FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Sept. 14.T1895, 



Grand Rapids Won Easily. 



Grand Rapids, Mich., Aug. 24.— Our shoot this week, combining the 

 regular weekly club shoot and the State team championship race be- 

 tween the Valley City Gun Club and the Zealand Rod and Gun Club, 

 has created a great deal of interest. The Zeeland team came with a 

 large company, including a number of their fair friends. The local 

 club turned out in force. The avowed determination of the visitors 

 to do up the champions, and their high reputation as field shots, had 

 made the contest a universal topic of conversation for some weeks, 

 and a close race was expected. The local papers gave the event con- 

 siderable prominence, the Grand Rapids Herald publishing portraits 

 of both teams. 



The result was a surprise to all, for while the home team were san- 

 guine of winning, in their practice shoots there usually has been an 

 off day for some member to pull down the others, but to-day every 

 man was in great form, and the score is the highest yet made among 

 the State teams. Some of the scores made by the visitors in the 

 sweeps following the main event show that when some of the younger 

 members will have more confidence In their ability to shoot in public 

 later on. Scores of sweeps:

The Morgan's Grove Shoot. 



Shepherdstown, W. Va., Sept. 5.— The two days 1 tournament given 

 annually by the Morgan's Grove Agricultural, Mechanical and Live 

 Stock Exhibition Association was managed this year by Elmer 

 Shaner, on behalf of the Interstate Association. It was brought to a 

 close after a capital two days' sport, the result of Mr. Shaner's e^cel 

 lent management. The number of shooters present was somewhat 

 disappointing, but the second day had a larger list of entries than the 

 first. Among those present were: "U. M. C." Thomas, of Briigeport, 

 Conn.; Porlerfleld, representing DuPont's Smokeless; Bond, Ciaridge, 

 Hawkins, Waters, and L. D. Thomas, all of Baltimore. Mr. Thomas 

 representing Laflin & Rand's Troisdorf ; Dr. "Brown," of Ellicott City, 

 Md.; the Haddox brothers, Winchester, Va.; Smith, of Frederick, Md., 

 with a lot of local lights who helped to swell the fist of entries with 

 considerable spirit. 



On the first day the majority of those shooting fired no less than 215 

 shots, the programme containing ten 15-target races and the Morgan's 

 Grove trophy contest at 50 targets per man. In addition to the above 

 an extra at 15 targets was also shot. The chief event was, of course, 

 the Morgan's Grove contest. This year the prize was an L. C. Smith 

 hammerless gun, the conditions being 50 targets, unknown angles, en- 

 trance, price of targets. The winner was B W. Ciaridge, of Balti- 

 more, who broke 46. Bond was second with 44, and Hawkins third 

 with 43. Dr. "Brown" and Hood tied for fourth place with 41 each. 



The shooting of the two days passed off very smoothly, not a kick 

 being heard, and not over a dozen or so of the targets being broken in 

 the traps. Too much cannot be said in praise of Mr. Shaner's man- 

 agement. Dr. "Brown," who scored the high averages on the first 

 day, shot a Winchester repeater and DuPont powder. The scoies, 

 as a whole, are a good average, as the targets were 1 hrown far and 

 fast. Scores made in the Morgan's Grove trophy contest are as fol- 

 lows:

 in each of ihe odd events being $1 ; in the even numbered events it was 

 $1 50. Nos. 1 to 10 were shot on the first dav, Ncs. 1 1 to 20 on the sec-

Trap at Michigan City. 



Michigan City, Miss., Aug. 29— The regular weekly shoot of the 

 Michigan City Gun Club took place to day, a number of enthusiasts 

 taking part. The failure of the day was the four-men team race be- 

 tween the Michigan City and the Grand Junction Gun Clubs, the rainy 

 weather keeping several of the best shots of both clubs away. This 

 fact, together with the darkness of the day and the acute angles at 

 which the targets were thrown, will account for the poor scores made. 

 Tway, as usual, was top of the list with an average of 88 per cent., 

 while last week his average at Grand Junction was 90 per cent. An- 

 other team race between these two clubs will be shot in the near 

 future. Scores of to day's shoot were as follows:

Trap around Altoona. 



Altoona, Pa., Sept. 7.— Several interesting live-bird sweeps were 

 shot this forenoon by members of the Altoona Gun Club. Buffalo 

 Bill's Wild West show was here to-day and it was the Intention of the 

 club management to have Miss Annie Oakley participate in such a 

 series of races as might please her. 



The fates were against this, however, for many little mishaps 

 baffled the shrewd management of the wiley Bill, and they did not ar- 

 rive from their engagement in the "Flood City" until a late hour. As 

 a result Miss Oakley had no time to spare, much to her chagrin, for 

 when Bill Clark and I called on her at their tent later in the day both 

 she and Mr. Butler expressed themselves as being very much disap- 

 pointed at not being able to enjoy themselves for a while outside the 

 show life. 



They made immediate inquiry about the welfare of friends they had 

 met during their visit here in March, 1893. They wanted to know, too, 

 when we had last heard from Ed Banks, whom Forest and Streaai 

 captured from our midst just about a year ago. 



That visit to Altoona Miss Oakley will probably never forget. She 

 arrived here, if I remember correctly, on a Friday evening, having 

 stopped off while on her journey at the home of her childhood, Wood- 

 land^ O. The weather was delightful, the winter's snow having gone, 

 and promises of spring visible on all sides. The gun club had made 

 every arrangement to have an enjoyable day's outing at its Wopsono- 

 nock grounds. Live and inanimate targets had been provided in num- 

 bers to satisfy everybody. By Saturday morning, however, a raging 

 storm had set in, such as Wopsononock Mountain visitors are so 

 familiar with, and at 9 o'clock the falling snow was drifting into thou- 

 sands of different shapes and forms. A few faced the storm, but 

 Miss Oakley remained in her hotel. Some inanimates were broken 

 during the early part of the day, but the elements finally prevailed, and 

 the occasion ended in disappointment. But this was not the saddest 

 part of Miss Oakley's experience. During this cold snap she lost by 

 death her very valuable St. Bernard dog, the one for which she had 

 refused so much money, and to which she had been so much attached. 

 To that loss she referred to-day, and says it is her only sad thought in 

 connection with her vi it to Pennsylvania. She is looting natural, 

 but quite fatigued from the continuous labors of engagements that 

 have given her no rest for a period of over eighteen months. 



In the sweeps above referred to the stakes were divided into two 

 moneys except the miss-and-out, which was divided among the high 

 guns on account of the birds running out. The birds were a good lot. 

 Tom House officiated in the capacity of referee.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



G. S., Allegheny, Pa — Which gun will give the best penetration at 

 60yds., a 16ga., 12ga. or 10 a , • ach gun to be loaded with its best load? 

 Ans. There is no great difference in" the penetration between the guns 

 named, but as a general thing the 12ga. will give a greater penetra- 

 tion at 60yds. than the 16ga., and the lOga. greater than either 12 or 

 lOga.
