During the 20 bird sweep at John Erb's on Thursday, some of 

 the contestants expressed a wish for a longer race to take place 

 on the same grounds some time during April. A little canvas'ng 

 levealed the fact that a match at 50 live birds per man, 850 entry, 

 with the pot divided on the ba»is of one money for every four 

 men wa= about what was wanted. The following named shooters 

 have promised to enter: W. S. Cannon. C. M. Hedden and Harry 

 E. Smith, of Newark; Capt. Cranmer, of Jersev City; Allen Willy, 

 of Hartford; Ed Collins, of West Hoboken; M. F. Lindsl«y, of Ho- 

 boken; John Riggott. of Rockaway; E. D. Miller, of Springfield; 

 J.Frank Kleinz and Ricnard Irwin, of Philadelphia. It is also 

 probable that R. Roberts. A. Rust. J. Rothaker, W. Greenwood, 

 W. H. Wolstencroft, A. Sheets, Prof. Mench and-1. Rothacker, all 

 well known Pennsylvania shooters: Samuel Oastle and Gus 

 Freche, of Newark; W. G. Hollis, of Kearney: Charles Smith, of 

 Spriugflfld, and others will enter the list. The date has not been 

 definitely settled upon, but it will be shot either on April25, 26 

 or 27. The exact date will be announced in these columns next 

 week.

Forest and Stkkam tackuowledges the receipt of one of the 

 famous tournament and club score books published by the Key- 

 stone Manufactuiing Company. This book is a decided boon to 

 club secretaries and scorers, and particularly to those who appre- 

 ciate the benefits to be derived from placing their club scores 

 before the public. Each page contains spaces for eighteen scores 

 of 35 shots each, and bv the insertion of carbon paper between 

 the leaves, one impression gives ihe scorer a copy of the score and 

 also makes four manifold duplicates. One of these bandy books 

 should be in the possession of every club in the country, as the 

 price is a mere bagatelle and the book will last a year or more. 

 They may be procured from the Standard Keystone Company, 

 New London, Conn,

The April shoot of the New Jersey Trap-Shooters' League will 

 be held at New Brunswick, under the auspices of the Brunswick 

 Gun Club. The date has not yet been fixed. The league should 

 on this occasion use two sets of traps, reserving one for the team 

 shoot while the boys are Wowing in their ducats in sweepstake 

 shooting at the other set. They should also engage a competent 

 scorer to make manifold copies of the scores in all events.

The Wayo Gun Club, of Philadelphia, hold its annual meeting 

 on March'12, ibe following officers "being elected for the ensuing 

 year: President, A. Ulary; Vice-President, Thos. Scargle: Secre- 

 tary. E. Hansbenv; Treasurer, H. Kane; Corresponding Spcretarv. 

 P. F. Yost; Field Captain, F. Hepsler; Trustees— VY. Ulary. J. 

 Side, Thos. Scargle. The club will hold a big shoot on their 

 grounds at, Sixteenth and Cayuga streets on April 9, for members 

 only, when they will contest, for a gold and a silver badge, also 

 merchandise prizes. A great interest is being manifested among 

 the members in revolver shooting, and it is likely that a revolver 

 team will be organized during the coming season.

The Brunswick Gun Club have decided on Good Friday, April 

 15, as the day to hold the third shoot of the N. J. Trap-Shooteis 

 League. , 



A Connecticut paper says: "The Manufacturers' and Dealers' 

 tournament at Baltimore was not a success. The first day saw 

 only thirty men at the score, and noon of the second day a heavy 

 storm came up and the tournament was declared off.'" 



At the Baltimore tournament '.referred to above the en tries in 

 the ten events on the first dav were as follows, in order: 29, 33, 33. 

 31, 37, 31, 38, 22. 39. 25; total. 318; average for each event 31* 10 . On 

 this dav the surplus was something above $310; of this 55 per cent. 

 was added to the purses and 45 per cent, was piid out for aver- 

 ages in the three classps. The above bare facts will go a consid- 

 erable way toward disproving the claim of failure. 



C. Detlefsen, of the Coney Island Rod and Gun Club, and C. E. 

 Morris, president r f the Atlantic Rod and gun Club, of Coney 

 Island, will shoot, a match at 100 live birds each, at Woodlawn 

 Park, Long Island, $150 a side and the birds, 30yds. rise, 80yds. 

 boundary, play or pay. modified Hurlineham rules. C. W. Win- 

 gert, of the Fountain Gnn Club, is stakeholder. A return mat ch 

 under the same conditions will be shot off at the 'West End 

 grounds. Coney Mand, on April 31. The betting is about even, 

 both men beiDg the crack shots of their respective clubs.

The Saratoga Gun Club is out with an attractive programme 

 for the tournament oi the Eastern New York Trap League, to be 

 held at Saratoga on April 5. The hig event of the day will be the 

 contest for teams of four men from any club in the above Lf»ague, 

 each man to shoot at 21 singles and 6 pairs of kingbirds, the 

 entrance f<=e being $4 per team. The programme also shows five 

 10-bird and four 15-bird events, the entry fee being $1 and $1 50.

Loads and Guns. 



New York, March 29.— Editor Forest and Stream: "Fairplav" 

 in your issu« of March 10 criticises Mr. Fulford tor shooting fU 

 drams of wood powder in a Tib. 15oz. gun, with the result of losing 

 his match with Mr. Budd, and cutting his cheek and fiugers to 

 pieces, so that arnica and court plaster had to be liberally ap- 

 plied. * 



Mr. Fulford no doubt made a mistake and may see the errors of 

 his ways bv this time. He will find that he cannot make water 

 run up hill and that it is dangerous to recklessly play and experi- 

 ment with buzz saws and powders without advice from men who 

 have been through the mills before him. Mr. Fulford will come 

 around all right; he is a grand shot and properly t quipped a foe 

 worthy of any man's steel. According to "Fairplay" one would 

 judge that, for a proper equipment belongs a 101b. 10 bore cannon. 

 To this I wish to take exceptions, as it brings us back ten years or 

 more to the reign of black powder, and a handful of it iu now 

 practically obsolete guus. All this has changed and science has 

 taken the place of weight and quantity. Nitro powders are used 

 by all leading men, and when black powders are used at all they 

 are used in finer grains and smaller loads. Heavy weight guns 

 are not needed to give best results for field or trap work. The 

 heavy 10-bores if not ungentlemanly are out of date, like muzzle- 

 loaders and other sundries. 



Men like Mr. Fulford, who insist upon shooting or can be in- 

 duced to shoot unreasonable quantities of powder and handicap- 

 ping their work thereby as well as hruisiug and crippling them- 

 selves, are happily an exception. The experience of the best 

 authorities in the world on such matters has proved beyond a 

 doubt that moderate charges of the standard nitro powders, 

 properly loaded, give the best all-around results, and moderate 

 charges can be used in comparatively light guns without punish- 

 ment to the shooter. To back up my assertion. I need only point 

 to the official reports of the Forest and Stream's late gun and 

 ammunition trials, where a 12-bore Francotte gun, weighing lei s 

 than 6lbs., made the highest percentage of pattern, and though 

 shot with only Sygdrs. of Schultze powder, on a most ud favorable 

 day, the official report says that 'with No. 8 shot at 40yds. the 

 penetration was above the average of a dozen previous guns;" 

 that the penetration at 60yds, deserved comment for the well- 

 sustained average. 



If "Fail play" wants more proof thatl'ght guns do not neces- 

 sarily mean bruised cheeks, black-and-b ue shoulders and cut 

 fingers, and yet give good results, I would like to mention the fact 

 tha r during the third day of the last big Wellington tournament, 

 with a list of over 50 entries, the highest average, 91 per cent., was 

 made with a 25in. barrel. f%lb„ 12-bore Francotte gun, loaded 

 with less than 2$£drs. of E. C. powder, and no bruises for the 

 shooter. Of course I do not wish to be understood as recommend- 

 ing such a feather-weight gun and light load as an ideal trap gun 

 and load, but only wish to show thatlight guns arenot necessarily 

 eoupled with a bruised shooter and ineffective work, only a little 



knowledge and science has to be taken into account to load nitro 

 powder to best advantage. 



Three to 3>^drs. of best nitro powder in a 7 to 7 1 /£!b., 12-bore gun 

 of modern make and boring will be found sufficient, to successfully 

 do all work for field traps and most, fowl shooting under the most 

 trying conditions. 



By the way, we heard nothing about the crippled condition of 

 Mr. Budd, who used enough Schultze powder to do the work 

 cleanly and successfully, yet we are officially informed thai he 

 never used over 3J4drs. of any nitro powders, and that his gun 

 weighed 71bs. 10oz. "Fairplay" no doubt will b« able to reform 

 Mr. Fulford, hut he will Dever be able to revive 101b. cannon! shot- 

 guns for ordinary field and trap-shooting. 



As to handicapping the 10-gauge guns 2yds., I think it 'is per- 

 fectly proper on principle. In most European countries they are 

 not allowed for tran-shooting at all. Many clubs here allow 

 nothing larger than 12-bore. Everything being equal, a 4-gauee 

 will outsboot a 10-gauge, and a 10-gange should outsboot a 12- 

 gauge on this principle; but as individual guns differ there are 

 many 13-bores which will beat a m8jor.tv of 10-borps.

An Al Bandle Memorial. 



Cincinnati, March 26, Editor Forest and Stream: The friends of 

 the late Al Bandle, the well known Cincinnati pigeon shot, who 

 bad a na'ional reputation, have prepared a neat arn's'ic cabinet- 

 size memorial photograph representing the united Ohio, Indiana 

 and Kentucky sportsmen floral p'ece, on one side of which is re- 

 presented an elegant likeness of the genial champion. The inten- 

 tion is to erect a monument to Al's memory, and the proceeds of 

 the sale (at 25 cents eacit) of the memorial will be so applied. It 

 is the design of "Wick" ( W. E. Limberg) his life long friend, and 

 gun and kenuel editor of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. The 

 pilurec can be secured by Bpplyingor addressing the Bandle Ai ms 

 Co. of Cincinnati, O. __ 



North Side Tournament. 



The North Side Gun Club held an interesting tournament at 

 the Qaeen's County Driving Park, Long Island, on Tuesday and 

 Wednesday of last week. The first day was devoted to Keystone 

 targets, of which about 1,700 were thrown. The day was a fairly 

 good one for outdoor sports, but still the attendance was very 

 light, in fact none of the events had more than twelve entries, 

 and of these seven were out-of-town shooters. Taking into con- 

 sideration the number of target sbooterR on Long Island, at least 

 fifty entries should be expected at an affair run on their native 

 heath. Among the contestants were T. H. Keller, of Plainfieid. 

 the "Tee Kay" of the U. S. C. Co.; W. R. Hobart, of Newark, rep- 

 resenting Von Lengerke & Detmolri; Neaf Apgar, of Plainfieid, 

 representing H. C. Squires; Eucch D. Miller, of Springfield, rep- 

 resenting the Keystone Target and Trap Co.; Eddy Collins, of 

 Hoboken, representing the W. Fred Quimby Co.; A. C. Hunt, of 

 New York; Dr. Metcalf, Samuel Lyon and Hugh Knebel, Jr., of 

 Brooklyn. The management ofjthe Bffair was under the direct 

 charge ot Samuel Lyon, who is president of the club, and a vete- 

 ran in handling tournaments. Everything about the sbooting 

 bonse was in first-class order, and the club members exerted 

 themselves to make the visitors feel at home. Jacob Pentz acted 

 as referee and Frank Mason was official scorer. The full pro- 

 gramme of ten events was shot off, as were four extra events, 

 the last three of the latter b'iing under the expert-amateur rules. 

 Below are details of The day's work. Entry to 10-bird races $1, 15 

 birds $1.50, 20 bird? $2:

EOG FOR THE CLOSING DAY. 



Wednesday broke with most abominable weather conditions. 

 All night the rain had been coming down in torrents and there 

 was but little let up to the down-pour until atout 10 o'clock. 

 Along toward noon « heavy fog settled down over the shooting 

 grounds, making it imperatively necessary to put in a quick first 

 on a bird that was inclined to keep its tail toward the sroorer. 

 Twenty yards beyond the traps nothing could be seen but fog. 

 The lurds, as might be expected, were slowio rise and lazy on 

 the wing. Only five shooters were on the grout d before dinner, 

 but after this had bf en dispensed wit b the number was doubled. 

 Among the shooters were Mr. and Mrs. M. F. Lindslev, of Hobo- 

 ken: F. G. Moore, of the New Jersey Shooting Club. "Dick" 

 Pfister, of Brooklyn; Cord., C. M. and Chas. Meyer, and A. E. 

 Mead, of Knoxville, Tenu. The opening shoot was at 5 birds per 

 man. 85 entry, 25 and 27yds. rise, a moneys:

Dinner came next, and then followed the appended events, the 

 first b^ing at 10 live birds, $10 entry, 25 aud 27yds. rise, this being 

 a record breaker, as the scores show. 



The next was at twelve live birds, $13 entry, three moneys,

Wyandottes vs. Easton. 



South Bithlehem, Pa., March 35.— The Wyandotte Gun Club, 

 of tins plat e, attended a live bird shoot at Ea a on to-day. The 

 principal feature of the shoot was a match for $50 a side between 

 four of the Wyandotte Gun Club against five of the crack shots 

 of Easton, 10 birds, Hurlingham rules, and losers pav for birds. 

 The day being favorable there waslajlarge attendance of members 

 of various clubs and spectators. Tne most objectionable feature 

 to the shooters was tha t owing to he location of the grounds they 

 were compelled to face the sun, which was shining bright and 

 powerful. The birds were a lair lot, and when on the wing were 

 unusually swift and stroug. The Easton men w T ere beaten hope- 

 lessly at the end of the ninth round and decided to quit: 

 Wyandotte. Easton.
