^igcbhs at Fine 
LittLe Rock, Atk. — The filst live-bird shoot that has been held 
since' last January in the State took place at Fitie Bluff, Oct. 11, 
. under the management of J. T. Lloyd. The programme provided 
for two sweeps, a 10 artd a IB-bird event, add iri addition there 
was also to be an individual contest at 26 jligeoris between J. T. 
Lloyd, challenger, Jnd Johh M. Pembelton, holder, fob the posses- 
sion of the J. T. Lloyd Co. ehallerige medal. This contest was 
shot about boon, attd proved to be a spirited orie, and it retiuiled 
an extra string of 5 birds to decide the winner. Pemberton got 
off badly, missirig his first, and at the end of the first 10 birds 
was 3 birds to the bad, as Lloyd was shootirig in splendid form, 
killing his first 12 birds straight. His 13th and 15th got away 
and also his 25th, which was as hard a bird as ever left the trap. 
In the meantime Pemberton had struck his stride and refused to 
miss any more, so that the match resulted in a tie with 22 for 
each contestant. The tie was immediately shot off at 5 birds, 
and here Lloyd lost out on his second bird, a towerer, that he hit 
too far back and it fell over the dead line. Thus Pembertori re- 
tains possession of the medal, and in addition to this, he also 
holds the Peters Cartridge Co. trophy, emblematic of the live- 
bird championship of the State, and at one time he also held the 
individual flying target championship trophy, beirtg the ortly 
shooter who has ever achieved this distinction in the State. 
The pigeons were a splendid lot, and a strong wind aided them 
materially, so that it took quick and accurate work to stop them 
within bounds. 
Seventeen shooters participated in the sweeps, and Paul R.- 
Litzke showed to the best advantage in these with a total of 21 
kills out of 26. C. D. Conrey finished second with 20, while Bqysen 
and Wells were third. 
The weather w'as ideal, and the sport was very much enjoyed 
by all wno participated. Mr. Leroy Bennett acted as referee, and 
W. P. Imon as trap-puller. Interstate rules governed. 
The next shoot will be held at Stuttgart within the next month 
or six weeks. At this there will probably be a trophy to shoot for. 
Ihe following are the scores made in the two sweeps on the 
programme, the first being at 10 and the second at 15 birds. Every 
one shot from the 30yd. mark.

Ossining Gtm Club. 
Ossining, N. Y. — The fall clay bird tournament of the Ossining 
Gun Club, held Oct. 18-19, was quite successful, though the at- 
tendance was not nearly as large as the management of the club- 
expected. On the 18th there were twentj^-four shooters, and on 
the 19th twenty-five faced the traps. 
First Day, Oct. J8. 
The day started with a fine, drizzling rain, which will give some 
of our friends, who were to come, a chance for an. excuse. The 
main -event to-day was a 25-bird handicyi, 14 to 20yds. H. H. 
Stevens, 19yds., A. Bedell, 18yds., and G. B. Hubbell, standing 
at the l8yd. mark, tied with 24 out of 25 and divided first, a $20 
gold piece given by Col. F. Brandreth. The second prize, a 
fine chafing dish, given by Supervisor R. T. Dennis, was won 
by Samuel R. MacDonald, of "yonkers, after a spirited shoot-off' 
with J. A. R. Elliott and Ray Hendricks, of Rye, N. Y. The 
scores on shoot-off were: MacDonald 24, Elliott 23, Hendricks 22. 
In the third class of ties five had negotiated 22. The prize, a 
stop-wa.tch, given by C. G. Blandford, was won on a third tie 
and shoot-off between D. Stever and H. Manchester, of Pascoag, 
R. 1., by the latter with strings of 23, 22, 23. Neaf Apgar proved 
too much for the three others, who tied him with 21, so he took 
Parker Bros.’ metal-lined cigar box home with him. 
There was to have been a big extra handicap for a diamond ring, 
which Dr. W. L. Gardner, of East Orange, N. J., had promised 
to bring up. Believing the Doctor to be a man of his word, we 
advertised the event in all the sporting papers, and the “bunch” 
had some long-range shells in pickle for that diamond ring, but 
the ring and Dr. Gardner never came, nor a line expla'nbig its 
non-appearance. The club offered to “make good” and buy a 
ring, but the shooters would not have it. J. A. R. Elliott was 
first high professional for the day, with Sim Glover second. Ray 
Hendricks, of Rye, was first high amateur and C. G. B'.andford 
second. 
Over 3,400 targets were thrown out of one Leggett trap between 
10:45 and 2:30, and every one had a chance to get dinner between 
times. All events to-day were sliding handicaps. Starting at 
16yds., the shooters handicapped themselves by the number they 
broke in each 20-bird event. In the scores it can be ascertained 
where each shooter stood by examining his score in the preceding 
event. No. 8 does not count in general averages.

Second Day, Oct, J9. 
The weather conditions were all that could be wished for to- 
day, and a good, big turnout was confidently expected. Ossining 
members had visited several clubs which had promised a delega- 
tion, but on counting up at the end of the day, there were but 
twenty-five all told- 
J. B. Sanders, of Albany, was the only member of the Pough- 
keepsie Gun piqb show up. Wf do not know whether it 
was a case of “told feet” of labk of co-opefatioii oh thfe pift of 
the ffleinbers of the Poughkeepsie ClUb. At any rate the Pbngh- 
keepsie Club had two months’ notice, that if it failed this thifd 
tinie to bfing a team of eight that the Ossinidg team would shoot 
and claim thfe cup, which they did with the following seorfes: 
Kay HehdWcks 23, A. Bfedell 24; G. B. Htibbell 20, J. Hyland 20; 
W. Coleman l9, C. G. Blandford 23, Wni. Fisher 22, N. Tuttle 
18; total 189 out of 200; or 84.5 per cent. This was the deciding; 
match, as each club had two wins to its credit. This cup, of 
punch bowl rathef, is a haffdsome trophy; and was ^ivfen to thfe 
club for competition by the president; Col. Frariklin BraridretH. 
Events Nos. 3 to 7. inclusive comprised a 100-tafget match fof 
a fine cup, presented by Town Clerk Gaylord B. Hubbell. It 
represented the championship of 'Westchester . county, and wds 
won by Wm. H. ColemaU; of Ossinitig, who made the fitie sfcoffe 
of 96 out of 100. 
Sim Glover made a tun of 100 straight id this series arid D. 
Stever, who also was riot eligible, broke 98. Though the targets 
were not thrown over 45yds., this was remarkable shooting, 
VVe want to say right here that we are deeply grateful to the. 
trade for the fine support they gave. us. Harry Welles was with 
us on the first day, but J. A. R. Elliott, Gus Greiff, Hood Waters, 
H. H. Stevens, Neaf Apgar, Sim Glover and R. H. Niehol shot 
through both days, and were, as they always are, genial, courteous 
and always “on the job.” 
There was a lot of goodmatured bantering between them on 
the merits of their particular goods, but they are personally 
most friendly. Mr. George R. Ginrt rendered valuable assistance 
in the office, and gave the Usual vietihi a chance to shoot without 
niuch bother. Mr. Heath also helped us out, refereeing. Nine 
is a trade representation to be proud of. To-day all stood at 
16yds., Rose system. Glover was high professional toiday with 
160. Elliott was second with 168. Stever was high amateur with 
156. Manchester second, with 155.

PUBLISHERS' DEPARTMENT. 
Devotees to the sport of ice boating are now overhauling their 
old craft_ or are constructing new ones. There will appear in 
our yachting columns probably in our next issue a design for a 
lateen .rigged ice boat with- 140 sq. ft. of sail. This boat has been 
specially designed to meet the demands of those who want to 
build an easily handled, inexpensive boat. It is. important, both 
on account of comfort and safety that only the best material and 
fittings be put into ice boats. Messrs. Merriman Bros., of 162 
Commercial street, Boston, Mass., make a specialty of all 
fittings, etc., used on ice boats. Intending purchasers will do well 
to consult this firm before buying elsewhere. Mr. Percy Ashley, 
who is an expert on ice boats and who is designing the lateen 
rigged boat for Forest and S.^^^ream, considers Merriman products- 
Ihe best on the ntarket, ■ '
