HoBOKEN, N. J.. Mai-eli 12.— H^.Z/for Forest and Slream: The state- 

 ment published in last week's 1".)F!est and Stream signed -'The Eagle," 

 aitecting the stau^hng of the liiher Kifle Club, is untrue. Thei-e is no 

 discontent "reigning in the wiswam'' whatever, and furtliermore if 

 this w^ere the case, there woidd not be the smallest iota of cause for it. 

 It is true that the last election of officers did not go the way several 

 individuals desired, and "The Eagle'' probably secured his infoi'mation 

 from the pai-ties mentioned. And if "The Eagle" hereafter finds rifle 

 news scarce he will kindly refrain from attackmg the Bliller Rifle Club, 

 as that club is to-day one of the strongest iu the" State. Hojjing that 

 you give this article the same protuinence accorded "The Eagle's" 

 statement, we remain, respectfully yours, Mir.r.KB Rifle Club, 



Ernest Fischek, Capt. J. H. KitusE, Sec'y. 



Capt. Ernest Fischer now having the time at hand to shoot a match, 

 would lilie to arrange a series of three ^xith ex-Capt. C. E. Bird, Hud-

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



We publish in this issue a fac simile of an autograph letter from the 

 secretary of the Hmdingliara Club of London, testifying to the fact 

 that "Rule 3" of the Htirlingham rules has been altered This rule 



C WisseU 101—3 PKitiueweiler. isil— 3 



H Bookman 111—3 



formerly read as follows; "2. The gun must not be held to the 

 shoulder until the shooter has called 'Pull.' The butt must be clear 

 below the arm- pit, otherwise the referee shall declare no bird." As 

 sliown by the letter the gun can now be held in any position. 



John Ryan, of Hackensack, N. J., who formerly conducted the Man- 

 sion House at Montclah, has come back to the ranks of active shoot- 

 ers and iu about a fortnight he will shoot a 35-bird race for SlOO a side 

 against a young townsman, the match to take place at Marion. Mr. 

 Ryan is one of the old-timers at the sport, having shot at the trap 

 thirty-five years ago with Miles Johnson and other veterans. He has 

 been'practically out of the sport for four or five years but previous to 

 that time he Avon many hard-fought battles. In one of his matches, 

 at 25 live birds, find, trap and handle, the birds being a lot of elmkers, 

 he killed 24 and lost the match, his opponent killing straight. His 

 lost bird was hard hit but managed to struggle to the boimdary, 

 falling dead less than a foot outside. The curious feature of the 

 match was that one of his opponent's birds, also hard hit but appar- 

 ently stronger than the one mentioned above, dropped dead one foot 

 inside the boundary, and within a yard of Mr, Ryan's lost one. This is 

 the luck of the sport. In another find, trap and handle match at 30 

 birds each, he was obhged to kill his last thirteen birds to win, which 

 he did, tbis giving him one bird to the good. It is fifty-one years since 

 Mr. Ryan first saw the light, but he says that when he faces a trap he 

 does not consider himself over twenty -five. 



Baltimokb, Md., March 8.— The first shooting contest between the 

 members of the Standard Gun Club was held yesterday afternoon at 

 Acton's Park. The contests wdll be held every Tuesday during the 

 season, and at its close four yearly prizes will he awarded to those 

 whose percentage is the highest. The first prize will be .f 15 or a gold 

 medal; the second, $12,50 or a gold medal: the third, $10 or a gold 

 medal, and the fourth, a gold medal. Considerable rivalry has mani- 

 fested itself in the club, and the contests will be interesting. At the 

 contest yesterdaj'50 targets each were shot at and the following scoi'es 

 were made: Luxjus 44, Clements 44, Bond 42, Hunter 41, Hunt and 

 Rice 40, Bnckhee and Bonday 38, King 37. Jones 36, Pilson .35, Dixon, 

 Storr and Lotz 34, \A'illiams .30, Hawkins 29 and Dankmyer 33. There 

 was a httle too much tvind for the best shooting. The officers of the 

 club are: L. C: Rice. President; W. E. Buckbee, Vice-President; H. 



E. Lupus. Secretary and Treasurer: \\. T. Clements. Captain; L. C. 

 Rice, \V. E. Buckbee, H. E. Lupus, W. T. Clements, Chas. E, Bonday, 

 J. Hunter and C. W. Gross, Dhectors, 



WiXNtPEG, Manitoba, March ".—The gun clubs are giving out signs 

 of activity — a sure indication of the approach of spring. An inter- 

 view with President Trotter, of the North we.st Gun Club, makes it ap- 

 parent that a good deal of business will be done presently. He is eare- 

 fuUj- scrutinizing prize lists and models of no end of inanimate flyers 

 that the ynti-eruelty society wUl never shed a tear over. He has under 

 consiiieifition samples from all manufacturers of artificial birds on 

 the ei.iiiiiuem. Tlie club practices as soon as the weather permits will 

 he reaiinied. One of the leading events will be the shoot-off for the 

 Hamilton Powder Co's gold medal— open to clubs in Manitoba and the 

 Northwest. The electric cars now run to the shooting ground at Kil- 

 doniin, so that one can get t;here easily and quickly. The club num- 

 bers about 100 menibers, all enthusiastic gunners. Adverting to the 

 sulijeet of the grouse law, why does not this institution place itself on 

 record as to protection and enforcement? 



The Rochester Rod and Gun Club are leaving no stones unturned iu 

 the arrangements for their coming State shoot. Prize committees 

 have Deen appointed as foUows; E. 1). Hicks, cigars and tobacco; AV. 



F. Brinsmaid, manufactories; S. B. Williams, hotels; W. Fole.v, grocers; 

 F. B. Allen, dry goods; W. C. Hadley, clothiers; N. C.Fulton, citizens; 

 S, O. Tru&sdale, lawyers and physicians; Robert Gardiner, boots and 

 ehoes; T. H. Magiilre, coal; J. A. Buckley, r»staurants; (3. E. TrueJj 



dale, bankers; E.E.Meyer, lumber; J. L. Bruff, contractors. William 

 S, Kimball headed each of these subscriptions with $10. Up to date 

 encouraging reports have been received from each of the above com- 

 mittees. H. M. Stewart is the hero of the club, he having written 

 Gov. Flower for a prize, and the Governor ha\dng responded with a 

 check for $35. The committee is confident of securing $4,000 in cash 

 and an equal value of merchandise prizes for the Statue event. 



Newburgh, N. J., March 7.— The annual meeting of the West New 

 burgh Gun and Rifle Association was held last night and the following 

 officers elected; John J. E. Harrison, President; David Brown, Vice- 

 President; Wm. C. Gibb, Secretary; John A. Wood, Treasurer; Adrian 

 Iflssam, Geo. H. Taggart, Wm. P. Rayland, Trustees. The seven offi- 

 cers constitute the Board of Directors. A vote ot thanks was extended 

 to the retiruig officers of the club. The annual report of the treasurei* 

 showed the following: Amount received, .$1,160.34 ; paid out, $1,087.29; 

 cash on hand. $73.95; there is a credit of 116 barrels of clay birds of 500 

 each; the club has an outstanding accotmt with H. C. Higginson of 

 $574.13; of this amount $275 has been jmid, and the amount due him is- 

 .$299.13. The club has no other debts. 



We would be obliged if every shooter who proposes attending the 

 tournament of the Knoxville Gun Club, on May 23, 24 and 35, would 

 send his name and address to the Trap Editor, Forest and Stream, 318: 

 Broadway, New York. In a short time we will probably b ■ able to. 

 give them some interesting and valuable information. This shoot at. 

 Knoxville, by the by, is exciting interest on both sidess of the Atlantic,, 

 as the fact of a single club adding $1,000 in soUd cash, besides several 

 hundred dollars of merchandise for a three days' shoot is something 

 heretofore unheard of. 



The Harrisburg Shooting Association has not been heard front 

 lately, but it is to be presumed that then- members are booming the 

 arrangements for the Pennsylvania State Shoot, to be held under their 

 auspices in August. When the arrangements are sufficiently ad- 

 vanced we may expect to be favored with something elaborate in the 

 way of a programme. And, by the way, we would advise the com- 

 mittee to have its programmes distributed at least one month before 

 the dates of the shoot. 



The second monthly team contest of the New .Jersey Trap Shooters' 

 League wOl be held on the grounds of the Maplewood G un Club, at 

 Maplewood, N. J., on Thursday, March 30. The team shoot wiU begin 

 at 3 P. M. From 9 o'clock until dark there wiU be a series of opeu-to- 

 all sweepstakes on an extra set of traps. Before and after the team 

 race both sets of traps wiU be used. The Maplewoods know how to 

 properly manage a shoot and keep the boys hustling so that there wiU 

 be plenty of lively work. 



A. J. Rust, Harry Thurman, E. David, Frank WiUiard, James Mills, 

 Frank Hoagland and W. Morrison, members of the North End, Ke.y- 

 stone. Forest and Roxborougli gun clubs, are endeavoring to form "a 

 league comprising all the gun clubs of Philadelphia. The idea is to 

 secure gi-ounds convenient to all parts of the city and to erect a com- 

 modious club house. The grounds will he equipped for both live bird 

 and target shooting. 



The opening exposition and trap tournament of the Manufacturers' 

 Trap Shoottag Association will be held at Savannah, Ga., the week 

 after next and the sporting public in general will watch anxiously for 

 news as to the success of the new venture. They need not be alarmed, 

 however, as the fact of the association hanging up $100 in cash each 

 day wiU be a sufficient incentive to attract a paying number of 

 shooters. 



The Union IIUl and New Durham Gun Clubs shot a match on the 

 North Bergen Gun Club grounds on March 8. The teams comprised 

 10 men each and each man shot at 9 live pigeons, under Hurlingham 

 rules. The score at the finish stood Union Hill ,59, New Durham 57. J. 

 B. Collins of the Union Hills, and Adam .Johnson and Frank Hall of 

 the New Durhams killed straight. Capt. Hayes, of Hoboken, was 

 referee. 



The pouring rain on the afternoon of Thursday, March 9, cut the at- 

 tendance at the monthly shoot of the Newark Gun Club down to an 

 even quartette, and these quit the game after shooting at two strings 

 of 10 birds each. The following scores were made: 



Breintnall 3311131111—10 0210338131— 8

The handicap shoot for a high grade Parker gun, which takes place 

 at Cleveland, O., on the first Saturday of each month under the 

 auspices of the Ariington Gun Club, attracted a good field of entries, 

 and some close wwk was done in the opening contest. The contest is 

 open to all club members of Cuyahoga county, and the handicaps 

 have been so carefully arranged that all have an equal chance.

The Altoona Bod and Gun Club has or is about to request the Manu- 

 facturers' Trap Shooting Association to hold one of its expositions at
