Shooting at Flemington. 



Flemington, N. J., Dec. 25.— Inclosed find scores made to-day at the 

 Christmas shoot of the Flemington Gun Club, also of a practice shoot 

 at live birds made on Friday, Dec. 22. The shooting to-day was at 

 bluerocks, three traps, unknown angles, American Association rules. 

 Each event was at ten singles each man. The day was warm, but the 

 wind blew in all directions, which made the targets fly in all shapes, 

 which accounts for the low scores. The live birds were the best we 

 have ever seen trapped; of the whole number not one needed the Hag 

 and there were no incomers. Hurliugham rules, 28yds. rise, all shoot- 

 ing 12-gauge guns. Scores follow: 



Event No. 1, at 10 singles, J. Chamberlin 8, D. Boss 7, G. E. Reading

West Shore Gun Club. 



Syracuse, N. V., Dec. 24.— At the regular shoot of the West Shore 

 Gun Club, held last Saturday, Dec. 23, the following scores were made. 

 Blu^rock targets were used, known traps, unknown angles. The 

 targets are thrown low and hard, the shooter stands facing the south, 

 many of the targets go directly east or west. The background is 

 dark, and the record of 46 out of 50 tells the story better than I can:

Meadville Gun Club. 



Meadville, Pa„ Dec. 26.— Editor Forest and Stream: Our gun 

 club held a special shoot on Christmas, and I send you a report of the 

 result. It has been some little time since they held their last regular 

 shoot for the season, and the boys are somewhat out of practice. The 

 day was very fine, but the shoot commenced so late in the day that it 

 was almost dark before they got through; this will account for the 

 rather indifferent scores of the sweepstakes. We have a strong club 

 here, and some fine shots, but owing to the fact of it being Christmas 

 the members were not all present:

West Shore Gun Club. 



Syracuse, N. Y., Dec. 26 — I inclose herewith scores made at yes- 

 terday's shoot of the West Shore Gun Club. This was a practice 

 shoot and Harvey McMurchy distinguished himself by breaking 42 out 

 of 50, a high score for these grounds, which is considered one of the 

 most difficult in the country, bluerock targets being used and these 

 being thrown at very hard angles. The turnout was good, and as the 

 weather was pleasant everybody had a "Merry Christmas." Ten dol- 

 lars is offered to any one getting 50 straight during the year — visitors 

 or any one. Scores:

Hell Gate Gun Club. 



On Tuesday of last week twelve members of the Hell Gate Club 

 assembled in Miller's Dexter Park grounds for their regular monthly 

 shoot at targets. The weather was fair and cold, and was rather a 

 handicap upon some of the members whose circulation was a little 

 clogged from Christmas indulgences the day previous. 



Col. Voss, however, whose physical condition is generally normal, 

 did not seem to be affected in the least, and he gave his clubmates a 

 lively race for high score for the club medal. Eugene Doenick and 

 J . P. Dannefelser made a hard struggle to down the colonel, but the 

 pace was too hot for them. 



Through an error in dates on the part of the Nassau Gun Club, its 

 members were also called out to shoot the regular club events, and in 

 order not to disappoint the members of the Nassau Club, who were 

 present, the Hell Gate Club decided to restrict its shoot to the club 

 event of 20 targets, and combine with the Nassau members and devote 

 the balance of the day to live bird shooting. 



Mine host Miller had his coops stocked with a lot of good birds, and 

 when the live bird sweeps were opened the shooters found it decidedly 

 difficult to stop them within the boundary lines. In the first event 

 Col. Selover, of the Nassaus, finished his score with one kill to his 

 credit, and Lindner, of the Hell Gate Club, finished his score with five 

 clean goose eggs. 



In the second sweep Young, of the Nassau Club, retired on his 

 fourth bird, having killed only one out of the four 



In the third sweep Edgerton, of the Nassaus, got mixed up with the 

 hard birds and finished his score with one kill in five shot at. Jim 

 Bennett, of the Nassaus, shot in good form, and brought down every 

 bird in expert style. The scores: 



Club shoot, 20 targets per man:

Trap at Athens. 



Athens, Pa., Dec. 27.— Following are the scores made at a live bird 

 shoot held on the Driving Park at this place on the 26th. The shoot 

 was to have taken place on Christmas Day, but owing to the birds 

 hot being delivered it was postponed till next day, and owing to the 

 sudden change in weather some of the shooters failed to appear. 

 Those who took part were Von VVolfradt, Kramer, Davies and Segar, 

 of Athens, and W K. Park, of Wilkesbarre, who was spending holi- 

 days in this place. The match was at 15 five birds each, 28yds. rise, 

 both barrels. All contestants used American wood powder in both 

 barrels. The birds were an extra lot of strong flyers, being fresh 

 caught, and not a bird refused to fly. The day was cold and a strong 

 wind helped the birds to get over the boundary- Following are the 

 scores: 



Von Wolfradt. .120120222112022— 12 Kramer 002012020211003—8

P. G. McR., Lagos.— An ice yacht running before the wind, with no 

 wave making and practically no friction to stop her, will gain in speed 

 with each impulse, of the wind until the tendency is to travel faster 

 than the wind itself, thus creating a back pressure on the fore side of 

 the sail, and retarding her speed to that of the wind. In running to 

 leeward in an ice yacht the boom is never squared off, as in a sailing 

 vessel, but the sheet is kept well in; the yacht is sailed close until she 

 reaches her maximum speed, and then is headed off for her course, 

 running until her momentum is partly lost, when she is again hauled 

 on the wind. 



J. H. H., Schuylers Lake, N, Y.— I have a 12-gauge Parker double- 

 barreled gun that had become bright from constant use, and I desire 

 to either "blue" or "brown" the barrels. Please give me some reliable 

 formula for doing so. Ans. Take loz. muriate tincture of steel, loz. 

 spirits of wine, J^oz. muriate of mercury, %oz. strong nitric acid, %oz. 

 bluestone, Iqt. water. Mix well and allow to stand thirty day s. Re- 

 move oil or grease from barrels by means of lime and lay mixture on 

 lightly with a sponge every ten hours. It should be scratched off with 

 a steel wire brush night and morning until the barrels are dark 

 enough. Then remove acid by means of boiling water, rubbing bar- 

 rels till nearly cool. If the barrels are laminated steel, use less water 

 in the preparation. (From "Hints and Points for Sportsmen.")
