FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Nov. 18, 1911. 
Live Bird Shoot at Ryland, Kentucky. 
Twelve shooters took part in the third contest for the 
trophy of the Crystal Lake Gun Club. Weather con¬ 
ditions were good, and a majority of the birds were fast 
enough, to tax the skill of the contestants. The result 
was a tie on 24 between Schreck, Ahlers and Voige. The 
latter was not competing for the trophy, and Schreck 
and Ahlers faced the traps for the shoot-off at 5 birds. 
Another tie was the result, each killing straight. The 
second time up Schreck missed his first bird and then 
went straight, while Ahlers lost two birds out of the 
five. The series is likely to last some time, as no one 
has won more than one match. Rowe won the first, 
D. Pohlar the second, and Schreck the third. 
The club will hold an all day shoot on Thanksgiving 
day.

The Crystal 
Lake 
Gun Club held tlie 
fourth match 
in 
its trophy series on Nov. 11. The entrance was smaller 
than that of the other shooters of the series owing to 
the threatening weather. The sky was covered with 
heavy, low-hanging clouds, making a very poor light, 
and some rain fell during the afternoon. The wind was 
blowing half a gale, and made a very fair lot of birds 
into extremely hard ones, in a number of cases carrying 
birds which were killed , in the air over the boundary 
There were also some birds which needed no aid from 
the wind to get away, their swiftness on the wing prov¬ 
ing too much for the skill of the shooters. Every con¬ 
testant drew birds which it was no disgrace to lose under 
the conditions, and these made the perfect score of 
Walker from 32yds. all the more creditable. For a 
while, it looked like a close race between Rowe, the 
winner of the first match in the series, and Walker, as 
they were tied on the 16th bird. But the former’s 17th 
bird was a fast left-quarterer, and was carried over the 
boundary by the wind. His 22d bird was missed, and he 
finished second with 23. D. Pohlar kept in the race 
until the 10 th bird, which was cleanly killed, but blown 
over the line. This seemed to discourage Dan, and he 
dropped three more, one of which was dead out, finish¬ 
ing in third place with Koch on 21. Schreck, the winner 
of the third match, was on the 33yd. mark, and was not 
m form, missing 7 birds in the first 15, and then having 
the misfortune to lose two more dead out in the last 10 . 
Payne got in his first barrel with the quickness which 
gained him his nickname of “Little Dead Shot,” but not 
with his usual accuracy. The series promises tO' be long 
drawn out, as no one has yet succeeded in recording 
more than one win, the extra yard which the winner 
gets in the next shoot seeming to be too much of a 
handicap. The next shoot of the club will be held on 
Thanksgiving Day, and a large attendance is expected

Crescent Athletic Club. 
Bay Ridge, N. Y., Nov. 7. —Day one of the winter 
trap season, blew in on a southwester here to-day. It 
was no ill wind, as it brought out twenty-five shooters 
and made every one of them take pains in their shoot¬ 
ing in order to out-think old Boreas. 
The big. event was. the 100-target-take-home-trophy 
match. \\ ith very creditable shooting, C. A. Lockwood 
made 91 out of 100 and took the trophy. TI. S. Welles, 
a visitor, was second with 90, while C. Blake got 87, and 
third honors. 7 he Holiday cup brought out genuine 
competition at 50 targets. F. S. Hyatt made a perfect 
score, handling some exceedingly difficult shots cap¬ 
itally. Fairchild and Welles tied for place with 46. 
The Stake trophy has one less leg to stand on, as this 
missing member becomes the property of George Brower 
who', although credited with a handicap of four broke 
straight his 25 targets. 
The particular gratification of the committee was the 
appearance of a bunch of new shooters, thus predicting 
a healthy and active season.

100, J. F. James captured the “take-home” trophy to¬ 
day in the Crescent Athletic Club’s first weekly shoot 
of the regular season on their grounds at Bay Ridge.

this and other high 
scores 
were made. The summaries

The Du Pont Gun Club. 
The merry round of roodles goes on in the Delaware 
trapshooting championship, and the deal never gets 
back to the man with the buck. Lawrence D. Willis 
kept the cup long enough to make a little circle on 
his mantelpiece, which made Joseph B. McHugh en¬ 
vious, so on last Saturday he squirted a little Three-in- 
one or Nyoil into his old trusty and trolley-cared after 
Willis, and he got him, too. Only 2 birds—90 to 92, to be 
sure, but enough to keep up the excitement. Eugene E. du 
Pont, like the little boy reaching for the soap from the 
bath tub, “won’t be happy till he gets it,” so he has 
made application in due and ancient form, for a shot 
at the most hunted game in Delaware—the championship 
cup. We can’t say just when this bang-up event will 
take place, but it is pretty safe to say that the cup will 
be flushed in time for a report in our next issue. It 
isn’t fair to prejudice the jury in advance of their ver¬ 
dict, but “it do seem powerful like” the flag of cham¬ 
pion would unfurl itself in the winds over the house of 
Du Pont. The McITugh-Willis score, by rounds, was: 
McHugh . 24 23 23 22 92 
Willis . 20 23 25 22 90 
Fifty-two marksmen were before the traps. Charles 
H. Newcomb, one of the best amateur shots in the 
country, was a visitor. He broke 94 out of 100. W. S. 
Colfax, Jr., of this city, was high gun of the day with 
96 out of 100 and 22 in 12 pair doubles. Stanley Tuch- 
ton broke 48 out of 50. J. F. Slear and J. F. Pratt, 
both of Philadelphia, also shot well. The attendance 
was unusually large, a number of women being present. 
In a team race, J. W. Anderson, Jr., and I. Turner 
defeated W. J. Highfield and T. W. Mathewson, 41 to 
32. The individual scores in this match were: Anderson 
19, Turner 22, Highfield 15, Mathewson 17. 
The winners in the Coleman du Pont merchandise 
event were: Class A, 24 out of 25, C. H. Newcomb; 
Class B 24 out of 25, H. P. Carlon; Class C, 21 out of 
25, J. W. Alexander, Jr., tied L. C. Lyon; Class D, 
17 out of 25, Dr. Bullock.

Owing to the invitation shoot at the Wilmington Gun 
Club the attendance at the regular weekly shoot of the 
Du Ponts on Nov. 11 was unusually small. The weather 
conditions were ideal. The feature was the run of Ed¬ 
ward Banks, who broke 94 out of 100 targets. H. P- 
Carlon led in Class B of the Coleman du Pont mer¬ 
chandise shoot; Z. H. Lofland led in Class C; Dr. Bul¬ 
lock and E. H. Ford tied in Class D. The scores follow:
