Revolver Shooting in England. 



London, England, Aug. 1.— Below are details of scores made at the 

 North London Rifle Club, Mr. Winans having the best score yet made 

 at 50yds. at the club: 



I July 31, 50yds., stationary targets: Walter Winans 38, Knapp 34, 

 Comber 83, Capt. Earle 33, Major Munday 33, Lieut. Baxter 28, Lieut. 

 Richardson 28, Howell 28, Carter 28, Gareud 26, Luff 24, Franzmann 23, 

 W. Treadwell 21. 



At the South London Rifle Club very few members shot last week as 

 below: 



July 25, 20yds., stationary target: 50yds.: 



Capt. T. W. Heath 066777—39 Capt. T W. Heath 456757-34 



Lieut. J. Howard 774677—38 Lieut. J. Howard 737737-34 



E. Howe 577655—35 E. Howe 537774—33 



Mr. Winans has ecored now within two points of his winning score 

 of last year for the revolver championship of the club; he intends to 

 try and make up these two points before stopping for the season. It 

 can be easiest done by improving on his score of 39 in the 20yds.

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. 



While writing of Swody's ten-mile tramp, a good story on Frank 

 Mason comes to mind. It occurred some time in '91, about two years 

 prior to the organization of the Altoona (Pa.) Rod and Gun Club. 

 The present grounds of the club at Wopsononock, where it holds its 

 monthly shoots, had been laid out, and the club house built by Bill 

 Clark, who gave a tournament up there. Frank Mason, as represen- 

 tative of Forest and Stream, went to attend the shoot. To get to 

 "Wopsy" one had then, as now. to take the A. C. & N. narrow-gauge 

 railroad at Juniata, a suburb of Altoona. At that time it was a one- 

 train-in-the-morning-and-one-in-theafternoon schedule, and Mason, 

 through some mistake in the hour, missed the morning train, arriving 

 at Juniata a few minutes after it had left. As the crow flies it is about 

 three miles from Juniata to "Wopsy," and the mountain top looks in- 

 vitingly near. By the high road it is but little more than three and one- 

 half miles, and decent walking at that. Mason decided not to wait for 

 the afternoon train— he'd walk up. Also he'd followthe railroad track; 

 he knew where that would lead him, and he was uncertain about the 

 highway. Anybody who has attended one of the Altoona Club's en- 

 joyable shoots knows how that railroad twists and turns in its endeav- 

 ors to climb the 1,100ft. to the summit. Well, Mason followed that 

 track. There's about eight miles of it before you get to the top of the 

 mountain, and tough walking, too. He didn't beat the afternoon train 

 by many minutes either. 



The opening shoot at Elkwood Park was a success. With a little 

 better accommodation for shooters, cashier, scorer and spectators, 

 the place will be a popular resort for trap-shooters. Handicaps, such 

 as that which was brought off at Elkwood Park on August 15, are 

 bound to become favorites with the masses, and if they do seem a little 

 severe on experts, the latter have no cause for grumbling, as they get 

 the best end of the stick on every other occasion. We think, however, 

 that in all similar races, where the background is at all dark, a couple 

 of judges, one at each end of the score, should be selected in 

 order that they may assist the referee. Had that been done at Elk- 

 wood, one or more apparently "dusted" targets might have been 

 scored as breaks to the advantage of the shooter. To us, Apgar's last 

 cypher in his fourth string looked like a "dusted" target, and although 

 challenged promptly, no one spoke to us in favor of a break until 

 after the event was over. We have maintained over and over again 

 that no one man can referee absolutely correctly, although he decides 

 as the target appears to him. He has seen no perceptible piece, 

 whereas men in another position have seen two or three perceptible 

 pieces. That one target meant a half of fourth money to Apgar. 



Mr. C. F. Rood, secretary of the Valley City Gun Club, of Grand 

 Rapids, Mich., writes under date of Aug. 15 as follows: "The Valley 

 City Gun Club has been notified that the Zeeland ("Mich.) Gun Club is 

 after its scalp, and after the trophy emblematic of the State cham- 

 pionship, presented by Shooting and Fishing, which is now held by 

 this club. The challenge has been accepted, and the shoot arranged 

 to take place at 1 P. M., Aug. 24, on our grounds. It is going to be no 

 walkover for either club, for though the Grand Rapids men have held 

 the title of champion undisputed since they won the trophy from the 

 Battle Creek team, yet the Zeeland team is composed ot thorough 

 sportsmen and crack field shots. The names of the members of the 

 different teams are: Valley City G. O— M. K. Walton (captain), R. C. 

 Wharton, H. J. Gilmore, R. C. Widdicomb and W. S. Coleman; sub- 

 stitutes, G. A. Gould and A. L. Holcomb. Zeeland G. O— H. H. Kar- 

 sters (captain), H. R. Van Eyck r F. Heifte, P. Smits and A. Smits; sub- 

 stitutes, A. Kamps and D. Borst. 



Talk about being fond of a gun! Of course, there are plenty of men 

 who will tramp over mountains or marshes all day long and come 

 back at night with precious little to show for their self-imposed labor. 

 But J. Swody, a member of the Climax Gun Club (and who, by the 

 way, scored 20 out of 25 for his club on Aug. 7), has pretty nearly a 

 record. His club had its monthly shoot during haying time, but 

 Swody was bound to be there and shoot his score. First thing in the 

 morning he got up and cut a swath all round his hayfield, so that his 

 men could go right on with the machine. Then, as bis horses were all 

 busy in the hayfield, Swody shouldered his gun, pocketed his shells, 

 and walked the five miles that lay between his home and the club's 

 grounds. When all was over he covered the same five miles on foot 

 once more. That's a record that is seldom beaten— at least, we think 

 so. 



Elmer E. Shaner, manager of the Interstate Association, was in 

 New York last week en route from New Orleans. He said that the 

 shoot in that city, a report of which appears elsewhere, was one of 

 the most successful ever held by his Association, and prophesies that 

 the Charlotte. N, C, tournament next week will add another big suc- 

 cess to the record of 1895. "Charlotte will be a corker," Baid be. 



The Aledo (111.) Gun Club announces that it will hold its annual tour- 

 nament on Oct. 15-17. There will be events at live birds and targets, 

 the distribution of these, events being arranged in the programme that 

 will be issued shortly by the programme committee, of which J. W. 

 McRoberts is chairman. Cash and merchandise prizes will be offered 

 by the club. 



'The Maplewood (N. J.)— Peekskill (N. Y.) team race, which was set 

 for last Saturday, Aug. 17, at Maplewood, bad to be postponed owing 

 to the sickness of some of the members of the Peekskill Club. It will 

 take place to-day, Aug. 24, and at Maplewood, of course. It will be a 

 great race and well worth seeing. 



We have received the following letter from Major R. H. Breintnall, 

 President of the South Side Gun Club, of Newark, N. J.: "I under, 

 stand that the Endeavor Gun Club have claimed Labor Day for their 

 annual shoots. The South Side will therefore cheerfully give way, so 

 kindly cancel our shoot for that day. The league shoot will be as ad- 

 vertised, Tuesday, Sept. 3. Our shooting stand will be inclosed by 

 next Saturday, so our shoots will take place rain or shine." As there 

 will be nothing now to conflict with the Endeavor's shoot on Sept. 2, 

 there should be a good crowd at Marion. 



The Des-Chree-Shos-Ka programme is noted elsewhere. Jack Parker 

 probably knows as well as anybody what will draw the boys to his 

 shoot, and has embodied in his schedule for Sept. 10-13 several attrac- 

 tive events. 



W. 0. Preston, of Charlotte, N. Y., won the Skinner badge of the 

 Manitou Rod and Gun Club, of Rochester, N. Y., on Aug. 10. The 

 members are handicapped by extra allowance of targets, Preston 

 shooting at 40. He broke 29 of them and took the badge. There were 

 two 288 and seven 27s. 



W. W, Bennett, the "Bill Jones" of Massachusetts (?), did some great 

 work on Aug. 8 at the Richmond (Me.) Gun Club's tournament. His 

 score was 143 out of a possible 150. 



In a live bird sweep at 20 pigeons, shot recently on the grounds of 

 the Independent Gun Cluo, of Reading, Pa., the following scores were 

 made: O. I. Melott 20, J. E. Smeck and J, Shaaber 19, John Becker 

 and George Zellers 17, George Gruber 13, and John Dunkel 9. 



C. Riley, of the Armstrong's Point Club, of Winnipeg, Man., has won 

 his club's championship and the gold medal presented by E. J. Mac- 

 Kay, the honorary president of the club. 



The Hollywood, N. J., championship, set for Aug. 20, fell through, 

 owing to lack of entries. The event may be brought off at some 

 future date. 



There was some little regret expressed at Elkwood Park, N. J., on 

 Aug. 15 that Dickey's 97 out of 100 didn't bring him first money. But 

 Dickey himself did not appear to regret it, while "Puck's" victory was 

 a very popular one, and Boston got it after all. 



Isn't it time that some one was challenging somebody else for a 

 championship of some kind? This sounds vague, but it's on a par 

 with most of the championship challenges during the past twelve 

 months. 



Owing to the date, Aug. 31, being unsatisfactory to the Union Gun 

 Club, of Springfield, N. J., the team race between that club and the 

 Endeavor Gun Club, of Jersey City, N. J., has been postponed until 

 Sept. 7. 



The Nyack (N. Y.), Gun Club will hold a shoot to-day at West 

 Nyack, near the West Shore depot. There will be both live-bird and 

 target events, shooting commencing at 10 A. M. The live-bird events 

 will be started at 1 P. M. s 



Noel Money returned from his Southern trip on Monday, Aug. 19 

 He was brown as a berry, more in love with the South than he ever 

 was, and full of the excellent sport he had while in Memphis on his 

 way home from the New Orleans tournament. He says those doves 

 down there can fly pretty fast too. 



Mr. Mark R.Perkins, of Sheridan, Wyo., writes that the Sheridan 

 Gun Club will hold a three days' tournament, Oct. 8-10, at live birds 

 and targets, $250 being added to the purses. 



Edward Banes. 



Boston Kept the Trophy. 



Wellington, Mass., Aug. 16.— To-day saw an old-time attendance at 

 the grounds of the Boston Shooting Association. The chief attraction 

 was the contest for the Shooting and Fishing State team champion- 

 ship trophy, which was held by the members of the home club. The 

 Worcester (Mass.) Sportsmen's Club had challenged for this trophy 

 and were on hand to fight for State championship honors. The con- 

 test is at 50 targets per man, 250 to the team of five men, 30 targets 

 shot one man up, five unknown traps, and 10 pairs, regular order.
