IN NEW JERSEY. 
Trenton Shooting Association. 
Trenton, N. J., April 27.— Joyful notes! Thank heaven for the 
hne weather that we had on the day of the shoot; that we had a 
big crowd; that all the boys were in good humor; that 1 have a 
twelve-man team for the Frankford shoot; that it is going to win 
by the same token; and finally that I made a good score for the 
brst time with a pump gun. 
Feeling somewhat indisposed on the day of the shoot, Mr. J. R. 
laylor very kindly took the job of opening up and running things 
'ri place, and I did not get down until late in the afternoon. 
1 he banging of the rainmaking squad set my blood to gurgatating. 
and It was impossible to keep out of it, all of my work being done 
with Mr. Taylor's pump. 
The boys were shooting in very good form, that oi the recently 
acquired members being especially creditable. After Frankford, 
the N. J. S. S. A. shoot at Newark will claim our attention Mem- 
bers of the White Hill Club were visitors, and enioved themselves 
at the traps:

Missouri State Shoot. 
bT. LoDis, May 4.— The time is now at hand to say a few words 
in reference to the Missouri State shoot, which takes place in St. 
Louis during the last week in May, 
Our programme will be in the mail long before this is printed, 
and the sportsmen of the country will have an opportunity of look- 
ing It over. 
Most of the trapshooters can go to only one tournament a year, 
and they like to go where the best attractions are offered. We draw 
our shooters not only from Missouri but Kansas, Illinois, Arkansas, 
Tennessee, Oklahoma and Texas; each sends large delegations 
The reason of this large attendance is the liberal character of the 
programmes in former years. The management does not take a 
cent from the ptages, beyond the price of the targets or live birds; 
in fact, it has added to them. Added money is a great drawing 
card, and to each target event the St. Louis Shooting Association 
has added $10 to the 15-target races and_$15 to the 20-target races, 
except the prize events. 
In the team race we guarantee $100. We add $25 to the State 
championship, and a like amount to the Interstate contest. The 
prize events carry valuable prizes, such as a Parker gun, an Ithaca 
gun, a Stevens rifle, a case of Mumm's champagne, and many 
other articles of value and usefulness. 
The number of targets has been reduced to 140 per day, so that 
it will be a saving of both shells and money, and sportsmen will 
have time for becoming better acquainted with each other, also 
time to see something of St. Louis. 
The tournament will be managed by Dave Elliott, who has entire 
charge of Dupont Park. 
Two magautraps and Fulford's live-bird underground traps are 
competent to trap 8,000 targets a day and 1,000 birds. If we do 
that it will be satisfactory. 
The Republic cup and the Lemp trophy make two events of 
national importance, each one being worth a good deal to win. 
If you are going to a shoot this year, come to St. Louis, for the 
following reasons: 
First— You will be in good company, and will know a lot of the 
other shooters. 
Second — The programme is attracti\'e; 
Third— The Rose system of division of moneys g:uarantees you a 
just percentage of the purse. 
Fourth — You man win the Republic cup. 
Fifth — If you don't win the Republic cup you still have a 
chance to win the Lemp medal. 
And finally — You will become a better shot by shooting here a 
week with some of the best marksmen in the country, and you 
will be able to compare yourself with them. 
If you have not received your programme write to Herbert 
Taylor, Sec'y.

New Castle Noter. 
New CaASle, Pa., May 4.— Herewith inclosed find scores of a 
shoot held May 2. In the contest for the bronze medal, which 
carries- with it the championship of western Pennsylvania, L, B. 
iteming, challenger, won from Atkinson, holder, by the score of 
90 to 86. Mr. Atkinson held the medal for more than a year 
against all, and gives it up to the winner with the best feelings 
imaginable It is very probable that some of the experts of the 
Herron Hill Gun Club, of Pittsburg, will challenge Fleming 
A high wind prevailed during the day, making the flight of the 
rocks very erratic, but giving us all a much-wanted excuse for our 
poor shooting.

The Proposed Anglo-American Clay Pigeon Match. 
We are informed that the arrangements in connection with the 
proposed match between teams of American and British inanimate 
bird shooters are taking a definite form. It has been decided to 
nominate a team of twenty shooters, selected from the best-known 
shots m this branch of sport. Each member of the team will de- 
posit his own proportion of the £500 of stake money required. The 
actual shooters in the match will be selected from this team of 
twenty, the remainder acting as reserve' men to take the place of 
any who may be displaced on account of illness or other causes. 
The whole of the team of twenty will be considered as members 
of the British team shotild the home representatives prove the 
winners. So far twelve shooters out of the twenty selected have 
accepted nomination under the conditions above outlined and 
there is every likelihood that the list will be completed within the 
next few days. It is intended that the match shall take plac^ at 
the grounds of the Middlesex Gun Club, Hendon but the time 
has not yet been definitely settled. It is, however, to be hoped that 
a more convenient date than that at present mooted will be fixed, 
since the first week of August would find London empty and most 
shooting men more keenly interested in the early approach of the 
twelfth than in a competitive match of this description.— London 
Field of April 20. 
Admonished by the G)«rt. 
The venerable Judge Allen, of the United States Circuit 
Court, at Springfield, 111., was hearing a case a few years 
ago, in which James C. Courtney was one of the attorneys. 
The counsel on the opposite side had asked a question 
of a witness, and Courtney had objected. The point was 
argued by both sides, and the objection was overruled. 
The opposite lawyer asked the same question of the next 
witness, and Courtney again objected, and began to argue 
it over again. Judge Allen interrupted him with this 
observation: "'Mr. Courtney, you remind me of a dog 
that keeps barking up the tree after the 'coon is gone. 
Mr. Courtney subsided. — Argonaut. 
The Hon. F. D. Allen possesses a unique souvenir of 
his college days at Yale of which he is justly proud and 
which he treasures very carefully. It is only a plain bit 
of cardboard with a hole in the center, but it has a history, 
for it is a memorial of the expert marksmanship of Prof. 
Loomis, the famous mathematician. 
One day in the class room Prof. Loomis, in illustrating 
the principle of the air gun, shot at the card as a target 
across the room. The old gentleman was a bit proud of 
his skill, and the boys knew it. Were he ever to miss his 
aim, they would be extremely delighted, and on this 
occasion they thought they had caught him at last, for the 
second time he shot at the card it was apparent that no 
<*her hole had been made in it. The class had, of course, 
assumed that the card had not been hit, and laughed very 
mirthfully at the professor. But the latter quickly picked 
up the little target and called attention to the fact that 
the original perforation was now enlarged, the second 
missile having struck the edge of the hole first made. 
There was never any doubt after that about Prof. 
Loomis being a crack shot, and Frank Allen esteemed him- 
self lucky in securing the card. That was over twenty 
years ago, and he has the card yet.— Boston Evening 
Recca-d.
