Lyndhurst, N. J., Feb. 25.— The contest for the E. C. cup and 
the championship of New Jersey took place on the grounds ot 
the Lvndhurst Shooting Association to-day. There was a large 
attendance of visitors, and the keenest interest in the contest 
was manifested. There was a bright light, but the background 
was such that the bright light made the targets al the more 
difficult to shoot. There were a woods off to the left Qufier 
and an old barn straight in front, which made Uie dark back- 
ground, and then the targets were thrown very swiftly. Mr. 
Harold Money, the challenger, defeated T. W. Morfey, the holder, 
by a score of 42 to 36. " Mr. Money has been steadily improving 
of late into a class man, and, if he continues it is but a short 
time before he graduates into the class of reliable experts. Capt. 
A. \V. Money refereed the race. 
Sweepstakes were shot, according to programme, all the events 
being at 15 targets, save one, the sixth, which was at 25. Owing 
to the background and swilt Urgets there was a general falling 
off in averages.

WESTERN TRAPS. 
Von Lengeike— Palmer Tie. 
Chicago, 111., Feb. 25.— Interesting almost to the point of sen- 
sationalism was the r:ice yesterday at Watson's between Silas 
Palmer and Oswald von Lengerke, 100 birds, $100. The men shot 
a tie, Von Lengerke holding on pluckily through a long uphill 
race, and overcoming the lead of 3 birds at the 75 hole, which his 
opponent had established. The tie score, 93 out of 100, is an ex- 
traordinarily good one, and shows both men to be m first flight 
of the Chicago cracks. , , . , „ , 
This race was something of a guess before it was shot. Palmer 
has, as may be seen, by reference to scores published from time 
to time during the last year, been shooting a slashing good 
gait, confident almost to tlie point of carelessness. He started 
out in this race as the ugh he fully expected to kill them all, and 
indeed he did kill 49 out of his first 50, only losing his race in 
the last quarter. It was not certain in the minds of many of 
how Si would hold out in a 100-bird race, for his eyesight is his 
weak point, and much depends on the prevailing light at the time 
of any race he shoots. He more than justified the confidence of 
his friends, however, by his shooting on this occasion, which 
was that of a veteran in every regard. Mr. Palmer made 39 
single-barrel kills. , ^ t , 
This was the first 100-bird race that Oswald von Lengerke ever 
shot in his life, and he himself was not sure how he would 
stand so long a heat. Lately from a six weeks' seige with the 
grippe, ilr. von Lengerke was troubled also with a fit of 
lumbago, and he went into the race rather despondent than other- 
wise It is well known among shooters, however, that a man's 
physical feelings are no criterion as to his ability to shoot, and 
Oswald proved this fully. Three birds behind his sturdy rival 
at the half-.vay post, he saved himself all he could, killing 68 
birds with his right barrel, and in twenty other instances only using 
the 'second barrel for possible safety. This leads Mr. von 
Lengerke'-^ friends to say that if he could do this well with the 
eriope he would probably kill them all if he had consumption. 
The wind was baffling and shifting, and the flights mixed. The 
birds were good, only two being flagged out of 200. Both men 
were prompt and the race ran smoothly, increasing in interest 
steadily in the last quarter, when Mr yon Lengerke began to 
null up on the big man. When he killed his last bird and tied the 
score the silence was broken by much applause, and both men 
were congratulated on having shot one of the closest and hottest 
races ever seen on these grounds. Mr. Palmer's combination 
was Greener, Leader, Du Pont; Mn von Lengerke's being Fran- 
cotte. Leader and Trap, Schultze. The following are the scores:

Hicks— Rice. 
Preceding the Palmer-Von Lengerke race, Mews. Hicke and 
Rice shot off their contest for the Chicago trophy, the placing 
being Hicks scratch, 30yds.; Rice 28yds., 3 birds. Under con- 
ditions practically the same as those of the race immediately fol- 
lowing them, both men seemed nervous and not at their best, Mr. 
Hicks ihaking the low score of 19 out of 24 birds, 2 back of his 
opponent, who missed 7 out of 28. The following are the scoress

teresting race, 100 live birds, $100, shot on the grounds of 
the Omaha Gun Club, Feb. 16, between Messrs. Crabill and 
Roberts. Both men iiad their admirers, and a tidy little sum 
changed hands on the side. Mr. Crabill won by the narrow ma- 
jority of 2 birds, lit made 16 single-barrel kills, whereas his 
opponent made 47 single-barrel kills. The following are the

Eureka Annual. 
-21-90 
Eureka Gun Club, of Chicago, held its annual meeting at the 
Great Northern Hotel last Wednesday evening, with good at- 
tendance. The old plan of having a banquet at the annual meeting 
was abandoned this year, but this big and prosperous club will 
not lose sight of the social side of sport, and at an early date 
will have a banquet and evening entertainment, with invitations 
to the ladies. 
Mr. F. II. Lord, president of the Eureka Gun Club, has been 
in bad health, and was not able to lake his post, the meeting 
being called to order by the vice-president, Mr. J. L. Jones. 
Routine business occupied a good share of the evening. Plans 
for a vigorous campaign during the coming year were set on 
foot. AH the matters of the club were shown to be in the most 
healthy condition, and the treasurer's balance was a comfortable 
one. Eureka is one of the strongest of the shooting bodies in the 
West, and it will do plenty of business at the old stand during 
the coming season. The following are the officers chosen for 
the coming year. President, A. W. Adams; Vice-President, /. 
L. Jones; Secretary and Treasurer, C. W. Carson; Captain, W. 
D Stannard. Directors: Charles Antoine, F. P. Stannard, H. 
B." Morgan, V. L. Cunnyngham and E. M. Steck. E. HpuGH.

the twenty-second annual tournament of the IMissouri State Game
