THE ONE BALL COMPLAINT.— Editor Forest and Stream: We 

 notice an article in your last issue from "A. C. G.," Pougbkeepsie, N. 

 Y., trying to make a great stress on his experiments with our balls, 

 and seeking to condemn them because they would not in every in- 

 stance break with a single pellet of No. 8 shot at 40yds. We wonder 

 why he did not try the same thing at GOyds. We think that -A. C. G." 

 makes a display of his ignorance, and shows that his expectations 

 are far greater than his realizations when he thinks a ta>get of any 

 kind yet produced should break into atoms with a single pellet of 

 No. 8 shot at 40yds. We know that our balls can easily be broken by 

 a single pellet of No. 8 shot at a reasonable distance, and the repre- 

 sentative trap-shooters of Western New York, from Syracuse to Buf- 

 falo, whose names appear in this issue and scores sh r -w that the balls 

 are all we advertise and more. We will gladly furnish the address of 

 any or all of these gentlemen, that are not beginners in the shooting 

 art, and leave the verdict in their hands regarding the superiority 

 of our target balls. This learned gentleman from Pougrhkeepsie 

 should take the kind advice of the editor of this paper and learn to 

 load a gun, and then learn to shoot it, or else get up the target 

 alluded to "that will break automatically whenever a gun i< pointed 

 at it." Capt. Bogardus and sons, with the Buffalo Bill Wild West; 

 Capt. E. E. Stubbs, of Gainesville, Kan,; Messrs. Butler and Oakley, 

 "premier shots," with Sell's circus, and many others of professional 

 fame, use our balls exclusively for their ball shooting, and that glass 

 must go is a certainty. To kill birds in the field, to kill tbem from 

 the trap, to break clay-pigeons or ball pigeons or target balls of any 

 kind with a single pellet of shot is unreasonable, to put it in its mild- 

 est form.— F. J. Moyer (Secretary Target Ball and Ball Pigeon Co., 

 Lockport, N. Y.). 



LOCKPORT. N. Y., May 25.— Second match of a series of twelve

 drews 11, Howard 13, Whitney 14, E. Moody 12, Moyer 15. G. Moody 15,

 money. 



The fifth contest was a double rise, 5 balls and 5 pigeons: Andrews 



9, Smith 8, Whitney 10, Jewett 6, Pierce 10. E. Moody 10, Howard 8,

SYRACUSE, May 29.— In a shooting contest at the Syracuse Driving 



Park this afternoon, sweepstake prizes were competed for. Follow- 

 ing is the score in the first shoot at 10 glass balls: Morehouse 10, D.
