Cosmopolitan Amateur Championship. 
The chief attraction to trapshooters of New York and 
vicinity, on Oct. 12, was the third annual cosmopolitan 
championship, held under the auspices of the riergen 
Beach Gun Club, of Brooklyn. The conditions were i00 
targets, 16yds., high guns, entrance $2.50; ties lor trophies 
to be shot off at 26 targets, competition open to all 
amateurs. Sixty-eight amateurs contested for the prizes, 
while the trade was generously represented, nine noted 
professionals participating. 
There were four main prizes, first being a sterling 
silver trophy, donated by Capt. H. YV. Dreyer, and $26 
in gold, while second, third and fourth had a trophy and 
$0 in gold. The next seven high guns—that is, from five 
to eleven, inclusive—had respectively $5. Three sets of 
expert traps, Sergeant system, were provided lor throw¬ 
ing the targets. 
ihe weatner signs of the morning were not auspicious 
for a good day. There had been a cold, persistent rain 
during the mgnt, followed by irregular winas of moderate 
force, which gradually decreased toward midday, when 
for a time there was a calm, in the afternoon the wind 
gradually resumed its morning stunts, so that the scores 
were not made under the most favorable conditions. 
Ihe victor was Louis W. Colquitt, of the Montclair, 
N. J., Gun Club, a Class man at the traps during many 
years past, though being of a modest, retiring disposition, 
his fame has not equalled his deserts by a wide margin. 
His was no easy win, however, lor Secretary Schorte- 
meier, of the Bergen Beach Gun Club, was racing with 
him nose-and-nose, with the result that they tied on 92 
lor first. in the first shoot-oft they tied again, their 
scores being 21 out of 25. The second shoot-olf decided 
the championship, Colquitt scoring 21 to 19. The cham¬ 
pion was shooting under a great nervous tension, but 
finished strong, and made a popular win, as the hearty 
congratulations bestowed on Hint evidenced. Thus Col¬ 
quitt took first prize, while Schortemeier, being second 
high gun, took the beautiful cut-glass set. C. vV. Bill¬ 
ings, of the New York Athletic Club, was third alone 
with 91, and took third trophy. George H. Riercy, of 
Jersey City; II. A. Groesbeck, Jr., of the North Kiver 
Gun Club, of Edgewater, N. J., were next in order 
with a tie on 89, which in the shoot-otl resulted in 
favor of Riercy, 23 to 21, and determined fourth and 
fifth places. Ihe remaining winners in the regular 
order were: Dr. D. L. Culver, Rort Jervis, 88 ; F. R. 
Long, Bergen Beach Gun Club, 88 ; R. M. Kling, Eliza¬ 
beth, N. J., 87; R. H. Woodruff, North River Gun 
Club, 87; L). T. Leahy, Crescent A. A., 87, and for 
eleventh place there were three who tied on 86 , namely, 
A. L. Ivins, Freehold Gun Club; W. W. Peabody, Jr., 
Crescent A. A., and John Martin, Bergen Beach G. C. 
With the championship contest was an optional $5 
sweepstake, one money for each four entries, and there 
were twenty-eight contestants in this side competition. 
Everything worked smoothly, excepting such trifling 
delays as are inseparable from adjusting the traps be¬ 
times, and a further delay in collecting pick-ups to sup¬ 
ply a deficiency in targets. The event, however, was 
finished in good time, about 5 o’clock. 
Mr. E. M. Hurd, of Albany, was unfortunate, his gun 
getting out of order early, causing his withdrawal. 
J. H. Hendrickson has not been in the best of health 
recently, hence was not in his usual championship form. 
The presentation of the cup was made by Capt. Dreyer, 
and Colquitt responded briefly but happily, receiving 
hearty applause. 
E. VV. Reynolds acted as cashier. 
Of the nine professionals, Lester S. German was well 
in the lead with 95, second place going to H. S. Welles 
with 90, and for third, J. A. R. Elliott being close lip with 
89. The 100 targets were shot in strings of 25 with 
scores as follows:
