Hints for Canoeists. 



Editor Forest cmd Stream: 



The following simple suggestions may prove useful to some fellow 

 canoeists: 



1. An old bayonet makes the best camp candlestick, a good poker 

 and a good tent peg. 



2, Butter will keep, and is easily carried, when packed in sausage 

 Bkins; a half pound to a link. Your butcher will do the packing for 

 you. 



3 Dry toast is better than stale b ead. 



4. A sheet of unbleached muslin, 9ft. X7ft., waterproofed in lime and 

 alum water, takes but little room in the knapsack, and is good for a 

 shelter tent, a tent awning, or a floor cloth. 



5. Vaseline rubbed on the hands and face before going out for the 

 first day in the sun prevents blistering of the skin from sunburn. 

 Keep applying it as it wears off. Canoe Lorna. 



Lieut. Coulston are both F. R. P., one of the Twenty -third N. G. S. N. 

 Y , the other of the First Infantry M. V. M. 



"Let me know if Mr. Petty will wait till September; if not we will 

 come any time in August he may name. Please communicate with 

 Lieut Coulston, for at the lime my attempt to get a match with Mr. 

 Petty failed T wrote you I would shoot Lieut. Coulston instead at any 

 reasonable time, place and conditions which he might name. I never 

 got any reply from either him or you," "Sumner Paine," 



A. C. A. Membership. 



The National Schuetzenbund. 



The formal opening of the National Schtitzenbund of the United 

 States of America took place at 8 A. M. on June 30. At that hour the 

 gates of Glendale Park, L. I., were thrown open and a score of bands 

 poured forth the inspiriting strains of "Die Wacbt am Rhein." The 

 greatest meeting of German sharpshooters ever held in this country, 

 was thus inaugurated. 



The contestants came from all parts of the United States: from 

 Maine and from the Pacific Slope; from the citie.3 that line the shores 

 of the great lakes and from those whose homes look out upon the 

 waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Marksmen were also present who claim 

 Germany, Austria and Hungary as their home. It is a great meeting, 

 and those who are taking part in it are enjoying themselves thorough- 

 ly, the local management apparently having left no stone unturned 

 to render this the most successful and the most enjoyable Schutzenfest 

 ever held 



The official programme arranged for the ten days devoted to the 

 Schutzenfest is as follows: 



Saturday, June 29, at 8 P. M., commers in hcnor of the visiting 

 marksmen, at Central Opera house, Third avenue and Sixty-seventn 

 street, New York. 



Sunday, June 30, beginning of the prize shooting and bowling 

 tournament at Glendale Park, games and popular amusements during 

 the day, and distribution of prizes in the evening. 



Monday, July 1, parade, opening of the contest at the Columbia 

 target, first shot to be tired by President Cleveland. 



Tuesday, July 2, designated at Volksfest-vereins day, Reception 

 of visiting organizations, popular amusements as on every succeeding 

 day, and distribution of prizes in the evening. 



Wednesday, July 3, known as veterans' day. 



Thursday, July 4, national holiday; salute of 119 gun-shots and fire- 

 works in the evening. 



Friday, July 5, bowlers' day; bowling tournament and distribution 

 of prizes. 



Saturday, July 6, gymnasts' day; great gymnastic and calisthenic 

 exhibition and contests for prizes. 



Sunday, July 7, singers' day; chorus en masse by the United Singers 

 of Brooklyn and New York. 



Monday, July 8, distribution of prizes and proclamation of the 

 '•king" of the festival. 



The officers of the National Sharpshooters' Union are: William V. 

 Weber, of the Independent New York Schuetzen Corps, President; 

 Lorenz Zeller, Henry Offermann, Adolph Richter and Christian D. 

 Kehm, Vice-Presidents; Fritz Baumann, Recording Secretary; Charles 

 I, Roedel, Corresponding Secretary; Henry J. Behrens. Financial Sec- 

 retary; George H. Wehrenberg, Treasurer; Bernard Walter, Gebhard 

 Krauss and William Hayes, Shooting Masters; Frederick Cook, Robert 

 Henke, Otto Nehlein, Frederick Erxmeyer and George H. Frederichs, 

 Trustees. 



The charter societies of the National Sharpshooters' Union are the 

 Independent New York Schuetzen Corps, the New York Sehuetzen 

 Cuirps, the New York Central Corps, the New York City Corps, the 

 Harlem Independent Corps, the Zettler Rifle Club, the Williamsburg 

 Schuetzen Gesellschaft, the New York Schuetzen Gilde, the Newark 

 Schuetzen Gesellschaft, the Hoboken Corps, the Hoboken Independent 

 Corps, the German-American Sehuetzen Gesellschaft, the Brooklyn 

 Schuetzen Corps and other local marksmen's clubs, the Miller Rifle 

 Club, the Turtle Bay Schuetzen Corps, the Luetzo w Rifle Club, the Em- 

 pire Rifle Ciub, the Philadelphia Schuetzen Verein, and about a dozen 

 clubs from Jersey City, Passaic, Hartford, Springfield, Cincinnati, St. 

 Louis and San Francisco. 



Notwithstanding the heavy downpour that took place on Saturday 

 evening, Koenig's G endale Schuetzen Park, or ttlendale Park for 

 Bhort, presented a very gay appearance. Banting, hundreds of yards 

 of it, put a genuine holiday look on every portion of the park. It is a 

 holiday, a German holiday, and the Germans know how to enjoy . 

 themselves. The park contains at present about all the devices known 

 which help to make a day enjoyable to everybody that is capable of 

 being amused or interested. Bowlers, as well as riflemen, are decid- 

 edly in it. 



No really serious shooting was done on Sunday, June 30, although 

 many thousands of bullets sped over the ranges and spread them : 

 selves on the targets, Gus Zimmerman, of course, was present and 

 was the center of attraction wherever he went. A. Strecber, a mem- 

 ber of the Columbia Rifle Club, of San Francisco, showed that he had 

 not traversed the 3,000 miles which lie between 'Frisco and Glendale 

 Park for nothing. His scores on the man target and on the ring tar- 

 get astonished the Easterners and correspondingly elated those from 

 the West. Mr. Strecher will take a prominent part in what promises 

 to be one of the features of the week's sport: a match of 100 shots 

 each between George Helm, of the same club (the Columbia), and 

 himself on the one side, and F. C. Ross and M. Dorrler, of the Zettler 

 Rifle Club, New York city, on the other side. 



On Sunday Gebhard Krauss, one of the shooting masters of the 

 Union, was the fortunate man to make the first 25 points and also the 

 first 125. His margin was a narrow one, as 90 seconds later a second 

 shooter had duplicated his record, and within five minutes from the 

 time he finished six more similar scores were recorded. All received 

 medals, but Krauss's was the one that all had tried to get. 



Monday morning's parade was a decided success, nearly 5,000 men 

 Deing in line, among the number being a corps of veterans of the war 

 of '70-'71, in which they took an active part in upholding the honor of 

 the flag of Fatherland, It is impossible to particularize any further, 

 or to give any detailed account of the different societies that were 

 represented in the parade; but it is also impossible to pass on without 

 referring to the appearance of the Independent Schuetzen Corps, of 

 Brooklyn, N. Y., whose ranks were led by Miss Clara Bonne, attired 

 •in peasant costume. Mayor Schieren, of Brooklyn, N. Y., supported 

 by Mayor Wanser, of Jersey City, N. J., and Mayor Fagan, of Hobo- 

 ken, N. J., Sheriff Tamsen and Jacob Ruppert, reviewed the parade 

 from a stand in Seventeenth street. The line of march was marked 

 by crowds which thronged the sidewalks and cheered the various 

 corps as they passed. 



Some good shooting was done during the day, although many of the 

 cracks refused to risk their reputations after the fatigue and exertions 

 of the morning parade. G. W. Plaisted made the fine score of 72 out 

 of 75 on the ring target, while the first festival silver cup for 300 

 points was won by G. Neuman, of the Miller Rifle Club, of New York. 



Sumner Paine Accepts. 



The following letter, dated Boston, Mass., June 29, has been re- 

 ceived, it being a response to Mr, Petty's communication which 

 appeared in our last issue: 



' I am glad that my friend Mr. Petty has recovered his health aud I 

 shall be much pleased to shoot him a friendly match when and where 

 he wishes. I will accept all his terms as published in your last issue, 

 but I do not entirely approve of them. In the first place, the sub- 

 divisions of the Standard American Bullseye are to my mind finer 

 than the accuracy of the weapon warrants; certainly they are when 

 I am holding it and I think that Creedmore count might be better. In 

 the second place, I hope to be able to attend the shoot at Seagirt the 

 first week in September, and if so I should prefer to shoot with Mr. 

 Petty at that time. Still I am anxious to shoot a match, and so many 

 unavoidable hindrances have interfered with our meeting in the past 

 that I do not wish to interpose any more. A third suggestion is this: 

 Lieut. G. W. Coulston, F. R. P. Twenty-third Reg't, N. G. S. N. Y., 

 wrote at the time of our first attempted match and suggested our let- 

 ting him in and making the match three-handed. Now, I have 

 never had the pleasure of making Mr. Coulston's acquaintance, but I 

 should like to do so, and should be pleased to have the match three- 

 cornered; or if Mr. Petty objects I tell you what I will do: Ihave two 

 brothers who can both shoot with a revolver, and I will get one of 

 them to come down with me if he can spare the time and shoot a 

 match with Lieut. Coulston at the same time and place as our match. 

 If neither of my brothers can come I will agree to bring some member 

 of the M. V. M. to shoot with Lieut. Coulston. I think, if it could te 

 arranged for my brother to come, it would be interesting, as he and 



Lyman Rapid-Fire Target. 



The Lyman rapid-fire rifle targets are finding much favor. They 

 are in two sizes, for 25yds. and 50yds. The smaller one sent post-paid 

 for 15 cents a dozen, the larger one for 25 cents a dozen, by the Forest 

 and Stream Publishing Co. 



Eastern Division:— Waldo L. Plimpton, West Newton, Mass.; 

 Maurice MaBon, Edw. L, Sargent, Taunton, Mass. 



All ties divided unless otherwise reported. 



If you want your shoot to be announced here

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



Club secretaries are invited to send their scores for publication in 

 these columns, also any news notes they may care to have printed. 



Elmer Shaner has forwarded to us a very amusing effusion from 

 the pen, or rather typewriter, of a live-bird shooter who lives in Cen- 

 tral Pennsylvania. The letter, which has evidently been manifolded, is 

 addressed to the Pittsburg Gun Club, and from the wording of the 

 letter copies have been sent to other papers. The party writing the 

 letter wants to arrange for a series of shoots with Dr. Carver for gate 

 receipts. Part of the letter reads as follows: "I have shot a great 

 many matches with members of gun clubs, they furnishing the 

 pigeons, paying for the advertising, etc., and giving me 50 per cent, 

 of the gate receipts. They usually charge 25 cents admission, and 

 from 15 to 25 cents for the t,rand stand. Have you a man in your club 

 who would shoot me a 50-bird race under the above conditions? We 

 would make a great draiving card, shooting under the A. S. A rules, 

 28yds. rise, from 5 unknown traps." (The italics are ours.) 



The first tournament of the "Maryland and District of Columbia 

 Trap-Shooters' League" will be held at Oak Crest, Md., to-day at 10 

 A. M. The tournament, which is open to all, will be given under the 

 auspices of the Laurel Gun Club. The announcement of the tourna- 

 ment contains the following: "It is very desirable to get together at 

 this tournament all shooters in Maryland and District of Columbia, 

 especially those belonging to regularly organized gun clubs. It is 

 proposed on this occasion to call a meeting and organize the Mary- 

 land and District of Columbia Trap-Shooters' League, elect officers 

 and arrange for tournaments during the season of 1895." Mr. H. A. 

 Penrose, of the Excelsior Target Company, 120 E. Baltimore street, 

 Baltimore, Md., and Mr. George E. Baldwin, Laurel, Md., sign the 

 call. 



"Milf'F. Lindsley.inventor and late manufacturer of American Wood 

 Powder, ha3 severed his connection with the firm of that name, and 

 has accepted a position as superintendent of the King Powder Com- 

 pany, of Cincinnati, O. "Milt's" specialty will be "King's Smokeless," 

 a new powder which will shortly be on the market. Everybody wishes 

 Lindsleyand Mrs. Liudsley ("Wanda") success; but shooters in the 

 vicinity of New York regret that the change of business necessitates 

 a change of residence from West Hoboken, N, J., to Cincinnati, O. 

 "Wanda" says she is going to take both her bears with her to the new 

 home. 



The Worcester Sportsmen's Club, of Worcester, Mass.. will hold an 

 all-day tournament on July 04 under the management of its secretary. 

 Mr. Chas. E. Forehand. The main event will be a 100-target race, $3 

 optional sweep, targets extra at 2 cents, the first prize being a Fore- 

 hand Arms Company's $75 hammerless ejector gun. The 100 targets 

 will be shot as follows: two strings of 25, known angles; two strings 

 of 25, traps in reversed order. Each 25 will be a sweep at $2 entrance. 

 Anybody can shoot for the gun by paying for the targets. There will 

 be no handicap and nobody is barred, 



The management of the Pennsylvania [State shoot at Holmesburg 

 Junction, Pa., Aug. 20-25, is working hard to make the tournament 

 the most successful in the history of the Association. Recording Sec- 

 retary Harry G. Thurman, Germantown, Pa,, and Corresponding Sec- 

 retary John C. Shallcross will answer any inquiries that may be sent 

 to them. A merchandise event will be a specialty this year; it will be 

 open only to members of the State Association. Empire targets will 

 be thrown during the tournament. 



Mr. F. M. Dawson, of Lynchburg, Va., spent this week in the city. 

 Mr. Dawson is connected with .the Lynchburg Opera House and was 

 here on business, booking dates for the coming season. From what 

 he tells us the Gun Club's hoodoo is still paramount; even a dose of 

 Hazard's Blue Ribbon had no appreciable effect upon it, except in 

 isolated oases. They are talking Charlotte now downin Lynchburg. 



Anent the recent Passaic City-Newburgh team! shoot, Mr. David 

 Brown, president of the West Newburgh Gun and Rifle Association, 

 writes: "Well! we did them up and just enough too — five breaks. 

 We had a splendid time, and though beaten they looked pleasant, 

 hoping no doubt to have it different next time. The weather was as 

 fine as the trip." 



Altoona's tournament promises to be every bit as good as last year. 

 Everything will be iu readiness for a little preliminary practice on 

 Tuesday afternoon, July 9. The 100-target handicap (100 to 120 tar- 

 gets) takes place on Wednesday. 



Is the Wilmerding (Pa.) Gun Club the only club in existence around 

 Pittsburg? Where are all those clubs which Manager Shaner tells us 

 about, and what are they doing? 



The Hollywood Futurity Handicap at live birds will be shot to-day 

 on the grounds of the Hollywood Gun Club, West End, N. J. From 

 the number of entries the affair promises to be a great success. 



Jack Parker intends giving a tournament this year either in August 

 or September; dates are not decided upon yet. 



Don't forget Altoona— July 10-12. 



Mr, A. S. White, of Syracuse, N. Y., took part in the recent cham- 

 pionship meeting of the Inanimate Bird Shooting Association of Great 

 Britain, Mr. White has the honor ol being the first American to win 

 a cup in a target contest in England. Edward Banks. 



The Vicksburg Interstate. 



Vicksbitrg, Miss., June 27.— The fifth tournament of the Interstate 

 Association held here yesterday and to-day was an event which 

 awakened more enthusiasm in shooting than anything in that line for 

 years past. Manager Shaner and other officials of the Association 

 perhaps never felt more gratified over a tourney than in this one. It 

 produced that result which is most desired— an awakening of the back, 

 sliders in gun circles, Vicksburghad more than its share of these 

 boys, for two years ago one of those obnoxious laws was passed by 

 the Mississippi Legislature. By it the shooting of live pigeons from 

 the trap was expressly forbidden. The law held back the sport and 

 many guns lay vaseline covered in their cases. They were out this 

 week and it is a safe assertion to make that the cheery word "pull" 

 will be heard ofteuer in this "city on the hills." 



Manager Elmer E Shaner, of the Interstate Association, was the 

 advance guard of the boys, who began to arrive early in the week. 

 While the Vicksburg boys were welcoming the visitors he was busy 

 getting the grounds in shape. He soon had the traps in position, 

 lent pitched, stands and blackboards erected and everything ready 

 for the opening of the tournament Dan Searles, D. M. Porterfield, J. 

 W. Hayes and L. R. Pinkston, of the Vicksburg Gun Club, made all 

 the boys feel at home the moment they arrived. The Carroll lobby 

 was occupied by quite a number of shooters the night before the 

 opening day. Among them were noticed W. M. Thomas, representing 

 the Union Metallic Cartridge Co.; Lieut, A. W. duBray, representing 

 Parker Bros., a firm that recently joined the Association fCol, Pipes. 

 H. L. Baker, J. McDowell and Col. Wade, of Natchez; F. Waddell, of 

 Chattanooga, Tenn.; H. L. Foote, of Rolling Forks, Miss., and several 

 others. 



The shooting took place at the Fair grounds, about one mile from 

 the hotel. It was reached by a pleasant drive, and spinning along in 

 a bus stirred up reminders of old time days. "U. M. C." Thomas 

 made the crowd laugh one day when he said;" "This reminds me very 

 much of the rapid transit at the Charleston, S. C, tournament last 

 October." 



The out-of-town contingent once more enjoyed Southern hospitality. 

 There is no' hing to compare with it. Every member of the Vicksburg 

 Club took off his coat and sailed in to make their guests at ease. They 

 succeeded, and the visit iug sportsmen carried away happy thoughts 

 of the good jolly time they had had in the bright, busy city of Vicks- 

 burg. The scores follow:

Mr. Bacon Scored 383. 



Cleveland, O., June 25.— In figuring the averages at our tourna- 

 ment by some oversight we neglected to carry out the average made 

 by "Shorty" Bacon, and in consequence his name does not appear in 

 your list of average winners. Mr. Bacon made a score of 383 out of a 

 possible 420, winning the eighth average at our tournament, and we 

 trust you will make this correction so as to give him credit for his ex- 

 cellent work. The Ch&mberlin Cartridge & Target Co.,

Circus in Belfast. 



Belfast, Me., June 25.— Will you kindly change the dates of the Bel- 

 fast Gun Club tournament from July 17 and 18 to July 16 and 17. We
