FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Nov. 14, 1889. 



WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 4.— The delightful Indian summer, 

 like weather made things lively at Healdinoor rifle range, Wil- 

 mington, Del., to-day. Some complaint was made that it was too 

 nice, as the light was so dazzling as to be troublesome at times. 

 However it was gratefully accepted as a relief from the wet spell 

 of the last two or three weeks. The only event of the day was 

 the remarkably long run by Darlington in the revolver match, 

 which raised his record for that arm one point. Following are 

 the scores in detail, Standard American target, off-hand:

ST. JOSEPH, Mo.. Nov. 2.- The Buchanan Rifle Club met at 

 their range to-day for their regular shoot. The days are short- 

 ened so now that the boys have to get in their work in a pretty 

 lively manner, but the rush did not seem to affect their aim 

 much, as the following will attest; 4 scores per man, possible 100

PERFECT MILITARY SCORES.— Capt. Joseph B. Sanborn, 

 Co. G.First Regiment Infantry. Illinois National Guard, after long 

 practice this past summer, has succeeded in making a perfect 

 score on all of the military ranges up to 1,000yds. His detailed 

 score, therefore, reads as follows: A score of 25 in a possible 25 at 

 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 and l,000vds., respectively, and 

 50 in a possible 50, skirmish line. Total 300. The skirmish line 

 firing, of course, is at ranges from 500yds. down to 100. The posi- 

 tions are, of course, off-hand at 100 and 200yds., kneeling at 300 

 and lying down at ranges above 300. Has this score ever been 

 duplicated with the military arm? The First Regiment is show- 

 ing a very good grade of marksmanship this year. Following is 

 a list of the different companies, showing the number of sharp- 

 shooters in each. The score of the ranked sharpshooter must be 

 over 250 out of a possible 300. The list is given by Capt. Jos. H. 

 Barnett, of D company, thus: Co. A 17, B 7, C 13, D 8, E5, F 22, G 

 16, 1 11. The field and staff, numbering 8 officers, have all passed 

 the grade for sharpshooter's rank. The interest in the range 

 firing has been well maintained . — E' Hough. 



ARMY REVOLVER SHOTS— General Order 78, just issued 

 from regular army headquarters, gives the record of the rifle, 

 carbine and revolver matches of the season. In revolver shoot- 

 ing, which was new this year, the best record, dismounted, is 87.2 

 per cent., made by the revolver team at Fort Leavenworth. The 

 Fort Wingate team leads for the mounted firing with 61.5 per 

 cent., and in the mean average with 75.8 per cent. 



THE TRAP. 



Secretaries of clubs and managers of tournaments are requested 

 to keep us advised of the dates of their shoots, so that we may 

 give due notice in our column of fixtures.

WILL1AMSPORT (IND.) TOURNAMENT. 



WILLIAMSPORT, Ind., Nov. 6.— Yesterday the Williamsport 

 Gun Club gave their annual tournament on their club

 on account of the wind, as will be seen by the scores:

BLOOMING GROVE PARK. 



Editor Forest, and Stream: 



The Blooming Grove Park Association held its annual tourna- 

 ment on the grounds of the club on Nov. 2 and 4. There were 

 upward of thirty of the members present, some of tbem bringing 

 their wives. A special car on Friday. Nov. 1, carried the mem- 

 bers and their guests to Glen Eyre, where the club stages were 

 met and the party were driven to the club house, where a hos- 

 pitable reception awaited all. The house was illuminated from 

 ceUar to roof and the piazza hung with Chinese lanterns, making 

 a most beautiful effect. And once inside, the roaring log fires in 

 the spacious fireplaces for the outer man, and the table loaded 

 down with all the good things for the inner being, at once con- 

 verted the party into one huge family all bent on having a good 

 time. yet. insisting thai, there should be duo decorum. 



Saturday was cold and rainy, but the several matches arranged 

 for that day were shot off, and, as is very often the case, the "un- 

 known" won. In order to attract contestants, those who had had 

 some experience in shooting at the traps freely granted the va- 

 rious handicaps which the committee arranged, and the resulu 

 showed that the handicapping had been fair. 



While the contests were going on others of the members were 

 out with dog and gun after grouse or in the park with their rifles 

 in the hopes of seeing and shooting a buck, or on the lake fishing. 

 If all who had chances to shoot game that day could have ava iled 

 themselves thereof half a dozen bucks and scores of grouse would 

 have been hanging up that night in the chill room. But it is 

 always luck when you miss, and there was much ill-luck. Vet on 

 the table the next day we had spread before us fish and game, the 

 results of the sportsmen's pleasure of Saturday. On the 3d those 

 who eared to do so went fishing or hunting, or visited the hatch- 

 ery and preserves to watch Otto, the head game keeper, take the 

 trout spawn from our breeders., and see him feed the 25,000 trout 

 of various ages in the preserves. 



On the 5th, the other matches in rifle shooting and fly-casting 

 were contested, and here again in the fly-casting the handicap- 

 ping committee were very much relieved of their labors by the 

 yielding of the more experienced contestants. After the various 

 contests were decided there was no feeling but that the best man 

 in each match fairly won by his excellenee, although some who 

 had before done very well in these matches fell below their 

 previous averages. 



The evening was passed in whist, music and billiards, while 

 others sitting around the open fireplace, each had his story and 

 his eager listeners. 



The tournament ended on the afternoon of the 4th, and the 

 party returned to the city and their homes in small groups, but 

 all with one mind, that if one wants thorough enjoyment, un- 

 hampered by dress and style so-called, but controlled by every 

 sense of propriety, and offered an opportunity of not only hunting 

 for but finding grouse and buck at which to get a shot, they 

 should become members of this association, and then they will 

 be able better to appreciate all the benefits of the club, which 

 this little sketch but feebly outlines.— N. S. S.

TORONTO, Nov. 7.— The blackbird shoot at McDowalPs shoot- 

 ing grounds to-day drew out a large number of representatives 

 of the different gun clubs of the city. The spectators were also 

 down in good numbers, and apparently took as keen an interest 

 in each event as the men at tbe score. The day's programme con- 

 sisted of three open matches for valuable, prizes, and a. continuous 

 merchandise shoot for 10 prizes. A gold medal presented by W. 

 MoDowall for the highest aggregate score, for the dav was a lead- 

 ing feature of the shoot. Messrs. F. Emond, Dr. Charles and P. 

 Wakefield came in for the lion's share of the prizes. The first 

 two gentlemen shot a hot race all day for the aggregate medal, 

 and if was not until the last round was finished that the steady 

 "Emo" defeated the lightning shot. The doctor, however, won 

 some handsome prizes, among which was a Martini repeating 

 rifle. He was also the only man to make a straight 9 in the mer- 

 chandise. The weather was all that could be desired. Mr. C. G. 

 Wine-hell gave satisfaction as referee and scorer, while Mr. Har- 

 rison did tbe same as referee for the merchandise match. Fol-

CINCINNATI. Nov. 10.— The Forrester Gun Club held its second 

 regular weekly winter shoot on the grounds of the Price's Hill 

 Gun Club this afternoon, it being a dark, gloomy and dismal 

 chilly day threatening snow. A largo number of spectators were 

 present. The pigeons were furnished by Mr. Al Bandle, and 

 though not so good as those shot by the club some, few days ago, 

 averaged well, very few duffers being the rule. "Bohemian" (Mr. 

 Chas. J. Kauffman), a shooter of tbe 89 crop, did especially good 

 work. All shooting was from five ground scoop traps. 28yds. rise 

 for 12 and 30yds. rise for 10- gauge guns, use of both barrels al- 

 lowed, 8l>yds boundary. Mr. W. E. Limberg, sporting editor of

NEWARK, N. J„ Oct. 5.— To-day was a great day at John Erb'a, 

 over a dozen expert, trap shooters being at work from 11 A. Al. 

 until it grew so dark that they were unable to distinguish a dark 

 bird from a trap. The birds were the hardest lot of drivers and 

 twisters ever seen in th'S part of the .country, and a 90-per-cent. 

 man would have h<ul a lively time to hold his average. Twelve 

 sweeps were shot under Hurlingham rules, 6 traps, 28 and 30yds. 

 rise. 80yds. boundary. The winding-up shoot of the clay was at 8 

 birds, $7 entry, four moneys, all the rest being at 4 birds, $3 entry. 

 The scores were as follows: 



Shot at. Killed. Shot at. Killed. 



S Castle 52 44 WS Cannon.... 28 21 



CMHedden 52 38 E Geoffrey 12 9

PDalv, Jr 44 32 M F Lindsley. . .. 12 10 



JE Wheaton. .. 52 30 



W. S. Cannon was unfoitunate in having the slide slip on his 

 gun when he pulled his first barrel, thus being unable to pull his 

 second. This happened twice and lost him two birds, as under 

 Hurlingham rules a shooter is responsible for the condition of his 

 gun and ammunition, hinder the new American rules he would 

 have been entitled to two more birds. 



CINCINNATI, Nov. 4.— Several members of the Forrester Gun 

 Club went down to-day to shoot at some three dozen odd pigeons 

 in coop. The shooting took place on the grounds of the Price's 

 Hill Gun Club. The birds were all good flyers, averaging away 

 above those generally used here. Th ere were but five incomers 

 in the number of birds sprung, the remainder being all straight- 

 away right and left-quartering birds. Better tame birds I never 

 witnessed sprung from traps. The shooting was under Hurling- 

 ham rides, both barrels all .wed. 2S for 12 and 30yds. rise for 10- 

 gauge guns. W. E. Limberg officiating as referee. Official scores:
