Col. A. G. Courtney, whose home is 202 Leavenworth avenue, 
Syracuse, N. Y., has severed his business connecction with the 
Remington Arms Company, which company he has_ ably repre- 
sented during several years past. While the Colonel is famous as 
a man of nimble wit, "and a good performer with the scatter gun 
at the traps, he is also famous as an earnest and successful worker. 
He has a large acquaintance with the trade from ocean to ocean, 
and both with the trade and his brother shooters he is one of the 
most popular of the useful body of men who devote their talents 
to the commercial interests of the manufacturers. 
The Tunkhannock Rod and Gun Club, of Tunkhannock, _ Pa., 
announces a Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 28) target shoot, with a 
few live-bird events added. Bluerocks, 1 cent. A rnagautrap will

The daily press recounts the death of Henry Trenchard Chanfrau, 
the actor, but best known to trapshooters as the manager of Elk- 
wood Park during the period when that place was famous in the 
annals of the trapshooting world. Mr, Chanfrau died at the home 
of his father-in-law, at Long Branch, N. J., on Saturday of last 
week. His death was due to consumption. In the plays of his 
father, the "Arkansaw Traveler" and the "Octoroon," he took 
leading parts after his father's death, and for two seasons he sup- 
ported Mrs, James Brown Potter in her plays. 
We have been informed that ex-Sheriff Frank D. Creamer, of 
Brooklyn, well known among the trapshooters as one of the most 
popular and skillful of their number, met with a serious accident 
one day the latter part of last week. While out driving, whether 
fropi a runaway and j. collision or a runaway we did not Icam 
which, Mr. Creamer was thrown and his shoulaer was severely in- 
jured. While the injury is severe, we are glad to know that it is 
on;y temporarily serious. Time and Mr. Creamer's magnificent 
physique will no doubt pull him through all right.

Capt. J. A. H. Dressel, of the Union :MetalHc Cartridge Com- 
" pany, was^ recently the recipient of a beautiful jewel, a present 
Ironi Altair Lodge, of which Capt. Dressel is a member, and 
which was presented in commemoration of his advancement to the 
Thirty-third degree, an honor conferred on very few. It is a 
heavy, beautiful woik of the jeweler's art, in gold and enamel, 
emblems of the order forming the main features of the design, all 
worked in symmetrical harmony. 
Dr. A, A. Webber, who has five wins on the Dewar trophy, in- 
forms us that he has entirely given up shooting at the traps, and is 
willing to waive all claims on said trophy if it is put in open com- 
petition and the contests for it started anew. Otherwise he will 
hold to his wins, The conditions have been so vaguely enforced, 
he says, that it is difficult to determine the real status of the 
matter. Dr. Webber starts for Pennsylvania early next week for 
an outing in the mountains. 
The following, taken from the Philadelphia Public Ledger, re- 
counts a soul-stirring test of endurance and nerve: "'Adam 
Maley and Harry Showers shot a live-pigeon match at 9 birds 
each for a purse of $50, at Pottsville, yesterday. The match was 
won by Maley, who grassed 3 to his opponent's 2 birds. After the 
match William Roscop, a crack shot, killed a veteran bird of 
many matches, winning a side stake which was put up." 
Mr. F. G. Hogen, of Cleveland, O., writes us that the Ohio 
Trapshooters' League claims June 3, 4 and, 5, 1902, as dates for the 
league's tournament, to be held in Cleveland, O., under the 
auspices of the Cleveland Gun Club Company; and that every 
possible effort will be made by the Cleveland Gun Club Company 
to make the 1902 meet the most successful in the history of the 
league. Mr. Hogen is the league president. 
In the 25-live-bird race at Peru, Ind., on Nov. 7, Mr. W. R. 
Crosby, from the 32yd. mark, killed straight, Messrs. Head and 
Wiggins being ne.xt with 24 each with a bird dead out. Mr. 
Crosby's was the first straight score in a 25-bird race ever made 
on those grounds. On the first day, in the 5, 7, 10 and 7 burd 
events, Crosby and Gilbert, from the 32yd. mark, killed straight. 
In Forest and Stream of last week was published the sub- 
stance of a communication from Mr. W. L. Rhodes, of South 
River, N. J., concerning a 100-Iive-bird match for $100 a side be- 
tween Messrs. S. M. Van Allen and J. E. Applegate. Mr. Van 
Allen informs us that Mr. Rhodes' statement as aforementioned 
was wholly unauthorized, as no such match was made. 
In the contest for the November cup, at the shoot of the 
Crescent Athletic Club, Bay Ridge, L. L, on Saturday of last 
week, Capt. A. W. Money, Dr. H. L. O'Brien and Mr. H. B. 
Vandeveer scored 50, the limit. The two-man team shoot for the 
Sykes trophy was won by Messrs. J. N. Borland and C. G. Rasmus, 
with a score of 92. 
Mr. Frank Harrison, of Newark, N. J., the popular traveling 
representative of the Troisdorf Powder Company, contemplates a 
trip to Florida^ leaving for that land of game abundance on the 
30th inst. While in the far West this fall he enjoyed some duck 
and prairie chicken shooting, with results satisfactorily successful." 
The Philadelphia Times states that "a match at 25 live birds, for 
$300 a side, Hurlingham rules, will be shot on Nov. 20, at Black's 
Island, between Daniel N. Black and Harry Williams. These two 
crack shots have met once before, when Black won by a close 
margin, and Williams, not being satisfied, arranged this contest." 
The many friends of Mr. C. M. Lincoln will grieve to learn that 
he is afflicted with typhoid fever, in Atlanta, Ga., in which city 
he made his headquarters as a representative of the U. M. C. Co. 
While the affliction is a most grievous one, there is consolation 
in the report that he is not considered as being in serious danger. 
The team contest to be held at Interstate Park on Dec. 11 is as- 
suming important proportions, for there is a probability that there 
may be twenty or more men on a side. The managers are ear- 
nestly endeavoring to bring out their best men. The contest is 
likely to be very evenly contested. 
Mr. John S. Lewis, secretary, informs us that the Chelsea
