The New York Rifle Club held its second practice shoot in Armbrus- 

 ter's Park, Greenville, on Saturday of last -week. The weather was 

 warm and cloudy, with a strong southwest wind. Light showers in 

 the latter part of tho afternoon interfered somewhat with the rifle- 

 men. Dr. Chadbourne, with his lit tie .25-15 Stevens, made the highscore 

 of the day; Major Shorkley, with the aid of his .25-20 Remington, was 

 second with 88. On the German ring target, three shots per man only, 

 Isbell was high with the fine score of 73 out of a possible 75. Gensch 

 and Moss tied for second place with 67 each. Scores, 10 shotB, stand-

Conlim-s Target Show. 



Manhattan Athletic Club, New York, May 21.— Editor Forest and 

 Stream: I beg to inform you that I have just received from Sir Henry 

 Halfnrd, the distinguished English rifleman, some of the best scores 

 of rifle shooting lately made in Great Britain. I also have the latest 

 scores of the champion revolver shot of England, Mr. Walter Winans, 

 - together with photographs of many of the European champions. A 

 collection has also been received by me from the celebrated gallery of 

 Monsieur Gaston Eennette, 39 Avenue d'Autin, Champs Elysees, Paris, 

 showing the most remarkable revolver shooting made in the late 

 great match for the championship of France. I have the pleasure to 

 invite your readers, whom I know to be interested in rifle and pistol 

 shooting, to visit my gallery and inspect them. Jas. S. Conun. 



Greenville Rifle Club. 



Fifteen members of the Greenville Club were present on Friday 

 night, to participate in the handicap class shoot. W. C. Collins with

RIFLE NOTES. 



Sixteen members of the New York Rifle Club visited Armbruster's 

 Park, Greenville, N. J., on Decoration Day, and held an all day shoot. 

 The weather was mild and pleasant and some good scores were made, 

 the scores will be found in another column. 



On Saturday of last week, at the weekly shoot of the New York 

 Rifle Club, Major Shorkley made a run of 21 8in. bulls, shooting 

 off-hand. The Major shoots a .25-20 Remington rifle, with telescope 

 attachment. When one considers the age of this old veteran, his 

 shooting is somewhat remarkable. 



On Wednesday of last week, on the Greenville range, Plaisted made 

 the following run of 25 shots on the Standard target, off-hand, with 

 Ballard .38-55, using the 255 patched bullet and powder charge as fol- 

 lows: 6grs. Leonard nitro, and 42grs. Hazard F. G. The third and 

 twenty- third shots were the fault of bid holding. Score: 



896 10 9 10 88999 10 898 10 998 8 10 9 5 9 10=217 

 Average 8.6. This score was followed by a 10-shot score upon the 

 German ring target, same conditions, with the following result: 

 24 22 20 25 25 23 23 22 23 20=227 



Three members of the Greenville Rifle Club visited Armbruster's 

 Park on Saturday afternoon of last week and participated in off-hand 

 practice. Their scores are appended: 



C Boag 21 16 16 24 22 23 25 21 21 24—213 



C Seheeline 16 22 18 21 16 18 21 24 16 24-196 



JSpahn 23 12 23 17 23 18 24 20 21 18-189 



The Columbia Schiitzen Corps will hold its annual festival and prize 

 shoot in Cypress Hill Park, June 10-11. Fifteen cash prizes ranging 

 from $20 to $2 will be put up for the competing marksmen. 



The New York Behuetzen Corps has sent out its programme for the 

 thirty-seventh annual festival and prize shoot, which takes place in 

 Union Hill Park, 3 une 20 and 21. Five hundred dollars in cash prizes 

 and premiums will be offered for the experts to compete for. 



Barney Zettler tried the combination charge of nitro and black 

 powder in his rifle last week, but he neglected to temper his bullets to 

 the proper hardness necessary for the load, and the result was a much 

 leaded barrel. With a little further experience he will reach satis- 

 factory results, i ' 



tShaating. 



All ties divided unless otherwise reported.

Trophy Scores of Garfield Gun Club. 



Chicago, May 29.— Editor Forest and Stream: The Garfield Gun 

 Club has held four regular shoots this season, one on each Saturday 

 in May, but only one score has appeared in your columns, and that 

 was somewhat disfigured by beiug telescoped with the copy sent you 

 by our friend Goodrich, secretary of the Eureka Gun Club. Goodrich 

 evidently feels '•hat the disfiguration was the other way, as I see that 

 he is sitting up nights to get his report in a week earlier than we can 

 possibly do, to avoid accidents. If it had been any other club's scores 

 we should have put on our war paint and run down and scalped the 

 devil in your composing room who mixed up the forms; but they 

 shoot fairly well, passably so (beat us twice last year, but keep it 

 dark), and after a little more practice will be able to travel in good 

 company, and then we'll not care so much if the scores are mixed. 



The Oarfield Gun Club is divided into three classes, A, B and C, and 

 a trophy is swarded each month to that member in each class who 

 in? kes the highest percentage in his three best scores. The trophy 

 contest is shot every Saturday afternoon on the club grounds, at 25 

 blueroeks, known trap, unknown angles. The winners are barred for 

 the succeeding two months, so as to insure a better distribution of the 

 trophies, which are the same for each of the classes. For the May 

 contest there were given three genuine sole leather gun cases of latest 

 design, fitted with lock and key, pockets, etc. The contestants do not 

 know what the trophies are to be until the final shoot, so that the 

 element of surprise is added to the pleasure of victory. As we have 

 been neglectful of our duty in forwarding scores on time, we will not 

 send them now as they are somewhat stale and musty, but inclose 

 instead the following tabulated statement of our May trophy shoots:

Calumet Heights Gun Club. 



Mr. G. C. Lamphere, secretary of the Calumet Heights Gun Club, 

 writes me as fodows, concerning club matters: "The recent storms 

 have prevented the usual number coming down to our club over Sun- 

 day. Still our .average attendance is about thirty-five weekly, which 

 number will increase largely when the weather gets settled. 



"A fine view of last week's storm was had from our club house, as 

 we are located on the extreme southern end of Lake Michigan. 



"The three-masted schooner H. B. Moore, which was driven ashore 

 during Friday night, has been abandoned and given to our manager, 

 Mr. H. W. S'tarr. She lies about 500yds. west of the club house. As 

 the storm destroyed our five traps, trap stand, etc., our weekly con- 

 test for the diamond trophies could not take place last week, and in 

 order to make up for the loss of the shoot we repaired our traps and 

 shot two contests this week. Both matches were shot in the teeth of 

 a gale of wind, blowing 30 or 40 miles per hour." 



The club's lease of the property is considered good for ten years 

 longer. Their shooting events are popular and enjoyable. 



Following is the score of May 17:

Fargo Gun Club. 



Fargo, N D., June 1— Inclosed find the scores as made on Decora- 

 tion Day by the Fargo Gun Club. The Lyon-Carpenter event was 

 close from start to finish The score when 10 targets had been shot 

 placed Carpenter one in the lead. The next 10 evened the scores. 

 Lyon gained one on the last 10 and won the match. It is probable that 

 a match will be arranged between the same parties again. Mr. Rob- 

 bins chose Mr. Lyon, and they will shoot a match against any other 

 two trap shooters, residents of North Dakota, They will not have to 

 wait long for a match, as several members of the Fargo Gun Club are 

 anxious to shoot against the team 



The complete scores are as follows: 



No. 1, 10 singles, known traps: : Carpenter 8, Lyon 8, Robbins 7, Akin 

 7, Ercanbrack 9, Roberts 9, Schofield 2. 

 No. 2, 5 pairs: Carpenter 8, Lyon 8, Robbins 8, Akin 5, Ercanbrack 9, 

 No. 3, special match, Lyon vs. Carpenter, 30 targets, 10 singles,

Scores at Kearneysville. 



Kearnetsville, W. Va.— The shoot recently held here was a grand 

 success. It demonstrates clearly that Mr. W. H. Kearfott, who man- 

 aged it, understands how to get up a shoot. There was not a hitch in 

 the management or even one contention which is so often seen at. 

 shooting tournaments. The shooters "ere all of one accord in voting 

 Mr. Kearfott their thanks for his kind and hospitable treatment. 

 There were fully one hundred shooters present. The Winchester and 

 Harper's Ferry'boys seem to have it all their own way. They should 

 have been handicapped as they are professional shooters without a 

 doubt. The great success which attended the shoot caused the shoot- 

 ers to insist upon Mr. Kearfott holding another one some time this 

 summer, which he has decided to do about the first of August, which 

 will be an all-day shoot. Shoot No. 1 at 25 single Keystone targets:

No Mayor's Address at Utica. 



"There will not be one thousand shooters in attendance, neither 

 will there be a special train, nor an address of welcome from the 

 mayor of the city, but in the place of the same there will be the usual 

 jolly crowd of sportsmen, to whom will be extended the fraternal 

 greeting that the old Oneida County Sportsmen's Association knows 

 so well how to extend. Come and see us, one and all." So wrote 

 Messrs. A. S. Hunter, H. L. Gates and John Cummings, Jr., executive 

 committee of the New York State shoot at Utica next week, under the 

 auspices of the Oneida Association. 



The shooting will be at Riverside Park, Ave minutes' walk from 

 Bagg's and the St. James hotels, beginning at 8 A. M., June 11. The 

 annual meeting will be held Monday, June 11, at 8 o'clock in the even- 

 ing, in the parlors of Bagg's Hotel. The association headquarters will 

 be at Bagg's Hotel. 



Arrangements have been made for reduced railroad fare. When 

 purchasing tickets, visitors should be careful to ask the ticket agent 

 for a certificate. 



The Oneida County Sportsmen's Association have aimed to present 

 a programme not too lavish in its outlay of cash, yet one that will be 

 satisfactory to the trap-shooters of the Empire State. The pro- 

 gramme for the State events is of a character to attract the shooters 

 of this State, the sweepstake events are wide open without handicap, 

 and will attract many shooters from without the State of New York. 

 We have the finest target grounds in the world, bar none; there are 

 no long and tiresome street car and 'bus rides, but a veritable shoot- 

 ers' paradise at your hotel door. 



We shall have four sets of expert bluerock traps with electric pulls 

 located as near to each other as possible; this prevents the shooters 

 being scattered Two sets of these traps will be devoted to regular 

 State events and two sets to sweepstakes; only one regular event will 

 be permitted at a time, and only one sweepstake event at a time. By 

 a system new at this shoot, a shooter will make his entries so that by 

 no possibility will he be called for in two places at the same time. 



The regular event traps will be set for ordinary flights, while the 

 sweepstake traps will be set to throw as heard as possible The shoot- 

 ers who participate in our sweepstake events will never be heard to 

 complain of "duffer birds." 



Champions of the World. 



A friend sends a news clipping, showing in the same column the fol- 

 lowing reports of matches: 



"Dayton, O., May 28.— J. A. R. Elliott, of Kansas City, champion live 

 bird shot of the world, and Rolla O. Heikes, of this citv, who holds the 

 same distinction of the clay pigeon traps, indulged in a 100 live bird 

 contest this afternoon at the base ball park for the world's champion- 

 ship and $100 a side. The race was closely contested throughout and 

 resulted in a victory for Elliott by a score of 96 to 90.'" 



Of course, this makes Mr. Elliott champion of the world some more. 

 But what is he going to say to this"? 



"Richmond, Va., May 28. — The second of a series of pigeon shooting 

 matches took place here to-day between William Tell Mitchell, of Vir- 

 ginia, and E. D. Fulford, of New York, for the championship of the 

 world, 100 birds and §250 a side. As on the occasion of the first con- 

 test, Fulford won, killing 48 birds in fifty shoots, against 47 by Mitchell. 

 This ends the contest." 



No, it doesn't end the contest of championships. My friend says: 

 "Suppose there were a sufficiency of world's championship contests 

 arranged for the 28th, and the press representative of Interstate — 

 Prairie Gun Club symposium got left." ' 



There are champions, and champions, and then ag'in champions. 

 Let the merry war go on. We'll every one be champions, by-and by.

For the Juvenile Championship. 



Following is a copy of a letter addressed to Mr. Ed. Bingham, one 

 of the celebrated trap shots of Montgomery Ward & Co.'s staff. It 

 will prove interesting to all boys who aspire to competitive honors. 

 It, too, contains a very generous admission on the part of Mr. Bisson, 

 as his son Master Alfred won the event to which he refers. 



B. Waters. 



Chicago, May 24.— Dear Sir: As your protege, Master Charles Burr, 

 is undoubtedly the best trap shot of the three boys who contested for 

 the juvenile medal at the Interstate Manufacturers' and Dealers' Asso- 

 ciation's tournament, in fairness to him, I will make a proposition for 

 another contest for the juvenile championship of the United States 

 under sixteen years of age, the match to be at 50 targets, known traps 

 and angles, price of entrance $5, targets to be paid by each contestant, 

 10-gauge guns barred. 



All entrance money to go towards the purchase of a solid gold medal, 

 said medal to be contested for three times before it becomes personal 

 property. Any lad challenging holder of medal to deposit the amount 

 of cost of medal. C. H. Bisson. 



Close Shooting at RivertonJ 



Philadelphia, June 4.— The shooting match between R. A. Welch 

 and Fred. Hoey for the Riverton Challenge Plate, which took place 

 to-day at Riverton, resulted in a close race, won by Welch by 1 bird, 

 the score being 91 to 90. It was not a particularly good day for shoot- 

 ing, as the heat had made the birds listless, and they did not rise well 

 when the traps were sprung:
