Elliott-Crosby Ma- ches— Review Cup. 
Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 3— The first of a series of two matches 
between these two well-known experts was shot at Exposition Park 
to-day and resulted in a win for the Farmer Boy after a close and 
stubborn contest, which the final score shows was won by 1 bird. 
That each of the contestants was in the best of form is evidenced 
by the great score each put up, the aggregate showing Crosby 98, 
Elliott 97. The local man maintained the precedent he has so 
often established of losing his first bird, and though Crosby shortly 
afterward lost his 3d, he was never able to take the lead, as he 
lost his 13th and 85th, the latter costing him the race. Crosby, after 
missing his 3d. ran 57 straight, at which juncture his 61st fell dead 
out of bounds, after which he killed out. Crosby s best runs were 
57 and 38. the latter remaining unfinished, while Elliott made the 
best run of the day— 71. Both shooters used the first barrel with 
great precision, and the second was largely used for safety. 
The birds were a very good lot, mostly blue of color, and as a 
rule good flyers. The weather conditions were good, though the 
light wind which blew right quarterly across the traps did not aid 
the birds materially. 
Mr. Tno. T. Hallowell, of the U. M. C. Co., acted m the capacity 
of referee. Sir. W. V. Rieger was trap puller and Mr. James Whit- 
field, of the Kansas City Star, was official scorer. Through the 
courtesy of the latter we are able to give the flight of the birds.

Republic Cop. 
Qct. 4.— To-day Messrs. J. A. R. Elliott and W. R. Crosby met 
again in a pigeon contest, though this time the possession of the 
Republic cup was at issue. This brought about a most remarkable 
contest, and resulted in Elliott retaining possession of the cup, as 
he put up a perfect score, running his 100 birds straight without 
a skip. Notwithstanding Elliott's great performance, Crosby also 
gave a good account of himself and actually missed but 1 bird, 
though the score only credits him with a total of 97. Two of his 
birds fell dead out of bounds. 
In accomplishing his feat of to-day Elliott established a new rec- 
ord, as this is the first 100 straight birds which have ever been 
killed with a repeating gun, though it has twice before been ac- 
complished in matches. 
In November, '92, Mr. E. D. Fulford, in a match with J. L. 
Brewer, scored 100 straight. In July. '94, Elliott also succeeded in 
duplicating this feat. Fulford's score was made under Hurling- 
ham rules and Elliott's under American S. A. rules. Each used 
double-barreled guns on these occasions. 
Thus by Ijis score of to-day Elliott is the only man in the trap- 
shooting world who has ever made such a score twice. Both of 
these feats were made on the same grounds, as his contest with 
Dr. Carver also took place at Exposition Park. 
The prevailing conditions were not favorable to the birds, as a 
light drizzling rain fell, but that again made the light bad, so while 
the birds were not as fast as yesterday, the shooters had the light 
and a bad background to contend with. Crosby's best run was 48 
straight, as he too ran straight up to the 49th round, but thence- 
forward drooped 1 in each .string of 25. 
Mr. Chris .S. Gottlieb acted as referee, J. W. Bramhall as trap 
puller and Mr. James Whitfield as official acorer.

St. Louis Tournament* 
The programme for this has not come to hand yet, but Manager 
Corray writes me that there will be $225 added money, which, as I 
understand, will be added in the target event. The idea is to have 
two days' target shooting, with ten events, mostly 15 targets, and 
add $10 in each event, while the additional $25 will constitutue an 
average fund. The last day will be given over to live-bird shoot- 
ing, and the chief event will be 25 birds, in which a valuable cup 
will be put up for competition. This should make quite an inter- 
esting programme and one that should draw more than its share 
of patronage, especially as it should catch some of the Western 
shooters en route to Belle Meade. This is to be a three-day affair 
in place of four, as originally announced.

Trap at Baltimore. 
Baltimore, Oct, 6. — On Saturday, Sept. 30, the Baltimore Shoot- 
ing Association held their first contest for the Pentz pin, a hand- 
some pearl scarf pin presented to the association by Uncle Jake 
Pentz, of Shooting and Fishing. Ten birds were shot at by each 
contest, and the scores were: Dixon, 28yds., 10; Fox, 30yds., 10; 
Collins, 28yds., 10; Malone, Dupont, Coa, Hood and West killed 
9 each; Judge, 5; Hicks missed his 8th bird and withdrew. A miss- 
and-out match followed and was won by Hicks and Fo.x, who 
divided the money on the fifteenth round. 
Considerable interest is taken in a match in which Malone and 
Fox on one side and Hicks and Ducker on the other will shoot a 
race at 100 live birds per man for $250 a side. A forfeit of $50 has 
been posted by each side and the time for the race will probablj- 
be the last week in October at the Baltimore Shooting Associatien 
grounds. 
On luesday, Oct. 3, at the Baltimore Shooting Association 
grounds, Ansley H. Fox and T. Mowell Hawkins shot a match at 
25 live birds for $25 a side. Fox won, score being 28 to 22 in his 
favor. Immediately after this race. Fox was challenged by Diyon 
to shoot a similar race with, the exception that Dixon was to stand 
at 28yds. and Fox at 30. The race Was shot at once. Fox won, 
killing 25 straight to Dixon's 23. Fox killed his last 45 birds 
straight. Capt. Robinson, of the Baltimore baseball club, then 
shot a 10-bird race wjth Brodie, of the same club, Robinson win- 
r-in?— 8 to 7. 
On Wednesday. Oct, 4. at the Monumental Shooting Park, the 
third contest v/a's.he!d for the A..merican Shot and Lead Co.'s live-

kiU'ng 5 to Hicks' 4. Hawkins shot from a 29yd. mark, while 
Hicks shot from a 30. There were sixteen other contestants for 
the medal. This medal must be won three times to become the

Championship of New Jersey. 
Oct, 6. — The contest for the E C cup, emblematic of the cham- 
pionship of New Jersey, had most unpleasant weather conditions. 
There was a slow, persistent rain falling most of the day. There

Money, the holder, and C, W. Feigenspan, the challenger, were 
the contestants. The former won by the score of 46 to 43. On the 
first 25 he broke 24 to Fiegenspan's 23, and on the last 25 he broke 
22 to his opponent's 20. Mr. Arthur Bunn was referee. Mr. W. R. 
Hobart was judge for Mr. Feigenspan, while Mr. T. Morfey was 
judge for Harold Money. Capt. A. W. Money pulled the traps.

Buffalo Audubon Gun Club, 
BufiALo, N. Y., Oct. 7. — ^To-day there was a contest between, 
eleven men of the Cleveleand Gun Club and eleven men of the 
Buffalo Audubon Gun Club, whose guests the former were. The 
conditions were 100 targets, shot in a series of 20-target events. 
This resulted in a victory for the visiting sportsmen, as also did 
the lirst race, shot in Cleveland. 
Bel ore the contest the visitors were entertained by the Audubon 
Club's committee, which met them at the boat with a tally-ho at 
7:.30 A. M. They were driven to The Lincoln for breakfast, after 
which they were treated to a drive through the parks, arriving at 
the grounds at 11 A. M. The match was then shot, when all 
lunched at Audubon Park Hotel. Afterward several target events 
were shot, the visitors again showing their superiority with the 
gun. 
The fourth event was at 7 live birds. 
After the shoot the party was banqueted at the Ellicott Club, 
when several of the visitors returned home. C. F. Lambert, of the 
Haverhill Gun Club, of Lynn, Mass., was present at the shoot. 
Event No 2 was the club badge shoot. H. D. Kirkover, E. C. 
Burkhardt and H. C. B. tied for Class A Badge, Kirkover winning 
in the shoot-off. E. Reinecke won Class B. There were no con- 
testants in Class C. The annual field day and merchandise shoot 
of the club will take place on the grounds on Thursday, begin- 
ning at 9:30 A. M, The manager of the grounds is contemplating 
a three-day (midwinter) tourney, to be held in January. Date and 
particulars will be announced later. The scores follow:

Pawlingf Rod and Guti Club. 
The tournament of the Pawling Rod and Gun Club, Oct. 6 and 
7, was unfortunate in respect to weather on Friday, the first day, 
for there was rain and dark clouds and a bad light — so much so 
that a number of New York shooters who intended to be present 
abandoned the purpose and did not go at all. This club has been 
unfortunate in its tournaments of the present year, but it has 
leaders in its membership who pluckily continue the good work. 
To us the programme seemed a bit high as to entrance moneys, 
there being twelve events on the first day calling for 210 targets, on 
a basis of 10 cents a target, or a total entrance of $21, On the sec- 
ond day the total entrance was $19, or $40 for the two days. How- 
ever, all who were present enjoyed themselves thoroughly. 
Mr. Otis Arnold acted most efficiently as cashier, assisted by 
Mr. Ross Chapman. Mr. Mort Haines was referee, and the 
Captain, Mr. Horatio Nelson, was squad hustler. 
Friday, First Day, Octr 6. 
There were nine contestants all told on this day. The weather 
was wet and raw. The targets were far from easy to negotiate. 
No. 6 had $5 added and No. 12 had .$10 added. No. 9 was the mer- 
chandise handicap. Ten events were shot in addition to the regu- 
lar programme. The scores were as follows:

PUBLISHERS' DEPARTMENT. 
Many readers will be interested in the fact advertised in another 
column that the estate of Herbert of Muckross is soon to be sold 
at auction. Perhaps no estate in all the world is better known 
than this, which includes practically t'ne entire points of scenic 
attraction at the world-famed Lakes of Killarney, and this sale ' 
must therefore be of great interest to the thousands of American 
tourists who visit Killarney each year. It has been known for i 
some time that the estate was to be sold, and it had been reported! 
that a syndicate of rich Americans had combined to take it and ^ 
so save the beautiful place. It has also been said that Sir Thomas 
Lipton had bought it privately. It now appears that neither of | 
these was true and the estate is to be sold by auction. — Adv. 
The crisp October air and the yellowing foliage reminds us that ' 
the ducking season will soon be here. It is time, therefore, fori 
each man to begin to look over his outfit and see what he needs 
for the late autumn and winter shooting. In these days no man 
can kill ducks without decoys, and good decoys at that, and it is 
said that among the best of these are the Sibley decoys, advertised 
in another calumn. — Adv. 
Tlie capture of a 331b. striped bass on a 7oz. Leonard rod is 
som'ething that ought to have a fuller noticfe than mere mention in 
William Mills' Sons' advertisement. Such a feat, we take, is \ 
quite unexampled and tnust have filled the heart of the successful ' 
angler with varied emotions, of which pride and joy were the last. ' 
Only those who are familiar with the fighting qualities of thei 
strioed bass can realize what this contest must have been. — Adv. , 
The nev- catalogue' of the Marlin Fire Arms Co., dated Sept 
IS,. i899, is something of a departure from the usual form of s\ic\ 
catalogties and an iirsprovement. The colored cover shows a ma-- 
staadlng over two pointing setters and is very effective. The cats.- , 
logue is divided into three sections referring (1) to details of the ' 
weapons m-anufactured by the Marlin Fire Arm_s Co., (2) informa- 
tion" in regard to the arms and ammunition used in them, anj 
(3) hmts for those who tise these weapons, AVhether one propose- 
to purchase a A'larlin or not, the book is useful and interesting 
it will be sent on applicatiQS to auy oae sending two stamps fcj 
postage.— .iddfefc.
