Revolver Shooting' In England. 



The new 20yds. revolver target for Bisleyhas just been issued. 

 As the old target (3io. bullseye and Sin. center to bull) Is now ob- 

 solete it may be interesting to know that all the records on it 

 were made by American*. The 12 shot stationary target record 

 was a highest possible made by the late Chevalier Ira Paine, in 

 pool shooting at Wimbledon in 1889, the records for disappearing 

 target, sliding target and rapid firiog, are all three held by Wal- 

 ter Winans at this target, with scores of 41, 40 and 39 respectively, 

 made at Bisley and Wimbledon, he baving made tbe highest pos- 

 sible of 42 in botb, the first in practicing last year. 



As this target willnot now be used in English competitions Mr. 

 Winans had a try at the new 2in. bullseye'on April 20 before sev- 

 eral witnesses; a front wind blew the smoke in his face and made 

 him have to abandon the rapid-firing competition, but at the dis- 

 appearing target he made 39 with the target revolver and 38 with 

 the military. 



At the sliding he made 35 with the target revolver. The3e are 

 the best on record scores to date on this target. The highest pos- 

 sible is 42. The revolvers used were Smith & Wesson.

A Week Ahead. 



The Forest and Stream cannot report trap tournaments a 

 week ahead of their occurrence, but can and does report import- 

 ant Western events, like the Grinnell, la., tournament aud the 

 Kansas City tournament a week ahead of any other paper. 



That's the kind of a trap journal this is. 



If you want the earliest, fullest, correctest, completest and best 

 illustrated report of such meetings, ask your newsdealer for the 

 Forest and Stbeam. 



Just as likely as not you'll find in it, set out in Forest and 

 Stream's famous graphic trap score type, the full details of a 

 match like that of Messrs. Budd and Grimm at Grinnell, for a re. 

 port of which you might vainly hunt until you were blind, in the 

 columns of our esteemed contemporaries who are bringing up the 

 rear of tbe procession. 



DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



Great times there will be at Knoxville. Tenn., next week when 

 the cracks of the East, the West, the North and the South will 

 come together in friendly rivalry before the traps. Cleveland ex- 

 pert traps. North's electric pull, blueroek targets, big prizes and 

 a jolly lot of home shooters as well as visitors will be the com- 

 bination. Charles Ross, not the loat Charley of newspaper 

 notoriety, but the auburn-haired blonde who hustles shooting 

 afEairs in and about Kaoxville, promises a rousing reception to 

 tbe visitors and likewise promises that they will not be allowed to 

 suffer from the ''blues" during their stay. On Sunday at 5 P. M. 

 a half-dozen or more of shooters from New York and New Jersev 

 will board tbe Shenandoah Valley Express of the Norfolk & 

 Western R. R.. at the Pennsylvania depot, and after speeding 

 along past Philadelphia, Harrishurg, Hagerstowu, Luray, Shen- 

 andoah, Grottoes, Basic, Buena Yista, Natural Bridge, Roanoke, 



them while in Knoxville will stop at the Hotel Hattie, some will 

 go to the Vendome and others to the new Schubert.

Win. G. Clark, proprietor of the Wopsononock Shooting Park, 

 at AUoona, Pa., anticipates a big time at his tournament to be 

 held next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. There are eight 

 events on the programme each day, each event to be at 18 blue- 

 rock targets, with a uniform entry of $1.50 in each eveut As 

 Paul North's system of handicapping (w.ito a slight modification) 

 is to be used there can be no ' playing off" in the small events in 

 order to »et a chance to shoot as an amateur in larger events. 

 Shooting will begin at 9 A. M. each day. When 15 entries or less 

 there will be 3 moneys; over 15 entries, 4 moneys. Target money 

 will be deducted from the entries. 



G. G. Zeth, who has made euch a pronounced success with the 

 "Trap and Trigger" department of the Altoona Gazette* is one of 

 the best known field and trap shots in Pennsylvania, as well as 

 a writer who wields a facile pen and has an abundant knowledge 

 of general sporting matters. The Gazette is still a young journal, 

 but has won a decided foothold in the hearts of the people.

Williameport, Pa., is quite a town for cyclers, and F. C. Steuber. 

 of the Williamsport, Rifle and Gnu Club, who is also an enthusi- 

 astic L. A. W. man, says there are at least 375 riders in the town. 

 Several other well-known shooters of the town are excellent 

 riders. 0 



Young Alf. Hofmeister, a member of the Pittsburgh. Gun Club, 

 who is with Brown & Co., the leading sporting goods dealers m 

 the city, has acquired an enviable reputation by his expertness in 

 loading cartridges. Nearly all tbe ciuu members use shells of 

 Als's loading, and they swear by his methods.

After the team match at the New Jersey League match at 

 Rutherford on Saturday, delegates from the various clubs held a 

 meeting to decide upon the place for the June shoot. By unani- 

 mous consent " Wanda" (Mrs. M.W.Lmdslej) drevv for.lhe.choice, 

 which was in favor of the South Side Gun Club ot Newark, luis 

 club has amble facilities for a big shoot, and its grounds are easy 

 of access, being on the line ot the Pennsylvania Raihoad, less 

 than five minutes walk from the Emmett street station. The 

 club will make an effort to break the League record, so tar as 

 number of entries and of targets thrown are concerned. 



While in Williamsport, Pa., last week, Nelson A. Hughes, Mil- 

 ton F. Lindslev and the writer visited Charles H. Eldon, the 

 well-known naturalist, taxidermist, natural history student, field 

 shot and writer, and were very pleasantly entertained by that 



talented gentleman, who exhibited some beautiful specimens of 

 the taxidermist's art. Deer and elk heads, all sorts of wi> ged 

 creatures, snakes, toads, and a thousand and one other subjects 

 were shown, undergoing varions processes, the party being shown 

 the entire modus operandi through which the work is obliged to 

 go before the su injects are ready to grace the place for which their 

 owners intend them. Forest and Stream readers will doubtless 

 remember an article anent "the drumming of the woodpecker," 

 which appeared in these columns some months ago over the sig- 

 nature of Mr. Eldon. The identical woodpecker from the antics 

 of which Mr. Eldon deducted his conclusions was shown on this 

 visit. One of Mr. Eldon's masterpieces, a photograph of which 

 was kindly furnished the writer by that gentleman, represents a 

 fallen tree, in the hollow root of wbich a rabbit has a burrow. 

 The stump of the tree, the clump of bushes alongside, and the 

 surrounding grounds is covered with a fleecy mautle representing 

 snow. It is night and bunny is about to enter his burrow, after a 

 perhaps fruitless foraging trip. He is about to consider himself 

 safely at home, his nose just at the eutrance to his burrow, when 

 quick as a flash swoops down a deadly foe in the form of a big 

 horned owl, which loses no time, but just as its right talon touches 

 the top of the dead limb over bunny's back its left is thrust down 

 savagely and the cruel claws bury themselves in the haunch of 

 the shrinking animal. The outstretched wings, the ruffled 

 feathers, the fiery glare in the big eyes, and the wide-open bill, 

 combined, with the agonized look in the eyes of poor, helpless 

 bunny, are so terribly realistic that one can almost imagine he 

 hears the despairing pqueal of tbe rabbit as it realizes that it 

 cannot escape. "Only Just Caught," is the suggestive title of this 

 fine piece of work.

All communications for publication must be addressed to the 

 Forest and Stream Publishing Company, and not to any individ- 

 ual. Several reports have been delayed because this rule has not 

 been observed. 



O wing to the extreme scarcity of live pigeons the fifty live bird 

 match scheduled to take place on Col. Heritage's grounds at 

 Marion, N. J., to-morrow, has been postponed. The entry list will 

 remain open, however, and all who care to enter may send their 

 names, along with a $10 forfeit, to C. H. Townsend, trap editor of 

 Forest and Stream, 318 Broadway, N. Y. The receipt of each 

 entry will be acknowledged and when twelve entries have been 

 received a date will be announced for the sweep. This course is 

 adopted in order that when the match does come off there will 

 be enough birds to accommodate all who wish to shoot.

The Ohio Trap-Shooters' League. 



The annual tournament was held in Columbus, May 10, 11 and 

 12. The elements the first day, says the Ohio State, Journal, 

 which was made the official organ, conspired against the trap- 

 shooters, but in spite of the drizzling rain and threatening storm 

 every shooter within the confines of Columbus was headed 

 toward Sherman Park long before 9 o'clock. When the pro- 

 gramme began there were an unusually large number present 

 and the first event had even 50 entries. Once the shootiDg began 

 it was kept up incessantly, Rod the guns were banging without 

 intermission until about 9 o'clock, when a pouring rain comoelled 

 everybody to seek shelter. The crowd was large and'good 

 na'ured, and everybody was there to shoot. No one hesitated, 

 but. secured their tickets and entered everything that it was pos- 

 sible for them to get into. The average number of entries, in- 

 cluding two extra events, were over 40. One race was hardly 

 over before another was begun, and tickets were always bought 

 for two or three events ahead. There was a great crowd of hust- 

 lers pushing things and keeping tbe shooters agoing. Dr. G. M. 

 Watere, president of the State League, took off his coat early in 

 the day, and until after the last target had been shot he kept on 

 the jump, working as only he can in the interest of the tourna- 

 ment. The scores in the ten events of the first day were as 

 follows: 



No. 1. 10 singles, 81. No. 2. 15 singles, 81.50. No. 3, 15 single?, 82. 

 No. 4, 15 singles, $2. No. 5, 20 singles, $2.50. No 6. same. No. 7. 

 15 singles. $1.50- No. 8, same. No. 10, 15 singles, $1. No. 11, 15 

 singles. $2. Scores: , 2 3 , 6 6

The rrap-shooters held a protracted meeting at the Neil House 

 last night. The officers elected were: President, Dr. George M. 

 Waters of Columbus; Vice-President, T.W.Latham of Monroe- 

 vilh; Secretary and Treasurer, Ed. Taylor of Cincinnati. The 

 next annual meeting will be held at Columbus under the auspices 

 of the Sherman Gun Club, beginning the Sfcond Tuesday in May. 



The tirgets adopted were the bluerock and the United States 

 clay-pigeons. Each company donates half the targets. A vote 

 of thanks was tendered the State Journal and xll other donors for 

 their trophies. The State Journal and the Sporting Revieiv were 

 made the offic ; al organs. A legislative committee of ten was 

 appointed to look after game laws. 



Second Day. 



The second day was even more successful than the first. Every- 

 thing moved along smoothly and there was no cause for com- 

 plaint. The Sherman boys, almost to a man, neglected their own 

 pleasure and devoted their time to bustling to keep things mov- 

 ing, so that the visitors would not have tbe slightest cause for 

 criticism. The day throughout was gloomy and generally un- 

 favorable for trap-Bhooting, but that only had the effect of in- 

 creasing the amount done, the number of targets thrown being 

 6,915, an increase over the number thi own Tuesday of 310. The 

 shoot was conducted so well and the matches shot out so quickly 

 that the general opinion was that there was less shooting done 

 than on Tuesday. 



The battle for the elaborate silver trophy donated by Mr. J. H. 

 Robbins, editor of the Sporting Review, was fought with a vim and 

 earnestness seldom witnessed, Fourteen teams, representing the 

 flower of the shooting fraternity of the banner trap-shooting 

 State of the UnioD, entered the are*a brimful of pluck and deter- 

 mination. It was a veritahle contest of the giants, and despite the 

 inclemency of the weather some, remarkable scores were made. 

 Dayton carried off the valuable prize af'er one of the hottest, 

 fights known < o the shooting world. W. E. Limberg, bettor known 

 to the shooting world as ' Wicks," was accorded the responsible 

 position of reteree. T. W. Latham and C. H. Vank officiated as 

 judges. E. B. Appleman, of Columbus, occupied the scorer's box 

 for the occasion.

Third Day. 



The tournament which closed yesterday was in every respect 

 in point of weather the most successful ever held in the history of 

 the league. Since the organization of the league in 1887, com- 

 posed then of ten clubs, the membership has steadily increased, 

 and now carries on its membership rolls twenty-seven clubs in 

 good standing. Tbe efforts of the Sherman Rod and Gun Club of 

 this city to have a successful meet has met a substantial and well 

 merited re waid as the result. Oaioisnow in the front rank of 

 States in the matter of interest in trap-shooting tournaments, and 

 judging from the conversation of those who have attended and 

 participated in the meet just closed, aud from the favorable com- 

 ment of the sporting journals and fraternity at large, stands 

 well in the lead. It has certainly been a pleasure not only to the 

 members of the local club, but to the citizens in general who 

 have been brought in contact with the members of the league, 

 and it is not often that so larg^ a number of contestants In any 

 sport can meet, compete and part in so friendly a manner as the 

 members of the league. It is a matter of sincere regret that they 

 could not have been favored with more pleasant weather, but for 

 the entire three days of the meet the sun has persistently re- 

 mained behind the clouds, and if ever any spotting event was 

 held in cold, rainy and disagreeable weather, it is the one just 

 closed. 



The tournament next year, while arranged for May, will take 

 place later in the month, and thereby hope to have better 

 weather. The interest of the shooters in the meet was at white 

 heat from the very first, and it never for one moment flagged to 

 the end. While there were but five regular events set down for 

 yesterday's programme, there was a constant demand for "ex- 

 tra'' events, aad the programme shot yesterday was eleven 

 event3, with a large number of entries in each. The interest cen- 

 tered in the contest for the L. C. Smith $500 cup and the cham- 

 pionship of Ohio, and the result, as given in dp tail below, fully 

 verified the predictions made that the score would be both good 

 and close. 



It was thought that the challenge contest between the Buckeye 

 Gun Club of Dayton aud the Grassy Point Club of Toledo as the 

 result of yesterday's victory by the former club in winning 1 he 

 Spoiling Revieiv cup would be shot yesterday but it, was, by the 

 advice of fcbe secretary of the League, decided by the challeuged 

 club to take advantage of the rules governing all contests for this 

 trophy and postpone the contest until the full limit of the thirty 

 days allowed. 



The L. C. Smith cup was presented to the League by the roanu- 

 actu.-ers of the L . C. Smith gun, at the first annual meeting held 

 iu Galion in 1883. The first race was shot at Galion during this 

 meet at 30 single bluerock targets. Mr. R. O. Heikes won the cup 

 with a score of 29. Tne cup was contested for at a full meeting of 

 the League held at Davton in October. 1888. The contest was 

 changed to 50 single targets, and resulted in a tie between R, O. 

 Heikes and Geo. Hart; st ore. 43 eacL, Tne tie was shot at 50 tar- 

 gets and the result was another tie ou 47. In the second tie at 50 

 birds each broke 49. By mntual agreement the final tie was shot 

 at Dayton, Dec. 25, 1888, at 100 targets each, nnd won by Mr. Heikes 

 with a score of 93 to Mr Hart's 90. At the annual meeting at 

 Cleveland in May. 1889, Arthur Paul and Paul North tied on 47. 

 In the tie shoot at 25 targets, Mr. Paul broke 24 and won the cup; 

 Mr. N^nh broke 18. George Osborn won the cup at Toledo in 

 May, 1890, with the score of 47. George Osborn again won the cup
