A letter from Mr. W. R. Ellislon, secretary of the Belle 
Meade Gun Club, informs us lliat llie Scliniclzer trophy 
will be contested for on the second day of the tournament, Oct. 
24, and on the first day, Oct. 23, Me.ssr.s. I)c Bow, of Nashville, and 
ElHott, of Kansas City, will contest for the cast iron medal. In 
consequence of the large number of letters received from all 
sections and the general interest manifested, additional traps tor live 
birds and targets have been installed, so that now there arc three 
sets of traps for live birds and four sets for targets. Mr. EUiston 
states that from present indications it looks as if 100 or more entries 
will support the tournament. Mr. John Tarker, we have been 
informed, well known and popular, will assist in managing. He 
has had great experience in all that pertains to the skillful eon- 
duct of a tournament. The fame of Gen. Jackson's beautiful 
home and stock farm. Belle Meade, is surpassed only by the fame 
of his illimitable hospitality. There is much of interest there 
besides tlie tournament. There arc the fine liorses lor the admira- 
tion of lovers of the horse; fine dogs, among which are the celeb- 
rity. Dash Antonio, and his son l-Ttz; and there are the beautiful 
springs of pure water, which, with lovely women and fine horses, 
have done mucli to make Kentucky's fame world wide. 
The officers of tlie Walsrode Gun Club, Trenton. N. J., are: 
President, i~)r. Elmer Barwis; Vice-President, Frank J. ICppelc; 
Secretary, George N. Thomas; Treasurer, Dr. James I. Woolver- 
ton. These officers, together with William B. Widmanu, (Tias. O. 
I.ntcs and Edward Titus, constitute the Board of Governors. Mr.

Smith, Charles Cole, Williani M. Mickcl (field captain), ("harlcs E. 
Stokes, Charles IT. McDermott. Associate members: Dr. C. II. 
Dilts, William Dickinson and F^rank Bowers. In the gold badge

The Baltimore Sun has the following: "The scheduled prices 
for the use of a gunning craft, equipped witli sinkbox, decoys and 
a crew of three men for duck shooting on tlic Susquehanna Kivcr 
flats daily during the month of November follow: There are three 
days each week — Monday, Wednesday and F'riday — when it is lawful 
to shoot ducks an the flats. 'IJic season begins Nov. ], and this 
year the 1st falls on Wednesday, which is a shooting day. For 
the first day an outfit to accommodate from 1 to fi men can be had 
for $50; second day (Friday'), $85; third day (Monday), Nov. 20, 
$25; fourth day, Nov. 8, 120. Any other shooting day in the 
month, $15. The shooters snjjply their own ammunition and food, 
pay their own railroad fare to and from Havre de Grace and tip 
the crew for supposed extra attention." 
Mr. C. C. Beveridge, called Dominie for short, has proved be- 
yond peradventnre that a steady diet on yellowlcg chicken is the 
best method of training for a warm competition at live birds. He 
has not been doing much shooting lately, though dieting as afore- 
mentioned; but witness his performance at the N. J. S. S. A.'s 
tournament last week, where he killed 7 straight; then in the 15- 
bird individual championship event he again killed straight, the 
only one out of fourteen contestants who did so, and now has the 
title of live-bird champion of New Jersey. The proceeds of the 
next contest of this kind go to the Dominie, and he has already 
cautioned his host of friends to keep the event in mind and save 
money to enter. 
Mr. Paul R. Litzke, in his interesting news budget, "Arkansas 
and the South," mentions this week that the Kansas City team of 
ten men is organized for competition with a like team from Omaha, 
in furtherance of which invitation will be sent to the latter team 
to appear on Nov. 23 to join issue and later in the day to par- 
ticipate in a banquet. He iiu'ther mentions that there is a probabil- 
ity of a contest for the individual target championship trophy 
between Dr. A. U. Williams, the holder, and Mr. C. li. De Long, the 
challenger, both residents of Hot Springs, Ark. .Also that Messrs. 
Buddard and Gilbert have claimed Aug. 28 to 30, 1900, for their 
second tournament at Lake Okoboji, la. 
Mr. Geo. C. Lebohner, proprietor of Lebohner's Dexter Park, 
Jamaica avenue and Enfield street, Brooklyn, has issued invitations 
to the first open live-bird shoot arranged since he took charge of 
Dexter Park. Shooting commences at 10 (j'elock, Oct. 30. There

Both target and live-bird events will be in the programme, with 
about $1,500 guaranteed. The main event will be 25 birds, $25,

now in the South on a business trip in the interests of his com- 
pany, will be the manager. Mr, r)onley was the only Canadian 
who ventured to compete in the Grand American Handicap this 
year. 
Dr. A. A. Webber, the famous pistol and shtogim expert, is 
rapidly recovering the use of his right eye, which was grievously 
injured at tlie Hell Gate Gun Club's shoot a few weeks ago. The 
eye is still weak, however, and a rest is enjoined, so Dr. Webber 
and wife have arranged to take an outing of a week or ten days 
in the wilds of Luzerne County, Pa., wliere the rulTcd grouse fly 
merrily through the mountain cover, and the sad-eyed woodcock 
dart through the wiklwood shadows. 
Col. T. Martin, of Bluffton, N. C, was among the contestants 
at tiie N. J. S. S. Association's tournament, on the second day, 
when live birds were the attraction. As a testimonial to the esteem 
in which he is held as a live-bird shot, he and Mr. Harold Money 
were placed at scratch, 81yds., and they gave a good account of 
themselves at that, as the scores will demonstrate. 
The next regidar live-bird shoot of the I lackensack River Gun 
Club will be held on Friday of this week, Oct. 20, at H. Ilcflich's 
Hotel, Hackensack River Bridge, Paterson Plank Road; lloboken,

Rotiiafcer and Dando vst Fisher'ano Finlettef , 
Holmesburg Junction, Philadelphia, Oct. 12.— There was a very 
interesting team race, two men on a side, this afternoon, ou the 
grounds of the Keystone Shooting League. The conditions were 
100 live birds each. 30yds. rise, .$200 a team, each man to pay for 
his own birds. There was no wind. The day was ideal. The 
birds were mixed, good and poor. 
Messrs. J. Roth.aker and T. S. Dando were against Messrs. 
H. B. Fisher and L. Finletter. The latter team won by the score 
of 177 to 170. 
I-iothaker shot inhard luck, at first having several fall dead out 
of bounds, and this seemed to take his nerve, and he lost steadily, 
v/hilc his partner kept killing them all. Finletter made high score 
for his team, gelling 00 out of 100, losing 2 dead out. His highest 
runs were IS and 15. Ifc shot a steady race, however, and was ad- 
mirably backed U|3. by young I'-isher, who surprised some of the 
crowd by scoring 87 and losing 4 dead out of bounds. Tie also 
made second high run, killing 41 straight from his 45th to his SSth 
bird. 
Dando and Fisher drew the hardest birds, the latter getting the 
worst, but had lots of luck in gathering his birds. Rothaker and 
F'inlcttcr drew many ea.sy birds, and most of those missed were 
comparatively easy oner.. 
I'inlettcr won the toss and sent the opposite side to the score 
first. Rothaker opened the hall and all killed their first 5 except 
Dando, who missed a hard right-q.uartercr. Fisher and Rothaker 
each scored 10 out of the first 25, the former losing 3 dead out 
and Fisher 2. Finletter got a lead by killing 21 to Dando's 21. 
Finlctler's Pith bird, a hai'd left-qnarterer, dropped dead out. 
Rothaker went to pieces in his second 25, losing 0, while F'isher 
scored 21, Dando held up liis side by killing his 25 straight, while 
li'inletter lost 6. This gave Finletter's side a lead of 2 birds ou 
the 50. 
Dando kept up his good work by killing his next 25 in fine style. 
Fisher also inqiroved, and did the same. Finletter outshot Roth- 
aker by scoring 23 to his 30, and at the end of 75 birds Finletter's 
side led by 5 birds. All hands took a brace, and the last 25 birds 
was a pretty race. Dando kept up his great score and killed 
straight until his 81st liird, a hard, low-flying dark bird, wliicti died 
over the boinulary. He killed all the rest, running out with a score 
of !)5. Rothaker also improved and shot 16 straight, and then 
lost 5 in his last 11 birds. Fisher ran his straight up to 41 birds, 
losing his SSth bird, a difficult towering Incomer, and lost 2 after- 
ward. I'^iiilctter finished strong, killing all of his 25, but lost 
1 dead out of bounds. 
Mr. 11. Febtger acted as referee. The contest began at 1:15, 
and ill one hour 100 birds had been shot. The second 100 were 
finirdied at 3:10, the third at 4:10, and the race was concluded at 
5:10.
