The Bergen County Gun Club, of Hackensack, N. J., has 
definitelv decided to hold its all-day tournament (Previously 
for Wednesday of this week) on Wednesday, Dec. . on which 
date it promises to entertain its friends al Hackensack to a hot 
turkey dinner and a programme of interesting events The Warn 
feature in that programme will be a contest for the l"<«» m »£ 
Target championship of New Jersey and the E. C. cup hat goes 
with that title, which have just been resigned by Mr fierd. 
Van Dyke, the holder, by reason of ill health Mr. Van Dyke 
has been ill for some time, and now .feels that he would be 
Enable physically" to accept any challenges for the trprf>y and 
title He therefore, in a most sportsmanlike manner, hands them 
over to "the boys" to fight for, and wishes that "the best man 
■ may win." The' conditions will be 30 targets, unknown angles, 
entrance $1, price of targets. An optional sweep on each 26 
will be shot in connection with this event. The cup and title 
are open only to members of clubs that are members of the New 
Jersey State Association. 
' The Massachusetts weather is too cold, and her stock of game 
birds too depleted, for O. R Dickey. He likes _ to be where 
birds are plentiful, and where the sun shines occasionally during 
the .month of December with the warmth that comforts, for 
the above reasons Wellington, Mass., will shortly suffer a tem- 
porary loss, as Mr. Dickey has completed arrangements for a 
trip into North Carolina in search of quail and sunshine warm. 
Incidentally he will put in some licks on live birds, with a view 
to training for the Grand American Handicap next Apnl, as the 
New England States frown upon live-bird, shooting, and forbid 
the trapping of pigeons for the purposes of trap-shooters, 
Harold Money, the youngest son of Capt. A. W. Money of 
The American -E. C. & Schultze Gunpowder Company, has been 
known for some months in the target shooting world as a 90 per 
cent shooter. He has now blossomed out anew, and has showed 
both at the East Side Gun Club, of Newark, on Nov. 8, and at 
Arthur Bunn's shoot at Singac, N. J., on Noy. 16, that live birds 
are also a specialty of his. At Bunn's he had the satisfaction 
of being the only 25 straight, with Capt. Money and John L. 
Tlrewer among those who finished behind him. 
The Crescent Athletic Club, of Brooklyn, N. Y seems to have 
discovered a new shooting star in the person of D. U Ceddes, 
of that city who has lately been doing some excellent work at- 
the traps Some of Mr. Geddes' work would be classed much 
more highly, were it generally known how poor a background 
there is on the club's grounds for target shooting. In Messrs. 
1 S S Remsen and Geddes the Crescents have a pair of crack- 
erjack's who could set the pace for most any pair of amateurs in 
the country. 
1 ieut. Peter Gibson, of Cincinnati, has just arrived in New York. 
He' came here for various reasons, business and pleasure, the chief 
ones being to view the horse show in Madison Square Garden 
and to try and get a date fixed for his proposed rifle match with 
Fd Taylor, of Laflin & Rand. He saw the horse show all right, 
but expresses grave doubts as to being able to agree with Mr. 
Taylor as to date, place, etc., for the match, which has now been 
hanging fire for over fifteen years! 
!•• C Meyer of Rochester. N. Y., president of the Rochester 
Gun Club and ex-president of the N. Y. State Association, Was a 
visitor to' the Empire City last week. Shooting in and around 
Rochester still holds its own, and it is doubtful if there rs a gun 
Hub in the United States that is more comfortably fixed, both 
financially and as to club house, grounds, etc, than the club of 
which Mr. Meyer is cot only president, but also one of Its very 
iiest shois. 
Notwithstanding the extremely bad weather that prevailed m 
this section last Saturday, John J. U. M. C. Hallowell was 
not to be deterred from journeying to W issinoming station, 
P. R. R., to take part in the Philadelphia Trap- Shooters' League 
contest, held on the grounds of the Florists' Gun Club. Mr. Hal- 
lowell did not make his journey in vain, for he came back to 
New York thoroughly satisfied with his day's work, having 
landed U. M. C. shells at the top of the high average column. 
On Thanksgiving Day he will make one of the party that will 
be present at Rutherford, N. J., being on that occasion the guest 
of the Boiling Springs Gun Club at its holiday shoot. 
For a wind-up of the season of the Central New Jersey Trap- 
Shooters' League the Reservoir Gun Club, of New Brunswick, 
will hold a live-bird shoot on Dec. 1, open to all comers. Part 
of the programme will be a 15 bird handicap event, $10 entrance, 
birds extra at 20 cents apiece. Shooting commences at 10 A. M. 
Pennsylvania Railroad to New Brunswick, Commercial avenue 
trolley to the grounds. Committee: John Belloff, Henry B. 
Smith. 
Irby Bennett, of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, is 
expected to be in this city within the next week or two. His 
friends are hoping that he will give them a chance to make 
things pleasant for him; in other words, there is a wish expressed 
that he will not be in too much of a hurry to get back to 
Memphis. Our weather is bad up here, we know, but still there 
are compensations. 
Colin R. Wise, of Passaic, N. J., was in New York on Monday 
of this week just long enough for him to call in at Schoverling, 
Daly & Gales, and choose a Daly gun that Bob Snyder picked out 
for him. This gun will be christened at Passaic on Thanksgiving 
Day, when Mr. Wise forms one of a quartette that shoots a 
match at live birds with another quartette, all members of the 
Passaic City Gun Club. 
Mr. J. H. Amberg, of the Audubon, Garfield and other gun 
clubs, of Chicago, was in New York for several days last week, 
and visited the Forest and Stream office. He spoke encourag- 
ingly of shooting matters in Chicago, and said that John Watson's 
coming tournament is going to be a big thing. After leaving 
our office he went down to Sportsman's Row, to look up some 
of the shooters of this town. 
The Boiling Springs Gun Club, of Rutherford, N. J., hopes 
to bring off a series of five team races with the Passaic, N. J.,' 
City. Gun Club. Paul Jeanneret, -captain of the Boiling Springs 
Club, has been in communication with the Passaic City Club, and 
all details will be arranged shortly. 
John Watson's tournament, Dec. 13-16, ought to be a good 
one. Mr. Watson's grounds at Burnside Park are run well and 
capably, and shooters always get what is coming to them when 
Mr. Watson himself has the chief say in the matter. He 
promises a good programme; and what he promises he fulfills. 
Mr. Henry Hawkins, of The American E. C. & Schultze Gun- 
powder Company, has returned to this country after a brief trip 
to England. Mr. Hawkins, accompanied by Mrs. Hawkins, ar- 
rived in New York last Saturday, having made the trip from 
Europe on the Cunader Campania. 
The fall tournament of the Sterling Rod and Gun Club will be 
held at Sterling, N. Y., on Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 30 and 
Dec. 1. There will be seven target events on the first day, and 
eight target events and one live-bird event on the second day. 
Chas. F. Wayte is secretary- 
Mr. Everett Smith, of the Schenectady, N. Y., Gun Club, was 
in the city last week, and found time to pay a call on Forest 
and Stream. Mr. Smith said that Schnectady had a live gun 
club, and that there was a likelihood of some tournaments up 
that way next year. 
The first annual amateur shoot of the Mt. Pleasant Gun Club 
will be held on the club's grounds at Mt. Pleasant, Mich., on 
Nov. 24. Prizes are offered for the best average, the next best 
average, and the poorest and next poorest averages. 
We have this week from Mr. Waters, in place of a Cadi chapter, 
a report of the North Carolina field trials. If somewhat wanting 
in the wise and kindly humor of the chronicler of the homestead 
of Hopie Jane, it is nevertheless excellent reading in its way. 
The Bison Gun Club, of Buffalo, N. Y., have on their pro- 
gramme for Thanksgiving Day ten 20-target events, 75 cents entry, 
$50 added. There will also be a match at 100 live birds per man 
for $200 between Chas. S. Burkhardt and Otto Besser. ^ 
Last week was a dull one in the trap-shooting world, the Thanks- 
giving Day shoots of the current week and the wet weather 
on Saturday, the 19th inst, being jointly responsible for the lack 
of news matter. 
Chas Reichert and F. L. Goodrich were scheduled to shoot 
a match at 25 live birds for $25 a side 011 Nov. 24 at Belvidere, 
111. Four other live-bird events were on the programme.

Mr. Fulford to Brother Shooters. 
Utica, N. Y., Nov. 19.— I am out with a petition to the officers 
of the Grand American Handicap, requesting them to divide the 
purses into six moneys, class shooting, or its equivalent, 25, 20, 
20, 15, 10 and 10. I would like to hear 'from brother shooters, with 
permission to use their signatures. 
The man who can kill 25 will be handsomely rewarded, and 
nearly all the rest will more than get their entrance back. 
I have shot in the Grand American Handicap for five years, and 
last year was the first time I got a penny back. Many men I 
know have shot in this event From year to year and never saw 
the color of a cent in return, and shot pretty good too._

IN NEW JERSEY. 
Harold Money wins at Singac. 
Singac, N. J., Nov. 16.— In the 25-bird handicap shot on 
Arthur Bunn's grounds here to-day, Harold Money captured first 
money alone with a clean score against a strong field of shooters. 
Capt. Money, Doty and Brewer each missed one bird and tied 
for second place, while Jack Hallowell and Miss Annie Oakley 
were tied for third with 23. Wright finished with 22, and Harrison 
and Morfey withdrew. Annie Oakley shot finely, missing only 
one bird out of the 25, the other lost bird dropping dead out of 
bounds. In the miss-and-out sweeps Jack Hallowell carried off 
first honors, killing all his birds in both events. Event No. 1 
was at 25 birds, distance handicap, $15 entry, three moneys. 
No. 2 was a miss-and-out, 5 birds, $2 entry, and No. 3 a miss- 
and out, 8 birds, $2 entry. The scores:

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Nov. 20.— The members of the Hudson Gun 
Club held their second November shoot to day. The weather was 
fine, but the high wind made good scores impossible. Schorty 
was the greatest sufferer from this cause, and was subjected to 
some good-natured chaffing, the outcome of which was a match 
at 100 targets per man, for $10 a side, to take place at the first 
shoot in December. From now on a boom is expected in the 
club, as most of the members have returned from their shooting 
trips. At the annual election of officers, held this month, the 
following were chosen: President, E. G. Heritage; Vice-Presi- 
dent, Henry Van Dyne; Secretary, Thomas Kelly; and Shooting 
Captain, George Brewer. Scores:

WESTERN TRAPS. 
f 
Montgomery Ward & Co. Trophy. 
The seventh semi-monthly contest for the Montgomery Ward 
& Co. trophy took place on the afternoon of Nov. 18. While the 
attendance was fair, it was not up to that of previous shoots. 
The interest nevertheless was not lacking, and ties for the trophy 
necessitated shooting off three- times before the winner could be 
decided upon. The shoot-off in the last tie continued well into dark- 
ness, so that blue or black birds were difficult to see over a gun 
unless they towered. The shoot-off resulted in J. B. Barto win- 
ning for a second time, after killing 49 out of 50, and thereby tied 
C. E. Comley for first place to date, as the trophy has not been 
won more than once by any other contestant. 
The contest was ai 20 live birds, with a handicap of distance 
and birds. The wind changed during the contest from left- 
quartering to right-quartering, and finally to left-quartering driving. 
The sky was clouded the greater part of the day, with an occa- 
sional sunburst. The birds were good, strong flyers, and got away 
without hesitation. Following are the detailed scores:

Eureka Gun Club. 
The Eureka Gun Club, of Chicago, held its first bi-weekly club 
contest of its winter series at Watson's Park on Nov. 19, with ten 
entries The shoot was at 15 live birds, with handicaps of distance. 
The wind blew strong from the left quarter, and the sky was 
overcast until late in the day; and the birds were very good, strong 
flyers; many were killed, but fell over bounds. 
The club offers three handsome prizes, for the three highest 
averages in five contests out of the nine scheduled, and it is 
necessarv to participate in at least six events to qualify for the 
trophies' C. C. Hyde and Lem Willard made the high scores of 
the day each missing but one, and, unfortunately for Hyde, his 
15th bird, after doing good execution on those previously shot at.
