REVOLVER CARTRIDGES.- Wrightsville, Pn.-Editor Forest 

 and Stream: Will some experienced revolver snot kindly give me 

 the result of his experiments as to the best cartridge for tine tar- 

 get, work with the revolver. 1 use a .38cal. Smith & Wesson and 

 find that all standard cartridges, even the. short, give too much 

 recoil for fine shooting. 1 hope to get through your columns the 

 experience and advice of others.— A. C. Krtjegeb.

THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN TOURNAMENT. 



DENVER, Colorado— Editor Fomt and Stream: The first an- 

 nual tournament of the Rocky Mountain Sportsmen's Asso- 

 ciation has come and gone, and has proven a greater success I ban 

 the most sanguine of its promoters had anticipated. 



Owing to the limited extent of ground at our disposal, but one 

 set of five traps could be used, which were set in a straight line, 

 six men shooting in a squad, which we found much faster than 

 was thought, and taken all around was fairly satisfactorily, 

 especially to the poorer shots. 



Although the event was advertised as for members of i.fi.- asso- 

 ciation only, quite a number of celebrated shots were present, 

 and a number of extra sweepstakes were shot for their benefit. 

 The genial Best, of Chicago tin pigeon fame, was present, but 

 owing to lack of time for changing traps, the events arranged for 

 him were shot at Peoria blackbirds, which of all the clay targets 

 was pronounced the most satisfactory. To close this report with- 

 out mention of the efforts ol our manager, Mr. O. B. Lane, would 

 be an omission noticeable to all contestants, as Ins untiring efforts 

 to make all things run smoothly had to be seen to he appreciated. 



In the diamond badge shoot considerable interest was mani- 

 fested in the scores of "Mr. Wcstfield and "Tuff," the latter gen- 

 tleman coming to the score at the last moment, and shooting 

 alone broke 80 singles straight, tying Westfield, and from that 

 out. the result was watched with great interest, but was finally 

 decided by "Tuff" getting only 13 of his doubles, while West .field 

 broke 17, winning tne baoge on a score of 47 out of 50.
