Toronto C. C 
One of the most interesting and pleasing functions ever held 
by the Toronto C. C- was its annual dinner, which was enjoyed 
on Jan. 20 at the cozy club house by a host of the canoeists and 
their friends. The home of the paddlers was most artistically deco- 
rated for the occasion with sailing ensigns of all descriptions, 
while the trophies won by the club were used to help brighten the 
place for the evening. 
Cora. C. H. Wilson presided at the dinner, where about 300 
guests enjoyed the excellent viands provided. Representatives 
from sister clubs and other athletic organizations were present, 
the Buffalo C. C. being represented bv Com. S. A. Lansing, F. 
B. Matthews and J. P. Pears; Brockville C. C, W. S. Jones and 
J. H. Richardson; Don R. C, J. O'Neil; Royal Canadian Y. C, 
Geo. McMurrich and A. Stewart; Argonaut R, C, A. E. Thomp- 
son. The Toronto R. C, Queen City and other clubs" representa- 
tives were also in attendance. Many letters of regret were read 
from clubs unable to be represented. 
The fine entertainment provided by the Toronto C. C. was 
heartily enjoyed by the hundreds present, and included a duer 
bv Stutchhury and Wenborne; s^ng, W. N. Hayes; comic song, 
Chas. McReath; banjo trio, Kidner, Taylor and TCidner; comic 
song, Harry Brown; bayr.net contest, Ptes. Stewart and Wasson, 
won by Wasson; song. Dr. Richardson; bo.xing bout. Hathway 
bovs: song, H. Shaver, and comic selections by Bert Harvey. 
The dinner was certainly the finest ever given by the Toronto 
C. C, the proceedings terminating about 3 o'clock this morning. —

The following item in the Courier, of Otttimwa, la., is clipped 
from its issue of Jan. 22: "It is said that the great John L. 
Brewer will be backed against Gilbert while he is in the East. 
For the last ten years or more Brewer has reigned the king of all 
pigeon shooters, and rightly, too. But the Brewer of to-day and 
the Brewer of even five years ago are different men. He should 
let Gilbert alone now, for Gilbert is shooting as good and possibly 
a little better than Brewer ever did, and certainly better than 
Brewer is now. Charlie Budd beat Brewer, and didn't have to 
kill 'em all either, and that was when the Captain was in his 
prime. Gilbert would have an easier task now than Charlie did 
then, and he is probably a little better prepared to do the work 
than was Budd. Brewer in refusing to shoot Gilbert a match 
for $250 and wanting to make the stake $1,000 showed that he 
wanted the larger sum simply because he thought that amount 
of money might rattle the Iowa boy a little. He reasoned that 
it might make the country boy a little too careful, therefore a 
little slow. But if John L. Brewer tackles Fred Gilbert when he 
(Gilbert) is not stale from incessant work, he'll get beat, as will 
any one else now known to the trap-shooting world." Like 
many other people, the Ottumwa writer makes a mistake when 
he thinks that Gilbert ever offered to shoot a match for $250 with 
Brewer. The facts are these: Brewer has some friends in Phila- 
delphia who are anxious to see whether, as the Ottumwa gentle- 
man asserts is tlie case, "the Brewer of to-day and the Brewer 
of even five years ago are different men." It is probable that 
the Ottumwa writer who makes the above statement bases his 
calculations on the fact that Brewer is five years older now than 
he was five years ago; in that he makes a mistake. It's an 
unpleasant fact that we all have to recognize sooner or later, 
whether vi'e live in New York or Ottumwa. Until, however, 
the two men meet, on even terms, mind you, it mu.st always be 
a moot question as to who is king pin. We would also call 
attention to the fact that Brewer is not in a position to back 
himself; he has to do what his friends tell him to do. They 
say, and we know that they mean what they say, that they will 
find sufficient money to make it interesting for the backers of 
that really fine shot, Fred Gilbert, provided the match can be 
shot somewhere near Philadelphia or New York, so that they 
can see the two men come together. It seems to us that a good 
chance to bring the match to a head and do away with a lot 
of talk that means nothing would be to arrange a match, or a 
series of matches, between the two men, to take place at Balti- 
more during the coming tournament of the Baltimore Shooting 
Association, April 5-8. Mr. H. P. Collins, of the Du Pont Pow- 
der Co., is a prominent member of this association, and we nope 
that he will see if something can't be done in this line. But re- 
member t'-.is" Gilbert has never challenged Brewer. The latter, 
however, has challenged Gilbert for a match for cash, but was 
told to challenge for a cup, and that then the side bet would 
be forthcoming. That means that the match would have to be 
shot in Chicago; at least, that's the way it looks to us, judging 
from precedents. But Brewer's backers want it somewhere nearer 
home. 
The following from the London Field of Jan. 22 is interesting: 
"There is every likelihood of a team being organized to pay a 
visit to America in July or August, to' shoot against some of the 
American club teams. Judging by the scores published in the 
American papers, the home team would seem to have little chance 
of success, especially as only one barrel is used. There is a 
strong opinion, however, that the flight of the bird is not so 
difficult as it is here; but whether this be so or not, the fact 
remains that the extraordinary scores that are of such frequent 
occurrence at American clubs have never been repeated this side 
of the Atlantic. If the American clubs could send a team over 
here to take part in an international contest at the championship 
meeting, to be held in June or July next, it would be certain to 
create a large amount of interest; and our American friends may 
rest assured they would receive a very hearty welcome. Once 
started the contest would probably become an annual affair, and 
lead to a very interesting series of matches, If it is not possible 
to arrange for a visit for the coming championship meeting, the 
fact of an English team journeying to America would proliably 
act as a stimulus for one being organized for the succeeding year." 
An international match such as suggested above would be highly 
interesting, but as the quality of the birds on the two continents 
is so entirely dissimilar, there is every reason to believe that 
Americans would win at home and meet defeat in Europe. It 
would be very hard to get really representative teams together to 
cross the Atlantic, and we must confess to being rather sceptical 
about these team races ever being brought off. Anj^ay, July 
and August are poor months for trials of skill on pigeons; Octo- 
ber to April would be better. For the information of the London 
Field ve might add that Americans as a rule possess double- 
barreled guns, and need and use the second barrel quite often! 
A friend in Boston, Mass., sends us the follovi'ing account of 
the annual meeting and dinner of the Boston Shooting Associa- 
tion: "The annual meeting and dinner of the Boston Shooting 
Association was held Monday evening, Jan. 24, at the United 
States Hotel, President Cant. E. B. Wadsworth presiding. The 
usual routine of business was transacted and the following officers 
elected: President, Capt. E. B. Wadsworth; Vice-President, 
William Pray; Secretary, W. A. Sanborn; Treasurer, C. A. Ells- 
worth; Captain, O. R. Dickey. The Board of Directors is made 
up of the above-named officers, together with Dr. Bell and Wm. 
Allison. At the close of the business ses.sion the party proceeded 
to the banquet hall, where a pleasant hour was passed in dis- 
posing of the good things with which the tables were weighted, 
followed by two hours of social enjoyment. Amid the popping 
of corks and the smoke of the cigars the several events of the 
year were again shot over, and on this occasion every man made 
a clean score. After the traps had all been pulled and the last 
bird thrown, the members dispersed, each with the new adage 
lippermost in his mind — " 'Twere better never to have lived at 
all than to have lived and not belonged to the Boston Shooting 
Association." * 
We have been asked to define more accurately just what was 
meant by the resolution, passed at the recent meeting of the 
Interstate Association, prohibiting paid experts, manufactvirers' 
agents, etc., from competing for cash at the tournaments held in 
1898 under the auspices of the Association. The following classes 
of shooters are affected by the resolution: The expert or semi- 
expert who is paid to shoot a certain gun, powder and_^ shell; 
the "manufacturers' agent," a peculiar class — that is, the men 
who receive their shells or guns free of charge, in consideration 
of their services as advertising agents b}' the work they do with 
the said shells or guns; also in the latter class are the men who 
go to tournaments for the sake of looking after and advertising 
the business of their employers. We take it that the latter clause 
includes "all those who are connected with any firm that manu- 
factures guns, powder, shells, targets or traps," who are es- 
pecially referred to in the resolution mentioned above. The 
casual gift of 250 shells or 51bs. of powder, "just to try it," would 
not, in our opinion, constitute a man a manufacturers' agent. 
Were that the case, there'd be very few left to shoot for the 
purses ! 
We learn that a change has been made in the list of officers 
and directors of the Limited Gun Club, of Indianapolis. Mr. 
Royal Robinson has resigned as secretary and director. The 
vacancies have been filled by Mr, John M. Lilly as director and 
Mr. H. T. Hearsey as secretary. 
The discovery of gold In the valley of the Yukon has robbed 
the East of more than one good trao-shooter. The last departure for 
the far West is Hood Waters, of Baltimore, Md. Mr. Waters is, 
however, not going to Alaska, as we understand it, but is to be 
connected with the Dyea & Dawson Transportation Co. at that 
comoany's office in Seattle, Wash. Hood— for that was the name 
he shot under— will be a distinct loss to the trap-shooting world 
on this side of the Alleghanies, and no tournament of the Balti- 
thore Shooting Association will seem complete without the blood 
mustache, the blue eyes, blue sweater and gray slout;h hat of 
Hood, one of the very best amateur trap-shooters in this part of 
the Stales. As a note of warning to our Seattle friends of the 
trap, we would say to them: "Take him to your heart, but dop't 
try to beat him on targets, for the odds are more than 10 to 1 
that you can't do it." 
Paul North was discussing the probable programme for the 
Cleveland Target Co.'s shoot the other day. He told us that, as 
announced, it was his intention to bar paid men, manufacturers' 
agents, etc, from competing for the amateurs' money. The 
company will, however, throw targets free for this class of shoot- 
ers, and will also most probably run a separate cashiers' office 
for sweeps for the barred classes, giving them a chance to get up 
a little excitement among themselves. Any amateur, too, who felt 
like it could enter in the "professional sweeps" and the "amateur 
sweeps" at the same time, his one score in that event counting 
for both. Of course, this plan may be modified considerably, 
but when we saw Paul North last the above was about what hts 
idea was on the subject. 
Our Pawtuxet, R. I., correspondent writes us that, as a result 
of a flying trip paid to Providence, R. I., recently, the trap- 
shooters of "Little Rhody" will have a chance of seeing a magau- 
trap shortly. He also tells us that there will be two new cham- 
pionship contests started in his State this spring, viz., a two- 
men team championship and an individual championship. The 
trophy for the latter contest will be presented by the C. F. Pope 
Co. — that is, by Messrs. Root and Rand. Both contests will be 
open to all residents of the State, just as the "five-men team 
championship pennant" now held by the Rhode Island Trap- 
Shooting Association is open to all clubs in that State. 
W. Fred Quimby will now be glad to talk to you on the subject 
of the new target that he will handle for its manufacturers. This 
target is to be known as the "White Flyer," deriving its name 
from a clearly defined ring of white in place of the usual yellow 
circle that marks other targets. The target is manufactured by 
the Western Target Co., of East Alton, Mo., and is ready for the 
market, and Fred Quimby promises us that w^e shall soon have 
a chance of testing its breaJcing qualities. Without having seen 
them actually thrown from a trap as yet, or having tried" them 
with l%oz. of No. 1V~, we cannot say much about them; but 
they look decidedly "gamy." 
The Apgar benefit shoot at Orange Lake, Newburgh, N. Y., 
was a decided success, both socially and financially. There 
mieht have been more shooters on hand had the weather been 
at all favorable, but we doubt if there could have been more 
shooting or more fun. The Sin. of snow that covered the surface 
of Orange Lake put a stop to all ice-boat racing; this in itself 
was a great disappointment, but it was not sufficient to put a 
damper on the enthusiasm of those who g_athered together at 
Pine Point to shoot targets and live birds on Jan. 26-27. 
The Magautrap Gun Club, of Findlay, O., held its annual meet- 
ing early in January and elected the following list of officers for 
1S98: President, Frank Gillespie; Vice-President, William Pres- 
cott; Secretary-Treasurer, O. B. Marvin; Assistant Secretary- 
Treasurer, John Livingston^ Trustees^ A. E. Dow, J. M. Steel, 
John Reimund, M. P. McGee and William Boynton. The club 
has decided to hold its annual tournament on June 8-9, and will 
throw bluerocks from a magautrap at 1 cent each. All purses 
will be divided on the percentage system. No one barred. 
Mr. H. T. Hearsey, secretary of the Limited Gun Club, of 
Indianapolis, Ind., writes us under date of Jan. 28 as follows : 
"In our programme for our February shoot, recently issued, 
we had a line to the effect that our rate might be improved. 
We are now glad to say that our rate is $22.95 for the round trip, 
good for ten days, sold only on Feb. 12. Therefore our special 
parlor car will leave Feb. 12, at 11:45 A. M.., and reach Hot 
Springs the following day at noon. Kindly mention this reduction 
01 rate in your valuable columns." 
The Brooklyn, N. Y., Gun Cliib has made two new departures 
in its programme for the ensuing twelve months. It will donate 
a nrize to the high man in the handicap club shoot every month, 
these shoots being held on the second Saturday of each month. 
It will also enter in the Grand American Handicap of 1S99, free 
of charge, the man making the best average in eight out of the 
twelve club shoots. This new programme will be inaugurated on 
Saturday week, February 12. 
The list of fixtures fot 1898 is growing fast, now that the month 
of February is upon us. The absence of large tournaments is dis- 
tinctly a feature of such lists nowa"days, and it looks as if the 
day of big tournaments haa gone by for good and all. Knoxville 
has not yet given up all hope of entering the field once more, 
with one of its old-time gatherings, but such a gathering will 
not occur this year, the hint being that the season of '99 will be 
the appointed time. In thus referring to "big tournaments," we 
must be understood as meaning those with $2,000 or $3,000 added 
money. 
The main event on the programme of the Bergen Connty Gun 
Club's shoot at Hackensack, N. J., Saturday, Feb. 12, is the 50- 
target race, unknown angles, for a silver cup donated by the 
president of the club, Mr. G. P. Griffiths. The entry fee for this 
race is only $1.50; that is, $1 for the targets and 50 cents to go 
to form a fund to be divided i50, 30 and 20 to the second, third 
and fourth high guns. Sweepstakes for merchandise and cash 
prizes will be arranged both before and after the main event The 
cup race is open to all; no handicap. 
The programme of John Sumpter's shoot at Hot Springs, Ark., 
'Feb. 15-19, gives promise of a good live days' shoot for those who 
journev to Arkansas for the purpose of shooting targets and live 
birds in that winter resort. The added money in all the events, 
and the average moneys for each dav and for general averages, 
should draw the experts; while the daily tax on the experts and 
manutacturers' agents ought to act as a drawing carcf for the 
regular amateurs. 
* _ The programmes for the Grand American Handicap are now 
in the hands of the printer, and will be read}' for distribution about 
the middle of the month, perhaps a day or two sooner. These 
Programmes will be printed" as usual by John M. Welsh, of Pitts- 
urg, ,Pa., the printer who has always gotten out the Interstate 
Association's programmes in the past. Those programmes were 
described by Irby Bennett at a recent meeting of the Association 
as "the neatest and most attractive programmes ever issued." 
We understand that W. S. King, of Pittsburg, Pa., who is 
generall}' conceded to be the best shot among the many good 
ones that shoot in and around Pittsburg, has gone to Europe 
and will take part in the proceedings at Monte Carlo. Mr. King 
is a really fine shot and should give a good account of himself, 
as his nerve is all right. He has sho\vn, too, that he can kill 
fast drivers, something he'll meet pretty often over the traps at 
Monte Carlo. 
Ed Taylor was missing at Newburgh on Jan. 26-27 j his absence 
was a forced one, the effects of a severe cold having completely 
knocked him out of time. Mr. Taylor writes us that for not 
attending the shoot he "was called down by the Laflin & Rand 
Powder Co. and fined $5. As a compromise, however, the fine 
was remitted pending good behavior, and a crisp V-spot sent to 
swell the benefit fund.' _ 
From letters rece!ved lately, we can say that Maine and Vermont 
will both send entries to the Grand American Handicap. We 
are also told that the West will have a larger delegation on 
hand this year tlian it had in 1897. How about the 200 mark? 
Flow far will the entry list fall below that number? AVe feel like 
starting a guessing contest, but haven't energy enough. 
On Friday of this week, Feb. 4, Charley Zvvirlein will have a 
live-bird shoot at his grounds, Yardville, N. J. The conditions 
will be 10 birds, .?5, birds included, 21yds, rise, 50yds. boundary, one 
barrel, gun below the elbow until the bird is on the wing. Other 
events will be made up to suit shooters. 
The New Utrecht Gun Club, of BrookljMi, N., Y., ha.s elected 
the following officers for 1898: President, W. F. bykes; Vige- 
President, A. A. Hegeman; Secretary-Treasurer, E. G. Frost. 
At its next live-bird shoot the club will have a prize miss-and- 
out similar to that decided on Saturday last, Jan. 29. 
So much has been said about the sparrow shooting at Indian 
apolis and elsewhere tliis winter that two of our correspondents ' 
fiave written us asking how the birds are caught. Cannot some 
one enlighten us on this matter? 
The Nebraska State Sportsmen's Association claims the dates 
of May 24-27 for its twenty-second annua! tournament. The shoot 
will be held at Omaha on the grounds of the Omaha Gim Club. 
Frank Parmelee is secretary of the State Association. 
The regular monthly club shoot of the Boiling Springs Gun 
Club will be held at Rutherford, N. J., on Saturday of this week, 
Feb. 5. The semi-monthly prize shoots of this club are held on 
the first and third Wednesdays of every month.
