FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Au«; 22, 1889. 



BOSTON, Auk. IV.-The fine weather to-day attracted many 

 sbooters to the Massachusetts Rifle Association range, and while 

 some complained of the light and wind, the veterans and some of 

 the younger shots did some good shooting. Several members of 

 the Boston Press Rifle Association were present, and one of their 

 cracks put up a fine score of 83 decimal count, which was a good 

 49 Creed mote cou.it, ending with six bullseves. J. R. Munroe 

 won the medal m the 20-sbot rest match. The champion off-hand 

 match was not shot. Below are the scores for the day:

WILMINGTON, Del., Aug. 12.— To-day was the most perfect day 

 for outdoor sports since last fall. The clear atmosphere and the 

 cool, bracing northwest wind combined to tempt all lovers of 

 open-air pastimes to their various fields, but especially strong to 

 the Healdmoor rifle range. There was a fair attendance and 

 local marksmen enjoyed a fall aud active afternoon of sport. 

 The shooting embraced nearly every varietv, and the scores were 

 generally good. Ons dav last weeb E. J. Darlington shot a 100- 

 shot revolver match for record, and tied his brother's fine 10-shot 

 record of last March, and then beat it one point by making two 

 fine runs of 90 and 91. The score is a flue piece of work and is 

 admired by all who know what marksmanship means. It fitly 

 heads the general scores, which are as follows, standard. Ameri- 

 can, target, off-hand:

SMOKELESS POWDER.— The new powder came in for a 

 showy test recently at the sham fight given at Spandau before 

 the German and Austrian Emperors. The battle toob place on 

 the heights south of Spandau. One division of ten battalions 

 used the new smokeless powder, wMle their opponents used the 

 old style powder. The contrast between the effects of the two 

 explosives was stribing, the troops using tbe old powder being 

 completely enveloped in smobe.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15.— One of tbe greatest prize shooting 

 festivals ever held on the Pacific coast will take place at Harbor 

 \ lew Park on the 25th and 26th inst., under the auspices of the 

 California Schtietzen Club. Delegations of marksmen w 11 come 

 from Marin, Sonoma. Alameda and Santa Cruz countu s. The St. 

 Helena Rifle Club will send a contingent of its best riflemen. Tbe 

 California is t he crack club of the coast, aud includes among its 

 members some of the best shots in the United States. The shoot- 

 ing will begin at 8 o'clock in the morning and closes at 6:30 ^'clock 

 m the afternoon, with an intermission from 12 to 1 for dinner 

 The shooting wDl be off-hand. 200yds. distance, all rifles not over 

 •45cal. and not more than 70grs. of powder, and all sights except 

 telescope, and any pull of trigger will be allowed. A 12m. black, 

 divided into three parts, will be used as a point target, on which 

 will also be counted the best centers. Forty prizes, ranging from 

 $40 to $1, will be given to the marksmen shooting closest to the 

 center of the target. Twenty-five prizes, from $40 to pi, will also 

 lie given to competitors making the moats points during the day. 

 Probably the keenest competition will be manifested among tlie 

 marksmen participating in the King shooting. Each person en- 

 tering will be allowed 200 shots, and the marksman making the 

 goeatest number of points will receive a diamond medal, besides 

 a handsome money consideration, and be crowned Shooting King. 

 All persons making 400 points will receive a diploma as master 

 marksman. A special prize of $2 50 will be given for the first and 

 last bullseye in the forenoon and afternoon. The target repre- 

 senting the uoper part of a man will also be used. These targets 

 are 30in. high and 20in. broad at the bottom, divided into perpen- 

 dicular lines, counting from the middle. Forty prizes, amounting 

 to $250, will be distributed on this target. In order that absolute, 

 seen ritv may be insured and the guests of the club witness the 

 proceedings with safety, the grand stand over the shooting room 

 has been maae bullet-proof by placing lOin. of sand between ihe. 

 spectators and marksmen. The stand was tested one dav last 

 weeb by Philo Jacoby, who placed the muzzle of a .45-70 Win- 

 chester— one of the largest rifles used— within 10ft. of the stand 

 and the bullet was found to have penetrated but 7in., and was 

 then perfectly flattened.

AMERICAN SHOOTING ASSOCIATION. 



THE spcond tournament of the Association was held at Beacon 

 Park, Boston, on the 13tb, 14th. 15th aud 16tb inst. Many 

 shooters from out of town arrived on Tuesday night, and rhe cor- 

 ridors of the Quincy House, which was headquarters, swarmed 

 with fam'liar i aces. President Oimickaud Manager Taylor were 

 on hand to welcome the arrivals, and the prospects for a good 

 time and a large attendance seemed favorable. The attendance, 

 however, did not come up to expectations. The vicinity of Bos- 

 ton is one of the best, if not the best, trap-shooting sections of 

 the country, and it was expected that the clans would turn out 

 in great numbers. Just why they did nut is unknown, but it 

 seems that the generous purses offered by the Association and the 

 classification system should have induced many more amateurs 

 to attend. The C class matches were none of them largely filled, 

 and manv of the guranteed events fell short in entries. The first 

 business of Tuesday was a tally-ho ride tendered by President 

 Dimick to the directors of the Association and the representa- 

 tives of the sportsmen's journals. Mr. Dimick's plan was to give 

 the visitors an idea of the beauty of Boston's suburb-, and in this 

 be succeeded. The route was to the Chestnut Hill Reservoir 

 through Brookline, and it was thoroughly enjoyed by the i'or.u- 

 nate participants. The coach arrived at the grounds about 10 

 o'clock, at which time tbe traps were in operation. 



A new arrangement of traps, with the special view of accom- 

 modating a large numbrr of contestants, had been devised by 

 Major Taylor. Six sets ot five traps each were placed in a half 

 circle, and midway between them and a little behind the scoring 

 stands, was the Association tent. In this Major Tayl r had his 

 headquarters and there the press and all who would were regaled 

 with lemonade made with the Major's own hands and served 

 from an enormous silver punch bowl won by him years ago by 

 liis skill at the traps in Kentucky. Under the Association's sys- 

 tem of supplying the press with scores in full, there remained 

 not much work for the scribes to do. The force of assistants was 

 rather > oung and more work devolved on the Major than is usual. 

 With six sets of traps in constant operation and the Keystone 

 rules prevailing, the programme was promptly run through. The 

 fusilade of guns was unceasing, except from 1 to 2 o'clock, when 

 dinner was served in a mammoth tent, and such a dinner as it 

 was — a rarity on a shooting ground and equal to that served in 

 any first-class hotel. The caterer was J. A. Dill, Melrose, Mass., 

 and he certainly deserved better patronage than by reason of the 

 weather was accorded him. 



On Tuesday morning the air was heavy with humidity and 

 promises of coming rain, which were realized by several hard 

 showers during the day. But it was on Wednesday that the 

 clouds opened and poured forth a perfect deluge of moisture. 

 This commenced long before any one was up, and on discussion 

 the day's programme was postponed, and a notice given to that 

 effect. Some of the shooters would not be denied, however, and 

 about twenty-five started for the grounds dete. mined to bum 

 some power at all hazards. The day was spent in shooting extra 

 sweepstakes, many of which were shot while the rain fell in tor- 

 rents, but no official scores were kept. These were the most 

 enthusiastic ones, and in truth, the most carfeless of their com- 

 fort and health as well, for the grounds were in a decidedly 



mushy cond ltioc Beacon Park is situated right on the Charles 

 River, and is partly composed of marshy land, where, it is said, 

 snipe and bay birds are plentiful. In fact, some who went out in 

 the ra-n were favored with a shot at live targets. Five grass 

 birds flew over the traps aud were all bagged, three by Mr. Law 

 and two bv Mr. Manchester. 



Those who remained at the hotel passed the time between an- 

 athematizing the weather clerk and talking shoot. The talk was 

 accompanied with pantomimic action, aud In little gr nips all 

 around the oflice' and billiard rooms one would see an umbrella 

 drawn quickly to the shoulder and sighted. The ruling passion 

 was shoot, and it seemed the aim of all to come as near the actual 

 firing of a gun as possible. As is usual match talk was the out- 

 come of some, of the discussions and one race was made between 

 Rolla O. Heikes. of Dayton, O., and Al. Spangler. of Syracuse 

 against E. Uillette, of Boston, and Dan Lefever, of Syracuse. 

 The conditions were 50 single birds per man, for $10 a side and the 

 supper. As 2 o'clock arrived the imprisoned ones became very 

 restive and unable longer to stand the confinement, it was pro- 

 posed to go out and shoot this race at once, so rubber coats were 

 donned and away tbev went. The match resulted in a tie ou 86: 

 this when shot off at 10 birds each gave the victory to Heikes and 

 Spangler. Gillette shot three different guns during the race and 

 this no doubt contributed to his defeat.

Dick Schaefer started on tbe warpath and wanted to shoot a 

 match with any one on the grounds. J, E. Pumphrev, of Coium- 

 bus, O., accommodated him "just once" at 50 Pcorias. Dick won 

 with a score of 16 to 12. Later in tbe week they shot two more 

 matches, one of which Schaefer won aud Pumphrey the other. 

 Dick shot a strange gun, which pounded his shoulder and drew 

 blood, but when not occupied in coaxing entries and running 

 sweeps he was sure tn be found shooting a match with some one, 

 and it is but fair to say that in the most of them he was victori- 

 ous. 



Thursday was also a dismal day, but the tally -ho carried its 

 load of guns, ammunition and live freight to the" traps at about 

 9:30, and Wednesday's regular programme was put through. The 

 great team race. West vs. East, was to be shot, but as Bandle, 



for teams of four men from any one club was substituted. There 

 was much interest displayed in this match, which ended in a 

 victory for tbe Onondaga Sportsmen's Association team of Syra- 

 cuse. The Onondagas seem to be dangerous opponents in team 

 races, as they usually get t here. 



Canada sent two representatives in the persnns of Messrs. E. 

 Octave and J. R. Meaaowcroft, of the Dominion Gun Club, of 

 Montreal, to see how Boston ran a great shoot. They seemed as 

 indifferent to weather conditions as the average American 

 shooter, and in spite of the rain on Thursday they were piesent, 

 and evinced much interest in all that occurred. During the dav 

 Mr. W. Wolstencrof t, the crack Worth End Gun Club, Phila., shot, 

 gave an exhibition of the rapidity with which a Winchester re- 

 peating shotgun can be worked. Four nirds were sprung simul- 

 taneously, aud in as many seconds nothing remained of them but 

 a shower of broken clay. An unfortunate accident happened to 

 Mr. H. A. Penrose, of the Keystone Target Co. While adjusting 

 one of his traps it was sprung by a trapper, and the arm struck 

 his knee-pan with great force, making a nasty cut. It was soon 

 dressed, however, and Pen. limped around smiling for the balance 

 of the day. It i? to be hoped i hat all the soreness will have disap- 

 peared before the Keystone tournament, at which Pen. Is a very 

 pressing necessity. 



All the target companies were represented: Paul North, of the 

 Blucrock Co.; C. C. Hebbard and Rolla O. Heikes, of the Stan- 

 dard; W. H. Cruttenden, of Kingbird: D. Kirkwood, for the 

 Peorias. Many other celebrities were present, among them S. A. 

 Tucker, with his new Parker; Harvey McMm-ehy, of L. C. Smith 

 fame; W. Fred Quimby, the only "Fred;" Lieut. Albee, who 

 works a Winchester like a charm; Ed. Taylor, of Cincinnati, who 

 talks Laflin & Rand p L wder to every one; M. F. Lindsley, whose 

 main hold is wood powder, and many others. The only directors 

 of the Association present besides Mr. Dimick were Chas. Tatham, 

 of Tatham's Shot Works, and Geo. T. Harding, of the Leroy 

 Shot Co. 



In consequence of Wednesday's postponement it was necessary 

 to continue the tournament on Friday, and on that day the most 

 perfect weather prevailed. The suu shone brightly, and just 

 enough air was stirring to rob its rays of too great warmth. The 

 little encampment of tents, with streamers flying, and the bright 

 colored scorers' stands presented a very pleasing sight as tbe 

 coach drove ou the grounds. The fine weather came a little too 

 late in the week to be of much benefit to the Association, as 

 many bad left for home, having made arrangements to remain 

 only three days. The small number pre- seut meant a loss to the 

 Associa tion on the guaranteed events, but they were all shot in 

 regular order. As the scores show, some of the contestants were 

 very fortunate in falling into positions alone, where good returns 

 result' d. Two teams were made up to shoot the team race of five, 

 aud instead of its being tbe East against the West, it really was 

 the East against the whole country. A strong team, consisting of 

 Perrv, Dickey, Wheeler, Swift aud Smith, was picked t < represent 

 the East, anc' pitted against them were McMurchy, Heikes Whit- 

 ney, Miller and W Wolstencrof t. The latter was a combination 

 of talent bard to beat, and all opinions pointed to an easy victory 

 for them. The match was by no means a wu Ik-over, however, 

 and the Eastern team did themselves great credit in toe face of 

 such decided opinion, bciug beaten by 7 birds only, after an ex- 

 cising race, in which the scores were c lose, all through. When 

 this ev. nt was settled, there remained little of the programme to 

 finish, and this was quickly attended to. Once more the tally-ho 

 was in demand, and soon those who for four days had faced each 

 other at the traps were speeding in many directions toward their 

 homes. 



Socially the second tournament of the American Shooting As- 

 sociation was a grand success, and if it falls a trifle short iinan- 

 cinlly. it is to be attributed to the weather, which without doubt 

 kept many intending participants away. The most perft-ct bar-' 

 mony prevailed during the entire shoot, no kicks were made, and 

 no objections to the clas locations, in which* no changes were 

 made. The scores in full are given below:
