FOREST AND STREAM.

fact, but it would be sbsurd to use such a target and such a difs- 

 tanee m a formal championship match. Even in outfioor matches 

 the authorities at Wimbledon fixed upon SOyds., and with a close 

 measuring target it is easy enough to determiae the merit of 

 various shooters down to the finest degre e. With such a system 

 of string meaaurement for shots, too, it ia a matter of the greatest 

 readiness to make comparisons with records at other distances. 



In all our consideration of the subject we are always mindful 

 of the fact that our readers and the possible contestants for such 

 trophies are scattered over the entire country, and that it would 

 be more gracious to tit the competition conditions to suit the con- 

 venience of the greatest number and to iucur some trouble and 

 expense on the part of Forest and Stream, rather than to 

 grandly bid aJl to appear on a certain day at a certain place and 

 bar out all who may not find it possible to report. As has been 

 before stated, the desire is to malie it as broadly inclusive as pos- 

 Bible. Everybody who has a revolver with which he thinKs he 

 can make a finer and closer sc-^re than any other shooter, should 

 have a chance to show his skill. To limit it to service revolvers 

 such ns ail ordnance board may at some time have designed or 

 recjiiired, or to bar out all weapons except such as have been un- 

 improved since they left the factory, would be at once to throw 

 out the finest target revolvers in the country. Where do we 

 And a w eapon that has not had its trigger-pull improved or its 

 sight changed for the better, and as for ammuEition, Gould, in his 

 capital little book on the Pistol and Bevolver, says: "There is a 

 general impression among the shooting fraternity that reloaded 

 ammunition is superior to the factory made. This is doubtless 

 true if prepared by an expert," audit is fair to asstune that those 

 who may appear in a championship contest are experts. 



When in our issue of March 13 last we sketched ouD the general 

 rules which we thought sliould be followed, it was for the purpose 

 as we then stated of inviting criticism. In commenting upon 

 them Mr. Winans, under date of March 24, writes: "I think the 

 sketch of the rtiles for the rev^olver competition very good, and I 

 cannot think of any alteration to be made in them."

New York, A pril 9. 



BOSTON, April 2.— The Massachusetts Rifle Association Wal- 

 nut Hill Range has known few more pleasant days generally than 

 to-day, and cue ot the best Fast Day meets in the history of the 

 association was enjoyed. More than 100 shooters were on hand, 

 and they banged away at the targets all day. The shooting con- 

 ditions were good. P. S. Killam won i-he silver imd gold military 

 medah O. H. Pratt the bronze and silver, and B. A. Lenfast and 

 W. I. Uetchell the bronze military medal. 



Api-il A— Tee shooting tournament for the Boston Athletic As- 

 sociation champion gold medal was finished this evening. The 

 conditions were 10 scores with the revolver, 10 scores with the 

 pistol, 10 scores with the rifle at rest, and 10 scores with the rifle 

 ofC-hand. F. B. Crowninshield captured the prize for the highest 

 aggregate of the 40 scores, his total being 3,487. Sumner Paine was 

 second, with a total of 3,37S. The rt-entry tournament, 10 scores 

 with each of the weapons of the champion match, W6s also de- 

 cided. F. B. Crowninshield won three out of the four matclies, 

 securing the cup oft'ered for the highest aggregate of the 40 scores. 

 He also gets three other cups for the highest scores in three 

 matches. 



MASSACHUSETTS RIFLE ASSOCIATION. -The shooting 

 house at Walnut Hill range is too small, and a committee, con- 

 sisting of Messrs. J. N. Frye, J. B. Fellows and N. C. Nash, has 

 been named to secure the sum of S2,000 for a new headquarters. 

 The contributions are flowirg in, and the erection of the new club 

 house, and a good o- e, too. is an assured fact. Many annual 

 members are taking life membtrsihip, the fee going to the build- 

 ing lund, while many direct donations are coming in. No shoot- 

 ing organization in the country, hardly even excepting the N.R.A., 

 nas done more to advance marksmanship with the rifle than the 

 MasBaohusetta Association, and none is more deserving of en- 

 CQUTAgios commeod^tioQ from the sbootmir frat^raitsr.

CLUB ROUNDERS AND PROFESSIONALS. 



Editor Forest Qud Stream: 



My last to you, published in Fore.'^t and Stream, March 2Ij, 

 was a ''protest" against the unsportsmanlike way in which the 

 competing teams werp made up at the shoot on March 21 for the 

 Bergen Gun Club trophy. I want now, if I can, to suggest a rem- 

 edv for the future. 



First — When a man belongs to more than one club, then ht him 

 be compelled to select one club with which he will shoot on team 

 competition for that current year, and have it so understood by 

 the clubs to which be belongs. 



Second — When clubs challenge each other, let them exchange 

 the names of the respective teams, so that if any objections are to 

 be made they can be made before all the pfeparations have been 

 completed and the teams brought at considerable expense to the 

 shooting grottnds. 



Third— Bar out rigidly all ammunition men or men employed 

 by gun firms, powder firms and sportsmen's goods firms geiier- 

 ally. If they want to show what they or their wares can do. let 

 them shoot at such places and times as will best advertise their 

 stock; and let it be "dog eat dog" \vith them, and let them not 

 come to amateur shows and grab all the money and drive the 

 young begmners to the wall. 



1 want s outly to maintain the position that men like Penrose, 

 Q.uimby. McMurchy. Courtney, Von Ijengerke, etc., have no busi- 

 ness among amateurs, by virtue of their business alone; tbe.v 

 have gone into business to make troney and to make monev out 

 of shooters by selling them goods, and it is a shiime for them' also 

 to try to take tne few dollars left in a shooter's pocket after his 

 outfit is purchased by omshooting him at the traps. 



Considerable leeling has been developed lately against some 

 parties well known to the shooting public, and I may in next issue 

 voice some more of it; let our club friends speak out also. 



New York, A pril 4. ad Vance. 



HARRISBURG TRAP INTERESTS. 



HARRISBURG, April 0.— If aU indications do not fail this will 

 be one of the greatest trap-shooting seasons that Harrisburg 

 has ever had, no such interest has been manifested among the 

 general list of shooters since the formation of any kind of a shoot- 

 ine organization herp. 



The list of shooters who have worked with perseverance and 

 pluck for the last four or five years it seems are about to be re- 

 warded as each day's shoot brings new members before the traps 

 for practice, and I doubt if the arrival of the Forest and Stream 

 has ever been looked forward to with any more interest than the 

 last issue, as all knew a fuU report of the Detroit shoot would be 

 given, and as the dally papers had stated that the handicap placed 

 on the experts would have to be modiiled all were anxious to 

 know how it was to be doue. The manner in which the question 

 was met and disposed of by the association meets the approval 

 of all the shooters in this section. 



We have no experts here, hut have one shooter whrm it may be 

 well for the amateurs to keep close watch of, "Commodore Nu^t," 

 known by all shooters who havt^ ever attended anv of our shoots 

 as one of otrr most popular and fun loving members, and a gentle- 

 man besides. His friends wUl note with pleasure that out of 75 

 targets shot at he broke 73, doing up all the balance of the boys in 

 grand shape. In making tnis remarkable score he used his 10-bore 

 haramerless Smith, and the way he literally wiped them out 

 should have been seen to be appreciated, and he displayed con- 

 siderable anxiety that his score might become known to the 

 manasers ot the Dealers' Association and bebeoompeUedto shoot 



with the experts in our coming tournament. If the association 

 keep the resolve not to char.ge the plan laid out at the commence- 

 ment. I shall predict one of the largest meetings here in May that 

 this State has ever heJd. "I am not a prophet, nor the son of one," 

 but with all due rpspect to our Western txperts, I think Harris- 

 burg will head its list with nion' than two experts. Thei e are ex- 

 perts in the Bast that will shoot the handicap and live, and I beg 

 pardon if they do not show the metal Ihey are made of and do it. 



We are having every Saturday open sweepstakes, and although 

 the weather has been bad we have had fair attendance. On next. 

 Saturday, besides the regular matches, a prize of an L. C. Smith 

 gun will be shot for at 2n targets, A.ssociation rules. Below we 

 hand you last Saturday's scores. Weather cold and raw:

THE SARATOGA SHOOT. -The second annual shooting tour- 

 nament of the Saratoga Gun Club, of Saratoga Springs, N. Y., 

 assisted by the Interstate Manufacturers and Dealers Association, 

 will be held June 2-5; gS.OUO in purses, and open to all. The man- 

 agers feel justly pl<»ased to slate that ws will nflerfor competition 

 the most liberal aggregate of guaranteed purses— at the lowest 

 entrance fee that the trap shooters of the country have yet re- 

 ceived—and in addition there will be equally liberal purses given 

 for daily and grand averages. The shootirg and general manage- 

 ment will be under the supervision of Mr. H. A. Penrose, whose 

 experience insures a certainty of avoiding the many vexatious 

 annoyances known to trap-shooters. We have adopted the Key- 

 stone system— irap and targets. The grounds have a clear back- 

 ground-are accessible and snfliciently large to run two sets of 

 traps of 10 each. If supported by tlie trap-shooting fraternity, as 

 we nope and expect, this tournament will be the forerunner of 

 many upjn whicb will be expended time and money sufficient to 

 insure even better offers than those above. Our programme will 

 be issued later. Send all iDqniries to Saratogo Gun Club, Saratoga 

 Springs, N.Y. Please sena us the names and addresses of trap- 

 snooters of your vicinity. 



OHIO TR AP-SHOOTERS' LEAGUE.-Detroit, Mich., March 

 27.— Mr. Paul North, of the Cleveland Target Co., announces an- 

 other liberal departure in trap-shooting methods in the annual 

 tournaments of the Ohio Trap-Shooters' League, to be held at 

 FinOlay, O., May 12-14. Tlnknovvn angles, to be determined by a 

 new ''vaiiator," will be partly used, and only a cent and half will 

 be char.ged for targets, it being the intention of the club not to 

 make any money, Hut to give the shooter all the profits. The L. 

 C. Smith tronhy for Ohio will be contested for at that time. A 

 very good programme, partly open snots, is asstired.- E. Hough.

ATHENS, Pa., April 5 — The Athens Gun Club are just now

 five members met on April 4 for practice, as the weather was 

 rather unfavorable. With one exception all were beginners at 

 the trap and the scores were not very high. Fi f ty single kingbirds,
