Portland, July 25, 1874. 
Editor Forest and Stream:— 
The Androscoggin Sporting Club of Lewiston, by their 
Secretary, Geo. Andrews, Esq., have sent to the various 
clubs in the State a circular proposing a State tournament, 
of which the following are the chief items: State Pigeon 
Shoot, by and under the direction of the Androscoggin 
Sporting Club; open to members of organized clubs in the 
State only. First xn’ize—a diamond badge, valued as $100, 
and the championship of the State. Second prize—an ele¬ 
gant fly-rod, presented by members of the Androscoggin 
Sporting Club. Third prize— a Smith & Wesson revolver, 
presented by C. F. Nason, Esq. The diamond badge to be 
accounted for to the A. S. Club, and held in trust by the 
winning club and a similar shoot provided by them an¬ 
nually till the badge be final!v disposed of. The badge to 
become the property of a club must be won three times by 
that club. The other prizes to become the property of the 
winner. Five or more members to enter from each club. 
Entrance fee,, five dollars per member. To shoot at fifteen 
single birds each. Androscoggin Sporting Club rules, as 
amended, to govern. In case of ties, the highest prize tied 
on to be shot off by those tied; then the next highest tied 
for, by the next highest set of ties, and so on. The charge 
of shot to be measured on the ground for muzzle-loaders, 
and shells to be sampled and examined. 
If the proposition of the Lewiston sportsmen is as well 
responded to from other parts of the State as it will be 
from this chy, there can be no doubt of its most dis¬ 
tinguished success. Some of our sportsmen have been 
having fair luck with the woodcock, but the general result 
of our first year’s “ legal shooting in July” seems to be a 
decided opinion that, taking all together, it is far below 
September and October. A rather unusual circumstance 
came to my knowledge lately. A gentleman belonging to 
the Forest City Club, returning from a rather unsuccessful 
day’s tramp through the “ Covers,” while passing near a 
cow yard attached to a barn, put up a pair of fine wood¬ 
cock "and secured them both with a single barrel. Bay 
snipe have put in an appearance, and trout are “ too nu¬ 
merous to mention.” In fact, as an enthusiastic angler 
exclaimed the other day, “fish are biting this year that 
never bit before in their lives.” 
Yours, v F. W. S. 
Kennicott Club, I 
Chicago, Ill., July 25th, 1874. f 
Editor Fouest and Stream.— 
At a meeting of the Kennicott Club, held on the 21st instant, the fol¬ 
lowing resolution was adopted: 
liesolveci. That our challenge issued in May last to any and all clubs 
in this State to shoot a match of ten men a side, at 10 single birds and 5 
dodble rises each for the birds, be re-published, and the fact stated that 
the challenge had expired by limitation without an acceptance; therefore 
we extend the time thirty days from date, and the said match to be shot 
within thirty days after acceptance. 
Joed A. Kinney, Secretary.

the date of our last issue by various regiments. On Tuesday

'member was put under military arrest. The following

It was noticeable that Col. McLeer who had lost his 
left arm in action, made a score of fifteen at both ranges, 
and that Major Schwrig, who had lost his right arm at the 
battle of the Wilderness, made nine at 200 yards, both of¬ 
ficers shooting wdthout artificial rest.

shoot with the Irishmen, took place at Creedmoor on Wed¬ 
nesday the 22d.

Remington earbines being used quite efficiently.

manding, tried their skill at Creedmoor on the 23d. The

—The Ninety-sixth regiment, Colonel Stauf, were at 
Creedmoor on Monday, July 27th. We append the score 
made by the best twelve. The shooting seems quite above 
the average, hut may he accounted for by a great deal of 
irregularity. Many of the members of the regiment used 
the stakes driven in the ground to indicate the distances as 
rests for their pieces. • It is a pity that the absolute rules of 
the range, or the commands of the officers in charge, are 
not always obeyed by our citizen soldiers:—

The first prize was awarded to J. Perkins. (In shooting off for second 
prize V. Kindler’s sixth bird was apparently not hit, but was shot by an¬ 
other party before leaving the bounds, upon which Mr. K. was allowed 
another bird. Mr. Garwood, not thinking the decision of the referee a 
fair one, objected to shooting off another time with Kindler, and gave 
him his right to second prize, but Kindler would not accept of it without 
heiRg fairly won, thus leaving the second prize undecided.) The third 
prize was awarded to C. Kibbee. 
Please say if you think the referee’s decision was correct in allowing 
Kindler another bird. Tours truly, C. D.T.
