PETMECKY.— Fred Petmecky, a sixteen-year old son of J.C. 

 Petmeckv, the gun cleaner inventor, has been attracting atten- 

 tion by bis rifle shooting in Austin, Texas. A correspondent 

 writes "that the voung man will by and by give Carver a hard 

 push for his laurels, and inquiries begin to reach us from Texas 

 asking if there is any American championship medal tor rifle 

 shooting at flying objects. 



THE TRAP. 



Scores for publication should, be made out on the printed blanks 

 prepared by the Forest and Stream, and furnished grans to club 

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

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



A SHOOTING GROUND FOR NEW YORK. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



In connection with "Bedford's" communication m your issue of 

 March 29, at the request of a number of parties who have taken 

 an interest in the matter, a meeting will be held at the office of 

 the Atlantic Ammunition Co., Limited, 291 Broadway, on Friday, 



all times; where any one may have practice, and where shooting 

 matches and public exhibitions may be held, and the public ac- 

 commodated and made comfortable. 



Any one feeling an interest in this matter, and the advancement 

 of such an enterprise, is invited to attend this meeting. 



New York, May 2. Charles Richards. 



Editor Forest and stream: 



It seems to me that the ideas advanced by "Bedford,' in your 

 issue of March 22, are deserving of serious and favorable consider- 

 ation at the hands of everv good, bad or indifferent shooter in the 

 immediate vicinity of New York city. I take it for granted that 

 the new grounds will not seriously conflict with the true interests 

 of any club having grounds of their owu. Why should it? Are 

 not most of the members of our clubs very indifferent shooters, 

 and is not the reason because they do not practice, and is not the 

 reason because thev do not practice because the grounds, etc., are 

 not acces3ihle, and if they are. then generally no one is near to 

 lend a band or engage in friendly competition and thus make it 

 interesting? Now, I take it if there were more good average 

 shooters then there would be more interest shown in matches and 

 more entries in the ordinary matches of the various clubs. I 

 think the reason that many clubs are languishing is that the 

 members are tired of being unable to make a respectable score 

 and have given up shooting altogether. Now, will not this pro- 

 posed shooting ground be a help instead of a hindrance to the 

 neighboring clubs'? I belong to a club now, and practice occasion- 

 ally, but would welcome a nevr-by practice ground, and might 

 then become expert enough to go up and clean out the whole club. 

 I don't care about the tournaments, except as a means to an end, 

 viz., making the grounds self-supporting, but I think it very 

 strange if a great metropolis like New York is unable to support 

 two or more properly conducted tournaments, on holidays, even 

 at the same time. At any rate, let us have one place for practic- 

 ing, even if we do not turn out to be Bogarduses or Carvers; two 

 hundred 70 or 80 record men are better for the cause than ten Erbs 

 or Stices. . „ ' 



I am in the banking business, and of slight frame, and unable to 

 stand very exhausting physical labor such as many sports call 

 for, and I find the excitement and invigorating outdoor life of the 

 shooter just the thing for me, and wish I had begun years ago. 

 Let our clerks and sedentary persons learn to shoot. C. M.

CANADIAN TRAP NOTES. 



TORONTO, April 25.— Mr. "Alexander" Wyuess,in the presence 

 of a large number of trigger exports at McDowaU's grounds, 

 Kingston road to-day, undertook to break 90 out of 100 Peoria 

 blackbirds at 18yds. rise, for a wager of f 50 against Mr. Cbas. 

 Casey. The feat had never been attempted before, and very few 

 expected that Mr. Wyncss would accomplish what he had backed 

 himself to do, but he proved himself to be one of the best, if not 

 the best, artificial bird shots in America. Not only were the 

 birds broken, but 90 of (hem were blown to smoke, while the other 

 10 were well hit. The score stood 100 straight. The wind blew 

 rather fresh across the traps at the outset, but gradually went 

 down until almost a calm prevailed. Mr. Wyncss might have 

 left the grounds a rich man had he taken all the money that was 

 offered even against bis breaking nine-tenths of the century. 

 Mr.Wyness.it might be mentioned, has been in the habit of 

 shooting under the name of "Alexander," and it is his scores that 

 have been so often of late at the bead of the lists, both of the 

 Toronto and Owl Gun Club shoots. He is a marvel, and there is 

 talk of getting up a syndicate to back him against any man in 

 the world, if Mr. Wyncss can be induced to consent. 



Ottawa, May 3.— The Ottawa Gun Club shot to-day in beauti- 

 ful weather a sweepstake at fifteen birds which resulted as fol- 

 lows: H. Street 13, J. Stewart 13, J. Manuel U, A. Cameron 11, 

 E. Smith 9, W. H. Tracy 8. In the sweepstake at five birds A. 

 Throop, of Huberts, J. Stewart and E. Smith broke their five 

 straight, but Throop won in the shoot off. 



Toronto May 3.— Mr. McDowall's shooting tournament opened 

 at his grounds on the Kingston road this morning. Two clay 

 pigeon shots were shot off, also a large number of sweepstakes 

 matches, Messrs. Wayper, Smith and George coming well to the 

 front. On account of the high wind that prevailed the scores 

 were rather low. 



.Shoot No. 1, at 10 clay pigeons, 3 traps; 18yds, rise; six prizes:

Montreal, May 5.— The Dominion Gun Club grounds were 

 well patronized this afternoon by a large number of gentlemen 

 to witness the competition in the telegraphic match, between 5 

 members of the Dominion Club and 5 members of the Owl Gun 

 Club of Toronto. The shooting, on the whole, was of the best. 

 Mr. Lumsden, after attending at the Montreal Gun Club shoot, 

 where he secured second prize, immediately started on foot across 

 country to the Dominion grounds, where, on his arrival, he 

 immediately took up his position and shot his 20 birds off the 

 reel, killing 14 of them, a first-class performance under the cir- 

 cumstances. The grand total was 79. Dr. Barnes officiated as 

 referee for the Toronto Club. After the shoot a rush was made 

 for the Balmoral Hotel, where a telegram was despatched to 

 Toronto giving the result of the Dominion Club shoot. The 

 rephy was anxiously awaited, it being generally expected that 

 the Owl Club would be the victors. Great was the rejoicing 

 when the telegram was read out, giving the Toronto team's total 

 as 68, or a majority of 11 birds for the home club. A return 

 match will be shot in the near future. The following are the 

 names and scores:

Montreal, May 5.— A very large number of gentlemen from 

 the sister gun clubs were present to-day at the Montreal Gun 

 Club Grounds, at Cote St. Antoine, to witness the most en- 

 joyable shoot of the season. The weather was not of the best 

 and a strong, cold, easterly wind blew all the afternoon. Count 

 Maze, of Paris, gradually forged ahead by seme fine shooting, 

 and landed the wiuner by two birds, being heartily cheered by 

 the spectators. Messrs. Lumsden and Masse tied for second 

 honors, and on the shoot-off Lumsden won by one bird, Mr. 

 Masse taking third prize. Mr. W. F. Robertson, who won fourth 

 honors, began in grand style, killing seven straight. Four of the 

 competitors tied for the fifth prize, and on the shoot off again 

 tied, necessitating a third shoot, when Mr. E. Octa ve secured it 

 by killing three straight. After the open match had been de- 

 cided, sweepstakes were the order of the day. The onerous du- 

 ties of scorer and referee were carried out to the satisfaction of 

 all by Messrs. Geo. Boucher and W. W. Austin. The following is

SAN FRANCISCO, April 29.— One of the largest gatherings of 

 the season assembled to-day on the San Bruno Pigeon Grounds, 

 to wind up the clay and live bird pigeon tournament. At noon 

 the wind came howling with all its might from the ocean, and 

 swept over the grounds with hurricane speed. Out of the 26 en- 

 tries for the live bird shoot not a man came out with a clean 

 score. Frank Bassfordof Vacaville, Al. Donaldson ef Suisun and 

 Fanning of this city, each scored 11 kills, and they decided to 

 divide equally the first 3 prizes. The fourth prize was shot off 

 between the men who scored 10. The birds were a miserable lot 

 and the cry for "another bird" was quite frequently heard. The 

 judge, Mr* Eyre, had a most arduous task. It was late in the 

 evening when the last shot sounded and the last bird retrieved by- 

 one of a promiscuous lot of dogs that were allowed the liberty of 

 the grounds. The first shoot of the day was at 6 live birds, $2.50 

 entrance, divided into 00 and 10 per cent. Score: 



Delmas 111211—0 Dunshee 211220—5 



Covkendall 111111-6 



The principal shoot of the day now came with 20 entries. It 

 was at 12 live birds, entrance $5, Hurlingham rules, 80yds.
