NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION. 



THE annual meeting of this association was set down for Tups" 

 day evening last, but was not held owing to toe lack of a quo- 

 rum. "The reports of the officers prepared for presentation, 

 showed that, the financial condition of the association was better 

 than at the saine date last year. Secretary Shepherd presented 

 his very brief report of the doings of the association for the year 

 as follows: 



New York., Jan. 21, 1890.— Mr. President and Life Members of 

 the National Rifle Association of America: Your Secretary sub- 

 mits the following report of the transactions of the Association 

 for the vear 1889. The annual meeting of the life members was 

 held at the Armory of the 22d Regt., on Jan. 8, at which time 

 Generals Wingate and Ward, Colonels Story and Ward, and Mr. 

 Bernard Walt her were elected Directors for the term of three 

 years. The reorganization of the Board of Directors took place 

 at the meeting held the following month, when Gen. Woodward 

 was re-elected Vice-President: Gen. Ward, Treasurer; and the 

 undersigned Secretary; later in the year Gen. Wingate was 

 elected President. We have lost during the past year two very 

 prominent Directors, Capt. G. Henry Witthaus, who died on May 

 30, and Gen. Rodney C. Ward, who died on Sept. 6; their valuable 

 services to this Association will be long remembered by its mem- 

 bers. The usual monthly tneelings have been called, but I regret 

 to say that on several occasions a quorum was wanting. 



The Creedmoor bill, appropriating $25,000 for the purchase of 

 the W 7 est Range and such other laud as may be deemed necessary, 

 and to make the required repairs and improvements on the 

 present property, was passed at Albany. The fall meeting was 

 opened on Sept. 10, under most unfavorable weather conditions, 

 which contiuued for four davs out of the five and resulted in a 

 loss of nearly §700. 



The Qualification and Marksman's Badge matches, tor the 

 members of the National Guard, showed no falling off in the in- 

 terest which has heen so steadily growing during the past few 

 years, and resulted in a net profit of £ 1,560. which would undoubt- 

 edly have been increased had the weather conditions on match 

 days heen more favorable. On Election Day over 525 competitors 

 were present on the range. I have to acknowledge the receipt of 

 valuable prizes from Messrs. Tiffany & Co., Benedict Bros., Mr. 

 J. H. Steward, of London, Eng., and the Staffs of the First and 

 Second Brigade. 



The Treasurer's report shows a balance on hand Jan. 1, 1890, of 

 $2,536.71, as against $2,187.61 a year nrevious, and we have uo out- 

 standing debts. Respectfully submitted, 



John S. Shepherd, Sec'y. 



BOSTON, Jan. 18.— The weekly shoot of the Massachusetts Rifle 

 Association was held to-dav at its range at Walnut Hill, with a 

 large number of riflemen present- Eleven matches were shot, 

 with a good deal of hard fighting for first place in each, Mr. Pos- 

 ter won the bronze and silver military medal. The conditions

WILMINGTON, Jan. 13.-A young Montana tornado must have 

 got loose near Wilmington, Del., to-day, for the windswept across 

 Healdmoor Rifle Range like a hurricane. The ominous appear- 

 ance of the clouds about the middle of the afternoon and the roar- 

 ing wind, combined with the weird w T histle of the Philadelphia 

 tugboat Hercules, inclined the riflemen to think for a moment 

 that "dar's sumpiu comin', suah." Such a gale as this and the 

 incessant changes of light, required continued changes of wind- 

 age as well as elevation, especially for the longer distance shoot- 

 ing. The event of the day was the tine pistol work by Darlington. 

 His two brilliant runs of 95 and 96. both of which were clean 

 scores, made a fine piece of work. Following are the scores, 

 standard target, off-hand:

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Jan. 18— The Pistol Club had a fair attend- 

 ance at its last shcot. Nine memoers were present, and two, 

 Mohrstadt and Summerneld, tied on 117; but on the shoot-off the 

 former won. At a meeting held a few days ago seven new mem-

WORCESTER, Mass., Jan. 17.— Members of the Worcester Rifle 

 Association had a meet yesterday at their Broad Meadow Range.

THE BIG- BERLIN SHOOT.— One, if not the greatest contest 

 ever held in rifle shooting, will be the shooting festival in Berlin 

 DPXt summer. Crack shots from all over the world, wherever 

 rifle shooting Is made a pastime, will be represented at this great 

 meeting of marksmen. There will be at least 113 targets placed, 

 56 at. the. distance of 300 meters (975ft.) and 56 at 175 meters (568ft. 

 9in.). At 300 meters distance the point targets have an oval black 

 35in. high, by lT^in. wide, which counts as one point, and the in- 

 ner circle, 22' 3 in. high, and 4 s 15 in. wide, counts two points. At 

 the honorary targets at this distance the target is divided into 30 

 rings, and each competitor has two shots. The black is of the 

 same size, but there are 7 rings (from 1 to 7) yet outside of it. At 

 175 meters the round black measures ll T , 0 iu. in diameter (one 

 point) with an inner circle half the size, counting two points. At 

 the honorary targets this distance, each marksman has only one 

 shot which, if it hits the black (ll 7 , 0 in.), is measured for best cen- 

 ter. At 300 meters, rifles must weieh 121bs. or less, be open sight, 

 and have a trigger that will go off without setting it. At 175 

 meters all rifles are allowed having only two sights (one rear one 

 frond; uo handle or any object which can be used as such is 

 allowed on any rifle: also the butt of the rifle must not have a 

 bend deeper than 2 1 5 in. No one is allowed to use a rifle which 

 has not been examined and approved by the shooting committee; 

 shooting off-hand, etc.

NEW TRAP GROUNDS FOR CHICAGO. 



CHICAGO, HI., Jan. 15.— A call has been issued, signed by many 

 of the prominent trap-shooters of Chicago, looking toward 

 a general meeting of the shooters for the purpose of discussing 

 ways and means to secure suitable shooting grounds easily ac- 

 cessible from this city. Owing to a misunderstanding with the 

 local sporting papers, which did not seem to take much interest 

 in the matter, and owing to the supposition, to great extent a 

 wrong one, that Forest axd£Stream, which is known always to 

 have interest in just such matters, would reach this city too late 

 to be of service in spreading the announcement, the meeting has 

 not been so thoroughly advertised as might have been possible, 

 although the daily papers will now ho extensively used. Never- 

 theless the meeting is now pretty well understood and talked of 

 among the leading shooters, and it is probable that there will be 

 a pretty fair attendance at the Sherman House parlors on Tues- 

 day evening next, Jan. 21. 



Watson's Park, at Grand Crossing, has for years been the main 

 meeting place of the Chicago shooters, and it is there that the 

 annual tournaments of the State Sportsmen's Association are 

 held. This park is managed by John Watson, a veteran of the 

 trap. w T ho is one of the best-known figures of Chicago shooting 

 circles. It is Mr. Watson, under the name of "Ravelrigg," who 

 sends in the frequent scores from that park to the Trap columns 

 of Forest and Stream. It is not probable that any of the boys 

 would like to take away any pleasure or profit from John Wat- 

 son, for he is too well known and liked, and besides, he has a 

 reputation for furnishing good birds and for conducting a shoot 

 rapidly and smoothly, which it would be hard for another to sup- 

 plant. But John W r atson himself is in favor of this movement 

 for better grounds. His lease on the little park is of uncertain 

 tenure, and is liable to be revoked, he says, at almost any time. 

 The facilities for comfort on these grounds, by way of buildings, 

 etc., are not of the best. In cold weather the place is uncomfort- 

 able, and in wet weather it is next to impossible to reach it with- 

 out wading nearly a quarter of a mile across a flat, low piece of 

 grass and mud. Moreover, these grottnds are so remote from the 

 heart of the city (from office to park will take a man about an 

 hour) that it often seems quite a task to get out to them. They 

 have always been the live-bird grounds par excellence of Chicago, 

 but the hulk of the target shootiug, taking ic all in all. has prob- 

 ably drifted off to the little weekly shoots at the different club 

 houses. 



It is doubtless to this state of affairs that there may be attrib- 

 uted the falling off in trap shooting, especially at targets, which 

 has been noticeable in this city of late. Or rather, the city has 

 not gone forward in this regard to the place where she belongs. 

 Kansas City shoots more lives birds, two to one, to-day, and the 

 little town" of Crown Point, Ind., which could be hid in one of 

 Chicago's big buildings, last year shot more artificial targets than 

 all of Chicago. That is the accepted statement, and if true, it 

 means that less than 50,000 targets were sold in all this city last 

 year. There should be that many sold in one month. 



It is evidently time that something should be done, and it is 

 very probable that Chicago will do it. The reputation of this 

 city for astonishing energy and thoroughness will hardly be al- 

 lowed to suffer in this undertaking, for amoug our shooters may 

 be numbered many of our most pushing and successful business 

 men. Chicago may possibly be forced to wait yet a little while, 

 but when she does go to work at this, there will be no half- way 

 measures tolerated. 



It is said that suitable grounds offer, not far from Woodlawn, 

 and only six miles out, with ample transportation facilities. It 

 will be proposed to erect commodious building, modern and com- 

 fortable, well lighted and well heated and probably to add the 

 further attractions of bo .vling alleys, billiard tables and possibly 

 a handball court. There will be ample coops and storage rooms, 

 and the grounds will be laid off for live bird and target shooting 

 in all its branches. If it be thought that the time has come for 

 this, and if the work be prosecuted soon it is very probable in- 

 deed that there will be seen at this city the most perfect trap- 

 shooting park and shooters' resort to be found anywhere in the 

 country. To this any member would of course have free access, 

 and the membership would be drawn from the 3hooting fratern- 

 ity, regardless of cluo lines. 



As stated earlier, this meeting is intended ouly as the begin- 

 ning, and there may he no definite plan arrived at in the discus- 

 sion. It is thought by some that the best plan will be to form an 

 incorporated company, a membership representing so much stock, 

 purchased at a price such as may be determined upon. All this 

 is matter for deliberation and practical council, and it will doubt- 

 less receive practical handling when the time comes. 



I understand that Mr. Fred C. Donald, President of the State 

 Sportsmen's Association, has been most active in the advance 

 work in regard to this preliminary meeting. There is, indeed, 

 behind this movement the full force of the State Association and 

 all the bodies of our numerous shooting clubs. It is therefore a 

 movement of dignity and prominence, and entitled to the last 

 ounce of assistance that any thorough-going sporting paper can 

 render it. I do not doubt it will receive such assistance so soon 

 as its real importance is fully understood. It is certain that this 

 paper will be quick to appreciate the bearings of such au enter- 

 prise, eager to help it as it may, and delighted to hear of its 

 eventual sucsess. 



Following is the call which is issued in circular fonn to-day, 

 too late in th- evening to catch Forest and Stream for this 

 week, even by wire: 



CALL FOR A MASS MEETING. 



To the Sportsmen of Chicago: 



For the purpose of mutual conference, and interchange of views, 

 as to the desirability of forming a permanent organization, hav- 

 ing for its object the acquirement by lease or purchase of suitable 

 ground upon which 1o erect the necessary buildings and appurte- 

 nance? required to inaugurate and sustain a w>ell ordered, modern 

 Trap Shooters' Park, you are cordially invited to meet with the 



undersigned at the Sherman House Club Rsoms, on Tuesday

Jan. 10.— Mr. Fred Quimby has unwittingly made a good deal of 

 trouble out in this country by causing it to be understood that he 

 couldn't get Jim Slice's shoes done until after the cold wave had 

 passed. Sou know, Mr. Quimby is making the uniforms for both 

 ihe teams of the U. S. Cartridge Co.'s shooting tour, and the car 

 can't start until the uniforms are done. For the benefit of those 

 who do not know, it may be stated that these uniforms are to be, 

 in both cases, of moleskin, with double-breasted coat. The color 

 for the Western team is to be lighter and more of a tan color than 

 that of the Eastern men— or else it is just the other way. The 

 hats are specially made in soft but rather stylish form. They 

 can be dented on the side or creased down the middle as the team 

 mascot may suggest. The boots all have nice copper toes, and 

 each man is provided with a nice new ribbon for a necktie. 

 Johnny Ruble mustn't carry his hands in his pockets any more 

 now or he will tear his new trousers and Charlie Budd really 

 mustn't play marbles on the grass or he will stain his knees. In- 

 deed, there ought to be full instructions given to the boys to be 

 careful about their clothes, because everybody is going to want 

 them to look well. Mr. Quimby is only joking when he says he 

 hasn't got the uniforms done. Everything is all ready now and 

 on Monday, the 27th, there will be something heard to drop at 

 Dayton. Ohio. Western and Eastern readers will watch with the 

 greatest interest the progress thence of the Iolanthe and her 

 crew. 



Jan. Sl.—(SiJecial by IFire).— The mass meeting of the sportsmen 

 of Chicago, called on Wednesday last for the purpose of discuss- 

 ing plans for establishing a complete and convenient trap shoot- 

 ers' park, materialized to-night, the attendance at the Sherman 

 House, being a small, but decidedly earnest gathering of the trap 

 shooters and trap lovers of this city. There were some faces 

 absent which would gladly have been welcomed, but the enthus- 

 iasm of the sportsmen on hand made up largely tor such lack of 

 numbers as was noticeable. The attendance might have been 

 larger had the meeting been more widely understood. Mr. F. C. 

 Donald was chairman, Mr. C. D. Willard secretary. The best of 

 feeling prevailed, and there was practical unanimity as to the 

 desirability of the movement proposed. It is more certain than 

 ever that Chicago realizes her handicapped situation in trap- 

 shooting matters, and she will take steps to remove the handicap 

 by getting grounds suitable to a city of her size. 



There were a number of rousing good speeches made. No 

 grounds were chosen, but a committee of five was appointed to 

 investigate. The members of the committee are Messrs. Cleaver, 

 Sheahan, W^ells, Eustis and Eich. The Committee on Organiza- 

 tion are Messrs. Felton, Shepard, Burton, O'Neill and Organ. 



There were present to-night aurmg others the following gentle- 

 men. Messrs. F. C. Donald (President Illinois State Sportsmen's 

 Association), Abner Price, C. E. Willard, P. S. Eustis, H. W. Jen- 

 ney, J. E. Price, C. E. Burton, W. L. Shepard, Fred Quimby (of 

 New York). H. McMurchv (of Svracuse), E. C.J. Cleaver, M.J. 

 Eich, J. W. Seahan. F. A. Place. W. L. Wells, J. P. O'Neill, J. J. 

 Kleinman and Mr. Beardsley. Meeting adjourned on call. 



Jan. 18.— Mr. C. W. Budd writes to his team-companion, R. B. 

 Organ, that he will be on hand in Chicago next Thursday, and 

 ready for that tie shoot-off with Messrs. Riley and Elliott, of 

 Kansas City. This match will be shot at Watson's Park, Grand 

 Crossing, on Friday. P. M., Jan. 24. It is very probable that it 

 will be concluded at 50 birds, $50 a corner, as Mr. Budd writes that 

 he does not feel able to stand a longer match, he having been 

 very ill of influenza and being now only convalescent. 



On Saturday, Jan. 25. Mr. Organ and W. W. McFarland will 

 shoot the match which was announced last week in these columns. 



The "grippe" has made havoc among our shooters, and many 

 are reported ill. Mr. W. P. Mussey has been in bed for a week 

 with what appears an aggravated case.

OHIO NOTES. 



DAYTON, Ohio. Jan. 21.— Clubs and individual shooters in Ohio, 

 Indiana and Kentucky are looking toward this point, and 

 scores of them are coming to" the opening match of the champion- 

 ship series between the East and W T est teams that is to be shot 

 here next Monday. The weather has been delightfully spring- 

 like all along, and hopes are that this favorable condition may 

 continue until after the great contest. The traps, targets and 

 shells for the event are here, and the shooters themselves are ex- 

 pected to begin coming in by Friday of this week. All members 

 of both teams use 12-gauge guns, except the two Perrys of the 

 Eastern team, and they shoot 10s. 



The race between the teams is to be 30 singles and 5 pairs, 

 thrown from three traps, and the match is to be shot in the Sun- 

 day Ball Park. The Heikes Haud Holder Company puts up a cash 

 prize of $25 for the team making the best score, and the Dayton 

 Gun Club will give money prizes for the best individual score 

 in each team on that day. This is the rendezvous for the two 

 teams, and here they get together for the first time and board 

 their special car with guns, ammunition and baggage for the four 

 months great tour. 



Several of the members are expected to arrive here Friday to 

 participate in an all-day live bird tourney on the 25th inst., and 

 a local team will challenge them for a match at Standard targets. 

 One thousand live pigeons have been purchased, irom which to 

 select 125 old blue birds to be used in a special match between H. 

 McMurchy and Rolla O. Heikes on the 27th inst., 50 birds each 

 for a purse of $50. Trie other 800 pigeons will be shot at in special 

 match at Lang's Road House for special prizes. 



It would be difficult to exaggerate the excited interest that this 

 tour of the big teams has created in trap-shooting in all this 

 region. Clubs have formed everywhere, and they are banging 

 away all the time. Matches are shot here every day in the 

 week, and the local papers are daily filled with the scores. 



On Thursday of this week the Cleveland and Dayton teams are
