Sec’v F. A. Trowbridge writes us that “The Morris 
Gun Club will hold an all-day bluerock shoot on their 
grounds, Water street, Morristown, N-. J.,' Thursday, 
Feb. 14, commencing at 10 A. M. We will forward pro¬ 
gramme latter.” 
Mr. Wm. Kussmaul writes us that “The North Cald¬ 
well Gun Club will hold a team shoot on Saturday after¬ 
noon, Feb. 9, on their grounds, between the North- 
sides, of Paterson. Also regular shoot on Lincoln’s 
Birthday in the afternoon.”

The January cup of the Crescent Athletic Club was 
won finally by Mr. J. H. Ernst, whose three best scores 
for it were in the aggregate the highest of the com¬ 
petition. He also won the beautiful stuffed owl pre¬ 
sented by Vice-President Charles J. McDermott. 
The North Caldwell, N. J., seven-man team visited the 
North Side Gun Club grounds at Paterson, on Saturday 
of last week, and shot the long-deferred team match. 
They were the victors by a score of 125 to 117. A re¬ 
turn match will be shot on the North Caldwell Club’s 
grounds on Feb. 9. 
Secretary Edward Winslow sets forth the conditions 
of the championship contest of the Metropolitan clubs, 
to be held by the Montclair, N. J., Gun Club on April 
3. The Montclair Gun Club promotes strictly amateur 
competition, has a high class membership, is the most 
active club of New York and vicinity, and' without 
doubt will make a brilliant success of this event. It is 
a good opportunity for several clubs to scrape off the 
barnacles and get busy. 
The 15-bird handicap, held at the Point Breeze track, 
Philadelphia, Jan. 22, had eighteen contestants. H. 
Buckwalter, Cloverdale, and Rotzell finished with 15 each. 
Tn the afternoon a match was shot at 25 birds, for $50 a 
side, by W. Bollman, of Lebanon, and H. S. Young, of 
Philadelphia. The scores were: Bollman 25, Young 21. 
A match was arranged between the Lebanon and Phila¬ 
delphia shooters, to take place on Feb. 22, at 25 live 
birds, seven men on a team, $350 a side.

Secretary-Manager Elmer E. Shaner writes us as fol¬ 
lows: “Please be kind enough to announce to the 
readers of Forest and Stream that the Interstate Asso¬ 
ciation's eighth Grand American Handicap target tourna¬ 
ment will be held at Chicago, June 18, 19, 20 and 21, on

May 8 , 9 and 10, under the auspices of the Deep Run 
Hunt Club; $1,000 added money. The Interstate Associa¬ 
tion’s thirl Pacific Coast Handicap will be given at 
Spokane, Wash., Sept. 10, 11 and 12, under the auspices 
of the Spokane Rod and Gun Club; $1,000 or more added 
money.” 
On Monday of this week we learn that the violent at¬ 
tack of erysipelas from which Mr. Lester German, of 
Aberdeen, Md., has been suffering during some days 
past, has not abated. The attack is" in his face. He was 
ill when he shot in the 100-target race at Wissinoming, 
Jan. 19. His hosts of friends will feel profoundly sor¬ 
rowful and sympathetic on learning of the affliction 
from which this great shot and sterling man suffers. 
We heartily wish him a speedy recovery and the con¬ 
tinued ability to pile up highest averages for innumer¬ 
able years to come.

In our trap columns this week Mr. Edward Banks 
discourses most interestingly and instructively on that 
waif of trophy competition, the New York City Cup. 
No one can set forth all matters concerning it better than 
he, for no one has the .full knowledge, possessed by him, 
concerning it. This will be self-evident when it is known 
that it was he who. advocated the need of a definite State 
championship; who, by personal effort, secyred sub¬ 
scribers and subscriptions to it; in short, it was he who 
did all the active work pertaining to it from its inception 
to its launching. The official indifference manifested 
toward this beautiful trophy had its origin, without 
do'ubt, in the clause of the deed of gift which had to 
do with $25 for the successful contestant for it at the 
yearly shoot; that is, it enjoined that $25 was to have 
been so paid, but 'was not, so far as we know. The State 
shoots, at that time, were run on the principle of getting 
all the money available and getting it quick. Donations 
by the hundreds were solicited in the name of sports¬ 
manship, and transformed through regular business 
stages of competition into legal tender, which in turn 
went direct into the club coffers in the name of finance. 
The New York State Association for the Protection of 
Fish and Game consequently was moribund during sev¬ 
eral years. Its true title at that time should have been 
the New York State Association for the Protection of 
any Club holding the State Shoot. From a great State 
organization for years after it was first organized, it 
degenerated into a clap-trap, get-rich-quick scheme, with 
the shooters of the State as the producers. The matter 
of trophies and honors never could compete with the 
value of the merchandise list, as viewed by the club 
holding the shoot. Is it to be wondered at that the 
N. Y. S. A. for the P. of G. and F. in time became 
weak and anemic? By providing special consideration 
for the two remaining contests for the New York city 
cup, the special consideration which is its due would be 
provided.

Crescent Athletic Club. 
Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, Jan. 26.— There was a shifting 
wind, which made irregular flights;- there whs a cold 
temperature, which affected adversely the fingers of the 
contestants, and the snow made a glare of light very 
trying .to the eyes. The leg on the January cup was 
won by Mr. F. B. Stephenson, who made a score of 22 
from scratch; but the best three scores were made by 
Messrs. J. H. Ernst and W. C. Damron, and in the 
shoot-off Mr. Ernst was the winner of the coveted Janu¬ 
ary trophy. He also won the white owl, a beautiful 
product of the taxidermist’s skill, presented by Vice- 
President Charles J. McDermott, who is also chairman of 
the Shooting Committee. Scores:

Championship Metropolitan Clubs. 
The Montclair, N. J., Gun Club will hold its first 
annual metropolitan championship tournament on Wed¬ 
nesday, April 3. The conditions governing the contest 
are as follows: 
Contestants must be amateurs in good standing, and 
members of gun clubs located within fifty miles of New 
York city. 100 targets, unknown traps, unknown angles. 
Entrance $2,including price of targets. Two batteries of 
Expert traps will be used. Mr. A. R. Allen, of the 
Montclair Club, has donated a handsome sterling silver 
loving cup as first prize, and the club will add two 
smaller cups as second and third prizes, as well as a 
cup for professionals. 
If five clubs or more are represented by at least five 
men each, a cup will be awarded to that club whose 
representative squad shall make the highest aggregate 
score in the championship event. 
This is the first time in the history of the Montclair 
Gun Club that it has held an open shoot, and it is done 
with the desire of promoting the best interests of the 
sport of trapshooting in the vicinity of New York, and 
not with the desire of making money for the club. 
For further information, programmes, etc., inquiry 
may be made of the secretary, Edward Winslow, Mont¬ 
clair, N. J.
