Miss May Clinton (Mrs. Geo. E, Bartlett), togetlier with her 
shooting partner, Miss Pauline Cooke, bqth known in the theatrical 
profession as the Misses Cooke and Clinton, lady sharpshooters, 
are to go with Capt. Bartlett to Europe to give exhibitions with 
the rifle, shotgun and revolver. They will start soon after March 
I 1, 1901. Their foreign engagements begin at Copenhagen, Den- 
mark, April 1, and their engagements in Germany, Russia, J^ng- 
land and France will keep them abroad for at lea.st a year, and 
possibly for several years. Capt. Bartlett is now in the employ 
of the Marlin Repeating Arms Co., and although he will sever his 
connection with this company when he starts on liis trip, he will 
continue to use Marlin guns.

Concerning its next holiday shoot the Trenton Shooting Asso- 
ciation has issued announcement as follows: "The annual 
Thanksgiving Day shoot of the Trenton Shooting Association 
(late Walsrode) will take place on the grounds at Hutchinson s 
r.ake. near White Horse, N. J. Principal event: 15-targct handi- 
cap for a Winchester repeating rifle. Entrance 50 cents. Sweep- 
slakes for turkeys and cash purses will follow. Cost of targets 
included in all of the regular events. For shooting off ties, 1 cent 
per target will be charged. For practice or shooting for targets 
only, 1% cents per target. Shooting will begin at 1 P. M. Trolley 
cars marked 'Yardville' direct to the grounds. 'We always have 
a good time.' Geo. N. Thomas, Trenton, N. J., is secretary." , 
Judging from the scores put up by R. i\. AVelch and 1. \\ . 
Morfey in their match for the Dupont trophy at Interstate 
Park on Monday of this week, when Welch defended liis title 
to the trophy by killing 99 to Morfey's 98, no professional in 
the country would have a cinch with either of the two shooters 
named. I^v the way, one of the New York daily papers ol 
Tuesday of' this week, in its efforts to give its readers the news, 
published a full-length portrait of Mr. Welch, which was excellent 
11. every respect except that it showed him to be left-handed, 
whereas '"Bobby" always has been a right-handed shot. 
One of the. most recent visitors to New York is Mr. Frank A. 
Hollenbeck, who gave his name to the Hollenbeck gun and or- 
ganized the Syracuse Anns Co. Latterly Mr. Hollenbeck has been 
■with the Baltimore Arms Co., but is now on his own hook, and is 
showing to the trade his new three-barrel gun. This gun weighs 
about 7%lbs., and is built up of two 28in. 12-gauge barrels, with a 
rifle barrel underneath, which takes the .25-25 cartridge. This 
naturally makes a handy combination gun where small and large 
gajiie are likely to be met with in the same territory. The rifle barrel 
gives a point blank range up to 100yds., but is sighted for and 
-is guaranteed to be accurate up to 500. 
Messrs. E. I. Dupont, de Nemours & Co., of Wilmington, Del,, 
have published an artistic brochure entitled "Field, Marsh and 
Fen." It is profusely illustrated with scenes which portray the 
themes of its title. Quail, partridge, prairie chicken, grouse, duck, 
shore bird and snipe shooting are illustrated with rare fidelity, and 
the text is replete with description of the habits of the birds and 
the best method of hunting them. A postal card addressed to the 
great firm herein mentioned, with a request for a copy of "Field, 
Marsh and Fen," will cause one to be sent you free of charge. 
Advices from St. Thomas, Ont., Can., the scene of Thomas 
Donley's target and live-bird tournament, state that the first day's 
events were shot in a snow storm, and that the money was divided 
among the following men: W. R. Crosby, J. S. Fannijig, J. A, R. 
Elliott, H. D. Kirkover, Jr., Col, A. R. Courtney, H. D. Bates, 
Thomas Donley, Emile Werk, John Parker, H. Cox, Robert 
Emslie, Mr. Coffey, Mr. McPherson, Mr. Westbrooke. It would 
appear from present indications that the shoot will be a success- 
ful one. 
The progTamme for John Wright's live-bird tournament at In- 
terstate Park, Tuesday, Dec. 11, will shortly be in the hands of all 
his friends. "The Colonel" is not only preparing a programme 
attractive in its details, but also in its general appearance, and 
will take care that each one of his friends receives a copy by mail. 
The list of events^ with the entrance fees, is one that will appeal to 
all shooters who like to get as much fun as they can with a 
moderate outlay.

In regard to the proposed trip of a team of American trapshoot- 
ers to England, there does not seem much chanee of any such 
team going over next' summer, as Capt. A. W, Money, who has 
recently returned from a trip to England, states that lie can hnu 
no encouragement that would warrant anybody organizing such 
a team. In fact, the Englishmen do not seem to be at all 
fascinated with target shooting to the degree that Americans are. 
The match for the E C cup and the inanimate target champion- 
ship of New Jersey, which is now held by Geo. H. Piercy, of 
Jersey City, is to be shot at the East Side Gun Club's grounds. 
Newark, N. J., on Thursday, Dec. 13, which is the date of the 
regular monthly target shoot of the East Side Club. Mr. Piercy's 
opponent will be Chris. Feigenspan the Newark amateur, who held 
the trophy so long during the early part of this year. 
The handicap committee at Tom Donley's tournament, St. 
Thomas, Ont., took good care of the experts, and also saw to it 
that H. D. Bates, this year's winner of the Grand American 
Handicap, looked at the birds from afar off, placing him on the 
31yd. mark. There is quite a difference between 28 and 31yds. 
when the birds are good, and Mr. Bates can now give expert: 
testimony to that effect. 
•t 
J. S. Fanning has returned from an extended trip through the 
South to his home in Jersey City. Jack says that he will now 
have time to smoke a cigar, look around and show some of the 
boys in the vicinity of New York how to break targets and shoot 
live birds. Traveling seems to agree with Jack, for he never 
looked better, in his life than he does at the present time. 
^londay of this week the city was brighter than usual, owing to 
the advent of Mr. H. P. Collins, the agent of Messrs. Dupont for 
the Southern States, who came hither from his home in Balti- 
more. Md. Mr. Collins came to New Y'ork to see the shoot for 
his company's trophy, the details of which appear in these columns. 
»l 
The many friends of Jacob Pentz. the trap editor of Shooting and 
Fishing, will be pleased to hear that his condition is somewhat 
better, and that he hopes shortly to be able to show himself once 
again on Sportmg Goods Row. Mr. Pentz has had a hard bout 
of It. but his sterling constitution has stood him in good stead.

On Saturday, Nov. 24, there will be shot at Watson'.s Park Chi- 
cago, two live-bird sweeps— one at fi birds, S2 entr?"''e h-.|f = •

T)u- same programme will be offered for Thanksgiving Day 
So far as is known at the time of writing, the Elliott-Crosby 
match for the cast iron medal is still pending, Elliott not having 
fixed either time or place — at least to the knowledge of any one 
in this city. There is some talk of shooting it at Belleville, 111., 
a city that is not far from Mr. Crosby's home at O 'Fallon. 
The Omaha Gun Club, Omaha, Neb., will hold a shoot at live 
birds on Thanksgiving Day. A 25-bird handicap, $15 entrance, is 
first on the programme. The first of a series of three team races 
iDetween Kansas City and Omaha will be shot on Nov. 30 and 
Dec. 1, and the second race will be shot in January. 
The fifth of the Webber-Schortemeier series of three-men team 
shoots was shot at Dexter Park, Brooklyn, on Nov. 13. Twu 
teams were entered, one from the Emerald Gun Club, the other 
from the Medicus Gun Club. The former won by a -SCOVc of 57 
to 52. The next contest is to take place Nov. 23. 
Harvey McMurchy, who is now on his way to- California, liajs 
gone out there with the positive intention of introducing his 
Smith gun to the ducks that haunt the marshes of California. His 
idea is that he will sell as many guns as he bags ducks, his running 
mate being Phil Bekeart, of San Francisco, 
Thursday of this week the Medicus Gun Club holds a live-bird 
shoot, open to all, at Interstate Park, commencing at 1 o'clock. 
On Wednesday of this week the third Interstate Park handicap, 
an interesting 25-bird event, engages th.e ■attention of the shooters. 
.\t the regular monthly shoot of the New Haven Gun Club on 
Nov. 14 Capt. Geo. E. Bartlett, of the Marlin Repeating Ams Co., 
carried off the honors by breaking 133 out of 150 targets. The 
wind blew a gale, and the shooting was most difficult.
