WILMINGTON, Del., Jan. 27.— The revolver match— or as it 

 turned out the pistol- revolver match— between E. J. Darlington, 

 bf Wilmington, Del., and N. A. Hughes, of William sport. Pa., has 

 been concluded at the Healdmoor Range. Mr. Hughes, it will he 

 remembered, rauks among the best amateur shots in the country, 

 and it was expected that he woUld win the nmteh, but his lead 

 was great.lv increased by using a Stevens .22^eaL, lOin. barrel 

 pistol, which is a great advantage over a target revolver of even 

 ,83-cal. Mr. Hughes has heretofore shot with a Smith & Wesson 

 ,32-41 target revolver, and it was supposed that he. would use it in 

 this match, which would have placed the competitors upon an 

 etjual footing. Mr. Darlington was not in good loriu for shooting 

 and Ins scores not near up to his mark, which nlso accounts for 

 the wide margin between the scores. Following are the scores in 

 detail at 50yds., sta ndard American target:

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20.— The inclement weather to-day 

 caused a Hunt attendance at Shell Mound and Harbor View. At 

 the former place some good scores were made at SCOyds. F. O. 

 Young and Antbony Johnson shot 50 shots with a .44 caliber 

 Smith & Wesson revolver to decide who was the champion of the 

 State. When snooting the two gentlemen bad frequently to stop 

 on account of the heavy rain and changes of light. Mr. Young 

 won by a good score. Mr. Johnson having dropped out in the 

 early part of the contest. The range was 150ft. Following is Mr. 

 Young's record:

 more than once his best center is taken, and it is measured by a 

 machine invented by Mr. Dornbier, a member, which measures 

 l-2000th of an inch. , In the California Schuetzen Club Mr. Waller

CHICAGO, 111., Jan. 26.— In the Deficiency Appropriation bill 

 sent to Congress, Secretary Fairchild asks ror $5,000 for the con- 

 struction ot a rifle range at Fort Sheridan. When passed, work 

 on the range will begin as soon as the weather will permit. At 

 Fort Sheridan great carehas to be exercised, and enta ils the build- 

 ing of an earthen bullet stop about 40ft. above the ground and 

 haying a length of about 500ft. Twelve revolving targets will be 

 placed on the range, and then to shelter the markers a rivetted 



trench must be built, in whioh will be a telephone house. In 



be held thore. The post will also use it. The Question of rifle 

 practice is one Of great importance in the army. "Rifle practice 

 began in 1880," said Lieut. Green at headquarters here, "until 

 which time nothing had been done about it since the war. And 

 when it began a poorer lot of marksmen von never saw. Now. 

 however, the army can, as a whole, shoot very well, Some, of 

 course, are poor, as others are particularly fine, but the average 

 is exeelleut. At first a standard was fixed, and wheu a ttained the 

 oneB attaining it were classed as 'marksmen' and given a badge. 

 But the average raised rapidly and compelled t he raising of the 

 standard, the attaining of which secures the badge of a 'sharp- 



8 "The 1 regular shoots are at 200, 30d, 500 and 600yds. The first is 

 shot off-hand, the second either kneeling or standing, and the 

 last two lying down. The keenest test of marksmanship is in the 

 skirmish practice. The contestants aie started at the 603yds. 

 point. Thev advance until the bugle sounds, when they fall on 

 their backs, adjust the sights for the distance gauged at rt glance, 

 take into consideration the wind, all in six seconds, when the 

 bugle sounds again and firing begins and is kept up for fifteen 

 seconds, when again the bugle sounds, at which the firing ceases 

 and the contestants proceed toward the target until the 200yds. 

 point is reafcht d, and then they return. From the time they start 

 until they get back they are stopped ten limes and must fire forty 

 shots each, an average of four shots in fifteen seconds. Of course, 

 the nearer the target thev get the better their scores. They there- 

 fore shoot as often as they can during each stop near the target. 

 I have seen them sometimes shoot seven times in fifteen seconds 

 and score 60 per cent. The targets in a skirmish tire are wrought- 

 iron silhouettes the size of a man and covered with black cloth. 

 These are standing, kneeling and lyingdown. Ride practice used 

 to be held four months of the year. Then it was cut down to 

 three, and will, I believe, be cut down this year to two. Each 

 post will select by contest its best men, who will contest with 

 other posts in that department. The twelve best men in the four 

 departments, also selected by contests, will then form the division 

 team, which will come to Fort Sheridan, if the ranee be built, 

 sometime in August or September." 



POSSIBLY A PENCIL SCORE.— A New York paper prints as a 

 cablegram from Londou the following bit of queer news about 

 the doughty knight of the pistol: London, Jan. 21.— Chevalier 

 Paine, the pistol shot, modestly anuounces that he has gained the 

 result sought after hy alchemists for centuries, and that he is 

 prepared, when backed by a sufficient amount of capital of course, 

 to transmute metals to any amount. Copper, with a little silver 

 added, will be turned into pure gold, thus realizing the dreams of 

 the less fortunate enthusiasts of the'mlddle ages, who generally 

 died in despair at being unable to solve the. secret. To be sure 

 the chevalier has a rival in the person of M. Tiffcreau, of Paris, 

 who after 40 years of chemical labors has also discovered the val- 

 uable process, and will enter at once upon the manufacture of 

 gold from the baser ores. 



THE TRAP.

THE SHOOT1NG~AT PlUE BROOK. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I had hoped to find, through some of the sporting papers, a 

 truthful account of the "accident" at Pino Brook, referred to in 

 your last issue, with some comments thereon* bat as none have 

 appeared I am led to believe the accounts as published have been 

 furnished either through ignorance of dosigu, as no one at all 

 conversant with the facts could possibly connect the Passaic 

 River bridge with the grounds where the shooting took p' ace. 

 The sad event, instead of being classified among those mysterious 

 accidents for which no one can be held accountable, was in reality 

 a most outrageous piece of carelessness, and the whole matter 

 should receive a most searching investigation, including the pur- 

 pose tor which such shoots ate gotten up. 



A pigeou shoot in the country at this season of the year means 

 a "gang," and when run in connection with a "hotel" it simply 

 means a "led hot gang." The grounds are situated along the 

 public highway or turnpike and within 100yds. of the hotel. On 

 account of the low nature of the grounds, the turnpike is some 

 feet above the level, where the traps are set, and is less than 

 80yds; from the traps, hence all left quartering birds are in direct 

 line of the turnpike and all traveling is exposed to the firing, not 

 only of the mau at the trap, but from the t.rmy of skirmishers 

 whb have posted themselves along the highway and brush fences 

 surrounding the grounds. 



The "accident" occurred here, and not on the river bridge, 

 which is over a quarter mile from the grounds. A low left quar- 

 tering bird was trapped and missed b.v the shooter, and as it 

 skimmed the turnpike it passed between three skirmishers, two 

 standing together and one twenty-five yards away, and the two 

 firing together killed the bird and came very near killing the 

 third man also. Both charges struck him, as the different'sizes 

 of shot proved, one using No. 5 and the other No. 7. The wounded 

 man is Calvin Decker* not Smith, and some hopes are entertained 

 for lecovery. Comment is unnecessary when the whole event is 

 taken in to consideration. Why should such gatherings be allowed 

 and country boys and men duped into sweepstakes where their 

 dollars are -tire to be gobbled up by a few stools of the hotel mau, 

 and their dimes go into the bar-room drawer? A hollow iron 

 tube filled with powder and shot is dangerous enough even w.ien 

 handled by the most careful, but when re-inforced with "Jersey 

 lightning," it and the owner should be banished beyond the 

 township limits. Anti-Gang.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 26.— Capt. Bogardus talks of opening [a 

 shooting school here as be considers it, he says, a good shooting 

 center. F. C. Mustin, known as the "boy wonder," of this citv, 

 and Walter Keenan, the youngest expert shot of Dayton, O., are 

 matched to shoot at 100 single bluerocks and clav-pigeona, half 

 and half, at Dayton, O., Washington's birthday, Feb. 22. Both 

 rank above .90 in average, and the match, if shot, will be o-ie of 

 the most interesting in an amateur way on record. Young Keenan 

 has a record of 92 out of 100 to his credit;, made at the last Cleve- 

 land (Ohio) tournament, aud Mustin has a reputation of being 

 one of the most reliable sweepstake shooters in the State,
