Roberts third with 386, Another match of a similar nature, will be 



shot by these three men in the near future. 



Pistol Shooting in Massachusetts.

Rifle Notes. 



The Ideal Manufacturing Co. has perfected a mould and reloading 

 tool for the new .30-30 Winchester and Marlin smokeless cartridges. 



The mould casts a bullet with a beveled groove near the front end, 

 around which the shell is crimped, thus preventing undue pressure on 

 the powder. 



The Iroquois Rifle Club, of Pittsburg. Pa., held a prize shoot at its 

 indoor rifle range, 1717 Jane street, on Christmas Day; 550 was given 

 away in prizes. 



The opening prize shoot of the Empire Rifle Club, of New York, 

 was held on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, Dec. 18, 19, at the 

 club's headquarters, Zettler's gallery, 219 Bowery. The club gave 

 away §124 in prizes.

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. 

 Ties in all events are considered as divided unless otherwise reported. 

 Mail all such matter to Forest and Stream Publishing Company, SIS 

 Broadxoay, New York. 



The selection of Elkwood Park as the scene of the next grand 

 American handicap should meet with the general approval of all in- 

 tending shooters. The only objection that can be brought to bear 

 upon the selection is on the score of distance, and that in point of 

 time is not as bad as it was to Willard Park last April. One hour and 

 a half without a change, with trains stopped right at the entrance to 

 the park, is nothing compared with the conveniences when one gets 

 there. Shooters who don't want to sleep in New York every night 

 can find ample and excellent accommodation at Branchport, not a 

 mile from the park, or at Long Branch, about one and one-half miles 

 away, with plenty of stages at hand to carry them to and from their 

 hotel. The breezes from the Atlantic Ocean, which can be enjoyed to 

 the full at Long Branch, are calculated to make a man shoot straight 

 whether he wants to or no. 



A special feature of the programme for the Grand American Handi- 

 cap meeting will be radically different from that presented last year. 

 As we understand it, all events under 10 birds will be high guns; 10 

 birds and over class shooting, with the exception of the Grand Amer- 

 ican Handicap itself. It is possible that even in this event the man- 

 agement may throw out some additional inducements to the general 

 shooting public to enter, a suggestion being made to divide $1,000 be- 

 tween the three high guns, the balance being divided as in class shoot- 

 ing among those who have not got placed. Manager Shaner will tell 

 everything in his programme, which he will go to work upon at 

 once. There will be three sets of traps, one of the three being de- 

 voted entirely to miss-and-outs. This last set is bound to be a popular 

 one. 



Paul North, the gentleman "from Ohio," was present at the annual 

 meeting of the Interstate Association last week. While talking about 

 the prospects for next year, Paul said that he thought there would be 

 more target shooting than ever; his sales told him that, he said. Re- 

 garding the E. C. tournament in May, he said it ought to be the big- 

 gest affair of the kind ever held. "You've never had a large tourna- 

 ment, with such an amount of added money— §2,000— for the boys to 

 come after. They'll come from all over the country to see New York and 

 to get a slice of that $2,000." We think Paul is right, and also think 

 that the championship event will be a grand success, and that after 

 it is over we will be able to hail a real all-round champion at tar- 

 gets. 



The New Utrecht Gun Club is launching out into the target field, and 

 will shoot a team race with a team from the Boiling Springs Gun 

 Club, of Rutherford, N. J., some time in January. In making a match 

 with the Boiling Springs Club, the New Utrechts are flying at high 

 game, as the Jersey boys can get together a very hot team. We 

 understand the teams will be quite large, probably twenty-four men a 

 side. Among the target shots of the New Utrechts are: Capt. Money 

 and his son, Noel; L. H. Schortemeier, Charlie Floyd, H. P. Fessenden, 

 A. A. Hegeman, D. Deacon, Gus Greiff, W. F. Sykes, Dr. Sheppard, 

 Dr. Pool, etc. 



Judge Lindsay's handicap will be adopted at the Chamberlin tour- 

 nament next May. This handicap, it will be remembered, handicaps 

 not by distance nor by style of shooting; it merely makes winners pay 

 more money into the next event they shoot in than those do who were 

 unlucky enough not to get a portion of the purse. Rolla Heikes et 

 hoc genus omne, literally the crackerjacks, will pay about $15 a day 

 more into the purses than do the "contributors." This will reduce 

 winnings and losings; a mighty good thing for trap-shooting in gen- 

 eral. 



The decision of the board of directors of the Interstate Association 

 to adopt the Rc se system with a view to giving it a trial at some of 

 their tournaments in the season of 1896 is on a par with the pro- 

 gressive nature of the work done by the Association in past years. In 

 our issue of March 16, 1895, we gave an exhaustive review of the 

 workings of this system under the title of the "straight-out" system, 

 believing that the scheme for the division of purses was the right 

 one, and the one best calculated to attract the rank and file of trap- 

 shooters. 



We learn from H. A. Penrose, who was in the city last week, that all 

 challengers for the Du Pont Smokeless championship cup, now held 

 by Fred Gilbert, of Spirit Lake.Ia., must use Du Pont in their matches 

 for the cup. It was originally stated that challengers might use any 

 powder, but such was not the intention of the donors of the trophy. 

 G. P. Cnristianson, who has challenged for the cup, has a good repu- 

 tation in Iowa and in the West as a live-bird shot, so GilDert will have 

 to look out. 



The departure of B. G. Empie from Lynchburg, Va., will be a sad 

 blow to the Lynchburg Gun Club. Mr. Empie was very popular in that 

 city, and was a moving spirit in its trap-shooting affairs. In his new 

 home, New Orleans, he will find ample opportunities for testing his 

 skill at targets, and, judging from the scores made from time to time 

 by members of the Louisiana Gun Club, he will have to put his best 

 foot foremost if he wants to hold his own. 



Capt. Adrian C. Anson took part in the live-bird events on the 

 second day of the Elizabeth, N. J., bi-monthly tournament. Anson 

 shouldered Brewer's 91b. gun, marched to the 28yds. mark, shoved in 

 a couple of Brewer's 3J4in. Roman candles, called '-Pull,"and knocked 

 down his birds in capital shape; the close shooting qualities of the gun 

 bothered him a little when he had to put it on to incomers. 



John Benner, of Fanwood, N. J., has been laid up for about six 

 months with a broken leg that stubbornly refused to heal. Within 

 the past week or two, although going on crutches, John has been 

 trying his hand at the trap. He took part in the Elizabeth Gun Club's 

 25-bird race on Dec. 20, scoring 20 for the 27yds. mark, making some 

 good second barrel kills. 



A meeting of the executive committee of the Missouri State Fish and 

 Game Protective Association will be held in Kansas City, Mo., duriog 

 the first week in January, for the purpose of completing arrangements 

 for the nineteenth annual tournament of the Association, which will 

 be held in that city May 20-24 next. 



The third match between ten-men teams of the New Utrecht Gun 

 Club, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and the Riverton Gun Club of Riverton, N. J., 

 will be shot on Wednesday, Jan. 15, on the grounds of the Riverton 

 Gun Club. The match is at 15 live birds per man, 29yds. everybody. 



Are you going to San Antonio? That's about ihe most common re- 

 mark hereabouts just now. The Northern contingent will be a strong 

 one, both in point of numbers and in shooting powers. Added money 

 to the amount of $2,000 cannot fail to attract the boys. 



Bert Claridge, one of the best shots of the Baltimore Shooting 

 Association, made a good record on Dec. 13, the second day of the 

 Fairview Gun Club's tournament at Lancaster, Pa. In three 10-bird 

 races at live birds he scored 29 out of 30. 



Edward Banks. 



The Lancaster Tournament. 



Lancaster, Pa., Dec. 13.— To-day was the second day of the Fair- 

 view Gun Club's tournament. The programme for the day consisted 

 of four 10-bird races at live pigeons. The scores in the various events 

 were: 



No. 1 : Farmer 9, Martin 8, Benner and Paine 7, Johns and Brant 6, 

 Young 3, Garber 1. 



No. 3: Coldren, Claridge and Gent 9, Penrose, Esterly and Russell 

 6, MyerH and Zellers 5. 



No. 3: Franklin and Claridge 10, Coldren and Gent 9, Penrose, Es- 

 terly, Dommell and Adams 8, Clover 7, Russell 6, Myers 4. 



No. 4: Claridge 10, Clover and Franklin 9, Gent 8, Taylor 7, Adams 

 and Penrose 6, Anderson and Myers 4, Hart 3. 



The Interstate's Pro ramme for 1896. 



Our report of the Interstate Association's stockholders' annual 

 meeting, held on Tuesday, Dec. 17, was given in full in last week's 

 iSBue. At the time of going to presp, however, the board of directors 

 had not yet decided upon a plan of action for 1896. 



Mr. Shaner, the manager, suggested that, in view of the success that 

 had attended the Association's efforts in the past season, the Associa- 

 tion confine its attention, for one more season at least, to the South. 

 He put forv. ard the claim of the Palmetto Gun Club, of Charleston, S. 

 O, to another Interstate tournament on its grounds, and recom- 

 mended that the tournament and classification committee act favor- 

 ably on the club's application, in consideration of the way in which 

 the bad weather spoiled the tournament in Charleston in October, 

 1894. 



A letter from A. R. Rose, of Salida, Col., was also read by the man- 

 ager. In his letter Mr. Rose urged that the Association adopt his 

 system of dividing purses with a view to giving it a practical trial. 

 The system was thoroughly explained to the board of directors, 

 examples worked out by Mr. Rose being placed before it in order that 

 the board might the more readily understand the system. It was 

 evident that the directors thought well of the system, as they de- 

 cided to give it a trial at some of the Association's tournaments in 

 1896. 



It was also decided by the board that the programme for the Grand 

 American Handicap meeting be drawn up on these lines: All events of 

 10 birds or more except the Grand American Handicap should be 

 class shooting ; all events of less than 10 birds should be high guns. 

 There will be three sets of traps in use: one for the Grand American 

 Handicap, another for sweeps, and a third for miss-and-out events. 



The board was also unanimous that the traps over which the Grand 

 American Handicap are shot should be King traps. This was ordered 

 because it was thought best that the traps for this event should be 

 those which were commonly in use all over the country and to which, 

 therefore, the public were accustomed. 



A motion was made and carried unanimously that an admission fee 

 of 50 cents per day to witness the shooting be charged alike to all ex- 

 cept those who had entered in the Grand American handicap. It was 

 positively stated that such admission fee (gate money) could not pos- 

 sibly be construed as taking away from any shooter his amateur 

 status, since he would in no way be benefited by the same. The Hur- 

 lingham Club, the Gun Club of London, Circle des Patineurs, of Paris, 

 etc , all charge a round sum as admission fee to witness the shooting 

 at their grounds. 



This concluded the business before the board of directors. 



CLASSIFICATION AND TOURNAMENT COMMITTEE. 



The classification and tournament committee met Dec. 18 at the 

 store of Von Lengerke & Detmold. The chief business was the selec- 

 tion of the place where the Grand American Handicap was to be held. 

 Elkwood Park was decided upon. The dates are April 1-3. It was de- 

 cided to charge everybody except contestants in the Grand American 

 Handicap the sum of 50 cents per day for admission to the grounds, 

 as decided upon by the board of directors ; but it was also agreed that 

 each shooter upon paying his first entrance fee each day into any 

 sweepstake event shot on the grounds should be credited in that 

 entrance fee with the 50 cents he had paid as admission fee to the 

 park. 



The circuit for 1890 was arranged as follows, subject, of course, to 

 alteration: Six target tournaments to be held during the season, three 

 of them in theSouthern States acd three in the New England States- 

 Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont; the three last being conditional 

 upon the Association receiving applications from gun clubs in those 

 States warranting the holding of such tournaments. 



Elkwood Park, N. J., is located on the New York & Long Branch 

 R. R., about a mile from Branchport station and two miles from Long 

 Branch. Two trains each way will be stopped at the platform at the 

 park gates, thus doing away with the necessity of a transfer of guns 

 and shellbags to hacks. At Branchport and at Long Branch there is 

 plenty of good hotel accommodation. The fare from New York over 

 either road is $1 50 the round trip. 



Lynchburg Gun Club. 



Lynchburg, Va., Dec. 11.— Messrs. Nelson, Dornin and Scott, three 

 members of the Lynchburg Gun Club, braved the snow and cold wind 

 that blew over the shooting grounds and made the following scores 

 at the club's weekly shoot:

A FAREWELL TO EMPIE. 



Dec. 17.— This afternoon the members of the club gave a farewell 

 complimentary shoot to our friend and fellow sportsman, B. G. Empie. 

 Mr. Empie goes South in a few days to make his home in New Orleans; 

 he carries with him the best wishes of the many friends he has made

Singac Gun Glub. 



Paterson, N. J., Dec. 17.— The first shoot under the auspices of the 

 new gun club at Singac, N. J., was held to-day on the club's grounds 

 in rear of Arthur Bunn's hotel. The grounds have been much im- 

 proved of late, a shooting platform, tables for scorers, seats for the 

 shooters, etc., having been added to them since the last shoot was 

 held. As Bunn always has a lot of good birds on hand anyone wish- 

 ing to have a little shooting cannot do better than make the trip to 

 Singac. 



To-day the attendance was not very large, but it was decidedly fast 

 Jack Brewer, Jim Elliott, Frank Class, etc. The birds were an excel- 

 lent lot of fast flyers. It will be noticed from the scores that even the 

 cracks seemed to find them hard enough; the pigeons were all blue 

 birds, not a light colored one among the lot. Class won first money 

 alone in the main event with 13 out of 15; Elliott missed his first 3 

 birds and then killed 12 straight by some capital shooting, Eddie Mor- 

 gan, who came late ana borrowed a gun, tieing him for second 

 money. Chris. Wright missed his 1st, 5th, 13th and loth, but took 

 third money alone with 11 out of his 15. Brewer shot in bad luck 

 several of his birds getting away extremely hard hit. A peculiar fea- 

 ture of the event was the fact that Ave out of the seven shooters 

 missed their first birds; at the end of the 5th round Class was high 

 with 4 out or 5. Brewer's handicap of 33yds. was very severe consid- 

 ering the character of the birds. Elliott, of course, was shooting his 

 Winchester; his mark was 32yds. . 



After the main event— the New York contingent had to leave to 

 catch a train— a couple of handicap sweeps were shot, with the result 

 that Morgan won the first with 4 out of 5, Chris. Wright taking the 

 second with a straight score of 5. Out of the 150 birds trapped during 

 the day, 43 were scored lost. Scores: 6 



No. 1, 15 live birds, $10 entrance, handicap rise, 50yds. boundary
