fourth series on the above date and have only two more

season’s shooting. The main supporters of our club 
will be reminded of their. efforts by some sort of a

able trophies, we sincerely regret that we have not a few 
more to distribute among the faithful ones. We were 
very glad to again include Dr. Huff among our num- 
ber, and while we could not favor him with a fine day, 
we kept him busy hunting the birds. i :

New York Athletic Club. 
Travers Istanp, N. Y., Nov. 2.—The raw rainy weather 
was not an encouragement to a good attendance; yet 
there were enough contestants to make good competition. 
The wind drove the rain in the faces of the shooters when 
they were at the score, hence the conditions were dif- 
ficult. 
The first leg on the November cup was won by Mr. R. 
Hall with a score of 38 out of 50. The scores:

New Jersey State Championship Trophy. 
Newark, N. J., Nov. 1.—Mr, J. T. Skelly, manager 
sporting powder division, Dupont’ Powder Co., of Wil- 
mington, Del., has referred us to reference tothe 
you in 
history of the Original N. J. Sta 







B championship live 
bird trophy as was presented to the Sportsmen’s Asso- 
ciation of New Jersey some time previous to 1878. This 
was the original State team championship live bird cup 
which outlived the entire life of live bird shooting, from 
1875 to 1902. The cup referred to has again been started 
into circulation as the New Jersey championship State 
team cup for artificial targeting We have this cup in 
our window on exhibition. It is to be shot for the first 
time in the history of its new life, at the South Side 
Gun Club, on Dec. 6 and 7. Any information that vou 
can give us regarding the hist th cup would be 
very much appreciated by the public and also 
by the entire committee of this tournament, of which the 
writer is chairman.

[We think that a record of the trophy contests does not 
exist. When the ettempt was made to reorganize th« 
New Jersey State Sportsmen’s Association at a meeting 
held on May 19, 1897, no one knew where the club rec- 
ords were. Even then all pertaining to the club’s officiz 
history seemed to be lost in the darkness of the past 
\t that time, the trophy in question was in the posses- 
sion of Mr. W. Fred Quimby, who generously offered te 
present it to any properly constituted State organization. 
\s the records of the contests were infrequently pub- 
lished, we have but few records of them. However, we 

think that, if Mr. Good cares to apply to Capt. A. W. 
Money and Messrs. W. Fred Ouimby, Ce R. Wise, J 
von Lengerke, Al. Heritage, Isaac H. ll, Marshall 
Herrington, all of whom were active in matters of tl 
Association, we feel certain that the lost history could be 
found.]

set, of th Pennsylvania State shoot and the Grand

preciated.
