In the event at 10 live birds, at the Point Breeze track, 
Philadelphia, Nov. 14, Messrs. Staley, Rivel and Fisher, 
each shooting from the 30yd. mark, killed straight. A 
match for $50 a side, 25 birds, was arranged to take place 
on Nov. 21, between Staley, 32yds., and F. Poulson, 
28yds. 
December 18 has been fixed upon for the annual 
amateur championship contest, to be held under the 
auspices of the New York Athletic Club, at 1 ravers 
Island. This is a very popular trapshooting event, has 
grown steadily in importance, and undoubtedly will have 
gratifying support. 
Under the auspices of the Amackassin Gun Club, of 
Yonkers, N. Y., the Westchester county championship 
shoot will be held on their grounds, Roberts avenue, 
on Dec. 5, starting at 2 o’clock. This event will be at 
100 targets, 16yds. rise. All amateur gunners of the 
county can compete. The prize, a handsome silver loving 
cup, is now on exhibition in the window of Frank 
Knepfer’s store at 24 Main street. The grounds can 
be reached by riding to Roberts avenue on the Park 
avenue trolley. 
On Saturday of last week the Crescent Athletic Club 
shooters resumed trapshooting competition, on the club’s 
grounds, at Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Despite the wintry 
weather, there was a good attendance. The traps are 
now located at the northwest corner of the upper field, 
contiguous to the grand stand of the lacrosse field. A 
high board fence for protection has been built around the 
upper field. The shooters decided to petition the athletic 
committee for an additional set of traps, and for a small 
club house back of the traps. Mr. W. W. Peabody 
scored a leg on the November cup; with his handicap of 
4, he made the possible, 25. 
In the contest for the Ithaca gun, at the tournament of 
the Salem County Rod and Gun Club, Nov. 12, Mr. 
Charles Newcomb, of Philadelphia, and 1 Mr. Warren 
Risner, of Pennsgrove, N. J., tied on 22 out of 25. 
Owing to a business engagement, Newcomb left as soon 
as his squad finished shooting. The tie occurred after¬ 
ward. Kisner claimed that Newcomb had forfeited his 
right by leaving before the event was concluded. The 
matter has been submitted to the well-known authority, 
Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, for final adjudication. Newcomb 
scored high average in the sweepstake events, 136 out of 
155. German was second with 135.
