FOREST AND STREAM 
[Dec. 4, 1909. 
Crescent Athletic Club. 
Brooklyn, L. X., Nov. 27.—There was quite a good 
attendance of shooters at the Bay Ridge traps. Com¬ 
petition was keen and ties were numerous. 
The final shoot for the November cup excited much 
interest. Six contestants had a show to win. The suc¬ 
cessful aspirant was the veteran, C. A. Lockwood, who 
scored the final and necessary win with the total of 24, 
or 47 out of 50 for the two highest scores. The Novem¬ 
ber scratch shoot resulted in a win by F. B. Stephenson, 
W. C. Damron and G. G. Stephenson, Jr., and the prize 
was divided. Four contestants tied on full scores of 25 
for the Stake trophy, D. T. Leahy winning the shoot-off. 
Dr. Keyes and H. W. Woodcock won the team contest 
after a shoot-off. The scores:

There w-as a light attendance at the Thanksgiving Day 
shoot of the Crescents, the severe, cold, storm being any- 
th . ln J ,° ut an inducement for outdoor recreation. The 
wind blew a gale part of the time, a decidedly unfavor- 
able condition for good scoring. Dr. J. T. Keves was the 
most successful contestant He won in the' Thanking 
trophy event and also in the cup shoot at 25 targets and 
a trophy contest at 15 targets. Scores follow ’

‘You say your _ husband’s love of hunting is -what 
enables you to enjoy his society?” 
“Yes,” answered young Mrs. Torkins; “sometimes 
Charley has to stay at home two or three weeks at a 
time getting the bird shot out of his system.”—Washing¬

Rohrerstown Gun Club. 
Rohrerstown, Pa., Nov. 19.—The first registered tour¬ 
nament of the Rohrerstown Gun Club was held on the 
club grounds at this nlace, Thursday and Fridav, Nov. 
18 and 19. Manager Hitmer provided an attractive pro¬ 
gramme, and the attendance at the shoot should have 
been larger. Only five amateurs participated, and but 
one of these shot through the programme. The Rohrers¬ 
town Club grounds are the finest in Lancaster county, 
perhaps in this section of the State; but this failed to 
attract even the Lancaster county shooters. The scores 
for the two days follow:

Aurora Artificial Live Bird Gun Club. 
Aurora, O., Nov. 24. —The Thanksgiving poultry 
shoot given by the Aurora Artificial Live Bird Gun 
Club proved to be very successful and pleasant in 
every respect. The weather was very fine and twenty 
or more participants seemed to enjoy the occasion very 
much. 
,The club used two two-bird systems; the first is 
known as the field system, and gives left-quartering, 
outgoing and incoming, and right-quartering outgoing 
and incoming flights; and over these a two-bird pit 
system from which the birds fly; on angles like clay 
targets, only instead of a crowning or crescent flight 
like clay disks these are directly the reverse. This 
gives a very wide range of flights, and, if unknown, will 
keep the shooters guessing all the time. 
We had several strange but welcome faces at this 
shoot, and prominent among them we mention Mr. T. G. 
Barstow, one of the genial gentlemen, representing 
Winchester Repeating Arms Co.,; also Mr. Lee, of 
Kent, O., a sportsman and trap shot competent to shoot 
in any company; also Mr. Brown, of Solon, O., a 
genial all-round sportsman who can with a little prac¬ 
tice at our birds make them all sit up and take notice; 
also Messrs. B. and C. McIIrath, of Cleveland, O., both 
good shots and good company, a'nd several others, whose 
names we failed to get. 
Nearly all of our visitors are fine trap shots and can 
snuff out clay targets in great shape, but they found 
“artificial live birds” swift and elusive and much more 
difficult to connect with, but when they did connect, the 
birds dropped and the feathers flew, so that there was 
no doubt about the kill. Nevertheless, they seemed to 
enjoy this new sport very much and spoke enthusiastic¬ 
ally about trying to induce other experts and profes¬ 
sionals to come here and try them out and test their 
skill. 
The names of the shooters and the number of shots 
by each is given below, but the number of kills is 
omitted out of courtesy to all: Brown, Hurd. Lee, 
Tames, F. M. Treat, G. A. Treat, Kennedy, Howitt, 
Rogers, Stutzman. B. McIIrath, C. McIIrath, Hatch, 
Harmon, Isham, Thresher, Needles, Norman. 50 each; 
Barstow, and Noble, 75 each. E. E. T., Capt. 
Frontier Rod and Gun Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., -Nov. 28. —Although the weather was 
anything but favorable for trapshooting, twenty-two 
sportsmen faced the traps at the regular shoot of the 
Frontier Rod and Gun Club. The points for the silver 
trophies were won by Wakefield, Philippbar, Peasland 
and Clay. 
Event 3 was the badge shoot. Event 6 was at doubles.
