BROOKLYN, Aug, 14.— One of the largest gatherings of old- 

 time wing shots, members of the Unknown Gun Club, met yester- 

 day at Dexter's Park shooting ground, Jamaica Plank road, L. I., 

 to hold the regular monthly shoot. Fifteen members went to the 

 traps to shoot at, 7 birds each, club rules, gun below the elbow 

 until the bird is oh the wing, only one barrel to count in score. 

 H. Knebel, Sr., the president of the club, killed 7 straight and won 

 the gold club badge with the first prize. J. Boyle won the second 

 prize after outshooting Hyde and Pfoblmann, 



A NEW DIVISION SCHEME. 



HARRISBURG, Pa.— Editor Forest and Stream: Clubs and 

 managers of shooting tournaments know the difficulty ex- 

 perienced of late i u getting their events filled each time and in 

 attracting shooters that will enter'each event. Dividing purses 

 into four equal moneys, and paying for best averages each day lias 

 had some good effect, hut at all shoots there are possibly half a 

 dozen good shots that win most of the prizes and the others think 

 it useless to compete with them and so refuse to enter, or if they 

 know of any experts being in attendance, they stay away 

 altogether. 



For one I claim that the prices belong to the best shots, and 

 it has cost the so-called expert lots of time and money to become 

 a good shot and it is natural he should want to get some of that 

 money back. But a number look at it from a different standpoint, 

 and that number is considerable, and they are the ones wanted to 

 fill the events at a tournament. 



Now, at a recent shoot 1 talked with a number of well-known 

 trap shots regarding the following plan of dividing prizes, and 

 they were of the opinion that it is a good one, but, 1 would like to 

 have an expression from a number of shooters, and would like to 

 see the plan tried at different places. Our club intend trying it 

 at. our next tournament, and you shall have the result here. 



The plan is to place a value on each target shot at, and a doublo 

 value on each one missed. 



For example, if the entry is for 10 targets at $1 (price, of targets 

 extra), the value of each target hit should count 10 cents, each one 

 missed 20 cents, and for each miss 20 cents would be deducted from 

 the amount of entry. The money remaining in the "pot" for 

 misses should then bo divided into 50, 30 and 20 per cent, as usual, 

 and go to those with highest, scores. It the entry money is $2, the 

 value of the targets hit would he 20 cents, of those lost 40 ce nts. 

 The events can be so arranged that each target has its value. 



To illustrate more, fully we will suppose a match at 10 targets 

 per man, 10 men enter at $1 each (targets extra): 



No. 1 breaks 10, wins for targets $1 00 



No. 2 " 9 " " 80 



No. 3 " 9 " « 80 



No. 4 " 8 " " 60 



No. 5 " 8 " • 60 



No. 6 " 8 " " 60 



No. 7 " 7 " " - 41) 



No, 8 " 6 " " 20 



No. 9 " 6 " " 20 



No. 10 " 5 " " nothing. 



Total 85 20 



Now the above leaves $4.80 to he divided into 50, 30 and 20 per 

 cent. No. 1 gets $2.10 in addition to the one dollar, making his 

 winnings $3. 40; Nob. 3 and 3 divide $1.44 to be added to their 80 

 cents each, and Nos. 4, 5 and 6 divide third money. Now the 

 shooters breaking only 6 or 7 ordinarily would get nothing, but 

 by this arrangement they get enough back to pay for their am- 

 munition at least, and that is just the point, for no matter how 

 small a share of the prize money a shooter gets it is my experi- 

 ence he will enter the next shoot. No. 10, only breaking 5 targets, 

 ought not to get a cent any way. I think it will also tend to im- 

 prove the shooting. If a. participant knows that each bird missed 

 has a certain money value he will be apt to shoot more carefully. 



This method possibly takes a little from the fir t money, but 

 betters second and third prizes. We know that it will bettor our 

 attendance of shooters here, but would like to hear from other 

 points and see the reports in Forest and Stream. We don't 

 want trap-shooting to lose its interest, and if this plan don't work 

 it may set some one to thinking out one that will. Another thing 

 with target shooting is that it is getting like glass halls, the boys 

 are getting "on to them" and becoming too mechanical. We 

 want a target that will be more uncertain in its flight, but yet 

 give a good-sized mark and fly long enough. 1 have something of 

 the kind in my head, but won't inflict it on you now.

MONTREAL. 



Montreal, Aug. 11.— Le Club de Chasse et de Peche had a sort 

 of formal opening of their organization to-day at their lately ac- 

 quired island below Sorel. The steamer Berthier had been char- 

 tered for the occasion, and between two and three hundred gentle- 

 men and ladies left the wharf at 9 o'clock, accompanied by the 

 Harmony band. It was a magnificent day for the river trip, even 

 if the wind was a little strong, so that when the Top channel was 

 reached the time had seemed to pass very quickly. The gentle- 

 men who are at the head of this club are: 



President, E. J. Phaneuf; Vice-President, Charles Desmarteau; 

 Treasurer, D. Dion; Secretaries, J. B. Bureau and L. A. Lapointe. 

 Committee, H. Boisseau, Jos, Riendea/ti, H, ClQUthjer, H. Dubuc 

 and J, 0. Pellandv 



The club is to be congratulated on its good judgment in the 

 choice of a location, for better shooting grounds could hardly be 

 hit upon anywhere in the country. About ten miles below Sorel 

 the entrance to the upper channel is reached, and here what looks 

 like a narrow river is entered, and although only about. 100yds. 

 wide it is plenty deep for vessels of the draught of the Berthier. 

 The scenery here is as pretty as somo of the most picturesque 

 spots among the Thousand Islands. The channel, about a mile 

 from its opening, is divided by several small islands, low-lying, 

 and flooded in the spring, and the home of plover, woodcock and 

 duck when the water subsides. At last Isle du Chenal du Moine 

 is reached, and the first view of the new club house is caught be- 

 tween the trees. When the steamer drew up to the wharf, it was 

 seen to be a substantial two-story building, the top flat being at 

 present occupied by eighteen camp beds. 



As there were two different, sporting contests on the card no 

 time was lost in getting all hands to work, and those who had 

 come out to capture fish as well as prizes soon bad their rods and 

 lines in order and were making their way to some quiet spot, 

 where the big fellows most do congregate. Then the shooters 

 crossed the channel and the traps were soon in working order. 

 There were two competitions, one at blackbirds and one at live 

 birds and both were kept going simultaneously. The entries were 

 greater than was expected, there being 28. and when the last man 

 Stepped to the score there was just one bird short. The shooting 

 was kept, up until 7 o'clock, and then there were some ties to shoot, 

 eff in the blackbird match, which was done on board ship, their 

 traps being adjusted on the upper deck. Following are the scores: 



Shoot at 7 live pigeons, plunge traps, 26yds. rise, 7 prizes:

There were some half dozen other shooters, but as the scores 

 were small they did not interfere with tbe distribution of the 

 prizes. 



There were two special prizes given for the largest game fish 

 taken, which went to Mr. Jos. Rindeau for a 121bs. dore. The sec- 

 ond special prize for the largest perch was won by A. Dorion, Jr. 



CLAREMONT. 



Claremont Shootino Association.— Aug. 16.— Many shooters 

 took advantage of the half-holiday and fine weather to run dowu 

 and waste a little powder and shot. The hundred live birds on 

 hand soon proved insufficient, being all shot by 2 o'clock, and the 

 bluerocks were brought, out and were the order of the day after 

 2:30 P. M. Some parties for the first time shot on these grounds, 

 and expressed pleasure at the afternoon's sport— the wonder is 

 that there are not fifty to a hundred every week. Plenty of birds 

 will be on hand the first of the week and all through the week 

 hereafter, this is the first time we have run short; we have used 

 nearly 3,000 birds in four months. Below are the scores of most 

 of the events with averages on bluerocks: 



Ten nluerocks. 5 traps, 50 cents entry, Keystone rules, all events 

 alike, ties divided:

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9— The Alameda County Sportsman's 

 Club held its sixth and last shoot for 1890 at the Oakland Trotting 

 Park this afternoon at live pigeons. The day was pleasant, and 

 the presence of a large number of ladies and gentlemen to wit- 

 ness tbe races gave an air of life and gaiety to the scene that 

 otherwise would have been lacking. The wind was directly from 

 the west and across the line of the traps, but not sufficiently 

 strong to interfere with the sport. The prizes for the season were 

 as follows: First, gold match-safe, with diamond setting; second, 

 gold medal for chain; third, gold dog-whistle for chain. Mr. C. 

 M. Osborn won the first with a score of 64 out of a possible 73. W. 

 W. Haskell second with 59 birds, and S. I. Kellogg third with 58 

 birds. The shoot for August was an interesting one, as the birds 

 were of the liveliest sort, the score standing as follows: 



Osborn .110111111111-11 Mayhew 111111111111—13 



Kno wles 011111011111—10 Wilson 11 1101111101—10

Jones OOmiOOOlll- 7 Kellogg 111111110110-10 



Haskell 111111101111-11 



Particular mention should be made of the fine skill in shooting 

 displayed by the veteran trap-shooter, Mr. W. E. Mayhew, who, 

 it will be observed by reference to the score, killed his 13 straight 

 birds with his first barrel and. no retriever needed to score his 

 birds. The challenge shoot of the Alameda against the Gun Club 

 of San Francisco will take place at the grounds of the Oakland 

 Trotting Park on the last Saturday in August. 



JERSEYVTLLE. — St. Louis. Mo., Aug. 15— The twelfth annual 

 tournament of the Central Illinois Sportsmen's Association will 

 take place Aug. 26, 27, 28 and 29, at Jerseyville. The programmes 

 for the affair are out, and but a glance is necessary to show that 

 experienced heads were instrumental in its make up. R. Hutch- 

 ison, the secretary of the Association, has labored diligently to 

 make the affair a success, and to his efforts is due the fact that 

 $500 in valuable prizes have been donated to be contested for by 

 members of the Association. Besides the special prizes the Asso- 

 ciation guarantees $350 in cash, distributed among the open-to-all 

 events on^the card.- Inanimate targets will be used exclusively, 

 and the A. C. A. rules will apply. There will be two sets of 5 

 traps, and with the substitution of the walk-around system will 

 insure plenty of sport for a large crowd. On the last day Jim 

 Elliott, of Kansas, who recently defeated W. O. Beck, of Indian- 

 apolis, for the champion's cup, and Ed Spencer, of - Carrollton, 

 HL, will engage ja a 100 liye-bjrd njatph tor §100 a side,— V$$m
