Bullseye Targets.— Bullseye targets will be open all the time 

 during the annual meeting. Tickets (entitling the holder to one 

 shot at^any bullseye target) will be sold at the office of the Finan- 

 cial officer, upon the range, at 10 cents each or twelve for $1. 

 Each competitor making a bullseye will receive a bullseye ticket, 

 provided he fires in the position authorized at that range. At 

 1 he close of the firing each evening the pool receipts (less one- 

 half retained for expenses) will be divided pro rata among those 

 making bullseyes, on presentation of their tickets. No person 

 will be allowed to fire more than three shots consecutively at any 

 bullseye target, provided others are waiting to flre. 



The team competitions, Nos. fi aT^d 6, will be of two days dura- 

 tion, each man to tire 10 shots at 500yds. and to make two skirmish 

 runs of 20 shots each in each match. These runs will be from 

 600 to 200yds. and ba^-k. 5 halts on the advance aud 5 on the re- 

 treat, with 30 seconds firing interval at each halt. A trophy will 

 be awarded to the winning team in each match, the tropliy to be 

 held by the winner for one vear. 



Revolver Championship. 



The match shoot between Dr. B?ll, the first winner of the 

 Winans trophy, and George A. Jantzer, the first challenger, was 

 very quietly conducted at the St. Mark's Place Gallery in this 

 city on the afternoon of Aug. 3. It was hot and sultry, and the 

 inclosed gallery did not clear well of smoke, and ttie bright light 

 upon the disk could only define the black bullseye as a gray spot, 

 approaching a dull blur. 



It was not an occasion for first-class work, and neither of the 

 men shot up to their recorded ability. Dr. Bell had placed new 

 sights on his revolver. The fore sight showed a square cornered 

 face to the eye, being cut sharp off on the breech end. The rear 

 bar had a square angled cut so that the fore-sight when centered 

 showed a clear light all about it. Centered in this way and with 

 the line of the rear bar tangent to the bullseye's lower cap a clear 

 and definite sight was obtained and one which could be depended 

 upon to be the same at each shot. The objection to the pinhead 

 sight was the uncertainty of getting it centered on the bullieye 

 with each shot, particularly where the difference in the size of 

 the two was large. When shootiu? with the pinhead tangent to 

 the bull there was a like uncertainty, which Dr. Bell thinks he 

 has obviated in the equare-cnt sight and slot. 



Each of the shooters got off the 5in. disk, Dr. Bell five times and 

 Mr. Jantzer four times. It was evident without shooting off the 

 fifth round that Jantzer was a leader and this round was omitted, 

 leaving the score stand: 



1st string. Sd string. 3d string. 4th string. 



Jantzer ... 8.3 6.1 8.1 13.05 



Bell 13.6 7.6 8.5 10..55 



Record.— Jantzer, 32.5in.; Bell, 26.6in. 



The revolver offered by the Smith & Wesson Co. to the initial 

 winner of the trophy has reached the office of Forest and 

 Stream from the Springfield factory and is subject to the order 

 of Dr. Bell. It is as pretty a bit of workmauHbip as the lover of 

 small arms would care to see. It is No. 28018 factory number, 

 with elaborately engravpd work upon the dark stock, barrel and 

 chamber piece. It has ej'^in. .44"al. barrels with ivory handle. It 

 rests in a morocco case and may fairly be classed as a very choice 

 output from a factory out of which a slovenly bit of work is never 

 permitted to go. 



New Jersey Rifle Shooting. 



ISpecially BepoHed for Forest and Stream.] 



The much advertised shooting festival of the Allgemelne 

 Schuetzen Bund, which took place at the Cypress Hill Shooting 

 Park last week, has turned out a flat failure, as I predicted it 

 would two months ago. In the first place the result was due to 

 bad management, and another the park is too far out of the way. 

 Had it taken place in the Union Hill Schuetzen Park the result 

 would have been different.

Class medal shooting will be inaugurated next month. This 

 will no doubt prove a winning factor for the club, as something 

 had been looked for, as the interest by the members in rifle 

 shooting was waning.

At the recent shoot and picnic of the Secaucus Horse Gardeners' 

 Troop at the Union Hill Schuetzjn Corps, excellent marksman- 

 ship was displayed by many of the members, and consequently 

 high scores were in the majority. First prize was secured by 

 Frederick Paschel, second by John Heflieb, and third by Henry 

 Engelbrecht. The affair was most successful, both socially and 

 financially, and the committee who had the matter in charge 

 deserve praise for their great hustling.

 not bright enough for good rest scores. There was no wind until

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



The Denver, Col., News, of Aug. 1, says: "Most all of the marks- 

 men have laid aside their kilUng apparatus for the heated term and 

 adopted the more quiet but equally taking operation of fly flshmg up 

 in the cool mountains. Many of them returned last week from their 

 outing with the usual fishy stories of large catches and big individu- 

 als. The only pair that have stuck to their breech-loaders have 

 been Bryan Heywood and Mechling, both noted shots, and theu- 

 stories of last week's sport among wild doves equalled some of the 

 fish stories. They went out on Clear creek and in two hours bagged 

 181 birds. A match wdl be shot between the pair this wesk at the 

 same targets, each man to take 100 shells and shoot alternately, the 

 loser to pay for the supper. Charley Hampsou has the fail tourna- 

 ment, which is to take place September 1, under the auspices of the 

 Rocky Mountain Sportsmen's Association, already under way and 

 promises to make the event successful." 



People wonder at the fact of from 25 to 40 entries being high at 

 the recent tournaments and say, "Why, a few years ago the entties 

 ran up to double those figures.^' Tui.s is very true, hut to day gun 

 clubs are numbered by the Hundreds, where they were counted by 

 the dozens (or less) in 1888. In the latter yeai- there were held aboiJt 

 a dozen first-class tournaments, whereas in May, alone, of 1891 there 

 were over thirty. Nearly every club in the coimiry takes a hand at 

 engineering a tournament, the result being that as shooters can find 

 plenty of sport close to their homes, Very few of them do as they did 

 four or five years ago. and swing around a circuit taking all the way 

 from sis weeks to three months. Outside of those men who repre- 

 sent some sporting goods, gim, ammunition or target firm, there are 

 very few traveling .shooters.

Dr William Nicholas Pindell, who died at Newark N; J. on August 

 3. was one of the oldest and most; popular members of the Essex jGun 

 Club and was a thoroughgoing sportsman, being passionately fond 

 of field and water sports. Every year he woidd have an outing among 

 the ducks on the Chesapeake and another with the quail in Virginia 

 or Maryland. He had been ill for several months previous to his 

 death, but four weeks ago he told the writer that he was rapidly 

 coming back to his old form and hoped to enjoy some sport in the 

 South this Fall. But the dread destroyer had set his mark on him 

 and on the above date he p.i,ssed over to the great majority, the im- 

 mediate cause of his death being cancer of the stomach.

The New London (Conn.) Gun Club's grounds are taking on an 

 active appearance. Preparations are being made for the fifth 

 annual tournament of the Standard Keystone Company, which wfil

 and New York ihat a large number of shooters anticipate being pre- 

 sent and predict that this will be one of the largest tournaments held 

 this year. Programmes will be ready for distribution this week and 

 may be had upon apijlication to the office of this paper or to the 

 Standard Keystone Company.

Ebik, Pa., Aug. 3.— The Clover Gim Club was organized here last 

 evening with a membership of twenty. Seth Clover was elected 

 president; Chas C. Rife, secretary, and R. T. Brown, treasurer. The 

 objects of the club are to improve its members in the art of wing

SxE.4CtisE, N. Y., Aug. S.^The monthly meeting of the Onondaga 

 Sportsmen's Club was held last evening. There was considerable 

 talk about the system of handicaps now in use by the club. It was 

 considered by many members as vei'y unfair in that it does not give 

 the best shooters in the club a fau- show to win in the medal shoots. 

 It is a very favorable system for the poorer shooters and naturally 

 they object to any change. No action was taken, but it is probable 

 that a change will be made.

The International tom-nament to be held by Barnes and Oilman at 

 Des chre-shos-ka Island, at the mouth of the" Detroit river, August 2.3 

 to 26, inclusive, is attracting attention all over the country and the 

 chances are that almost every state will be represented. The island 

 itself IS a beautiful place for an outing and the projectors are noted 

 as royal entertainers. Added to this the "only Jack" Parker will be 

 major domo of the affair and this is a guarantee that things will run 

 smoothly,

Clubs would do well not to agree t6 add itioney to purses until they 

 have the hard cash in their possession, as subscribers to purses do 



not always fulfill their pledges. A Johnson City, Tenn., hotel 

 proprietor promised to contribute tm diuing the recent shoot a t that 

 place, but after the shoot he refused to pay more than $20. claiming 

 that he coidd afford to gire no more, on account of having ''onlv 22 

 shooters" stopping at his place. The Johnson City boys are noc 

 Idrely to send many more boarders to the above mentioned house.

The Perth Amboy (N. J.) Gun Club recently had a Rhode Island 

 clambake, and in the evening they made a fire of the boxes and 

 barrels, m which their stores bad been packed. Some one imagined 

 that a big fire had broken oat and gave an alarm, which called out 

 the entire Fire Department. Now the Mayor and Chief Engineer are 

 trying to find out whether the sounding of the alarm was a mistake 

 or a practical joke.
