mending a faster metfiod of retrieving at trap ^Iwots. as follows. 
"Anothir innovation that has been suggested by Walter Watrous^ 
Vvho has recently returned from a trip abroad, is the introduction 
of greyhounds to gather the birds, instead of t^^?, 
pointers that are used at present. Commenting on he advantage 
of greyhounds, Mr. Watrous said: They can ™" ■""'^f, .V^^" ifi^S 
juinp higher than any retrievi^ng dogs used in ^1"^ comitry whi<A 
would mean that many birds that flntter beyond the reach o^ 
an ordinary dog and on to the far side of the boundary tence 
would be captured by the more agile and shifter hound ifte 
plan proposes is that the club obtain some greyhound pups and 
train them to retrieve witli the other dogs, in the ^-ennels. i bis 
plan has been followed successfully on many trapshooting 
grounds in England and France." . . „{ tu^

We regret to learn that Mr. John M. Lilly of Indianapolis Ind 
one of the famous and popular brethren of the shotgun, will not be 
so actively a participant in trapshooting affairs in the tuiure as in 
the oast. Business interests will engage most of his time and at- 
tention. He has announced in our columns that his beautiful gun 
is for sale.

The team match which was contemplated between the Crescent 
Athletic Club and the Brooklyn Gun Club seems to have fallen 
through It is to be regretted that these two live organizations 
could not arrange to compare notes in matters of skill at the 
traps. Both clubs could present strong teams".

On Jan 11 Mr. Harold Money departed from New York for 
Lincoln, l^eb., where he will study mining, etc.. at the college of 
that place If he is so fortunate as to gain the eminence and ability 
in his future profession as he has as a master of the shotgun, he 
will have few equals, a:nd, in our opinion, no superiors. We wish 
him every success,

Mr. Rolla O. Heikes departed for Dayton, O., on Sunday last, 
after "a very pleasant visit in this quiet and peaceful hamlet of 
New York. Jjuring his visit here he incidentally proved that he 
t:ould shoot and shoot best when the conditions were hardest. 
Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, the energetic manager of the Interstate

accomplished much in respect to the forthcoming Grand American 
Handicap. 
Forest and Stream's desk calendar for 1900 will be sent to 
those of our readers who apply for it. It is small in size, and 
just the thing for home and office. The card is rendered at- 
tractive to the eye by a spirited picture of field or stream.

Mr. W. R. Crosby returned to Batavia, N. Y., last week, after

Trap at 'Lyodhurst. 
Lyndhurst, N. J., Jan. 10. — There were twenty shooters in the 
main event of the live-bird shoot, held by the Lyndhurst Shooting 
Association on its grounds to-day. Brewer was shooting in good form, 
and got 31 out of the total of 32 birds. Jack Fanning was a close 
second, losing but 2, one dead out. Feigenspan, in the main 
event, killed 19 straight, but was unfortunate in missing his 20th, 
which would have given him first money all alone. 
The birds were a good lot, and kept the crackerjacks attending 
strictly to business to keep them within bounds.

WESTERN TRAPS* 
Garfield Gun Cltib, 
Chicago, 111., Jan. 13. — The weather to-day was dark and murky 
not inviting to outdoor sport, but twenty-six members of the 
Garfield Club turned out for the regular bi-monthly club event, and 
the contest for the medal was interesting. Palmer, Kuss and 
Barnard landed straight, pressed hard by Dr. Meek, Dr. Shaw 
and Nusly, each with 9. Mrs. Shaw and Mrs. Lee shot in. the 
former scoring 7, the latter 3, in the 10 birds of the capita! event. 
Garden City Club. 
Garden City_ Club held its first shoot of the 1900 series to-day 
at Watson's, eight members being in attendance. All stood at 30yds. 
except Gillis, winner of the last contest. F. HoU'ister, the hard- 
shooting I'ailroad man, took chief honors to-day, killing his 15 
birds straight and winning high average, besides going out tied 
with C. C. Parker, the ice man. who would have liked to be tha 
railroad man. Mr. Parker needed a handicap bird to scora 15. Am- 
berg and Odell tied on 14. The light and weather conditions wtre 
none of the best, but the fun was good in the brisk little race.

Garfield Gun Club. 
Chicago, 111., Jan. 13. — The subjoined scores were made on the 
grounds of the Garfield Gun Club to-day on the occasion of our 
seventh trophy shoot of the series. Dr. Meek and S. Palmer are 
now tied for first place with Kuss, Dr. Shaw, John Wolff, Barnard 
and M. H. Shaw, well bunched for second place. 
The day was a very unpleasant one for trapshooting — a raw, damp 
atmosphere with a sharp tailing wind, making the birds mostly 
outgoers and Inimmers at that. This, with an extra good lot of 
pigeons, made the shoot quite a warm event. 
As usual on our grounds, the shooting continued until after 
dark, a lamp being required to enable the scorer to keep tally, 
hence the ragged shooting" in the miss-and-out events.

Ciarfc vs. Klee— Never too Ofd. 
New Castle, Pa., Jan. 15.— Editor Forest and Stream: A live- 
bird match, which created quite an interest in shooting circles 
in our end of the State, was shot at the New Castle baseball 
grounds last Friday, Jan. 12. The contestants were Mr. Wm. G. 
Clark, of Ellwood City, Pa., formerly of Altoona, Pa., and Henry 
Klee, of this city. 
The rules governing the match were the old ground or Rhode 
Island rules — 21yds. rise, 80yds. boundary, gun below elbow until 
bird is on the -wing, and the use ef only one barrel'. A great many 
years ago this styie of shooting was practiced exclusively in and 
through the Beaver and Shenango valleys, when such crackerjacks 
as Archie Davis, Henry Walters, Jack and Hen Bovles, Old Pon- 
tefrac, Fred Pearson and Judge W. D. Wallace were the king 
bees at the game, and whose reputation as good shots were more 
than local. As a match of this kind had not been shot for long 
years, the interest among the old fellows was intense. Archie Davis 
and Henry Walters were among the spectators; both have passed 
the seventieth mile post in life's journey, but are as full of grit and 
take as much interest in shooting as they did forty or fifty years 
ago. As an evidence of this, a contest, patterned after the one 
between Clark and Klee, will take place m the very near future 
between Davis, W^alters a venerable gentleman by the name of 
Jones, of Youngstown, O., who was at the shoot, apd an unknown. 
The unknown will probably be Willie Mitchell, of the West Side, 
whose age no. man knows, but Alderman Leslie says he is draw- 
ing pension for being a soldier in the war of 1812. But whatever 
his age, Mr. Mitchell, as a shooter, is in a class all by himself. 
Should the match occur, it will create unbounded interest. 
Returning to the Clark-Klee match, the conditions were 50 
birds to each ms..i, for $50 a side, each shooter to pay for his own 
birds. The birds were a fairish lot, not many sitters, but some- 
what slow on wing. They had been in crates for forty-eight hours 
and would have been better had they received some much-needed 
attention. There were, however, quite a number of them that "got 
up and got" when the trap was sprung, in the proverbial "streak 
of lightning" manner, and about all of this kind were grassed in 
beautiful style, eliciting thunderous applause from the result. 
A return match between these two men will be shot in the near 
future at Ellwood, for the same purse and number of birds, but at 
30yds. rise, and use of both barrels. 
After the first match was over there was a 10-bird race between 
Atkinson, Pillow and Agnew, of this city, and Bryant, of Ell- 
wood, with the following result: Atkinson 9, Pillow 9, Agnew 6, 
Brvant 6. '
