lEdiott— Gil&sft Match 'Series. 
Gilbert vs. Elliott. 
Dexter Park, L, I,, March 29.— Once again the two great shoot- 
ing rivals, Fred Gilbert, of Spirit Lake, la., ancl J. A. R. 
Elliott, of Kansas City, Mo., met in shooting competition here. 
This time it was for the purpose of settling their little differences 
as to who should be the custodian of the Dupont trophy, which 
•during some months past had been held by Elliott. 
The contest for it was not a very striking one, and but for the 
big scores recorded possessed little of interest as a close contest. 
It was an even race up to the 25th round, when the first miss of the 
match occurred, which had to be charged to Gilbert. This bird, a 
big black one, was very strong, but not extraordinarily fast. It 
lost but a few feathers, and fairly outwitted the shooter. The end 
of the first string of 25 showed the following result: Elliott 25, 
Gilbert 24. Elliott succeeded in making a run of 34, when he, too, 
experienced a loss, as his ."5th, a very fast driver, that towered 
rapidly, was undershot with both barrels and died out of bounds. 
This made the race a tie, but it only remained thus for a very 
brief period, Elliott missing his 39th, a bird somewhat similar to 
the previous one he lost. This deceived him by curving sharply to 
the right. 
When the first half of the match was complete, Gilbert was one 
in the lead, having scored 49 to Elliott's 48. The Iowa man main- 
tained his continuous performance in the third string, and as El- 
liott lost another in his 64th, Gilbert had increased his advantage 
to 2 birds when three-fourths of the match was shot, the figures 
then showing Gilbert 74, Elliott 72. 
The final string of 25 resulted in Gilbert once more accounting 
for all of his. while Elliott negotiated all of his but the 99th, 
which died oiit of bounds. This he hit very hard w'ith the first 
load, but failed to reach with the second. This left liis opponent a 
winner by 3 birds, the final score being Gilbert 99, Elliott 96. 
This is Gilbert's best score on live birds in an individual con- 
test. Prior to this his best score was 97, also made in a match with 
Elliott for the same trophy, though on this occasion he was the 
holder. 
Gilbert's great time was mainly responsible for his fine score. 
This in a measure made it appear as though the luclc of the birds 
was in his favor. However, his first was invariably so well placed 
that few of the birds had an opportunity to get hard. Again, his 
second, when required, was equally as effective, for on a number 
of occasions this was demonstrated in a marked degree by the 
manner in which he killed rapid towering birds that had evaded the 
first load. 
The good kills he made were his 10th, 11th. 13th, 15th, 17th, 19th, 
29th 30th, 35th. 3Rth, 49th 51st, 58th, 62d, 64th, 69th, 71st, 75th, 
76th, 77th, 81st, 84th, 85th, 91st, 98th and 99th. The very best of 
these were his 76th and 85th. Of his entire 100 there were 20 sitters. 
He ran 75 straight; from the 25th he killed straight, this run 
thereby remaining unfinished. 
Elliott's shooting, too, was of high excellence, though his time 
apparently was not so regular as iiis opponent's, and it was in this 
respect that the latter seemed to excel. However, all Elliott's 
misses occurred on fast birds, so that none of them can be charged 
to poor shooting or carelessness. That he killed many go<jd birds, 
all of which were strong and vigorous, is shown by the following ; 
His best kills were the lllli, 18th, 19th. 20th, 23d, 31st, 33d, 34th, 
37th. 41st, 44th, 46th, 51st, 5.5th, 56th, 57th, 63d, 64th, 65th, 68th, 
78th; 79rh, 83d, 84th, S5th, 86th, 87th, 94th and 100th. The ex- 
ceptional one of the above was his 41st. This was undershot with 
the first and then killed clean far out with the second. His num- 
ber of sitters was 17. His best run was 35 straight, from the 64th 
to 99th. 
The birds as a whole can be classed only a fair average lot. 
Though selected with great care and of a uniform blue color, they 
had no wind to aid them, and in consequence failed to develop 
that snap and vigor which characterized the birds in the Heikes- 
Elliott match at Yardville last Saturday. There is a high ridge 
to the north of the grounds known as the backbone of Long 
Island, and this cut off all the wind, which would doubtless have 
been quite a factor in the race. The conditions generally were 
favorable to good scores. 
The match began at 1:56 and was shot in about an hour and 
thirty-five minutes. Mr. H. P. Collins, of Baltimore, acted as 
referee and Mr. Louis Schortemeier as puller. Gilbert shot a 
Parker Run, 3'vidrs. of Dupont powder in Leader shells. Elliott 
shot a Winchester takedown gun, 45grs. of Hazard powder in 
Leader shells. Both stood at 30yds.

Messrs. Fred Gilbert and J. A. R. Elliott have, during the 
past few years, met in eight individual live-bird contests for the 
various trophies that have been up for competition. Of this series 
Gilbert has won five and Elliott three. They first met at Kansas 
City, Mo,, Oct. 8, 1897. The Star cup was then the subject of dis- 
pute, and Elliott was the holder. This match was won by Gilbert, 
who scored 95 to Elliott's 94. 
Two weeks later they met again at the same place for the Dupont 
trophy. Gilbert won this match also, though it required a shoot- 
oiT, as they tied on 97. The shoot-off iit 25 birds resulted in Gilbert 
killing straight, while Elliott lost one. Elliott immediately chal- 
lenged Gilbert to shoot for both these trophies, and they met again 
at Watson's Park," Chicago, on Dec. 7 and 9, 1897. In the first 
match Gilbert successfully defended the Star cup, killing 97 to 
Elliott's 87. In the next match for the Dupont trophy each Tcilled 
93. The tie was shot off on the following day, Elliott winning 
by killing 25 straight, while Gilbert killed 23. Their next, contest 
took place at Dexter Park, L. I., Jan. 15, 1898. This was for the 
Star cup, and was won by Gilbert, who scored 96 to Elliott's 91. 
April 26 of the same year they met at Chicago, and Elliott won by 
killing 90 to Gilbert's 86. This match was also for the Star^ cup. 
In the fall of that year Gilbert won the Review sup and Ellintt 
immediately issued a challenge for it. The match was shot on 
Dec. 12, at Chicago, and Elliott won by a score of 95 to Gilbert's 92, 
The last match in which they engaged was the one shot the past 
week at Dexter Park, L. I., for the Dupont trophy. This, as 
told elsewhere, was won by Gilbert, who made the best score of his 
career in an individual contest, killing 99 to Elliott's 96. 
To decide all these matches it was necessary for each of the 
principals to shoot at 850 birds. Of these Gilbert killed 803 and 
averaged .945, .and Elliott killed 792, averaging .932. 
The most decisive win for Gilbert was the match at Chicago, Dec, 
7, 1897. On this occasion he beat his opponent 10 birds. 
Elliott's greatest margin over his opponent was the match shol ;it 
Chicago, April 26, 1898, when he won by 4 birds. 
Only once have this pair met in a target contest. This was on 
Feb. 19, 1900, at Hot Springs, Ark., in a match for the E C cup, 
held by Gilbert. He sustained his right to continue to ho-ld the 
cup by winning the match, scoring 133 to Elliott's 124. 
Paul R. Litzke, 
Boston Gun Qub. 
Wellington, Mass,, March 28. — ^The eleventh shoot in the cur- 
rent prize series took place to-day. A glorious day was in evi- 
(jcnce, and the different events passed in review as usual. That 
other faithful attendant, the wind, made itself felt, and the scores 
were excellent, considering. 
Mr. Woodruff had perhaps the best of it on average, thougli 
Gordon, Sheffield and Spencer were not very far behind. ISo 
shooter, however, showed greater improvement than the one who 
has for some time been content with last position. It would seem 
that difficulty with his sight has perceptibly lowered his scores for 
a year or two, and a change of tactics has not benefited to the 
extent expected. In using both eyes to lessen the strain on one, his 
scores have suffered more or less. After repeated trials that fur- 
nished 2s and 3s only out of 10, he returned to his accustomed 
one-eye method, and at once secured a 7. He decided one eye 
in his case to be better than two. and his average since has 
materially altered for the better. Without desiring or expecting 
to perform like an expert, he is relieved to find that his trap- 
shooting days are not wholly over. 
Spencer was both fortunate and unfortunate in the Prize match, 
as a glance at his score will show. Sheffield, Woodruff and Bar- 
rett tied on 24 for second honors. The scores:

Pa-wfcoxet Gun Qub. 
Pawtuxet, R, I,. March 24.— The Pawtuxct: Gun Club held an 
impromptu shoot at the grounds at Pawtuxet to-day, the guests 
being Dominie Beveredge, of Brooklyn, and Griffith, of Pascoag, 
R. I., who carried off most of the honors. Mr. Griffith has just 
returned from the Madison Square Roof Garden shoot, and the 
practice there received shows in his shooting — in fact, he was the 
only one that seemed to have any sort of time, most of the boys 
being decidedly crude at this time of the year. The club will hold 
its regular opening shoot on Saturday', .'^pril 7. 
The magautrap worked beautifully and threw nearly 1,000 bird^ 
in two hours, with scarcely a broken bird in the trap.
