SMOKELESS POWDER. 



rpHE report just made by Brig. -Gen. S, V. Benet, Chief of Ord- 

 JL nance, is especially interesting in its remarks upon the now 

 popular topic of smokeless powder: 



"In the absence of a suitable small-arms powder there has been 

 no substantial progress in the ma tter of a small caliber rifle be- 

 yond what has been heretofore reported, except in the negative 

 gain resulting in the apparent abandonment, or tendency that 

 way, abroad of all powders but the so-called smokeless. This 

 change, involving the return to a grained powder, is, if perma- 

 nent, an appreciable gain for all in economy and efficiency of the 

 product in the manufacture of the small-Arm cartridges, and 

 may have been brought about as much from the difficulty of ob- 

 taining uniform and satisfactory results in the way of velocities 

 and pressures with the compressed powders as from the more 

 valuable properties of the smokeless. No American has yet sub- 

 mitted for trial a smokeless powder, and experiment with com- 

 pressed powders has shown the same eccentricity as developed 

 abroad Tending to destroy confidence in the final production of a 

 servicable compressed powder cartridge. All effort, official or 

 otherwise, to date to obtain a smokeless powder has been abor- 

 tive, and American powder makers and chemists have not yet 

 awakened to the lucrative opportunity presented to them. There 

 is reason to believe, from an application made to an officer of the 

 (Ordnance) Department more than ten years ago, that smokeless 

 powders originated, like many other inventions, in America, only 

 to be brought to the attention of the world in foreign countries, 

 although in this instance the person concerned met with encour- 

 agement, of which he did not avail himself. 



"In view of the present status of the powder question, it is not 

 deemed expedient to produce a small-caliber rifle, for compressed- 

 powder cartridges. Such a rifle, however excellent in itself, 

 would be inferior to foreign arms using smokeless powder, and 

 consequently unsatisfactory to the army and the country at 

 large. It is believed, however, that all the elements entering into 

 the problem, except the powder, are ready for use the moment 

 this powder is obtained. 



'A .SOeal. rod-bayonet Springfield rifle has been made, and a 

 rod-bayonet, .30cal. magazine arm is now in progress of construc- 

 tion in anticipation of the final acquisition of the much-needed 

 powder, so that no time may be lost in presenting for trial both 

 single-loading and magazine small-caliber rifles."

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 14.— The regular weekly contest for gold 

 and silver medals of the Gaiety Rifle and Pistol Club was held at 

 their headquarters. S18 South street, Tuesday, Nov. 12. Mr. k. JT 

 Wiggins was the winner of the silver medal, while the competition" 

 for the gold medal was more exciting to the several directly in- 

 terested, Mr. J. J. Mountj oy the secretary proved to be holding 

 too strong, and with his new Wurfftem rifle, using the .22 extra 

 long cartridge, very nearly took all the 10 spot out of the bull, his 

 score of seven 10s, two 8s, and one 9, a total of 95 out of a possible 

 100, off-hand, plain open sights, Standard American target. Ten 

 shot official score at 30yds.;

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10.— The long-talked-of match between 

 veterans Lew Townsend and C. L. Lods, which has caused much 

 interest, among riflemen, came off to-day and resulted in a victory 

 for Mr. Lods by one point after a hard fight. Mr. Townsend's 

 eyes are not as strong as they once were, and as the setting sun 

 began to throw long shadows across the targets his aim became 

 less accurate, and though he tried hard he was unable to keep up 

 an average which up to the last ten shots had been excellent. 

 The scores were as follows: 



O L Lod s 4444545544-42 L Townsend. . . 3143144544—39 



4324554444-39 4445544444-42

4445443444-40-200 3333443444-35- L99 



The conditions of the match were 50 shots at 200yds. with a 

 Springfield rifle, 61b. pull, Creedmoor rules to govern. A. J. Rud- 

 dock acted as scorer. A. Johnson and F. O . Young, the celebrated 

 rifle and pistol shots, held a match with pistols, the scores being 

 the best ever made on this coast under the same conditions. In a 

 match shot some weeks ago, between the same gentlemen, Young 

 was the victor, and this was a return match, with slightly altered 

 conditions. The former match was 50 shots at 40yds., with regu- 

 lation revolvers. Creedmoor rules, Young winning by the phe- 

 nomenal score of 248 to 243. 



To-days' match was at 50yds. range, 50 shots, with .44-ealiber 

 revolvers, Creedmoor rules, and as in the case of Lods and Town- 

 send. Johnson won hy a point. The scores were as follows: 



F O Young 5545554455—47 A Johnson 4555554544—46 



5555655555-50 5555454554—48 

 5545455455-4? 5555555556-50 

 5552554655-49 5555545555-49 

 5554555455 - 48-241 5555555155- 40-243 



The scores in the previous match stood: 



Young 5555555555- 50 Johnson 5554555555—49 



5555515555—49 5555545554—48

 5555554555-49-248 5555455555-59-243 

 Nothing like this was ever accomplished before in that part of 

 the country, the cracks say. New Yorkers will get a better con- 

 ception of what a great achievment Young accomplished when 

 the fact is recorded that Young has but one eye and has to shoot 

 left-handed. His mother accidentally put out his eye flogging 

 him when a boy for climbing into an old-fashioned clock. His 

 father later on cut off his right hand while mowing. Besides 

 these mishaps Young has been struck by lightning, hugged by 

 bears in a hunt, torn by wild cats, and gored by an infuriated 

 Durham bull. lie is known as the finest pistol shot on the Pacific 

 slope, and writes splendidly with his left hand. 



A rifle shoot between two teams captained by Messrs. Johnson 

 and Kline resulted in a tie at 213 points. The scores were as fol- 

 lows: Johnson 45, Young 40, Charles Klein 42. Slitor 37, Lods 43; 

 total 213. J. E. Klein 44, Stewart 40, Hult 46, Ruddock 41, Taylor 

 42; total 213. 



WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 12.-The faces of local riflemen 

 looked very long on Monday when the weather showed no signg 

 of clearing by afternoon. In consequence the regular weekly 

 shooting at Healdmoor Rifle Range was postponed until this 

 afternoon, which turned out very pleasant and in every way 

 favorable for target shooting. The shooting in all of the matches 

 was much above the average, hut the work of Darlington in the 

 pistol match was unusually fine. His two runs of 95. both of 

 which together with one of his 89's were clean scores, made a 

 brilliant piece of work. Trooper Leitch's shooting in the military 

 match with the cavalry carbine was fine, considering his lack of 

 practice. Following are the scores, Standard American target, 

 off-hand:

The club met for practice at their gallery last Friday evening. 

 Some fine shooting was done during the evening, that of Darling- 

 ton being particularly fine. His two runs of ninety-four, both of 

 which were clean scores, and a clean score by Simpson, made the 

 features of the evening. Some new members were initiated and 

 their shooting, which was their first attempt, promises well.

BOSTON, Nov. hi.— The regular weekly shoot of the Massachu-

 and Mr. Davis won the gold medal in the 20-shot rest match. 

 Next Wednesday all the prize and practice matches for rifle and

MARION, N. J.. Nov. 13.— The attendance of marksmen at the 

 weekly shoot of the Marion Rifle Club, which was held on the 

 club grounds, Marion, N. J ., this afternoon, was very slim on 

 account of the bad weather, and the only scores worth mention- 

 ing were as follows: John Spelcher 191, John Rehhan 191, Will- 

 iam Weber 190, L. P. Hansen 186, and H. Hoersch 144. John Reb- 

 ham, who is high man in the club championship competition, 

 gained 5 more points on his nearest opponent, and barring acci- 

 dents he will win the contest by a close margin. The last club 

 contest will take place on Wednesday next. 



ST. LOUIS, Mo.. Nov. 16.-The members of the St. Louis Pistol 

 Club are much discouraged over the miserable conditions of 

 the cartridges which the cartridge companies are placing on the 

 market at present. Miss-fires, keyholes and squibs are so numer- 

 ous that good scores are altogether out of the question. Several 

 members refrained from taking part in the last shoot because the 

 cartridges are so had. Bauer and Sumraerfield tied on 81 last 

 Wednesday night, hut on the shoot-off the former won; 20yds. 

 standard American target is used for all shooting. The score:

ST. PAUL GUN CLUB. 



QT. PAUL, Nov. 9.— Yesterday being a beautiful sunny day, 

 O warm as in June, albeit we are supposed to reside near tlie 

 North Pole, the St. Paid Gun Club had an all day sweepstakes 

 shoot at their beautiful grounds near Hamline, midway betwean 

 the Twin Cities. It was uot advertised as it should have been 

 and none of the sportsmen were down from Minneapolis, al- 

 though our old friend "Barnes," of Stillwater, was present. He 

 did not know of it, however, until he arrived in town, bo he did 

 not have his gun with him. He was badly handicapped by shoot- 

 ing a light 12-gauge gun, when he is used to a 121b., 36in., 10- 

 bore. The other members, particularly "Bennett" (who is a. deaf 

 mute) and "Hamline," did some excellent shooting, as their scores 

 will show. Some of the old shooters have apparently lost their 

 grip since the game season came on, this being the first event at 

 the trap since the State Fair Tournament. The club expects to 

 have an all day shoot soon, and will shoot at irregular times all 

 winter, as they have a good warm club house convenient to tlie 

 station, not more than 30yds. from it, with trains to and from 

 both cities every hour. It is great fun for the boys to see the 

 rival gun dealers. Burke and Kennedy, shoot off a tie, as they 

 never divide, and each is so anxious to win. The loser invari- 

 ably lays the cause of his defeat, to "poor ammunition."

 Ten Pair Combination Shoot: The five traps are set as directed 

 in the American rules. The combinations are 1 aud 5, 1 and 4, 

 1 and 3, 1 and 2, 2 and 3, 2 and 4, 2 and 5, 3 aud 5, 3 and 4, 4 and 5, 

 thus givingfour hirds from each trap, or 10 pair in all. The com- 

 bination is announced hy the puller or other person, and a shooter 

 must be very familiar with the directions to figure ahead where 

 the birds are going. To such of our shooters as are considered 

 good double shots, let me lecommend the "combination" to take 

 the conceit out of them. Owing to near approach of darkness 

 only a few tried it. Below is the score: 



Bennett , 11 11 11 11 U 10 H 10 10 11-17 



Boyd , 00 10 11 11 10 11 10 00 11 00-11

This ended the day's sport. There will be an all-day sweepstake 

 at the Gun Club grounds on Thanksgiving day, and it is more 

 than probable that the American Shooting Association will give 

 one of their popular tournaments here in the early spring. All 

 the Northwestern sportsmen are hopeful that they will.
