Life in a Comer of Yankeeland. By Rowland 
Robinson. Cloth. 187 pages. Price, $1.25. 
The shop itself, the place of business of Uncle Lisha 
Peggs, bootmaker and repairer, was a sort of sportsman’s 
exchange, where, as one of the fraternity expressed it, 
the hunters and fishermen of the widely scattered neigh- 
borhood used to meet of evening and dull outdoor days 
“to swap lies.”

Bergen Beach Gun Club. 
Brooklyn, L. I.—The autumn season was opened by 
a special shoot on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 5, by this 
club. It proved to be an uncomfortable stifling day, with 
a very moderate southwest wind biowing from the No. 1 
position to the center trap. It was a day conducive to 
good scores, but the usual energy of the members was 
lacking until late in the afternoon, when the boys woke 
up and hammered out some creditable scores. 
The thermometer was away up to about 87 degrees, 
and General Humidity was on guard. We were happy 
to see some of the occasionals who find it difficult to 
attend on our regular days. ' 
Our old friend, Charlie Lockwood, motored from 
Jamaica and tried a few. Messrs. Howard and Haney 
were on the job, and Jim Richmond tried out a new, 
high grade, double gun, which will have to have its 
toe clipped and will do better work. Jim scored straight 
in Rochester back in 1893, at his allotment of live birds, 
when the New York County Gun Club brought down 
the Dean Richmond cup with Gus Griefif and Schorty, 
the only time it was won by New York County, in the 
many years of i«s competition. 
Mr. P. J. May, president of the Emerald Gun Club, 
blew in to-day. He prefers to shoot at the real things. 
Charley Stuetzle, now three score and ten, just had to 
visit us, but did not shoot. 
President Bergen had the club traps—experts, Sergent 
system—in beautiful order, but his shooting was poor 
for him, as his reliable pump was out of order and he 
used any double or single that came handy. 
Capt. Dreyer was simply disgusted with the heat and 
didn't care whether he contested or not; but his en¬ 
thusiasm for the future is still on edge, as will be 
noted in the program for our fourth Cosmopolitan cham¬ 
pionship tournament on Columbus Day, Wednesday, 
Oct. 12, when $125 in gold and four trophies will be 
contested for, at a moderate entry, as usual. 
Twenty-nine members faced the traps to-day, and 
exactly 3,700 targets were shot at. No less than sixteen 
straights were made in the 15-target events, Hopkins, 
Medler, Howard, Dalton, Bob Schneider, Dr. Moeller 
and P. R. Long getting one each; Von Boeckntan, Welz¬ 
muller and Vanderveer, two each, and Schorty three. 
In the averages, Long, Hopkins, Vanderveer, Schorty, 
Howard, Welzmuller and Von Boeckman were high in 
the order named. 
Three extra events were shot by a few contestants at 
long rises. One at 22yds., 15 targets each—Morgan 12, 
Schwebke 5, Medler 13, Dr. Welzmuller 13, and Von 
Boeckman 11. One at 25yds. rise, 15 targets, as follows: 
Dalton 12, Schorty 11, Medler 9, Morgan 11, and 
Schwebke 5. The final at 25 targets, 24yds. rise: 
Schwebke 14, Medler 21, Dr. Moeller 17, Long 16, and 
Schorty 24. , 
Sam Short acted as referee and F. R. Schneider 
scored. Fen Bergen had charge of the commissary de¬ 
partment. 
The club traps are now open every Saturday at I P. 
M. until July 1, 1911. Scores of to-day are as follows:
