Forester Gun Club Tournament. 



Davenport, la., Feb. 20.— The annual tournament of the Forester 

 Gun Club commenced this morning. The weather was very bad and 

 stormy, a high wind from the northwest blew the snow into the shoot- 

 er's eyes, almost blinding him at times, and made the shooting very 

 difficult, ' and I suppose as a rule a number of shooters will read the 

 scores and say, 'T wish T had been there, what a snap I would have 

 bad." To these I will say we would all have been pleased to see you. 

 Among the shooters in attendance were C. M. Grimm, winner of the 

 world's championship badge; John Reed, of Omaha; Harbaugh, of 

 Geneseo; Hofer. of Aledo; Black, of Rock Island; Runge, Leopold and 

 Black, of Burlington ; Grimm and Budd, of Des Moines. The entrance 

 money ran from f.l to $2.50 on targets and from S3 to $6 on live birds, 

 The purses divided in two to five prizes. Score;

Second Day. 



The weather to-day was cold and clear, with a high wind from the 

 northwest and a very difficult light owing to sun and snow. Among 

 the new arrivals were White and McBroom of Geneseo, Wilson of 

 Emmettsburg, Schaffer, Cuming, Hood and Coberne of home talent 

 and Hon. Tom Marshall of Keithsburg. Every oue knows Marshall

 full." Twenty events were shot to-day. Scores:

Third Day. 



The weather to-day was cold with some snow, and the shooting both 

 at targets and live birds quite difficult. Most everyone ran out of 

 shells of their own loading, and commenced work with the Cbamber- 

 lin snuff -'em-out load, 29|drs, E. C. powder, lj^oz trap sevens, which 

 gave the best of satisfaction. Messrs. Leonard, Davis, Kroy and 

 Rackster of the Foresters had charge of the tournament, and every- 

 thing passed off very pleasantly.

Hell Gate Gun Club. 



The monthly shoot of the Hell Gate Gun Club, at Dexter Park, on 

 Tuesday of last week, was one of the most successful held by the club 

 this winter. The Arctic weather of the day previous had given place 

 to a warm southerly wind, making the day a most enjoyable one for 

 outdoor sport. The only drawback was the bright sun and the snow 

 upon the ground, which caused some of the shooters more or less 

 snow blindness. The main feature of the day was a series of five 

 sweeps at targets. These were follo wed by two live bird events.

Red Bank Men Can Shoot. 



Tuesday, Feb. 27, was a great day for members of the Riverside 

 Gun Club, of Red Bank. N. J.; a great day for Parker guns and like- 

 wise a great day for Walsrode powder. It was the day for the big 

 sweep, at 25 live birds, on Al, Heritage's ground at Marion, a sweep 

 from which all the noted professionals had been barred in the hope 

 that more amateurs might be induced to enter. It made no difference, 

 however, in the number of entries, only sixteen men going to the 

 score. This, however, can be considered a good turnout when the 

 stringency of the money market is considered. The management had 

 confidently expected entries from a number of members of the 

 Larchmont, Westminster, Carteret and Riverton clubs, but not a 

 member ot either club appeared on the grounds. 



The day was a pleasant one so far as temperature was concerned, 

 but the glare of the sun on the white snow made an exceedingly try- 

 ing light for the eyes. The shoot began at IP, M„ Jacob Pentz being 

 referee and Qus Greiffi scorer. The entries were A. W. Money, of 

 Oakland; M. F. Lindsley, of Hoboken; M. H. Ruppell, of Milford; 

 Fletcher Walters, of Arlington; T. F. Morfey, of Paterson; E. M. 

 Cooper, J. Ivens and J. Ward, of Red Bank; C. M. Budd, of Long 

 Branch; Chas. Smith, of Plainfield; John Rothaker, of Morristown; 

 John Riggott, of Rockaway ; J. W. Hoffiman, of German Valley; W. G. 

 Hollis, of Kearney ; E. Collins, of Hoboken, and H. A. Penrose of New 

 London. The birds w r ere a fairly good lot, some as good as any one 

 could wish for. 



The shooting of the day was done by two of the Red Bank men, 

 Cooper and Ivens. who killed straight up to the last round when no 

 one else stood to kill more than 23 birds. On the final round Cooper 

 killed, but Ivens unfortunately QJJ got an awful hard (1?) bird which 

 he missed, this giving him second money, 890 all by his lone self, 

 Cooper getting first, ftlSO; while third, $60, went to Walters and Hoff- 

 man. It seemed to be a good day for Parker guns, which won first 

 and second moneys and divided third money with a Greener, and Wals- 

 rode powder also seemed to have struck a pace, winning first and 

 second moneys, third going to Schultzo and E. C. Had there been 

 four moneys the fourth would have been divided by two Parkers and 

 one Smith; by two men shooting American Wood and one man shoot- 

 ing Walsrode. In fifth place were a Greener and Schultze; sixth place, 

 Baker— E. C, Smith— S. S. ; seventh place, Smith— American wood; 

 eighth place, Colt— E. C, three Smith guns and two shooting Ameri- 

 can wood; ninth place, Greener— E. C.

Cresyent Gun Club. 



The monthly shoot of the Crescent Gun Club, at Miller's Dexter 

 Park, on Thursday of last week brought seven members together iu 

 competition for the club trophy. The lamb-like advent of March was 

 a most agreeable change from the Arctic weather of last week, and 

 the members who were present made the most of their opportunities 

 to enjov the afternoon's sport with the birds. The vacancy in the 

 Board of Officers created by the death of Captain Shepherd was filled. 

 In Captain John F. Shepherd the club has lost a companion and 

 brother sportsman whose personality commanded the respect and 

 friendship of all. Scores:

Team Shoot at Paterson. 



One of the most interesting and hotly contested matches ever shot 

 in Paterson took place at Wiilard's Park, ou Saturday, March 3, under 

 favorable weather conditions and in the presence of a couple of 

 hundred people. It was a team race in which Chas. F. Lenone, of 

 Passaic, and J. H. Outwater, of Rutherford, were pitted against W. 

 Smith and E. W. Morgan, both of Paterson, each man shooting at 25 

 live birds, under old Long Island rules, for $50 a side. T. Smith was 

 referee, T. W. Morfey and Gus F. Greiffi being the judges. A feature 

 of the match was the shooting of Outwater, who was not a whit dis- 

 turbed by the "gun below the elbow" proviso, mowing down 24 of his 

 25 hirds in splendid style, and without any exertion. Lenone wais 

 away off on the question of position, and his partner's fine work alone 

 saved the race. The scores were as follows:

Glenmore Rod and Gun Club. 



The monthly shoot of the Glenmore Rod and Gun Club, at Miller's 

 Dexter Park,"ou Wednesday of last week was highly interesting to 

 the five members who were present to participate. The weather was 

 mild and pleasant, and the birds furnished by mine host Miller, were 

 of the usual good quality found at this popular resort.

Flemington. 



Flemington, N. J., March 2.— Inclosed find scores made at to-day's 

 shoot of the Flemington Gun Club. All shooting was at bluerocks, 

 from 3 traps, unknown angles, A. S. A. rules. The shooting was very 

 hard owing to the sun shining on the snow, making it hard to see a 

 low-flying target. Targets were thrown 60 to 70yds. and low. The 

 average was 80 6 „ 3 $, which we think is good considering the difficult 

 shooting. Scores:

Vernon Rod and Gun Club. 



The cold weather of Monday, Feb. 26, was too much for the mem- 

 bers of the Vernon Rod and Gun Club, and the consequence was that 

 only three members put in an appearance at Dexter Park, to partici- 

 pate in the regular club shoot. An informal shoot of 7 birds was in- 

 dulged in by the three hardy shooters, which satisfied their ambition 

 for pigeon shooting under Arctic weather conditions:

A. H. B , Norfolk, Va.— 1. Will a 30in. barrel, 10-bore gun, foreign 

 make, both barrels full choked for canvasback duck shooting, give as 

 good results wilh black powder as a 32in. barrel? 2. Should a barrel 

 be longer for black powder than nitros? 3. If so, how much? 4. How 

 much less should a gun weigh for nitro powder than for black? 5. 

 AVhat should be the length of barrel and weight of an ideal 10-bore 

 ducking gun for nitro powder exclusively? 6. What is the best length 

 of barrel for an 8-bore. singlebarrel gun for long-distance shooting, 

 34, 36, 38, 40 or 42in , for black powder, and the least such a gun should 

 weigh? Ans. 1. No. 2. Yes. 3 and 4. We cannot give any definite 

 rules for length and weight. Black powders, as a rule, require a 

 longer barrel than nitros to thoroughly burn the charge. The recoU 

 is less iu shooting nitros, and if this only was taken into consideration 

 a lighter gun might be used; but as the bursting strain is greater, a 

 stronger gun is required. 5. 30 or 32in , SJ/g to 9}^lbs, 6. The maxi- 

 mum length depends on the shooter's ability to handle the gun; 36in. 

 is sufficient. The gun should weigh from 13 to 151ba.
