FOREST AND STREAM. 
(March 1, 1896 
Records of Hartford Shooters for 189S. 
The secretary of the Golt Gun Club, of Hartford, Conn., Mr. M. F. 
Cook, has compiled very carefully a tabulated statement of the per- 
formance of his fellow club members during the season of 1895. The 
table, which unfortunately we are not able to give in full owing to the 
Eressure on our trap columns, shows each man's score at every shoot 
e attended; it also shows the handicap allowances or deductions. 
The following table, however, gives the general averages for the year: 
The scores made in to-day's shoot were as follows:

In regard to the programme carried out during 1895 Mr. Cook adds 
some explanatory remarks, showing just how the club runs its prize 
competitions, which we give below, as we think many secretaries and 
others interested in furthering their clubs 1 welfare will be glad to 
read to examine the system: 
"The club had a series of twenty-four shoots, having one shoot 
every two weeks, for which the club donates §85 in cash, divided as 
follows: $6 for best attendance, $4 for second best; $6 for ten best 
scores without handicap, $4 for second best. The remaining $65 to be 
shot for with a handicap divided into six prizes. The handicap is on 
the basis of 18. To the poorer shooters broken targets are allowed to 
be added to their scores; to the better shooters targets are deducted 
from their scores, and if their scores made are good enough after 
taking off their handicap not to go below 18, they have perfect scores. 
If the poorer shots break enough with their handicap added to make 
18 or better, they also have perfect scores. It is necessary for any 
shooter to compete ten times out of the twenty-four shoots to qualify 
for any of the prizes. For the merchandise prizes any shooter that 
qualifies has an equal chance, as they are drawn by lot." 
At the annual distribution of prizes the cash prizes were distributed 
as follows: J. Pitkin got $6 for best ten scores; F. Bishop, $4 for sec- 
ond best ten scores; C. Bailey, $6 for best attendance; J. Pitkin, $4 for 
second best attendance; M. F. Cook, $11 for ten best scores with handi- 
cap; C. Bailey, $11; J. Pitkin, $11; A. Bailey, $11; F. Bishop, $11; A. 
Bailey, $11. 
Twenty-three members qualified for the merchandise prizes, the 
necessary qualification being attendance at ten out of the twenty-four 
Shoots. Tbe names of the lucky 23 will be found in the table given 
above, being the first 23 men on the list, C. Bailey leading wich an 
attendance record of 23 out of 24. 
New Haven Gun Club. 
New Haven, Conn., Feb. The New Haven Gun Club held an all- 
day shoot to-day with about 30 shooters on hand. Some good shooting 
was done, although some of the boys seemed to find lots of space on 
both sides of the targets. Uncle Edgarton, of Willimantic, had a new 
kind of gun with two barrels and three holes, and even then he 
couldn't seem to get them all. Old man Sherman and his pump didn't 
seem to agree with each other as to the proper way to hold the handle. 
Deacon Potter plodded right along in his usual manner, and got there 
most of the ume. Scores:

The Eurekas' Annual Gathering. 
Chicago, 111., Feb. 22.— The usual Washington's Birthday shoot took 
place to-day, only it was not usual, but very unusual in the large at- 
tendance that gathered in the afternoon to take a fall out of the 
festive empires. 
The wind was strong and chilly, and made all sorts of angles. All 
shooting was at unknown angles, traps changed every shot, birds 
thrown hard and swift. These grounds are justly celebrated as being 
one of the hardest to make a good score on; the fast, keyed-up traps 
and perfect arrangements generally all no doubt contribute. 
After a jolly time before the traps, where all sorts of sweepstakes 
for cash, watches, etc., were shot, the club adjourned to the Leland 
Hotel for the annual meeting and banquet. After discussing the ele- 
gant menu, cigars were lighted, the glasses filled, and with Patty 
fwho does not know Patty) as toast master, the speeches began. Be- 
fore this Secretary DeWolf distributed some elegant souvenirs of the 
occasion, in the shape of hand-painted satin badges, the product of 
his wife, who enjoys considerable reputation as an artist on game 
dogs and horses. If Mrs. DeWolf could have heard the praises the 
badges brought forth, she doubtless would have been overcome by 
them; it was particularly laughable when Secretary DeWolf was duly 
ordered to write the resolutions adopted, and "forward them by mail 
providing he could obtain the lady's address," and cautioned "not to 
slight them either." 
Patty addressed himself to the subject of "Women as Shooters " 
and called on Fred. Gilbert, the Iowa shooter, who responded with 'a 
talk on "Pigeon Shooting." Mr. DeWolf spoke on "Trap-Shooting in 
the Western States." W. O. Morgan appeared in "What I Know 
About Watches" (he won the watch in the shoot this afternoon). O 
von Lengerke spoke on the "Trap-Shooters' League." Chas. Grimm, 
of Clear Lake, la., and S. A. Tucker, the only Tuck, of Parker gun 
fame, were bashful and could not be prevailed upon to speak. Covers 
were laid for twenty-five. 
The secretary's report showed the club membership to be full and 
several on the waiting list. It also showed no debts and a balance in 
the treasury, and that the club had not lost a contest during the 
year. & 
The election of officers resulted in the choice of the following to 
serve for the next twelve months: President, John T. Glover- Vice- 
President, W. A. Jones; Secretary, W F. DeWolf; Treasurer, O J 
Buck; Captain, F. P. Stannard; Board of Directors, W. O. Morgan, Dr 
O. W. Carson, J. L. Jones, Oswald von Lengerke and Eddie Bingham • 
Classification Committee— John T. Glover, W, F. DeWolf and F P 
Stannard; Trophy Committee— W. D. Stannard, A, O. Patterson and O* 
von Lengerke.

The Braden-Canon Match. 
Through the kindness of Mr. J. G. Messner, of Pittsburg, Pa., who 
acted in conjunction with H. W. Nair as official scorer at the Braden- 
Canon match at Beaver Falls, Pa., on Feb, 22, we are able to give the 
score in full of this unique match. The quality of the birds is well 
shown by the trap score type. Scores:

No notice taken of anonymous communications 
R. W. J. K., Ithaca, N, Y. — The date should be 1883, 
M. T., Tacoma, Wash, — Write to F. Nichols, 325 Division avenue, 
Brooklyn, N. Y. 
E. W. L., Grafton, N. D.— "Small Yachts," price $10, will give you 
the information you ask for. 
H. E. R., Beaver Bay, Minn.— We know of no special type of 
schooner such as you ask for. 
L. N., New York.— The address of the Fisheries, Game and Forest 
Commission is Albany, N. Y. 
M. H, Rochester, N. Y.— Kindly advise me when the trout fishing 1 
opens under the game laws of Pennsylvania. Ans. April 15. 
Old Drive, Hoosick, N. Y.— Can any of your numerous correspond- 
ents inform me as to the effectiveness of the .88-40 cartridge on black 
bear provided there is a good shot using it? Ans. The cartridge will 
do if the rifle is properly held. 
A. B. J., Orion, HI.— 1. Is there any difference in the shooting qual- 
ities between twist and laminated or Damascus barrels? 2. In what 
particular are the Damascus superior? Ans. 1. No; except that the 
latteriwill hold the choke longer. 2. Damascus barrels wear better than 
twist. 
E. H. H., Jewett City, Conn.— If you own the boat and wish to keep 
her in good condition, we would advise you to protect her from both 
Bnow and sun. If the boat belongs to another and you wish the job of 
repairing her in the spring, it will be well to expose her as much as 
possible to the weather. 
C. H. C —We have repeatedly published all the information you ask 
for. The 15-footers are allowed spinakers equal to 40 per cent, of 1 
mainsail and windward jib, with no limitation to spinaker boom. The 
ballast is placed so as to trim the boat fairly, neither by the head nor 1 
stern, at the discretion of the measurer. 
C. N. R., Hartford, Conn.— Can the Boston terriers properly be 1 
called mongrels? Webster seems to support the mongrel status. 1 
Ans. No. They are now recognized as a pure breed. If the history 
of any breed is investigated a point will be reached where pure 
breed origin is doubtful. Webster is not an accurate authority on 
dogs. 
F, L. C, Pottsville, Pa — Will you be kind enough to inform me 
which man requires the greater drop in the stock of his gun— the man 
with a long neck or the man with a short neck— and why? Ans. The 
man with the long neck as a rule requires the greater drop in the 
stock of his gun— with a straight stocked gun he has to crane his neck 
more to sight than a short-necked man.

Where to Find Game. 
Where to find game is oftentimes a perplexing question. The 
sportsman who strikes a good spot generally keeps the information 
as close as possible, in order to enjoy the exclusive privileges. 
Along the line of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in Virginia and 
West Virginia, such places are numerous, and it is remarkable how 
little they are known. The mountain streams abound in gamy fish. 
The South Branch of the Potomac is considered the best black bass 
fishing stream in America; the Cheat, Youghiogheny, Potomac and 
Monongahela rivers are all excellent fishing streams. The hills and 
valleys adjacent are fairly alive with game— partridge, wild turkey, 
grouse, pheasant, wild pigeon, quail, rabbit and squirrel are plentiful, 
and in the back country thirty or forty miles from the railroad deer 
and bear can be found 
Good hotels are convenient, and horses and guides can be secured 
at reasonable rates. 
For circular showing fishing and gunning resorts reached bv the B 
& O. R. R. address Chas. O. Scull, Gen'l Pass. Agent, B. & b. R. R„

Leaves New York daily at 3:20 P. M. via Pennsylvania & Southern 
Railway, "Piedmont Air Line." The shore line between New York and

composed of Pullman most modern observation, library, compartment 
sleeping cars, also dining cars, and runs solid between New York and 
St. Augustine; also carrying Pullman drawing-room sleeping cars be- 
tween New York and Tampa and Augusta. The New York & Florida 
Short Line, since its completion, has done a great deal for Florida; the 
time has been much shortened, and the facilities now for reaching the 
South are all that can be asked for. Those going to Florida cannot 
find a more delightful route than via the picturesque Piedmont Air 
Line. And be sure and take a side trip to the glorious mountains of 
western North Carolina, easily and quickly reached by the New York 
& Florida t Short Line, Limited.— Nero York Recorder, Feb. 25, 1806.-
