29yds. rise, $100 a side. Each scored 95 out of 100 on good birds, 
and killed straight in the shoot-off at 10 birds. The tie will be shot

In the trophy event at 2(5 birds, in the shoot-off of the Chicago 
Gun Club. 79th St. and Vincennes avenue, Chicago, 111., last 
Saturday, Dr. Miller was high with the excellent score of 24. In 
the Handicap cup Messrs. Cornwell and Steck tied on 25, and

The meeting was marked by some CKcellent shooting. 
Mr. C. C. Beveridge (the Dominie) arrived in New York in the 
early part "of this week, after an absence of several months, save a 
brief visit on Labor Day. He will locate near New York for 
some weeks in the near futxire, and then there will be more vim 
in the shooting interests, for the Dominie is a formidable gladiator 
with the s.catter gun.

Bernard Waters. 
Country Gun Club. 
Myerstown, Pa., Sept. S.— We pulled off the following very poor 
scores to-day on our Millardsville grounds. The day was threaten- 
ing rain, but otherwise was fair for shooting, but the boys were 
not steady. We hope by next time to be in better trim and show 
up better scores. We expect to have another shoot in two weeks. 
Nos. 1, 2 and 3 were at 10 targets, practice; Nos. 4, 5 and 6 
were sweeps. Ties were all divided except those for second 
money in No. 4 between G. Shanaman and J. Dietz, which were 
shot miss-and-out. Both missed their fourth and sixth targets, and 
J. Dietz failed on the eighth. But for the lack- of time several 
more sweeps would have been shot. Come again, boys, and we 
•will try to show better. All are welcome.

McKay— Fowler, 
New Orleans, La., Sept. 11. — .\ most interesting if not decisive 
race took place on the grounds of the Mobile Yacht and Gun Club 
on the 9th inst. between Air. T. Carson Fowler, of Mobile, and 
Mr. Fred E. McKay, of the City Park Gun Club, of New Orleans. 
The conditions were 100 live birds, five unknown traps, 29yds. 
rise, for $100 a side, Intense interest was manifested, and quite a 
delegation accompanied Mr. McKay from New Orleans. 
The birds proved to be a very 'fair lot for this season, and 
although a few refused to fly, every now and then a hummer would 
leave the trap, and it served to keep the shooters as well as 
spectators keyed up to an intense slrnin. Buth gentlemen scored 
95 out of 100. and shot the tie off at 10 on straight scores each 
when I he birds gave out, ' 
The shooting was excellent, and in good time. The high scores 
would iiulicule poor birds, ljut the inference is a mistaken one 
as it was llie shooting, which was above par, ' 
Fowler started badly, but shot a game race throughout, and 
both he and McKay finished strons?. F.aoh made several sensa- 
tional stops. The COth bird of Mr. Fowler tle\y completely arountl 
the mclosiire-, apd then dropjied dead in buumls. Mr. McJCayV 
96th had an appointment elsewhere. All who saw the match were 
highly entertamed, and hope soon to see the tie decided.

Webber vs. Van Allen. 
Interstate Park, L. I., Sept. 13.— The contest between Dr. A. A. 
Webber, of Brooklvn, and Mr. S. M. Van Allen, of Jamaica, 
evoked a great deal of interest in shooting circles since the match 
was made. The general consensus of opinion was that Van Allen 
would beat the Doctor in a 100-bird race, he having more ex- 
perience in such matches, and besides was in fine form. Indeed 
his score of 95 is excellent as scores go, and \vould have won in a 
majority of contests against good shooters. The Doctor killed all 
his birds, the 3 lost dying dead out. 
Mr. J. S. S. Remsen acted as referee, and received much praise 
for the skillful manner in which he officiated.

Resolutions of Respect, 
Chicago, 111.. Sept. 15.— On Aug. 28, 1900, the members of the 
Chicago Gt»n Club were called together in special meeting to take 
action upon the death of Mr. L. H. Goodrich, a member of the 
club and an ex-officer of the same. A committee was appointed 
and the following expressions of esteem for the departed and of 
sympathy for his wife were adopted, and the Secretary was in- 
structed to enter a copy of same on the minute book of the club 
and to send a copy to the Forest and Stream: 
Death has taken from the ranks of our club one of its oldest 
and most popular members, Mr. L. H- Goodrich, and we, as 'a 
club wish to express our bereavement in the loss of our old friend 
and brother Nowhere in life are the ties of friendship and brother- 
hood more firmly knit than among sportsmen, and never was bet- 
ter tnend or sportsman than he whom we now mourn In everv 
particular a true gentleman, generous, modest and sincere excel- 
ling in his favorite pastime, but never boastful when speakin<^ 
of his own qualifications, Mr. Goodrich may well be remembered 
as a type for emulation by those who will alwavs esteem his mam- 
ory as a personal friend. As a congenial compknion we shall miss 
him and his place among us wc can never fill. Realizing the 
weakness of our ability to mitigate this irreparable loss, none the 
less our purpose m desiring , to do so is sincere and honest, and 
we hereby tender to his widow our deepest and tenderest sym- 
pathy m this hour of affiiction. Respeclfuhv,
