 chances that offer, w T hether in his favor or not. He is now billed for

 things" (I): Tuesday, March 6, at 15 live birds, for $25 a side, against

 club putting in five men. who shot at 25 targets each, from unknown 

 traps and angles. Frank E. Butler was referee. The fact of having to 

 shoot up hill with trees for a background, made the work far below

We are informed by Mr. John A. Hartner, the major-domo of shoot- 

 ing affairs in and about Baltimore, Md., that on April 11, 12 and 13, the 

 ever-lively Baltimore Gun Club will hold its tenth annual tournament 

 at Baltimore. Although Mr. Hartner does not name the grounds we 

 presume the shoot will take place at Acton's Park on the opposite 

 side of the Patapsco River. The shoot will be under the management 

 of H. A. Penrose of New London, Conn., and E. D. Miller of Spring- 

 field, N. J., which is proof postive that there will not be much lost 

 time between events, but that "hustle" will be the word all through. 

 Programmes will be out in a few days. Watch for them, as the events 

 will be worth entering.

Tbe Hillsides Like the McMurchy System. 



Chestnut Hill, Pa., Feb. 22.— What indicated a big shoot was spoiled 

 by the snow that fell last night. But there were enough shooters on 

 hand to keep the trap going from twelve o'clock until dark. There 

 being no 'printed program, the races were made to suit the shooters 

 and two 15 target events were shot on the McMurchy system and they 

 gave great satisfaction, Some kicking was done at first by those get- 

 ting 14, but when it was found that they would not have got any more 

 had the purses been divided 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent, they saw what a 

 good scheme it was, and a great many more races of this kind will be 

 shot at Philadelphia in the near future. The shooters of Philadelphia 

 want to congratulate Mr. McMurchy for finding out a plan where 

 dropping will not be rewarded. 



The principal event of the day was 25 targets, $2.50 entrance, Mr. 

 Carlisle getting away with first money with 25 out of 25. To event No. 

 13 a large turkey weighing 301bs. was added to first money, and our 

 old friend Green (Win. Garvin), got away with the turkey and money 

 in fine style, being the only one to get 15 straight. Taking the shoot 

 altogether it was a success, as are all the shoots given by this club as 

 the management of said club is very liberal and all the shooters like 

 to go to see them even if their grounds are so unhandy to get to. If 

 this club could get grounds convenient to the railroad, there would 

 not be a more popular one in the State. H. T.

Rochester Bod and Gun Club. 



Rochester, N. Y., Feb. 23.— Inclosed you will find the scores of our 

 club tournament held on Washington's Birthday, in all the events ex- 

 cept the team rac«, which was an optional sweep and shot under the 

 old style of money division. The purses were divided as suggested by 

 Mr. Harvey McMurchy in his new handicap, an illustration of which 

 appeared in your last issue. This system certainly prevents dropping 

 for place, and the general opinion was that it would do first-rate for 

 races of 15 targets or more, as in 10 bird events so many get in the ties 

 there is hardly any surplus for a tournament where there are a large 

 number of entries and the shooting rather difficult a straight score 

 would pay more money than under the usual division of purses. 



Mr. E. C. Meyer and H. M. Stewart were chosen captains to divide 

 the club members into teams and shoot for a supper, the losing side to 

 settle the bill. Owing to the stormy day they were only twenty mem- 

 bers present, they were the old stand-bys, and always turn out when 

 wanted. 



The feature of the team race was the last squad, which was com- 

 posed of only two men, one from each side, and they were of about 

 equal rating. On this squad depended the result. Mr. Quirk proved 

 himself equal to the occasion, but alas! Mr. Maguire (whose real name 

 by the way, is Thos. H. Kent) must have lost his nerve, he certainly 1 

 lost the team race, for he only succeeded in getting a small piece out 

 of 6 of the 25 shot at. However, we all enjoyed the supper and want 

 just such another race soon.

 I was unable to fully appreciate until last November, when it was afcl 

 solutely impossible for me to do any shooting. In the spring, althougll 

 very busy I would imitate the sagacious Teuton, who would wheil

 that he wouldn't do anything and then go a-flahing, J. A, P, I
