MAGAZINE ARMS.— The Secretary of War in his report for 

 presentation to Congress says: "During the year a board has 

 been appointed consisting of officers of the ordnaTice, cavalry and 

 infantry, to consider, test and report upon magazine small arms. 

 They have -examined those in use in the principal European 

 armies, but a satisfactory smokeless powder is an essential ele- 

 ment for consideration in fixing upon the reduced caliber. Their 

 experiments and reports of similar trials made abroad indicate 

 that magazine arms are still so far from perfection that it is not 

 wise to change from our present excellent single loader to a mag- 

 azine system in too great haste. If we have been slow in this 

 matter we have at least been saved the great expense incurred 

 by most foreign nations in adopting an unsatisfactory magazine 

 arm prematurely. The board, which has not as yet made a re- 

 port, is still conducting experiments, and is giving American in- 

 ventors every aid and facility for perfecting and testing their 

 arms."

THE CLUB CUP, 



The second contest for the possession of this massive silver 

 trophy occurred on the grounds of the Carteret Gun Club, at Ber- 

 gen Point, N. J., on Tuesday, Nov. 34. The cup is competed for 

 yearly and is open to teams of four representing the Larchmont, 

 Tuxedo, Carteret, Country and Westminster Kennel clubs. On 

 the lirst competition, which was held on the grounds of the 

 Country Club, the Carterets captured the prize; their team then 

 putting up a total of 88. Again, on this occasion, they scored an- 

 other victory, bu^ not without a hot flght, the team of the Country 

 Club pushing them to the extreme, and a sboot-ofl was necessary 

 to decide the contest. The weather conditions on the day of the 

 affair were far from being pleasant, a cold, cutting atmosphere 

 and a sharp wind chilled the shooters when at the score, and 

 heavy wraps were in demand by the spectators who left the shel- 

 ter of the club house. Among the prominent clubmen present 

 we noticed J. B. Metcalf, Geo. Van Wagenen, 'Jas. Bryar, New- 

 berry Thorne, D. Thompson. H. C. Beadleson, Robt. B. Lawrence, 

 Arthur Duane, Jordan L. Mott, Jr., E, S. Chapin, W. Hoey, Dr. 

 G. Lee Knapp, W. Gerard, Clarence Dolan, W. v4. Murphy, W.W. 

 Watrous, Charles Duggin, Judge Dugro, David Johnson, F. T, 

 Moorehead, R. B. Floyd-Jones, Paul G. Thebaud. E. A. Schultze, 

 F. A. Potts, E. Vinton Murphy, E. Oliver Iselin, W. H. Locke, W. 

 A. H. Stafford, Oakleigh Thorne, Justus von Lengerke, Harry C. 

 Squires and O. do Quiltfelt. The contest began at 10:50 A. M., with 

 Mr. .John S. Hoey as referee. 



The race was shot off in squads of three, one from each club, 

 each man shooting his string of 35 birds. The first squad were 

 Messrs. W. B. Smith, Geo. Floyd Jones and W. G. Brokaw, and 

 they had as good a lot of birds as were trapped during the con- 

 test. Mr. Brokaw was probably the most unfortunate contestant 

 in the whole match in the loss of birds. With one exception his 

 birds were veritable screamers— driver following driver; even the 

 few incomers that fell to his lot were of the fastest kind and were 

 harder to kill than the majority of quarterers. At the conclu- 

 sion of the first squad's shooting the Carterets were in the lead 

 by two birds. Of the second squad men L. S. Thompson and J. 

 Seaver Page carried off the honors. The former is one of the 

 youngest members of his club, and this was his maiden effort in 

 a large event. He shot in grand form and was the onlv one to 

 pass up a clean score. Mr. Page's work was also of a high order, 

 his birds being a hard lot. He scored 33 with his two birds scored 

 as lost dead out of botmds. In the third squad each clnb put in 

 a tried man— Chauncy Floyd -Jones represented the Country Club, 

 Capt. Money the Larchmont s, and Fred Hoey the Carterets. 

 The birds in this squad were almost as good as those trapped for 

 the first, and the f cores are really better than they look in cold 

 type. Capt. 3Ioney was particularly unfortunate in drawing a 

 hard lot of birds, as was also Fred Hoey, but the latter did not 

 seem to be up to form. At the conclusion of this squad the 

 Carterets still held the lead by a single bird. 



The excitement at this point was great, and as the men repre- 

 fenting each club were known to be good finishers, their work 

 was watched with interest. The first to miss was Edgar Murphy, 

 but as he was shooting a hopeless race, his chib being out of the 

 hunt, it mado no material difference. It was the scores of Kent 

 and Dolan that were watched, and as Dolan lost his 4th bird the 

 followers of the Country Club set up a rousing cheer. Their joy 

 was short lived, however, as Kent dropped his very next bird. In 

 the 10th round Dolan lost another bii-d out of bounds, and the 

 race for the second time was a tie. Kent kept killing straight 

 and it looked as though both would kiU out, when Dolan again 

 had hard luck, his 33d, a fast driver, hit witn both barrels, fall- 

 ing dead just outside the 50yds. boundary. This gave the lead to 

 the Country Club, and when Mr. Kent stepped to the score on the 

 25th round it seemed a foregone conclusion that he would kill and 

 thus win the cup for his club, but that was just what he did not 

 do, for a right-quarterer that was released irom No. 1 trap sailed 

 out of the boundary without a feather rufiled, and as Dolan killed 

 his bird the race for the third time was a tie. For a few moments 

 there w'as great exc'tement, and as soon as it had subsided the 

 tie shoot was started , each man shooting at five birds, the Carte- 

 rets winning by three birds to the good. 



Second contest for the Club Cup. Conditions: Strict Hurling- 

 ham rules, 50yds. boundary. No entrance money. Score:

SPRING HILL TARGETS AND TURKEY. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



On the great turkey day of this Yankee Nation the Spring Hill 

 Gun Club held a most successful shoot on their grounds, at Blau- 

 velt, Rockland county, N. Y. This station, on the West Shore 

 R, R,, is situated in the midst of a most picturesque country; high 

 lands predominate; it has never been boomed, except in the dreams 

 of the farmers of the locality, therefore the name is not familiar 

 to many city people. It is less than one hour's ride from Wee- 

 hawken; excursion fare $1. The.necessities of railroad building 

 placed the track in the valley, and the necessities of the gun club 

 led them to buy a plot of ground in the valley just opposite tbe 

 station. They erected a neat and handsome club house, two 

 stories high, in the upper of which they partake of their now 

 famous dinners. No pork and beans nor tough sandwiches for this 

 crowd, but generous hot roast beef, turkey stuffed with oysters, 

 chickens (roast and in pot pie), chocolate, and fruits in their 

 season. Toat's the wav tbese boys live as they shoot. Most of 

 them reside in New York city or thereabouts, and that is the 

 reason their shooting is mostly done on holidays, when they gather 

 early and stay all day and have a good time generally. C, M. 

 Hathaway has been president for the past two years, and that 

 means plenty of shooting and the best appliances therefor that 

 can be had. The club is very prosperous, numbers some 30 mem- 

 bers, and is gaining all the time. No charge is made for the 

 dinner. The scores of Tbanksgiving Day are as follows: 



First sweep, 6 live birds each, $3 entrance, 3 moneys, dead birds 

 belong to shooters, ties div.:

Schortemeier 112200—4 



The scores were not over good unless one considers the superior 

 quality of the birds, which were largely country birds, cooped 

 only the day before, and, therefore, strong and acquainted with 

 the country and full of a desire to get back to home and loved 

 ones as soon as possible when released. 



The dinner having been duly dispatched the targets were gotten 

 out and pi-eparations made for a big hurrah in them: but, alas! it 

 commenced to rain about 2 o'clock and by 4 o'clock was too dark 

 to shoot. Nevertheless three sweeps were shot, 10 birds each man, 

 18 entries— rainy— kingbirds, bluerocks and Standard-Keystones 

 mixed, viz ; J. Bogart 6, Blauvelt 5, W. Taylor 6, Miller 6, Short- 

 meier 5, Cray 5, Sbelb 0, Vail 7, Craft 8, Jones 8, Allen 10. Moeller

Third, same as first: Creighton .5, Bogart 7, Miller 6, Hathaway 

 7, Baker 7, Shorty 8, Rush 3, Simpson 8, Allen 9, Taylor 8. Vail 8, 

 Craft 8, Shelb 3. 



Medal match, for gold and silver medal to first and second, 10 

 kingbirds, 18yds.: Simpson 10, Allen 9. Jones 8, Plerson 7, Blau- 

 velt 7, Rush 7, Hathaway 6, Bogart 6, Moeller 4, Southwell 3. 



Thus ended the day. If there is a livelier club hereabouts we 

 would like to kn ow it. ad Vance.
