FOREST AND STREAM. 
• TJan. 19, 1901. 
IN NEW JERSEY. 
Trenton Shooting Association, 
Trenton, N. J., Jan. 9.— The programme that had been ar- 
ranged for to-day's shoot was knocked into a cocked hat by the 
breaking down of our magautrap and the loss of over two 
hours" time before the break was found. The five-trap bottom 
was put into commission, but the boys prefer the magazine, and 
would not get down to work until it was in shape to use. Besides 
the badge contest, a private match at 25 birds, between Messrs. 
Widmann and Comp, and the final contest for the Walsrode cup 
was on the cards. On account of the late hour when we got 
started, the boys were rushed out to shoot their 25 targets in 
rather undignified haste, and those who had a chance to tie on 
25 were sent out to shoot their handicap allowance. Four men 
made that score — Messrs. Cole, Comp. Mickel and Jaques — and 
they will shoot off the tie on the 16th, the date of the second 
team race with Freehold, on our grounds. 
Harrison and Cole tied for the gold badge, and Mickel and 
Coates for_ the silver one, and agreed to let the score of the first 
10 targets in the cup handicap decide who was to hold them, with 
the result that Cole and Mickel won in the order named. 
The Widmann-Comp match was also called off until the 16th. 
Besides the learn race, a number of merchandise events will be 
arranged:

took place to-day at Holmesburg Tunction, it being the annual 
meeting, team shoot and banquet of the organization. Messrs. H. 
Henry and J. Brewer were the captains. The conditions were 7 
birds per man, 30yds. rise, the losing teams to pay for the 
banquet, Capt. Henry's men, who lost by 4 birds, gaining that 
pleasure. Some of the good shots on Henry's team were very 
erratic, Landis and Painter each losing 3 birds. 
Another team match under the same conditions for a purse was 
shot. Brewer's team again won. 
The annual meeting followed the supper. The secretary-trcas-- 
urer's report showed the league to be in a healthy financial con- 
dition. Twent5'-seven thousand birds were trapped last year. . The 
officers elected were: W. H. Pack, President; Charles H. Fitz- 
gerald, Vice-President; George E. Pack, Secretary-Treasurer;

Florists' Gun Club. 
Phil.\dei-phia, Pa., Jan. 8.— The regular monthly shoot of the 
Florists' Gun Club was held to-day on the grounds of the Frank- 
ford Gun Club, at Summerdale, on the Reading R. R., near 
Frankford. Concerning these grounds, a local paper states as 
follows: 
"These grounds are nicely located, and when complete will be 
one of the most perfect target shooting resorts in this vicinity. 
A set of five expert traps is now in place, and ground has been 
broken for a magautrap. Back of the club house is a dense 
wood, which will furnish ample shade for the shooters during the 
hot summer days. The Florists are looking for a new shooting 
grounds, as public improvement will soon compel them to aband-on 
their grounds at Wissinoming. Several clubs have offered the 
use of their grounds, and they will give each one a trial before 
deciding." • 
In the club contest each man shot at 25 targets, known angles, 
and 25 unknown, the handicap being added to the score. Fifty 
was the maximum limit that could be scored:
