FOREST AND STREAM. 
[June 30, 1896. 
this tournament: Guns: Smith 26, Parker 24, Lefever 16. Baker 11, 
Francotte 6, Greener 5, Winchester 4, Scott 2, and one each of Lang, 
Holland, Colt, Rawbone and Remington. Shells: Smokeless 52, 
Leader 7, Rapid 5, Trap 5, Blue Rival 4, Walsrode 3, Lightning 3, 
Peters 2, Acme 2. Powders: Du Pont 30, E. C. 24, Schultze 20, Wals- 
rode 7, King's Smokeless 4, Gold Dust 3, W-A 2. 
The Buffalo dailies, both morning and evening, gave capital reports 
of the shoot. It is very seldom that one sees daily newspapers pay so 
much attention to a tournament. 
The shooting at this tournament was as hard as any we have ever 
seen, hut the traps were eased up somewhat on the last day. 
J. J. Hallowell, of Tucson, Arizona, was a visitor to Buffalo for this 
shoot. Hallowell held up his end all right, and showed that he knew 
how to kill live birds on the last day of the shoot. 
J. S. Fanning, a San Francisco expert, shot Gold Dust well to the 
front on several days of this tournament. On Saturday he shot at 20 
live birds and killed them all, dividing a miss-and-out with 6 straight, 
and winning, another outright with 10 straight; he also killed 4 in 
practice. 
Seth Clover, of course, was on hand, A State shoot without Clover 
might be somewhat less noisy, but it would not seem like a New York 
State shoot at all. 
A boy from Rochester, Skinner by name, did some good shooting on 
the first two days. He made many a man who was his senior by 
years take a back seat. 
Schorty and his mascot were all right. When it comes to cracking 
kingbirds, Schorty Is apparently as mnch at home as when live-bird 
shooting at Dexter Park. 
Flick, of Ravenna, Ohio, was in great form. The speed of the tar- 
gets did not bother him at all. His position in the general averages 
was thoroughly well earned. 
In addition to the shelter from the heat and wet provided by the 
management, the TJtica and Rochester boys each had a private tent 
for their own accommodation and that of their friends. 
Mr. Clinton Bidwell presided over the Du Pont and Hazard head- 
quarters tent during the tournament, and smiled when he saw how 
many men were shooting Du Pont's Smokeless. 
Uncle Dan Lefever was not in his usual trim with the gun, and was 
forced to hand over the Lefever medal, which he won last year, to 
Sim Glover. But Dan was not worrying a bit; he is not that sort of 
man. By the way, a new bicycle seat has been patented by Mr. Le- 
fever that looks as if it is bound to make headway, as it makes riding 
over rough roads almost as pleasant as over the smooth asphalt streets 
of Buffalo. 
Epop, or rather A. P. Pope, was both shooting and talking Walsrode 
during the tournament. Judging from the improvement in his scores 
it looks as if Pope was getting his grip back again. 
The Gold Dust Hotel was the name given by the boys to the head- 
quarters of Mr. Salem G. Le Valley and Dick Swiveller, of the United 
States Smokeless (Gold Dust) Powder Company. Mr. Le Valley, Dick 
Swiveller and Jack Fanning made a great trio for the company they 
represented. 
In the Auikibon Gun Club event on Friday afternoon Jim Elliott, 
with 11 extra targets to shoot at for his handicap, had broken 57 out 
of his 61. It looked as if he had won the $350 piano for sure. Beck, 
of Indianapolis (McVey in the scores) says that he found Jim Elliott 
behind the club house, practicing with his fingers on a fence rail as if 
he was playing tbe piano As soon as Carl von Lengerke broke 60 
out of his 67, Beck says that Jim quit practicing. Edward Banks. 
Boston Gun Glub. 
Boston, Mass., June 10.— When the "rain or shine" squad alighted 
from the train at Wellington this afternoon, and wended its way along 
the Boston Gun Club's board walk, the atmosphere was very, very 
moist. In fact, it was pouring, had been for three days, and mackin- 
toshes and umbrellas were as much in evidence as guns and shells. 
But it takes more than mere rain to dampen this crowd's enthusiasm, 
and after some desultory patterning of guns and loads that would 
break 11 targets out of every 10, the regular practice was started, the 
raindrops splashing sweater and coat alike. The second event saw 
the breaking of clouds, and within another half hour we were favored 
with the most perfect shooting conditions of any day this year. The 
scores bear evidence of such, and it was somewhat novel 10 have no 
wind allowance bothering one's brain. It is a well-known fact that if 
there is a zephyr anywhere it gathers strength crossing the Mystic 
marshes, and by the time Wellington Is reached the zephyr is a high 
school graduate with diploma in hand and breezy enough for any- 
thing. The prize match afforded another vindication of distance 
handicap, a 14yd. man emerging among the 16 and 18yd. shooters with 
a 20 to his credit. Four straights were made, two by Miskay and one 
each by Gordon and Parker. Scores follow:

Bergen County Gun Club. 
At a meeting held in Hackensack, N. J., June 9, a new associatiou 
was permanently organized under the name of the Bergen County 
Gun Club. Officers elected for one year: President, Thomas Bell; 
Vice-President, H. D. Warner; Secretary, C. O. Gardiner; Treasurer, 
Edward F. Jackson; Captain, Geo. Griffiths. Committees on rules, 
membership, house, grounds and shooting|apparatus were appointed. 
The club ib an outgrowth of the dissatisfaction at the treatment of 
the guests and the chairman of shooting committee of the Oritani Field 
Club received from the officers of the club at the club's first tourna- 
ment, May 19, when a number of gentlemen were offensively ordered 
to leave the grounds or go and pay for the privilege of looking at a 
ball game on a portion of the field adjoining. That was the last of 
shooting at the club except what two members may do who are not 
members of the new organization, which elected all the persons it 
desired at the meeting referred to above. All the rest are in the new 
organization and several others who had always refused, to shoot so 
lone as the shooting was done at the Oritani Field Club. 
The club iB to lease two acres of grounds midway between Hacken- 
sack and t Bogota, right on the Hackensack River, and will be in full 
view of the Oritani Held Club. 
A handsome little club house is to be erected, a 50ft. platform, 60ft. 
screen, trap pit, with five electric traps— all to be done immediately. 
The members have subscribed the necessary amount. 
The club will hold its first big shoot July 4. The principal event 
will be a merchandise 25-bird race. A handsome pearl and tortoise 
ring, gun case, loading tools, loaded shells and other valuable articles, 
Including subscriptions of one year to magazines and sporting papers, 
will be the prizes, and there'll be one for nearly every shooter. The 
secretary is C. O. Gardiner.

Pawtuxet's Club Shoot. 
Pawtuxbt, R. I., June 6.— The fourth weekly shoot for the club 
badges took place to-day. It was the most successful shoot to point 
of attendance of any of the series. S. L. Wilson won in Class A for the 
first time with the good score of 24. A strong wind blew across the 
traps and the empires flew fast and far, but with a few exceptions the 
boys seem to be catching on; Class C in particular seems to be show- 
ing a steady improvement. 
Trap-shooting in Little Rhody seems to be looking up, and to-day 
reminded one of the palmiest da^ s of the Old Narragansett club, of 
ten years ago.

One Cent Targets in the West. 
Chicago, 111., June 13.— It was announced in last week's Forest and 
Stream that a meeting would be held by three leading Chicago gun 
clubs with the purpose of organization of the Chicago shooters for a 
target tournament to be held later in the season. This meeting has 
been held and the matter has been placed in the hands of the Cook 
County Trap-Shooters' League. The intention is to give a big target 
tournament and to throw targets at a lower rate than has been the 
custom, probably at 1 cent a target. The agitation grew out of the 
tact that many of the shooters were dissatisfied with the low winnings 
in the Illinois 8tate shoot, where the birds ate up the purses.

H. O., Ogdensburg, N. Y.— My pug dog, nearly four years old, for • 
some time past has a swelling in his mouth under tongue. This swell- 
ing is filled with blood and saliva; and has been lanced in order to give i 
relief, but as soon as incision heals up it commences to fill up again. | 
The substance which comes away appears to be blood and mucus 
and is streaky. The dog does not seem to be inconvenienced by 
it until tbe swelling gets nearly as large as a hen's egg. What ] 
would be best course to take to stop its occurrence again after lancing, 
which now has to be done about every six months? Ans. The cyst 
should be well opened, curetted (scraped) and packed with iodoform 
gauze. The gauze should be removed in a day or two and a smaller 
piece put in, and so from time to time until the wound has healed com- 
pletely from the bottom. If you cannot treat the wound in this way 
remove a portion of the cyst wall.

Small Bores vs. Big Game. 
The following letter gives the opinion of a Western hunter regard- 
ing the merits of the .303 Savage rifle as a game killer: 
Essex, Mont., May 17.— C. W. Hackett Hdwe. Co., St. Paul, Minn. 
Gentlemen: Received all the goods in good shape and found the rifle 
far better than I thought it would be, but that is a good thing. It is 
handsome and very quick with its work. 
I have tried it on bears; shot a large brown bear, with the solid ball 
through the shoulder. The first ball did not knock him down, so I sent 1 
one more through his shoulder and it killed him. Some days after- 
ward I shot a small silver tip bear with the expanding bullet and 
killed it at once. A few days afterward I shot a very large black 
bear, the bullet angling through its neck close to his ear and across to 
his shoulder, and he was killed so instantly he never kicked; this was 
with the expanding bullet. 
I have four other rifles and I am going to try and sell or trade some 
of them so I can get another Savage. 
What will it cost to obtain 500 metal patched bullets, a box of ' 
primers and the moulds for bullets? Also a 31b. can of Savage smoke- J 
less powder ? This is for the Savage rifle. 
Please send me bill for the same and the credit I get for the same < 
and oblige. You were saying that Lyman sights could not be put on 
the Savage rifles. I did not have the rifle two days before I' had 
Lyman sights on it and took them off one of my other rifles, and now 
"she is a dandy." I remain yours truly, John Sinclair.— Adv.

The letterpress is very brief, giving in concise f orm jjist those 
points that tourists want to know, and most of the space is given up 
to pictures. There are Sdvtr^i hundred of these, showing the princi-

we can form a very fair idea of each locality from the accompanying
