Trap at l^yndbiifst. 
Banks— Oliin\b'y vs. Keller— Waters. 
Ajii ll 1. ]No better day I'ould liave been seleeteti lot the long- 
pending match between Messrs. Banks and Ouitnby on one side 
and Messrs. Keller, and Waters on the other. The match had 
waxed fiercely at limes, and waned at others into such attenua- 
tion that it seemed lost. Keferring to April i as being a good day, 
the .weather, and not the associations of April 1st as a day of 
the unwise, is in mind. It was a true April day. with quick changes 
fr.om sunshine to shadow, and fitful breeises blowing from 8 o'clock. 
'I'his match has seen many fluctuations. If any two seemed out 
of form, tlip other two were quite courageous and talkative. If 
any three, were ready, the fourth was out of town. If any one 
was ready, there was something which absolutely prevented the 
rjiher three from shooting. At length this, match, which on Friday 
of last week seemed to be peacefully dormant, broke forth into 
an activity which would not be denied. In an luihappy moment 
T. K. put up a forfeit of $5, notwithstanding he had put up a like 
forfeit, a week before, which was apphed to the purpose ol pur- 
chasing shad roe and bacon, roast beef rare done and coffee with 
cheese. Waters received a peremptory notification on April 1 
that tlie match was on. Calling to consult the opposing prin- 
cipals, he. pleaded that he' had not been consulted in the matter, 
that he didn't have his. gun, that this, that and the other thing 
interposed, but he was calmly overruled. He took two strange 
guns to the gTomids, then borrowed Mr. Tfeikes' gun to shoot the 
match; probably if he had had three or four more gains he might 
have done better. _ _ '~ 
There was a good and appreciative aiidieiice, among whom was 
Capt. Dressel. of the V. M. C. Co., and Messrs. Money, Morfey, 
Koegel. Hassinger, and others. Mrs. M. F. X.indsley and two 
other ladies were jiresent. Capt. A. W. Mone3' refereed the team 
rac« most .satisfactorily. 
En passant, it may be remarked that shooting this match utterly 
siioiled it. As it stood before it was shol, it seemed a very good 
match. After it was 'shot, it was different. T. K. sang a few 
verses about it, the refrain of which was, "But we'll never shoot 
this any more." Ti K. remarked further liiat his team had made 
two mistakes, the first qf wlli-Ch was in m.iking the match, the 
second was in .shooting it. 
The targets were a hard proposition, owing to the close prox- 
imity of trees, and the old barn straightaway in the background. 
JOHN G. MJJSSNER, 1895. 
When it came to live-bird shooting, the old barn, with the chasm 
in its roof and large open windows, seemed to have a real draft 
for the birds when released from the traps. They were a corking 
lot of birds, swift, strong and with unlimited vitality. Most of 
them were straightaways, which flew direct for the old barn just, 
beyond the straightaway boundary. 
Following are the scores of the match entitled : 
But We'll Never Shoot This y\ny More.

Jersey City, N. J.— On March 29 ex-Supervisor John Henry 
Outwater, One of the old-time shooters of New Jersey, when 
pigeons from the trap had a chance for life, and skill and ac- 
curacy counted instead of the present merciless system, has re- 
cently gone into the boniface business, having put up a com- 
modious hostelry on the further bank of the Hackensack on the 
old . Patevspn Plank road, contiguous to the snipe and fishing 
grptViids;.- -;lie, threw open his club house and traps to his many 
friends.' "Pff'^'as a very pleasant - affair, though there was not 
so mariy present as expected, owing to a certain extent to a 
big shoot at Morfey's grounds, Lyndhurst, between Wm. 
Cashau, of the Cobweb Gun Club, and Robert Packard, "and 
this took off many of the local shooters. As it was a match for $500 
a side; the largest individual race o£ the season, and consider- 
able money changed hands in the result, some $2,000, it is .said,. 
was wagered before the match commenced. • „ 
Packard won easily, we understand, Cashau beiog- away oil. 
Score 39 to 28, . . 
We arrived a little late, and found the first sweep uttdcr way. 
Tt did seem good and like old times to meet the old boys, and we 
were most cordially greeted. The Count, the same erect rnartial 
figure of years ago, but with mustache and goatee decidedly 
whitened. Still shoots well, and we were pleased to see how he 
held his gun well down until the bird was on the wing. That 
is sportsmanlike, and he was the only one that we noticed did 
it. Ilis score under such circumstances is the best. Frank Hall, 
Neaf Apgar and vnung Money were of course well to the front. 
The birds were not a fast lot, only two or three showing any 
O, J.ICKEV, 1895 
great celerity in rising or getting away. The Supervisor must 
do better if he wants to draw the old reliables. 
\\'anda would not get mad, and we think the gun stock too 
long for her to shoot quick. We have seen her do much better. 
The opening \sas a success; the chowder was excellent and 
ample; the attendance all lliat could be asked. 
\Ve hope for a goMen future in Capt. Outwater's new veilt'ure 
as host. Jacobstaff. 
Packard vs. Cashau. 
March 30.— The match between Mr. W. Cashau aiiei R. L. Pack- 
ard was shot at Morfey's grounds, at Lyndhurst, N. J,, on March 
30. The conditions were $500 a side, Cashau standing at 30yds., 
Packard at 27. This was really a most disastrous arrangerrient, for 
Cashau, as 30yds. on Morfey's grounds, with his fast straightaway 
birds, is about the same as 32yds. on ordinary grounds. Cashau 
had 6 dead oiit, which also is a feature of the SOyd. mark, if one 
is not a shooter of extra quickness. 
The old barn close by the boundary straightaway affords a most 
attractive haven for wounded or missed birds, and perched on the 
roof, they act as decoys for the birds flying from the traps.

Centredale Gun Club. 
Centreuale, R. I., April 2.— £Ator Forest and Stream: Our 
opening shoot, held yesterday, brought out twenty-five shooters. 
The day was pleasant enough, with the exception of a north- 
westerly wind, which blew right across the field, making the 
shooting rather uncomfcrtablc. Many visiting shooters were 
present, among them being Leroy, of Campello, Mass. 7 Walls, 
the genial secretary of the Worcester Sportsman Club; Coffin, 
of Whitinsville. Mass; President Mills, of the Woonsocket Gun. 
(luh; also Leon Campbell, of the same club, and besides these 
\ isitors were most of the trap shots of the State. 
The remarkable shooting of Leroy won the admiration of all, 
setting a warm pace, with 49 straight, and finishing with 97 out 
ijf 10(1. which is a very good score in better weather conditions. 
When Leroy wasn't shooting, he was talking Du Pont powder 
and Remington gun, trying to convince the boys that that was the 
combination that would win the American Handicap, and surely 
no one could have disputed that fact had they been there, watch- 
ing him smash targets with that quickness in which he easily 
excels. 
The handicap, which was the fifth event, had a large entry, and 
was won by Dr. Hammond, with a clc;m score, of 25, over which 
the Doctor Was highly elated. Mills was second with 22, including 
5 extra to shoot at. Bain and Richards tied for third with 21. 
Root fourth with 18, and Griflith and Remington tied for fifth 
with 17. 
This handicap will" be shol every two weeks until October. The 
prizes are gold medal, leather gun case, hunting suit, shooting 
blouse. 100 loaded shells. Powers' cleanitig rod, and 50 loaded 
.shells, \\'inn.ers of each shoot receive 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 point. One

broke, and then we used the magautrap. The scores:

Buffalo Audubjn Gun Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., April 1.— In the contest for the Plebard 
trophy, George McArthur proved to be the winner at the Audubon 
Gun Club's shoot to-day. He now has won it four times: 
His score was 26 out of 30, and with 3 added, a total of 29. 
Event No. 3 was the club's badge shoot. C. S. Burkhardt won 
in Class A, T. B. Walker in Class B, and Porter in Class C. 
Among the visitors was E. C. Bald, who tried his hand at the 
trigger and did. remarkably well for a beginner, and H. S. Weller 
of Utica. ' 
H. D. Kirkover's shooting was wonderful, as he scored 95 
out of 100 shot at, in spite of the heavy wind and snowstorm 
which prevailed:
