AND STREAM? 
tjlASt. ii, 1902. 
At a special meeting of the gun and sporting goods trade, 
held Jan. 10, the following minute was adopted: 
In obedience to the Omnipotent Decree, in a moment as in the 
"twinkling of an eye," Marcellus Hartley has been called from us. 
His name has been associated with all our business undertakings. 
For many years he has stood forth clearly as the leading figure in 
the trade — to which nearly all his life was devoted, and from which 
the many varied enterprises that sought his counsel in later years 
were not able to weaken his allegiance. 
His indomitable will, ceaseless energy and untiring perseverance 
make a standard to which few can attain. 
His integrity of character, faithfulness of purpose, largeness of 
view and keenness of discernment made him more and more 
sought as a leader and advisor. 
Until the last moment of life he was a man of affairs. 
In recognition of his worth, we desire to record this tribute of 
honor, regard and esteem.

ON LONG ISLAND, 
New Utrecht Gun Club. 
Interstate Park, L. I., Jan. 11. — The weather was raw, dark from 
a heavily overcast sky, and mildly stormy, a light snowfall setting 
in betimes. A 10 o'clock wind prevailed. Good shooting was the 
rule, and as a consequence there were many ties. Ties in No. 1 
were shot off in No. 2, and ties in the latter were shot off in 
No. 3. Mr, R. W. Haff won in No. 1; F. D. Creamer won No. 2.

[Forester Gun Club. 
Forester Gun Club's New Year's Day shoot was another big suc- 
cess, although the day was bitfer cold and a good sharp wind 
was blowing. The live birds were a good, strong lot of fliers, and 
a goodly number got safely away. The manager kept a good 
warm club house, and served the shooters with a good, hot lunch 
at noon, followed with target shooting, and threw 1,600 targets 
during the afternoon. To prove the way this small club is 
growing in success, eight new members joined on this day, 
which we consider a record. 
Event No. 3 was a free event, with four prizes. The winners, 
after qualifying three times, shooting a miss-and-out. Winners: 
J. J. Fleming, turkey; Felger, chicken; Earns, can powder; D. 
Fleming, case shells.

Newton Gun Club. 
Newton, N. J., Jan. 13.— The Newton Gun Club held a live-bird 
shoot last Saturday, on their grounds, and the feature of the day 
was a match between the Newton and Dover gun clubs. 
A cold wind was blowing. Two hundred people were present. 
The conditions were ten men on a side, at 10 birds each, loser to 
pay for birds and supper, 28yds. rise and unknown traps. 
The birds being a fair lot, both sides started in confident of 
victory. But, alas! luck was against the Newton boys. They hit 
their birds, but were unable to stop them, while the Dover boys 
came up loaded for bear, and when a bird was hit it stopped like 
the old grandfather's clock— never to go again. At the ending of 
the eighth round, Newton being unable to overtake their op- 
ponents, withdrew from the match with these words on their lips, 
"We will show them next time!" The rest of the afternoon was 
spent shooting sweepstake, miss-and-out. 
The Newton boys net losing courage, are willing and anxious 
to shoot a similar match with the gentlemen of Newton who stood 
and looked on, and who killed so many birds at a game supper 
the other night, who claimed they could pick ten men who could 
beat them. "Pick them out, you; we will try it."

Hazard Live Bird Championship, ,' L ' 
Chicago, 111., Jan. 11. — I am pleased to hand you herewith 
copy of a challenge to contest for possession of the Hazard Pow- 
der Company's live-bird championship trophy, which reaches me 
thi s morning from Russel Klein, Spirit Lake, la., and is in turn 
transmitted to you and to the Hazard Powder Company. 
Mr. Klein, it will be remembered, is of the amateur class of 
sportsmen, a brother-in-law of Mr. Fred Gilbert, and, for one of 
so slight a build, a very good shot. 
As the days for practice at the traps approach, preparatory to the 
one grand shooting event of the United States, interest in shooting 
matters seems to awaken as if subjected to the beneficent influence 
of a warm south wind. 
Unless all signs fail— and this is the wrong season of the year 
for such failures— there will be battles and rumors of battles of 
especial interest to the sporting public very shortly. 
E. S. Rice. 
Spirit Lake, la., Jan. 10.— Desiring a contest with Mr. C. W. 
Budd, Des Moines, la., for possession of the Hazard Powder 
Company's live-bird championship trophy, I have this day de- 
posited requisite forfeit, and given notice to donors of cup.

Trap Around Reading. 
Reading, Pa., Jan. 4. — The Spring Valley Shooting Association, 
of this city, held a target shoot to-day oh their grounds, near 
this city. Sweepstake events at 10, 15 and 20 targets composed the 
programme for the day. The day was not a good one for shooting, 
as the cold greatly hindered the shooters, and as a high wind made 
the targets very irregular, the scores made were below the average 
The principal event, 20 targets, for a fine Holstein bull as first 
prize, attracted forty-three entries, and was finally won by Lee 
Wertz, captain of the Spring Valley Club; who broke 19 out of 20. 
Three tied on 18 for second prize, a fine revolver. The shoot was a 
success. 
Shamokin, Pa., June 7. — The following officers wera elected at the
