FOREST AND STREAM 



I May 3, 1888. 



CINCINNATI, April 24 —The Baudle-Wick two days' inanimate 

 target, live sparrow and live pigeon shoot, which opened at the 

 Independent (inn Club grounds to-day, proved a success. The 

 sparrows especially proved a surprise, all being especially line 

 flyers, and, owing to their wonderful gameness and speed, were 

 the cause of much merriment to the shooters present. The spar- 

 row shoot was the first of consequenc e ever held here, audit was, 

 thoroughly so, a success. The shooting feature was the tie off- 

 shoot between Roots and McPhee, the former hailing from 

 Indiana and the latter from Kentucky. Local shooters held their 

 own, though many outsiders in the thirteen odd matches shot 

 held their own in a way to demonstrate other shooters existed 

 outside of Ohio. Many shooters present, both local and visiting, 

 are shooting under assumed names.

WASHINGTON, April 20.— The first of a series oi twelve 

 matches for the championship of the Capital City Gun Club was 



mot here Thursday afternoon, 10th inst., the contestants being E. 



j. Mills, Wnt. Wagner and Seymour Cunningham. The condi- 

 tions governing the championship contest are twelve matches, at 

 30 single and 10 pairs Cleveland blue rocks, 5 traps and N. G. A. 

 rules. The day was very unfavorable for good scores, a high wind 

 blowing from the southeast in the face of the shooters, tite smoke 

 so blinding them as to make it very difficult to see the second Mid 

 in double shooting. Mr. Mills lias, for a number of years past, 

 been a strong advocate of the 12-gauge gun for trap shooting, and 

 his excellent scores go far toward demonstrating the correctness 

 of his judgment. He shoots a 12-bore L. C. Smith, weighing "lbs. 

 14oz., with ;> l Ai drams F.F.F.G. Orange rifle powder, aridTMoz. No. 

 8 Tatham's shot. His opponants both used 10-bores, Wagner a 

 Lefever and Cunningham a Premier Scott. Wagner usedSchultze 

 powdei throughout the match, while the contestants used it only 

 m double shooting. The next match will occur on May 3. Fol- 

 lowing are the scores:

A BAT BONANZA- ^Etna, Kan., April 23.- Editor Forest and 

 Stream: I know of a cave in the Indian Territory, adjoining this 

 county, which during the summer months contains millions of 

 common house bats; and since they are easily ('aught, and qan b| 

 hipped in close confinement; why can they not be used for trap 

 jhooiing? Think over it. Think how they fly, and that there are 

 no tea! hers to soil in transportation, and they can be furnished 

 as cheap as clay pigeons and in any quantity. If you think there 

 is anything in it let me know.— S. Wagner. 



WELLINGTON, Mass., April 19.— The twelfth and final contest 

 for the Climax diamond badge, held by J. F. C. Swift, took place 

 on the grounds of the Wellington Club to-day. There was alarge 

 attendence of gunners present from the various sporting sections 

 of New England. Eager, Beaudry and Wheeler had each won the 

 handsome trophy twice, and it was almost certain that one of 

 these gunners would carry off the prise. Wheeler proved to be 

 the successful man, but he had to make the fine score of 19 out of 

 20 hi rds, as there were three 18s and two 17s. Climax diamond

SAN FRANCE-CO, April 21.— The San Francisco Gun Club was 

 out in full force to-day at the Bird's Point shooting grounds. The 

 sport was lively, and some clever shots were made. The only set- 

 back of the clay was a strong breeze that carried the wounded 

 birds outside the bounds, and consequently several shooters lost 

 points. Following is the score: 



Orr 011021001210-7 Gillette 10111 1001122-9 



Ewing 121021210012—9 Webster ...210200110100 6

Leviston 001120200311—7 



After the match the usual "freeze-out" games were begun. The 

 admission was £2.50, and in the shoot some of the best men of the 

 field entered for the first contest. Thev were Ewing, Wattles, 

 Jellet, GiUette, Webster and Pixley. Ewing shot first and killed 

 his bird with the second barrel. Wattles followed, but his bird 

 was a wiggler, and although feathers flew in every direction the 

 second barrel failed to bring it down and the pigeon (lew trium- 

 phant, though injured, into a neighboring field, where small hoys 

 capt ured it. Webster "froze out" at the first shot, Gillette at the 

 third and Ewing followed at the fourth. The match was then 

 between Pixley and Jellet, and it was very close, both men doing 

 excellent shooting. Finally Fixley's last bird was lost and Jellet 

 won the match and the money. Two more matches were arranged 

 one between Ewing, Gillette, Jellet, Wattles and Webster, which 

 was won by the two latter gentlemen, and another between the 

 same five gentlemen, which was won by Ewing and Webster. 



BROOKLYN, April 17. The members of the New York German 

 Gun Club, the majority of whom are residents of Brooklyn doing 

 business in New York, had a day's outing to-day at Hurler's Park, 

 Jamaica Plank Road, L. I. This club is an old shooting organiza-

 Dorp, Staten Island, but, not being satisfied with the arrange- 

 ments there, they decided to obtain more suitable quarters for 

 their shooting, and finally selected Chris Hurler's (old Dexter's) 

 Park, on the Jamaica Plank road. Sixteen of the members were 

 on hand bent on having a day's fun, some of them being on the 

 ground as early as 9 o'clock, and at once commenced to shoot at 

 blue rocks for practice. At 11 o'clock the regular shoot was com- 

 menced, the conditions being to shoot in squads at 10 birds each, 

 usual club handicap, for a diamond badge. The birds supplied by 

 Bondan were first class, strong, fast flyers, and a good many es- 

 caped, although hard hit. Alter shooting at 5 birds each an inter- 

 val of forty-five minutes was held for lunch, during which a band 

 of music that had been engaged entertained the members with 

 some of the most popular German tunes. The full score of the 

 shoot is as f oUows:
