The New Jei-scy State Sportstnen's Associ^on will call a 
meeting of the Association to talce action in legaftl to postpone- 
tnent of its tournament til! early fall, the present dates, May 17-20, 
having practically been abandoned. Thirty days' notice is neces- 
sary under the constitutional provision governing the matter, so 
that the meeting will not be held earlier than the latter part of 
May. The revivification of the A.ssociation has not been an easy 
iiiatter, and the inheritance, of cups with stfing attaelitrients, etc, 
has hahipered the workers very rrtuch. The better way to dispose 
of the whole matter would be to dump the rubbish of the past 
into the past and begin a new Association, free from prejudice, 
ancient troubles and constitutional apathy. 
One of the processes of ratiocination which puzales the flew 
editor of this department is that exhibited by the secretaries of 
numerous gun clubs who are preparing programmes of their re- 
spective tournaments. In the same envelopes are reading notices 
varying from lin. to a half column in length for publication in our 
columns, which we are pleased to publish gratuitotisly, but in sepa- 
rate letters are requests that we take a page or half page in the pro- 
grammes, paying for the same at hill iV:gular rates. Aside from the 
material value of the advertising in our pages and in the pages of a 
programme, there is a lamentable angularity of vision in observing 
meum et tuum in the matter. 
The Troisdorf cup will be competed for at the Satm-diay shoot 
of the Brooklyn Gun Club this week. There will toe other events 
quite up to the standard of interest which John Wright, the man- 
ager, always infuses into these shoots, several useful airticles of 
merchandise being a reward for those who prove that they deserve 
them. Keep in mind the Brooklyn Club's one-day shoot on Sat- 
urday, April 29. 
On Saturday of this week the April cap of the Bergen County 
Gttn Club will be contested for on the club's grounds, Hacken- 
sack, N. J. Shooting will begin at 1 P. M. This event will be 
at 25 targets, $1 handicap, the cup to become the personal prop- 
erty of the winner. Sweepstake events also will be shot. The 
club extends a cordial invitation to shooters. ' 
This week the popping of guns at Brockton, Mass.; Lincoln, 
Neb.; St. Louis, Mo.; Hingham, Mass.; Wichita, Kans.; San An- 
tonio, Tex.; McKeesport, Pa.; Wallace, Idaho, and places of 
lesser note is sweet music to those who enjoy the battle, 
not from afar off, but where the fray is thickest. 
Under date of April 18, Mr. Frank B. Tracy, secretary, writes 
us as follows: "The Owego Gun Club have selected May 25, 26 
and 27 as the days for its next shoot. The 27th will be devoted to 
live birds, and the 25th and 26th to inanimates from our magau- 
trap. Programmes will be sent you when printed." 
The Rockaway Park Rod and Gun Club will give its last shoot 
of the season on the first day of next week, and will endeavor to 
make that event a pleasing finisher to a pleasant series. The 
sweepstakes are low, targets are $1.50 per hundred, and a good 
time is free.

ON LONG ISLAND. 
MONEY DEFEATS EDEY. 
April 16th. — ^A race of exceptional interest was'shot at Garden 
City, L. I., on the grounds of the Carteret Club, April 16th, be- 
tween Capt. A. W. Money, of the American E. C. and Schultze 
Powder Co., and Mr. W. S. Edev, of New York. The conditions 
were 100 live birds, $250 a side. Capt. Money stood at 23yds., and 
conceded 6 misses as kills. Edey stood at 27yds. It was a very 
close race, and up to the very last bird it was impossible to fore- 
cast the victor with any reasonable degree of certainty. Indeed 
had not Mr. Edey lost his last bird dead out of bounds, the race 
■would have been a tie. That bird, hard hit, but still strong and 
vigorous, barely managed to clear the top of the boundary fence, 
where it fell to the ground and died. The score was 94 to 87 in 
the actual number of birds killed, but with the 6 misses added as 
kills to Edey's score, as per conditions of the match, the result 
was 94 to 9.3, Capt. Money thus winning by one bird. 
There was a stiff southwest wind blowing in the first part of the 
race, but it gradually died away to almost a calm after the first 50 
birds had been shot. A thinly clouded sky obstructed the sun's 
rays for a few minutes after the race began. The sun then shone 
clear and hot for a half hour, after which the clouds again dead- 
ened its brightness. The race began at 10:33 and ended at 12:24. 
The short boundary, 30yds., made quick and accurate work ab- 
solutely necessary. Capt. Money shot with excellent judgment 
on birds fast or slow-, and although the birds were a very good 
lot he rax-ely allowed one to become hard. Edey shot an excellent 
race, but he made hard shooting some of the time by delaying a 
moment too long. A number of the birds which he lost were hard 
hit, but died out of bounds. 
After the match there were not a sufficient number of members 
to hold the club's cup shoot, so it was postponed. A match be- 
tween two of the club members and a few sweeps pleasantly filled 
up the hours of the afternoon.

NEW UTRECHT GUN CLUB. 
Brooklyn, N. Y., April 16. — This was a perfect day for shooting, 
and fourteen members of the New Utrecht Gun Ckib took part in 
the regular bi-monthly target shoot at Woodlawn. A good breeze 
from the northwest made the targets somewhat erratic, and poor 
scores were made at the start, but all improved in their work later 
on. Mr. G. E. Greiff presented a cup to the club, to be known as 
the Troisdorf cup, and to be competed for at each target shoot 
under the same conditions and handicap as govern the club shoot. 
The cup will become the property of the member scoring the first 
four wins. P. E. George secured the first win for the Troisdorf 
cup. 
Piatt Adams won the club cup. 
Event No. 1 was the Troisdorf cup event, 25 targets, handicap 
allowance; No. 2 was the club cup event, 15 singles and 5 pairs; 
Nos. 3 to 7 were at 10 singles. The scores:

The Macon Toufnament. 
TfiE first target tournament of the Interstate Association for 
the season of 1898 was held in this city April 13, 14 and 15. Tues- 
day afternoon, April 12, practice shooting was indulged in by the 
members of the local club and such visiting shooters as had ar- 
rived, and seven 15-bird events were finished, with about fifteen 
shooters,, five over the old, tried and true expert traps, which have 
served- so faithfully under Manager Shaner's management for so 
many _ years past, and two over the magautrap, which the local 
organization has lately placed in position, and it is not saying too 
much to say that the old expert traps used by the Association never 
worked better, and shows what good care they have received at 
Manager Shaner's hands in their long years of service. 
-t> I T^T°"'T^""^"' '^"''•'^ ^ strange and ludicrou^ introduction. 
Paul North had dropped into town early in the morning, and 
hn ding Mr. Shaner had gone out to the grounds Paul tliought 
he would also go out, and being a very great walker, and think- 
ing he could find the way without any trouble or assistance, he 
decided to walk. They have been having a slight small-pox scare 
here for some little time, and the city has established a camp 
for the afflicted on the Fair Grounds, on a portion of which the 
tournamcjit was held, and Paul in his meandering around, looking 
for Mr. Shaner, and the well-known tent of the Association, saw 
two or three tents pitched on one side of the grounds, and made 
a beelme for them, but was stopped by a man who cried out. 
Go back! Go back!" But Paul, nothing daunted, insisted on 
going ahead, saying he was looking for the shooting grounds. 
Whereupon the guard said, "This is no shooting ground, but a 
small-pox camp," and a moment or two afterward Elmer ' Shaner 
and Jim Baker noticed a large cloud ol smoke coming across the 
grounds, and presently they made out Paul's form tearing down the 
race track, and emerging fi-om the dense volume of smoke, which 
was all caused by his burning the air in his anxiety to put 
distance between himself and the small-pox camp. Now, if any one 
for a moment imagines that Paul is not an expert sprinter' they 
have only to mention small-pox, when they will at once change 
their mind. 
As mentioned previously, the traps were located on the Fair 
grounds, located about a mile from the center of the city, and 
they faced almost due cast. The background was not of the best, 
as the grounds are inclosed by a high board fence, having been 
used for a baseball grounds. Left-quartering birds from "No. 1 
trap were thrown nearly to the fence, while right-quartercrs were 
rendered extremely difficult on account of a dense grove of pine 
trees just beyond the fence on the right. 
A more charming city for a tournament than Macon could not 
have been selected. He who has not heard or read of Macon 
and Its many beautiful women and open hospitality has lived in 
vam.^ 1 he city has a population of 38,000 to 40,000, and is steadily 
^'^.p?'-"^^' '® °^ ^^^^ thriving business cities of Georgia. 
1 his was the first tournament given by the Association since 
the new rule allowing paid representatives to shoot for birds only 
was adopted, and it has been clearly demonstrated that it was a 
move in the right direction, as a glance at the scores for the first 
day will show. With twenty-five shooters participating, eighteen 
shot the programme, through, six of whicli were trade representa- 
tives,- and the other twelve shot for the money in every event 
How different would have been the result had there been four or 
live trade representatives present shooting for the money and 
experts at that. Not more than five or six would have shot the 
programme out, except for the targets. You could hear expressions 
of approval on all sides, and it will grow in favor as the ruling 
become more thoroughly understood. 
The trade was represented by Col. A. G. Courtney, of the 
ixemington Arms Co.; A. W. du Bray, of the Parker gun; H. P. 
(Du Pont) Collins, of the Du Pont and Hazard Powder companies; 
,• \- J^^^'O"^''^-!!, Union Metallic Cartridge Co.; Paul North, 
Cleveland Target Company, and J. H. Mackie, King Smokeless 
and Peters shells. 
The visiting shooters from out of the city embraced Messrs. J T 
Anthony, J. W. Todd and B. W. Sperry, of Charlotte, N. C; CoL 
ihos. Martin, BlulTton, S. C; Capt. G. Jl. Swan, Geo. Peterman. 
Everett, from Atlanta, those from Greenwood and' Atlanta having 
arrived in time for the second day, while Irby Bennett, of Wii* 
Chester Arms Co., who was detained by important business mat- 
ters, arrived m time for the live-bird day. Messrs. Etheridge, 
Baker, Bowdre, Greer, Holt, Hardeman, Wasner, Williams and 
Harris represented the home club. 
The cashier's office was looked after by Mr. Walter Huff, as- 
sisted by D. W. Hill, while B. C. Epperson looked after the pul- 
ler s box. . 
The trapping was done by colored men, and there yras no cause 
lor complaint on the part of the shooter. Taking ft all in all 
everything worked as smooth and harmoniouslv as could be de- 
sired by the veriest crank, and it was one of "the most pleasant 
and successful tournaments ever held. 
It is very seldom that you will find twenty-five shooters who 
will average as closely as those who 'Sjiot on the first day, as a 
glance at the scores will show. ■ • ' . 
John W. Todd, of Charlotte, and Capt. Swan tied for first aver- 
age with .876 per cent, Francis second with .858, and A. G. Court- 
ney and T. Thomas third with .841. The day opened fair but with 
rain threatening, and about 11 o'clock, when five events had been 
.shot. It began to rain^ and continued during the remainder of the 
day, but did not interfere with the shooting, and after the first 
five events were finished on the upper set of traps, event No 6 
was shot over the magautrap, when we again returned to the 
other traps on account of covering for the bovs from the falling 
moisture, and the programme was concluded 'by 3 o'clock, after 
which an extra 15-bird event was shot on the set of expert traps 
and one of the same kind over the magautrap, the latter beinc? 
shot m quite a heavy rain. The scores for the first day follow

THURSDAY, SECOND DAY. 
The day opened bright and clear, but rather cool for this sec- 
tion and season of the year, and a stiff breeze blew during the 
entire day, which accounts for the low scores, and not a single 
straight was made during the entire day's programme, 18 beino- 
top score in the 20-bird events, and 14 in the 15-bird events. Five 
events were shot over the expert traps and the programme con- 
cluded over the magautrap. Rain began falling about 11 o'clock 
but did not interfere with the shooting, and the programme was 
finished by 3 o'clock. _ Paul North made the only straight of the 
entire day, which was in an extra 15-bird event over the magautrap. 
CoL Courtney won high average with 141 out of 170, .829 per cent. ' 
Peterman second with 140, .833 per cent, and North third with ISS' 
.811 per cent. The scores follow: '

FRIDAY, THIRD DAY. 
This was devoted to live birds, the programme embracing one- 
5-bird, one 7-bird and two 10-bird events, and the day was all that 
could he desired, with a good wind to help the birds, and the birds- 
were all first-class. All the shooters stood at 30yds. 
The scores speak for themselves: 
No. 1 was at 5 birds, $5; Nq. 2 was at 7 birds, ?7; Nos. 3 and 4;- 
were at 10 birds, $10.
