Shooting at South Hatfield. 



South Hatfield, Pa., Oct. 11.— This is a new place for a shooting: 

 match, but Lukens Svrartz, the prime mover in thi.« match, is an o]d 

 shooter and one of the good ones, too, and thf fine lot of birds that he 

 got together to have a mutch this afternoon for a fine pair of three- 

 year-old ponies were good enough to make any shooter's mouth water 

 and trigger finger itch just to look at them it would be hard to find 

 a better lot even in midwinter, and when they were put into the traps 

 they showed that their looks did not belie them; for as soon as the 

 traps were opened most of them were off in a hurry, as if they had an 

 errand in some distant town. For one. I am sorry some of our good 

 pigeon shooters were not on hand so that the pony match could have 

 come off, but as thei-e were not enough shooters on the grounds, it 

 was decided to have a few sweeps. Two miss-and-out sweeps were 

 shot off when the dinner bell at the South Hatfield Hotel sounded, and 

 as boys will eat. every one adjourned to the hotel; and many a 

 straight score was made at the table, where a good country dinner was 

 served. 



After dinner and a smoke all were again ready to try a shot, but the 

 way Thomas, of Ambler, was cutting down the birds discouraged the 

 shooters from around here, and very few of them would go into a 

 miss-and-out. But Pop Miles was on hand and ready to take the lead, 

 as he alvvavs is at a shoot. Whether he is shooting good or bad he is 

 always ready to shoot a match. He is not made of the stuff that 

 takes water because he misses a bird, but tries again, and says if he 

 does not kill his birds he does not expect to win. Some people want 

 the purses fixed so they can win whether they kill or not. 



The traps were set in a large level field, about 200yds. from the 

 hotel, and the boundary staked off with white flags. All shooting was 

 under Hurlingham rules, with 30yds. rise for both 10 and 13-gauge guns. 



Among those present we'-e W. H. Thomas and A. Clemens of Am- 

 bler; D. Aimen, one of the crack shots of the Jenkentown Gun Club; 

 M. L. Moyer, G. Hunsburger, M^ A. Freed and Dr. Ritter of Souder- 

 ton; J. Hildebitel of Telford; W, B. Moyer and E K. Cowling of Lans- 

 doer; P. Slough of North Wales; H. D., Geo. B. and Wm Rous of Hat- 

 field, three brothers, as fine built and as genial fellows as could be 

 found in any famil.^'; three of them would make 18ft. if laid out head 

 to feet, and can pull the scales at almost 6001 bs. ; they are great bicy- 

 cle riders, and one of them tells me he has ridden all over this part of 

 the State this summer, and riding here among the hills is not as easy 

 as some places I know of. Tbey are also great game hunters durmg 

 the season and own some of the finest dogs in Pennsylvania.

J. L. S., Chatham, N. B.— So far as we know, there is no difference, 

 but there is a popular belief that a vessel is faster with hatches off. 



T. S. R., Salem, Oreg n.— A scow of 45ft. waterline, 12ft. beam and 

 5ft. depth of hold would be large enough. The Ketch rig, a modified 

 yawl with a larger mizen, would be preferable to a schooner. 



Sareatjlt, Eddy, New Mexico.— 1. What tools and materials are the 

 best for taking lead and rust out of shotgun and rifle barrels? 2. What 

 remedy is effectual for removing the pitting in shotgun barrels? 3. 

 Are nitro or newer smokeless powders injurious in any way to shot- 

 guns? 4. Are rifle cartridges loaded with any of the smokeless pow- 

 ders obtainable in the market? 5. If not, of whom can I obtain infor- 

 mation as to the loading of the same? 6 Am I right in supposing ex- 

 plosive bullets are not adapted to repeating rifles? 7. What is the con- 

 struction of explosive bullets and the material employed? 8. Have 

 they ever proved successful in as small calibers as .32? 9. Can the 

 amateur make his own explosive bullets with any chance of success? 

 Ans. 1. To remove lead use mercury, plugging up the barrel to pre- 

 vent its escape and shaking so that it will come in contact with all 

 parts of the bore. For rust use any good gun cleaner. 2. Send your 

 gun to a gunsmith and have it emeried. 3. If properly loaded, no. 

 Especial care must be taken, however, to clean thoroughly after 

 shooting, as nitros are more corrosive in their action than black pow- 

 ders. 4. Not that we know of. 5. Write the manufacturers of smoke- 

 less powders. 6. Explosive bullets are not used in repeating rifles. 7. 

 The bullet is hollowed out and the cavity filled with some explosive 

 compound, commonly black powder, which is ignited by a percussion 

 cap or detonating powder. 8. No; their use is almost entirely confined 

 to the very largest calibers. 9. An explosive bullet may be made by 

 taking the bullet from a .22cal b. b. cap and inserting the cap and 

 charge of fulminate into the hollowed point of the bullet. We would 

 recommend rather the use of split or hollow point bullets.
