EDITOR AMERICAN FIELD: -At noon on February 14 the Phil Daly Live Bird Tournament began on the grounds adjoining the Pennsylvania Club House, at Long Branch. It was a beautiful day overhead, the sun was warm and bright, with a gentle breeze from the west. The birds were only and ordinary lot and it took a good deal of scaring to start some of them. The conditions were to shoot at 50 birds each, handicap rise, hunder Hurlingam rules, except that the caliber of the gun must not be larger than ten-bore, and the weight not exceed ten pounds. To first, $1,000; to second, $300; to third $200. The entried closed February 13 at noon, and were composed of the following names: Geo. Cubbley, Long Branch, N.J.; Miss Annie Oakley, Wild West Troupe; Wm. Lever, Newark, N.J.; W. D. Campbell, Long Branch; E.D. Miller, New York; W. C. Price, Long Branch N.J.; H. C. White, Red Bank, N.J.; C. S. Werstner, Baltimore, Md; James Tompson, New York; Frank Kleintx, Philadelphia, Pa; L. B. Campbell, Little SIlver, N. J.; J. R. Melone, Baltimore, Md; Fred Erb, Jr., Lafayetter, Ind.; H. Belzer, Fistbush, N. Y. ; W. Grahan, England; J. Van Dike, Long Branch; H. Seigler, New York; J. R. Stice, Jacksonville, Ill.; J. A. Willair, Baltimore, Md.; P. Daly, Jr., Long Branch, N. J. ; C. W. Budd, Des Moines, Ia. The wood poweders were used by most sportsmen in the big shoot, the American Wood predominating. H. C. White, C. S. Wertsner, L. B. Campbell and J. A. Willair used black powder in both barrels. "Al" Heristage, of Jersey City, was a referee; Andy Coleman, of Red Bank, scorer. At 4:45 o'clock twenty birds had been shot at by each man and the shooting stopped, to be resumed again Wednesday morning at 9:30. On Wednesday, February 15, the shooting was continued in a gale of wind from the north, with intense cold. The birds were a much better lot than those of yesterday and with the help of the strong wind carried many out of bounds to fall dead, and made the shooting much more difficult. J.R. Stice used his old Parker gun, and Miss Oakley shot her twelve-gauge Lancaster. Miss Oakley and Mr. Daly had $250 a side up as to who would kill the greater nuber of birds out of fifty, Miss Oakley winning by four birds.
