THE GIFFARD GUN, 



The Giffard Gun and Ordnance Company Limited, is now 

 added to the list of English corporations, it has a capital of 

 £25(1,1X10, in shares of £1 each. The directors of the new company

Oliftouville avenue, Belfast,, and at 11 Queen Victoria street, Lon- 

 don, E.C. (chairman at the Mid Kent Water Company Limited). 

 Consulting and technical advisor, Mons. Paul Gidard, Paris. 



In a recent publication issued by i hose concerned in floai mg the 

 stock of the company, the promoters say, toucbiug the inventor of 

 the gun and the merits of the arm itself: 



"M. Paul Giffard— the inventor (with his brother) of the well- 

 known Giffard Injector— has, after many years study and a great 

 outlay, iiertected his system for the use of liquefied gas as a sub- 

 stitute for gunpowder or other explosives, to the satisfaction of 

 some of the leading authorities in Europe. Siuce perfecting the 

 8, 8, and 12 millimeter guns as applied to sporting and ride pur- 

 poses, and also pistols of varied caliber, M. Paul Gid'nrd has been 

 devoting his entire attention to the perfection of a rifle suitable 

 for military purposes, as also the application of his invenl ion to 

 cannon and other warlike iustrumeuts, in which he claims to have 

 already achieved results sufficiently satisfactory to justify his 

 belief that the adaptation of liquefied gas for war materials will 

 be successful. The vendors state that they have already entered 

 into a contract, for the sale of the rights tor the United States of 

 America, including North and South America, excepting Canada, 

 for a very large sum to the principal firm of gun and ammunition 

 manufacturers in that country, and that they have received sub- 

 stantial offers from the leading manufacturers in the principal 

 European cotmtries to whom the guns h-vve been submitted, and 

 whose approval has been accorded. The completion of the 

 negotiations in regard to these is now pending. 



"The liquefied-gas gun appears to be destined to create a new 

 era in the manufacture and use of all classes of sporting guns and 

 . rifles, also pistols and saloon arms. By it many of the difficulties 

 which hinder the adoption of magazine rifles are obviated. Guns 

 of 0, 8 and 12 millimeters are capable, according to caliber, of 

 firing from 50 to 300 consecutive shots without recharging." 



The following are the claims advanced by M. Paul GfiTard in 

 respect of his new liquefied gas gun: 



1. Absence of the usual report, fire, smoke, dirt and smell. 



2. Great precision, the force used being capable of the most 

 accurate adjustment. 



3. No recoil. 



4. No heating of the gun, even when fired with the greatest 

 rapidity. 



5. The gun is small, light and inexpensive, and can he handled 

 withperfect safety. 



6. The projective power does not deteriorate, but is ns effective 

 after a lapse of twelve months as when the reservoir or carl ridge 

 is first loaded, and is not affected by damp. 



7. The reservoir- containing the liquefied gass is small and light, 

 and the cost is very small. 



8. Spherical or elongated conical bullets and small shot can he 

 used. 



In order to realize the practical advantages of this inveution it 

 is only necessary to remember that the gun is supplied with a 

 metallic reservoir charged with liqueded gas, fixed under the gun 

 and holding, according to the caliber, from 50 to 300 e lunges. 

 These may be discharged in rapid succession, as may be desired, 

 without loss of effect. To recharge the weapon it is only neces- 

 sary to substitute a full reservoir for the empty one; this can be 

 instantly done, the reservoirs being made interchangeable, They 

 are light and cheap, practically indestructible, and can easi ly be 

 supplied through gunsmiths. 



According to news just received from London ihe Colt Co. has 

 "bought the American rights to the. Giffard gun patents for £200,000, 

 Experts who have seen the gun in practice are enthusiastic in its 

 praise. The French Government is said to be experimenting on 

 its application to cannon of the largest size. 



DAVENPORT, IA. 



Davenport, la., Oct, IT.— The Forester Gun Club, of Davenport, 

 held their semi-annual tournament Oct. 15 to 17. The attendance 

 was not large, owing to bad weather and because a large number 

 of our sportsmen are ou t after game; but those who were in 

 attendance received a royal welcome and had three davs of pleas- 

 ure. Owing to sickness a number of the old stand-bys were not in 

 attendance. Mr. Emmerson, of the Foresters, is laid up with a 

 broken limb, but is in good spirits, and is counting the days when 



baugh, G. E. Converse, B. O. Heikes and Mr. Davenport, of Day- 

 ton, O., and W. H. Skinner. Tne live birds were an extra good lot. 

 and Jim Stice can tell you how it happened if he will. A number 

 of the hoys go to Omaha to attend Parmalee & Nasou's tourna- 

 ment, Oct. 22-24. All ties were divided unless otherwise stated.

CALIFORNIA STATE SHOOT. 



Sacramento, Oct. 11.— Interest in the State Association match 

 was well sustained, and the gathering has been a great success. 

 Tnis morning there were, a few live birds on hand, and it was de- 

 cided that the first event of the day should be a field "shoot." 

 This was an innovation on ordinary styles of trap shooting, the 

 idea being to have the contest approach as nearly as practicable 

 to field shooting. The idea was to have the shooter stand at a line 

 35yds. from the traps, facing the sam°, with gun cocked and 

 loaded and stock below the point of the elbow, and to call "ready" 

 to the puller. He starts walking toward a line 25yds. from the 

 traps, which under no circumstances must he pass. Immediately 

 upon the shooter crossing a line between the two (the 30jds. line) 

 the trap is opened without further notice, and he is then privi- 

 leged to shoot, having use of both barrels. The shooter must not 

 advance after the trap is sprung, aud should a bird fail to rise the 

 shooter must stop at the point where he was when the trap was 

 sprung and remain there until the bird rises. The referee orders 

 another bird if necessary. 



There was some splendid shooting done by Louis Nicolaus, of 

 the Pelican Club of this city, especially distinguishing himself at 

 bluerock shooting. In the 50 bird match he tied out champion 

 Chick and Taber of Los Angeles for first honors, and proved him- 

 self a quick and reliable shot. The youngest shooter on the 

 ground was Mr. Cadwalader, over whom none of the older shots 

 have much advantage in skill. Chick, of San Diego— the man 

 who defeated the world-beater, Captain Brewer— always shoots 

 well. He was in very good form throughout the meeting, and 

 when not first in a race he was always in at the division of the 

 spoils. Henry Bassford of Vacaville, Charles Hass of Stockton, 

 and F. Coykendal of San Jose, were also in the front rank of the 

 contestants. 



The shoot-off of the Fay badge match was a notable one. The 

 match was at 20 single live birds for the $50C badge, and the high- 

 est scores were mane by Henry Bassford, Chas. Haas, .1. M. Mor- 

 rison and Mahlon Osborn, who tied on 19 birds each. They shot 

 off the tie at 4 birds, and all killed but Morrison. Osborn dropped 

 out of the second 4, Bassford and Hass again tiping. Thev tied 

 also on the third 4 and again on the fourth, and then agreed to 

 decide the temporary ownership of the badge on the foUowing 

 day. 



At the conclusion of the 50-bird match four dozen birds had 

 been secured, and the men went to the traps to settle the matter. 

 It was agreed that they should shoot off at 20 birds each. This 

 was another exciting trial of skill. Each shot a 10-gauge gun, 

 standing at 30yds. from the traps. The rules of the Association 

 provide that the badge shall he shot for under Hnrlingham rules, 

 wbich provide for a circular boundary line 80yds. from the cen- 

 tral one of the 5 traps. But the grounds had been laid out as 

 prescribed by the American Association's new rules, which pro- 

 vides for a more circumscribed boundary, in the shape of a horse- 

 shoe, terminating in a straight line from heel to heel of the shoe 

 at the score (30yds. from the traps), and either by special agree- 

 ment or common consent the match was commenced and shot 

 out under the latter rules. This change from the original con- 

 ditions governing the match caused Mr. Bassford to lose the 

 prize. 



He missed his Otb, 17th and 20th birds, and Haas his 2d, 13th and 

 16th, causing another tie on the 20 birds shot at. The birds were 

 all hard hit and died just outside the boundary line. Then the men 

 agreed to decide the match with the 6 birds remaining in the 

 coop, givine each 8. The first 2 were killed. Bassford's 3d bird 

 was a low-flying dusky incomer, and as the shades of evening had 

 already fallen upon the field, it was difficult to see plainly. Bass- 

 ford waited until the bird was within about 30ft. of him, and 

 slightly overshot, but succeeded in crippling it. Then it rose rap- 

 idly, and when almost directly over his head (he standing on the 

 dead-line) gave it the contents of his second barrel, killing it. 

 The force of the charge drove the bird a few feet ahead on its 

 course and it fell squarely on the line between the flags and rolled 

 over, leaving only about an inch of its tail feathers inside the 

 line. The bird was decided a lost one by referee Sperry. Had the 

 Hurlingham rules been followed, as prescribed, it would have been 

 scored for the shooter. As Haas killed the third and last bird, the 

 beautiful and valuable diamond badge went into his possession 

 for at least one year. The scores were:

MADISON COUNTY LEAGUE.— Cazenovia, N.Y.— The seventh 

 meet of the Madison County Sportsmen's Association, and the 

 last one of the seasoD, takes place at Eaton, N. Y„ the latter part 

 of this month. Eaton, although the smallest village represented 

 in the association league, never does anything by halves, and all 

 are looking forward to a jolly time. Every county ought to or- 

 ganize a league the same as this one, for out of it will come some 

 good shooters— HAMMERi^Ksa. 



WHITEHOUSE, N. J. 



On Wednesday, Oct. 15, a team match between the Union Gun 

 Club, of Springfield, N. J., and the White House Gun Club, was

 posed of 8 men each, at 25 bluerocks per man. The Union Gun 

 Club won by 155 to 09. Sweepstake shooting was also indulged in,

HUTCHINSON, KAN. 



HUTCHINSON, Kan., Oct. li.-The Gun Club, of our city, held 

 a very pleasant two days' tournament Oct. 7 and 8. Although 

 we had not a largo attendance the shoot was a very enjoyable
