CONNECTICUT MARKSMEN.— Practice of the Connecticut Mil- 

 itia will extend from May 1 to October 31, and the new orders make 

 some important modifications of existing rules. Any position with- 

 out artificial rest, may be taken at the mid-range targets. The men 

 are to be divided into three classes instead of two as heretofore. Hereto- 

 fore all members making 50 percent, of thepossible score were called 

 "marksmen," and those making 81 per cent, were termed "sharp- 

 shooters," but the new division gives members making 52 p»r cent, 

 of the possible score at 200 and 500yds. a title of "marksman" and 

 those making 66 percent, are termed "first chv-s marksmen," and 

 those making 80 per cent, to be "sharpshooters." All contestants 

 must previously have qualified in the lower grades. 



In addition to the honorary members, there Shall be four classes of 

 members of this club, to be determined by the governing committee 

 and depending Upon i he residence of the members, viz: 



First Class— r l he "city members," who live in the city or immedi- 

 ately adjoining, and who expect to avail themselves dally of the Club 

 rooms, privileges, ere. 



Second Class.— The "suburban members," who live in the suburbs 

 Of the city, outside of corporate limits and withiu 25 mile* of the city, 

 and who therefore do not expect to avail themselves daily of the club 

 T*)t*i vilp££fl. 



Third Class.— Tbe "distant members," who reside beyond 85 miles 

 from and within 100 miles of the city, and who occasionally desire to 

 avail themselves of the club privileges. 



Fourth Class .— AU members residing beyond 100 miles from the 

 city 



An approximate estimate will be made of the anuual expense, and 

 divided among the club members lu the following ratio: 



First class. 5 (annual dues guaranteed not over $5). 



Second class, 3 (annual dues guaranteed not over $8). 



third class, 8 (annual dues guaranteed not over $2), 



Fourth class, 1 (annual dues guaranteed not over $1). 



In other words, the annual dues may be less than the latter amounts, 

 but they shall not be more. 



When the Board of Directors of the National Gun Association have 

 ascertained, by direct correspondence, that sufficient club members 

 have bee.u obtained whose annual dues, at the above rate, would meet 

 tbe above-mentioned expense, then they Will call a meeting of said 

 members for the election of officers, the renting of grounds, the ap- 

 pointment of a salaried secretary, etc., after which meeting theabove 

 pro rata annual dues shall begin, payable semiannually, in advance. 



Upon becoming a member of tbe National Gun Association, the 

 secretary of the latter will assign the same to one of the above clubs, 

 or where a member is distant from all the centers, he is requested to 

 state as to which of the clubs he prefers to be assigned. 



THE TRAP. 



Correspondents who favor -its with club scores are particularly n • 

 guested to write on one side of the paper only. 



THE NATIONAL GUN ASSOCIATION. 



THE board of directors of the Association has spent no small 

 thought on the question of how best to bring the more distant 

 and at present .unas-ociated shooters into intimate action with the 

 main body. "With tbe view of centralizing the friendly rivalry be- 

 tween the most distant members of the Association it is proposed, in 

 the. course of time, to divide the latter geographically into a number 

 of divisions or sections, with the principal cities as the centers, where 

 the principal offices of the gun clubs shall be established, and to, at 

 least one of which, each member of the Association may be assigned, 

 th .t is, with which he shall be entitled to shoot and to assist gener- 

 ally in carrying out the main objects of the Association. 



It is proposed to name these clubs after the prominent Indian 

 tribes, who originally frequented the respective localities, or other 

 local names. 



Until further notice the members will be divided into five divisions 

 or tribes, with centers and names as follows, respectively: 



New York city, the Manhattan Gun Club: Chicago, the Wyandotte 

 Gun Club: Cincinnati, the. Miami (iun Club: Nashville, the Choctaw 

 Gun Club; San Francisco, the Modoc Gun Club. 



As the number of members of the association in the vicinity of 

 other cities- increases, additional clubs will be formed, with the main 

 office in said cities. 



In the course of time it is proposed that these clubs shall rent shoot- 

 ing grounds, maintain an office and employ a salaried secretary or 

 manager, whose duties shall be those usually pertaining to this office, 

 and in addition shall assist and encourage those whose duty it is to 

 enforce the game laws in their respective sections. This shall be done 

 only when the number of members of each club shall be sufficiently 

 large so as to justify the expense, which must be secured from the 

 extra annual aues of club members, and various items of profit, such 

 as sales of pigeons, admission fees to grounds of non members, etc. 



No inemoer of the National Gun Association is obliged to join either 

 one of these clubs; it shall be entirely optional; it being understood 

 moreover, that nothing contained in this prospectus shall derogate 

 in any way from the rights and privileges of member of the National 

 Gun Association as set forth in the constitution, by-laws and rules of 

 said association, 

 kin order that the above elub expenses may be equitably divided 



THE SPRINGFIELD TOURNAMENT. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Kindly permit me to inform your numerous readers that prepara- 

 tions are now completed for making our First Inter-State Tourna- 

 ment at Springfield. O.. Mav 5 to 9. ooe of the most inviting occa- 

 sions of this kind ©f this season. The ground cannot be excelled for 

 the purpose— few climates can he compared to that of Springfield in 

 May=-4L50 to $2.50 per day secures goo.l board and lodging; reduced 

 railroad fares have been promised on routes centering at Spring- 

 field. A large attendance is expected, not only of the best shots, 

 but also of the medium shots, as the handicap rules will enable the 

 latter to successfully compete with the former. 



This issue of youi* valuable paper is the final one before the tourna- 

 ment : hence, we desire especially to call the attention of those who 

 do not shoot at the trap to the meeting of the members on the even- 

 ing of May 4, 8 p. in., at the Arcade Hotel, for the general discussion 

 of toe affairs of the association. We especially invite the presence 

 of such with the hope that their suggestions may enable us suitably 

 to provide for other objects than that pertaining to the trap. Com- 

 mittees of various kinds will he appointed. Future tournaments 

 will be decided Upon. . -, 



Orders have been issued for 20,000 clay pigeons and 4,000 live 

 pigeons. There will be three trap-stands for the former and two for 

 the latter. The working of the association rules will receive a thor- 

 ovgh test, the criticisms of all comers being invited to assist therein. 

 The Springfield "Big Six" brass band will enliven the daily pro- 

 gramme with suitable music. 



Refreshments will be provided on the grounds (but no hquor can 

 be sold thereon) under the directions of the association.

REVOLVER SHOOTING. 



Editor Forest and Streo. m ; 



I cannot now tell you when, but I remember that a year ago, more 

 or less, I advocated the use of the .33-cal. extra short rim-fire car- 

 tridges for revolvers. In Forest and Streak, March 12, your corres- 

 pondent "Paddle" agrees with me. and though I have carefully read 

 all that you have published on this subject, yet "I'addle" is the only 

 one of your correspondents who thinks seemingly as I do on revolver 

 shooting. 



Whatis a revolver to be used for? Do you waut it to carry, through 

 a3in. barrel, a Winchester rifle cartridge, model 1873 and 44-cal? Do 

 you waut to be able to kill a man at 500yds., if you can hit him? Do 

 you expect to engage in conflicts with grizzlies, lions, tigers "and 

 chimeras dire?" If not, of what use is such a weapon? Who will 

 answer? 



Let me quote from "Paddle;" he says: "I use the extra short rim- 

 fire cartridge which gives perfect satisfaction. It will not penetrate 

 tiiirteen inches into a pile of pine boards, but this does not affect my 

 peace of mind. It will go through a rabbit at 30yds. and is powerful 

 enough for anything ordinary. With this cartridge revolver shoot- 

 ing becomes a pleasant pastime without the bang and kick of the 

 heavier charge." "01 excellent young man." My idea regarding a 

 revolver is that the cylinder should be arranged with reference to 

 the cartridge used. There is no revolver, to my knowledge, that 

 does this. In everyone there is a jump from the point where the 

 ba'lhas been seated into the barrel proper. My ideal revolver is of 

 same weight as old Smith and Wesson .32, but with cylinder shortened 

 to just admit a .32 extra short rim-fire (or central fire when so 

 ordered) but the mode of locking the barrel changed to the Smith 

 and Wesson new model style. The barrel could be 7in. instead of 6, 

 as in their old model. The cylinder should be so bored that the 

 bullet from its very start would be confined in a tight chamber, and 

 the single barrel should be bored of exactly the same bench size as 

 the muzzle of the cylinder. In other words there should be no jump 

 at all. The trigger should have a guard, etc, and not be sunk in a 

 mere projection from the weapon. The .32 extra short might be 

 made with an enlongated bullet. 



The advantages I claim for such a weapon are increased accuracy, 

 comfort to the shooter and safety to others. A .32 extra short will 

 not carry more than 250yds, I have tried them on water. Any 

 person can tell whether "he will probably shoot somebody or some- 

 thing unintentionally with only that distance possible. Amateur. 



Somerset, Pa., 



SEATTLE, W. T.. April 16.— The Rod and Gun Club of Seattle held
