NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-TUe steamer St. John and a wet but 

 merry company of New York marksmen returned late (his even- 

 ing from the Navesink Highlands, where the New York Sclmctzen 

 Corps, under the leadership of its popular captain, G. H. Wehren- 

 berg, bad held its annual fall shoot. The winners of prizes in the 

 different events were as follows: Eagle shoot— M. von D win a e

 arms. Mr. Rohring was crowned shooting king and took first 

 prize. Tho target was SOln. in diameter and had a bullseye of 4in. 

 Each man was entitled to three shots, which were measured from 

 the center, the shortest total measurement entitling the marks- 

 man to first prize, and sn on. H. Eyers first, with "Win.; B. Zet- 

 tler second, with tin.; F. Hoops third, with 4J£in , and H. Buthfer, 

 C. Meyer, D. Roster, P. Feige and C. N. Brume in the order named. 

 The extra premium for the best bullseye went to J. Bunz, who 

 made a nearly perfect center shot. 



VIENNA, Sept 17.— The further large use of smokeless powder 

 on the field of battle, wh'ch has been made one of the chief fea- 

 tures of the recent military maneuvers in Hungary has resulted 

 in confirming the view which has already been arrived at by the 

 authorities on army matters, that the adoption of the new explo- 

 sive would compel the institution of extensive changes in the 

 tactics of war. There were 77 battalions of infantry, 36 squad- 

 rons of cavalry and 128 pieces of artillery engaged in heavy firing 

 for four honrs during the maneuvers. The commanding officers 

 were unable to judge of the position and strength of the opposing 

 forces by the density of the smoke as they can when the old pow- 

 der is used, and it took a very long time to fix the positions of the 

 firing batteries. While the infantry was under cover it could 

 scarcely be discovered at all, and no estimate could be made of its 

 force or movemeuts. The new powder emits an unpleasant odor. 

 Altogether it is very unpopular with the army. 



EMPIRE RIFLE CLUB.— An election of officers and the gal- 

 lery shoot were held by the members of the Empire Rifle Club at 

 their headquarters in the Deutsck-Amerikauische .-chuetzen 

 Halle. 12 St. Marks place, on Wednesday evening, Sept. 17. The 

 election resulted as follows: President, E. Smith; Vice-Presi- 

 dent, J. Grimm; Treasurer, C. Zettler, Jr.; Secretary, A. Stahl, 

 Jr.; Shooting Master. Wm. Roseubaum. The following were the 

 scores on the Massachusetts 12-ring target, possible 120 points, 

 100ft. distance; C. Zettler, Jr., 108, J. Grimm 108, W. Maisenholder 

 100, J. Zettler 99, H. Stahl, Jr., 97. F. Schneider 91, E. Smith 89, A. 

 Krueger 85. The shoot will be continued weekly.

CHICAGO TRAPS. 



CHICAGO, Sept. 15.— A meeting will be held this week to deter- 

 mine the members of the team for the great return match of the 

 Chicago-Kansas City race, which will be shot at Elliott's tourna- 

 ment at. Kansas City, probably beginning Tuesday, Nov. 11. The 

 team will be probably fifteen men, and the race at 100 birds, $100 

 a man. This will be a great shoot. Chicago will win it this time, 

 so the boys aver. 



A number of private matches are up for early dates here. 

 Messrs. Ben Dicks and R. C. "Stevens" will probably get together 

 this week for 100 birds, $100 a man. This will be shot at. Mak-saw-ba 

 grounds. Mr. Dicks will shoot Mr. Geo. T. Farmer a 50 birds 

 race, ©50, at Watson's Park,, this week probably. 



A good deal of fun has been had here to-day by the boys over the 

 Montgomery Ward tin pigeon medal, which was won by George 

 Kleinman at the last State shoot, The terms of the competition 

 state that the shoots must be held in Chicago, and, therefore, when 

 a recent call was issued for the winner to defend the medal at the 

 out-of-the-way village of Morgan park, where it seems there is a 

 tin pigeon club, there was a rebellion, and the upshot is that the 

 call had to be reconsidered, and issued more at the convenience 

 of the Illinois State Sportsmen's Association, to which, it should 

 be remembered, this medal belongs unreservedly. "Did you hear 

 that?" 



There is a story conneeted with this change of base in the medal 

 shoot. They were shooting tin pigeons out at Watson's Park, and 

 when the shot would strike the bird and fail to open it, some one 

 would say, "Did you hear that?" This never tailed to irritate the 

 inventor of the bird, Mr Best, who invariably explained that it 

 "was only a glancing shot," etc. Then Roll Organ, who is per- 

 haps the most inveterate "kidder" on earth, grasped the situation, 

 and soon everybody was saying, "Did you hear that?" They gave 

 Mr. Best the worst of it so had that he swore he. would never allow 

 one of his birds to be shot on those grounds again. Hence the 

 Morgan Park call, and the rebellion, and hence also a new phrase 

 among the Chicago shooters. Everybody now says, "Did you hear 

 that?" E. Hough.

CATSKILL TOURNAMENT. 



Catskill, N. Y., Sept. lS.-Tolley's eighth kingbird tournament 

 took place on the grounds in West Catskill, with a good attend- 

 ance of crack shooters from Albany, Troy, Cohoes, Tannersville, 



Saratoga, having tied for it at the last Troy tournament, Mr. 

 LeveDgston not being on the ground, was ruled out. Paul, of Co- 

 hoes. and Mattice. of Catskill, shot at 25 birds, Mattice capturing 

 23 and Paul 21. This medal must be won three times to become

 tice have each won it. once. The next shoot for this trophy will 

 take place at Catskill next month, and already there are a dozen 

 entries; any member of the Eastern League may contest for it. 

 1 lie ladies on the grounds undoubtedly spurred Mr. Mattice on to 

 his excellnet. score by their continuous applause, and when he 

 completed his score the hearty cheers could be heard echoing 

 from the surrounding hills for some time. The next shoot prom- 

 ises to be of unusual interest, as the medal and other events will

Ever since the Catskill Club began shooting, an effort has been 

 made to make 50 straight, and for a couple of years G. F. Tolley 

 had a standing prize for the one making a clean score of 50. On 

 the 4th inst. T. B. Beach shot with a new L. C. Smith 12- bore, 7M 

 gun, received from the Hunter Arms Co. that day. In shooting 

 at tne 50 birds, as above, he "got the hang" of the gun, and said 

 he would undertake to break 50 straight. This he did, making the 

 longest string of hits (55) ever made on the Catskill grounds, 

 which not only speaks well for Beach, but also for the gun.

BROOKLYN. 



Brooklyn, Sept, 17.— The entire landscape at Woodlawu to-day 

 presented one scene of gray in gray and the rain came down with 

 hardly any intermission during the entire afternoon, while the in- 

 vitation cup shoot of the Coney Island Rod and Gun Club took its 

 course at the Woodlawn Park grounds. The following organiza- 

 tions were represented: Coney Island Rod and Gun Club, Fountain 



donors of the prize was very close during the entire shoot, the 

 scores never showing any greater divergence than two in the total 

 of birds killed. The Parkways had a erood chance of winning the 

 trophy until the last round, when H. W. Bookman met with mis- 

 fortune. The Centrals and the Coney Islanders ended with a tie, 

 and the latter, as hosts, presented |tbeir plucky adversaries 

 with the prize instead of shooting off the tie. The marksmen went

KEYSTONE RULES. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I have received so many inquiries regarding the new Keystone 

 rule No. 4 that I am unable to reply to them all personally, and. 

 take this means of answering. 



There shall be five traps set in a straight line, 5yds. apart, and 

 three traps 60yds., measured from No. 3 trap. In measuring from 

 there that will bring the outside trap.t in a circle. Traps to be 

 numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 for inside and 6, 7 and 8 for outside traps. 

 Outside traps to throw a straight incomer, a right quartering in- 

 comer and a left quartering incomer. Inside tr^ps. No. I a right 

 quarterer. No 2 a left quarterer. No. 3 a straightaway, No. 4 a 

 right quarterer. No. 5 a left quarterer. With our new switch 

 board outside traps can be pulled as well as inside. Traps must 

 be pulled by indicator. If gun fails to go off unless caused by a 

 defective primer, it is a lost bird. If bird breaks in trap or gun 

 fails to go on account of bad primer, the indicator must be turned 

 in such cases each time. H. A. Penrose, Keystone Mfg. Co. 



MILWAUKEE, Sept. 16.— The last regular sboot of the South 

 S^'de Gun Club for the season was held this afternoon at. National 

 Park. For some rea°on or other the shooting did not come up to 

 the usual average mark, some of tho old experts even shooting 

 worse than their young friends. A. W. Fiiese carried off the 

 houors of the day. The live-bird shoot resulted as follows at 7

 club owns 400 acres of land in Forest county, which it is intended 

 to make the starting point for a large deer park. Several thou- 

 sands of acres are to be bought in the near future. 



BROOKLYN, Sept. 16— Monthly shoot of the Kings County 

 Sporting Club for gold badge at Dexter Park. The rain kept the 

 majority of the members home, and those that did shoot had a 

 large head on them from the target excursion of the Conrad Thiel 

 Association the dav before. That accounts for the poor scores of 

 some of the members; 20 bluerocks, 2 traps, right and left quar- 

 terer, 18yds. rise:
