounds, following this up with a loss of 
his seventieth, also dead out, and his seventy-fourth, a fast wdiite 
bird that he hit hard, but did not get in the center of his load. 
He was thus three behind and only 26 more birds to shoot at. 
Both men scored their seventy-fifth birds, and the score stood 
69 to 72 in.tiilberts favor. In his last string filliott lost three 
more birds, his seventy-seventh, eighty-fourth and eightv-seventh, 
all good, hard birds, his seventy-seventh being an exc'eptionally 
fast twister. All idea of Elliott's Winning out had gone some 
time before this, and the only- interest left in the match was as to 
how many Gilbert could score. A fast one in his ninety-seventh 
round beat him, and he landed with 96, a great total on such a 
class of birds— a total that was the result of some of the best 
shooting ever seen around here, several of his second-barrel kills 
being worthy of the apjilause they brought forth. 
Taken as a whole, Elliott's work was disappointing. He seemed 
to be .slow^er than usual with his first barrel, suffering greatly in 
comparison with the rapid first-barrel work of his opponent. At 
times early in the race he shot in his slap-dash style, and then 
he killed his - birds well. ,'\bout the middle of the second series 
he gave his friends a couple of scares, accounn'n^ for his thirty- 
ninth and fortieth birds by gallery woi'k with bis second shell. 
-Eoth these kills were on the phenomenal order, and drew fortit 
lots of applause. When the break came, after the sixty-seventli 
round, Elliott became painfully slow with his first at times, and 
appeared to be hunting for his birds. This slowness of his per- 
mitted many a bird to get hard that could otherwise liave been 
nipped near the trap. 
Gilbert, on the other hand, showed that he is all the great shot 
that he is claimed to be. He never varied in his time, and shot 
as well and as strongly toward the end of the 100 birds as he 
did at the start; if anything, he seemed to be centering his birds 
better in the last 25 than at any previous time fn the match. The 
chief feature in his shooting that seemed to please the spectators 
most was his wonderful second-barrel work. Many a time he lost 
a twister completely with the first, the barrel apparently going off 
when he was not itp to it; then, quick as a flash, he put in his 
second and crumpled up a bird that looked as if it was a sure 
enovigh lost bird. 
Luck of the Birds Even. 
In the matter of birds, the luck was about even. Marking on 
the score the "fast'' and "e.xtra fast" birds, we find that Elliott 
had 20 marked "fast" to Gilbert's IS; of "extra fast" birds, Elliott 
had 6 to Gilbert's 5. By "fast" birds we mean really very good 
birds, while "extra fast" denotes screamers or scorchers, whichever 
you choose to call them. On the other hand, Elliott had 16 birds 
vvith an incoming tendency, while Gilbert had but 10 of this kind. 
This total of only 26 birds with an incoming tendency out of a 
total of 200 show.s' plainly the class of birds furnished, particularly 
when the weather conditions are considered. 
Elliott's "fast" birds were: 2, 3, 13, 16, 17, 26. 4S, 51, 56, 57, 58, 
63, 65, 68. 70, 76, 84, 87, 92 and 04; "his "extra fast" birds were: 
S. 39. 40, 45, 77 and 82. 
Gilbert's "fast" birds were: 10, U, 16, 17, 20, .>4„ 42, 45, 46, 47, .57, 
63. 66, 73, SO, 92, 96 and 97; his "e.Ktra fast" birds were: 18, 21, 28, 
77 and 99. 
The traps fell as below: 
No. 1, No. 2. No. 3. No. 4. No. .5. Total. 
Elliott 25 2vS 22 14 11 100 
Gilbert 24 23 211 15 18 100 
49 51 43 29 29 200 
F"rora the above figures it will be noticed that Nos. 1 and 2 
traps were nulled just as often as the other three put together. 
No. 3 turned up about on an average once in every five times, but 
Nos. 4 and 5 were away below the average. The liick of the traps, 
if there was any on such a day, was equal, there being nothing to 
choose on either side. 
The double figure runs were: Elliott, 36, 21 and 13 unfinished; 
Gilbert 13, 40 and 31. 
Loads and guns: Elliott, Winchester repeating "trap" gun, 
'iVidrs. Schultze lir a Winchester Leader shell-;- Gilbert, L. C. 
Smith gun, 3^/^drs. scant of Du Pont Smokeless.
