GOULD'S PISTOL BOOK.-A. C. Gould, editor of Ttiflf, has 

 gathered into book form much that has recently been published 

 by him upon the modern American pistol and revolver. It makes 

 a book of some 140 pages, with many illustrations of weapons and 

 the manner of holding. He covers the arms themselves with ex- 

 tended descriptions, speaks of ammunition and then of the scores 

 made with a set of shooting rules for revolver clubs. He con- 

 fesses in the preface that he shared the general belief that it was 

 impossible to do satisfactorily fine shooting with a pistol b»vond 

 a few yards, and still more impossible with the ordinary revolver. 

 Tests and experiment and the rousing of a sharp competition all 

 united to prove, that there were great possibilities both in the 

 pisiol and revolver. Mr. Gould first takes up the American re- 

 volvers as a class and very properly condemns much of the cheap 

 shooting junk with which the country is deluged. He takes up 

 in turn the leading makes and gives all necessarv information 

 about them in catalogue form. He discusses sights and finds 

 much to condemn; then ammunition, and finds great improve- 

 ment within a very recent time. Instructive hints are given 

 about reloading ammunition, and then the possibilities of long- 

 rnnge work, even up to 300yds., are eonsider n d, with a wind-op 

 chapter on rules and regulations. The illustrations include the 

 best makes of arms, targets to scale or full size, and then a half 

 dozen prominent shots in position. The book sells at $1 and may 

 be had from the Forest and Stream. 



NEWARK, April 20.— A meeting of members of clubs formerly 

 constituting the Newark Rifle Association, was held at t he K.ssex 

 Hall last evening. The object was to discuss the feasihilitv of 

 pa.rtieipa.ting in the July festival. No definite action was taken, 

 the meeting being adjourned to meet for final action, when Essex. 

 Frelingbuysen, Domestic, Plymouth. Warren, Celluloid and 

 Newark amateurs will be represented. It is desired to get to- 

 gether all the "old-timers" of these clubs and arrange for team 

 and individual shooting during the festival. 



OTTAWA. Anril 18.— Tbe Ottawa Rifle Club elected the follow- 

 ing officers at their annual meeting; President, Major H. F. Per- 

 ley. Headquarters Staff; First Vice-President, F. C. Ligbtfoot; 

 Second Vice-President, Cant, Waldo. G.O.F.G.; Comm'ttee of 

 Management, J. Wright, 43d Batt., Lieut. G. R. White, G.fr.F.O., 

 and James Grant; Secretary-Treasurer, E. B. Sutherland; Audi- 

 tors, J. P. Nutting and J. H. Fairweather. The renorts of the 

 retiring officers showed the club's finances to lie satisfactory, and 

 Major Perley, who occupied the chair, congratulated thememhers 

 on their success during the past season. Few changes will be 

 made in this season's nrogramme, but extra inducements will he 

 offered junior shots. It being found impossible to secure satisfae- 

 factorv results at the 6"0vds- range, that distance will be elimi- 

 nated from i.liis season's Snider competition, except on the occas- 

 ions when the 300 and 100yds. are introduced. The first shoot of 

 the season will be held on May 5. 



THE REVOLVER CHAMPIONSHIP.-Paine and Bennett have 

 at last, come to what seems a definite plan of a match. Thev met 

 in Boston on t.bp 18th and it was aeroed to shoot a, match with re- 

 volvers for $1,000 asme. 600 shots, 100 shots a day for six eonseou- 

 tive da vs. at Springfield, Mnss.. beginning Monday, June 4,1888. 

 and ending Saturday, June. 9. 1888. at a distance of 50 measured 

 yards, on the standard American 200vds. rifle target, revolvers to 

 be the Smith & Wesson, .44-cal.. Russian model, with 31b. pull, 

 and n"t over 6}^ln. barrel; ammunition to be factory-make in un- 

 broken boxes. In addition to the stakes the match to be for the 

 championship of America. The match sball be nlnv or oav. that 

 is. either party failing to observe anv of the conditions shall for- 

 feit all money deposi'ed. Five hundred dollars a, side has been 

 deposited alreadv. The final deposit of £500 per side will he made 

 May 28. Many gentlemen interested in the match are asking whv 

 the entire week's shooting should be confined to Springfield, and 

 theysnggesttbattwodaysshooting.afieasf.be had in Boston. 

 It would seem as if the fairer method would be to have two days 

 at Providence, two days at Boston, and two days on neutral 

 ground at Springfield. 



WM. V. LOWE, tbe muzzleloadpr advocate, has left Syracuse, 

 N. Y., to resume residence at Fitchburg, Mass. 



CREEDMOOR.— Under the usual orders the N. Y. State troops 

 will begin open air practice about the 1st of May. The bill pro- 

 viding for the purchase of the range by the State receives very 

 fa vorable notice in the Legislature, but has not yet become a law. 



THE TRAP. 



Scorn for publication should be made out on the prin*M blanks 

 prepared by the Forest- and Stream, and furnished gratis to club 

 secretaries. Correspondents who favor us with club scores are par- 

 tieularlil requested to write on one side of the paper only. 



THE TROPHY SHOOT. 



TN view of the short notice given and the expressed desire of 

 many clubs to have more time for consideration before enter- 

 ing for the Forest and Stream Decoration Day Trophy, the 

 time for entry has been extended to May 30. Those clubs enter- 

 ing in time to begin shooting on May 15 may do so, and in other 

 respects the conditions of this general test shoot will hold as 

 already announced. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I am in receipt of yours respecting the Forest anu Stream 

 Decoration Day Trophy, and I have looked through the terms 

 and conditions; but there are some things I do not understand as 

 fully as 1 would like to. First— As to targets used; among those 

 allowed are those of the Cleveland Target Company. I assume 

 this to be what we call "blue flrocks," as we understand that 

 they are manufactured by the Cleveland Target Company. You 

 say "Atlantic Ammunition Co., agents." Is there any signifi- 

 cance to be attached to this part of the description of the tar- 

 gets? What I mean is, must we procure the targets to be used 

 From the Atlantic Ammunition Co., agents? Or can we use the 

 blue rock targets made by the Cleveland Target Co., procuring 

 them direct from the company? Second— As to the direction of 

 the birds thrown. You say "fivo at a right angle to the right, 

 etc." Do you mean at a right angle to the line from the shooter 

 to the trap? In most matches that I have seen the targets have 

 been thrown half quartering, or at, an angle of 45°. Am I right 

 in supposing that your requirement is that they shall be thrown 

 straight out to the right and left? Third — You say, "Prizes to be 

 determined on the aggregate of the best three in five shoots." 

 Do you mean by this that each team will shoot five separate scores 

 and then have the privilege of selecting three scores from the 

 Ave? I am in doubt about this, because further on you say, "One 

 score only to be shot," "not the best score selected from a series," 

 and then you say "the Trophy score may be merged with that of 

 another match, if previously announced." What is the meaning 

 of this? It is likely that our gun club will enter in this match if 

 we can have a thorough and distinct understanding of all its 

 conditions and requirements. JA8. J. CLARK, 



Canton, O., April 18. Captain Canton Gun Club. 



[First— It is immaterial where the targets are purchased, pro- 

 vided they are of the standard makes named. Second— The right 



angles are from the line running from shooter to trap. Third- 

 Teams have the privilege of taking best three in five shoots. A 

 team may stand on three scores, if satisfied. "Not the best score 

 of a series" means that the shooters may not shoot an indefinite 

 number of hrds and then pick out a series of 15 as the Trophy 

 score. The Trophy shoot may be merged in a regular club shoot, 

 as, for instance, the first 15 birds in a 35-bird shoot, may stand 

 for the Fokest and Stream Trophy shoot, if so announced.] 



PHILADELPHIA TOURNAMENT. 



THE North End Gun Club, an organization that has now been 

 in existence some seven years, and whose membership num- 

 ber some sixty members, among whom are some of the first citi- 

 zens of Philadelphia, now propose to have a tournament on May
