IN NEW JERSEY. 
Trap at Gattenberg. 
Cuttenberg, K J.. Jan. 13— the shoot for a Knockabout gun, 
managed by Mr. Gus Greiff, struck a popular and responsive chord in 
public appreciation. There were sixty-eight contestants. This contest 
appealed to all the shooters within a radius of about fifty miles 
of New York. New York and Connecticut were well repre- 
sefited, and as a matter of course, New Jersey was represented 
strongly. The conditions w©re made very generously. The gun 
was donated by Mr. J. P. Sauer. The entrance was only the 
price of birds. The handicaps were easy tor the amateurs and 
hard for the professionals, the latter having the back mark of 
33yds. Only one professional, Mr. Sim Glover, participated. 
The conditions were 15 live birds, $3.75 entrance; handicaps 
25 to 33yds. A bird allowance was given as follows: 25yds., 2 
misses as kills; 26yds, 1 miss as a no-bird, one miss as a kill; 
27yds., 1 miss as a kill; 28yds., 1 miss as a no-bird. The handi- 
caps were liberal. Many of the shooters had not had much ex- 
perience in live-bird trapshooting, and a number claimed that 
tliey never had any at all. 
The weaiher conditions were as unfavorable and uncomfortable 
as could well be imagined. A cold, steady rain fell all day. It 
was light in the mcrn'ng, but steadily increased till early in the 
Afternoon it was a steady downpour. The sky was heavily and 
darkly overcast, and there was a consequent dull, bad light. The 
gn)unds were covered vviih slushy snow. Consequent to these 
conditions, the birds took wing reluctantly. There was a very 
large percentage of sitters. The birds were a mixed lot, good 
anil poor. 
The shooting for the day ended at the eleventh round, ex- 
cepting three, Mowry, Kisner and VVesterfield, who shot at their 
twelfth bird. The remainder of the event was postponed to the 
following day, which was clear, cold and windy.

The Peters Re-Uafo-'. 
Cincinnati.— The traveling representatives of the Peters Car- 
tridge Co. gathered in Cincinnati last week from all points of the 
compass, to attend the annual reunion and have a good time. 
Friday, Jan. 15, was spent at the grounds of the Cincinnati Gun 
Club, where they were entertained at dinner by the company, and 
had all the sport they wanted at the traps. 
A feature of the day was the exhibition of fancy shooting given 
in the afternoon by Capt. Bartlett and Messrs. Carter, of Mon- 
tana; Leach, of Nebraska, who holds the record of 1601 targets 
broken with a .22 rifle; Hardy, of Arizona, and Wallace Miller, of 
Austin, Tex., all representatives of the company. This exhibition 
was witnessed by a large crowd. Capt.' Bartlett took the lead 
and performed many wonderful feats with .22 and .30-30 rifles, 
breaking pieces of brick, walnuts and other objects thrown in the 
air. Sighting in a mirror, standing back to the mark; holding 
rifle upside down, and at arms' length over his head, using a 
mirror for sighting, etc. Capt. Hardy, who is especially expert 
with the revolver, broke 51 out of 58 targets thrown in the air, 
and allowed that if this was not a record he would make one. 
He also dreW letters and figures on cards held by Mr. Carter, 
using the bullets from a .22 rifle as his pencil. His hardest feat 
was when he held the butt of the rifle on his breast, standing with 
back to the mark, walnuts placed on a box, then leaning over 
until his head touched the ground, he fired and broke them, the 
rifle being upside down. 
Wallace Miller is an expert in the use of a shotgun. He placed 
gun on his right foot, threw two targets in the air, tossed up his 
gun with his foot, caught it and smashed both targets. He then 
held a target in each hand, grasping his gun also, tossed gun in 
the air, threw up the targets, caught the gun, and made dust of 
the targets. 
Messrs. Carter and Leach performed similar feats to the others, 
breaking walnuts, balls, and hitting small iron washers' thrown in 
the air, using a .22 rifle. It was unquestionably a fine exhibition 
of skill, and was warmly applauded. 
Shooting at the traps was continuous all day, the principal 
events being a match between teams of representatives from the 
North, East, South and West, and two teams known as the "Has 
Beens" and "Would Be's." There was also an exciting match be- 
tween Charlie Grubb, of Pittsburg, and Geo. Benjamin, of New 
York, which was won by the former with the phenomenal score 
of 2 to 0. 
Maurice Kaufman staid in Cincinnati long enough to see the 
sun sh'ne, and said he could go home to New Orleans happy after 
that strange event. 
Del Gross was squad hustler, and kept the boys on the move. 
The trap boys registered a kick, as they got no rest between 
squads. 
As is usually the case, genial Tom Keller was the life of the 
crowd, and kept every one in goad humor. The scores follow:

Cincinnati Gun Club. 
The following scores were made in the Parker prize gun contest 
of Jan. 9 by members who were unable to be present that day 
on account of the weather: Pohlar (35) 66, 100; Pfeiffer (40) 62, 
100; Gambell (10) 91, 1(0; H. Sunderbruch (40) 55, 95; Dick (22) 
73, 95; Davies (23) 70, 93; Grau (12) 86, 98. 
Jan. 16 was the first day for many weeks that the weather has 
allowed of comfortable shooting. The day was clear and warm, 
with a fairly strong wind, affecting the targets a little, and 
twenty-eight members took part in the last shoot of the cash prize 
series. R. Trimble was high gun with 44, Medico second with 
43, a little nearer to the gait he was shooting a while back; 
Gambell third with 39. 
Among those present was Jack, who has been a stranger to the 
grounds for many weeks. Captain also took a hand in the game 
once more. Ackley was on hand, and we hope, as the weather 
gets warmer and pleasant, that he will be one of the regulars again. 
Phil leaves the city on Jan. 18, and the match with Mechan'cs- 
burg for the Phellis trophy is indefinitely postponed on that 
account. This leaves the field open to other clubs. Where is 
Dayton, Troy. Springfield? One of them should take the cup. 
There was not much practice shooting done to-day, as it took 
nearly all the time until dark to finish the main event. The 
scores, distance handicap, follow: Bullerd'ck (16) 29. Ackley (16) 
23, Perin (16) 32, Hake (16) 20, Jack (15) 33. Medico (19) 43, 
Block (18) 27, Williams (17) 32, Ahlers (18) 32, Barker (18) 37,

SIDE LIGHTS OF TRADE. 
Jan. 14, at Taylor, Capt. Clif F. Gilstrap, of the Taylor Gun 
Club, scored, in open competition, 95 bluerocks and 10 live birds, 
quitting without a miss. He shot "Infallible." 
At the Linden, Iowa, tournament, Jan. 6, high average was won 
by F. Campbell. Jan. 8, at the Baltimore tournament, J. M. 
Hawkins won high professional average, and Mr. L. S. German 
amateur average. The annual live^bird cup competition was won 
by L. H. Shaab. Each shot Winchester factory loaded shells. 
Messrs. Hawkins and Shaab used Winchester repeating shotgutis. 
Penn Forest Brook Trout Co., Mauch Chunk, Pa., a firm which 
makes a specialty of brook trout for table and stocking purposes, 
hi.* issued a beautiful calendar for 1904. It is in the form of a 
matted picture ready for framing. The picture, in colors, is a 
reproduction of a painting by Albert Lache, and is entitled "Gee! 
A Whopper." It portrays an angler in an ideal trout stream, with 
bent rod and taut line, holding a trout steadily with his right hand, 
while with his lett, he is gently using his landing net in the act of 
capturing; and on the angler's face is that ben'gn expression 
which denotes that success is assured, and that the day is pleasant. 
It will be sent free to applicants.

exception of one Double Drawing and Stateroom Sleeping Car, 
which is operated to Aiken and Augusta, Ga. the train is com-

Other Handsome Trains. — Two other first-class through trains, 
with elegantly appointed Pullman Sleeping Cars and up-to-date 
Dining Cars, speed between New York, Washington and Florida, 
making travel on the Southern Railway a p easure and delight. 
Thus it will be noted that three high-c'ass trains are operated 
between the East and Florida by the Southern Railway. 
Round-trip tourist tickets are on sale at reduced rates to all 
the pr.ncipal resorts of Florida and the South, which will allow 
stop-overs en route, thus enabling passengers to make side trips 
to other resorts, it desired. For further infcrmation ca l on or

CoDceraing the Proctor Playhouses. 
It is a noticeable fact that, during the investigations of the 
newly appointed Fire Commissioner, none of the theatres con- 
trolled by Mr. F. F. Proctor, (the Fifth Avenue, Twenty-third 
Street, Fifty-eighth Street or One Hundred and Twenty-fifth 
Street) have been mentioned by him as requiring any additional 
precautions. Ihe "Proctor Plan" appeals particularly to matinee 
audiences of women and children, and this has made Mr. I'roctor 
additionally cautious in providing for any emergency. 
It is creditable that, although Mr. F. F. Proctor has, at 
various times, owned more theatres than any other manager in 
America, he has never, during the course of his career, suffered 
serious loss from a fire. 1 his is not due so much to luck on Mr. 
Proctor's part, as to his appreciation of the possibility of con- 
flagration, and his extreme care in providing for such emergency. 
Mr. Proctor was one of the first managers to introduce the fire 
drill, and the equipment of the auditorium and stage with an 
ample supply of fire hose, and his system of late years has been 
developed and amplified until the Proctor houses stand to-day the 
safest theatres in the country.

Baltimore, and Washington, $48; Pittsburg, $53, and at proportion- 
ate rates from other points. 
For tickets, itineraries, and other information, apply to ticket 
agents, or to Geo. W. Boyd, General Passenger Agent, Broad

Postal Checks. 
The rapid extension of the rural free-delivery service increases 
the demand that the Government shall provide some easy, con- 
venient, aijd safe ip^ethod for the transmission of small sums of 
money through the mails, and I urge upon Congress the import- 
ance of passing some law which will insure to our people this 
advantage at an early a date as possible. 
As the rural free-delivery serxice has been extended the number 
of letters carrying small amounts of currency has greatly increased. 
At present there is no convenient method provided in the rural 
districts for making such remittances through the mails except 
in currency or postage stamps, and such currency and stamp 
aititoices are a constant tempta,tion to those liandling them. —
