 WHITE ELEPHANT RANGE.— The second off-hand Massa- 

 chusetts target match at the famous WMfe Elephant rifle range, 

 Broadway between Thirtieth and Thirtv-flrst streets, New York, 

 resulted in another victory for Mr. Hiscoe, who was also the fortu- 

 nate winner of the first contest at rhis target. Mr. Benedict, who 

 was the winner of the third prize in the same contest, pulled up 

 to a very good second, being only one small point behind first 

 place and winning the second medal with the line score of 243 

 points out of a possible 252, which was the highest score made in 

 the last match. The followi ng are fi\ e of the leading scores:

The siver match at the silver coin target, with rest which was 

 commenced Jan. 28 and ends Feb. H, promises to be. very close and 

 exciting. This match is for five elegant silver badges. 



FR ANKFORD Pa. Jan 31 -With the wind blowing a 30-mile 

 gale the Hart rant t Rifle Club faced the targets on their range at 

 Frankford this afternoon. Messrs. Doyle, Steiber and Dnih -y 

 were guests of the club during the day. Mr. Doyle shot a .45-cal 

 Springfield, and Messrs. Steiber and Dailevused a ,.32-10 Wurffleiir 

 not being used to the rifles their scores were as good as could be 

 expected. Mr. Stembeisser's remarkable score was made with a 

 .22-cal. \\ urfflem gallery rifle, U. M. C. ammunition. This rifle 

 only weighs 7Ulhs. and lias the plain open sights that are used in 

 the galleries, all shooting beiug on American standard target*

 set for him, ha ving to make a hullseye in the tenth «hot to win 

 the match. Both scores are the highest that have been made

 place March 1, at the Lakeside range. 



HARTFORD, Ct., Feb. 3.— To-day was a superb one just the 

 day to make the novel match between the 10 shooters of the Colt 

 Gun Club against 10 bullseye scorers of the Franklyn Rifle Club 

 very enjoyable. The match opened at the Franklyn" range at 1-30 

 P. M., the conditions being that the shots at the targets should 

 count exactly what they showed on the target, and that every 

 clay pigeon hit should count 10. It was perhaps a trifle in the 

 favor of tho riflemen, for a clay-pigeon if hit at all is usually 

 broken, and that counted 10, while to score 10 on a target bullseye 

 shots are necessary at 200yds. The following was the' score by 

 teams:

TORONTO, Jan. 31.— The annual meeting of the Toronto Gun 

 Club was held in the club rooms to-night with President George 

 Pearsall in the chair. About 50 members attended. Eight new 

 names were added to the roll, and the club goes on for another 

 year with very bright prospects. These officers were elected: 

 President, Aid. C. C. small; Vice-President, Geo H. Briggs- Sec- 

 retary, W. MiUer; Treasurer, R. Moldrum. The annual match 

 between teams chosen by the president and vice-president will 

 be shot in a few weeks. 



ZETTLER CLUB, Jan. 30.— The match between the Our Owes 

 of Newark, and the Zettlers. of New York, on the hitter's range 

 to-night, resulted in favor of the New Yorkers. At the finish the 

 scores were 2,374 for the Zettlers to 2,341 for the Our Owns. Snel- 

 len's 245 was high for the evening. Dorrler and Flack made 243 

 each for the Zettlers. Neuman 323, and Weeks 221 were low men. 

 After the match a fine supper was served by the Zettlers, the 

 principal dish being a 311b. porker, which was recently won bv 

 Mr, Dorrler in a competitive shoot. 



The following letter received by the United States Cartridge 

 Co., Lowell, Mass., from Mr. F. S. Lindslev, Supf. American Wood 

 Powder Co., West Hoboken, N. J., speaks for itself; "I am per- 

 fectly willing that you should use my name to indorse your 

 shells, and especially your new primer for American wood pow- 

 der, and 1 heartily recommend your shells to wood powder shoot- 

 ers. As a matter of fact I have recommended your paper shells 

 for the last eighteen montns, and have in that time shot thou- 

 sands of them, and given away thousands of them loaded with 

 wood powder.— Adv. 



THE TRAP. 



Scores for publication should be made out on the printed blanks 

 tirepared by Vie Forest and Stream, and furnished gratis to club 

 secretaries. Correspondents who favor m with dub scores are par- 

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



THE AMERICAN SHOOTING ASSOCIATION. 



A BODY of manufacturers and others having the interests of 

 • rx trap-shooting very much at heart, formed, it will be re- 

 membered, an association last fall for the furtherance of the 

 8 port of trap-shooting. These men were in a position to know 

 that there is a wide disproportion between the consumption of 

 guns, powder, shot and all the et wterce of a shooter's outfit, and 

 the showing made at the various trap meetings. In one sample 

 State, where there are 20,000 shotguns held, it is a good meeting 

 indeed where fifty gather for competition. It was to remedy this 

 state of things that the Association was formed. Those who visit 

 the various big shoots in different parts of the country were 

 agreed that there was need of a radical change in the complexion 

 of these shoots before the amateur would venture out to measure 

 his fairly exerted skill against the methods of tho pot-hunter 

 squad present at all the meetings. It was no longer a test of 

 skill, fairly and squarely, but it was a test of ability at the trap, 

 combined with a clever juggling with the rules as they had been 

 built up, generally by iron-clad precedent, for the benefit, of the 

 trap tricksters. A simple-minded amateur might get up as far as 

 the 8 class in a ten bird shoot, but It was only to find that some 

 expert had dropped back there to meet him; and then in the 

 shoot-off, which was always insisted upon under those circum- 

 stances, the amateur had as much chance as a dove with a hawk. 

 But let two of the hawks fiud themselves in the 8 class together, 

 or facing each other after all the doves had been slaughtered, 

 and then the divide came sharp and sure. 



The Association has several big slices of work cut off for it. In 

 the first place, a set of rules should be formulated, and in them 

 everything should be set down in black and white, and nothing 

 left to irregular precedent. Every man, for instance, should 

 be scored on his shot as made, and many of the present 

 absurd rules, under which a man is scored a miss without having 

 had a shot at a bird, be done away with. "No shot, no bird," 

 would be. a simple peg to hang all the rules for behavior at tho 

 score upon. 



Then comes the question of ties. It were a very simple one, 

 indeed, if every man stepping out to shoot would do his level best 

 with every shot fired. Then the whole question would resolve 

 itself into the clerical one of sorting out the classes, and with a 

 simple miss and out the respected class winners would be deter- 

 mined. Tho application of currant, rule to the present body of 

 trap-shooters does and will keep every amateur out of tho 

 matches. Luck must be brought, in to supplement the trial at the 

 trap; and the introduction of this element of uncertainty will 

 upset the cut and dried plans of those who hit to win or miss to 

 win, as the pots may offer. 



Apart from the amendment of the rules there is a large task for 

 the Association in spending wisely the money which its members 

 have subscribed. One proposition is the organization of the cluts 

 of the country into a number of leagues, determined by State 

 limits, and then when each State has by a series of shoots fixed 

 upon a champion team, to have a central meeting for the placing 

 of the leading National team for the year. Those who urge this 

 scheme have the baseball league system in their minds' eye, and 

 hope by rousing local pride to secure a profitable gate money fol- 

 lowing from the general public. To carry out such a plan would 

 require the sinking of a large capital, while the question of return 

 would be a very uncertain one. Besides, this very plan of rousing 

 trap-shooting interest has been tried before, and in a very large 

 measure has failed. 



Another plan proposed is that of having the Central or National 

 Association place certain sums at the disposal of local clubs for 

 the guaranteeing of matcheB. In this way a. small club, which 

 might not feel ready to give a match with guaranteed purses 

 might turn the risk of loss over to the big association, which 

 could better afford to stand it. Of course in such cases the Asso- 

 ciation would have its own rules in force, and would supervise 

 the conduct of the meeting and gonea-ally look after its interests, 

 while at the same time doing a local benefit in fostering a love for 

 this most delightful form of outdoor sport. By carrying out this 

 line of effort the Association could do a great missionary work- 

 Many local shoots as now conducted are so run as to disgust and 

 deter those who might otherwise be made enthusiastic trap, 

 shooters. There are so many hitches and so much annoyance 

 that a trap meeting becomes a synonym for a grand rumpus, end. 

 ing in a universal growl. It is doubtful whether the Association 

 can so look over the ground as to go with safety into the matter of 

 guaranteeing meetings during the year 1889; but that it is the cor- 

 reot lino of effort the majority of those who know the field will 

 agree. 



For the present season, then, the best plan would seem to be 

 that suggested by some of the members, in having a series of 

 meetings, model gatherings, as it were, carried on in various 

 parts of the country. Five, for instance, would cover the field 

 pretty thoroughly and afford shooters in every sec I ion a chance 

 to attend a meeting near at hand, with the assurance that they 

 would get a fair showing at the honors and profits of the occasion 

 An Eastern meeting at New York or Boston ought to make an 

 enjoyable occasion and satisfy the Association managers that 

 there is a good field among the seaboard shooters. The South has 

 an increasing number of men who love a shotgun and would be 

 pleased to show their proficiency with it at the trap. Mont- 

 gomery, Ala., or Macon, Ga., would either of them prove a good 

 mustering place. Then a Western shoot would or should gather 

 in an army of shooters and make a great stir in the shooting 

 world. Cincinnati, Chicago or Cleveland, with the preference 

 for the first named, would be the locality for this big meet. Up 

 in the Northwest a meetiug at St. Paul or Minneapolis ought to 

 be given for tho benefit of the many marksmen in that region 

 with an assurance of a good representation from further down 

 the Mississippi. Then a Pacific coast meeting at San Francisco 

 would round up the quintette and give the shooters of that stc- 

 tiou a chance to add their share of praise to the Association for 

 having solved the problem of how to run a meeting so that the 

 designing expert should not unchallenged use his ability to gather 

 in the ducats of the confiding inferior shot. 



For the season of 1889 it is hardly likely that much beyond this 

 five tournament plan can he carried out. These meetings might 

 be given dates so as not to conflict with local fixtures, and they 

 will test the temper of shooters generally on the Association rules, 

 while from Fokest and Stukam fair, full and excellent reports 

 of proceedings may be confidently expected. 



THE FORESTER GUN CLUB, of Davenport. Iowa, will hold a. 

 toumamont Feb. 12, 13, 14 and 15. Three regular proganime 

 events at live pigeons will be, shot off each day, and the clay bird 

 matches will be numerous. This tournament will be a big affair. 



UNIONTOWN, Ohio.— A match will be shot at Uniontown, 

 Ohio, on Feb. 22, between teams of twelve men each from the 

 Buckeye Gun Club, of Cairo, and the Brimfield Gun Club. 



CORRY GUN CLUB.

the next meeting, and is in a flourishing condition. They have a 

 weekly shoot on the fair grounds, over the same screen and traps 

 as used at the tournament and all shooting is done under Key- 

 stone rules, which makes things lively and entirely does awav 

 with the oragging and dreary club shoot. The club has only 

 been in practice for six weeks and many of the members prior 

 to that time had never shot a gun, which must be considered in 

 reading t he scores, but they go at it as a pleasant recreation 

 trom business cares and their enthusiasm promises well for their 

 skill m the future. 



The weekly shoots, held on Thursdays, are open to all, club 

 members or otherwise, except that outsiders can not contest for 

 the club medals. However, they can enjoy the sport, and at a 

 A lm £ cost ' as ?n these occasions birds are sold at one cent each. 

 * w . u ru -Jan- 31, the club had as its guest Mr. Brower, 



I * estfield, N Ti . Seventeen members gathered Pt the grounds 

 to test their skill. This is a goodly number for any club shoot, 

 but is extraordinarily so when the weather conditions are consid- 

 ered. 1 he ground was thickly covered with snow and the air 

 heavy with flying flakes driven by a sharp wind from the north- 

 west, which tingled the noses and finger tips aud made exposure 

 to the air anything but pleas nt by contrast with a position near 

 the club house stove. - 



The club shoots for two trophies; one a handsome gold medal, 

 made in the form, of a keystone, for first prize, and a leather 

 medal tor consolation prize. It need hardly be said, however, 

 that the members hanker alter this form of consolation, and it is 

 a constant struggle to keep away lrom the low score Mr Blv- 

 denburg had held the gold medal for five weeks out of the six 

 and seemed almost invincible; many were the jobs put up on him 

 to cause its loss, but on the occasion in question he wa9 some- 

 what, out of trim, not having his own gun to shoot, and so for- 

 feited the prize to Mr. Jess Oliver, who was exceedingly proud of 

 his victory Messrs. Wetmore and Penrose, by reason of their 

 superior skill, are barred trom competition for this medal. 



The leather medal fell to the lot of Mr. Jack Austin but he 

 redeemed himself in the subsequent team shoot, and we venture 

 to prophesy that, he will not be called on tc wear it longer than 

 one week Will Lewis, with his new Smith gun, started in with 

 a straight ten and looked like a sure winner, but unfortunately 

 made a bad break and tailed to get there. The boys want to look 

 out for htm in the future, however, as a look of stern determina- 

 tion was on his counteuaace as we rode homeward. Below are 

 the scores:

The club proposes to hold a two-days' Lournament the latter 

 Dart of each month, trom April to October, open to all when 

 sweepstake matches of various kinds will be shot; and it "is also 

 proposed to form a sort of union gun club, which shall take in 

 residents of five or six places near Corry, practically a league of 

 five or six clubs which shall meet at the different towns at stated 

 intervals. This seems perfectly feasible; at any rate the residents 

 of Corry and ncarhy towns will not lack for opportunity to shoot 

 at the trap the coming season. F. Mason.
