New Jersey State Sportsmen's Totimament* 
The two days' tournament of the New Jersey State Sportsmen's As- 
sociation, Oct. 11 and 32, was favored with good weather — calm, 
still days, with a good light, all favorable to good scores. In point 
of attendance, it was not up to what was expected. Extra events 
at targets were shot before the regular programme of the first two 
days and after it was finished. The tournament was held on the 
grounds of Smith Brothers, Foundry street, Newark. Mr. L. H. 
Schortemeier was manager.

W. M. Hooey; Lyndhurst Shooting Association, T. W. Morfey. 
The minutes ot the la.st meeting were approved as read by the

with no outstanding indebtedness. 
Officers were elected as follows: President, Capt. A. W. Money;

at other meetings of the Association, had been won iairly by the 
Lyndhurst Shooting Association.

Thursday, Third Day, Oct. 12, 
The weather was exceedingly pleasant, much like that of the 
summer time. There was a good attendance to participate in the 
live-bird contests, among whom were many famous shots, Mr, 
Schortemeier acted as referee. 
In the first event, at 7 live birds, .$5 entrance, three moneys, 
out of the twenty contestants nine tied on straight scores, while 
five tied on 6 and four killed 5. The scores follow:

In the three-men team champion.ship three teams entered, repre- 
senting the Boiling Springs, East Side gun clubs and Lyndhurst 
Shooting Association. The race was very close, the first-men- 
tioned two tieing on 28, with Lyndhurst but 1 bird behind. The 
tie was shot off on 3 birds, and four attempts were made before 
a conclusion was reached. Each scored 8, 8, 9 and on the fourth 
attempt the Boiling Springs team scored 9, 1 better than the East 
Side, and won the trophy. Harold Money killed straight in the

St. Louis Doings. 
St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 7.— John J. Sumpter managed to retain 
possession of the Busch medal, for which young S. A. Thompson 
had challenged him. While it was generally conceded that this 
youngster had ventured out of his class, he nevertheless gave a 
good competition, and made Sumpter extend himself all the 
way, for it was not until the 15th round that the latter could 
obtain any advantage, and though Thompson was ultimately 
beaten 2 birds he actually missed but 1 of his 4 lost, as 3 of these 
were dead out of bounds. Sumpter's 2 losses were also due 
to the same cause. This makes Sumpter's second win of the 
trophy.

Intercity Team Contest. 
So far as the Kans-as City sportsmen are concerned, everything 
is now arranged for the team contest between a ten-men team for 
their city and a like team from Omaha. A meeting of tlie Federa- 
tion of Gun Clubs of Kansas City was held at the Midland Hotel 
Tuesday night, and it was then decided to invite the Omaha team 
to visit Kansas City Nov. 23 to 25 and meet the local club in con- 
test. Nov. 23 will be given over to sweepstake shooting, and on 
the remaining two days the team race will occur. The principals 
in this will shoot at 50 birds, and the affair will be for the price 
of birds only. It i.? the intention of the Kansas Citj' sportsmen 
to entertain "the visitors with a banquet, and in view' of this the 
following were appointed to act as entertainment committee: 
A. H. Glasner, E. F. Sweeney, J. B, Porter, C. C. Herman and 
J. W. Bramhall. Mr. James Whitfield was appointed to act as 
secretary, and he will look after all the correspondence, while 
Messrs. G. M. Walden, R. S. Elliott and James Whitfield will 
constitute the committee, who will select the team. In addition 
to the regular ten men there will be a like number selected to act 
as alternates. The only thing that now remains to make this 
event a fixture is the acceptance of the Omaha shooters. The 
time chosen for the contest is opportune, as the birds at this 
season of the year should be strong and hardy. 
Challenged. 
Dr. A. U. Williams, of Hot Springs, the present holder of the 
individual target championship trophy, has been challenged to 
contest for it by a fellow townsman of his, Mr. C. E. DeLong. 
Just when said event will occur has not been settled yet, though 
Mr. DeLong's forfeit is now in the possession of Mr. J. B. Speers, 
treasurer of the State Association, and he having therefore com- 
plied with all the conditions imposed on him, it is now up to 
the Doctor, and it only remains for him to name the date. 
Claimed. 
. Both Charley Budd and Fred Gilbert requested me to claim date 
for their second annual tournament at Arnold's Park, Okoboji 
Lake, la,, next August, the dates being 28 to 30. This, they 
say, is done to avoid any possible conflict, and the time, chosen 
is such as will enable those who attend the shoot to indulge in 
some chicken shooting, for the season on these birds opens in 
Iowa Sept. 1. Aside from this the inducements they will offer 
this year -will be far superior to those of their first efforts, as the 
added m^oney will be considerably increased, and it may possi- 
bly reacli the sum of $1,000. .There is no more beautiful place 
for the holding of such an event than Arnold's Park and 
Okoboji Lake., 
Here and There. 
Mr. Chris S. Gottlieb writes me that he finds it will be im- 
possible for him to attend the Belle Meade and Cincinnati 
tournament, as he had planned earlier. Chris' smiling and 
genial countenance will be greatly missed, while the absence of 
so strong an arm and true an eye will remove a great factor 
from the comjDctition. 
Shooters universally who had the pleasure of Mr. Chris L. 
Funk's acquaintance will regret to learn of his untimely and 
tragic demise. Mr. Fvink was assaulted by footpads in his 
native city. Pueblo, Colo., which resulted in his death. Mr. 
Funk was of a genial and magnetic nature, and possessed the 
happy faculty of making friends of all with whom he came in 
contact. In his death Colorado loses one of its best shots and 
noblest sportsmen. P.^UL R. Litzke. 
WESTERN TRAPS. 
Garfield Opecing Live-Bird Shoot. 
Chicago, 111., Oct, 14.— Garfield Gun Club, of Chicago, to-day 
held its first live-bird shoot for the season, a very pleasant and 
successful affair, and unmarred by hitch or hindrance. There were 
sixteen entries for the trophy event, and it was hotly contested, 
v,'ith the result that Workman, Leffingwell and M. H. Shaw start 
even for the race for the season medal. The trophy event was 
followed bv a warm sweep at 6 birds, $2, seven men tieing 
straight. This tie M'as shot off miss-and-oiit, and was won on 
the I'lth bird by Kuss. The ties on 5 divided. At the conclusion 
of this race it w-as so dark that the shooters could hardly see. 
:ind it wa^ iieces'sary to trap white birds, in order to help out 
their eye.sight and settle the tie. The birds to-day were very 
good summer birds, with an occasional young one which hesi- 
tated at the trans. The weather was cool, with a hazy light, and a 
freshening wind blew from left to right across the score. Three 
Jadifts were present, hnd one, Mrs. Shaw, took part,, ter score of 
9 in the trophy event being a Very creditable one Folio

Garden City Gun Club, 
The live-bird shoot of the Garden City Gun Club was sei 
Watson's this afternoon, and it was confidently expected thi 
least a dozen shooters would ra,ppear. Only two members, I 
ever, turned out, and the meeting was a failure, some shoti 
perhaps being called away to other grounds. The two mem 
on hand were Messrs. J. H. Amberg and H. Levi. Mr. Am 
has been quite ill for some days, but was well enough to ki 
out of 20 very fair birds, Levi scoring 15, The light was 
brilliant, and the wind was fresh. Score:

Live-Bird Season Open. 
'1 
Although we shall < not have any really good birds here ll 
next inonth, it may be said that the live-bird season at the 1 
clubs is now open, and we may expect more and more pra? 
matches, sweeps, etc. Nothing startling is on the string heri 
the moment. Next Wednesday Audubon, the old-time gun 
of Chicago, has its regular meet, at Watson's, and on the follovj 
Friday the sportsmen's trophy contest takes place— third of 
series. This event is apt to bring out about as many shooteris 
any we have. As Garfield does not conflict, but splits weeks M 
the Sportsmen's trophy, several of tlie Garfield men will no d{j 
be on hand for the latter contests, thus giving such shod( 
a chance for a good sweep each week, one on Friday and one: 
Saturday. 
Belle- Meade. 
Belle Meade, ot Nashville, attracts earnest attention here, and 
programme is a liberal one. Our shooters pick Elliott to win 
cast iron badge over Mr. De Bow. As to the Schmelzer trophy, 
targets, that is anybody's race in the aggregation which will be 
hand at this tournament. Three sets of traps for live birds and I 
for targets looks as though the Tennesseans intended to set a 
pace for competitors in the tournament line. E. Houoi
