The double attraction of $1,000 added money and a chance of seeing 

 the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight on October 31 ought to draw a good 

 crowd of Northern shooters to San Antonio, Texas, on Oct. 27-30, the 

 dates of the San Antonio Gun Club's tournament. 



The American E. C. Powder Company has issued a very pretty card 

 calling attention to its tournament near New York city, May 5-3, 1896. 

 With $ 2,000 added to the purses, a large attendance of shooters at this 

 tournament is a certainty. 



"When theflrst shot la fired at the DuPont Smokeless Powder Com- 

 pany's tournament at live birds at Baltimore, Md„ the live-bird sea- 

 son of 1894-95 may be said to have commenced. 



As we are at present busily employed shooting at ducks and eating 

 snipe on the shore of Lake Erie, drivers and twisters (save of the

The Baltimore Handicap. 



Baltimore. Oct. 5.— Editor Forest and Stream: At the date of the 

 present writing, Baltimore seems to be the Mecca toward which the 

 eyes of all the true and faithful American sportsmen are turned, aud 

 within the next three weeks the pilgrimage will begin. If the prayers 

 of the numerous faithful are answered, the autumn winds will blow 

 softly, the sun will shine never bo bright, the forests and fields will be 

 arrayed in all their autumnal beauty, and the face of nature will 

 break into one glad, bright smile. And why? Just three weeks from 

 to-day will mark the opening of the DuPont tournament, 



The prophetic vision of the would-be champion summons before 

 him, as he quietly eDjoys his evening siesta over well-seasoned pipe or 

 fragrant cigar, (he scene in its entirety, with himself in the chief title 

 role. He sees the well- planned grounds with club house in the distance 

 as he descends from the electric ear, and with his gun slung across 

 his shoulder, and the ubiquitous small boy lugging his shells, he be- 

 takes himself by way of the board walk across the fields, in company 

 with a numerous throng, each one being actuated by the same im- 

 pulse, bound on the same mission, striving for the same goal, namely, 

 the championship of America. Our friend, the would-be champion, 

 smiles with an air of self-complacency aB he contemplates the 

 throng; he even feels a chord of sympathy vibrate through his bosom 

 as he meditates their certain defeat, for already he sees himself the 

 possessor of the beautiful trophy which denominates him the cham- 

 pion par excellence, causing him to be the cynosure of alt eyes, the 

 envied of every man who can shoot a gun. 



As he comes upon the grounds he notices the elaborate preparations 

 made for the accommodation of all contestants; the three seta of 

 traps; the platforms marked off at regular intervals for the various 

 contestants in the handicap events; the birds, well fed, clean and 

 looking as IE ready to fly for their lives; the cashier's office with its 

 full quota of c'ericil force taking entries; the small arsenal of guns of 

 every description glinting brightly in the sunlight and being made 

 ready for the fray; the shooters attiring themselves in costumes 

 which bast suit their requirements; the handsome dogs, restive to 

 begin their work retrieving the birds that may award the skill of the 

 shooter, and all the other thousand and one sights that are incident to 

 a great tournament, 



His mind and heart, however, are centered on one event, so he does 

 not evince much interest in the various sweepstakes that take place, 

 although he enters and shoots through them all and, of course, curies 

 out high man io each event, standing alone and putting first mouey in 

 his pocket, so that when the main event is called he is pretty close to 

 being the custodian of all the fundi on the grounds. But now comes 

 the crucial moment of his life as he steps to the score in the DaPont 

 Smokeless Powder grand championship handicap, which is to decide 

 the champion of America at live birds. With steady hand and un- 

 ruffled voice he calls '-pull" and the race is on. It would be a work of 

 supererogation to follow him through the entire event. Suffice it to 

 say, he kills them all, whether fast or slow, tallers or towerers, duf- 

 fers or screamers; nothing too hard, nothing too easy. The cracks 

 of the country look upon him in open-eyed wonder and ask in mys- 

 terious whispers who he is and where he is from. To all this he pays 

 no attention, but taking the trophy and as much of the purse as he 

 can carry he starts for home to see his best girl, show her the 

 evidence of his skill and tell her what a wonder he is with a gun. 



Let us hope that his vision is but a precursor of what is to follow, 

 and ,that he may not be disappointed by finding that there are others, 

 who, while they m<\y not dream as well, shoot better than he does. 



Judging from the demand for live birds in this vicinity, one might 

 suppose that nearly all the shooters along the Atlantic sea board 

 from Mason and Dixon's line, north, h %d gone into training. We 

 know it is so in this section. Men who have not been tempted to shoot 

 at a pigeon for many moons are getting into the harness, and from 

 the reports that are coming in every day the man who walks away 

 with the championship will know that he has been to a shooting 

 match. 



We learn from the committee who have the tournament in charge 

 that their correspondence is daily increasing, letters being recei ved 

 from every part of the Union. Qaite a large number of entries have 

 already been booked at this early date, which augurs well for a large 

 field of entries before the day of the big handicap arrives. 



As has been announced through the press and also in the pro- 

 grammes of the tournament that have been gotten out, entries can be 

 made now to the DuPont Smokeless Powder tournament committee, 

 No. 22 S. Calvert street, Baltimore, Md., accompanied by the forfeit 

 of $10, Upon receipt of entry record is made of same, and be is 

 given bis handicap. Contestants will shoot in the order in which they 

 enter. The committee is very desirous that all shooters who propose 

 entering for the championship event shall make their entries at the 

 earliest possible date, in order to afford the handicap committee suf- 

 ficient time to properly handicap them. While the entry list will be 

 kept open until the twentieth gun ia fired in the event on the morning 

 of Oct. 24, it is much to the shooter's interest to make his entry before 

 that time, thereby affording the handicap committee time to look up 

 his record and place him advisedly, rather than wait until the last 

 moment and then run the risk of being more heavily handicapped 

 than his record, if fully known, would warrant. 



Arrangements ba?e been made with tbe Trunk Line Association for 

 special railroad rates. All shooters and visitors attending this tour- 

 nament will be given a rate of one ann one-third fares, full fare being 

 charged coming to the tournament and one-third fare returning. 

 Tne Trunk Line Association will have their representative on the 

 tournament grounds all day of Oct. 24, to furnish certificates to all 

 shooters and visitors who desire to avail of the reduced fare. The 

 programme says that this tournament is to be shot under National 

 Association rules. This is a mistake of the printer's; it should read 

 American Association rules. 



The magnificent tropby, consisting of solid silver loving cup and 

 onyx pedestal, which is to award the victor in the grand champion- 

 ship event, has been shipped to New York and will be seen on exhi- 

 bition in the window of the Winchester Repeating Arms Co., No. 312 

 Broadway. After remaining there a week, it will be shipped to 

 Chicago, where it will be displayed in the rooms of the well-known 

 sportsman, Mr. Mussey, No. 104 Madison street. 



It is estimated by the known one3 that there will be at least 150 

 entries in the grand championship event; large delegations from 

 the following points will be present; New York, New Jersey, Phila- 

 delphia, Chicago, St. Louis, Pittsburg, Boston, Washington, Staunton 

 and the South. 



Any one contemplating attending this tournament and wishing 

 hotel accommodations arranged for theoi can have this attended to 

 by addressing the committee. Stanley.

The Baltimore Tournament. 



Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 30.— Editor Forest and Stream: In your issue 

 of Sept. 28 yon give a synopsis of the programme issued for the Balti- 

 more, Md,, live-bird tournament. It states that "the object of the B. 

 I, DuPont de Nemours & Co.'s grand Smokeless Powder championship 

 handicap live bird tournament i3 to bring together each year the rep- 

 resentative gentlemen live-bird shots of America and of the world to 

 determine from year to year the champion wing shot. 



"Id order to attain this end a tournament of sufficient magnitude to 

 attract the best shooters of the couutry has been inaugurated, and In 

 the main event— the DuPont Smokeless Powder grand championship 

 handicap— the purse is guaranteed to be at least $1,000 in addition to 

 the championship trophy. 



"This, it is hoped, will prove sufficient inducaroent to bring together 

 in one grand handicap race all the leading live-bird shots of this coun- 

 try, so that whoever wins the championship will have won it from his 

 peers, and will stand pre-eminently as tl e champion live-bird shot of 

 America, so long as he successfully defends his title according to con- 

 ditions governing holder of trophy." 



T have quoted at length because it is necessary that I should do so 

 before putting my case to you. When you have heard that case, It 

 seems highly probable that you will agree with me that it is a hard 

 one: 



My pretentions to being a live-bird shot are not unworthy of an as- 

 pirant for championship honors; and, in fact, I'd dearly love to win 

 the coveted title. But what show have I? From the above it appears 

 chat in order to become the full blown champion live-bird shot of the 

 world (yes, of the world} I must take part in the handicap event de- 

 scribed, running the chance of being placed on the 29 or 30vds. mark, 

 while another J. G. Messner waltzes up to the 26yds. mark and bags 

 trophy, cash and title of champion. All shooters will agree with me 

 that in such an event as a handicap the victory of no ono save one of 

 the scratch men could possibly entitle the winner to appropriate the 

 name of champion of America, much less of the world. In a 

 championship event all starters are placed on equal marks. Eor 

 obvious reasons an exception is made in yacht racing, where'time 

 allowances are awarded. For similar reasons 10-gauges and 12- 

 gauges would not stand on the same marks in a championship contest. 



Then again: The notice also states that DuPont, Smokeless shall be 

 used exclusively in the handicap. That is hard on me again. I have 

 gone to great trouble, and have spent much time and money, in find- 

 ing out what load and what powder enable my gun and myself to do 

 our bpst work. I don't use DuPont Smokeless and have never fired a 

 grain of that powder. I use — , well, it's either E. C, Stmultze, Ameri- 

 can Wood, black, or some other powder. Now then, if I want to be a 

 champion, I have got not only to run the risk of conceding three or 

 four yards to a man who can shoot as well as I can, but who may not 

 be so well known, but have also to change my powder and load, and 

 possibly my gun too That is pretty tough, I think, and not consistent 

 with real championship conditions. 



The latter conditions would read: 12 gauge guns, any powder, and 

 all shooters on one mark. 48 Grains .

Wm. Walter, of the Bayside Gun Club, of Keyport, N. J., may well 

 be styled a handy man with the gun. At the last club shoot he won 

 three straight sweeps of 5 targets each, scoring 13 out of 15, shooting 

 with one hand. He used a Winchester repiater and shot expert 

 rules. 



H. E. Ackerson, Jr., of the Bayside Gun Club, of Keyport, N. J., is 

 a lad of only 14 years, and has been shooting but a couple of moDths. 

 At the last club shoot he arrived on the grounds in company with bis 

 father too late to contest for the badge. He shot a string of 25 for 

 practice, however, shooting the last 15 in deep twilight. His score of 

 12, shooting expert rul -s, I think is very creditable under the circum- 

 stances. Widgeon. 



The DuPont Tournament. 



DR. FORT'S REPLY TO OUR SUGGESTION. 



In our issue of S.'pt. 28 we made the following note regarding tha 

 clashing of dates between the Baltimore and the Atlanta tourna- 

 meDtH: 



' Our attention has been called to a fact which we had overlooked 

 viz,: that the dates selected for the live-bird tournament at Baltimore' 

 Md., were practically the same that had been selected some months 

 ago by the Clarke Hardware Company, of Atlanta, Ga. It is a very 

 great pitj for the successot both tournaments that this mistake should 

 have been made by the Maryland management. The attractions at 

 Atlanta outside of the actual shooting are so many that the single 

 fare rate to that city will act as a decided counterbalance when it 

 comes to weighing tbe advantages of both shoots. If not too late 

 and we don't see that it is, as it is nearly a month yet until the dates 

 chosen, it would be a gracious as well as advisable act on the part of 

 the Baltimore people to choose a later date." 



It seems that our suggestion, which was offered merely as such, has 

 been construed into a criticism on the management of the Baltimore 

 shoot. Dr. Samuel T. Fort, of EI|icott City, Md., under date of Sept. 

 30, writes as follows, being evidently of the opinion that the note was 

 a criticism: 



"1 hive just seen your astringent criticism of the Baltimore man- 

 agement of the DuPont Smokeless Powder tournament, in regard to 

 conflict of dates with the Clarke Hardware tournament in Atlanta, and 

 would say that there Wif s no intention on our part to conflict with 

 this or any other tournament, we having too much at stake to at- 

 tempt such a thing. Our dates were chosen before the announcement 

 Of the Clarke Hardware Co.'s tournament through the sporting press 

 and while it was important to have claimed our dates earlier than we 

 did through the same medium.* When we found that they were to 

 have a tournament the matters in connection with our tournament 

 had already been pushed too far to go back. Programmes were in 

 the hands of printers, birds contracted for, and now when the Clarke 

 Hardware Co. have refused to postpone we cannot go back: having 

 already ten forfeits in hand from men in different parts of the coun^ 

 try. We cannot do more under the circumstances than be sorry for 

 the conflict of dates, and still hope that the Atlanta contingent will 

 postpone, for there are several from here who want to attend but 

 cannot in face of our own tournament. We also feel that the Forest 

 and Stream s'aould get both sides of the question before claiming 'bad 

 management' upon the part of the Baltimore committee. Jc is simply 

 unfortunate and we are j'istas sorry as any one else can be, but 

 where live birds and several thousand dollars are concerned in carry- 

 ing out a programme you will readily see that it is impossible for us 

 to postpone." 



In justice to the Clarke Hardware Co., of Atlanta, Ga., it is only 

 right to say that it was not that firm, nor anybody in the South who 

 first called our attention to the conflict of date3. 



*Dr. Fort has evidently omitted the end of this senteno?.

 treat to local and visiting sportsmen, and H. E. Norton, A. L O'Con- 

 nell and Dr. Shattuc increased their long list of friends by the' courte- 

 sies they extended to all present. Dr. Shattuc ia a fine target shot

 get for the judge to see it. The boys were in high glee, Drs. Sample 

 and Vickers, from Huntington, W. Va , headed a jolly party and sus- 

 tained their reputation as genial sportsmen. Norton will be one of 

 the "cracks" in '96. This was his first attempt at the traps, and al- 

 though he wore "bloomers" and coached O'Connell, he smashed tar- 

 gets in great shape. Waddell, of Cincinnati, started in at a rapid 

 pace, and to even up results with everybody accepted a self-imposed

The Grand Midwinter Texas Shoot. 



San Antonio, Texas, Sept. 30.— Editor Forest and Stream: I desire 

 to correct the statement scattered broadcast throughout the land that 

 the San Antonio Midwinter Tournament, to be held in January, 1896 

 is to bs an "individual shoot." ' ' 



The idea of a midwinter tournament was suggested by Mr. JL L 

 Hayden, of the San Antonio Business Men's Club. I was practically 

 sent by the Business Men's Club to the Memphis shoot to advocate the 

 San Antonio Midwinter Tournament, and I was armed with creden- 

 tial from the club. Besides this, the Texas State Sportsmen's Asso- 

 ciation has endorsed this shoot, and Texas will send a greater attend- 

 ance to (he January tournament than ever before. The added money 

 fund will consist of d snations from members of the Texas Association 

 and the shoot will be distinctly a Tex 18 Association affair— not a State' 

 shoot, but a national tournament and sportsmen's exposition and 

 dog show. 



The present Texas Association was organized nineteen years ago 

 and has always stood staunch for game protection. It has placed 1 

 itself on record as the enemy of crooked trap-shooting, such as drop- 

 ping for place, etc. Its shoots have at all times been characterised by 

 fairness and impartiality; ana the fact that the Texas State Sports^ 

 men's Association will father the great midwinter tournament next 

 January is a guarantee that it will be one of the greatest shooting 

 events that have taken place up to date. Q. c. GuaasAa. 



Tournament of the Middletown Gun Club. 



Cincinnati, O , Sept. 26.— One of the most notable shooting events 

 of the season was that held at Middletown, Q., on this date. The day 

 was windy and it kept the sportsmen guessing at the angles and speed 

 of the targets. The two Dromios, Jacoby and Sebald, presided in the 

 office and over the traps, and in their aooustomed steady way the boys 

 were made to pace the score in quick order. Milt Lindsley, Girtc-n 

 See aud King were present, representing the King Powder Company' 

 R. S. Waddell, of Cincinnati, representing the Dupont and Haaard 

 Smokeless in good style, and Henry Goodman looked after the in- 

 terests of the Bandle Arms Company. Only a few shot through all 

 the events of the day, and the strong west wind was sufficient excuse 

 that the scores were not higher. Although the entries numbered 

 about twenty, the principal records were as follows:
