The Brooklyn Gun Club will hold a prize shoot on Saturday of 
this week on its grounds, at Enfield street and Liberty avenue, 
Brooklyn. There are six events on the programme, of which two 
are prize events at 25 targets, 51 entrance. The others are:^ One 
event at 10 targets, 50 cents entrance ; one event at 5 pairs, 50 
cents entrance; two events at 15 targets, 75 cents entrance. Tar- 
gets included in entrances. Contestants may shoot for targets only 
in all events, except the handicap events. J. S. Wright is the 
manager. 
In the team match, twelve men on a side, between the S. S. 
White Gun Club and the Highland (Pa.) Gun Club last week the 
former club won by a score of 252 to 248. The conditions were 25 
targets per man, 16yds. rise, unknown angles. The Highland Club 
conceded a handicap of 33 targets allowance. This was the second 
coiffest of three, but as the White Gun Club had also won the 
first, thus making two straight wins, that club wins the trophy. 
The popular expert with the shotgun, Mr. Chris Gottlieb, of 
Kansas City, Mo., writes us, under date of Nov. 30, as follows: 
"Kansas City will give a midwinter shoot in connection with the 
Elliott-Heikes 100-bird match, for the Sportsman Review cup, 
Dec. 18, and the Omaha-Kansas City, ten-man team shoot, Dec. 21. 
Dec. 19 and 20 will be open, at live birds and targets. Pro- 
grammes to follow." 
In the contest for the championship of New Jersey, at targets, 
of which the E. C. cup is the emblem, on the grounds of the 
South Side Gun Club, Newark, N. J., on Wednesday of last week, 
Mr. Geo. H. Piercy, the challenger, defeated Dr. W . L. Gardiner 
by scoring 37 to 36 out of 50. The weather was windy and un- 
favorable for good scores.

Haverhill Gon Clob Programme. 
Haverhill, Mass., Dec. 1.— I append the programme of our 
proposed Christmas shoot. Our dub extends a cordial invitation 
U-- all lovers of the sport, and would like very much to see the 
"team contest turn out a great, big friendly scrap." 
The distance handicap ought to make lots of company for the 
16yd. shooters, and the "break 'em all" man feel lonesome at 
23yds. We can throw as many birds as any set of expert traps 
in the land, so the boys will get all the shooting they want. We 
will spare no pains to make it a pleasant day for our out-of-town 
friends. 
The programme is as follows: 
Event 1, 15 targets, unknown, entrance $1. 
Event 2, 20 targets, regular, entrance $1.50. 
Event 3, 15 targets, unknown, entrance $1. 
iEvent 4, 20 targets, regular, entrance $1.50. 
Event 5, 20 targets, unknown, entrance $1.50. 
Event 6, 10 targets, reversed, entrance 75 cents.

Event 8, 20 targets, unknown, entrance $1.50. 
Event 9, 10 targets, reversed, entrance 75 cents. 
Event 10, 25 targets, regular, entrance $1.50. 
Events 4, 5 and 6 are the team contests. Events 7, 8 and 9 are 
the individtial handicaps. , . _

Trap Aro«nd Readingf. 
Reading, Pa., Nov. 28.— The South End Gun Club's target shoot 
to-day was a success and was well attended. The high wind played 
havoc with the flights of the targets, making them very irregular 
and very hard to hit. The club's medal shoot was the principal 
event, each man shooting at 25 targets. Besides this event, there 
were eight sweepstake events, the scores of which follow: 
Medal shoot, 25 targets, for Class A, B and C shooters: 
Class A: Gicker 20, Gerhard 20, Walters 18, Eshelman 17, Ball 16,

WESTERN TRAPS. 
Big Live-Bird Sweep is Abandooed. 
The following communication from Mr. C. R. Stephens, of 
Moline, 111., vice-president of the Illinois State Sportsmen's Asso- 
ciation, announces the abandonment of the proposed big live-bird 
sweep, which was to have been held at Watson's Park, Chicago, 
during the month of December. Mr. Stephens expresses con- 
siderable chagrin, but asks that the news be made public m order 
that there may not be any misunderstanding in regard to the mat- 
ter. He writes as below: 
"The big shoot is off. I was unable to line up the agreed 
minimum number of entries, fifty, by Saturday, Nov. 23, which 
was the tim.e limit set by John Watson, who was to pull off the 
game on his grounds. Was only able to get forty-six forfeits. 
Had innumerable promises, but couldn't cash them— the 'hot air 
banks' were not running. 
"Thank you kindly for your effort to assist me in the game, and 
apologize for consuming your time for naught. 
' As I write this I have fifty-one forfeits lying in front of me; 
five of them arrived this morning. Just thirty-six hours too late to 
be of any value in promoting the game. It seems really too bad 
to lose out on so close a margin. 
"Maybe I will succeed better next time, for I surely will try 
again some day. I hope to be able to interest you then also. 
"Thanking you again for your participation, I beg to remain 
sincerely (if sorrowfully) vours, 
"C. R. Stephens." 
Intercity of Minnesota. 
The past week at the Intercity Shooting Park between Minne- 
apolis and St. Paul was rather quiet, many of the shooters being 
absent in the field after quaiL On Tnanksgiving Day there will be 
a target shoot at 15 targets for turkey prizes, by the members of 
the Oak Grove Gun Club. 
The St. Paul Review cup was shot for Nov. 24, and brought out 
the largest entry of the season. The following are the scores:

Garfield Gun Club. 
Chicago, Nov. 28. — The appended scores were made to-day on the 
occasion of our annual Thanksgiving pigeon (turkey) shoot. All 
events were 5 birds, and high guns drew for the turkey in each 
case. The day was a fine one for pigeon shooting. A rather stiff 
southwest breeze blew directly across the traps and made the 
birds red hot all day. 
The birds were the best lot I have seen trapped for a long time, 
only three sitters developing all day in almost 600 birds shot. Ten 
members of the club carried home each a fine turkey; and all 
went home satisfied, having had all the shooting they wanted, for 
once. The attendance was large and enthusiastic, and all went 
off pleasantly. Not a single particle of friction occurred to mar 
the pleasure of the occasion:

The tournament of the St. Louis Shooting Association, given 
anent the final shoot-off for the Republic cup trophy, continued 
over Sunday, the 23d, which is the leading day for general work at 
Dupont Park. 
The attendance was much better than on the two previous days, 
and all events at both targets and live birds were very well filled. 
It is regretable that there was not a much larger attendance 
throughout this meet, and doubtless there would have been more 
shooters had it been announced that the Republic trophy would 
be thrown open for all, but there was quite a delay in the receipt 
of replies from the five men interested, Charley Young being the 
last to respond, so that it could not have been advertised in ad- 
vance. 
The first event was a miss-and-out, in which Prendergast, Mer- 
mod and Spencer divided the purse. Event 2 was the same thing, 
and the honors were again divided by Prendergast, Riehl, Gilbert, 
Fanning and Burnside. 
The big event of the day was a 15-bird sweep, with fifteen entries, 
and, although the birds were a good, fast lot, with no sitters, seven 
of the contestants — Crosby, Rock, Fanning, Burnside, Riehl, Gil- 
bert and Mermod — made clean scores, there being three each in 
second and third places. The scores are appended:

The late afternoon was devoted to more short live-bird races and 
several target sweeps, in which Crosby gathered most of the honor 
and shekels. 
Charlie Stevens came all the way from Moline, Friday, hoping 
at this meet to take enough additional entries to his big 100-bird 
Chicago sweep, and he did get a number of entries here, but, much 
to the general regret, he was still four short of his guarantee of 
fifty entries Saturday night, and therefore was compelled to give 
up his enterprising project. C. R. Stevens is the true gentleman 
sportsman; he made a most praiseworthy effort in this matter, and 
it is too bad that he was compelled, from lack of support, to give 
it up. 
Although it is yet very early in the game, it may be said with 
certainty that the Grand American Handicap of 1902, to be held 
in Kansas City, will be in all respects a record occasion. Every 
little country burg in this big Mississippi basin is grooming from 
one to a dozen favorites who will enter the lists. This is the main 
topic wherever two or more shooters meet, and all predict the 
largest entry on record. 
As the quail season progresses some very fine bags are reported 
from various points, but it is generally found that the birds are 
very scarce on the flat prairies or broken ground. They appear to 
have migrated to the big river and creek bottoms, but here shoot- 
ing is excellent. 
State Game Commissioner Lovejoy, with his wardens and 
deputies, is doing excellent and most effective work in preventing 
illegal shooting and marketing of the birds. 
Capt. A. W. Money, of the E. C. & Schultze Powder Company, 
IS here spending a week with his son, Harold, of the Western 
Cartridge Company.
