FOREST AND STREAM 
[Sept, io, 1910. 
Our trapshooting columns this week are short of much 
interesting news matter, due to the fact that an office 
boy. on Tuesday morning, lost a large roll of trap copy 
between Forest and Stream office and the printing of¬ 
fice. This will explain the absence of many scores of 
club shoots and tournaments this week.

Secretary Edwin M. Burr, of Forestville, Conn., writes 
us that the Bristol (Conn.) Gun Club will hold their an¬ 
nual tournament and sheep bake at their grounds in 
East Bristol, on Thursday, Sept. 15. Shooting begins at 
9:30. Total string, 200 targets. Guns and shells may be

sixth and twelfth to be at 25. The management reserves 
the right to omit last two events (40 birds).

From the popular trade representative and expert trap- 
shot, Harold Money, we have received a letter from 
which we take the following: “I am having so many 
inquiries about my plans since I left the Winchester Re¬ 
peating' Arms Company that you might care to let my 
friends know that I am starting on Sept. 15 for the Far 
East to engage in the rubber planting business. I shall 
stop first to visit friends in Ceylon and then go on to 
the Maylay Straits Settlements. You can imagine how 
I hate to leave all the good friends I have made in 
the United States, but financially the prospects ‘in 
Rubber’ are too good to overlook.”

From the Shooting Times the following is clipped. It 
shows that the daily press is much alike the world over in 
respect to its accomplishments on shooting matters: 
"The Daily Chronicle is at it again. Last year, on the 
opening of the partridge shooting season, our contem¬ 
porary came out with the following startling head lines: 
‘The First. Partridges Do Badly, but Pheasants Make 
Good Sport.’ Describing the shoot at the. Isle of Wight, 
at which the King of Spain covered himself with glory 
as a shot, the Chronicle says: ‘On his previous visit to 
the club the King astonished the members by his marks¬ 
manship. If anything, his Majesty has improved as a 
shot, and yesterday, handling the rifle in expert style, 
he completely swept the board in competitions. Little 
imitation birds of clay were brought down with aston¬ 
ishing precision by the Royal sportsman.’ Oh, those 
Fleet street sportsmen.” 
X 
Some extraordinary records were made at the first 
annual grand Chicago handicap, held by the Chicago 
Gun Club, Aug. 30-Sept. 1. Jay . Graham, of Long Lake, 
111., broke 200 straight on the first day, 100 straight on 
the second day and 117 on the third day, making a total 
run of 417 from the 16yd. mark. With 9 on Aug. 29, 
practice day, this brings the total up to 426. The Chicago 
handicap was won by Albert Southard, of Pecatonia, Ill. 
He tied on 94 with Hugh Clark, of L T rbana, Ill., and won 
in the shoot-ofif, 16 to 12. The weather conditions during 
the shoot-off were unfavorable for good scores. In the 
special target event on the last day, W. R. Crosby scored 
50 straight. Joe Barto, Fred Biles and Ed. Graham 
were second with 49 each. Fred. Gilbert and W. Wetleaf 
broke 48. The 47s, 46s and 45s were quite numerous. 
High amateur average was made by J. R. Graham, 495 
out of 500, a 99 per cent, performance. The high pro¬ 
fessional average went to W. R. Crosby, who scored 4S6 
out of 500, a 97.2 per cent, performance.

The Fred Macaulay Business Men’s Gun Club. 
Newark, N. J.—Members of the Fred Macaulay Busi¬ 
ness Men’s Gun Club made high scores at the Speedway 
traps in a strong wind during their weekly shoot, held-on 
Tuesday, Aug. 30. F’ifteen shooters toed' the firing line, 
with nineteen squads, and 1.475 white flyers were shot at. 
Louis Colquitt was high average gun of the day, with 
Harry D. Wethling a close second. The match shoot of 
25 targets between Colquitt and Wethling was won by 
Colquitt, who smashed 24 birds to Wethling’s 23. The 
match between Harry Buchlein and Oscar Gifford was 
won by Buchlein, who broke 12 to Gifford’s 7 out of 25. 
The match between James Quinn and Lloyd McKee was 
won by Quinn, who broke 8 to McKee’s 2. Tbe three- 
cornered match between Dr. F. B. Lane, Dr. F. W. 
Lockwood and A. Mosler was won by Dr. Lane, who 
broke 98 out of a possible 125 targets, while A. Mosler 
was second with 91, and Dr. Lockwood third with 89. 
The double bird match, which was shot between Harry 
Wethling and Fred Macaulay at 24 targets each, was 
Avon by Wethling, with a score of 12 to Macaulay’s S. 
Colquitt and Wethling tried hard time and time again 
to make a perfect score of 25 straight breaks, but it 
seemed impossible, as -the strong wind made the birds 
do some funny stunts, and the best each got was 24 out 
of a possible 25. Wethling did that trick twice in the 
afternoon and Colquitt once. 
The following are the shooters and their scores made

Center and Clinton Counties. 
Allentown, Pa. — At the business men’s picnic of Cen¬ 
ter and Clinton county, a special feature was witnessed of 
several thousand people, the team race of five crack 
shots from each county. Each team shot at 125 targets; 
25 targets per man. and the winning team to receive a 
handsome Remington pump gun. The Centre county 
team won by a score of 97 to 95 out of 125. 
The most interesting feature was the phenomenal score 
made by Capt. P. S. Kift. of the Clinton county team. 
Mr. Kift has the reputation of being a shrewd, keen, all¬ 
round marksman. He broke 14 out of the first 15 tar¬ 
gets, but “hoodooed" 8 of his last 10, thus scoring only 
16 birds out of nis 25. It is not known why the Captain 
laid down on his last 8 targets, but even his best friends 
accused him of selling out. The writer says Kift is too 
honest a sportsman to do any trick of that sort. This 
was Phil’s worst score of the season. lie was completely 
unaccountable for this mishap. Scores: 
Center. Clinton.

The next day, as the sun. coming close to twilight on 
the Hilltop grounds. Lock Haven, Pa., the race of 50' 
targets started for the emblematic silver cup and spoon 
of the L. H. G. C. The spectators were spellbound, 
watching the captain smashing the targets, and just think 
only a day after the business men’s picnic, too. It was 
a great sight. Flis keen eye, his long arms, broad, 
shoulders and pumper were right on them. The Cap¬ 
tain broke 49 out of 50, with a handicap of 8 targets, 
while Mr. Jarshishek broke 48 out of 50 with a handicap 
of 10 targets. You should have seen the Captain smile # 
from under his brim hat. At this gait, the Clinton 
county team would have won the gun easily. The gasp¬ 
ing crowd could not understand the captain’s ability, thus 
winning the splendid cup. The club announced a shoot 
for Labor Day, at which time several prices will, be 
shot for. ' Luddy. 
Independent Gun Club. 
Holmesburg Junction, Pa., Sept. 3.—The beautiful 
punch bowl, donated by that sterling good sportsman, 
Frank M. Eames, has been the esteemed prize in four 
monthly shoots, and was finally won to-day by Charles 
FI. Newcomb, one of Philadelphia’s most skillful trap 
shots. His victory was on an exceedingly narrow 
margin, one point. He scored 7 points to 6 by Boyer, 
Skelly and Wiley. The competition for this beautiful 
prize began in June. The conditions were that high 
gun with handicap added, was credited with 4 points; 
second high, 3; third high, 2; fourth high. 1. Ties were 
credited with the same number of points. Wiley was 
high man on Sept. 3. Skelly was high in August, Sloan 
in July, Plarkins in June. Newcomb’s points were 3 in 
Tune, 2 in July, and 1 in August and September re¬ 
spectively. Several point winners were absent to-day. 
The handicap to-day at 100 targets had twenty-two con¬ 
testants. Wiley scored highest with 98, of which 15 were 
added targets. L. Worthington scored highest on actual 
breaks, 93. The weather was all against good scores. The 
sky was darkly overcast, and a strong east wind made 
erratic target flights.
