Birds mu.st be scarce in New Jersey when Justus von Lengerke 
and his dog can occupy two whole days in pursuit of them and 
return to >Jew York with only five ruffed grouse and two wood- 
cock. It is a fact that the results of the present himting season 
to date have been a disappointment, at least so far as northern New 
Jersey is concerned.

A Cmadian Match. 
Montreal, Oct. 26.— An old-fashioned out of date everywhere ex- 
cepting among the Canadian habitants pigeon shoot took place 
vesterday afternoon, the 25th, on the Bout de ITsle grounds near 
this city, between W. L. Cameron, ex-champion of the Canadas, 
tind Mr. I.aurin. of this city. Conditions, $50 a side, 35 live birds, 
at about 24vds. rise. 80vds. boundary, and the birds to be thrown 
from two plunge traps. The birds for the most part were a 
miserable lot of duffers, which would hover in the air in a dazed 
condition when thrown from the traps. Occasionally one would 
have life enough to make a break tor liberty, and would generally 
escape scott free. The shooters, puller and umpires were sur- 
rounded by the .crowd, who were either standing or sitting on the 
grass and filling tlie air with vile tobacco smoke and exclamations 
of "Mon Dieu!"' "Sacre a la mortf "Bon! Bon!" etc. The most 
amusing incident was Laurin's No. 12 bird, a voting white inno- 
cent, which, e\'identlv taking the shooter for a friend, quietly and 
confidently flew direcvly for h;m, unharmed by the two shots fired 
in his direction, and settling down by Laurin's feet, allowed itself 
to be caught. Then a grand pow-wow took place, caused by 
Laurin's friends trying to find a shot mark on it.. At last it was 
declared a lost biri, and the sport went on. 
Below are the scores. After the 31st bird Latirift'f! fti^nrip threw 
up the sponge:

Gould fifth, Bauskett sixth, Pons seventh, Ivers eighth. Stripling

During the early part of the shoot Dr. Vincent was so unfortunate 
as to have his gun burst in his hands, but luckily escaped without 
injury. He used Mr. Sammons' gun through the rest of the 
match, and finished well. The club booked fifteen new ineitibers 
an this occasion, and is in » fine condition.

Belle Meade Tournament. 
Nashville, Tenn., (Jet. 2S,— The second annual tournament of 
the Belle Meade Gun Club cannot be termed a success, as the at- 
tendance was very light, and the di\ ision of the money in the 
target events- five equal moneys — has created no end of dissatis- 
faction, for in adopting this system this part of the tournament 
was shorn of its competitive features and resolved itself into a hap- 
hazard lucky-chance business, so that the scrupulous shooter 
of marked ability had but little chance to win his entrance money, 
to say nothing of his other expenses. 
Gilbert, the winner of high average, scarcely won enough to pay 
his transportation to and from the grounds, to sav nothing of his 
hotel bill, shells and other incidentals. Not even the lucky shooter 
won enough to pay ercjienses. and of course a .shoot of this kind 
failed to give satisfaction. With the classes of shooters as were 
present here, about 85 per cent, were constantlv shooting info the 
money, so there was little but the added money to shoot for, and 
3-cent. targets made big inroads into thiis. 
The pigeon events were all high guns, and generally only six 
or seven of these, so that on the quality of birds furnished here 
and the weather conditions prevailing it required straight scores 
to get a part of this. The prograinme catered directly to the 
crackeriack element, and while a maiority of them were present, 
there were not enough to make a successful tournament in point 
of attendance. 
In order to make a shoot a success you must cater to the 
rank and file, and if you would draw this element vou 
must make it possible for some of them at least to win some 
money. In the first place, never' run your shoot over four days, 
and then do not have more than 170 .shots on your programrne. 
Furthermore, do not have all 20-target events. One dav pigeons 
as a rule should suffice. There is but one system which should 
be in vogue for dividing money in target events, and this I's the 
Rose, which car readily be adjusted to suit anv case. High guns 
is the proper method to employ in pi.geons, but the .scope of these 
should be broadened to suit the caliber of your contestants. Two 
moneys for over five entries or three for ten would be a good ratio 
for the average shoot. 
Last year the tournament wtis run on similar lines and on that 
occasion I called attention to the fact that it is impossible to 
draw out the amateur shooter to compete on equal footing with 
the paid shooters, especially when your programme is so long 
and you endeavor to hold a six-day shoot. It is well to remember 
that you can only get so much shooting out of a crowd. If your 
attendance is large it v.'ill take a little longer, but with an at- 
tendance no larger than the one here it soon resolves itself into 
r. drag. It was hard work to get entries after the fourth dav, and 
^n order to prevent the shoot from fizzling out entirely the' man- 
agement changed the Belle Meade handicap from high guns to 
class shooting. 
The method of running tliis tournament was verv bad. True, 
there were plenty of traps, but there was not suflicient force to 
run them, so that with even a light .ittendance the shoot dragged 
continually, and had it been much larger it would have been hard 
to complete the programme. In this respect the tournament was 
m marked contrast to that of a year ago. when there was plentv 
of competent help everywhere. 
-Among the shooters present were J. S. Fanning, of ' til6 Gold 
Dust Powder Co.; J. A. R. Elliott and Irbv Bennett, of the- 
\\ inchester Arms Co. ; Col. A. G. Courtnev, Remington Arms Co.-; 
Charley Budd, of Parker Gun Co. ; E. D. Fulford, Remington Arms 
Co. and U. M. C. Co.: H. C. Hirschv, of the Hazard Powder 
Co.; Fred Gilbert and E. du Pont, Jr., of the Du Pont Powder 
Co.; Chas. Porter, of the Marlin Arms Co.; R. O. Heikes and Tohn 
J. Hallowell, of the U. M. C. Co. ; Jack Parker and T. H. Mackic, 
of the Peters Cartridge and King Powder Co. 
Other than trade rcnresentatives were Kit .Shepardson, La 
Grange, Ind.; W. G. liarris, Gallatin, Tenn.; R. S. Pierce, Wythe- 
X'ille, Va.; A. S. McDonald, Bristol, Tenn.; T. E. Bradshaw, 
New York; Dr. R. G. Fallis, Louisville, Ky.; J. D. Gav, Pine 
Grove, Ky. ; Chas. McL. Clark. St. Louis; W. A. Fawcett,' Bards- 
town, Ky.; O. E. Porter and Chas. Reif. Chattanooga. Tenn.; 
Chas. "ioung, Springfield, O.; Tom Marshall, Keithsburg, 111.; 
Mrs. and Mrs. Shattuck, Minneapolis. Minn.; .Mr. and Mrs. 
Butler (Miss Annie Oakley), W. S. Allen. Ravmore, Mo.; F. N. 
Cockrell, Kansas City, Mo.; Chas. McAlister (Haywood). Phila- 
delphia, Pa.; Emil Werk, Cincinnati. O.; M. M. Wall, .'\uburn, Ky. 
ft is not necessary to go into a description of the grounds, as this 
was thoroughly covered a year ago. and virtually the same ar- 
rangement prevails. The ride to and from the shooting grounds, 
which is always one of the features of these shoots, was marred 
in its pleasure, owing to the dusty condition of the road. , 
Jack Parker managed the shoot, and found it anything but an 
enviable task, with the assistance ho received. 
First Day, Monday, Oct. 23. 
The race between Fanning and Gilbe,rt for iirciiiicrship to-day 
was the most interesting feature of the shoot, and notwithstandirvg 
that Sharkey got a running start and was 4 birds to tlie good after 
the first event the Iowa shooting machine succeeded in evening 
up matters, anc^ thereby shared the honors with Fanning. To 
accomplish this it required a percentage of 965. This feat was only 
brought about by Gilbert's great run of 108 straight. He lost the 
second target in event No. 4, and then scored consecutively until 
the lltli round in event No. 9. This is Viy far the best run of thc- 
day. 
Fanning and Gilbert each have six straights to their credit, 
though Fanning did not bunch his as successfully a.s his rival, and 
consequently made no long runs:. 
Budd is third with an even 950 per cent., after which comes 
Ouaker Gay, the tall and nervy shooter from Pine Grove, Ky. 
While he is (me of the simon-pure shooters, he has over and again 
flemonstrated that he is capable of setting the pace in any class. 
L'ke (iilbert, he got off on the wrong foot, but thence afterward 
his misses were few and far between. 
Fulford and Marshall are tied for fifth position with 93i5. Some 
idea of what kind of a proposition the principals had to contend 
with is evidenced hy the fact that nearly half of those who shot 
through made an average of 90 or better. 
The five equal divisions brought about some queer results, while 
as a rule first and fifth moneys proved the mo.st remunerative. 
Hallow-ell was not strong in general average, but when it comes 
to raking in the sheklcs he is easily high man, as his 17th in 
event No. 6 won the best pot of the day, $12.40. While he was 
fortunate in this instance, he also won a nice piece of money by 
good .sjiooting. This occurred in an extra after the conclu.sion nf 
the progranune; in this tie ran 15 straight on reversed angles and 
scooped first, $10.80, without a divide. 
The weather was ideal, and the atmospheric conditions balniy 
and warm. During the forenoon there was some wind, though tliis 
gradually died out, and consequently cut but little ftgurc in the 
result. Only thirty-two shoot>;rs participated, but of these Iweniy- 
four shot through the programiiT: The scores:

Second Day, Tuesday, Oct. 24. 
To-day's results are practically the -^ame as those of vesterday— ;v 
bunching of the crackerjack element at the top of the" list, among 
lyhoni a littls shifting of positions look place;'but aside from thif- 
therc IS little of interest in the shoot, which has been virtually de- 
prived of_ conipetitinii by the five equal monev division under 
which it frequently remunerates the participant most to get into 
lourth or fifth place. Only for the contest among the leaders 
for the possession of the medal, which goes to the one making 
the best general a\'erage. tlie shoot would resolve itself into a 
scramble for the places that pay best. 
Gilbert and Yoimg are high to-day with .960. Heikes i.s thinl 
with .9o5; Elhot fourth. .935; and Budd and Hirschy .are tied for 
fifth and sixth ijlaces. tieikes made one run of 96. which was the 
best of the day; he was also fortunate, as his straight in event 
No. 8 was the only one, and netted him $11..55. Tack Parker had 
similar good fortune in event No. 4. 
The weather conditions are still ideal, and 
big scores are common.

Third Day, Wednesday, OcL 25. 
The inequity of the fivc-equal-money division was never more 
thoroughly denionstrated than to-day. The scrupulous shooters 
of marked ability received but little reward for consistent per- 
formance. Some idea of this may be formed by giving the win- 
nings of the five high men: tiilbcrt lost 5 targets, put in $20 
and drew- down §21.60. Fanning got out $30.30." Parker $21.15, 
Heikes $20.35 and A'oung $24.20. Then, on the other hand, Shep- 
tirdson, who lost 24 more targets than did Gilbert, drew out $35.65. 
This shooter played th« 10 hole most of the time, and once landed 
there alone, which netted him $12.10. Jack Parker struck a re- 
markable .streak, and ran 112 straight, which he might have in- 
creased to 132, as he did the following morning by killing 
straight in his last event. This he was unable to do, as he did not 
get to shoot his final eveitt. Gay, too, had a streak, as he ran his 
last 99 straight. 
The programme events were In 6t begun until nearfy noon, for 
ivhile the Schmelzer cup event was in progress there were no 
springs for the other set of traps, and these had to remain idle. 
Then when everything got to running along snioothly, the shoot- 
ing on one set of traps had to be stopped to enable Elliston to 
shoot his match with Harris. This prevented the completion of 
the programme, so that Parker, Fanning:, Mrs. Shattuck. Riehl 
and Allen finished on the next day, while a number of" others 
withdrew. 
Bright, warm sunshine and no wind were the conditions. The

Fourth Day, Thursday. Oct. 26. 
The City Hall and Court Flousc handicap, a 25-bird event, was 
the [eature of the shoot lo-da^,-. The entrance in this was $15, in- 
cluding birds, and high-gun .sVstcm of divisions piov-ailcd. 
There were sis moneys, but as there were eleven straight score-, 
ttf 25 tltese shooters divided this money equally, namely. Chast 
Allen. Pierce. Gilbert. Hallowell. Heikes, Fanning, Cockrell 
Falli.s, Ciay and Green. This netted them .$26.25 apiecec. 
The weather was decidedly against the birds, and this in a large 
measure accounts for the high scores. There was not a breath of 
air, and in addition the sun shone warm and bright — ^just such 
weather as orevailed all during the .shoot. There were some good 
birds, but they were the exception, and were few and far between.
