The Oakley Handicap. 
March 16. — The Oakley handicap, at 25 live birds, $10 entrance, 
handicaps 25 to 83yds., took place at Elkwood Park to-day. There 
were eight entries. The trophy, a beautiful cup, presented by 
Miss Annie Oakley, was won by Mr. Phil Daly, Jr., on a score 
of 23. a most excellent performance, considering that his gun 
jarred off twice, his 5th and 11th shots, and thatMic was therefore 
disturbed by il in his shooting-. Lewis was unfortunate in having 
his safety slip back on liis 13th bird, which escaped in conse- 
oueijce, witlioui beinsj shot at. He made the excellent score 
of 22 nevertheless. Elliott's 3d was a hoverer, which jumped 
up and down instantly to the ground. His 5lh was a corking 
fast bird. Ivins had a misfire on his 3d, and got his next bird 
neatly. Ouimby undershot his 24th with both barrels, a fast left- 
quartering incomer. V\'ood, who stood at 26yds., shot some of his 
birds very accurately and neatly, and promises to be a man 
who should stand down at about 28yds. 
There was a stiff, strong northwest wind, which blew steadily 
and made the birds from Nos. 1 and 2 traps exceedingly difficult. 
Mr. Harold Wallack acted as referee.

on the Paterson Plank Road, near the Hackensack bridge, where 
the Jeannette Gun Club held its regular monthly shoot on 
March 17. The birds were a poor lot, and the light wind from 
the southeast did not help the birds any. H. Otton won Class A, 
Kid Peters won Class B.

Hoboken, N. J., March 18. — Herewith are the scores of the 
Hackensack River Gun Club. The shoot was on March 17.

ing article was left out. I send you a. few lines, and you con use 
them r.s you see fit. 
After tlie shoot was over for the day all those who took part and 
their friends were entertained to a very fine supper and re- 
freshments at the club's expense. Messrs. Schortemeier, Ch. 
Steifens, C, F. Lenone and the writer made some very good 
-speeches. Mi". Herman Stude played tlie violin, while Miss 
Staude, Mrs. . Heflich and Mr. Wm. Clark sang some very 
pretty pieces. Mr. John Smitli also entertained the crowd 
with his comical songs and buck dancing. After several hours 
of merrymaking, all those present congratulated the secretary 
for the great success of the whole affair, and all hoped to be 
present at the next shoot.

The Grand American Handicap. 
New York, March 18. — Editor Forest and Stream: By the time 
this reaches the eyes of the shooting public only a very short 
time -will remain before the date for closing regular entries in 
the Grand American Handicap of 1899 will arrive. Will you, 
therefore, permit me to call the attention of all intending contest- 
ants who have not yet forwarded to rne their forfeit of $30, that 
regular entries close on Tuesday, April 4. Penalty entries may 
be made at any time after April 4 until the last mr.i^ hr.s shot 
at his .lecond bird, on payment of an extra fee of $30. 
Admission badges will not be mailed before March 25 at the 
ear'iest. (This is in answer to numerous inquiries.) 
From present indications, and judging from the number of 
•entries received to date, the Grand American^ Handicap of 1899 
5s going to assume considerably larger proportions than even the 
great event of last year, which h^d a total of 207 entries.

Cresson Gun Club. 
Altoona, Pa., March 11.— Editor Forest a'irf Stream: The new 
Cresson Gun Club, Cresson Springs, Pa., he'd their first shoot on 
St. Patrick's day. A delegation of some twenty-five shooters and 
spectators from Altoona, and contingents from a dozen other 
to\^-ns arrived on the morning trains. Everything was found in 
readiness, and the feast of target and live-bird shooting began 
at 9:30. The day was .in 'deaj foretaste of spring. Sweet sing- 
ing birds, and all nature did their best to make glad this famous 
mountain resort. 
Among the crowd were S. B, King, of Spangler; Dr. S. M. 
Richards, Ebersburg; R. A. McNaught, Thomas Dipner and 
Thomas Hemphill, of Hollidaysburg; L. B. Blair and D. D. 
Stine, Tyrone; Justus Vogt, Charles Crouse and Robert Tosh, of 
South Fork; Samuel T. Howard, Williamsport; Capt. Craig and 
Col. ICerr, Pittsburg; O. C. Brown, Frugality; \V. L. Sands, J. 
M. Dively, U. S. Houck, E. H. Murray, Chasl E. Rhoades, G. G. 
Zeth. John Schenck, John Keyes, T. S. Stier, C. L. Greek, J. 
H. Davison, VV. W. Wilson, George Smith, Dr. F. M. Christy, 
L. Feeney, E. T. Drhevv and Henry Doerr, of Altoona. 
Eleven target and two live-bird events were shot. The Sergeant 
sj'stem and the new Interstate rules prevailed in target events. 
Five ground traps and revised Interstate rules in live-bird races. 
The background in both cases was an exceptionally hard one. 
A half-dozen shades of evergreen, and as many other effects 
kept the shooter constantly^ guessing. These conditions, we pre- 
dict, the Cresson boys will overcome by and by, when they 
come to select a permanent location. 
The live birds were a very fast lot, and very few required any 
urging to start. McNaught, Clover and Conrad drew the hardest 
flyers. Blair, of Tyrone, did nice work in winning first in the 
principal event, as did also Sands and Vogt in taking second 
place. 
Mr. P. Abercrombie, superintendent of the Cambria & Clearfield 
division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, was present. Mr. Aber- 
crombie is an old-time trap shot, having been formerly located 
at Williamsport, Pa., where he, Flughes, and Millspaugh were very 
prominent in shooting circles. He has lost none of his love for 
the sport, although business prevents him frora taking much 
part at tournaments. 
The committee in charge consisted of C. Wendroih, Chas. Conrad, 
J. B. Highberger and A. B. Earhart.

Auburn Gun Club. 
AuBCRN, Ind., March 11.— The Auburn Gun Club's first shoot 
of the season was held at the club grounds to-day. On account 
of wet grounds only a few of the members were present. Con- 
ditions, 25 traps, magautrap. The following are the scores:

A beautiful silver chocolate set and an equally beautiful silver 
tea set were first prizes in the roof target competition tourna- 
ment. These Mr. Heikes will annex to his large collection of 
trophies, though he gravely asserts that he will place both sets 
m commissiQa at once. 
Sportsmen's Association Tournament. 
The scores of this tournament were all published in Forest 
AND Stream of last week, excepting those of the last day, Wed- 
nesday, March 15. As to the weather of the last day, it was all 
that was undesirable. There was a cold, persistent rain, a 
densely overcast sky, a strong wind, and in consequence targets 
which tos^k sharply erratic flights were difficult to see. Start- 
ing where there was a comparative calm, when they reached 
an altitude where the wing caught them, they rnight fly true or 
take tricky turns, as the case might be. 
Heikes and Elliott had tied on 85 in the continuous match, 
which was virtually a miss-aiid-out, with unlimited opportunities 
to re-enter. Heikes had made his greatest run, 85, on the second 
day, and Elliott tied it on the eighth day, he shooting in great 
form on that day, for in eight attempts he ran 85, 53, 11, 23, 37, S 
and 16, he aiming his Winchester gun with admirable precision. 
Thus on this day, out of 270 targets shot at, he missed but 7, 
truly a first-class performance in every particular. He also made 
98 in the championship match on three different days — on the 
first, eighth and eleventh days. Heikes made his longest run, 
85, on the second day, though he ran 79 on the fourth day, aiid 
a number of runs at different limes of between 20 and 40. 
A resume will tend to refresh the memory concerning the daily 
winners in this long race;

Centerdale Gun Club. 
Cfnterdale, R. L, March Ti.— Editor Forest and Stream: On 
Saturday, March 11, the Centerdale Gun Club held one of its 
famous chowder shoots, which have become so popular during the 
past two seasons. 
George Naylor, or Old George, as he is fondly called by the 
members, officiates in the spacious kitchen, located at the rear 
of the club house, and here brews one of the finest Rhode Island 
chowders ever tasted by mortal man. 
The excellent five-trap system, just put in to accommodate 
the shooters during Interstate Week, worked to perfection, and 
drew forth much favorable comment. 
One of the old-time shooters present remarked that it seemed 
like old Pawtuxet days, as about 6,000 birds were thrown, and 
64 shooters faced the traps. 
The Centerdale is now composed of all the best shooters in 
the State of Rhode Island, as the Providence and Pawtuxet gun 
clubs have disbanded and the members joined the Centerdale, 
making a membership of 74. 
Trap-shooting surely is on the up-grade, and the coming 
season bids fair to become a record-breaker. 
As many of the members were out of practice, and the wind 
heavy, the scores were very poor, and are not included, the 
club average being about 46 4-10 per cent. 
At the next chowder shoot, we are to have a sweepstake, for a 
lot of land, owned by Hon. Eph Green, and located near The 
Willows, value $25. Centerdale.

Change of Date. 
Altoona, Pa., March 17. — We desire to withdraw the claim for 
the date May 30 for a target tournament by this club. When 
selecting the same we overlooked the fact that it had already 
been included in the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's Association 
programme. While local shooters will engage in some events on 
that day, we will see that it does not interfere with those of 
our members or others in this vicinity who contemplate going to 
Erie. 
VVe claim the dates June 27, 28 and 29 for a target tournament at 
Wopsononock Heights. We expect to throw targets over the 
precipice from two magautraps propelled by electricity. The 
surroundings at that point will be very much improved this 
summer and will be first-class in every particular.

The next contest for the Montgomery Ward & Co. medal will 
take place on March 31. No shoot will take place on the first 
F---^"" in April, the regular dajf, since many of the shooters in 
ested in it will be then preparing to attend the GraKi American
