Off-Hand Canadian Shots. 



Aurora, March 10 —The second regular match was shot on 

 Friday, March 4, by the several clubs in the Dominion Oil-hand 

 Association, except Aurora, King-, Vauehan and Newtonbrook, 

 which shot on Saturday, 5th. The heavy smle on the latter date 

 rendered close shooting very difficult. The next match will be 



on June 4 or 5. The following is the result:

 500. Points allowed each contestant except Messrs. Travis,

The English National Rifle Association. 



The English National Rifle Association has just published its 

 report of entries, scores etc., of its last Bisley meeting. For the 

 last few years certain of the Volunteer shots have been writing to 

 the papers and objecting to the prizes given for civilian com- 

 petitors and saying they were a loss to the association and had to 

 t>e paid for by the Volunteers out of their own entries for the 

 volunteer prizes. . , 



It is interesting to find by the report that this idea is entirely 

 erroneous; the civilian prizes have had many more entries this 

 year than last (which means of course money made by the associ- 

 tion), but there has been a great falling off in the entries for vol- 

 unteer competitions, leaving a deficitjon the year's working of over 

 875,000. 



This shows that the best thing would he to increase the number 

 of civilian competitions for revolver, hunting and sporting rifles, 

 and cut out a lot of the volunteer Martini rifle competitions if the 

 association wants to pay expenses. 



The most, paying competitions and those which had the largest 

 increase of entries were the revolver competitions, the entries for 

 which increased from 1,441 in 1890, to 2,762 in 1891, being nearly 

 double; the Colt at the "running deer," for hunting rifles, had 147 

 entries as against 45 the year before; the Holland for double bar- 

 rel hunting rifles at the "running deer," had 192 entries against 

 18 the year before; the sporting rifle (called "any rifle" in En- 

 gland) had 1,576 entries as against 1,473 the vear before, in the 

 competitions devoted to it. The Martini rifle competitions for 

 volunteers had a decrease of over 2,000 entries. 



In the revolver competitions, the scores were on an average 

 nearly one point, better than the year before, which shows an im- 

 provement in skill. The report says: "Revolver practice has 

 proved to be so popular that a large addition to the number of 

 targets will be necessary." A double set of rails is also to be pro- 

 vided at the "running deer" range, so as to enable both the "run- 

 ning deer" and "running man" to be run "at any time when de- 

 sired," instead of on alternate days. 



Beideman Rifle Club. 



Beideman, N. J., March 11.— The following are the official 

 scores made by members of the Beideman Rifle Club for the week 

 ending to-day. Conditions, 21yds., 34in. 25-ring target, 10 shots 

 per string, off-hand.

The "Forest and Stream" Tournament. 



Forest and Stream has received the versions of both the 

 Hurt sou and Essex Amateur Rifle Club in reference to the dis- 

 puted shots in match shot on the latter's range on Feb. 18, and as 

 the members of each club are equally confident of their position 

 in the matter, the Forest and Stream considers it advisable to 

 declare said match off. The scores are therefore void and the 

 match will be shot again on Thursday, March 31, on the Essex 

 Amateur range in Newark. 



The Heidenreich' Rifle Club. 



New York, March 14 —Enclosed please find circular of our

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



The Dexter Park Trap-Shooting League is now an assured fact, 

 the Unknown Gun Club, Glenmore Rod and Gun Club, Parkway 

 Gun Club, Emerald Gun Club and Linden Grove Gun Club having 

 already signed the roll. Mr. Miller, proprietor of Dexter Park, 

 Will give a trophy valued at $150, to be contested for by teams of 

 io men each, each man to shoot at 10 live pigeons. Fuller details 

 will be given in our next issue. 



:# 



W. H. Hartlove, the well-known sporting goods dealer of Third 

 and French streets, Wiimingtou, Del., is one of the most enthusi- 

 astic members of the Wilmington Rod and Gun Ciub, and duriDg 

 the Baltimore shoot he did some lively hustling for the tourna- 

 ment to be held at Wilmington on March 29, 30 and 31. The shoot 

 will be held on the Riverview Baseball grounds, whirh may be 

 reached by the Riverview electric cars. This will be the initial 

 venture of the club, and no pains will be spared to make it an en- 

 joyable occasion. The programme comprises ten target events 



entries will be $1 for 10-bird events, $1.50 for 15- bird events, S3 for 

 20-bird events and $2.50 for 35-bird events. The chances ore that 

 an immense crowd of amateurs will be on hand to enjoy the 

 sport. 



* " * 



Semi-ti-opical Florida is out with an attractive programme for 

 a target tournament to be held at Jacksonville on March 23 and 

 24 by the Jacksonville Gun Club. The shooters will be divided 

 into* expert and amateur classes, ihe former to shoot at unknown 

 and the latter at known angles. There will be three gnaranteed 

 purses each dav, the aggregate amount for the two days being 

 f,500. Event No. 8 on the first day, at 15 singles, will have a $75 

 purse, the entrance being $4; No. 6, at 20 singles, has a $75 purse, 

 and No. 8, at 25 singles, $5 entry, hns a $100 purse. On the second 

 dav $75 is guaranteed, this being at 15 singles, $5 entry. Alike 

 amount is guaranteed for an event at 20 singles $4 entry, and $100 

 is the size of the purse for an event at 25 singles, $5 entry. On the 

 second day there, will also be a contest open to teams of any three 

 men at 20 singles per man, $15 entry per team. W. F. Coachman, 

 president, Jacksonville, Fla., will give any information desired. 



* * * 



A few lines in regard to the word "champion" will not be amiss. 

 The title of "World's champion" is claimed by John L, Brewer. 

 Whether his cliam to the title is well founded or not has no bear- 

 ing on the case. This I do know, however, that Brewer and Ful- 

 ford never contested, and never pretended to contest for the title 

 of champion. On the last day of the Brewer-Fulford matches at 

 Marion, after the men had agreed to shoot a 250-bu-d match, 

 Brewer raid: "Mr. Fulford, if you beat me, I'll throw up my 

 hand«!" Not one word was ever said about the affair being a 

 "championship contest." Mr. Fulford never used the word 

 "champion" in connection with himself, nor did he ever sanction 

 its use; so there is no reason for him being called a "dethroned 

 champion." 



* * * 



Al Heritage, the well-known "Old South Paw" of Jersey City, 

 informs me that he has concluded to run a big tournament on 

 hi» Marion grounds on April 28, 29 and 30, the first two days at 

 targets and the third day at live birds. A great big programme 

 is being arranged and Mr. Heritage says it will open the oplics 

 of the shooters. There will bs no barring and no handicaps in 

 anv of the events, but everybody will take an equal chance to win 

 or lose. The big attraction on the third day will be an open-to- 

 the-world sweep at 25 live bird*, $25 entry, Hurlingham rules to 

 govern. In order to create a little excitement Mr. Heritage will 

 Sive a $10 gold piece to the best looking contestant during the 

 three days shoot and another $10 shiner to the homeliest man. 

 A third coin of like value will be awarded to the man who uses 

 the poorest gun. A big restaurant tent will be pitched on the 

 grounds and there will also be a comfortable tent for the use of 

 the press representatives. 



There was great scurrying at Acton Park, Baltimore, about 

 12-30 on March 10. The rain was coming down in torrents and 

 the wind blowing at almost cyclonic speed. Nearly all the tents 

 had flies stretched in front, and before the wind had been blow- 

 ing for niany minutes the flapping of the flies loosened the negs 

 and those in'charge of the tents were obliged to brave the pour- 

 ing rain in order to capture the aforesaid flies. This was by no 

 means an easy task with the canvas controlled by a fifty-mile 

 wind. Squires's tent suffered several rents before the unruly 

 appendage could be secured. The writer attempted to get control 

 of the fly of the Forest and Stream tent, but at the very instant 

 when bethought he was master of the situation there came an 

 extra gust of wind which whipped the canvas away from his 

 grasp, and this would probabiy have wrecked the tent had he not 

 succeeded in pulling up two side pegs, thus striking the tent. 



*** * 



Hereafter the New Utrecht Rod and Gun Club will shoot at 

 Woodlawn Park, Long Island, on thelast Saturday of each month. 

 On Saturday this club will pit a team of 10 men against a like 

 team from the Amersfort Gun Club, of Flatlands. Artificial 

 targets will be used. 



* * * 



Next Wednesday, March 23, some lively work will be seen at 

 Hackettstown, N. J., when James L. Smith will hold an all day's 

 shoot, with live birds as targets. About 600 birds will be on 

 hand, and a big crowd of shooters have promised to attend. 



John Erb's "Old Stone House Grounds," will be the scene of a 

 bi°- shoot on Thursday, March 24. The attraction will be an open 

 to all sweep at 25 live birds per man, the entry being $20. There 

 will be one money for every four entries sn that all will have an 

 equal chance at the purses. This shoot will begiD at 2 P. M., and 

 will be preceded and followed by impromptu events at the option 

 of the shooters. Savera' Connecticut shooters are expected. On 

 the same will occur the contest for the historical 4001b. hog. 



* * * ' 1 .1 1 



After considerable discussion as to live bird shooting ability 

 Robart Bare and William Kraemer, of the East Side Mutual Gun 

 Club of Newark, N. J., have concluded to settle the question of 

 supremacy in a contest before the traps, and have concluded ar- 

 rangements for a 25 bird match for $50 a side, to be shot at Weid- 

 enmayer's Park on Saturday, March 19. Plenty of birds will be 

 on hand to oblige those who wish to indulge in sweepstake shoot- 

 ing.
