"Little Neaf" Defeats "Dutchy." 



Norfolk, Va., Jan.-80.— A good-natured party of Jerseymen came to 

 our town yesterday to witness the match at 100 live birds between Neaf 

 Apgar, of Evona, and Charles Smith, the well-known "Dutchy" of 

 Plainfield. The match, which was for 8850 a side, was shot at Ocean 

 View, near the city. Apgar, by virtue of having defeated Billy Hurst 

 last spring, was a prime favorite. The birds were "corkers." 



Wm. P. Ives was referee; Wm. N. White, of Portsmouth, trap-puller; 

 John Benner, of Plainfield, threw the dice, and the scoring .was ■done 

 by P. Goldbogler. Apgar was in good form throughout and did some 

 pretty killing. Smith seemed to be out of form or to have lost his 

 nerve during the first part of the race, although when too late he 

 braced up aud killed 38 out of his last 40 birds. The scores follow:

The Gunpowder Tests. 



Watertown, N. Y., Dec. 27.— I have looked forward to and read 

 with a great deal of interest the gunpowder test of Mr. Armin Tenner, 

 and should have liked very much to have known the kind of wadding 

 and amount of pressure on loads, etc. But the main question is, was 

 the powder weighed or measured— 3drs. of Sehultze=42grs. ; 3drs. 

 of S. S.=38grs.; 3drs. of E. C.=44grs.; 3drs. of American wood— 

 33grs. ? If the powder was measured in a 3drs. measure, was it a fair 

 test for any of them? Wh. H, Tallett. 



Answer.— The information asked for by Mr. Tallett in regard to the 

 wadding material employed is given in another space of this issue. 



The pressure on the loads was the same with all powders. The 

 wads were simply brought home well by hand pressure. If a wad is 

 thus properly seated any extra pressure exercised will, as a rule, have 

 very little bearing on the behavior of a powder. 



The powders were measured, not weighed, but the method employed 

 afforded ample guarantee for accuracy, and the tolerances were so 

 insignificant that they hardly if at all influenced the ballistic qualities 

 erf any of the powders, Armin Tennkr. 



Handicapping Trap-Shooters. 



Editor Forest and Stream; 



Being a target shooter and having had considerable experience tm 

 running club snoots and tournaments, I have naturally seen a greata 

 many of the faults in the. present system of target shooting, which |] 

 very much wish could beremedied, and to reach that end I have given^ 

 some time and study, the result of which I give below. I call it the? 

 "Standard system," because first used on the Standard Gun Clunjj 

 grounds in this city. 

 Ten singles, entrance $1, targets extra:

For all over 5 that you break you get 20 cents each "Jack Rabbit." I, 

 Divide the surplus equally among the 10s, 9s and 8s— i. e., 5 in the 

 three classes get $1 each. When there are 6 or less shooting I make 

 two places, when there are 7 to 10 entries I make three places, when 

 there are 11 or over I make four places. I claim that the above sys- 

 tem will prevent dropping birds intentionally, which of itself stops 

 shooters from cliquing together. W. T. C. I
