ALBERTA, CANADA, FIELD TRIALS. 



THE secoQd annual Jiekl trials of the Calgary Rod and 

 Gun Club took place Sept. y, says the Calgary (Can.) 

 Trilmne, at a point about twelve miles from Cochrane 

 Members of the club and tbeir friends left the eveninK pre- 

 vious. Conveyances had been sent out to Cochrane to ac- 

 commodate the party, who left at an early hour for the 

 sceue of action, when the dogs were drawn in the following- 

 order: Don vs. Royal, Norah vs. Jury, Psyche vs Ben Hut 

 Dot vs. Ranger, Prince vs. Blarney, Dash B., a bye 



At 7:35 in the morning H. H. McCullough's pointer dog 

 Royal and J. B. Smith's pointer dog Don were cast off in a 

 hilly country, interspersed with bluffs. Both dogs started 

 at a great speed; Royal raced up to a bluff and came to a 

 magnificent point, Don, at the time, being in another direc- 

 tion. The birds had ran to a blnff lower down the hill but 

 Royal was equal to the occasion and roaded them nicely 

 McCullough, ordered by the judge to flush, did so. Don in 

 the meantime was pointing in anofchei- direction. Birds 

 were very plentiful here but were running wildly. Bach 

 dog roaded and pointed in quick succession, some fine work 

 being shown m this heat, in fact it was generally conceded 

 to be the best heat run during the trials. After being down 

 thirty minutes the heat was awarded to Royal. 



The committee afc this time thought this part of the coun- 

 try too bluffy to see the work of the dogs properly, so a move 

 was made to a place about five miles further on, when at 9 

 o'clock B. Hodder's Irish setter Norah and C. C. McCaul's 

 English setter Jury were put down to compete. A siugle 

 bird was marked and the dogs were .sent in the direction. 

 Jury showed game tir.st and roaded what was evidently a 

 running bird. She, however, did itiu an indefinite manner 

 and two birds rose wildly on reaching the top of the hlil, 

 Norah shortly after this made game and commenced to road 

 m a very .stylish manner, finishinsi up with a nice point. On 

 her handler shooting the flushed bird she ran in, and in con- 

 sequence lost the heat. 



Mr. T. Stone's pointer Psyche and Mr. 8. W. Trott's 

 pointer dog Ben Hur were cast off at 9:20. Psyche went off 

 m a listless sorb of way and showed that for some cause she 

 lacked the brilliancy of her work of last .season, when .she 

 won these trials. Ben Hur pointed a single bird, but at this 

 time Mr. Stone asked the privilege to withdraw his dog 

 which was showing signs of lameness. This was granted' 

 and the heat awarded to Ben Hur. 



Mr. D. G. Robinson's English setter dog Ranger and Mr 

 George Gouin's English setter Dot were put down at eleven 

 Very inferior work was done in this heat, and bad any one 

 prophesied that Ranger would prove the ultimate winner 

 his prophesy would have seemed as probable and ridiculous 

 as if he had asserted (ifter the late boodle scandals at Ot- 

 tawa) that the Conservative party would again be re- 

 turned to power after a general election. Ranger was 

 awarded the heat, not from the good work accomplished, 

 but from his competitor's inability and obesity. 



C. W. E. Hodder's Irish setter Blarney and Mr. Richard's 

 English .setter Prince were next cast off. No work of note 

 was done m this heat, and after being down one hour the 

 heat was avvarded to Blarney. 



Mr. W. H. Hogg's English' setter dog, who had the bye, 

 was now run for twenty minutes to put him on an equal 

 footing with those that had run in former heats. 



SECOND SERIES. 



Royal and Jury were put down, and Royal again showed 

 great brilliancy in his work and outcla.ssed Jury, and Avas 

 awarded the heat. 



Ben Hur and Ranger now were pitted against each other 

 Ranger in this heat woke up and made a number of points 

 showing grand accuracy on his birds. Ben also ran better 

 m this heat, but was beaten by a narrow margin. 



Dash B. and Blarney then had a long give and take heat, 

 the judges finding it very difficult to decide on the winner 

 They, however, eventually awarded the heat to Dash B. 



Royal and Ranger were now cast off. Royal ran riot in 

 this heat and was lost. Ranger in the meantime making two 

 or three points. It seemed ten to one from previous work 

 that Royal, who lost, would have won. 



Dash B. and Ranger were now cast off to compete for first 

 place. Dash B. showed great pace, range and style, but 

 Ranger exhibited a splendid no.se and good locating power 

 besides being very staunxjh on his points and steady to shot 

 and wmg. According to the point system Dash B. would 

 have had this heat, but the judges con-sidered the qualities 

 of Ranger just mentioned more than balanced those of Dash 

 B.. and awarded him the heat and first place. 



This left Royal and Dash B. to run for second and third 

 prizes. The owners of these dogs, however, agreed to divide 

 the same without running. 



And thus a very successful and pleasant gathering ended 

 The first prize was a cup, presented by Mr. Thos, Stone, and 

 .$20 cash by the club, the second and third being .1rl5 cash. 



Mr. S. W. Trott performed the arduous duties of judee 

 very eflEiciently and satisfactorily to all, being assisted by 

 Mr. Thos. Johnson, of Winnipeg. 



It being now about 6 o'clock, a start was made for Coch- 

 rane, which was reached after a drive of about fourteen 

 miles, and where Mrs. Elliot had a smoking dinner ready, 

 which was enjoyed as such a meal can be enjoyed alter a 

 long day's shooting on the prairie. 



As most of the sportsmen had to return this morning, the 

 shooting did not take place for the president's medal, but 

 this competition will take place at an early date.

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



REVOLVER SHOOTING IN ENGLAND.-London. Sept. 5- 

 The season at the South London liifleClub, the principal revolver 

 shooting club in England, is drawing to a close, there are only 

 seven mnre shooting days. There is a "spoon competirion" each 

 shooting day, and ttiB revolver champion.ship of the club goes to 

 the member who makes the five highest scores in the "spoon com- 

 petition" on five separate davs. at 30yd=-. Up to the end of August 

 thethrfeleaders for this wpi-p: 



Mr 0 FLowe..40 39 38 38 37-J93 Mr Andrews.. .41 38 37 34 33-183 



Mr Mav 38 38 38 37 3(i— 187 



On Sept. 1 Mr. Walter Winans weut down for the first time this 

 season, and in what was offlcially reported by the secretary as a 

 • 'hurricane," made the foilowtng score; 



7 0 7 7 7 7-41 



The storm blowing from the left he had to fight against being 

 blown to the right, and rather allowed too much for wind. Messrs. 

 Lowe and May did not compete, but Mr. Andrews made 87, and" 

 Mr. C. Brown (who shoots under the professional name of "Young 

 Nimrod") made a score of 36. Mr. Winans has now only ssven 

 days to make four SCO ' es in, and it is the time of year to expect 

 rough weather as against the fine calm days the others have made 

 tbpir scores in. 



On Sept. 8 at the weekly revolver competition at the South Lon- 

 don Rifle Club the winners were as follow*: 



Walter Winaas. 777776—41 0 Brown 756577—38

NEWARK N. .L.. RIFLE CLUBS.-The Oriental Rifle Club 

 held Its regular meeting on Thursday night 1 tst, at which these 

 officers for the ensuing term were elected: D. J. Mahoney. presi- 

 dent; Gu8 Widtnan, vice-president; Frank Boker. finaucial secre- 

 tary; Louis Widma-n. recording secretary; Charles Schott, treas- 

 urer; AAigust (?. Widman. captain; Thos. Upton, sergeant-at- 

 arms. The clnb has a membership of 58 members and decided to 

 leave the list^open until next Thursday. The Independent Rifle 

 and Sporting Club held its first meeting of the season on Monday 

 last, and considerable routine business was transacted. The 

 election ot" officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows: 

 President, J. M. Bray; vice-president, C. G Camp; corresponding 

 .secretary, Henry Rummell; financial secretary, E. ThrosseU; 

 treaatirer, Wm. Taylor: sergeant-at-arms. William Borden; cap- 

 tain, James McCallum; vice-captain, Charles Smiih; rifle iuapec- 

 tor, Wilhs Camp. This club, wnich is the onlv one in Newark 

 having headquarters of its own, is in a very prosperous condition 

 and will put a strong team in tho field this season. The bonks 

 are now open for those who wish to join. The club has a fine 

 house and two ranges at 88 Frelinghuysen avenue and is not con- 

 nected with a saloon. 



THE TWI.3T OF RIFLES.-I hnve just been looking through 

 the entertaining pamphlet of Brother (Billv"?) Barlow of the 

 'Ideal" Company, and find among other things a table of the 

 twist employed by the different firms in the manufacture of va- 

 rious calibers. I wi.sh some one who 'knows— "Iron Ramrod" for 

 example, or our interesiing friend across the pond, "J. J. M. "— 

 would tell us what principles, if any, are supposed to govern m 

 this matter. For instance, why is it that for the comtnoD 44-40 

 cartridge the Remington Oompanv gives one turn for every SOiii., 

 the Colts one for every 28 and the Marlin and Winchester facto- 

 ries one for every ;j6? In the other calibers there is little more 

 uniformity. .\re we to infer from all this that the twist has very 

 little to do with the shooting of a riflei* -Aztec. 



CONNECTICUT.— The adjutant-general has issued. orders for 

 the animal Scale rifle match of regimental teams of tlTe National 

 Guard to he held at such time and place as General Watson may

 ammunition to each team contesting. Tho prizes are t>ie State 

 silver cup, won in 1888 by the First Regiment and in 1889 by the

 in 1888 by the Second Regiment and ITy the First Regiment in the 

 following year; and a bronze statuette of a Roman soldier, first 

 competed for in 1889 and won by the Third Regiment. There was 

 no match last year, A medal will be given to each member of the 

 team winning the first prlxe.

 a gentleman authorized and sent to headquarters. The davs hav'e

THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE SHOOT.-The executive com- 

 mittee of the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's Association, since 

 sending out the programmes for the tournament to be held on 

 Sept. 39 and 30 and Oct. 2. has concluded that the expert handicap 

 is too severe a handicap even for experts, and has decided to adopt 

 a new handicap for this class of shooters, as follows: The experts 

 will he required to shoot their scores first from a set of traps 

 where the direction of the flight of the target can be changed in- 

 stantly, and while shoonng from known traps to shoot nn known 

 angles, rapid tinng system. They believe this handicap more 

 nearly equ-dTzes the expert and the amaieur than the Keystone 

 system of handicapping. The amateurs will shoot Crom known 

 traps, known angles, rapid firing system. The committee and the 

 v\ illiamsport (tou Club, n Oder whose auspices the tournament 

 will be held, extend^ a cordial invitation to all shooters in the

 Jjiien Cincinnati can onlv send one shooter to Dayton shoot, dis-

Dayton shoot IS the second annual given by those well known 

 shooters, Mr. Scott McDonald and Dr. Parker. The tournament 

 progresses upon the fine grounds of the Diamond Gun Club as 

 pleasant as any you will find, and much helped out hy a spaci'-us 

 and tidy club house, to s<iy nothing of an outdoor kitchen, whit-h 

 furumhes meals not quabfied to discourage a shooter with life 

 At some places they purp.asely give visiting shooters such poor 

 mea s that tbeyare reduced to hunger and weakness, in which 

 condition their money is easier to win. The Diamond Club does 

 not operate on that basis. It tries to make the shooter helpless

L.mb is so called because ea'di member wenrs ou his shirt front a 

 diam,;m as argn as a hard-boiled egg. Cincinnati cannot wear

 If It had a shirf it might he here to-day. 



The tact IF, there are a good manv absent who should be here. 

 Ihe attendauee is very light, which is something that so-well 

 known a management as this ought not to have. The programme 

 is a good and varied one. and the $600 in gaaranteed pui^ts ought 

 to he plenty of inducement tor a larger gathering. As it is, I 

 tiuestion whether the boys will care to hold Scott and the Doctor 

 to the giiarantees, and they will probably not be shot on that 

 basis. Foremost to suggest this was the always generous Col 

 CourtnB.v, the Lefever man, who can't bear to soe any one play in 

 hard luck. Col. Courtney, by the way, is the only one of the gun 

 gang present. He was shooting pretty comfortably well to-day 

 l°^i\"''?^i°^ himself a whole lot, as usual. It they hadu't modi- 

 fied that guarantee business, your uncle Courtney and Scoit Mc- 

 Donald would have had to match coppers to .^ee who won 

 that 810 for first average to-day, hut as it was. Penn, of Wheel- 

 ing, \\ est \ a., fell into 30 straight a couple of times in the onlv 

 counted, and Osborne, of Toledo, followed close enough 



Z'^:l\fr^?^^^/^'^'''''J^.^Xi'^''^2'^^-r,-^^'^'''''' Mumma shot fair to 

 middling, and so did "Shorty" Bacon, the professional beauty 

 with sleeves rolled up. Mr. Brown, of the Jmrniul, showed what 

 newspaper man can do with a gun between works. All in all this 

 was a very pretty, pleasant day, every way, though it would have 

 been hetter if it had been bigger in some ways 



Only targets were shot to-day, blnerocksand Keystones in about 

 equal 71 umber. The ties were generally divided. The money 

 went 40, :10, 30 and 10 per cent. No favorites, nobody handicapped 

 n9body barred, no waiting to make an entry, or to get your winl 

 nmgs or your lunch. Ten traps. Keystone rapid-fliihg system

 Why this was so light I shall not try to explain, unless it was that 

 t>e fie d-3hooting season is opening and will so .soon be open. 

 Trap-shooting is puzzbng anynow in its whys and wherefores. 

 \ ou bar profefisionals, or class them, and you don't get the crowd 

 Yon don't bar them, and you don't, get the crowd anvhow. 1 am 

 not going to theorize about, the attendance here, because the
