Washington City Rod and Gun Club. 



On June 24, after a hot and dusty ride from Winahester, Va., 

 the writer, in company with Arthur W. DuBray, the popular 

 "Gauche" who looks after the Southern interests of the Parker 

 g in, and Bryan Talhat'erro of the Jacksonville (Fla ) Gun 

 Club, stopped off at Washington to make a call on the Washing- 

 ton City Rod and Gun Club who were to bold their regular weekly 

 shoot on tnat day. It was almost 9:30 when the party stepped off 

 the B. & O. train at the Capital City, and the weather even at 

 that early hour was intensely hnt, there being scarcely a breath 

 of air. The first move of the trio was of course in the direction 

 of Andy Hancock's, where they were refreshed by one of 

 ' George's" famous decoctions. After this my two companions 

 repaired to Willard's to take a much needed rest. 



After a long Bearch the writer by great good fortune succeeded 

 in finding Joseph H. Hunter, he of the short stature and great 

 talent for finding good dogs and shooting a great pace at the 

 traps. Next in order was lunch, then a call on M. F. Tappan, the 

 well known sporting goods man of Pennsylvania avenue, and next 

 a ride past the white-domed capitol to the store of Billy Wagner. 

 We found Billy up to his eyes in business, but as usual he prom- 

 ised to let business go by the board and beat the shooting grounds 

 in the evening to help entertain the trio of travellers. Altera 

 pleasant chat and a cool-off in Billy's workshop Mr. Hunter took 

 the writer to his residence and initiated him into the mysteries 

 of his "den," where was found about every pi,rt of the parapher- 

 nalia of a shooter and fisherman. An elegant painting of Mr, 

 Hunter's famous prize pointer Black Wonder was also exhibited. 



This picture is life-size and is a magnificent picture of one of the 

 most famous dogs of the day. 



About 4 P.M. we went speeding away behind Hunter's roan 

 roadster "■Jim," which has a penchant for giving the dust to 

 other animals on the road, and about 20 minutes later pulled rein 

 in rear of the 20 X 30 shooting box of the Washington City Rod 

 and Gun Club. Here the Forest and Stream received a hearty 

 greeting from the shooters present, who comprised Messrs. Steele, 

 Doyle, Peyton, Schroth, Rothwell, Denonet, Finley, Wanstell. 

 and. last but not least, fat, fair and past forty 'Uncle Dicky" 

 Jones, one of the old-time shotslof the District, who is still able to 

 move about the thicket as spryly as in his younger days and who 

 keeps the younger men guessing when he goes to the score. 



Tne grounds of this club are situated within a sixteenth of a 

 mile of the historic Potomac River, and from the club bouse 

 verandah can be obtained a full view of the Capitol, the Washing- 

 ton monument and many other objects of interest. Directly in 

 front of the house and extending to the river is a dense under- 

 growth and to the right a heavy wond. Here it is that "Uncle 

 Dicky" spends his evenings loosing for the gay and festive wood- 

 cock. Underneath the rear part of the house flows what was 

 once the famous Cumberland Canal, but which since war times 

 has degenerated into a mere ditch. In its waters, however, are 

 myriads of carp and goldfish, soma of the latter reaching three 

 or more pounds in weight. The property on which the house 

 stands is supposed to belong to the Government, although the 

 title is disputed by others. So long as the shooters hold their 

 lease, however, the question of ownership does not worry them. 

 As I have stated, the club house is 20x30ft. It is one story in 

 height with a 15ft. porch. 



On the day of my visit the members were using five experts' 

 traps and throwing bluerock targets. They have screens for ten 

 traps if needed. While shooting from the regulation angles no 

 fault could be found with the foreground, but as soon as unknown 

 angles come in play and the targets begin to go toward the trees 

 on either side, the chances for clean scores are greatly decreased. 

 A right-quartering taTget from No. 5 trap has to be "snuffed" 

 else it has a good chance to get in the woods. 



The premier event of the day was at fifty targets per man for 

 the original medal, this being contested tor weekly, the medal 

 finally oecoming the property of the member winning it the most 

 number of times during the season. The shoot resulted in favor 

 of W. H. Hunter, who broke 47. Steele scored 45, *DuBray. 40, 

 Doyle 38, Rothwell 36, Talliaterro 35, Wagner 33, Schroth 31, 

 Wanstell 24, Finley 23, Hancock 22. * Not members. 



Wagner experimented with a 20- bore Parker which he had just 

 received and by the time he had "caught on" to its shooting he 

 was out of the medal race. This gun, by the way, is a beauty, 

 both in hang and workmanship. Billy says lie will push some of 

 the big-bore men before he lays his "baby" aside. 



After the medal shoot the party shot several ten-target sweeps, 

 the scores made by members going to their credit for a number 

 of special medals offered for the highest aggregate number ot 

 breaks out of the first 500 targets sbot at during toe club season. 

 Jones broke 19 out of 20, Steel 9 out of 10. Hunter 27 out of 40. 

 Doyle 29 out of 40, Wagner 30 out of 40. 



This wound up the snooting, and after a series of experimenting 

 on patterns by UuBray and Wagner, the party wenaed its way 

 back to Washington, which they reached just as the shades of 

 night were falling. After "Jim" was returned to his stable the 

 inner man was looked after at Hancock'd, after which another 

 call was made on Mr. Wagner, at whose store we had the pleasure 

 of shaking hands with Mr. John Hart, of the Capital City Gun 

 Club, whose acquaintance we bad made during tne recent four 

 days' tournament of that club, when Mr. Hart officiated as 

 cashier. Here we were also treated to a glance, at Billy Wagner's 

 famous cartridge loader which is destined to create a lurore as 

 soon as it is placed on the market. It was getting along well 

 toward midnight when we reluctantly shook hands and said 

 "Good-by" to Billy, and a few moments later we went through a 

 like pdrrormance with Joe Hunter, not, however, until both oi 

 those genial companions had faithlully promised to meet us at 

 Atlantic City next week. The visit to Washington was a pleasant 

 one, and Forest and Stream left the city witn the kindliest feel- 

 ings for those who had granted its representative such a cordial 

 reception. C. H. Townsend. 



A Voice from Lynch's Station. 



In a recent issue of your journal I noticed your comments on 

 the Norta system of handicapping, and beg to differ from your 

 conclusions. The question naturally presents itself, what is a 

 handicap for, to equalize the winning chances of shooters of dif- 

 ferent degrees of sKiJl. If such is the case, does the North system 

 accomplish this eno? I think not, as it forces the amateur to 

 compere on even tetms with the expert in every instance where 

 the expert has failed to win a part of first or second money of the 

 preceding event, and is he any les3 an expert and superior to the 

 amateur from Euch failure? I think not, and the amateur who 

 contests with him at known angles is simply putting up his 

 wealth for the expert to pocket, and as we know, it is seldom the 

 case at our large tournaments that all of the experts get a part of 

 first or second money. The amateur will in nearly every instance 

 find himself forced to contest with his superiors on even terms, 

 and what does it matter to him whether Bill Jones wins his 

 money in one shoot or Tom Jones in the next, so long as the 

 Jones's get what he should have a living show for under an 

 equitable system of handicap based on the respective skill of the 

 contestants. You may say. Mr. Elitor. that amateurs win under 

 this system, which may be so occasionally, but you overlook the 

 fact that all who win as amateurs are not amateurs, but experts 

 who have some pull with the management, and can keep out of 

 the expert class thereby, as was the case at Staunton, Va., and 

 Washington, D. C. At Staunton, I think eleven men qualified as 

 semi-experts when only three were advanced, and one left in 

 amateur class was three per cent, better in average than an ad- 

 vanced, while at Washington Hunter and Happer averaged 

 over ninety per cent., and yet shot with th't amateurs, notwith- 

 standing this club's programme said all who average ninety per 

 cent will be advanced to the expert class, and while I think the 

 Keystone the fairer Bystem to the amateur, no system will pro- 

 tect him as club3 fail to live up to their published programme.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



The new club house and grounds of the Belfast (Me.) Rille, Rod and 

 Gun Club are now ready for use. The grounds contain three acres 

 of level land, in the rear ot' lower Congress street, overlooking 

 Penobscot Bay. Tne site cannot be surpassed in the city. The club 

 house is 14;<20ft., with a broad veranda on the west side The side of 

 the building next the veranda contains three large doors that hang 

 from the top. When up these doors completely open that side of 

 the house and make a covering for the veranda. The house contains 

 racks for guns and all the conveniences for apparatus. Tne club has 

 five bluerock traps, which are ranged in the arc of * circle sixteen 

 yards from the shooting point. A trench 2ft. deep is da? in front of 

 the traps, which with a screen completely protects the man manipu- 

 lating the traps from the shooters. The club numbers eighteen 

 members, and has as gool quarters as any club in the Slate. The 

 club is indebted to C. R. Coombs for its excellent quarters. 



Arthur W. DuBray, the well-known Southern representative of the 

 Parker (iun Company, won a prize at Winchester which he values 

 highly. It was a carving knife and fork made from wood taken 

 from'old Fort Louaon, which fort was built in the early Indian days. 

 It was cut by hand and presented by John W. Nail, of Winchester. 

 Mr. Nail is an all around artist, being aole to perform creditably on 

 nearly every kind of musical instrument, possessing an enviable 

 amount of skill with the brush, and more than an average skill in 

 carving. In his store is a gun, caisson and pair of horses, and the 

 figure of a man holding the reins, every part of which is made from 

 the wood mentioned above. The gun barrel was turned on a lathe, 

 but every other part was shaped with a jack-knife. From muzzle of 

 gun to the horses' heads is aoout 4ft. This fine piece of work will be 

 exhibited in Chicago during the World's Fair.

The Forester Gun Club will hold a tournament at Flemington, N.J.. 

 on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 20 and 27. Experts will he b'areed. 

 On the second day the North handicap system will be enforced, other- 

 wise American Shooting Association rules to govern. There will be 

 four events at 10, three at 15 and one at 20 singles each day, the en- 

 tries to be Sf 1,®1.E0 and $2. A Thurnian shooting blouse, Heikes 

 hand protector and Ferris gun cleaner will be given to the shooters 

 making the first to the third best avearge in all events each day. 

 There will also be cash prizes of $4, $3, $i and $1 for the first to 

 fourth best average in all events during the two days.

Sportsmen all over the country will be pleased to know that fat, 

 fair and forty A. G. Courtney, of Syracuse, has entirely recovered 

 his health and has resumed his position a? general a^enc for the Le- 

 fever guns Mr. Courtney was rather anfortuuatem oeiug placed on 

 his back several months ago by a severe attack of illness, and then 

 just as he was almost to resume business he fell and broke his leg, 

 his gi ving him another vacation of several weeks. Now he is back 



to his old form both as a shooter and hustler, and will soon begin to 

 worry the trade. It. is safe to say that genial "Court." will be given 

 a hearty welcome wherever he goes. 



From time to time Forest and Stream receives from correspon- 

 dents complaints in regard to improper working of targets, traps, 

 ammunition, guns, rjfles, pistols, etc. While our columns are always 

 at the disposal of our readers for the discussion of any subject of in- 

 terest, we must positively refuse to give room to these complaints. 

 In the majority of cases the fault is not with the articles compUmed 

 ot, but is caused by improper manipulation. The proper thing to do 

 instead of rushing into print and perhaps giving a "black eye" to a 

 really meritorious article would be to refer the complaint in all its 

 details dU'ectly to the manufacturer, who in all cases may be 

 depended upon to place matters right.
