The members of the recent American team, six in number, 
which were at Interstate Park, opposed a team of six of the New 
Utrecht Gun Club, on Monday of this week, under conditions 
similar t& those wliich governed the recent Anglo-American 
match. The New Utrecht team had the use of both barrels, IVsoz. 
of shot to a load, and each team stood at the 18yd. mark. The 
targets were thrown hard. The use of the second barrel was not 
of so much value to the New Utrechts as it would be had they 
practiced more with it, for several times its use was forgotten or 
remembered so late that it was of no value. This race furnishes 
a very good line on the relative skill of the average American 
amateur in comparison with that of the American team personnel. 
If the first six scores of each team in the first match of the Anglo- 
Americans are taken for comparison, we find that the total of the 
Americans was 516, while that of the English was 483, or 33 less 
than the Americans, while in the match on Monday, in the same 
number of targets, the New Utrechts were beaten by 20. This 
goes to show that there are hundreds of teams in the United 
States which could outclass the English team in skill. Granting 
the excellence of the American gun and American ammunition, the 
question of skill is also a factor. 
Mr. H. B. Lemcke writes us as follows: "On Aug. 19, 20 and 21 
a grand shoot will be given here, at Asheville, N. C, under the 
patronage of Maj.- E. P. McKissick, of the Battery Park Hotel, 
and Col. J. T. Anthony, of Charlotte, N. C, under the manage- 
ment of Mr. John Parker, of Detroit, Mich. They will add $100 
per day to the purses. This shoot will be open to the world on a 
handicap basis of 14 to 22yds. There will be a one and one-third 
rate of fare from all points on the railroads. The shooting fra- 
ternity of the United States should not miss this grand opportunity 
to visit the City of the Sky. Col. Anthony, that veteran shot, 
calls on the shooting fraternity to respond, and the writer would 
state right here that it is due to Col. Anthony that all the shooters 
who can possibly attend should do so. This is the first shoot that 
the Colonel has ever given partially in his own name, and it is 
due him that a large attendance should greet his initial effort. 
Moneys will be divided under the Rose system of 5, 3, 2 and 1 
in the 15-bird events, and 7, 5, 3, 2 and 1 in the 20 and 25 bird 
events. Programmes will be issued about July 12." 
The rhembers of the American team, notwithstanding the exac- 
tions of Neptune, were the picture of vigorous good health on 
their arrival in New York, and as for happiness, each one felt the 
inspiration of being home again. After their arrival his eleven 
as,sociates felt so kindly toward their captain, the Hon. Thomas 
A. Marshall, for his masterful efficiency, that they presented him 
with a cup. His eleven associates were Rolla O. Heikes, Chas. 
W. Budd, Wm. R. Crosbv, C, M. Powers, Fred Gilbert, E. H. 
Tripp, T. A. R. Elliott, J. 'S. Fanning, F. S. Parmelee, R. Merrill, 
Edward Banks. The cui) is a three-handled loving cup, of solid 
silver, made by Tiffany & Co., of New York. The three handles 
divide the cup into three spaces for inscriptions, on one of which 
are the words, "To Captain Tom A. Marshall." On the other, 
"From the American team," with the names as given above. On 
the third, "London, 1901, Glasgow." Mr. Marshall left for the 
West without the slightest knowledge of any souvenir of the trip 
being presented to him, and the cup will imdoubtedly be a pleasant 
surprise.

IN NEW JERSEY. 
Tfenton'Shooting Association. 
Trenton, N. J., July 10. — A meeting of more than common 
interest took place to-day on the grounds of the Trenton Shooting 
Association. The match for the championship of Mercer coimtv 
between Mr. Chas. A. Comp, the holder, of Yardville, and Dr, G'. 
N. Thomas, evoked great interest, as was shown bv the large at- 
tendance. Unfortunately the extractor of the Doctor's gun broke 
in the sweeps, and was a source of annoyance thereafter in the 
match, which he contested in to a finish, though his opponent very 
chivalrously gave him the privilege of postponing it. Rather than 
disappoint the gathering, he contested. The victor, Mr. Comp, 
was challenged to defend his champisnship title, and the match 
was fixed for Aug. 14. 
Following are the scores made by Mr. Comp and Dr. Thomas 
to-day:

ON LONG ISLAND. 
New Utrecht Gun Club. 
Interstate Park, July 15. — The competition to-day was of more 
than passing interest, for there was one event which, as near as pos- 
sible, embodied the conditions which prevailed in the recent 
Anglo-American team race in England, the contestants being' six 
rnembers of the American team and a team of equal number from 
the New Utrecht Gun Club. This contest demonstrated' that 
hundreds of teams cotild be organized in America which would 
excel the English team in point of skill. At the end of the first 
25 the New Utrechts led by 4 targets, but they lost in the second 
25, and were then 5 behind. At the end of the 75th round they 
were 13 behind, and lost the race "finally by 20 targets, a very 
small margin. ■ 
The targets were thrown very fast, and a 5 o'cIocTc wind blew 
at times. The background of trees made some flights very difficult 
to see. The light was bright, and the weather, though intensely 
sultry, was pleasant. The scores follow:
