your paper to say this, tiat there may be no apprehension on the part 

 of the directors and officers of the League in this State thinking that 

 action may have been taken without their knowledge or consent. — 

 Jason E. Nichols, Pres. Michigan S. T. S. L. 



We have received copies of the Wilmington Gun Club programme, 

 which shows a carefully arranged series of events for April So, 26 and 

 27. On the first day there will be a 10, 15. 20 and 25 target event under 

 the "Jack Babbit" system; the same under the old system; a two man 

 team race at 25 targets per man, 85 entry, and a shoot at 5 pairs. On 

 the second day there will be 10, 15, 20 and 25 target events, "Jack Rab- 

 bit;" 10, 15, SO and 35, old system; 5 pairs and an event at 50 targets, 

 85 entry, for the championship of the Middle States. The third day's 

 programme shows a 10, 15, 2(1, 10 and 26 target event, -'Jack Rabbit," 

 and a 10, 15, 20, 15 and 10 target eve"t under the old system In the 

 "Jack Rabbit" events eacb break will yield the shooter a dime, and the 

 surplus will be divided 50, 30 and 20 per cent. There will be four 

 moneys in the other events. Willis's Hotel will be headquarters for 

 the shooters. The shoot will be held at Union Street Park, reached by 

 Front street electric cars. 



The Lake ViewJRod and Guu Club of Worcester, Mass., held its an- 

 nual meeting April 4 and elected these officers: President, C. M. Wil- 

 liams; Vice-President, John Roper; Clerk and Treasurer, Horace B. 

 Long; Directors, Geo. S. McLellen, N. W. Parker, O. F. Djdge, M. E. 

 Stanton. The retiring treasurer's report made a satisfacfory showing. 

 The receipts, with properties, amounted to 1642.33, the expenditures 

 were $462.82 and the increase in value of property ®1~1 96, leaving a 

 cash balance of g20.55. A silver trophy cup has been presented to the 

 club by I. E Bigelow, to be competed for in a special series of shoots 

 to be held during the season. Among the improvements of the range 

 and approaches contemplated are a cinder sidewalk and a stone cul- 

 vert, to be built between the street and club house. Five Cleveland 

 traps are to be put in at the range, together with a new Empire tar- 

 get, trap pull and indicator. 



N. G. Money, son of Capt. A. W. Money, who is connected with his 

 father in the E. C. Powder Co., of Oakland N. J., used his father's gun 

 in the American handicap at iJexter Park. The guu is a handsomely 

 modeled l^'-bore Park«r, made to order for the captain and is a perfect 

 shooter. It was too long in the stock tor Mon>-y, Jr., even with thf 

 butt-plate removed, but nevertheless, he killed 123 out of 25 birds in 

 the handicap, and 3 out of 4 in the shoot-off of the tie, winning second 

 money. The three birds lost, each fell dead less tflan a yard from the 

 21-yd. line. This speaks well for Mr. Money's holding as well as for 

 the Parker and E. C. powder. 



The executive committee of the Johnstown (N. Y,) Gun Club has 

 decided to open the season's shooting to-morrow. The prmcipal con- 

 tests wiU be for the Crittenden medal at twenty known and ten un- 

 known angles, the one making the best average in any ten shoots dur- 

 ing the season to become owner of the medal, and for the Rogers 

 groups, in order to contest for which members must pay a fee of $7 

 and are required to shoot at five separate periods and 50 birds at each 

 time. One making best average in 200 is the winner. 



The following scores were nmd'^ at Pearl River, N. Y., on April 3, 

 by teams in the Bergen and Rockland County Guu Club League, six 

 men per team, 25 targets per man: Closter Gun Club— Ferdon 21, 

 Eiehler 21, Hoffman 20. Parsells 17, Van Valeu 15, Lindemann 13; 

 total 107. SufEern Gun Club— Harper 21, Zabriskie 18, Rehling 18, 

 Taylor 18, Rosenbaum 14, Fenton 16; total 105. Pearl River Gun 

 Club— Blauvelt, Jr.. 22, Van Riper 19, Post 18, Rudlin 17, Jersey 15, 

 Blauvelt, Sr., 14; total 105. 



In a letter printed in our issue of March 16, by John L. Brewer, the 

 writer said of E. D. Fulford: "He speaks about beating me in Ave 

 matches, and tieing me once, but does not say what he won." In our 

 issue of April 6 a correspondent finds in the quoted sentence an inti- 

 mation that the Brewer-Fulford matches were not 6ofta^de money 

 contests. In a note from Mr. Brewer is made allegation that this 

 was an erroneous mterpretation of the signiflcation of his declaration. 



The Game Protective Association and Johnstown Gun Club of 

 Johnstown, N. Y ., has elected the appended list of officers for tne en- 

 suing year; President, L. F. Northrup; first vice-president, Alvin 

 Walrath; second vice-president, Wm. Potter; third vice-president, J. 

 A. Banta; .secretary, F. W. Partiss; treasurer. W. F. Chapman; 

 executive committee, L. F. Northrup, Lucien Hillabrandt and Jos. Y. 

 Fulton; field captain, Jas. Pierson; field Ueutenant, John Timmons. 



Louis Miller the portly and hustling proprietor of Dexter Park, Long 

 Island, will engineer an old-fashioned match on his popular grounds in 

 October. The conditions will be 25 live birds per man. $-'0 entry. "H. 

 and T." traps, handicap rises, 80yds. boundary, one barrel, gun below 

 the elbow until bird is on the wing. Mr. Miller, with his accustomed 

 liberahty will add $200 to the purse, the aggregate to be divided 50, 30 

 and 20 per cent., after the birds are deducted. 



"Was the new boundary used at the Interstate handicap a success?" 

 W. "Roberts," Ferd. Van Dyke, T. W. Morfey, PhU. Daly, Jr.,andNeaf 

 Apjar pronounced against it, whUe others said it cotdd be improved 

 upon. One of the most prominent contestants said he would prefer 

 to have a 50 yd. boundary and have a circle 5 yds. indiametea-, mai-ked 

 around each trap, a bu'd falhng inside of said circle to be a "no bird." 



The new hammer less double gun manufactured by the Forehand 

 Arms Co., of Worcester, Mass., is in every respect a beautiful gun 

 and a wonder when the low price is considered. The barrels are 

 three-iron Damascus and bored for hard sliooting, and the stock is 

 finely modeled. Those interested should send for descriptive cata- 

 logue, which gives details of mechanism, etc. 



The following officers were elected at the annual meeting of the 

 HorneUsviUe (N. Y.) Gun and Game Prr>tective Association. Presi-

 man; captain rifle team, F. B. Watterman. The members intend to 

 make this a model club this season.

 assumed that the tournament will receive strong local support. 



On June 1 the American Arms Co. will begin operations in their 

 new factory in Milwaukee. Wis. The factory, which is au extensive 

 building of stone and briclc, is on the line of the M.. L. S. & W. R, R. 

 The firm wiU not discontinue work in its East Boston factory until all 

 is in readiness to begiu with the new plant. 



Arthur W. Du Bray the popular Southern salesmen for the Parker 

 gun i3eople, will have a six months' picnic at the World's Fail', looking 

 after the firm's exhibit which comprises over 100 guns of various 

 sizes, styles and qualities. It is safe to .say that the interests of the 

 firm are in safe hands.

 under the auspices of the Johnstown Gun Club on April2,5, promises to 

 be a successful and well attended afiEau-. All trains will stop at the

The Grand American Handicap. 



The grand American handicap of the Interstate Manufacturers' and 

 Dealers' Association was sho'' at Miller's Dexter Park on Wedne.=day, 

 April 5, beginning at 11 A. M. The weather was fairly good, the birds 

 were good and the arrangements were good, but where, oh! where 

 were the sbooters? Several weeks before shooters had been in- 

 formed that there were thirty entries; a little later the entries had 

 swelled to forty, and the week precedine the shoot the public was 

 assured that tlie list showed nearly fifty entries, while Secretary 

 Penrose was confident of securing "from fifty to ou« hundred." 



When it came to the flue point of calling shooters to the score, how- 

 ever, just twenty-one men responded and three forfeited, tliis being 

 conclusive that for some reason unknown to science the list had 

 shrunk so as to bold only twenty-four names in ail. Some people were 

 bold enough to say that the innovation in the way of a boundary pre- 

 vented some from entering. Others attributed the lack of interest t" 

 the frequent changes in dates, conditions, location, etc., but of course 

 we will not say they wei-e rig lit. uor will we be bold enough to posi- 

 tively agree with other who claim that many .^hooters became dis- 

 gusted at what they claim were "misrepresentations" in referem^e to 

 the number of entries. Some people are given to intimating many 

 ci'ucl tbing«, and of course the public can suit itself about believing 

 8 dd intimations. 



But it was a good shoot for all : a shoot that called out shooters of 

 the premier class; a shoot at good flying birds; a shoot with a bound- 

 ary that was a decided innovation and one that called for the very 

 tiuest of judgment. The weather when the shoot began was fairly 

 clear, with breeze enough to help the birds in their flight and clear 

 away the smoke. Toward the close of the handicap, however, the air 

 gotliazy, the wind raw and cutting, and overcoats were a necessitj'. 

 The conditions of the shoot were live birds per man, 8S5 entry, rises 

 from 26 to sayds., boundary a circle Slyds. in diameter around each 

 trap, the tkree high guns to take the purse, the Association adding 

 S2«: to first money. The moneys were ,6177.50, S' 16.50 and $111. 



The entries were Geo. Work, of the Carteret Club; Fred Hoey, Phil 

 Daly, Jr. and IN. G. Money, of the Hollywood Club, Jas. Dickson, T. 

 O'Eianlon, J. B. Englnnd, J. B. McWhorler and Mr. Snyder, of Pitts- 

 burgh; Ferd. Van Dyke, of Newark; Messrs. Rutherford and Howard, 

 Neaf Apgar, of Plamfleld; E. D. Miller, of Springfield, N J.; Wm. H. 

 Wolstencroft and Jas. Wolstencroft, of Frankford, Pa ; T. W. .Morfey, 

 of Paterson, N. J.; J. L. Brewer, of Bridgeton, N. J.; W. "Roberts," of 

 Philadelphia; Tho.s. A. Peacock, of Westfleld, N. Y., and Capt. Wm. 

 Cramer ( Jones"), of Jersey City, N. J. Those who forfeited were 

 Messrs. Dolan, Moore and Fowler. 



Among the spectators were noticed A. W. DuBray, representing the 

 Parker gun ; T. H. Keller, U. S. Cartridge Co. ; Al Heritage, of Jersey 

 City; George Oochrau, GUI Hall, Pa.; J. S. Hoey, New York; H. E. 

 Buckwalcer, Royersford, Pa. ; J. A. G. Dressel, Union Metallic Car- 

 tridge Co. and treasurer of the Interstate Association ; .Jastus von Len- 

 gerke, of the New York firm of Vou Lengerke & Detmold ; Ellas Hel- 



fius. of WoodlawU; Chas Tatham, of the Tatham Bros, shot works; 

 . W. Pfender, R Pflster, Jr. and P. Schleiman, of Brooklyn; Capt. J. 

 A. Shepherd. Queens, L. 1.; Jas. Scheffiein, Brooklyn; Geo. Plaisted, of 

 Bayonue; Richard, better known as "Dickey," SchaefCer, of Schover- 

 hng, Daly & Gale's, and Boss Hugh McLaughlin. 



H. A. Penrose, secretary, and Elmer E. Shaner, manager of the In- 

 terstate Association; were on deck with their hands full of business. 



The traps were arranged 5yds. apart as usual, and to each trap was 

 attached a string 21yds. in length. On the end of each striug was a 

 peg, and when a bird fefl within what looked to be a close margin of 

 the boundary Mr. Penrose, who acted as referee, would run out to the 

 string connected with the trap from which the bird had flown and de- 

 cide the bird dead or lost as the case might be. This rather delayed 

 the game as a great many of the lost birds f eU dead close to the boun- 

 ary. 



The birds, as we have said, were a good lot, some of them being as 

 good as ever left a trap. The character of the birds and the fact that 

 in order to score the shooters were obliged to "grass 'em" within 

 21yds. of a trap called for some splendid exhibitions of sldll. The luck 

 of the birds was about evenly distributed. According to agreement, 

 the shooters withdrew on three misses, with the understanding that 

 they were to resume shooting when all had faUen into one place. 

 Morfey went out on the fourth round, O'Hanlon on the fifth, Ruther- 

 ford on the fifth, Howard on the seventh. Mack on the sixth, J. Wols- 

 tencroft on the stxih, Daly on the ninth, W. H. Wolstencroft on the 

 eighth, Snyder on the fourteenth, Bessemer on the fifteenth, Miller on 

 the thirteenth, Jones on the eleventh. Brewer on the fifteenth, Apgar 

 on the sixteenth, Crow on the twentienth, Hoey on the sixteenth 

 and Peacock on the twenty-second, so that only' Work, Money, Van 

 Dyke and Roberts shot at the full quota of birds, these killing 2a each 

 These shot off, miss and out, for first, second and third moneys. On 

 the second round Van Dyke lost his bird, an easy flyer, which he 

 shmfld have kiUed with his first barrel, faUing dead a yard beyond the 

 line. This lost Van Dyke all chance for money, as the otlier three 

 killed. On the third round Work got a tricky driver, which he hit 

 hard with a fine double, but the bird concluded to go about Gin. over 

 the line to die. On the next round lost by a dead out of botmds. 

 and as Roberts killed, the first pot went to him. Money getting second 

 and Work third. The scores:

On the Second Day 

 the weather was raw and damp and everybody felt uncomfortable ex- 

 cept when standing close to the stove. The attendance was about the 

 same as on the opening day, some new-comers taking the place of 

 those who remamed away. Among the contestants wei-e Richard 

 Sunderman, of the New Jer.aey Shooting: Club: Eddy Colhus, of Ho- 

 boken. who looks after the cartridge loading interests of the W. Fred.

The Third Day 



was a stormy one, snow, hail and rain alternating. The wind was 

 strong and fitful, and, as on Thursday, the .stove was in great de- 

 mand. The attendance was light and only two sweepstakes were 

 shot. 



There was an interesting contest, however, between Th^s. H. Pea- 

 cock, of Westlield. N. V., and J. L. Brewer, of Bridgeton, N. J., for a 

 11,000 purse. Brewer shooting at 100 birds and Peacock at 104. The 

 match was all in Brewer's hands from the start and was never 

 headed, killing 96 birds and having 3 fall dead out of bounds. Pea- 

 cock on his 100th round had killed 87 and lost 8 dead out of bounds. 

 He stopped_ at th's point, it not being necessary for him to shoot at 

 his 4 reraainine birds. The scores:

A Peoria Blackbird Contest. 



Pboria, IU.— Robert Wilson and H. R. Babcock are two of the many 

 good shots that live within the State of Illinois. Mr. Wfison has won 

 a majority of all the matches he has shot of late .years, whUe Mr. Bab- 

 cock made the best score at the lUinois State shoot last year in the 

 contest for the Smith cup. After some sparring a race was made be- 

 tween these parties, conditions 100 single Peoria blackbirds, from three 

 traps, 50 at known and 50 each at unknown, purse $50 a side. 



The match was shot at ChiUicothe during a cold, drizzling rain, 

 accompanied by some wind. Consequently the day was disagreeable 

 for both contestants and spectators. The score wiU show that 

 Babcock was not in it from start to finish, Mr. Wilson breaking 49 out 

 of the 50 known angles and missed pos.sibly not above three or fom- out 

 of the 50 unknown angles, the other misses being made ptu'posely. 

 Mr. Babcock is a plucliy shooter and comes up smiling ready for an- 

 other shoot, and has challengfed Wilson to a contest, half being 

 doubles. Mr. Wilson will no doubt accept and will name Peoria as the 

 place of meeting. The scores:
