Hard Luck Stories. 
Frank; Parmelee — "I have a hard luck story. I killed 24 out of 
25." 
Capt. A. AV. Money— "Load your gun rightj then point it right, 
and there is no such thing as luck." 
Edward Banks— "Some people think that the office of compiler 
of scores is a reposeful place, but some people are no judges of 
hard luck." 
T. L. Head, of Peru, Ind.— "If you baven't any luck, don't come 
'round. The first bird I lost was killed deader than Julius Csisar 
Jt hit the top of the wire and bounced .a foot in the air. Will you 
ttU me why it bounced out instead of in? I needed the money, 
too, for I wcnted to buy some more real estate in Peru." 
Tom Marshall, of Keithsburg, Til.— "It seems to me pretty tougii 
to lose a bird like that blue twister that threw me down, when 1 
could have almost reached out and caught it by the leg. If a fell9w 
has won this cup twice it's hard luck if he can't win it again. 
Never mind, there's another vear coming." 
A. G. Courtney, of Syracuse. N. Y.— "You are talking about hard, 
luck. There was reallv but one case of hard luck on the grounds 
lliis week, and that was when T lost the bird which put me out of 
Ihe cup. When a fellow has killed a bird and then sees it come ta 
life and fly over the wire, he feels as though he were indeed a 
victim." 
All the 24-Men— "Now, about that tie with Elmer Neal. He 
ought to have missed, and be would have missed if it hadn't beeit 
f orchard luck. Three birds from his last he knocked down his bird,, 
but the boy chased it ^lp three different times. At last it flevv 
against the wire and he caught it. Wasn't that tough." 
"Alex King, of Pittsburg, Pa.— "If we'd had one hour more of 
-■ihooting in that 24-tie we'd made 'Pork Chops' look like a wiener 
schnitzel." 
Tack Brewer, of London, E. C— "The only hard luck I have 
these days is that I can't find a rubber band big enou^ to go 
around my roll." 
Ralph Worthington, of Clevelond, O. — "When I saw all those 
nice empty shells lying around on the ground, and reflected that I 
could not reload them. I thought my heart would break." 
The Referees— "The trouble with us was, our badges were not big 
enough. We passed for only captains of police, whereas we ougbt 
to have gone for royal ambassadors." 
Tom Morfey, of New Jersey— "It was prett.y tougb about those 
birds in the tie; but there were others." 
Joe George, of San Antonio, Tex.— "It's hard luck that Oscar 
Guessaz isn't here. We wouldn't do a thing to this crowd, would 
we?" 
Jim Hildreth, of the Winchester Company— "I've lost Irby Ben- 
nett." 
Irby Bennett, of the Winchester Company — I've lost Jjm 
Hildreth." 
Elmer Shaner, of Pittsburg — "We re too good not to have a . 
thousand shooters, and we'll have them next year." 
President Dressel, of the Association — "It's a little hard that we 
didn't have (he Casino done, but outside of that this is a beautiful 
world." 
Gilbert and Welch— "It's a little rough on us, but mighty lucky 
for the other fellows that we wern't there." 
Charlie Young, of Springfield, O.— "I expected to gain a pound 
in weight this year, but it's only four bunces." 
J. C. England, of Mt. Pulaski, 111.— "If I had been as lucky in 
my shooting as I was in other ways the world would have been 
mme." . ■ 
Capt. du Brav, of the Parket'. Giin— ^''It's t&o tiad to lilwe the 
rheumatism in a place like this, where a man stirely needs to 
travel his swiftest," 
Milt Lindsley, of the Peters Company — "You know what the 
boys say when thejy g<J out duek shooting? 'Aber sie Hiegen zu 
hoch.' " ■ 
Jack Hallowell, of the U. M. C. Com.pany — "It's too bad the 
S o'clock train came at 6 o'clock, or me and 'Pork Chops' wouldn't 
have done a thing to them_. Everybody was willing to divide, and 
I reckon everybody was willing to shoot." 
Chan Powers, of Decatur, 111. — "Haven't a kick on earth except 
lhat I would like just onSnMiOEe shc>t.at a certain bird that I know 
got away from me." 
U. M. C. Thomas — "It is matter of regret to me that the fence, 
■platforms and buildings of the park were not painted the lovely 
.green which distinguishes a certain justly famous shell which I 
could mention." 
E. D. Fulford, of L'tica, N. Y.— "They ought to have stopped 
the shooting so I could show the crowd my traps." 
Jim Elliott, of Kansas City— "Don't touch me, don't come near 
me! I'm so full of bad lurk that I expect the train will run off 
tl)'^ track going in to town." 
L. Schorteimeier — "The handicap I got was something awful." 
Tack Fanning, of the Laflin & Rand Company; — "My time isn't 
rip^ht or I would have won the whole thing." 
A. Meyerhoff, the Cashier— "I handled $15,000, and didn't win 
a nenf. Some men can't lay up any money. '^ 
Elmer Neal, of Bloomington, Ind. — "It's iiard Ittck that the St- 
inirse didn't mean $1,500 instead of $121." 
Dr. Ca,;iey, of Brooklyn — "If I had only had some one to load 
my gun.'*' 
S H. Hathaway— "I was in that divide, and all I got was ?150 
for killing 22. Too bad!" , , 
Harry Pryor Collins, of Baltimore— ' I never shot better, and 
never had such bad luck in having my dead birds go out of 
bounds." 
H. D. Bates, of Ridgetown> Ont.— "I wish I hadn't divided." 
Referee No. 1, Ed Taylor, of the Laflin & Rand Powder Coin- 
panv — "Never again!" 
Referee No. 2, Harold Wallack— "Never again!" 
Referee No. 3, B. Waters— "Never again!' 
Referee No 4, Cliarlie North, of the Blue Rock— "Never again!" 
Proverbs. 
A mqrciful man is merciful to his referee. (In Doc. Vincent 
signo.) 
The shooting is not all there is to a shoot like this. 
A rolling dollar accumulates no rust, 
A light pocketbook maketh a glad heart. (Sometimes.) 
The big trophy was a cup that cheered. 
A cow is big enough to catch a mouse, but she can't. Not 
alwa3'H. 
It is more than forty miles from Schenectady to Chicago. 
Marriage does not necessarily disqualify a shooter for the Old 
Guard.

Aftermath. 
As a final to the week's shooting at Interstate Park, it was in- 
tended to shoot a 50-bird sweep, entrance $50. When the matter 
was first broached the prospect was that it would be quite an 
event, as a number had expressed their intention to participate 
therein. However, on Saturday, when the event, was called, only 
nine materialized for it by putting up their money. As one of the 
stipulations of the contest was that there were to be ten or more 
entries, the event was finally declared off, and in place thereof 
two 25-bird sweegs were .shot. The entrance in these was $25, 
birds extra, and high gun division of money prevailed. 
The first had twelve entries, and the purse went to the four high 
guns on a basis of 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. 
Powers and Parmelee scored 25 straight and divided first and 
second money, which netted them $105 apiece. Heikes was the 
only one to score 24, so that he took second money, $60, without 
a divide. Col. Martin, Capt. Money and Capt. Brewer each killed 
23, and divided fourth money, $30— $10 each. 
The other scores were: Marshall, Van Allen and Budd, 22 each; 
Fanning, Kirkover and Ewart withdrew, as none of them could 
get into the money. 
Only seven entries materialized for the second sweep, so that 
there were but two moneys in it. The division was 60 and 40 per 
■cent. Powers again killed straight, winning $105. Col. Martin and 
Van Allen killed 24. This paid them $35 apiece. Capt. Money, 
-Parmelee and Heikes scored 23. Capt. Brewer withdrew when it 
became apparent that he could not get a part of the purse. 
As a final to the week's shooting, a $5 miss-and-out was 
started. This had eleven entries, and was closely contested, for at 
•the end of the 20th round Powers. Parmelee, Heikes and Fanning 
were stiU in. This quartette then decided to divide the purse. 
It will be observed from the above that Powers made a run of 
70 straight kills, which remained unfinished. This was a superb 
.exhibition of shooting skill. A superior lot of birds were trapped 
in these events, which were largely aided by a strong gale of wind 
lhat blew diagonally across the grounds away from the score.

ON LONG ISLAND. 
Boston Gun Club. 
Wei-lington, Mass.— April 4 attracted to the Boston Gun Club 
at Wellington a goodly crowd of shooters intent on an afternoon's 
recreation under pleasant skies and 'midst comfortable breezes. 
The conditions are shown to have been excellent bv the fine work 
of several shooters and the very fine work of Mr. Gordon, who is 
one of the older guard, yet accomplished seven straights, broke 
95 out of his 100 and averaged 94 per cent, on 125 targets. 
His breaks were beautifully made except in very few instances, 
and all present were as much pleased over the performance as if i( 
had been a personal affair. A little incident furnished amusement 
to the two or three who knew of it. At the conclusion of the ninth 
event Mr. Gordon had 85 broken, and in order that another straight 
might become his portion and seal a 95 out of 100 it was suggested 
by three other shooters that 10 singles be the next event, the 
scheduled 6 pairs to follow later. This alteration could not well be 
made, as some were shooting their prize scores; but on the other 
hand any shooter could miss an event if preferred. In the hands 
of his friends Mr. Gordon was almost persuaded to do this, but 
when he saw his squad march out for the pairs ho picked up his 
gun with a "Pshaw! I'm going to shoot if I only get 5. What do 
I care for the score? You can't leave me out." 
He was the only one to break 10, and in not playing for a high 
score deserved it all the more. Other good scores were made, 
Woodi-uff's, Sheffield's and Leonard's averages all showing good 
increase.

The following letter is a copy of those sent to the members of 
the New Utrecht Gun Club: ,^ ^ 
New York, April 17.— To Members of the New Utrecht Gun 
Club: Gentlemen.— Replies received to the circular letter issued 
last week have all been in favor of holding club shoots at Inter- 
state Park, with the exception of. three. One of the latter opposes 
shooting there; the other two replies are indefinite in character. 
I. have arranged for the first club shoot of 1900 to be held at 
Interstate Park on Saturday, April 14, commencing at 2 o'clock. 
Members and their friends can go down at any time during the 
day and shoot as tliey may desire until 2 o'clock, when the regular 
club events will be shot off. The orice of birds will be 25 cents. 
Trains for Interstate Park stop at the station at the entrance to 
the grounds, and leave Long Island City at 8, 9:06, 9:32 and 11:10 
A. M., and 12:30, 2:05, 3:30 and 4:40 P. M., and leave Flatbush 
Avenue Station at 7:56, 8:54, 9:25 and 11:04 A. M., and 12:24, 1:54 i 
3:22 and 4:27 P. M. Trains leave Interstate Park for Long Islanc }>> 
City or Flatbush Avenue at 10:18, 12:14 1:44, 3:22, 4:29, 5:40 and 
7:04 P. M. , , . , J 
Prizes will be arranged for on the day above mentioned, and 
all events will be open to ra.embers and their friends, the officers 
of the club reserving the right to reject the entry of any person 
not a member of the club. The list of handicaps will be announced 
at the grounds. 
As this is the first shoot we have held for over a year, I hope 
that every member will endeavor to be present. The shooting 
facilities at Interstate Park are of such a character that we can 
provide for any n;umb€r of entries received, and for this reason, on 
the day in question, as above stated, all events to be shot will 
be open to members, and their friends as well. For the club. 
Walter F. Sykes, Pres. 
Cincihaati Gun Club. 
Cincinnati, O., April 4.— Herewith find scores of the fifth con- 
test of Schuler trophy. As will be seen, the birds furnished by the 
superintendent are a little too speedy for the boys. A straight 
score is a rarity. 
A merchandise shoot will be given here on April 18 and 19, which 
will undoubtedly be a big success. Over 100 prizes are already 
received. The first day will be at live birds; second day, targets

Pawtuxet Gun Club, 
Pawtuxet, R. I., April 4.— The following scores, as may be sur- 
mised, are strictly amateur (no paid professionals in this), the con- 
testants being all employees of one of our largest jewelry concerns, 
and none in the first event had ever shot from the traps before. 
Some had never fired a gun. The others, having had some prac- 
tice, more or less, were barred from the main shoot, which was 
won by Stapleton, who carries honors with becoming modesty. 
Our first regular shoot for club medals will take place next Sat- 
urday and will be continued semi-monthly, alternate Saturdays, 
"'Novice "evTnt: Tracey 0, Carr 1, Phillips 0, Stapleton 2, Ciim- 
meford 1, Hughes 1. _ . ^ , . , , 
Practice shoot: Stanley 6, Engley 6, Dunlavey 4, Hunold 1. 
March 30.— The genial Dominie again favored us with his pres- 
ence to-day, and although a number of the boys put up fair scores 
he was distinctly t©o many for us, as the scores show. Our ten- 
year-old, Ray, did quite well to-day, this being his first trial at 
the magautrap. The scores: . . ^ . 
Bain 19, Sheldon 19, Dominie 19, Repeater 20, Dominie 22, Bain

HaverWII Gun Club. 
Haverhill, Mass., April 8.— Our club will celebrate Patriots' 
Day, Thursday, April 19, by holding an all-day shoot. There will be 
the annual club prize handicap, that will be open to members only, 
but we extend a cordial invitation to all shooters. We. will throw 
all the birds tliey wish to shoot at; will sell them all the shells 
they want to buy; give them a free lunch and spare no pains to give 
them a good time. Our club is run on the "open door" plan, ani} 
shooters are expected to make aiemselves at home with us. 
With a pleasant day on the, ,19th I think we can send yau a score 
that will convince you that 'there is one place— and I know of 3 
good many others<^n New England where tragshooting is no^ 
yet dead. S. G- Miller, Sec'y-
