FOREST AND STRE 
Boston Shooting Association. 
Boston, Mags., April 24.— The spring tournament of the Boston 
Shooting Association was attended with every success generally inci- 
dent to such meetings of this organization. Of course the shooting 
was under the direction of Orrin R. Dickey, the club's manager, who 
kept things running every day with the smoothness of clockwork. 
The creature comforts of the shooters were looked after by Caterer 
Dill, who provided the usual Boston Shooting Association dinner— tbat 
means a great deal. 
During the three days of this shoot there was some excellent work 
done by the shooters. Miskay, of the Boston Gun Club, who is prob- 
ably as good a shot at targets as any lady in the world, and who 
can beat pretty nearly every male member of her club, was present on 
the second day and did some very good work, although it was not per- 
haps up to her usual standard. The scores of each day are given in 
order below:

The Newburgh Tournament. 
The West Newburgh Gun and Rifle Association's tournament of 
April 30-May 2 was, as usual, an enjoyable affair. The weather on 
the first two days was perfect in every respect for target shooting, 
the light being good, the air warm and the sky bright and clear. The 
background, too, at the club's grounds is excellent, and had it not 
been for the fact that the targets were thrown far and fast there 
would have been some very high scoring. 
Of cou-se David Brown, the president of the club, acted as cashier; 
John B. Rogers was squad hustler, while the other club members de- 
voted themselves, as they invariably do, to looking after the comfort 
of their guests. As regards the first day we cannot say anything, not 
being on hand ourselves until May 1. On that day, however, it was 
well worth the trip from New York to Newburgh to sniff the fresh 
breezes that came directly off the Fishkill mountains on the far side 
of the Hudson River, while the view from the grounds of the club is 
as beautiful as any in the country. The West Newburgh Gun and 
Rifle Association is a very fortunate organization in the matter of lo- 
cation of its grounds. 
GOOD AND PAST COMPANY. 
The list of those who were present will show that there was some 
very warm company at the shoot: Neaf Apgar and Dutchy Smith, of 
Plainfleld, N. J. ; John T. Mascroft and V. D. Kenerson, of Worcester, 
Mass. ; E. D. Fulford, Utica, N. Y. ; R. Hunter, Syracuse, N. Y. ; Sim 
Glover, Rochester, N. Y. ; B. A. Bartiett, Lakewood, N. Y. ; H. M. 
Levengston, Saratoga, N. Y. ; H. G. Wheeler, Marlboro', Mass.; Justus 
von Lengerke, New York; J.B.Sanders and Arnold, Albany, N. Y, ; 
J. A. Ogden, Warwick, N. Y.; Perkinp, Trov, N. Y.; Dowd, from Long 
Island; Drs. Horton and Mason, and Jack Halsted and H. P. Dain, all 
from the Peekskill Gun Club; Captain A. W. Money, Oakland, N. J., 
etc., etc. The home club was well represented, Doc. Stanbrough's 
score of 19 out of 20 (10 pairs) on the second day being quite sufficient 
of itself to show aDy strangers that might be present tbat the West 
Newburgh Gun and Rifle Association numbers some warm tamales 
among its members. 
The club added $50 as average money to be divided into five moneys 
—$15, $12, $10, $8 and $5— the same to go to those making the best 
averages in the programme events on the first two days. As shown 
by the tables of scores given below, there were 23 shooters present on 
the first day, of whom 10 shot in every event on the programme. On 
the second day there were 25 shooterB present, 11 shooting in the pro- 
gramme events. 
Of those who shot through the programme on the first day, that Is, 
the first 10 events in the table below, were the following, with the 
number broken out of 200 shot at: 
Bartlett 183, Fulford 181, Glover 180, Hunter 178, Apgar 174, Leveng- 
ston 173, Wheeler 172, Taylor 163, Dutchy 162, Kenerson 140.

SCORES OF THE THIRD DAY. 
The third day was taken up with live-bird events. About fifteen 
shooters took part in the various sweeps, Fulford doing the best work, 
scoring 41 out of 42, as shown by the scores .given below. One or two 
sweeps were shot in addition to those referred to, but the copies we 
received were so illegible that it was impossible to decipher them with 
any degree of accuracy. Scores: 
The Limited Gun Club's Programme. 
The programme for the Limited Gun Club's tournament, May 26-28, 
is modeled specially for amateurs. The classification of experts and 
amateurs is not explained, but we suppose that known 90 per cent, 
men will be the experts, the balance shooting as amateurs ; or, it may 
be that all manufacturers' agents will be classed among the experts, 
regardless of their capabilities as shooters. The following from the 
programme describes how the classflcation will be worked: 
"Shooters will be classified as they enter, and will be shiftPd only 
when it is clear that they are out of their class. Class A will shoot 
from traps pulled in reversed order— 1 and 5 throwing known angles, 
and 2, 3 and 4 unknown angles. Class B will shoot known angles from 
traps pulled in regular order." 
The programme for each day is the same: ten 15-target events, $2 en- 
trance; targets at 2 cents each. All purses will be divided into four 
moneys, but not on the usual basis; the proportions are 35, 30, 20 and 
15 per cent. This means that the poorer shots are to be protected as 
far as possible.

Missoula Rod and Gun 7 Club. 
Missoula, Montana, April 26.— The scores of the shooters of the : 
Missoula Rod and Gun Club made to day in the medal shoot would 
indicate that they are improving rapidly backward However, the 
medal shoot is only a part of the sport, and the practice work, both 
before and after the medal contest, showed that the boys could shoot 
all right except at such times as they really ought to do their best. 
Thus far this season the gold medal has changed hands every week, 
and no one person has worn it the aecondtime. 
W. P. Brayton will wear it for a week as a result of his score of 18. 
F. H. Allinson secured the silver medal on a score of 11. Conditions: 
20 targets, unknown angles:

F. W., New York.— 1. Can you tell me of any place in New York or 
near by where I can give an imported German dachshund board and 
training? 2. Is it allowed in this year to hunt deer on Long Island or 
8 this an off year? Ans. 1. We cannot inform you In respect to train- 
ing. See our business columns in respect to boarding. 2, Deer may 
ba hunted on Long Island this year every Wednesday in November. 
H. B. S., Williamsburg, Va> — Will the Forest and Stream be kind 1 
enough to inform me if there is a bird of the heron family whose 
breast feathers emit at night a phosphorescent light? Ans. The 
heron's "lantern" has been much written of, and it is popularly be- 
lieved that the "powder down tract" of feathers on the breast emit a 
phosphorescent ligrht which either enables the bird to see its prey at 
night or attracts the prey to the water's surface. The great blue 
heron, bittern and night herons are supposed to carry this lantern. 
J. C. B., Nevada, la.— I have a Colt's .44-40 repeating rifle, lever 
action The gun is in excellent condition, but does not take as heavy : 
a powder charge as I would like to use. As I intend taking a deer * 
hunt in northern Minnesota next November, I have been seriously 
thinking of trying Du Pont's smokeleBS rifle powder in hopes of in- 
creasing the range and penetration of the gun. If I do use nitro 
powder I should like to commence using it soon at the target in order 
to become thoroughly acquainted with the new load before using it 
on game. I write to know the advisability of using nitro powder in 
the gun alluded to and what would be the proper charge, and would I 
gain anything in the way of longer range, greater penetration and 
flattened trajectory? Ans. The gain in penetration, range and) 
velocity from using nitro powder in rifles designed for black powder 
is not great. The character of the rifling in such guns is not at all 
adapted for handling the bullet at the high velocities obtained by the 
strictly smokeless powder rifles, and neither is the mechanism or con- 
struction strong enough to withstand the high pressures. Conse- 
quently for these rifles charges of reduced strength are used, the 
object being to approximate the velocities given by black powder. 
The advantages gained are a comparative absence from smoke and 
fouling. Write Messrs. Du Pont for their loading instructions.

perienced tourist agent and chaperon accompany the tour throughout
