FOREST AND STREAM 
[April 23, 1910.

Bergen Beach Gun Club. 
Brooklyn, N. Y.—The boss of the weather around 
these parts allowed the unpleasant rumor to circulate 
that rain would accompany the sliding handicap and spe¬ 
cial 100-bird sweepstake event on our grounds at Avenue 
N and Seventy-first street, Brooklyn, on April 12. Old 
Boreas fooled him, and after making a bluff from the 
northeast in the morning, shifted to the north and north¬ 
west and finished strong from the west in the late after¬ 
noon, wafting the rain clouds back where they belong, east 
of Montauk Point. This uncertain condition of the weather 
decreased the possible attendance to the measly total of 
forty-seven participants, a goodly number withal, though 
lacking the say-so and approval of the self-constituted 
arbiters of the healthy sport of trapshooting, who re¬ 
quire, when “registered,” a return by the secretary of the 
gun club’s tournament so registered, of the pedigree of 
the contestant besides which Uncle Sam’s census man’s 
questions pale in comparison. 
There is no doubt, however, that the report of possible 
damp conditions cut down the attendance somew'hat and 
caused quite a number to delay their arrival on the 
grounds until several hours after the announced time 
for the opening of the competition. These were welcome 
just the same, and room was made for them by the 
management, and between 8,000 and 9,000 targets were 
catapulted from the two sets of expert traps, Sergeant 
system, up to the time when daylight waned. 
Over 5,000 loaded shells were sold at approximate cost, 
so that the “system” has no kick coming. You cannot 
shoot without shells, so shells are really a necessity, and 
necessities should not be taxed. The people in this 
great and glorious country are not moribund to the 
question as the present time, and there will probably be 
something doing in the near future. 
It was the intention of the club to work the three sets 
of traps, but good trappers are difficult to procure at this 
season of the year, and our staff was lacking in referees 
and sgorers also; but the volunteers who officiated did 
right nobly. President Bergen and Treasurer Dreyer 
spent the whole day previous to the shoot regulating and 
placing the traps in beautiful working order, and they 
worked right sleek—both the officers and the traps, for 
the Captain, and Harry scored, pulled the traps and 
hustled from beginning to end. 
Mr. Ferdinand Carl Schneider refereed at the No. 2 
set, and volunteers did the same at the club, or No. 1 
set; a couple of the manufacturers’ agents were among 
them. 
The officers of the club scored at both sets. Messrs. 
Montanus,'Wellbrock, Kroger, Morgan and other mem¬ 
bers were indefatigable in making the affair a success. 
There were very few balks. Of course, Mr. E. W. 
Reynolds had his hands full in charge of the office, and 
squadding was rather difficult owing to the sliding han¬ 
dicap and special events conflicting at times. Entries in 
the sweep in the special 100 were closed at 1 o’clock, and 
the optional on the 100 in the sliding handicap was called 
off for lack of entries. 
Mr. J. H. Vanderveer gave the finest exhibition of 
ability at the club set in the sliding handicap that ever 
took place on these grounds, a total of 92, shot in sec¬ 
tions of 20 targets each. A 19 from the 16yd. mark, a 
19 from the l-9yd. mark, and an 18 from the same mark 
and two 18s from the 18yd. mark is beautiful work. 
Mr. Leopold Gille, one of our members, the famous 
continental cake baker of Jersey City, who has the 
' dough, presented the club with an example of his famous 
handiwork. Van wrapped up the cake with some of 
E. W. Reynolds’ photos and took them home in his 
motor car. 
P. M. Kling, who shot well and consistently in both 
events, was runner-up with 89, and Brother Medler, who 
is coming strong with 85, was third. 
By the way, Mr. Neaf Apgar was taken ill with chills 
on the way to the shoot, and Mr. Medler kindly assisted 
him until able to start on his way home, so we lost the 
pleasure of Neaf’s company to-day. 
Mr. Schreivogel. who had been in trouble all day 
from a sore shoulder, had to retire at the end of the 
second 20 from the intense pain. Messrs. Dalton, Frank 
Stephenson, Dr. Welzmuller, R. Morgan and Schorty 
landed in the 80s. 
This event was also divided into five 20-bird sweeps. 
Rose system, five moneys. Schorty made the only 20 
straight in these sweeps. 
Of the professionals, Mr. W. H. Johnson and Mr. 
Simon Glover accounted for a straight 20 in one of the 
sections. Mr. H. S. Welles was high in that class in 
both events. 
The only sweep in the special 100 target race at 16yds. 
was a $5 optional on the total, two moneys, 60 and 40 
per cent, respectively, high gun division. The former 
was high in the total of both events, 174. Mr. Frank 
Stephenson and Mr. P. M. Kling totaled 172 each. Mr. 
G. K. Kouwenhoven came too late to enter in the 
optional of the second event, but his total of 68 out of 
75 showed that he probably would have been near the 
top if he had entered. 
Mr. Woodruff, a very consistent shot, has not quite 
recovered from an operation; but he is getting in line 
for the State shoot. 
Dr. Welzmuller and Mr. W. C. Damron were well up 
in both events. 
Mr. A. M. Dalton ranked next to Messrs. F. Stephen¬ 
son and Mr. P. M. Kling in combined totals. 
The conditions of our May shoot may possibly be 
changed, the sliding handicap scheduled in the main set 
being replaced by a 100-target race at 16yds. 
Many practice targets were thrown before the regular 
events. 
Event 1, sliding handicap: 
Shot at. Broke.
