won in 
third shoot-off over E. O. Bower. 
Notes. 
John Mullen is certainly the right man for the ofjjce. 
Everyone spoke of his very courteous manner. John 
wears the smile that won’t come off. 
The referee at trap No. 1. Mr. D. W. Buckner, was 
highly appreciated. He certainly understands his busi¬ 
ness and keeps things moving along smoothly. His de¬ 
cisions were made promptly and fairly. The class of 
work done by Mr. Buckner is not experienced at many 
tournaments. 
While Dr. Hopkins fell below his usual good average 
in breaking them, he made good as the most graceful 
shooter in the bunch. This was especially noted by 
the ladies. 
Brown got there with both feet, and made some good 
scores, but says he knows more about running a street 
railway than making a straight. 
M. J. Rathbone says that he selected the shock ab¬ 
sorber as his prize in the merchandise event that he 
might take off the jar occasioned by the balance of his 
scores. 
Westcott came all the way from Leesburg, Pa., ar 
while not shooting up to his usual form, having r 
cently undergone a serious operation, no- one enjoye 
the sport more than he. 
Franklin’s little red pills, taken by the Doctor hir 
self, were only working in spots. 
Rugg did not shoot in his usual good form; 87 p< 
cent, is not up to his average. Better luck next tim 
Rugg. 
Hart Stanberry, the genial Duke of Pomeroy ar 
Chief Squaw Hunter, was much in evidence, with h 
white pine gun. Hart did not shoot up to his usu 
form, but he scored 1000 per cent, in good fellowship. 
Dudley is a florist, and bouquets are common for hit 
but who is it that will not vote him a royal good fellov 
He held his own as an orator at the banquet, too. 
I >r. Shattuck and T. S. Bibbee proved themselves tv 
of the youngest shooters on the ground. 
Dr. Gribble shot less than a 90 per cent, gait, som 
thing unusual for him, although he is comparatively ne 
at the game. When he gets going with his new gt 
will surely give a good account of himself 
McCormick was shooting a new gun, and did n 
snoot as well as he knows how bv anv means Mac 
a good fellow, and a splendid shot. He smilingly sa 
he will deliver the goods in sealed packages the ne 
time he goes to Parkersburg. A Shooter 
The Forest and Stream may be obtained from any 
newsdealer on order. Ask your dealer to supply you 
regularly. 
Emerald Gun Club. 
New York. —The final contest for the year at live 
birds of the above-named gun club took place on Tues¬ 
day, Sept. 28. This finished the twenty-eighth year of 
the club’s existence, shooting every year since its or¬ 
ganization, and though the club’s membership has been 
reduced during that time by resignations and deaths, the 
balance reTnain steadfast and enthusiastic. 
As the occasion properly required, Dr. Geo. V. Hud¬ 
son, the only charter member remaining, made top score, 
tying the record for the day, and on his last bird a 
spontaneous cheer went up when the clever old sports¬ 
man negotiated a fast nght-quarterer with a precise 
second barrel. 
The day and night previous had been stormy, but the 
sun rose brightly and there never w'as a day more in 
harmony with the feelings of a sportsman as this day 
proved to be. A northwest wind sprang up, getting 
stronger as the day went on, the contest finishing in 
about a 20-mile zephyr, blowing from left to right across 
the traps. 
The birds were excellent and the scores, with a few 
exceptions, commendatory. 
President May began with a miss on a very fast bird 
and showed lack of practice. He lost his 10th and 17th 
dead out, but his 19th, a corkscrew driver, was a beauti¬ 
ful stop with the first effort. 
Mr. Catton shot a slow first barrel as his score indi¬ 
cates, and naturally had to make some long seconds. 
His 8th and 29th were good firsts on good birds. 
Capt. Dreyer shot his automatic, but did not do as 
well as on his last visit to these grounds, when 38 out of 
40 was the result of judgment. He lost his first and 
second, dropped 6 of his first 12, and then buckled down, 
losing but one of the next 18, giving a quick and snappy 
performance from the 13th bird on. His 9th, 19th, 25th, 
27th and 28th were just as good as they get them. 
Schorty lost 4 of his complement of 30, shooting over 
these, all low flyers. His 5th, 14th and 19th were stops 
on fast ones. 
Mr. Al. Schoverling, with his pump, forced himself 
in President May’s class, the 30yd. mark evidently not 
agreeing with him, as all of his seconds were shot on 
fast ones; but his 3d, 15th, 20th and 23d were good efforts. 
Dr. Hudson’s first bird was marked with a star; lost 
his 6th and 7th, and then ran 23 straight to a finish. 
His 2d, 10th, 20th and 25th~were cleverly negotiated, and 
his 26th was a whirlwind, which came to grass at the 
Doc’s call, with the left barrel. 
Henry Koegel, still live-bird champion of New Jersey, 
didn’t let them get fast with that lightning first of his, 
and tied high score with 90 per cent. He made an 
excellent stop of his 9th; his 12th was simply unkillabie, 
and he finished his. last 16 without a miss. 
Mr. Rohlfs shot in good form; his 8th, a long second 
on a fast driver, an asterisk on his 26th destroying his 
chance to tie for high score. 
Our secretary, Mr. Thomas Short, gave his usual bang- 
bang exhibition. That was alone worth the price of 
admission. His 5th, 21st and final birds were eye-open¬ 
ers. 
Capt. Martin Reierson drew with Capt. Dreyer the 
fastest birds of the day, and his total of 20 scarcely does 
him justice. His 12th was a spectacular second on the 
fastest of flyers, comparing with Doc Hudson’s 26th; 
and his 4th, 13th, 14th, 26th and 27th were master 
efforts. His final one, a miss, was a driving twisting 
zigzagger that beat the band and the master-pilot’s gun. 
His 26th in particular was a stop similar to his 12th. 
Mr. Thoben was elected a member of the club to-day, 
and considering he had never shot from the trap at the 
• real thing until to-day, his score was good. His 5th 
and 27th were excellent kills, and his 11th and 25th were 
marked with a star. 
The usual club sweepstake was included in the total 
number of birds shot at, high gun division. 
Doc Hudson and Henrv Koegel divided first and 
second; Schortv and Rohlfs third and fourth moneys; 
Tom Short taking fifth. 
Most of the members stopped at Luckv Straub’s 
sportsmen’s headquarters at Allentown, on the way to 
the grounds, and though they missed the glass case in 
which Lucky’s rubber boots, guns, fishing tackle and 
other sportsmen’s paraphernalia were exhibited, thev 
were consoled bv the deviled crabs, clam-chowder and 
the palatable Lehigh county sausage that atoned for the 
lack of the exhibition in this elegant new appointed 
hostlery. Mr. A. B. Schaefer at the shooting grounds 
served a good breakfast and dinner. Referee, scorer 
and schuetzenmeister, L. H. Schortemeier.
