THE PAINE— BENNETT PROTEST. 



THE Chevalier Paine accompanied by J. T. B. CoUins as coun- 

 sel and referee Bull with Judge Dexter and A. C. Gould ap- 

 peared before Secretary Shepherd of the N. R. A. on Tuesday 

 morning and spent an hour in explaining the respective positions 

 of the two pistol shooters, on the protests already given in full in 

 the Forest and Stream: The secretary took all the papers and 

 written statements, listened to all the talk and said he would de- 

 cide after considering the Question carefully and send his deci- 

 sion to the stakeholder. 



demanded in the articles of agreement. The terms of the match 

 were that the revolvers should be a Smith & Wesson .44cal., Rus- 

 sian model. There is no mention made of any particular sight. 

 1 understand that m revolver competitions the description of this 



tions with this pistol. Both the competitors used front sights of 

 this description, there being but little difference between them, 

 and I see no reason why one sight was not as fully within the 

 rules as the other, and why both were, not admissible. I do not 

 think that the regulations of the N. R. A. in regard to time allowed 

 competitors to shoot at Creedmoor with rifles apply to a match of 

 this description. There is no limitation in the rules or is any en- 

 forced in regard to the time allowed in revolver competitions', nor 

 do I consider that the words "100 shots a day" can be construed to 

 mean 100 shots in 100 minutes. I therefore dec idc that the protests 

 cannot be sustained, and that Mr. Bennett is the winner of the 

 match. Yours very respectfully, John S. Shepherd, Sec.N. R. A. 



The sight shot with by both contestants is shown in the tipper 

 cut, while the military sight which it was elaimedSby the protests 

 should have been used is illustrated in the lower one of the two 

 sights shown. Both sights are put on the pistols sent out by the 

 Smith & Wesson factory and both can stand good service. 



MR. SHEPHERD'S DECISION. 



N. R. A. Office, New V'ork, June 26.— A. Q. McVey, Esq., Boston 

 Herald: The Paine-Bennett dispute in the recent revolver match 

 having been left to me for final settlement, I have to-day heard 

 the case as presented by the respective judges, Messrs. Dexter and 

 Fellows and Mr. Bull the referee, in my judgment the provisions 

 in the terms of the match, that it should be "play or pay"' and 

 that "either party failing to observe any of the conditions herein, 

 agreed to shall forfeit all money deposited," required that each 

 contestant should fire 600 shots. Chevalier Paiue having refused 

 to do this he thereby forfeited his right to the stakes. It is im- 

 material in mv opinion whether Mr. Bennett used a proper pistol 

 or not. Chevalier Paine should have shot the match through if 

 he intended to claim the stakes. If the rules of the association 

 are to be strictly adhered to the protests are of no value, for No. □ 

 of the general regulations plainly says "all protests must be made 

 in writing in duplicate." The protest of June 7 was against 

 the sights used bv Mr. Bennett as pot being what, was

The artificial flights were to the right of the live bird traps, and

 ceived considerable attention. This was under the control of

June 30,— The second day's tournament of the Missouri State 

 Sportsman's Association commenced by finishing the team shoot, 

 begun the day before, of which a full and complete score will be 

 found below. Following this came the third shoot of the meet- 

 ing, in which 09 representatives of the various clubs participated. 

 This shoot occupied the rest of the day on the main range. A con- 

 tinuous sweepstake shooting was kept up all day at the Keystone 

 targets on the artificial flight range, but there wore no regular 

 purses or entries, a nd. it was not on the programme as a feature of 

 the tournament. The weather was fine for good marksmanship, 

 although a, smart breeze was stirring during the middle part of 

 the day. About, 4 o'clock the shooting began to get somewhat 

 wilder than it had hecn earlier, and as the sun commenced to 

 make things pretty hot about that time, some of the sportsmen 

 claimed that their poor success in killing birds was due to the shot 

 being melted in the. air before it reached the mark. 



Team shoot, open to any number of teams of two from clubs 

 members of State Association, 5 birds at 26yds. rise, 5 birds at 

 31yds. rise, plunge traps; entrance $10, including birds; divided

June HI — The third day of the State shoot at the fair groundr. 

 was favored with a good attendance. The heavy rain and wind 

 storm checked the shooting for a while, but before the last drops 

 of water had fallen the shooters again resumed pigeon popping. 

 Several tents and awnings that were being used by the sports- 

 men were blown down, and for a time it looked as though they 

 were going to be blown out of the grounds. The State team 

 medal, one of the most interesting events on the progra m me, was 

 shot and captured by the Keystone Gun Club of Cameron. 



Mr. J. P. Shulte officiated as officer of the day, Mr. J. R. Stice 

 acted as referee in the team shoot and Mr. Kulage performed the 

 same duty in the double bird shoot. The following are the scores 

 of the shooting. Live birds were shot from plunge traps. Arti- 

 ficial flights were shot under National Association rules, with ex- 

 rep! ion of t raps, only three being used:
