Baltimore vs. Wawaset. 
Wilmington, Del., Jan. 29.— In its return match with the Balti- 
more Shooting Association in Baltimore, Md., yesterday, the 
Wawaset Gun Club, of this city, lost the shoot by 55 points, 
the score being 829 to 774. This majority is smaller than in the 
other shoot, when Baltimore team was defeated by the Wawaset 
by 80 points. 
The delegation of local shots accompanying the Wawaset team 
was disappointed at the result, for the scores made by the local 
shots were not as good as were expected, and did not even come 
up to those made in the practice shoot. The shoot was pulled 
off under unfavorable conditions, for it was both dark and cold 
when the shoot began, and snow began to fall before it was at 
an end. 
Beyond saying that the disagreeable weather conditions were 
responsible for no better scores, the Wawaset shots have no 
excuse to make for their defeat, but a number of local sportsmen 
think it was hardly fair that L. S. German, H. L. Worthington and 
George Burroughs were permitted to shoot for Baltimore. Ger- 
man is a resident of Aberdeen, Md., and Worthington is of Rising 
Sun, while Bvirroughs' home is in this city. The Wawaset 
team agreed to allow any member of the Baltimore Shooting Asso- 
ciation to participate, however, the matter of residence not to be 
considered. Baltimore took advantage of this, and it is held by 
those who are objecting that the Wawaset Club might have al- 
lowed Fred Gilbert and others to shoot on that team. Burroughs 
shot twice for the Delaware State championship, being defeated 
by M. Roser in the last shoot. Another argument offered by a 
few who were opposed to him shooting for Baltimore is the fact 
that at the annual Maryland county shoot he was barred from 
participating on the ground that he was not a resident of Balti- 
more. 
Baltimore intended to have E. B. Coe, formerly of that city, 
but later of Mississippi and Tennessee, present to shoot on that 
team, but he could not attend. 
There were ten men on each team, and 100 targets were shot at. 
Hawkins, of Baltimore, was high gun with a score of 93 out of 
a possible 100. McKelvey was high gun for the Wawaset, getting 
84 out of a possible 100. The shoot was well attended, a large 
number of Maryland shots being present. 
The local shots were met in Baltimore by J. M. Hawkins afld 
escorted to the grounds of the B. S. A., where it was found that 
the Baltimore team had been practicing all the morning for the 
event. Following the shoot the local team was entertained at 
dinner by the Baltimore sports. Several speeches were made. 
The scores follow:

ON LONG ISLAND. 
Cfescent Athletic Club. 
There was a large attendance at the Saturday afternoon shoot 
of the Crescent Athletic Club at Bay Ridge, Jan. 30. D. C. 
Bennett won the January cup on a score of 25 with a handicap of 
4, and his three best scores for the month totalled 73 out of a 
possible 75. The runner-up was Grant Notman, with 24 for the 
day. He was second for the month also, with a total of 70. A. G. 
Southworth was third for the day with 22 and third for the month 
with 69.

Notman with a clean score, and winning on the shoot-off with 
a full score to Notman's 2 less. ■ Charles A. Sykes won a 15-target 
event for a trophy from a field of eighteen contestants with a 
clean score of 15, four men tying for second; they were T. W.

veer, with 14 each. 
The Sykes team cup race was won for the day by H. B. Van- 
derveer and E. H .Lott, after tying with Capt. A. W. Money

divisions. The first division was won by F. B. Stephenson with 
a score of 23, and the second by A. G. Southworth with a score of 
24. A trophy shoot at 15 targets was captured by Frederick T. 
Bedford, Jr., with a straight score; the runner-up was George G. 
Stephenson with 14. A renewal of the same event found A. G. 
Southworth and the veteran W. W. Marshall tied with 15, and on 
the shoot-off Marshal! broke 12 to Southworth's 7. 
Frederick T. Bedford, Jr., won in another 15-target event with 
a straight score of 15, four men tying for second— F. B. Stephen-

Cincinnati Gun Clab. 
The attendance at the grounds on Jan. 30 was good. The day 
was mild and clear, with no wind; but the sun, shining on the 
snow, made the light rather trying. No "special events were on 
the card for to-day, and those present indulged in a race at 100 
■ targets. This, with the practice shooting, kept the traps busy until 
dark. 
There was some talk of the Columbia Gun Club, of Barberton, 
Ohio, challenging for the Phellis trophy, but a letter received 
this week stated that it would be impossible to send a team. 
No one seems anxious to accept the challenge to a team race 
at 1,000 targets issued by Gambell and Barker. 
Ahlers and Gambell will try conclusions in a match next week. 
The club holds its meeting on Friday, Feb. 5, in the afternoon; 
Parker prize gun contest on Feb. 2. 
Following are the .scores made in to-day's events:

MiddletowQ (Del.) Shooting Association. 
The Middletown, Del., Shooting Association held an exciting 
shoot yesterday afternoon on its grounds, and some good scores 
were made. Perhaps the most interesting event was the Parker

Miserable weather conditions and awful poor street car service, 
on account of high water damaging bridges, caused small attend- 
ance. 
The handicap system now in use not proving satisfactory, will 
be revised for next Saturday's contest. 
Coming events on our grounds will be the Erb-Michaelis con- 
test for English Hotel cup, Feb. 6; State tournament April 12, 13, 
and G. A. H., June 20 to 24. In connection with Erb-Michaelis 
contest sweepstake events will be arranged to suit the shooters, 
and those desiring to shoot for targets only may do so. Shooting 
will commence at 10 A. M. Jas. W. Bell, Sec'y. 
The Tower Trap at Pinehurst. 
PiNEHURST, N. C, Jan. 20. — The new tower trap was used for 
the first time in a tournament last week in the third in the win- 
ter's series. The event was 60 targets, 10 each, right, left, overhead, 
unknown and doubles, and it developed into a pretty contest, 
which kept the shooters guessing. 
C. A. Lockwood, of New York, won with a score of 35, to 31 
for H. Nelson Burroughs, of Philadelphia. 
In starting it looked very much as if Mr. Lockwood would 
have a walkover, but Burroughs pulled up splendidly on the 
second string, and gave his opponent a good match. The feature 
of the event was the breaking of three straight doubles by Lock- 
wood, a feat hitherto unequaled. The scores of the leaders were 
as follows: 
Lockwood 01101010110011111111 10 00 10 00 10—17

SIDE LIGHTS OF TRADE. 
The Lefever Arms Co., of Syracuse, N. Y., informs us that Mr. 
Lyon won high average at the shoot held Jan. 23, at Montreal, 
Canada. Mr. E. W. Arnold, of Lamed, Kans., won high amateur 
average at both live birds and targets at the shoot held Dec. 15 
at Great Bend, Kans. Mr. Arnold also tied for high amateur 
average at the January tournament held at St. Joseph, Mo. Both 
these gentlemen shot Lefever guns.

Exhibits of Game Fowl at Sportsmen's 
Show. 
A feature of this year's show at Madison 
Square Garden that will be at once attractive and 
striking is the exhibit of game fowl. In this de- 
partment of the show three of the most famous 
collectors of upland and water fowl will be rep- 
resented, and nearly every known species of game 
fowl will be embraced. The pheasants of Turkey, 
Asia and Africa, with their brilliant plumage, will 
make a striking exhibit. These will occupy space 
on the main floor, which will extend for eighty 
running feet along the north promenade. It is 
needless to say that these birds, representing 
years of labor and the investment of many thou- 
sands of dollars, will prove a big attraction of the 
show. It will embrace over twenty varieties of 
pheasants. There will also be shown the jungle 
fowl, the famous Madagascar pigeons, wild tur- 
keys and several varieties of peacock in brilliant 
plumage, among which will be some specimens 
of the white peacock. In Mr. Davenport's col- 
lection, there will also be shown Persian sheep, 
Persian lambs. Angora goats, clothed in their 
silken coats, which give these animals high com- 
mercial value the world over. 
In other divisions will be shown from sixteen 
to twenty varieties of wild duck, as well as geese, 
including the Canadian, snow and other species. 
Another exhibit will embrace a very large and 
rare collection of game water fowl and geese, in- 
cluding every known variety. Beginning with the 
second week of the show, will be substituted the 
wild duck exhibit, of which it i§ said that ao 
finer specimens are in existence. 
The game bird exhibit at the coming show will 
be one of its biggest features, and will far excel 
anything of the kind ever shown in this country.
