Revolver Shooting in England. 



Oct. 16.— The final competition for the North London Rifle Club 

 toward the revolver championship scores resulted as follows: 



Twenty yards, stationary target: Walter Winans 41, Macdonald 40, 

 Comber 40, Maj. Palmer 38, C. F. Lowe 38, Lieut. Richardson (rifle 

 champion of the club) 88, Comber 37, Brading 37, Carter 36, Knapp 36, 

 Capt. Earle 35, Franzman 34, Howe 34, Bashford 33, Denyer 33, Lieut. 

 Howard 32, Luff 31, H. J. Andrews 30, Lieut. Evans 80, Ward 27, Brit- 

 ton 27, Garrud 25, Allman 23. 



The season has now closed and has been the most successful one 

 ever enjoyed by this club, there being more shooters and better shoot- 

 ing. The result of the revolver championship of the club competi- 

 tions is now published. The report says: "Mr. Walter Winans again 

 takes the revolver championship, and his grand aggregate score of 

 411 points out of the highest possible 420 must rank among the best 

 things he has done with that weapon, and is an indication ot the mar- 

 velous form he has shown in the club competitions this year." 



Revolver championship, North London Rifle Club, 1895: 



Winner of championship, club gold championship jewel and $5, 

 Walter Winans (S. & W. revolver, TJ. M. C ammunition). 



Twenty yards scores: 42, 42, 42, 42, 42, 41—251 out of a possible 253, 



Alternate hands score at 20yds. : 41 out of a possible 42. 



Twenty yards disappearing target: 42 (the first highest possible 

 made in competition). 



Fifty yards target: 38, 39—77 out of a possible 84. 



Total, 411 out of a possible 420. 



Second prize, silver jewel and 85. 



Major H. Munday, H. A. C. (Colt revolver, Walsrode powder, Eley 

 case). 



Twenty yards: 40, 39, 39, 39, 39, 39—235 out of a possible 252. 



Alternate hands, 38 out of 42. 



Disappearing target, 39 out of 42. 



Fifty yards: 37, 36—73 out of 84. 



Total, 385 out of 420. 



Third prize, bronze jewel and 85. 



Major H. Paer (S. & W. revolver, Eley's ammunition, black 

 powder), 371. 

 The following receive 85 each. 



Comber (Colt. Eley's ammunition, black powder). Score, 370. 



Carter (Colt, Eley's ammunition, black powder). 



Lieut. Richardson, who is rifle champion of the club (Colt, Eley's 

 ammunition, black powder). Score, 346. 



Luff (Colt, Eley's ammunition, black powder). Score, 350. 



Gould (Colt, Eley's ammunition, black powder). Score, 297, 



Evens (?), score, 295. Treadwell (f), score, 222. 



The above is the rough preliminary score published but, there ssems 

 to be some mistake about Mr. Treadwell, being in the prize list as Mr. 

 Knapp, but for omitting to enter at the right time should be fourth 

 (using a S. & W.) with the score of 377, Capt. Earle eighth with the 

 score of 336, and several others higher than Mr. Treadwell who we do 

 not remember as shooting out his full number of entries. Anyhow 

 the three top men are certain. 



Mr. Winans's total is by far the best on record for England, having 

 six highest possible scores out of the ten. He was unfortunate in the 

 weather the last month or would have almost certainly improved it 

 some three points more. 



Ocf. S3.— A revolver match was shot to-day at Ilford between teams 

 consisting of the committee of the North London Rifle Club and the 

 rest of the club. The conditions were: Mr. Winans, Capt. Cowan, Mr. 

 Carter and Mr. Skilton to shoot on the committee side; Capt. T. W. 

 Heath, Lieut. Howard and Messrs. Howe and Comber to represent the 

 club; eighteen shots each man at 20yds., with one shot first allowed 

 for sighting purposes. 



Capt. Heath and Mr. Winans were drawn to shoot against each 

 other first. The first six shots Mr. Winans scored 39 to Capt. Heath's 

 32, giving him a lead of 7 points, which Capt. Heath could not make 

 up in his remaining shots, Mr. Winans winning with a score of 112 to 

 Capt. Heath's 107. Capt. Cowan next shot against Mr. Comber, beat- 

 ing him by 4 points, scores 98 and 94 respectively. Howard and Skil- 

 ton shot next, Howard making 91 to Skilton's 72. This virtually set- 

 tled the match in favor of the club, as Mr. Carter, though he got up 

 to within 1 point of Mr. Winans's score, making 111, was still run too 

 closely by Mr. Howe, with a score of 107, to be able to make up for 

 Mr. Skilton's poor score. Mr. Winans made another highest possible 

 of 42 immediately afterward in the usual revolver 20yds. competition. 

 This gives him a record of all highest possibles at 20yds. and 1 point 

 more in the revolver championship of the club, bringing it up to 412 

 out of a possible 420 as far as actual shooting goes, but unfortunately 

 this last 42 is not allowed to count owing to the shooting year being 

 over: but of course it does not practically bar the record. This is the 

 twelfth highest possible he has made in competition this year to com- 

 pare with the next best of two made by Mr. Rand last year. 



Wants Lighter Cartridges. 



New York, Oct. 30.— Editor Forest and Stream: In these daysi 

 when everything pertaining to rifles is constantly changing, I, in 

 common with a lot of other riflemen, have been looking out for the 

 change we all expected when we first heard tests of the new high 

 power powder had been successful, but that change has not yet 

 arrived. 



When it was first explained that we we were going to have these new 

 powders, it was also explained, and has since so appeared, that the 

 same amount of work would be done by them as was the old ones, 

 although only half as much powder, counting by bulk, would be used. 

 Consequently we who are used to the old .45-70 and .45-90 hoped to see a 

 cartridge shooting the old ball with the same old twist of rifling, and 

 with the same or very little increased velocity, which cartridge would 

 be much lighter and smaller than the present .45-70, so that where we 

 formerly carried with ease fifty cartridges we could now carry about 

 eighty. Now we see the .45-70 loaded with smokeless powder, but 

 they are just as large as ever, and the weight of the snell is practically 

 the same; just as bulky and heavy as before, because the smokeless 

 powder has been carefully made of a special brand to occupy about 

 the same bulk as the black. 



Is there no prospect then of our seeing the cartridges we are looking 

 for ? Do you not think that your influence would be used in a good 

 cause if exerted to further the production of such a shell ? A .45-70 

 loaded with a high power powder, it seems to me, would be, as nearly 

 as I can calculate it, about the Bize of the old favorite .44-40,or possibly 

 a little larger. A rifle to shoot it could easily be made very light, 

 having if necessary a nickel steel barrel. 



Of course the present .45-70 rifles could not shoot such a cartridge, 

 but as a vast number of sportsmen will buy and are buying the new 

 ,80 calibers now so much in vogue, it is to be presumed that the 

 same class or an equally large one will be only too anxious to buy such 

 a weapon as I name. The experiments in the manufacture of rifles 

 should tend to improvement, and should not be entirely conducted to 

 meet the demands of old timers, and there is no doubt in the minds of 

 many thousands of sportsmen that the old favorite rifles, .40s, .45s. 

 etc., will hold their popularity even in the face of the new small 

 calibers. Therefore Ruch an improvement as the reduction by 

 nearly half in weight and size of the cartridge, without at the same 

 time any loss whatever of power, trajectory or accuracy, will be an on- 

 ward step in favor of those who will shoot those arms from well-con- 

 sidered preference. 



The Marlin Company it seems have just put on the market one of their 

 regular rifles shooting one of these cartridges, and it seems to me that 

 they miss the opportunity of a lifetime in not making the cartridges 

 in the new form. In the same way every old favorite cartridge could 

 be reduced in size and weight from a third to a half. .25-203 could be 

 carried in the pocket by hundreds, and .38-55s could be carried in 

 one's vest pocket, and the comfort and ease of supply to riflemen using 

 these favorites for all times would be greatly increased. It is to me 

 the greatest surprise that no company has thought of making this 

 change. For, although those who already have rifles chambered for 

 tbe present style of .45-70 cartridge, and not being in a position to buy 

 new weapons, would not buy them, still the vaBt number of riflemen 

 who do buy new guns and keep up with every change of the times 

 which is a step in advance would purchase them by thousands. 



That this change would come was the first thing that occurred to 

 me as well as to many of my friends, when we first knew that the high 

 power powder was a sure success, and that it has not come has been 

 a great disappointment to many as well as to myself.

Target Match at Rome. 



Rome, N. Y., Oct. 29.— Dr. W. L. Kingsley and R. M. Bingham, two 

 of the best shots in this city, shot a match to-day at 100 targets per 

 man. At the half-way mark the Doctor was 7 targets to the bad, but 

 by breaking 24 out of his next 25, and 22 out of his last string, he ran 

 out an easy winner, as his opponent only scored 29 out of his last 50. 

 Tbe toll score was as follows:

 Broadway, New York. 



The following are the handicaps of the members of the New Jersey 

 Trap-Shooters' League who can compete for the Winchester gun at 

 the South Side Gun Club'B grounds, Newark, N. J., on Tuesday after- 

 noon next, Nov. 12, the handicaps being framed from the records the 

 shooters made in the league shoots this year: Van Dyke, 50; 

 McAlpin, Ivins and Apgar, 51; Capt. Money, Drake and 

 W. Sigler, 52; Miller, Yeomans 1 , N. E. Money and A. Sickley, 

 53; Whitehead, Collins, Hoffman, E. Sickley, Creveling,

 van, Van Iderstine, Unterever, Mehl, Dustin, Bergen, Hughes, Wool-

 Bodgers, Folaom, Frye and Waller, 60. 



After Gilbert had won the handsome trophy presented by the 

 Du Pont Powder Company for competition at the recent shoot at 

 Baltimore, Eddie Bingham came to us and said: "Don't forget that 

 Gilbert's shells were loaded by Montgomery Ward & Co." And yet 

 we did forget it, but try to make amends by giving Eddie the credit in 

 this issue. 



W.G.Clark, of Altoona, Pa., spent last week in New York city. 

 Although "Wopsononock Bill" has paid several visits to New York 

 previous to the one in question, he says that he never became so well 

 acquainted with the city as he did while on this trip. Why people 

 should starve in New York, where the free lunch counters are so boun- 

 tifully supplied, is more than he can understand. 



It Is stated that Jordan L Mott, Jr., of the Country Club, Westches- 

 ter, N. Y., the patentee and inventor of the Mott disappearing live- 

 bird trap, bet George Work a good round sum that he (Work) could 

 not kill 85 out of 100 selected birds, trapped from the Mott traps. The 

 trial came off at the Country Club's grounds on Tuesday, Oct. 29, 

 Work losing the wager, as he only scored 80 out of the 100. Mr. Mott's 

 traps are very fast, but we think that Work would have the best end 

 of it were he to try again. 



Elsewhere we publish a letter from H. E. Norton, President of the 

 Iron City Gun Club, Ironton, O., in which he refers to a change of 

 dates for his club's holiday tournament. In a personal communication 

 which accompanied the letter Mr. Norton says: "We are not out for 

 the two cents a bird, but for the fun of it and for the name of giving 

 good shoots. As soon as we take in enough to pay for the birds, we 

 put in the rest as added money." If that's the way the Iron City men 

 are' going to run their shoots, they will never have much occasion to 

 drum up shooters to take part in their tournaments. 



There's a good deal of life in live-bird circles in Pittsburg, Pa. Mem- 

 bers of the Herron Hill Gun Club are holding weekly shoots with a 

 good attendance at each one of them. . There is also a rumor that a 

 series of three 100-bird matches may be made between Messner and 

 W. G. Clark, the matches to be shot in the near future. As both men 

 are shooting in good form, the races would be well worth watching, 

 the winner being a hard matter to pick. 



Who is going to challenge Gilbert for the Du Pont trophy? Why not 

 send a good man from the Ea8t and try and get it back here so as to 

 keep things alive? 



In answer to numerous inquiries, we can state that up to the present 

 time the management of the Interstate Association has arrived at no 

 decision as to where to hold tbe Grand American Handicap of 1896. 

 It is announced to be held at New York, and there seems no reason to 

 doubt that, following its usual course, tbe management will decide 

 upon some grounds In the vicinity of that city. 



The opening of the game season always makes things dull in trap- 

 shooting circles. Here, in New York, we have also had two wet 

 Saturday's out of the last three to put an actual damper upon the 

 regular Saturday afternoon meetings. 



Members of the New Jersey Trap-Shooters' League will find that 

 Secretary Hobart, of the South Side Gun Club, of Newark, N. J., has 

 provided them with a good programme for the all-day shoot of that 

 club on Tuesday next, Nov. 12. The contest for the Winchester re- 

 peating shotgun commences at 11 A. M. 



Mr. G. M. Waldron, secretary of the Missouri State Fish and Qn^e 

 Protective Association, wires us that, his Association claimB the dates 

 of May 20-24, 1896, in place of May 13-16, as stated in our issue of Oct. 

 26. The Association has taken this aotion so as to avoid clashing with 

 Memphis. 



The live blackbird shoot at Elkwood Park, N. J., Oct. 30, did not 

 draw many shooters together. Those who were present found that 

 blackbirds were not so easy to hit as they had expected, no one being 

 able to make a long run. 



Our illustrations this week, showing the positions assumed at the 

 score by a few of the contestants in the Du Pont handicap, will be 

 appreciated by those who make a study of easy attitudes. 



Rolia Heikes loomed up again very largely at the San Antonio Gun 

 Club's shoot. There was nobody near him. It begins to look as if 

 we'll have to make a special class, with Rolla as its sole member. 



Lou Erhardt announces that he will hold his "thirteenth open-to-aU 

 and second annual manufacturers' amateur tournament" on April 14 

 to 17, 1896. He will add 81,000 in cash, in addition to which a largelist 

 of manufacturers' prizes will be shot for. 



Ralph Trimble, Kentucky's best target shot, won fresh honors last 

 week at Peoria, III. With Rexvoat and Powers, both men from Illi- 

 nois, he divided up a good snare of tbe money. Edward Banks. 



Buffalo Trap Notes. 



Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 26.— B. F. Smith held a field day at Audubon 

 Park to-day. The main event on the programme was No. 4, for the 

 championship of Erie county. The trophy was won by E. Andrews, 

 of Sardinia, N. Y., who broke 42 out of his 50. Philips had a good 

 show for it at the end of his first string, but fell down on his last 25 

 targets. The scores made to-day were as follows, 29 shooters taking 

 part in the day's sport:

Oct. 39. — F. Porter and Pete Smith shot a match to-day on the 

 Audubon Park grounds with Wm. Daw and Geo. McDonald, the con- 

 ditions being 50 tareets per man, one man up, everything known, gun 

 below the elbow, 850 a side. Notwithstanding Daw's 24 out of his first 

 25 the other party won easily, breaking 72 to 61. Daw and McDonald 

 have made another match, a forfeit being posted, but no date named

 No. 2 was a tie with 7 each. The tie was shot off at 3 pairs, E. C. win- 

 ning by 6 to 5. 



Ocf. 30. — The small attendance to-day was due to the weather, there 

 being 6in. of snow on the ground. Kirkover shot very well, making a 

 clean score up to his last (twenty-first) bird, which he lost dead out 

 of bounds. An interested participant wbb Richmond F. Kingman, 

 president of the Pneumatic Torpedo and Construction Company, of 

 New York, who shot over the traps for the first time, doing good 

 work for a beginner at trap-shooting. In addition to the live-bird 

 events two target sweeps were shot, each at 10 targets: 



No. 1: Kirkover 9, McArthur and Brown 8, Rebstock 6. 



No. 2: Kirkover 9, McArthur 8, Brown and Dr. Daniels 7, Rebstock 5. 



Live-bird scores were as follows, Nog. 4 and 5 being miss and out, 81 

 entrance, and the others 5 birds, 82.50 entrance: 



No. 1. No. 2. No. 3 No. 4. No. 5.

Snap Shots at the Du Pont Tournament. 



While the Du Pont Smokeless Powder handicap was in progress at 

 Baltimore on Oct. 24, 25, Forest and Stream's kodak was busy 

 taking snap shots of the men at the score. The accompanying illus- 

 tration gives some results of that work. Of the sixteen men whose 

 attitudes are here given, Clark and Ivins are the only two whose 

 positions at the trap have been previously reproduced in our columns. 

 In the case of Ivins he is shown in this picture to be In the act of firing 

 at a right-quartering towering bird that left No. 5 trap, the recoil of 

 the gun, as in Charlie Grimm's photograph, somewhat marring the 

 clearness of the outline. Jackson's attitude is a strained one and likely 

 to handicap him on fast birds. 



Gilbert the winner, and MacAlester the runner-up, occupy the center 

 of the second row; both are good types of easy attitudes, although 

 MacAlester's is better fitted for quickly catching sight of the bird as 

 the trap Is pulled. Claridge, a corking good shot by the way, braces 

 himself in a manner that is somewhat unusual in really good shots, 

 yet his attitude reminds one somewhat of Sim Glover. Wellington 

 (W. Hepler), of Harrisburg, Pa., handlesj his gun well and assumes an 

 easy position at the score. Charlie Grimm's picture is scarcely a fair 

 one, as the shutter was snapped just a Becond too late, catching him 

 in the act of firing his first barrel after he had assumed a different 

 attitude to that which he affects when giving the word "pull." 



The pictures of Shepard and Bingham were obtained after they had 

 retired from the struggle, those gentlemen kindly consenting to pose 

 for Forest and Stream's gallery. Melot, Budd, Denny, Cooper and 

 Corning all have distinctive attitudes and will be readily recognized 

 by their friends and by those who have seen them shot, Woodruff, 

 the Bouth-paw shot from Elizabeth, N. J,, has an easy position which 

 enables him to kill his birds quickly and in good shape. Clark's 

 position does not differ at all from that which we registered forhimin 

 this year's Grand American Handicap souvenir— with one exception: 

 in the photo we took of him on that occasion we caught him "inching," 

 half or his left foot being over the 30yds. mark, quite a gain when one 

 considers the size of that foot. 



As several of those who took part in the Du Pont handicap may 

 wonder why their photographs do not appear in conjunction with 

 those given here, we have to inform them that a misfortune overtook 

 a roll of over two dozen negatives, thus depriving us of some valu- 

 able additions to our gallery.
