WILL NOT BREAK WITH ONE SHOT.— Poughkeepsie, May 2.— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: Some time ago I noticed an advertise- 

 ment in Forest and Stream of the Target Ball & Pigeon Co. of Stock- 

 port, N. Y., saying: that their target balls were far superior to glass 

 balls, were no injury to the finest lawns, and were sure to break if 

 struck by a single pellet of No. 8 shot, and much more to the same 

 effect. We tried the balls several times, and it was very seldom that 

 a ball would break if struck by no mure than one or two No. 8 shot. 

 In fact we were constantly picking up balls with one, two or three 

 holes in them. We hung one up on a stick at 40yds. and shot at it, 

 and it took three charges to break it, each time putting one shot 

 through. We repeated this several times and found that it was al- 

 most impossible to break these balls with one pellet. A good compo- 

 sition ball would be a great thing, as almost all farmers and owners 

 have objections to broken glass on their land.— A. C. G. [The remedy 

 is to load or hold the gun better. The only ball that will suit every- 

 body will be one that can stand all kinds of rough handling, but will 

 break automatically when a gun is pointed at it.]

BELLEVILLE, Ont., May 21.— The first contest for the possession 

 of the champion badge of the Sportsman's Club, which is to be won 

 three times before it becomes the property of any one. took place to- 

 day on the rifle ranges. Six competitors came to the front, and when 

 the contest opened a number of spectators were present. The condi- 

 tions were: Card trap rotating, 18yds., 15 glass balls each. While the 

 score was being recorded it was plain to be seen that the contest for 

 the trophy lay between Prof. Bell, his son R. S. Bell and John N. 

 Pringle. Mr. R. S. Bell, first vice-president of the club, led the score 

 and captured the prize. Prof. Bell, for a gentleman of his years (73) 

 did remarkably well. Appended is the score of the leaders :
