On Tuesday of next week at Interstate Park, L. I., Messrs. 
J. J. Hallowell and T. W. Morfey will shoot a match at. 100 birds 
each, for $100 a side. Both are famous and skillful shooters, hence 
the race should be close and interesting. 
Mr. F. C. Bissett, of South River, N. J., announces a live-bird 
shoot under his management on Thursday 'of this week, com- 
mencing at 1:30 o'clock. He announces that plenty of birds will 
be on hand for the shooting events. 
Mr. W. Fred Quimby, of the E C & Schultze Powder Co., re- 
turned recently from a long business trip in the West. He leaves 
early this week for the firing line at Baltimore, Md., where the 
good shots congregate. 
The good shooters of Fremont, Neb., will have among them 
in a few weeks a clerical shot of exceedingly high merit, hence 
they would do weli to furbish up their slrooting gear and prepare 
to defend their laurels.

Mr. John W'atsonj of Burnside Crossing, Chicago, 111., informs 
us that his annual live-bird tournament will be held on Dec. 11 to 
14, inclusive, and that the programme will be ready for distribu- 
tion about Nov. 15. 
In the shoot of the Emerald Gun Club, held last week at Dexter 
Park, Dr. O'Connell, Dr. Webber, W. A. Sands and J. P. Kay 
killed 10 straight, that number comprising the club event. 
There is a probability that Mr. W. R. Crosby, of O 'Fallon, 111., 
will challenge Mr. J. A. R. Elliott to contest for the cast iron 
medal, which the latter still wears on his chatelaine. 
In its third weekly live-bird shoot of the season, held by the 
Garfield Gun Club last Saturday, Dr. J. W. Meek made a straight 
score from the 31yds. mark in the club event at 10 birds. 
m 
Mr. W. L. Colville, of the Dupont Powder Co., has been 
making an extended business tour through Pennsylvania of late 
and has had gratifying success. 
On Oct 16 the Trapshooters' League of Indiana granted to the 
Peru Gun Club, Peru, Ind., sanction for a tournament on Oct. 
30 and 31.

Attoona Rod and Gun Club* 
Altoona, Pa. — Not for many a day has it been my good fortune 
to be present at a shoot that was more generally enjoyed by par- 
ticipants and onlookers than that given by the Altoona Rod and 
Gun Club on Saturday, Oct. 13. The principal event was a 15-live- 
Irird race, handicap rise, 15 entrance, birds extra, four moneys, 
class shooting. 
A fifteen minutes' trolley ride from the center of the city lands 
you right at the grounds. A spacious club house, of some 50 by 
50 feet dimensions, is located in a beautiful level meadow. The 
house is a model for the purpose for which it was constructed. 
There is every convenience one could wish for, from a large 
lounging room to well appointed dining and kitchen apartments, 
where caterers serve in up-to-date style meals and refreshments 
fit for the gods, and all free, too, to visitors. 
On arriving at the grounds we found everything in readiness, 
and promptly at 9:30 the shooting was begun. There were twenty- 
nine entries, and it therefore required the scoring of 435 birds 
to complete the race. This was accomplished in less than five 
hours, and was very pretty work. Secretary Zeth, Capt, Kiliitts,. 
Billy Sands and other enthusiastic members of the club worked 
in splendid unison, and the result was that there was not a mo- 
ment's delay throughout the contest. Ed Kottmann's dog Kit 
did most of the retrieving, and his excellent work was the subject 
of much comment. The first 25 birds were only a fair lot, but 
after that they were quick starters and very fast, down to the 
last crate, and it required 5ome fine work to score many of the 
twisters that came from the traps like rockets. It was two to one 
that nobody would go straight, and the bet was a good one. 
Thirty men had entered a week in advance of the date pf the 
shoot, and all save one either appeared or sent a substitute. Among 
the substitutes were several rtianufacturers' agents, who shot for 
the price of birds only, tjie conditions of the race not allowing 
any but amateurs to enter for the purse. 
After the live-bird event had been finished the remainder of the 
afternoon was devoted to target shooting. The day had been a 
delightful one up to this time, but now a cold rain began to fall. 
This, however, did not interfere with the target shooting, as the 
score is under a large pavilion and amply protected in all kinds 
of weather. 
The entrance to the house and that part of the grounds used . 
by the shooters were roped off, and spectators were not per- 
mitted to come within the inclosure. Chairs and shelter were 
provided for them on the outside. In this way the large crowd 
was handled without the least confusion. 
The scores follow. Live-bird handicap:

ON LONG ISLAND. 
Money vs. Morfey. 
Interstate Park, L. I., Oct. 19.— To-day at Interstate Park, L. I., 
Mr. H. B. Money defeated Mr. T. W. Morfey in a match at 100 
live birds each for $100 a side. Each stood at 33yds. Morfey was 
suffering somewhat from rhevimatism. 
Money shot in excellent time and pointed his gun with admirable 
precision. While the birds were a good lot, he prevented them 
from becoming hard by his quick shooting, catching them close to 
the traps. He had the race well in hand from the beginning, and 
won on the rather wide margin of 91 to 83. The scores:

Morfey vs. "Webfacr. 
Interstate Park, L. I., Oct. IS.— The match between Dr. A. A. 
Webber and Mr. T. W. Morfey at 100 birds each, the former at 
30yds., the latter at 31, was closely contested, and resulted in 
a good race to-day. At the end of the first 25 the Doctor was 1 
ahead, but in the second 25 Morfey killed straight, while Webber 
lost 4, and thereafter was never headed. He won out with 4 to 
the good, the scores being 96 to 92. The scores contain the par- 
ticulars, as follows : .

Elliott vs. Gilbert for the Cast Iron Medal. 
RicHMOND,_ Va., Oct. 20.— Jim Elliott is still the proud possessor 
of the cast iron badge, having once more proved his title to it 
by to-day defeating Fred Gilbert. Score, 98 to 93. It was an ideal 
day for a shoot — a nice cool breeze, not enough to inconvenience 
any one, a bright sun and a snap in the air to make the birds 
lively. Not that the birds needed much enlivening, for they were 
quite a good lot, nearly all of them leaving the traps in a hurrj-, 
as though they knew what was in store for them, and very few 
needing a second hint, 
. The shoot was held at Baseball Park, and a fair-sized crowd, in- 
cluding many ladies, watched the race with interest, manifesting 
their appreciation frequently. 
Elliott had a bit the best of the luck as to birds, though there 
was not very much in it. Both men made some rattling second- 
barrel stops which woke up the grand stand. 
_ Elliott's 2 lost birds were simply streaks, his 15th, a circling 
right-quarterer, showing very little sign of being hit, and his 97th, 
a circling left-quarterer, escaping, apparently unhurt. His 13th 
bird came very near being a blot on his score, as it only fell 6in 
short of the back line. His 50th, 58th, 67th, 69th and 81st birds were 
all clinking good ones and required Jim's best efforts to stop them; 
but stop them he did, in a way that made many realize what it 
is that makes him champion. 
Gilbert also gave a grand exhibition, and used his second barrel 
very effectively, stopping many, notably his 20th (a hard incomer), 
24th, 28th, 36th, 40th and 42d, which many of the spectators 
thought would escape. 
The birds were supplied by W. C. Lyndham. Franklin .Slearns, 
Jr., acted as referee; R. F. Banks as official scorer, and W J 
Lynham as trap puller. 
The score tells the rest of the story:

Wlicn Fred Gilbert arrived in Richmond Friday afternoon he

Before the cast iron shoot W. A. Hammond and Franklin Stearns
