Club secretaries are invited to send their scores for publication in

 Mail all such matter to Forest and Stream. Publishing Company, 318 

 Broadway, New York. 



The following is the programme for the Iron City Gun Club's tour- 

 nament on Nov. 20, 21, at I ronton, O: Six events at 15 bluerocks, 

 $1.50 entrance each event, and four 20-target events, $2 entrance. The 

 above ten events will constitute the programme for each day. Tar- 

 gets will be charged for at the rate of 2 cents each, the money being 

 dedncted from the purses. Shooting commences promptly at 8:30 each 

 day. The following handicapping system will be tried: All making 

 straight scores in any event will shoot in the next event at everything 

 known, traps pulled in reverse order. Whenever they fail at this style 

 of shooting to take a portion of either first or second money they go 

 back to unknown angles. Mr. H. E. Norton, president of the club, in 

 seudiug us the above particulars of his club's programme, adds: 

 "This we think to be a fair way of shooting, and one that should suit 

 the amateur, the expert and the professional. The club has already 

 heard from enough shooters to feel safe in saying that it will have 

 from four to six squads all the time. We promise to all who come a 

 square shoot in every way and two days of good sport. Don't forget 

 the dates— Nov. 20-21." 



Mr. Harry A. Chisholm, secretary of the Portland, Me., Gun Club, 

 send ns the following under date of Oct. 26: "In a recent issue of 

 Forest and Stream you state that the Richmond, Me., team won the 

 championship badge given by the Lovell Arms Co. The real truth 

 of the matter is this: The Richmond team contains some members 

 who shoot 10-gauge guns. While the shoot was in progress Mr. Hun- 

 tington's load was challenged and found to contain very nearly one 

 and one-half ounces of shot. At the end of the contest the badge was 

 awarded to the Portland team, Huntington's score being thrown out, 

 thus giving Portland the State championship." 



In a letter dated from Memphis, Tenn., November 4, Noel Money, of 

 the American E. C. Powder Company, says in regard to the sport he 

 has had while on his trip through the South:. "Am in a hurry, as lam 

 just off to Little Rock, Ark., to shoot live birds with Paul Litzke. 

 Have been having very good shooting here; been after quail three days 

 and have bagged: first afternoon, 35; second day, 64, and third day, 

 75; grass and cover still very thick. I was at the Wacanaca club last 

 week, where there are simply millions of ducks, geese and wild swans. 

 This is a wonderful game country, turkeys and deer seem to be every- 

 where; one man at the club killed five turkeys on Saturday morning in 

 about one hour." That sounds like a sportsman's paradise. 



On Nov. 1 the colleges of Princeton, Yale and Harvard met before 

 the traps, the gun clubs of each college sending teams of five to Day- 

 ton, N. J., where, on the grounds of the local gun club at Monmouth 

 Junction, the teams decided the annual question of superiority with 

 the shotgun. Princeton won, as the following scores show: Prince- 

 ton—Kendall and Farr 26, Young 25, Johnson 22 and Paine 21—120; 

 Harvard— Bartol 28. Hardy 25. Dove 22, Harris 21 and Sterling 20—116. 

 Yale— Miller 20, McCahill 24, Hovt 18, Sargeant 16 and Benedict 14—98. 

 Each man shot at 20 targets, making 150 to the team. 



The Pittsburg, Pa., Dispatch of Nov. 5 says: "At a meeting of the 

 Herron Hill G, 0. yesterday the following gentlemen were elected to 

 membership: W. W. Wilcox, B. F. Jones, Jr., D. H. Hostetter, J. A. 

 Wilson, John D. McKennan, William N, Murray, L. W. Dalzell, William 

 L Jones, G M. Hostetter, T. H. Ewing, George A Howe, O. L. Herlig, 

 John H. Straub, T. H. Childs, W. O. Temp'e, E. E. Shaner, Sol Shaner, 

 John W. Dickson, JohnG. Messner, H. Christy, J. A. Glesenkamp." 



E. W. Hoffman, of Galena, Kan., has challenged W. W. Mcllhany, of 

 Weir City, Kan., the holder of the championship of the State of Kan- 

 sas at live birds, for the trophy emblematic of the above champion- 

 ship. Mcllhany has accepted the challenge, and the match will take 

 place at Weir City on Nov. 21. The conditions of the match are 50 live 

 birds per man, A. S. A. rules to govern. 



The Wollaston, Mass., Gun Club's series of merchandise club shoots 

 for 1895 have been brought to a close. In this competition each mem- 

 ber is allowed to choose his three b^st scores in the series. As a re- 

 sult, the first prize goes to Morse with 73 out of 75, Federhen taking 

 second with 72 out of the same number. D. B. Lincoln and Prescott 

 are tied for third with 71 each; they will shoot off the tie to decide the 

 owner of the prize. 



The Westminster Kennel Club, Babylon, L. I., opened its pigeon- 

 shooting season of 1895-96 on Election Day. The proceedings were in- 

 formal, but some good shooting was done, the birds, as is always the 

 icase on these grounds, being fast flyers. G A. Chapin did the best 

 work during the day, killing 39 out of 40 from the 30yds. mark. 



W. T. Irwin and A. H. Bogardus shot a live-bird match on Nov. 6, at 

 Paris, 111. This match was said "to be "the second of the series of 

 three for the championship!" Irwin won by killing 44 out of 50 to 

 Bogardus's 41. Each has now won one match ; the next is to be shot at 

 Lincoln, when the "championship" question will be decided. 



When five men step to the score and shoot at 50 targets each, un- 

 known angles, scoring a total of 236 out of the 250. an average of 94 4 

 for the team— it is what may be called shooting. That was the record 

 made on Nov. 4 by five members of the Cleveland Gun Club, as shown 

 ■elsewhere. 



The members of the Yantacaw Gun Club had good sport on Elec- 

 tion Day, notwithstanding the fact that the scores were not up to the 

 average, as is shown by the following: F S. Delafield 16, R, K. ^ooke 

 14, G. Deaken 12, E. R Tilton 5, T. Wilson 14, E. Macy 12, F. Butler 10, 

 S. H. Dorr 10, G. Malcolm 10. 



In a 25 live-bird sweep shot at Patchogue. L, I., on Nov. 7, Wm. 

 ©'Berry, of St. James', carried off first money by killing 25 straight. 

 The contestants were John Wolfert, of Islip: W. M O'Berry, of St, 

 .James'; Dr. Beers, of Brooklyn; George O'Berry, of St. James'; John 

 Harris, of Smithtown; Robert O'Berry, of St. James', and George 

 Marks, of Bohemia. 



We are indebted to Mr. Portus Baxter, of the Seattle Post-Intelli- 

 gen cer , the secretary of the Washington St ate Sportsmen's Associaiir n , 

 for the scores of the association's tournament held recently at Seattle. 

 The daily reports of the shoot given in the above paper were from the 

 pen of Mr. Baxter, who handled the matter very ably. 



W J. Passmore, a member of the Crescent Gun Club, of Brooklyn, 

 N. Y.. won the November shoot of that club by killing 6 out of 7 live 

 birds from the 28yds. mark. His competitors were: Walter G. Gllman 

 <30) and Otto J. Schmidt (28). 



The result of the first King-Messner mstch was a surprise; not so 

 much from the fact that the men tied at the end of the 100th round, 

 but on account of the poor scores made on what are termed by our 

 •correspondent "awfully bum birds." 



AttheKewanee (III.) tournament on Nov. 8 the Galesburg, III., 

 team beat the Kewanee team by the score of 41 to 39. During the 

 three days of the shoot Rolla Heikes as usual rolled up some big 

 scores. On the last day he divided, or took the whole of first money 

 in ten events out of sixteen. 



The managers of tournaments, and secretaries of gun clubs that 

 contemplate holding tournaments, should not fail to send for samples 

 of Forest and Stream's tournament squad pads. HaviDg gotten 

 them out in large quantities we can f urnisn them at a very low rate 

 indeed. 



There ia no easier method of insuring a good attendance at your 

 tournaments than by keeping your club before the eyes of the trap- 

 shooting public. Send in your scores, not occasionally, but every time 

 jour club hi. Ids a thcot.

Great Scores at Cleveland. 



Cleveland, O , Nov. 4.— Some remarkably fine shooting was done 

 here to-day at the contest for the championship of Cuyahoga county 

 by the five contestants who took part in the shoot. The shooting was 

 at 50 bluerocks per man, unknown angles. The following scores were 



Redwing 11111110111111111111111111111110111111111111111111-48 



Upson 11110101111111111111111111111111111111111111111111—48 



Latham 11111111111111111111111111111111101111111111111111—49 



Elliott 11011111111110111111011111011111111111111111111111—46 



Sherman 11111111101110111101111111111111011101111111111111—45 



The championship badge is a very fine diamond badge and has been 

 contested for four times, Upson winning twice and Redwing and 

 Latham once each. The conditions governing the badge make it 

 necessary for a contestant to win four times in succession to own it ; 

 with the excellent target shots we have in Cleveland it will be almoBt 

 impossible for any one to carry it off. 



Cleveland holds the State championship at present and is unable to 

 .find any club in the State that thinks they have a good enough team 

 of four to give them a match for the State championship cup held by 

 them. 



Dayton talks a great deal, but never comes after the cup. Any team 

 has the privilege of challenging, but they do not seem to care for the 

 cup somehow or other. They all say it's pewter anyhow. Pull 



Climax Gun Club. 



Plainfield, N. J., Oct. 30.— The regular monthly shoot of the Climax 

 Gun Club took place to-day in perfect weather. Owing probably to 

 the counter attraction offered by the open season on game, the at- 

 tendance at the shoot was light. Those that were present did some 

 good work. Grier, who is J. G. Lindzey, of Dunellen, N. J., as usual 

 did not require more than a quarter of his handicap allowance, scor- 

 ing 31 out of 33 shot. at. President Manning missed his first two tar- 

 gets and then ran 25 straight. Dutchy Smith and Brantingham both 

 scored 24 out of 25, whUe D. Darby broke 24 out of 30 shot at. Swody 

 and Singer gained 4 points each by breaking respectively 23 out of 31, 

 and 23 out of 35. The shoot Is at 25 targets per man, handicap allow- 

 ance of extra targets, unknown angles. Score:
