WELLINGTON. Del., Nov. 24.— The regular weekly shooting at 

 Healdmoor Kiflc Range, which was prevented by rain on Monday 

 afternoon, took place this afternoon. The attendance was 

 smaller than usual, hut the lack of numbers was made up by 

 steady, unceasing work, which resulted in some flue scores and 

 an enjoyable time. The marksmen were obliged to contend with 

 a tricky 7 to 9 o'clock wind, which blew across the range with 

 variable force during the entire afternoon. The scores are as 

 follows. Standard American target, at 200yds. off-hand: 

 Continuous Prize Match.

WHITE ELEPHANT RIFLE RANGE, 1243 Broadway, New 

 York City.— A very interesting rest match came to a close last 

 Wednesday night after two weeks 1 shoot at this well-known range, 

 the target used was the Coulin's American silver coin taiget, on 

 which some very fine work was done. The shooting was for two 

 gold medals and one silver medal. The coaditions of the match 

 were, 7 shots to each target, highest aggregate of three targets to 

 count. In order to make the full possible, with which the prizes 

 were won, it is necessary to hit a circle the size of a 5-cent piece, 

 the other rings are the size of a 10-eent, 25-cent, 50-cent and £ 1 

 silver American coins. After the regular match was shot it was 

 agreed between Mr. Bert and Mr. Mehlig to shoot for the champion- 

 ship, each putting up his respective medal and $25; the winner to 

 take both medals, championship and the money. The result of 

 the match is given below, possible 105: 



E Castel Bert 105 Lieut C C Potter 100 



Chas Mehlig 105 D S Jacobus 77 



H C Starkweather 105 L R S de Agieda 68 



Major D Crocker 104 J L Patterson .. 66 



Result of shooting off tie, 3 targets of 7 shots to each man: 

 Mehlig, first prize, 95, possible 105; Starkweather, second prize, 93; 

 Bert, third prize, 90. Considering that this shooting was done 

 after 1 A. M., it is not bad. Result of the championship match, 

 which was shot the next day, possible 105: E. Castel Bert, 100; 

 Chas. Mehlig, 75. This gave Mr. Bert the championship, money 

 and the first and third medals. The off-hand decimal target 

 match, which will close Dec.'l, thus far seems to be iu Mr. Bert's 

 favor for first place with Major Crocker a good second.— G. G. 



ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 24.-Editor Forest and Stream: At the last 

 shoot of the St. Louis Pistol Club Alexander, Perret and Mohr- 

 stadt tied on 84, but on the shoot-off the former gentleman proved 

 himself the winner, making the same score that he made in the 

 regular shoot. Only oue more shoot remains of the present tour- 

 nament, and then the final winner of the handsome gold medal 

 will be made known. Just now Mr. Mohrstadt is higher on the 

 general average, and unless he happens to make a very bad score 

 at the next shoot, and Foddc and Bauer, who are close upon him, 

 happen to make an extra large one, he will undoubtedly finish in 

 the lead. The target used is a 20yds. standard American for pis- 

 tol practice:

A NOVEL SHOOTING PRIZE.— A captain of the 46th Line Regi- 

 ment of the French army, stationed at Fontainebleau, has 

 imagined a novel manner of encouraging good markmanship. A 

 soldier having been condemned to four days' prison for a slight 

 breach of discipline, the captain offered to diminish his punish- 

 ment by half if he could put six bullets in a bullseye. The soldier 

 succeeded, and, encouraged by his success, begged to be allowed 

 to fire again for the remaining two days' imprisonment. Permis- 

 sion was accorded. The soldier made six more bullseyes, and 

 was liberated at once. 



WILL GIVE EASTERN SHOTS A TURN.— Beatrice, Neb., 

 Nov. 16. — Editor Forest and Stream: I inclose you three diagrams 

 that I roughly drew, showing the work of a light sporting rifle of 

 the Stevens make that I tried the other evening in agallerv here 

 by lamp light at 50ft., the bullseye being a trifle less than the 

 J4in., shooting off-hand as fast as I could load and fire, the result 

 being as you see in the diagram, also being under a very uncer- 

 tain light. I won the championship at rifle and revolver shoot- 

 of Beatrice last summer and have defeated all-comers so far. I

HUTCHINSON, Kansas, Nov. 19.— The Hutchinson Gun Club 

 held their regular monthly medal shoot last Monday, instead of 

 Friday, their regular day, on account of the delay occasioned by 

 the managers of the Sterling tournament in returning the traps 

 which our boys had loaned them. When we did get our traps 

 back we had to pay the express charges, and one of the traps was 

 broken. Sam Forsha has challenged Mr. Smythe of the Wichita 

 Gun Club, for the Kansas State Medal, but the date has not yet 

 been fixed for the shoot. Following are the scores of the last 

 medal shoot. It will be seen that Miles Taylor was too much for 

 the bovs this month, and won the gold medal, though neither he 

 nor Eli Young, who won the silver cup, usually get so very far 

 below 20 on the 25, and Sam Forsha is below the average in this 

 shoot. 15 singles, 5 pairs bluerocks:

BOGARDUS.— Chicago, 111., Nov. 23.— Capt. A. -H. Bogardus 

 and his son Henry are here filling an engagement at Kohl & 

 Middleton's Museum, and giving exhibitions of glass ball shoot- 

 ing and trick shooting with the rifle. The range for the ball 

 shooting is very short, not over 15yds., and the Captain tells me 

 he has to hold mighty close with his little 20-gauge, for the shot 

 do not scatter over a space much larger than the ball itself. The 

 Captain is looking strong and rugged as ever. He says he has not 

 had much game shooting, except that while with the circus on 

 the. coast he had some shooting on mountain quail in California 

 and on blue grouse in Oregon. He thinks the mountain quail not 

 harder to hit than our Bob White, excepting that it flies in a 

 rougher country. He brought back with him two pairs of young 

 mountain quail, which are flourishing nicely now at his home 

 Henry Bogardus is a tall, strong boy of thirteen. He informs one 

 proudly that he has "been shooting for eight years." He is very 

 handv with the small bore, repeaters, and bids fair to take the 

 place of the lamented Eugene Bogardus. He does all the usual 

 stage shots very tidily. The Captain and his son go from here to 

 St. Paul and Minneapolis, and then returning, go to Cincinnati 

 — E. Hough.
