A Revolver Record Breaker. 



The i^'enial Barney Walther is making great preparations for his 

 shoot for the Winans trojih^- aL'-ainst 3Ir. Wm. 12. Petty, the present 

 holder. The shoot has been fixed for tlje eyening of Feb. 4, at the 

 range at 12 8t. Mark's place. Some of Mr. Walther's many friends 

 have made him a favorite and are olferiug odds on him. Last Satur- 

 day afternoon Mr. Petty had an hour's leisure and went down for a 



little re(»rd making for the Is'. Y. Pistol Club hoys. He did indeed 

 hoist the club iiicord a bit. and the accompanyhig fac simile of his 

 target shows a OSi in the possible 100 points in 10 shots, whereas the 

 best previous record, made by George E. .lautzer and Barney Walther, 

 stood at 93. 



Among those who witnessed the scoring of Mr. Petty were Wm. 

 A. Jones. Wui. Rosenbaum. B. Zettler and A. G. Henitz. The shooting 

 was done with a S. & W. .44-calibre revolyer at 20yds.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



The Cincinnati Com 'iiierriiU (iazette publishes the following sketch of 

 the tri-city medal winner of 1892, the medal being shot for at Teipel's 

 Park. Covington. Ky.: '-Thomas J. Hugheyis known to the present 

 shooting fraternity a.s plain 'Tug,' a rfe p/i(i(ie given to Inm for 

 his cleyernesa in the manly art of self-defense. He is the piipil of 

 Kentucky's representative pigeon shot. Ben Teipel, 31 years of age, 

 and said to be the quickest second ban-el shot in tiis vicinity. At ftie 

 start he was backed as the winner for the tri-city live pigeon medal 

 open to all residents of Cincinnati, Covington and Newport, Ky. win- 

 ning the handsome trophy in the eighth shoot with an average 'of 92 

 per cent, Mr. Hughey had a strong opponent in Mr. Ralph Trimble 

 who succeeded in taking the trophy twice, but never in the race did 

 he for one instant beheve any entry could wrestle the trophy fi om 

 him, and that then unwon. He likes strong company, and is invariably 

 one of the first to enter a sweepstake, be it either at live or artificial 

 bird.s. The beauty of it is he is no place shooter, but looks toward 

 landing first or thereabouts, and shooting the tie out to a finish. The 

 late Al. Bandle remarked of him a few months previous to his death to 

 watch out for the boj^; he's got the gi-it back of him to make a good 

 one. 3Ii-. Hughey was born in the commonwealth, but has been a resi- 

 dent of this city for the last five years. He will be chosen by the In- 

 dependent Club, of this city, to shoot against Miss Annie Oakley at 100 

 live pigeons." 



After the conclusion of the fifty-bird i-ace at Erb's on Jan. 13 How- 

 land Gasper, of New York city, expressed a wish for a match with 

 Allen WiUey, mnner of the above race. Mr. Gasper wished to shoot at 

 25 bu-ds each, but to this Mr. WiUey woidd not agree as he did not con- 

 sidei- a 25-bu-d race any test of a man's ability. Mr. Willey pi-oposed 

 shooting at either 50 or 100 birds each, his preference being the latter 

 They finally agreed upon 50 birds per man, for a stake of SlOO a side 

 the shoot to take place on John Erb's grounds in Newark between the 

 hours of 12 M. and 3 P. M. on Thursday. Jan. 36, rides of the grounds 

 to govern, both men to stand at SOj'ds. As an earnest each man de- 

 posited a forfeit or ,f30 in the hands of the trap editor of Forest and 

 Stream. The bii-ds, wliich the agi-eement stipulates must be good 

 ones, will be paid for out of the purse, this leaving 8175 for the winner. 

 The niatcli is to take place on thh above date regardless of weather 

 conditions. On the above day there will also be an open to all shoot 

 at live birds on Erb's grounds, beginnmg at 10:30 A. M. Tlie pro- 

 gramme wiU be as follows; First event. 6 birds, go entry (no more 

 than 3 moneys); 10 birds, $10 entry; 15 birds, 1^15 entry (in the latter 

 two events if more than ten entries there will be fom- moneys ) • miss 

 and out, $3 entry, with privUege of one re-entry if missed on the first 

 round. Modified Hurlingham rules .will govern all events. The WUley- 

 Gasper match wUl probably follow the lO-bird event.

The trap-shooters of St. Louis are raising money to build a club 

 hou.se and establish a shooting park somewhere near the city. The 

 society will be known as the Trap-Shooters' Association of St' Louis, 

 and will be incorporated with $10,000 capital. More than 20 per cent, of 

 the money was subscribed within forty-eight hours after the scheme 

 Avas launched. The idea is to build a :g2.500 to $3,000 club house in the 

 neighborhood, and to make it the grandest affair of the kind in the 

 country. Necessarily it will be headquarters for trap-shooting in the 

 West. The projectors are confident that the enterprise will be a 

 money-making one. The papers are open for signatures at Rawlings's, 

 on Pine street, St. Louis.

 Bethlehem or Allentown, two and one-half miles. Finest gi-ounds in 

 the State, and will be occupied by the John F. AA'iler Club, of Allen- 

 town, and the Wyandott of South Bethlehem, A first class place to 

 settle disputes by |jrofessioual shooters.
