New Utrecht Gun Club. 
Bay Ridge, L. Feb. 18.— The close match between the 
Crescent Athletic Club and the New Utrecht was a very interesting 
affair, and demonstrated that the Crescents are very much at home 
on their own grounds at known traps and angles. The scores 
put up by them for twelve men would be hard to beat by any 
club. The shooting of J. Lott, Hallock, Sykes, Stake and Hege- 
nian was highly commendable. From a New Utrecht stnndpomt 
it was a disappointment, inasmuch as their best men were off, but 
with all that, shooting at known traps and angles is a system 
that they have long since given up. We trust that in tlie re- 
turn match they are just as good at unknown traps and angles 
as at Itnowsi traps and angles. The scores: 
Crescent Athletic Club.

Hegeman was very much "in it" to-day, winning the club shoot

won out in the New Utrecht handicap. 
Woodlawn, L. 1., Feb. 22.— The particular feature of the holiday 
live-bird shoot of the New Utrecht Gun Club was the race be- 
tween Hegeman and Bhister. It was good for sore eyes to see 
those members at the grounds who make a visit there once a year 
or less, and then shoot out those who are there all the time. 
We would suggest to Mr. Van Allen to make his entry for the 
Grand American Handicap right away, for if his shooting of to- 
day is any criterion, he certainly will get a share of the purse. 
Not a miss the whole day, and on hard birds at that:

Altoona Rod and Gtin Club. 
Altoona, Pa. — Editor Forest and Stream: One of the most success- 
ful one-day tournaments ever held in central Pennsylvania was that 
given by the Altoona Rod and Gun Club, Altoona, Pa,, at their 
Llyswen grounds, near the city, on Feb. 22. In fact, it reminded 
one of the big tournaments this organization has held at their 
Wcpsononock grounds, now locked up in the embrace of winter. 
The weather was all that could have been expected during mid- 
Vv inler, and was not. vmpleasant, save a high wind that prevailed 
throughout tlie dav, which made clean scores almost an impossi- 
bility. 
The shooting throughout was quite spirited. There were thirty- 
six contestants. Among those from a distance were D. D. Stine 
and P. J. Trego, Tyrone, Pa.; J. A. Holderbaum, Warren Smith 
and John Acker, Osterberg, .Pa.; Uncle John Gelm, 'Braddock, 
Pa.; W. J. Koplin, Emmet Rhoades, and J. A. Rhoades, Johns-

Buffalo Audubon Club, 
Per S. W. Bennet 
The Oceanic Rod and Gun Club will hold its- regular contest 
Rockaway Park next Monday, 
Missfiires of Hammer and Hammefless Guns. 
The incident described clearly in the subjcsineti letter ex- 
cited so much interest and discussion at. the time, that we invited 
Mr. Banks, the referee of the amateur championship, to set the 
matter forth and give us his opinion thereon for publication. His 
letter covers the subject very fully, and will be read with interest 
and profit by all shooters. 
New York, Feb. 2^.— Editor Forest and Stream: The misfire that 
occiirred with the second barrel of Mr. McAlpin's gun toward the 
close of the amateur championship at Carteret last week brought 
upl-'a question upon a point on which no rules in existence at 
the present day are quite explicit. The facts were as follows: 
JfTr. McAlpin went to the score and drew a bird that he knocked 
down with his first barrel; his second barrel missed fire, The 
guh he was shooting was a hammer Churchill. ■ I plainly heard 
thd click of the hammer as it fell upon the plunger, and also 
noted Mr, McAlpin's semi-stumble forw-ard -when he failed to re- 
ceive the recoil he had brace'd himself,^ for. As referee, I went 
up to him, and seeing the hammer down, asked him to open 
the gun and let me see the cartridge. He did so, and the in- 
dentation on the primer, although slight, was ■ plainly visible. 
The dog, rneanwhile, was sent for the bird and gathered it. So 
far everything was only what occurs with an ordinary misfire. 
Later, a discussion arose as to what should. have been done had 
Mr. McAlpin cocked the hammer of his left barrel a second 
time, and fired at the bird on the ground. (The shell would 
almost certainly have exploded if struck a second time.) 
No set of rules that 1 am aware of prohibit the recocking of 
a hammer on a hammer gun. Could Mr. McAlpin, therefore, have 
recocked the hammer of his left barrel, and have used the shell 
in that barrel on his bird? Mr. R. A. Welch, who has shot a 
great many matches, and who shoots a hammei- g^m, states that 
the same thing happened to him. during a match, and that he re- . 
cocked the hammer, using his second barrel with elTect on a bird 
,bn the ground, the referee allowing him , that privilege, as there 
was no rule to prevent it. As I interpret the rules, I hold that 
the referee made a mistake in interpreting the rules too strictly 
and not considering the intent of the wording.. Had Mr. McAlpin 
done as Mr. Welch did in the match in question, 1 should have 
called the bird "no bird" if gathered, and a lost bird, if it got 
away. My argument is as follows: 
The rules ot the Carteret Club provide that the dog shall be 
released to gather the bird a.s soon as the bird has touched the 
ground, after the second barrel has been fired, "or has opened his 
gun after discharging his first." Hammerless guns are cocked 
either when they are opened or when they are being closed. This 
debars a man . from reckoning a hapimerless gun after a misfire 
with' the second barrel, and it would ;be penalizing a hamrnerless • 
guri if a man using a hammer gun wa-s allowed to reeock hi.'i 
hammer after a misfire with the' second barrel. Such most 
certainly was the intention of the framers of the Carteret Club's 
rules. The idea is, I take it, that each 'man shall be allowed the 
use of two shells on each bird. If he has a misiire with the 
second shell, and the bird is not gathered, it is a "no bird," 
and the rules provide for the use of one shell on another bird, 
a blank_ cartridge being placed in- the first barrel. In this case 
the shooter "must, however, put the gun to his shoulder and 
discharge the blank cartridge in the -direction of the bini. and 
the bird must be on the wing when the first barrel ia dis- 
charged." - 
The shooter is held to have had the' use of only one sheli on a 
bird when one has .been discharged and the other ha= m..-.,.^,l 
fire. .

' them men who know as much, if not more, about tlie rules gov- 
err>ing live-bird events than any other, shooters in ihe country. 
' agree that no referee ought to allow a. man to recock hi.s hammer 
after having had a misfire. But both, agree, also, that the point 
ough^ to be clearly covered in any set. of. live-bird rules to a«')ifl 
• further trouble. 
the new rules of the Interstate Association, published in your 
issue of Feb. 11, provide that . any . shooter, having a misfire must 
hand his gun to the referee withovit first opening it; and that the 
referee shall himself try both triggers in order that he may ascer- 
tain for himself whether there has been an actual misfire or only 
• a supposititious one, with an indented primer inserted in the 
barrel for use as proof of a misfire if a hard bird has gotten 
away unscathed by the first barrel. This point will commend 
itself to all shooters as eliminating a possible chance of crooked- 
ness; but the rule would work a serious injustice to a man using 
a l^ammerless gun, if a man with a hammer gun was. per- 
mitted" to cock his hammer alter a misfire with the second shell; 
it would be like giving the "hammer man" three chances as com- 
pared with two cnanccs tor the ■'hammerless man." 
Summing up the situation, if "the 'weight ot opinion seems 
to favor the above view of the case, would it not be well to have 
it plainlj- understood that a misfire is a misfire, whether with a 
harfimer gun . or with a hammerless,- and that -no ^man using a 
hammer gun has a right to recock his hammer? Since hammer 
guns; are growing daily more and more in' favor with live-bird 
shooters, thi.s question should be settled finally to avoid any 
. possible misunderstanding as to the "intent" of the rules gov- 
erning misfires. 
While on the subject of rules governing live-bird shooting, I 
should like to point oiit a correction that has been made in the 
new rules of the Interstate Association since they appeared in 
your paper. 
Rule No. 7 relates to the "Boundary," and states in Section 1 
that, "The boundary for both single and double-bird shooting shall 
be a segment of a circle, 50yds. in diameter, and a dead line." 
It should obviously read, * * * "shall be a segment of a 
circle with a radius of 50yds., and a dead line." 
As an item of interest, I may mention that, although these 
rules'' have been in the hands of many people, and have been 
carefully read and reread with a view to catching any errors, the 
■ Interstate Association is indebted to Mr. George B. Walton, of 
Montpelier, Vt., Gun Club, for being able to make the necessary 
correction in time to prevent the error creeping into the letter 
press of the books of rules it will shortly have ready for free 
distribution to all who may wish for them. A book of the rules 
will be mailed, with each copy of the Interstate Association's pro- 
gramme for its seventh annual Grand American Handicap, April 
. 11-13, 1899.
