At Interstate Park, 
Interstate Park, L, I., Sept. 20.— The shoot of the Brooklyn 
Gun' Club, under John Wright's management, had a good at- 
tendance. A number of side events were shot beside the regular 
programme, the latter being a mixed affair of live birds and 
targets. Several side races were shot, the most interesting being 
that between Messrs. Banks and Morfey at 100 targets, the scores 
of which were as follows: E. Banks 87, T. W. Morfey 81. 
In two races at 25 targets between Mr. G. S. Remsen and B. 
Waters the former won so decisively by 20 to IS and 21 to 16 that 
the latter declared he would never shoot again till the next time. 
It might have been worse if 16 to L > 
The live-bird events follow: 
Seven birds, $5, birds included:

W. Flopkins killed 3 and won the most money, which is a 
testimonial to the equity of the class sysvem. The others had 
tears to shed, but were too busy to shed them then.

Baltimore Shooting Association. 
Baltimore, Md., Sept. 22.— To-day started the live-bird shooting 
at the Baltimore Sheeting Association grounds, but only a few 
shooters put in an appearance, as they have been dtSing so much 
shooting on the fiats; but in our next we hope to have all the 
boys practicing for our coming Dupont cup shoot on Oct. 23, 24 
and 25. The boys are gomg to give you a good shoot. If you 
don't think so, just come and try it. 
The feature of to-day's shoot" was the 50-bird race between 
Schultze and Savage for the price of the birds and a side bet 
They were selected birds, and with a strong wind behind theni 
made very hard shooting. The scores are considered very good 
under such conditions. Schultze's 5th and 30th were dead just 
over bounds; also Savage's 30th and 38th. 
There was quite an interesting race for the price of the birds 
5 birds each, loser to pay for the birds, between Schultze, Bonday 
and Darling on one side and Malone, Burke and Savage on the 
other. Schultze's side lost the first race, but won the second 
The boys want to know how Schultze could possibly lose' with 
that large ugly hat of hjs diked out with the blile, red and yellow 
mascots brought trom Richinond? 
Following are the scores;

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Sept. 24.— These scores were made at the last 
regular shoot of the Hudson Gun Club. The day was fine, but the 
light was not as good as might have been. The attendance was 
larger than for some time past. Some good scores were made, as 
can be seen by the summary. 
This was club shoot day, and C. F. Floyd came out on top. 
He was shooting- a new gun— a hammer Parker— and did very 
well, considering that it was the first time he used it. At the 
last shoot he was shooting a pump, and broke 101 out of 104 shot at. 
At the shoot to-day good scores were made by Schorty, Duke, 
Piercy and De Long. 
The next shoot will occur on Oct. 7, and will last all day. Re- 
freshments will be served gratis, and all shooters are welcome.

In the Matter of Handicaps— III. 
Several of our correspondents have written to us, asking for a 
more definite explanation concerning the plan of a distance handi- 
cap, and we therefore present herewith a diagram of the correct 
plan. 
The dotted lines show the common plan of a distance handi- 
cap. It is apparent concerning it that the closer in the shooter is 
to the traps the more difficult will be the shots at Nos. 1 and 5 
at the score. 
The fan-shaped plan affords easier shooting for the short dis- 
tance men, and more difficult for the long-distance men as will 
be apparent on referring to the diagram. It therefore embodies 
the true principle of a handicap. 
If the shooters were placed 5yds. apart at the 16yd. mark instead 
of 3yds., as is the scale of the diagram, it would thereby place the 
shooters still wider apart on the back marks. 
No lengthy argument is necessary to demorjstrate tlje differenrp 
betweeri the two systems, ' ■ < , \. . ..hvv
