FOREST AND STREAM 
The Interstate Park Association has sent out a letter to the 
members of the G. A. H. eommittee, as follows: "It seems ad- 
visable that a system of handicapping be adopted for the govern- 
ment of Interstate Park events other than club events (as they 
make their own rules), which would be equitable, and which would 
protect the amateur or poorer shot against the professional or 
better shot. It seems to us that the best committee that we could 
appoint for this purpose would be probably the gentlemen who 
have served on previous Grand American Handicap committees 
and a representative man from each of the clubs in and around 
Greater New York, so far as they are known to us. Will you 
serve on such a committee? If so, we will shortly advise you 
when it would perhaps be best to meet and take the matter in 
hand^ — perhaps a Saturday afternoon at Interstate Park would be 
the best. Please consider the matter and advise us at your earliest 
convenience." It will be a wise course to give the handicaps 
serious attention, as therein lies the true eciuity of the competition 
when shooters of variable skill are contesting. 
The Interstate Park Association has sent to the shooters of New- 
York and vicinity a circular letter calling attention to the condi- 
tions of the Interstate Park Handicap, with which the shooters of 
this vicinity do not seem to be familiar. The handicap is held 
on Wednesday of each week at Interstate Park, and the condi- 
tions are as follows: Five entries to fill, 25 birds each, handicaps 
25 to 32yds., |10 entrance, birds extra, sweep optional. Five 
dollars in gold added by the Association to the high gun. When 
there are four individual winners, these four will shoot oflf at 
their original handicaps, at 25 birds each. Twenty dollars in 
gold added by the Association to the high gun. As matters stand 
now, there is only one winner, there having been only • two 
shoots, both being won by S. M. Van Allen.

John Wright's live-bird shoot at Interstate Park, which takes 
place on Dec. 11, is one of the premier attractions at that shooting 
resort for the month of December. John's programme has been 
rhailed to all those of his friends who have given hiffl their ad- 
dresses. Other copies can be had on application to Mr. Wright, 
318 Broadway, New York. The events scheduled for the day are 
a 0 and a 7 bird race at $3 and $5 respectively, the purses in these 
events going to tile three high guns. Events Nos. 3 and 4 are 
at 10 and 15 birds respectively, the entrance fees being $" and $10. 
Purses in the last two events will be divided class shooting, three 
moneys in the 10-bird race and four moneys in the 1.5-bird event. 
Birds are included in all entrance fees at 2B cents each. Shooting 
commences at lO o'clock sharp. 
The Boston Shooting Association will give an all-day tourna- 
ment at Wellington, Mass., on Dec. 8, open to all amateurs in 
New England. The programme consists of ten target events, ag- 
gregating ISO targets, with a total entrance fee of $12.80. All 
events will be shot with a distance handicap as follows': Amateurs 
of 75 per cent, ahd below, l6yds. ; 78 per cent. 19 85 per cent., 
18yds. ; 85 _per cetit. and over, 20yds. To the w-inner of event 
No. 4, at 25 targets, expert, a silver cup will be given in addition 
to the usual sweep inoney. Professionals and paid agents may 
shoot for targets only. Shooting will begin at 10 A. M. 
A few years ago the name of W. H. Brady, of Detroit, Mich., 
was a name to conjure with in the Michigan Trapshooters" League. 
Mr. Brady was a prominent and popular member of that organiza- 
tion, and was also well known at most of the tournaments held 
this side of the Rocky Mountains. His many friends will regret 
to learn that he met his death early last week through the ac- 
cidental discharge of a shotgun, while making preparations to go 
OH a duckiflg trip. He was buried on Thursday, Nov. 22, being 
surrounded at the last by a Very large number of the friends be 
had made during a comparatively short life. 
A match was arranged to take place at Interstate Park oii 
Fridav afternoon, Nov. 23, between Col. Thomas Martin, of 
Blui?ton, S. C, and T. W. Morfey, the conditions to be the 
usual ones — 100 live birds per man. "30yds. rise, 50yds. boundary, 
$100 a side, loser to pay for the birds. As luck would have it, the 
Colonel, who is a business man as well as a sportsman, was called 
suddenly to the South; hence the match had to be postponed, 
but not' indefinitely, as Col. Martin expects to be back in New 
YorTc in about three weeks or so. 
This is the week of the Kansas City-Omaha team match, ten 
men a side, 50 live birds per man. The match is to be shot at 
Omaha, Nov. 30-Dec. 1. It may be of interest to record the results 
in the two matches that took place last season. The first was shot 
at Kansas City on Nov. 24-25, 1899, Omaha winning by the score 
of 4^ to 437. The second match was shot at Omaha. Jan. 26-27 of 
this vear, Omaha winning by 7 birds,- with a total of 441 to 
Thus' Kansas City (Jim Elliott's town) has something to wipi 
the slate.

The injury to Mr. H. Yale Dolan, who was accidentally shot 
by his brother Clarence quite recently, proves to have been only 
slight, the wound consisting of some nine or ten peFIets of large 
shot in his right arm. in the region of the biceps. Slight as was 
the injury, a few inches higher would have been mtich more seri- 
ous, probably causing the loss on one or both of his eyes. It is 
a pleasure to record that Mr. Dolan is now quite recovered from 
the effects of his wounds, and will be seen at the traps this season 
much as usual. 
Tom Donley had a lot of pigeons left on his hands after his 
tournament was over. He made a mistake in mixing up targets 
with live birds, the boys being ofiF shooting targets just when Tom 
wanted them to be pegging away at live birds. He announces 
that he is going to try another tournament next May, setthig 
apart days for target events and also days for live birds. No 
mixture next time. 
Gun clubs which desire the aid of the Interstate Association in 
the matter of giving target tournaments during the season of 1901 
should remember that the annual meeting of the Association is 
to be held Thursday, Dec 13, and that all applications for such 
tournaments should be in the hands of Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, 122 
IDiamond Market, Pittsburg, Pa., prior to that date.

Notivithstanding- his great score in his recent match for the 
Dupont trophy with Morfey, Welch has not grown an inch taller; 
neither is he wearing a hat with a larger band around it. On the 
contrary, he is somewhat disgruntled at the idea of having let a 
single pigeon beat him! You can't please some people, no matter 
what you do for them. 
Messrs. Abraham Pierce and John F. Zimmer defeated Messrs. 
Thomas Dwyer and Wm. J. Thompson, Jr., at Gloucester City, 
N. J., on Nov. 22 in a m.atch at 10 birds, 21yds. rise. The match 
was" a tie at the end of the first event, each team scoring 14, but 
in the shoot-off Messrs. Pierce and Zimmer won by 1 bird. 
th 
Nothing has been heard from "The Dominie" since he left here 
■ e first part of November for his old home at Fremont. Neb. 
As Mr. Beveridge had, previous to his departure, shipped some 
few thousands of shells ahead of him, it is presumed that he is 
too busy to write to his friends "up North" yet awhile. 
At the club shoot of the Flushing Gun Club, at Flushing. L. I., 
on Nov. 24, Messrs. Wm. A. Sands, A. Doncourt and E. J. Clarke 
tied for first place, each breaking 23 out of 25 targets. In the 
shoot-off, miss-and-out, Mr. Sands won in the 12th round, Mr. 
Clarke scoring 11, Mr. Doncourt Jr; 
Capt. J. A. H. Dressel was the recipient on Monday of this week 
of a basket of quail, and at <ince issued invitations for a "quail 
supper" at Interstate Park on the following Tuesday evening. 
The acceptances of the invitations were ntimeroviB, but there were 
enough quail to go around. ^ 
Guv Burnside's tareet and live-bird tournament at Galesburg, 
111,. Def". 4-7. will occupy the attention of the crackerjacks prior 
to the John Watson tournament at Chicago the week following. 
Mr. Burn.side ha.s arrane-ed a programitie for three days at targets 
and one day at live birds. 
The people who reside in the vicinity of Dexter Park complain 
of the shooting that goes on at that popular resort. They ciaim 
that stray pellets of shot rattle around them and theii- houses, and 
that the "scouts" who hang around the outside of the feflce on 
shooting days, chasing wounded birds, are a constant source of 
annoyance to them and their families. They are therelore petition- 
ing the city authorities to abate the nuisance. 
Harold Money has been doing but little trapshooting of late, 
having been devoting his attentions to the ruffed grouse and quail 
that haunt the hills and swamps around Oakland, N. J. The hills 
are high and rugged, and birds are scarce and wild, but Mr. 
Money does not carry much weight and is sound in wind and 
limb. The cofhers of his game pockets therefore contain sundry 
beautiful brown feathers. 
•I 
It is no longer "Lieutenant" Noel E. Morfey, but "Captain" of 
that name. Mr. Money, who was wounded recently by a Boer bul- 
let down in South Africa, is now out of the hospital and at the 
head of his troop of Imperial Yeomanry, his captain having been 
killed in action.

The C)s5ining Gun Club, of Sing Sing^ N. Y., will hold a live- 
bird and target shoot at its grounds on 1 hanksgiving Day. Shoot- 
ers from Yonkers, Tarrytown, Peekskill and other nearby towns 
have promised to attend, and the shoot bids fair to be' an entire 
H. D. Bates, of Ridgetown, Ont., Can., winner of this year's 
Grand American Handicap, has made a match with Jim Elliott, 
and will shoot Jim on even terms for a solid money consideration. 
On paper the match looks a lead-pipe cinch for the American. 
A special dispatch from our Mississippi Valley correspondent, 
Mr. F. C. Riehl, informs us that St. Louis has challenged Chicago 
to shoot a match of eight-men teams, each man to shoot at 25 live 
birds, the contest to take place at Chicago, on Dec. 8. 
The Pastime Gun Club, of Brantford, Ont., Can., will hold its 
annual tournament on Dec. 11-13, at Brantford. There will be live 
birds and targets, all events will be open to the world, and all 
purses guaranteed. Mr. C. J. ISHtchell is secretary.

Jack Fimniiig shet a few live birds last Saturday afternoon "just 
to see how it Went!" He got them all — but one. Some day soon 
he'll be asking some ofle to shoot him a race. - When he does 
the fun will not be all on the other fellow's side. 
The Lincoln, Neb., Gun Club, announces that the twenty-fifth 
annual tournament of the Nebraska State Sportsmen's Association 
will be held under its auspices at Lincoln on May 7-10, 1901. Mr. 
W. D, Bain is secretary of the club. 
m 
"Uncle John" Watson's shoot at his park, Dec. 11-14, should 
be well attended. Mr. Watson has gotten out an attractive pro- 
gramme of events fqr the occasion, and there is no other shoot 
that clashes with it.

At Interstate Park. 
Interstate Park. L. I., Nov. 24.— On Wednesday, Nov. 21, the 
regular 25 live-bird Interstate Park handicap' event was not shot, 
as on account of the storm-threatening weather,- the shooters did 
not appear. 
Some very interesting events were shot, however, by COh Thomas 
Martin, of Blufflon. S. C, and T. W. Morfey, of Queens'.- Both 
men stood at the SOvd. mark, and shot at 10 pairs live birds, iH 
which Morfey scored '13 to the Colonel's 12. Birds were very fast.- 
In the next 10-pair event the Colonel won, his score being 14 to 
Morfey's 12. Then followed three 25 live-bird events. Scores as 
follows: Martin 22, Morfey 23. Martin 24, Morfey 23. Martin 21, 
Morfey 23. Morfey was the winner in two out of the three events. 
Both men then stood at the 33yd. mark and shot at 25 live birds, 
the breeze meantime increasing steadily, and bringing the scores 
down. In this event they tied at 21, and it was so dark it was im- 
possible to shoot if off. 
On Thursday the Medicus Club held its regular shoot at live 
ijirds. In the first event, a 15-live-bird event. Dr. Wynn and Dr. 
Casey tied, each having scored 14. In the shoot-oft Dr. Wynn 
came out victor. 
In the shoot for the club, trophy Dr. Wynn, Dr. Casey and 
Williams tied, each having scored 9, . In the shoot-ofF Dr. Wynn 
was again the victor. 
The match between Col. Thomas Martin and T. W. Morfey 
which was to be held on Friday, and was looked forword to with 
so much eagerness on the part of so many, was necessarily post- 
Doned, as the Colonel was called home unexpectedly. In De- 
cember, however, the Colonel will be with us again, and he vrill 
then shoot .Mr. Morfey a lOO-live-bird match, $100 a side, a id fouj 
other matches as well, with crack shots, all to be held at Interstate 
Park. 
On Saturday the weather was again very stormy, so the regular 
weekly shoot of the New Utrecht Gun Club was not so well at- 
tended as usual. There were two lO-live-bird events, $5 entrance. 
First event: C. A. Lockwood 7, J. Toplitz 7, C. M. Lincoln 9. 
Second event: C. A. Lockwood 9, Toplitz 8, Lincoln 9. J. S- 
Fanning 10.

A New England Shooter's Opinion. 
VA^ixcHESTER, N. H., Nov. 22.— Editor Forest and Stream: As th€ 
season for trapshooting here is almost over, I wish to offer a few 
remarks, which may be amusing, if not interesting, to some of 
what I call the crank shots. 
Early last .spring I assisted in organizing a gun club in this 
place. We started with a membership of fourteen, I think. None 
of us but one had ever shot from a trap. We have met with 
fair success in every way. 
About twenty years ago it was my fortune to witness a shooting 
event of a first-class club in Massachusetts. At that time the gun- 
ner was obliged by the rules to stand ready for the shot and to 
hold the stock of his gun below the elbow on or near the hip-" 
and I claim that position as the only proper way in which a sports- 
nian should shoot. Imagine a man out in the bush looking for 
live birds walking around with his gun up to his shoulder with 
his eye sighted along the barrel of his gun! How does it look to 
see a man stand behind a trap with his gun to his shoulder as if 
glued to the spot? I do not intend to say that he cannot break 
more birds in this way, but I do claim that the man who breaks 
20 targets by what is called the snap shot method is exercising bet- 
ter marksmanship than if he broke 3 or 4 more in t'he way that 
most people shoot at this day. 
We have a man in our club who practiced the snap shot method 
early in the season, and he never, I think, broke over IS birds; 
yet the first time he tried the other way he broke 22. I do nor 
think my record worthy of much notice, but I give it here as an 
example of what can be accomplished by the snap shot principle. 
On July 4 I shot three events of 25 targets each, and scored 19. 
21, 21. 
I notice that each year the rules are becoming more liberal, and 
I shall not be surprised to see in no far distant time the rules so 
amended as to allov/ the gunner a couch to lie upon, with a 
crane upon which to rest his gun, and an attendant to swing the 
crane on a line with the bird, so that all the gunner will have to 
do is to watch his chance and pull the trigger when the bird 
comes on a line with the sight. 
I never shot from a trap until this season, and no doubt these 
remarks will be subject to some comment by some of those who 
have had more experience than I have had, and who are not safs- 
fied unless they can make rules to enable them to break a great 
number of targets by any other method than that of true an^d scieti-
