FOREST AND STREAM. 
[June ii, 1910. 
New Jersey State Shoot. 
The seventh annual tournament, registered, of the New 
Jersey State Sportsmen’s Association was held under the 
auspices of the Atlantic City Gun Club, Atlantic City, 
N. J., Tune 1, 2, 3 and 4. June 1 was practice day, but 
the competition was apart from the regular program 
events as its name implies. 
The competition took place at the ocean end ot 
Young’s Pier, made known to shooting fame in con¬ 
nection with the tournaments of the Westy Hogans in 
recent years. ... , . xj t 
Four sets of traps, supervised by the expert, ii. t^. 
Brown, threw the targets efficiently. While there was 
some phenomenal scoring done, the targets were tar 
from easy. They seemed to go a full 50yds., and the 
gusty, changeable winds of the three days taxed the 
skill and alertness of all contestants. _ ,» 
The office work and general supervision of the tour¬ 
nament was in charge of the experts, Lloyd Lewis, Harry 
Overbaugh and H. H. Stevens, all men of long ex 
perience and proved efficiency. Mr. T. S. Chalfant acted 
most efficiently as compiler of scores and bookkeeper. 
His work was a model of neatness, accuracy and legibil¬ 
ity. At the close of each day the office work was com¬ 
pletely up to date, with ease and precision. This was 
far from an easy task, if one considers that some of the 
events served a double or triple purpose; that is, besides 
being sweepstakes, they served as events for the special 
contests, of which there were three on the first day, 
four and five respectively on the second and third days, 
and the Hunter vase for the longest straight run of the 
tournament. , , c . , 
The weather was cool, a bit too cool for comfort, and a 
strong wind prevailed much of the time in the three days. 
The referees, scorers, trap-pullers, etc., were experi¬ 
enced men, well schooled in their respective duties, con¬ 
sequently the competition progressed smoothly and 
pleasantly. , . . , 
The headquarters were at Youngs Hotel, which ac¬ 
corded special rates to the shooters, differing in this 
respect from hotels in other localities, where, because of 
an influx of trapshooters, the rates are raised. Com¬ 
petition was open to all amateurs, except m three state 
events, the three-man team, the two-man team, and the 
State championship. Thus, other than these, the cash, 
merchandise and trophies were open to all amateurs. _ 
A number of the visiting shooters brought their fami¬ 
lies to enjoy witnessing the contests, and the seashore 
pleasures of that renowned summer resort, Atlantic City. 
The summer influx of visitors had not well begun, as the 
cool weather was not favorable to thoughts of board 
walks and ocean breezes. 
The program was designed specially to please that 
numerous class, known occasionally as the 80 or So per 
cent, shooters, but it failed, in a measure, to do so, first, 
because events at 25 targets leave only a remote chance 
for the 85 percenter to win, and, second, because in the 
Consolation Stake, devised specially for the weaker shoot¬ 
ers, there were “top-notchers” to contend with, con¬ 
trary to the statement set forth in the program. 
On June 1, practice day, eight events were provided, 
two at 15 targets, 30 cents entrance, and six at 20 
targets, 40 cents entrance, optional sweepstake, $2 extra 
in each event. Thirty shooters took part. G. E. Painter 
was high amateur with 145. He broke his last four 
straight. Weidebusch was second in the totals with 143. 
H. Stevens was high professionals with 146. 
The recent Pennsylvania State shoot undoubtedly affec¬ 
ted the attendance of Pennsylvania shooters, as that great 
event afforded shooting enough for a reasonable while. 
Philadelphia and vicinity was but lightly represented, 
considering the great number of shooters therein. 
On the first day there were sixty-seven shooters, of 
whom thirteen were professionals. On the second day 
there were sixty-eight, and on the third day there were 
seventy-seven. Only a very small percentage failed to 
shoot through the program. „ , 
At the Association meeting, George H. Piercy and 
John S. Fanning were re-elected president and first vice- 
president respectively. F. J. Hineline was elected second 
vice-president, C. T. Day, secretary-treasurer. Trustees: 
H. B. Cook, C. W. Billings and P. M. Kling, Atlantic 
City was decided upon for the shoot of 1911. 
June 2, First Day. 
There were eight sweepstake events, 50 cents for tar¬ 
gets and $2 entrance in the sweepstakes. 
Events 1 to 4, inclusive, 100 targets, constituted the 
Marlborough-Blenheim trophy event, won by C. .E. Mink, 
with a score of 98. 
Events 5 and 6 , 50 targets, constituted the three-man 
team championship. , 
Events 7 and 8 constituted the Chalfonte Hotel trophy 
event. It was won by Dr. D. L. Culver with a straight 
score of 50 and a stiff shoot-off with Richardson, Herman 
and Coffin. For the entire day’s program, six prizes, 
$20, $15. $10, $7.50, $7.50 and $5, were for the six .-;gh 
guns. The Currie Co. trophy also was for first high 
amateur. 
There was a stiff wind blowing from the shooters to 
the traps, a 6 o’clock wind in rifle shooters’ parlance. It 
depressed the targets and thereby caused much over¬ 
shooting. . . , 
Six three-man teams were entered, of which three were 
of the Atlantic City Club. Freehold won with the ex¬ 
cellent total of 144 out of 150, a 96 per cent, performance. 
The high averages for the day were phenomenal. Of 
the amateurs, H. P. Plerman was first with 195 out of 
200 W M Wolstencroft was second with 194, P. S. 
Coffin third,' 193. W. M. Foord, A. B. Richardson and 
A L Ivins tied on 191. Of the professionals, J. Mowell 
Hawkins scored 197. L. S. German was next with 195.

On the second day the wind blew from the traps to 
the shooters, a 12 o’clock wind. It carried the targets 
high, with erratic flights betimes, which caused many a 
miss. As to sweepstakes the program was like that of 
the previous day. . , . , 
The sweeDStake events also carried five special events. 
Nos. 1 to 4, inclusive, 100 targets, were for the Chelsea 
Hotel trophy. Nos. 3 and 4 were for the Western Car¬ 
tridge Co. trophv. Nos. 5 and 6 were the two man team 
championship, $2 entrance. Nos. 7 and 8 were for the 
Dennis Hotel trophy, and the Consolation event. 
High amateur received the Traymore Llotel trophy 
besides $10 of the $40 cash prizes for the six high ama¬ 
teurs, divided $10, $10 and four $5 prizes. . 
W M Foord. the Wilmington. Del., expert, was high 
with 197. W. M. Wolstencroft and C. W. Billings were 
second with 194. A. B. Richardson and H. P. Herman 
were 192. H. Kahler, 191. Foord also won the Chelsea 
trophy with 99. He was closely pressed by Wolstencroft, 
who scored but one less. Bissett, Richardson and Her¬ 
man were next with 97 each, the latter winning the 
shoot-off with 25 straight. „ _ ^ . 
C E Mink won the Western Cartridge Co. trophy 
with 50 straight. Seven contestants, tied for second on 
49, of whom Wolstencroft was the winner by breaking J> 
straight twice, a total of 50 straight. H. W. Kahler 
won the Dennis Hotel trophy with 50 straight. Billings, 
Wiedebush and Wolstencroft tied on 49 for second, the 
latter winning the shoot-off. 
The two-man team chamoionship was won by bree- 
hold No. 1, with a total of 97. . 
Events 7 and 8 , 50 targets, constituted the Consolation 
event, open to contestants who had shot through the 
program without winning a trophy. The first was taken 
bv W. A. Wiedebush. He scored 49. E. A. .Cordery and 
Hastings scored 48 each. Four, F. Muldoon, G. E. 
Painter, C. T. Day, Jr., R. M. Owen and H. Powers, 
tied on’47. The records of some of the high men in this 
stake somewhat upset the theory of the Consolation
