 PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 17.— The Hartrauft Rifle Club was per- 

 forating the targets to-day at their range at Frank ford, in spite 

 of the rainy day "Old Prob" favored the shooters with. Taking 

 the state of the weat tier into consideration, the scores were ex- 

 tremely gratifying to the members present. Official scores, 10 

 shots, 200yds., American standard target, off-hand:

E. A. PERRY, the author of the "Green Book," so well known 

 to riflemen as an admirably arranged score register, died at Los 

 Angeles, Cal., on the 20th inst. He was for many years employed 

 in the Custom-house in this city. He lost one arm in the Union 

 service at the Wilderness, and Buffered severely from heart fail- 

 ure at times up to the day of hia death from the effects of his 

 wound. Mr. Perry, who in the war was sergeant-major of the 

 Fourteenth Regiment, United States Infantry, was an old mem- 

 ber of the Grand Army Of t he Republic, and was one of the char- 

 ter members of Rankin Post No. 10, of which he was a past com- 

 mander. He went to Los Angeles about a month ago for the 

 benefit, of his health. At Creedmoor his noisy, cheery presence 

 was enjoyed at all the long-range shoots, and the fact of his hav- 

 ing but one arm did not prevent him being an enthusiastic rifle- 

 man and a good shot. 

 CHICAGO, 111., Jan. 21.— The following are the scores of the 



vv. <_. oilier, ni, -ti; ux. liuiau, «o,nii; a., oorenaen, w>, m; n. i^ramp, 



54, 47; C. McCounell, 57. 46. Mr. M. Bolan's score of 69 on count 

 idiots is a remarkably good one, as only three seconds are allowed 

 in which to raise the rifle from below the hip and fire.— E. H.

 the scores of a trap shoot held by the Mak-saw-bas at their club 

 grounds at Davis. Ind., Jan. 12, which was a very pleasant affair 

 all around. Mr. J. Benton Leiter carried off the honors of the

 burgh make, a beautiful gun, lately purchased from an Australian

OTTAWA, Jan. 19.— The St. Hubert's Gun Club this afternoon 

 shot the third competition for the Thompson cup. A change was 

 made in the conditions and the Ligowskys were dispensed with, 

 Peorias being used instead. Great things are expected from the 

 change, but the results did not justify the expectations, as the 

 shooting was poor, and several of the good shots failed to come 

 off. J. Pealauriers shot the best, but Dal ton fell off badly. Thomp-

NORWICH, Conn., Jan. 16.— The Norwich Shooting Club had 

 an impromptu shoot Jan. 15 for four silver prizes— nut bowl, pickle 

 dish, spoon holder, silver cup; for members only. Another of 

 those beautiful April days-such as we have had quite a number 

 of this winter— graced the occasion, and we had a large number of

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 18.- Magistrate John W. Schall, at 

 Norristown, to-day considered the charge of cruelty to animals, 

 growing out of the pigeon-shooting match at the Belmont Driving 

 Park on J an. 1. which terminated suddenly in something of a riot. 

 The defendants were Frank Jackson and John McNabb. The 

 officers present from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to 

 Animals were James McDonald, John T. Fox and Philip A. Voor- 

 hees. The society was represented by District Attorney I. P. 

 Wanger, and H. B. Dickinson, Esq., appeared for the defendants. 

 Officer McDonald made an affidavit charging McNabb with set- 

 ting up and abetting a lottery, in form of a pigeon-shooting 

 match, for the distribution of prizes, consisting of a horse and 

 wagon, with cruelty to animals. The information against Frank 

 Jackson was sworn to by Officer Fox, who charged him with 

 cruelty to animals. The lottery scheme was not proved, and it 

 was denied that there had been cruelty, inasmuch as was claimed 

 the pigeons shot at were killed instantly. The hearing was at- 

 tended with no little levity and cross-firing by the opposing sides, 

 and resulted in t he imposition of a fine of $20 against NeNabb and 

 $10 against Jackson, which sums both paid promptly.

WELLINGTON, Mass.. Jan. 19.— A bracing wind blew across 

 the traps to-day, materially assisting the clay-pigeons and the 

 bluerocks in their flight from the traps, and making it quite dif- 

 ficult to record good scores. In the merchandise match, at 9 blue- 

 rocks and 3 pairs clay-pigeons, the following scores were made; 

 Perry 13, Melcher 8, Shumway 8, Baxter 11, Allerton 11, Sanborn 

 10, Stanton 12, Chase 7, Choate 11, Swift 8, Bowker 7, Schaefer 11, 

 Grimes 10, Stone <>, West 11, Con ant 5, Bond 7, Field 9, Savage 8, 

 Snow 7, Webster 8, Short 4, Bradstreet 9. In the match for the 

 silver pitcher, Stanton, Baxter and Perry tied with 13 birds each 

 out of 15, and in the shoot-off Perry won by breaking 12 straight. 

 Following are the winners in the sweepstake matches: six blue- 

 rocks, Perry; six clay-pigeons, Shuuiway; six bluerocks, Swift; 

 six macombers, Choate, Perry and Stanton: six bluerocks, 

 Schaefer, Perry and Melcher; six macombers. Perry; three pairs 

 clay-pigeons, West; six bluerocks, Swift and Sanborn; six ma- 

 combers, Choate, Perry and Conant; nine bluerocks. Perry, Bax- 

 ter and Stanton: six keystones, Choate, Swift and Stanton; six 

 bluerocks, West and Swift; six keystones, Choate, Swift and 

 Stanton; eight clay-pigeons. Snow and Bowker; seven bluerocks, 

 Perry, Stanton, Schaefer and Swift. A team from the Jamaica 

 Plaiu Club has challenged the Wellington team to a contest for 

 the team badge of the Massachusetts State Shoot ing Association, 

 and C. B. Sanborn has challenged R. F. Schaefer for the amateur 

 individual badge. Both contests will take place at tho Welling- 

 ton grounds, Thursday, Jan. 31, shooting to begin at 10 A.M. A 

 new and agreeable feature will soon be introduced at the club 

 house, which will be continued while the cold weather lasts. 

 Those attending the shoots are to be furnished hot coffee and 

 sandwiches, and the novelty of the thing is the "drop a nickel in 

 the slot," and you get checks for a lunch. Mr. Grimes, one of the 

 members, has invented a machine, which, when you dropa nickel 

 in it, will present you with a check for a cup of coffee or a sand- 

 wich. The mechanism is so finely arranged that it won't pay the 

 gunners to try to fool it by dropping in a gun wad or even a 

 stuffed nickel. 



KANSAS CITY".— It is said that a movement has been started 

 out in Kansas City to arrange a championship shoot on a large 

 scale. It is expected that the meeting will eclipse anything of 

 the kind in years, and will establish in agreat measure the cham- 

 pionship honors of American trap shooting. The proposition is 

 to make an open sweepstakes. $100 entrance, at 100 birds, Hurl- 

 ingham rules, to which anybody in the United States, profes- 

 sional or amateur, will be eligible. It is proposed to have this 

 shoot take place about the lOlh of February. 



MONTREAL, Jan. 19.— The fifth open competition for the

 Lumsden were left in with 4 each, which was finally won by the 

 latter, making 5 straight, while Cowley missed t wo. 



NEW YORK SUBURBAN SHOOTING GROUNDS, New York, 

 Jan, 21.— The New York Suburban Shooting Grounds Association 

 will give a tournament at their grounds, Claremont, Jersey City, 

 on Feb. 22 and 33, when they will offer a very attractive pro-

EATON, N. Y., Jan. 19.— Although the thermometer registered 

 nearly zero, six of our club to-day faced tbe trap and tried titles

CHICAGO, Jan 13.— The annual meeting of the Audubon Club 

 was held at Charles Kern's on Jan. 8. The report of the treasurer 

 showed a very satisfactory balance for tbe club, and its affairs 

 were reported in a flourishing condition. Two new members were 

 admitted, and the secretary's report showed the, loss of two mem- 

 bers, one by death and one by expulsion. A set of resolutions on 

 the death of tho late Harry F. Orvis were read by the secretary

the ensuing year. The officers were unanimously elected as fol- 

 lows: President, Charles Morris; Second Vice-President, j. J. 

 Kleinman; Secretary and Treasurer, W. W. Foss; Manager of 

 the kennel department, C. S. Wilcox; Board of Directors, N 

 Rowe^W. L. Shepard, C. E. Felton, F. A. Howe, and 0. S. Wilcox, 

 The office of kennel manager is no longer an arduous one, and Mr. 

 Wilcox, who had been elected to the office, was only making a 

 solemn joke when he said he deemed himself incapable of filling 

 the duties, and threatened to resign from the club if compelled to 

 serve. Messrs. W. L. Shepard and W. P. Musscy were then placed 

 in nomination, and Mr. Mussey elected in Mr. Wilcox's place. 

 Mr. Mussey is known by pretty nearly all the shooters of Chicago 

 as tho original good-natured man, and took his election as he does 

 every tiling else.— E. H. 



BROOKLYN, Jan. 17.— The regular monthly shoot of the Coney

PINE BROOK, N. J., Jan. 17.— While a pigeon match was pro- 

 gressing at Frank Class's Hotel to-day, Calvin Smith, a black- 

 smith, was crossing the Passaic River Bridge. A low-flying pigeon 

 passed in his direction, and in spite of his shouts of warning, two 

 young men, named Van Ness and Van Duyne, shot at the bird at 

 the same instant. Smith fell with the small shot from both guns 

 in his abdomen. He was carried into the hotel apparently dead. 

 A doctor living at Singae was sent for, and under his care Smith 

 recovered slightly, but it is thought he will die.

LOWERING RIGS IN THE W. C. A.-Wditor Forest and Stream : 

 It may interest the readers of the Fori st and Stream to learn 

 that the question of "standing rigs," referred to in McKendrick's 

 communication of Jan. 10, was definitely settled at the meeting 

 of the executive and regatta committees of the Western Canoe 

 Association, held at Cleveland, Jan. 5. It was unanimously re- 

 solved that the "sails of canoes of all classes competing in the 

 races of the W. C A., shall be capable of being effectively hoisted, 

 lowered and reefed by the crew when afloat."— Kelpie.
