Laurel Springs—Haddonfield. 
Haddonfield, N. J., April 29.—The return match for 
the cup donated by the Haddonfield and Laurel Springs 
gun clubs was won by Haddonfield to-day; score. 424 to 
379. The match was shot on the grounds of the Laurel 
Springs Gun Club. By way of preface, the Laurels are a 
comparatively young club, and it is not saying too much 
of them when I tell you their membership is composed 
of excellent material. They are an earnest, energetic 
aggregation of shooters. They gave us the glad hand of 
welcome like gentlemen. They took defeat philosophic- 
lily, as only true sportsmen can.

Gel Together. 
Buffalo, N. Y„ April 28 —Editor Forest and Stream: 
In line with the treatise on trapshooting by that able 
critic, Paul North, which you published some months 
ago, I submit the following impressions, which 1 have 
gained m the observations of the advancement of this 
sport within the last few years. 
It is quite natural that pleasure out of do*rs should 
have associated with it the field gun, so different from 
years ago with pioneers, when that association was so 
necessary for protection. The gun has always been the 
mam attraction for sport in the woods and field, and 
naturally shooting has carried with it the glories of 
wl . n *}iug’ and generally when this sport has been ap¬ 
plied to the field, a money consideration for such 
victories. 
The higher' degree which the education and advance¬ 
ment of our people is attaining is most marked by the 
absence of any conflict in sport which will cause dis¬ 
comfort or loss among 11s. 
The sport of trapshooting is a good barometer for the 
advancement of this universal peace; in fact, lends great 
assistance to that end. The early use of the field gun 
was often shaded with the taking of life or the winning 
of high wagers from people that could ill-afford to lose. 
When we consider its place to-day, we know it is not 
connected with either of these elements. We see the 
people of our immediate locality getting together in a 
healthful out-door sport through the medium of trap¬ 
shooting, and again see these people mingling with 
those of other cities in the same friendly enjoyment, and 
they are all lovers of that great sport. We associate 
with people of the East and West, and from Dixie and 
Canada, thereby promulgating a general feeling of uni¬ 
versal friendship and peace among all. 
The most pleasing history is made at the gatherings 
between shooters from the United States and Canada, in 
such meetings as the Buffalo Audubon Club, the Ham¬ 
ilton Gun Club and similar clubs have. Also between 
the shooters of the North and South that visit the tour¬ 
naments in those localities. Under these conditions, the 
feelings of 1812 and 1861 have passed away, and the 
familiarity and friendship which trapshooting has brought 
about is mightier than the powers of the pen. 
What will continue this marked advancement of this 
sport is a question that many of our best minds have 
in their leisure moments found time to consider. 
It is a fact that our natural desires lead us to out- 
of-doors enjoyment. It is also true that many of those 
who enjoy such sport do not assist or are not aware of 
the good that could be derived in the advancement and 
continuance of same. Consequently, it will be observed 
by those who have followed the sport of trapshooting, 
that the manufacturers of supplies who cater to this 
class of trade have been of great assistance in the 
furthering of this enjoyment. It is also true that they 
have been subjected to what would seem by some unjusf 
criticism. However, it is safe to say that until recently 
where discontentment existed money matters were in¬ 
volved, and to this end the following suggestions are 
given for consideration for the betterment of this sport: 
Do not have money prizes in any contest. Shoot for 
trophies. 
Do not grade your shooters in classes. Shoot sliding 
handicaps, and they will grade themselves. 
Do not be afraid to mingle with other clubs. Invite 
them to your grounds and have friendly matches. This 
is the way all concerned will enjoy the sport. 
Do not blame the manufacturer if he is doing some¬ 
thing you did not have time to do. 
Take part in the meetings regulating such matters, and 
use your influence for the general good. 
Remember, that you are living' in an age of peace and 
progress. When you visit from one club to another, or 
from one city to another, it is going to be a peaceful and 
pleasant meeting, and do your part to make everyone 
enjoy himself. 
Remember, it would be selfish to participate in such 
pleasures and enjoyments without the aid of your better 
half and friends, as it is most proper that they should 
be at these gatherings or at the feasts which so often 
follow. The contrast is so different from the hardship 
which their sisters had to endure with the association of 
the field gun years ago, that they should not be with¬ 
out the enjoyment it gives to-day.
