FOREST AND STREAM. 



[June 2, 1892. 



neat a straggle as one often sees, and in keeping his promise to 

 break 30 straight Miller proved that his nerve and staying powers 

 are still under good control. 



And by the way. this Joe Hunter, who pushed the bovs so 

 closely, is a revelation to the craft. Hunter is oue of the most 

 prominent and popular pension attorneys in the Sou tb, having 

 his headquarters in Washington, D. C, where he employs over a 

 score of clerks. Joe has spent the best part of his time for a 

 couple of years in wielding the rod and gun, being an enthusias- 

 tic sportsmen, but until the present season he had done very lit- 

 tle target work. When he ran up his big averages at the Capital 

 City Gun Club's tournament the "talent" smiled, saying "Wait 

 till he gets on strange soil and among strange people and see how 

 soon he'll prove to be an 'in-and-outer!' " 



Eut for once the "talent" was mistaken, as Joe waltzes down to 

 Tennessee soil and rolls up averages of 91 4-10, 85 S-10, and 89 4-70 

 in three days work, and this while shooting at unknown angles. 

 He will bear considerable "watching" at future tournaments. 



Another man who proved himself to be a "stayer" is Mayor S. 

 W. Rhea, whom I have previously mentioned in connection with 

 the Bristol Gun Club. Mayor Rhea is a man about 6J#t. in height, 

 weighing about 195tbs., with a sandy complexion, the true "shoot- 

 ing eye," and an inexhaustible fund of good nature, which en- 

 ables him to take either victory or defeat with equal grace. 



Roger Van Gilder, secretary of the local club, and his brother 

 Sommer. the club's popular captain, are both enthusiastic and ex- 

 pert shots, and considering the fact that they did all the hustling 

 besides a large snare of the clerical work during the tournament, 

 their work was highly creditable. 



"Good Old Billy" Wagner, who a few years ago ranked among 

 the best target shots in the country, is coming back into his old- 

 time form, and will soon make the boys hustle to beat him. A 

 little over a year ago Billy was afflicted with some sort of a kid- 

 ney tronole, which caused him to temporarily retire from the 

 arena; but he is now recovering his health, much to the delight of 

 his shoitiug friends. 



Lemuel J. Aston, whom I have mentioned in connection with 

 the Lef ever Arms Company, is another rattling good shot and one 

 who will surprise the talent at the coming New York State shoot 

 at Syracuse. 



Auburn-haired Charley Ross, spectacled Frank Mead, his 

 brother Arthur. James C. White, Thomas C. Eldridge, S. B. Dow, 

 J. E. and J, M. Ross, all are first- jlass shots and genial fellows 

 withal. 



Frank Mead is considered, when in condition, one of the best 

 shots in the Knoxville Gun Club, but at present he is unable to do 

 a great deal of shooting, having just began to recover from an 

 eight-months' sickness. To Mr. Mead the writer is indebted for 

 a very pleasant drive, taken on the morning after the close of 

 the tournament, all the sights in and about the city being taken 

 in en route. 



Messrs. Doiive and Irvine, who shot through all the events, and 

 made a good showing, hail from Orlanda, Fia., and were in Ten- 

 nessee on a trip which combined pleasure and business. 



The following is a list of the prizes won in order in event No. 4 

 on the final day: E. D. Miller, year's subscription Outing; 3. H. 

 Hunter, 6M'b. keg wood powder; Paul North, rocking chair; R. 

 Irvine, 100 loaded wood powder shells: .1. Doiive, bag shot; J. C. 

 White, 100 fine cigars; A. E. Mead, 100 loaded quick-shot sheils; C. 

 H. Townsend, fine straw hat. 



This event had rather a peculiar termination. There were 28 

 entries, the event being at 20 singles. When the scores were 

 footed up it was found that of the 28 the high score was 18 and the 

 low score 12, a difference of only 7 targets between high and lnw 

 scores. This is a showing which is seldom made at. any tourna- 

 ment. There were of course only seven winners for the eight pre- 

 miums, and when the disposal ot the eighth premium was dis- 

 cussed the management insisted upon it being accepted by "yours 

 truly." Thus it is that a non-contestant is credited with winning 

 a prize. 



The following is a list of the premiums awarded for the best 

 averages in all regular events during the third day: E. D. Miller 

 first, handsome silver cup; J. Hunter, T. W. Rhea, Wm. Wagoner 

 second, dressing case; R. Van Gilder third, steel engraving; A. P. 

 Smith fourth, 6Mlb. can click powder; Jas. Jordan fifth 100 

 loaded quick-shot shells. 



The followingscores were made for the special premiums offered 

 for the best aggregate scores made in No. 4 event during the three 

 days: 



i J E D Miller 19 19 1S-56 



u 1 Wm Wagner.... 19 19 18-56

3. J H Hunter J 9 17 17-53 



4. S Van Gilder 19 15 18—52 



5. C O English 16 18 16-50 



The premiums were as follows, the Smith gun being won by 



Miller on a snoot-oft': 1st, L. C. Smith hammeiless gun; 2d, fine 

 etching; 3d, $5,000 one year paid up accident insurance policy 

 4th, box 100 perfectos cigars; 5th, meerschaum pips; 6th. cut glass' 

 wine set; 7th, traveling bag; 8th, fine silver flask; 9th. gents toilet 

 set; 10th, cut glass bottle filled with fine extract. 



Tne special premiums offered for the highest aggregate scores 

 during the three days in No. 6 event were won in the following 

 order: 



LCD Miller 23 25 22-70 3. S W Rhea 21 21 23-65 



2. J H Hunter 24 22 21-67 4. A F Smith 23 22 19-64 



These were the premiums: 1st, hammerless gun; 2d, solid silver 

 flask; 3d, pair of flue opera glasses; 4th, silk umbrella. Wm. 

 Wagner, C. Ross and James Jordan tied with Hunter for second 

 premium but the latter won on the shoot-off. Alston tied with 

 Rhea for third premium and was shot out, as was North who tied 

 with A. F. Smith for fourth premium. 



After the party left the grounds they repaired to the sporting 

 goods store of George Brown on Gay street where the prizes were 

 distributed. The next thing in order was the disposal of supper 

 and packing of grips. This completed a party comprising Dr. 

 Rhea, D. C. English, E. D. Miller, J. H. Hunter, Wm. Wagner, S. 

 T. Anthony and the writer accepted an invitation from Mr. S. B. 

 Dow to visit the rooms of the Chillihowee Club where they were 

 handsomely entertained. The evening was passed with friendly 

 pool and billiard contests until near midnight when the party 

 returned to their respective hotels to prepare to leave for their 

 homes on the 1:52 A. M. train. At 1:15 I was obliged to say "good- 

 night" to the party as business nessecitated my remaining over 

 until Friday noon. A good night's rest and a pleasant drive with 

 F. S. Mead, the ride combining both business and pleasure wound 

 up my stay in Knoxville and when I started away at 12:20 on 

 Friday noon it was with sincere regret at having to leave the 

 place and the genial- hearted sportsmen who had made the stay 



In summing up this tournament I wish to express on my own 

 behalf as well as on behalf of the others who attended from the 

 northern section of the country my appreciation of the royal 

 treatment we received as well as of the masterly manner in 

 which all the details were attended to. From the first to the last 

 shot not a hitch occurred, and not once was there heard a com- 

 plaint or a growl of any kind. The members of the club one and 

 all were untiring in their efforts to cater to the comfort of the 

 shooters and to keep the events running smoothly and promptly, 

 and in no particular did they fail. Their action in abolishing 

 the obnoxious "expert" role is one whicn will endear the club to 

 all true sportsmen, and will serve to greatly swell the entry lists 

 at their next tournament. 



As a sort of a wind-up argument I can do no bet'.er than to 

 quote the expressions of some of the participants: 



E. D. Miller— The finest tournament and the fairest lot of 

 sportsmen I've seen this year. 



J. H. Eunter.—A. dandy shoot, a daisy programme and a lot of 

 entertainers who are almost good enough to be pension sharks. 



Wm. Wagner— A club comprised of gentlemen who believe in 

 acting gentlemanly at all time3. 



M. F. Lindsley.— Lt you can name a better tournament to date 

 do at right away. 



L. T. Alston.— It you can do any better than this in the North 

 don'i forget to let me have the dates. 



Mayor S- W. Bhea.— The boys spread themselves in great shape 

 and pleased everybody. 



J. T. Anthony— This was a tournament worth attending and 

 we've met. a lot of sportsmen who are all gentlemen. 



Paul iVort/i.-Well, boys, you've made a great hit, and I'm 

 deuced glad I came.

Kansas City. 



Kansas City, May 26.— An interesting 50.birdiace took place at 

 the Kansas City Shooting Park on Monday afternoon between 

 Frank J. Smith, president of the Kansas dry Gun Club, and W. 

 B. Bryant, of the Gate City Club, and the veteran Smith defeated 

 his opponent by a scoi-e of 43 to 41. The race was a iriendly one, 

 and Oscar Cogswell, treasurer of the Missouri State Association, 

 was selected as referee. 



The day was a pleasant one, and the birds generally were strong, 

 hard flyers and quick to wing, this being especially the case from 

 the tenth to the lorty-fltth bird, and bJth men mxde some won- 

 derfully clever kills. Smith particularly distinguishing himself 

 by some remarkable work at long range with his second barrel. 

 The score:

The Stockyards Gun Club, organized last week, held its inaug- 

 ural shoot at the Kansas City Shooting Park on Monday last. 

 The club has a membership of twenty, but only fourteen entered 

 for the club tropay, the conditions of which race is 15 single blue- 

 rocks, American Association rules, rapid firing system. Being 

 the first time that many of the contestants had shot at targets, 

 the scores were not up to championship form. George Hockwell, 

 an old live-bird shot, and Bob Bass, a good man in the field, tied 

 on 10 for the medal, and in the shoot-off Hockwell won. 



The Kansas City Gun Club held its regular monthly medal shoot 

 this afternoon. There were nineteen entries, and "the shooting 

 generally was high class. J. B. Porter, D. 8. Gordon and J. P. 

 Jackson tie ! on 10 straight, and in the shoot-off Porter won. The 

 score was as follows: J. B. Porter, D. S. Gordon and J. P. Jack- 

 son 10; J. R. Elliott, J. A. Bolen, D. Hughes. B\ J. Smitb, Oscar 

 Cogswell. W. S. HiUliwell and J. L. Porter 9; J. K. Gain otto and 

 George Mock 8; E. W. Kinnau. C. Dold, Geo. B. Orr and O. F.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



The Interstate Manufacturers' and Dealers' Association's tourna- 

 ment, to be held at Wood lawn Park. Long Island, on June 7. 8 and 9 

 is expected 10 be one of the biggest affairs of the season. The shoot 

 will be held under the direct, management of the Fountain Gun 

 Club. A decided innovation will be made, inasmuch as on the last 

 day the shooting will be at live pigeons. On the first two days Key- 

 stone targets will be used. Trains will connect with each boat, at 

 -bay Kidge, all trams stopping at the grounds. As this will be the 

 first Association tournament ever held in this vicinity a big crowd of 

 spectators are expected each day. The tents of the various firms 

 will be pitched to the left of the club house aud will present, a pic- 

 turesque appearance. The tent of Forest and Stream, as at pre- 

 vious tournaments, will be the centre of attraction for all the shoot- 

 ers. Thursday will be live bird day. and a number of very interest- 

 ing events are sehedtded. The events will vary from 5 to 10 birds. 



Next week's tournament of the Illinois State Sportsmen's Associa- 

 tion will be a great affair, in fact rumor would lead one to inter that 

 it will exceed any previous tournament held in the West. Forest 

 and Stream will be there in the person of E. Hough, who stands at 

 the head ot the list among sporting writers in this country. 



*** 



Shooters are advised that the tournament of the Atlantic City

 Station of the Penn. ft. R. in Newark. Two sets of five traps each 

 will be used, and it is expected that 10,000 targets will be thrown. 



In talking over guns and other parts of a shooting outfit at Knox- 

 ville one of the. party asked E. D. Miller how many sets of barrels be 

 bad worn out in the last three years. '• Not one," said" the Spring- 

 field man. fl this Parker guu I have used for three years and still use 

 the set of barrels that were on when I received it. Out of that set I 

 have fired at least 35,000 shots, and beside that I suppose at lease 

 10,0U0 shots have been fired by friends at various tournaments."

Hereafter the clubs with the North handicap system are likely to 

 have much better entry lists than those which use the abominable 

 "expert" and "amateur" classification. No man in this country rati 

 afford to shoot from unknown traps against the average amateur. 



Mr. Gates Will Try Again. 



Syracuse, N. Y., May 24.— H. L. Gates of this city and C. H. 

 Mowry of Syracuse, shot a match at 100 kingbirds each at Maple 

 Bay to-day, the result being Mowry 85, Gates 76. The wind blew 

 a gale and the targets consequently took some very erratic flights. 

 Mr. Gates is by no means satisfied with the result and will give 

 Mr. Mowry another go in the near future.
