poned.

Mr. J. M. Hawkins was high average for the two days. 
Fairview Gun Club. 
New York, May 5.—On Thursday, May 3, I attended 
the Fairview Gun Club shoot at Fairview, N. J. I was 
very much pleased to see one gentleman who shot as in 
days gone by, with gun below his elbow when he called 
“Pull.” I venture to predict that with little practice he 
will be one of the best clay target shots. After the shoot 
was over, I spoke to this man. He was entered on the 
score as C. S. M., and I said to him, ‘I am very happy 
to meet you, and [ admire your style of shooting.” 
When a man is in the woods he doesn’t walk with his 
gun to his shoulder ready to shoot, does he? I should 
never care to shoot in that style, and I am sure that the 
practice is a poor one in my mind. I trust you will 
give this article a space in your good paper for the 
benefit of trapshooters. ay Su VLD: 
[Trapshooting is quite a different matter from field 
shooting. Indeed, it is not field shooting; nor is there 
any pretension by any trapshooter that the approved 
style of shooting, employed by the trapshooter, is the 
correct style for field shooting. If a man straddles his 
horse when riding on a journey, it does not follow there- 
fore that he should straddle his seat when riding in a 
wagon. He merely adjusts himself in different cases to 
the immediate governing circumstances. Thus it is in 
trapshooting. Thus it is in field shooting. Thus it is in 
duck shooting. Thus it is in almost any specialty, shoot- 
ing or otherwise. It may be said that the trapshooter is 
not obtaining the proper schooling for field shooting. It 
is necessary to show that the trapshooter desires any 
such schooling, or that he could or would go afield 
even if he had it. The material consideration of a purse 
or a share of it in the present overwhelmingly dominates 
hypothetical field work. The man who holds his gun 
below the elbow when target shooting will ever receive 
a hearty welcome, as if he were peaches and cream.]
