Eilrtor F(n-est and Stream: 



I noticed in yovr report of tlie Creedmoor incetins that there 

 was talk of establisliing a rifle ranpe at Stn teii Lsland. 1 was in 

 attendanee at the raTii^-e and heard .such conversation much to my 

 gratiflcation, and I hope the matter \vill not end in talk but that 

 the project will meet wi Ih »nc]\ favor taiiong riflemen as to 

 result in the establi.'^hriieHt of j' rauise williiu easx' licce.ss of the 

 city. I believe if a ranpre could he cHtabliwhed at Staten Island or 

 nearby that the intej-oat in t his spurl would he greatly a.uguiciitcd. 

 i judge from niy o\\ n. experience; and lind it impotr.sible to ro to 

 Creedmoor owing to 1he time occupied in j-retting- (here, and tliisis 

 the case witl] f(nir other scntlemen who with myself compose a 

 club, we find it incon\-enient to t;o to Ch'eedmoor and have for the 

 past year met on a farm near the city; thin is pleasant for us, but 

 it prevents association with oilier riflemen and the furtliorance of 

 mutual frendsliip and interest whicli the sport needs. 



I trust riflemen of thtsT^ity will take up this matter and "push" 

 it, and I am sure the result will be gratifying to all lovers of the 

 rifle. Shooter. 



New York, Sept. S4. 



THE ARMY COMPETITIONS. 



AT Fort LeaA'cnworth. l<.as., is just now collected the cream of 

 the U. S. A. so Tar as marksmanship is concerned. For two 

 months past the ,army has been undergoing asortof nafur.al selec- 

 tion. Companies and I'egiments have been making up teams; they 

 in turn ]ui\-e piished out the weaker men until Department teams 

 were made up, and tlvey in tui'n ha\"c been reduced by the same 

 s'/stem of selectioR into Division teams, and these are now in ren- 

 dezvous at Fort Leavenworth to fight for the final lionors and 

 make up the otic army team of real chauji>ions. 



The annexed summaries give the totals made by the team men 

 of the three Division teams. In the known distance work, the 

 scoring is at iOO, 300, 500 and (100yds., 10 shots eaeli, making a possi- 

 ble total of 200. Tliis is repeaied on eacli of two days. Tke skirm- 

 ish firing is done from 000yds. toward the target, and in retreat 

 until forty rounds ha. , e been exhausted. The Aiiity awl Nafji 

 Reiiisicr. speaking of the coming tests under the persona.] direc- 

 tion of Col. S. E. Bltmt, Inspector of Riflo Practice for the Army, 

 says: 



"The competitions of this year possess unusual interest because 

 of the modified and new regulations. First, restricting to the 

 fortieth number of cartridges allowed to be expended per man per 

 run in skirmish firing, and second, because of the use of skirmish 

 targets, iron skeleton frames covered with cloth and dark-colored 

 paper cut as silhouettes, tilted to the shape of the frames, repre- 

 senting a man in the firing position either standing, kneeling or 

 lying prone. Formerly tliere was no limitation as to the number 

 of cartridges permitted and the scores were determined by the 

 number of bits made on the target. Formeidy the presumed rela- 

 tive excellence of marksmanship between competitors firing, per- 

 haps a diflferent number of shots was expressed by the sum of the 

 values of hits and not by the per cent. Complaint was made that 

 by this method undue prominence was given to mere rapidity of 

 fire and not enough to accuracy. The method was trained by those 

 who, by reason ot middle age or habitual d^beration in firing, 

 could not average as many shots as the younger, or more nimble, 

 or more dextrous, the "unlimited celerity fire method" and many 

 expressed themseh'e.s as discou raged, being hopeless in competition 

 with the "human gatling guns." In ill ustration of this rapidity of 

 fire, it is but necessary to cite one or two cases. Lieut. Handfortli 

 last year scored 322, liriug 61 shots in one ruTi. Sergt. King, 13th 

 Infa.ntry, has made 10 hits in one-half ox 1.5 seconds. Sergt. Craw, 

 20th Infantry, has flred 12 shots in 1.5 seconds. It is the opinion ot 

 many that the new method gives more general satisfaction because 

 securing an equal competition, fair alike to aU. It aifords a 

 method of determining the relative excellence of marksmanship 

 by per cent."

LUBRICANTS, 



Editoj' Forest and Stream: 



I have been much interested lately in the reports of rifle shoot- 

 ing where wonderful good scores were made without wiping the 

 gun after each shot. Jir. K. AVertheimer in his letter published in 

 your paper of Sept. 9 tells of the wonderfid shooting of his Ballard 

 fechuetzen Rifle and of his own srccess last August. He says 

 the last 120 shots were fired without wiping or cleaning the gun, 

 and from the total nimiber of shots fired I judge he did not have 

 time to clean it many times that day. If Mr. AV. will tell through 

 the columns of y^our paper liow he managed to get such good re- 

 sults from lubricated bullets, tlie sort of bullet used, manner of 

 lubricating it, kind of lubricant, etc., ^ am sm-e it will be interest- 

 ing reading to many^, wlio like myself, have always supposed the 

 finest shooting could be done only ^^^th a patched bullet and a 

 clean gun. I have tried naked bullets of various sizes in both 

 Sharps and Ballard rifles, witli plain tallov,', and ^vit.h different 

 mlxtm-es of ta.l]ow and bees\\-ax for lubricant, and have used (he 

 factory bullets that come already greased. These last do very 

 good work, hut I have not succeeded in doing as good .shont ing 

 Math any of thern as with the patched bullet. I woidd lilic to l^noAv 

 what tlie experience of others has been. Certainly target shoot- 

 ing would be more enjoyable if the infei-nal amoimt of scruhbing 

 that usually has to be done between .shots could be dispensed ^vith 

 and as good work be done, and if it can I want to know how.

 mington Rifle Club went to Greenbank this afternoon for its first 

 practice at mid-range shooting, Creedmoor second-class target,

 bullseyes, or 33 points out of possible 36, thus earning as well as 

 winning the idfle. 



The match with the West Chester Rifle Team was then opened. 

 It was soon apparent that the AVest Chester boys were not in their 

 usual good condition for shooting, for the AA^ilmington team led on 

 every round from the start, and finally -won by a good margin, 

 which was materially aided by the unusually fine shooting ot 

 Heinel and Bell. The conditions of the match were: jSIassachu- 

 setts target, 200yds. off-hand. The following is the score out of in- 

 dividual possible 120 points, and team possible 480:

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19.— The annual prize shooting of the 

 San Francisco Turner-Schuetzen took place at Harbor View to-day. 

 About thirty of the members of the company spent the entire day 

 at the shooting butts. The shooting was managed by C. K. Zim'- 

 mer, captain of the company. A. Strecker, Philo Jacoby, Mr. 

 Ehrenpfort and other expert shots contested for the various cash 

 prizes, amounting to $154. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon a great 

 shout and repeated cheers from the shooting stand announced that 

 something unusual had occru-red. It appears that early in the day^ 

 Strecker had mad 94 points out of a possible 100, which was within 

 one point of the best score ever made in the world of which there 

 is any knowni record. In the afternoon he made 97 points, and this 

 feat set the whole crowd wild with enthusiasm. 



The San Francisco Schuetzen A'eerein also had their monthly 

 medal shoot at the Shell Mound Range. Twenty^ shots each eord- 

 petitor, at 200yds., were allowed, at 25 ring target. In the first 

 class K. Wertbeimer proved the medal winner with 421 points, 

 while in the second and third classes Lieut. A. Browning and 



John Plath took first honors, with scores of 362 and 368 respect- 



\v<.}ly. In the fourth class John Broyer received the medal with 

 197 points, a7i<l as tliis is the third occasion on wliich ho has won 

 it, flic pri/.e liecomes ]]is absolute property. 



Capt. J. E, Klein, of t he National Shooting Club, states that the 

 match between Ins clulj and the Carson City Guards has fallen 

 through for the present. Ttie coralitions originally agreed upon 

 were that ten men from each compiany should shoot at 200 and 

 ■500yds., 10 shots at each range, but the Carson City Guards wish 

 now to have thirty men on each side and shoot 200yds. only. To 

 this Capt. Klein objects unless the original programme is carried 

 out first, so that for the present tlie match is off. P. E.Robert- 

 son, of Co. O, First Infa.nti'v, made 47 and 46 in shooting a double 

 strinu- of m shots at 500yds. ' O. H. AVescott, late of the Marysville 

 Shooting.Cltib, scored 40 at 200 and 45 at .500yds.

THE SAVANNAH TOURNAMENT.

Chatham and Millen divided first, Forest City took second. De- 

 Loach, of the Millen team, was the only one to make a full score 

 of 10 on single birds. Crawford, of Tallahasse, Roach and McAl- 

 pin, of the Chathams, Sancken, of Augusta, and Williams, of the 

 Forest Citys each made a score of 9 on doubles. 



The next match was tmnsu.ally interesting, as it was a contest 

 between the Tallahassees to retain the championship medal ,wlaich 

 they have held for some time, and the Chathams to take it from 

 them if possible. Each team went in determined to win and 

 there was some good shooting on both sides. The Chathams led 

 olT with the splendid score of 75 out of a possible 100, which the 

 Floi-idians failed to reach, thus giving the medal to the Chathams.

No sooner was it decided that the Chathams had won the medal 

 than they received a challenge from the Milton team to shoot for 

 it. The challenge was accepted, though protest was made at the 

 time by the Forest City. The Chathams again led off, beating 

 their record in the contest with the Tallahassees by two points, 

 and running up a good total of 77, winning the medal on tins score. 

 The Millen team did some good shooting, and for some time before 

 they finished it looked as though they were the coming champions, 

 but their totals footed up only 73, thus lea^dng the Chathams for 

 a second time the winners of the medal:

COIvKECTlCUT.— Meriden, Conn.— Trap shooting is on the in- 

 crease here judging from the number of shoots that have taken 

 place recently and more to come. At the tournament of the New 

 Ha\'en Gun Club, Sept. 21, the guaranteed purse of $20 first money 

 was won by C. H. Sterry, of Tolland. The .shoot at South Man-
