 of the members, Mr. Herrington, was shooting the new government, 

 smokeless powder (Leonard) in his Ballard rifle, .38-55 He reports the 

 actions of the powder as highly satisfactory. 



Now that the manufacturers of nitros are spreading their circulars 

 of information through the country we may expect to hear more of 

 these explosives and their work in the rifle. We would caution all 

 riflemen using nitros in the rifle to adhere to the instructions given by 

 the manufacturer, otherwise they may find themselves in a dilemma. 



A Beries of home and home matches on the outdoor range is 

 reported to be on betweon teams from the Port Chester (N. Y.) Rifle 

 Club and the Greenville (N. J.) Rifle Club.

Intercollegiate Championship. 



A southerly wind and a cloudy sky ushered in Saturday, June 9, ' 

 the day of the intercollegiate trap shooting con' est, held this year at 

 Princeton. This event is of annual occurrence and calls for teams 

 from each university, but from some unexplaine 1 cause only the Yale 

 and Princeton teams materialized. The conditions are 5 men each 

 team, 30 targets per man, from three screened traps, unknown traps, 

 16yds. rise, one man up, 5 shots and out, teams alternating at the 

 Bcore. 



The pleasantest possible feeling existed throughout the contest be- 

 tween the teams and their adherents among the large audience pres- 

 ent. None of the offensive partisanship so often shown in college 

 athletics was manifested, and a good string of shots on either side 

 elicited hearty applause alike from wearers of blue and oraDge. 



Never was the quiet, gentlemanly art of trap-shooting and kindly 

 feeling of true sportsmanship, as opposed to the hurly-burly of foot- 

 ball and often disgraceful hue and cry of baseball more fittingly 

 shown. 



The shooting of the home team was of the highest order and broke 

 the intercollegiate record by one bird. The scores at the finish were 

 bunched like a pack of thoroughbred foxhounds on a hot trail, 34, 25, 

 26. 27 and 28. 



The Yale team were heavily handicapped by having done their 

 preparatory practice at three traps placed close together (instead of 

 regulation 5yds. apart) and hence as a rule showed some slowness in 

 finding their quartering birds. But they shot a gallant race, the work 

 of Mr, Franklin being especially fine.

Trenton-Princeton Shoot. 



Princeton, N. J.— Editor Forest and Stream: I beg leave, in 

 behalf of my team, to point out two or three shrewd mixtures of 

 truth and blank fiction in "An Onlooker's" article, in your issue of 

 J une 2. He says: "A Princeton man pulled the traps, and every time 

 a Tiger pointed his gun over a certain trap, luck (?) would favor him 

 and he would get that trap. " Every trap shooter knows that with the 

 "one man up, 5 unknown trap" rule, there are some birds easier than 

 others; ditto, that nothing rattles a raw amateur like missing his first 

 bird, or helps him like an easy bird and a clean break for a starter. 

 The fact that the "Princeton man" pulled No. 3 (the straightaway) 

 first 17 out of 18 times for the Trenton team, and but twice for Prince- 

 ton, speaks for itself. 



Now, as to the traps at Trenton being "set as near the rules as pos- 

 sible," let me say that to the best of ray knowledge and belief the 

 hirds at Trenton, with scarce a breath of air to give excuse for varia- 

 tions in flight, were thrown as follows: No. 1, very swift, crossed the 

 straightaway line less than 5vds. from No. 3. No. 2 threw a nearly 

 straightaway bird at an elevation of fully 25ft. at 10yds from that 

 trap. No. 3, instead of a straightaway, was about 10ft. out of line at 

 20 or 25yds. from trap. No. 4 was as much too sharp to the right as 

 No. 1. No. 5 threw a slow, duffer bird that varied from an actual 

 straightaway (which it threw three times during the match), to one 

 that crossed the flight of No. 3 not less than 25yds. out. 



And now for the man who "stopped the race while he shot five shells 

 in practice." In the interim between the "known trap, rapid-fire," 

 and "unknown trap, one man up," a member of the Trenton team 

 availed himself of the opportunity to take a 5-bird practice. Your 

 correspondent, thinking this was "Trenton rules," followed his 

 example. 



Finally, if "the Princeton men 'had it all their own way'," it was 

 because they fairly won their way. E. L. Tiffany, M.D., 



Captain Princeton Gun Club. 



San Antonio Gun Club. 



The San Antonio Gun Club held its regular weekly trophy shoot at 

 their grounds at Lakeview on June 3. Twenty-three members turned 

 out. 



Fifteen singles: Rothwell 12, Paris 13, Tendick 12. Cann 8, Learn 7, 

 McCormick 10, Thiele 10. Veith 12. Phillips 10, Epstein 13, Smith 10, 

 Biesenbach 10. France 14, Samuels 12, Frank 11 



The next shoot was the trophy shoot at 20 singles, unknown angles, 

 and 5 pairs: France 23, McCormick 16, Samuels 19, Thiele 23, Tendick 

 22 Rothwell 20, Epstein 17, Smith 17. Frank 17, Adams 18. Phillips 19, 

 Veith 19, Shields 31, Cann 8. Learn 17, ftrossmann 18, Volbrecht 18, 

 Paris 24, Black 33, Simpson 15, Biesenbach 32, Epp 17, O. C. Smith 14. 

 In the second class Grossmann, Volbrecht and Adams tied on 18. In 

 the first shoot off Adams dropped out and Grossmann and Volbrecht 

 tied again. This left the two side partners in the race and in the next 

 shoot off Volbrecht was declared the winner. 



Shoot No. 3 was a team shoot at 15 singles, McCormack and Thiele 

 choosing sides. It was a close shoot and resulted as follows: Mc- 

 Cormack 13, Paris 9, Veith 13, Grossman 12, Shields 9, Frank 10, G- C. 

 Smith 5, Cann 4; total 86. Thiele 14, France 11, Phillips 7, Tendick 11, 

 Epstein 9, Volbrecht 10, Adams 7, Learn 10, Simpson 10; total, 89. 

 Thiele's side won by three birds. 



The closing shoot was a match shoot, same sides, and was also a 

 jvery close and exciting contest. The scores were as follows: Mc- 

 Cormack 18, Paris 11, Veith 9, Biesenbach 13, Grossmann 11, Frank 6, 

 Smith 6, Cann 6, Epp 11; total, 86. Thiele 12, France 11, Phillips 8, 

 Tendick 11, Epstein 10, Volbrecht 10, Adams 9, Learn 6 Simpson 10; 

 Total, 87. Thiele's team beating by one bird. 



Trap at San Antonio. 



By far the finest trap-shooting ever seen in San Antonio was made 

 by A. B. Critzer, of the Powder Hill Gun Club, on June 3, at the West 

 End shooting grounds, in which that gentleman made a clean -score 

 at 30 singles and 5 pairs. True it is that the Hon. Joseph Morgan 

 George once broke 100 straight, but considering the conditions under 

 which both scores were made that of Critzer deserves the most credit, 

 for the reason that he shot from unknown traps, and owing to the 

 bad working of traps No. 1 and 3 he bad practically unknown angles; 

 then his last ten birds were doubles. Mr. George's score of 100 

 straight, a magnificent one under any conditions, was made at known 

 traps and angles under the rapid-firing system. Yesterday's shoot 

 ended by Critzer winning the club medal three times in succession, it 

 thus becoming his personal property; but with characteristic 

 generosity he donated the same to the club, warning them, however, 

 that should he succeed in winning it again it would go way down deep 

 in his pocket and remain there. Vernor's score of 36, or 90& ordinarily 

 a winning score almost anywhere, was very good considering that
