FOREST AND STREAM. 
[July;21, 1894. 
Central Gun Club's Second Annual. 
Dultjth, Minn.— Editor Forest and Stream: The second annual 
tournament of the Central Gun Club was held on their club grounds, 
located at Spirit Lake, July 4 and 5. Among the arrivals on the first 
train at the grounds were W. H. Skinner, of Chicago; B. Merrill, of 
Milwaukee; B. F. Shurmeier and Mr. Turner, of St. Paul; Joe Genevey 
and B. Hayes, Jr., of Minneapolis; C. W. Cool of Winona, and others, 
besides some fifteen members of the local club, and a large crowd of 
spectators, many ladies among them, one of whom took part in the 
shoot under the name of "Jones, 1 ' and she did some excellent work. 
The two days of the tournament were perfect ones for trap-shooting, 
there being just enough breeze and showers to carry away the exces- 
sive heat, and from the time the first squad stepped to the score the 
entire programme was carried out with a smoothness rarely met with 
at any shoot. The first day's scores were not as good as was expected, 
especially from the outsiders; but this is accounted for by the way in 
which the targets were thrown, which was as low and swift as the 
American Shooting Association would allow, and the background 
being only partly sky, made them hard to find. However, when the 
first day's shoot closed it found the prizes pretty equally divided, and 
the averages of those who were expected to shoot through were 
bunched, necessitating some hard work on the second day for place. 
The second day did not show up as large a list of entries, but most 
of those entered did so for average prizes, of which there was a long 
list of merchandise and cash, and much better scores were made, as 
the number of straight scores will show. The management, which was 
conducted by the local club members, was highly complimented by 
the visiting sportsmen on the way in which every detail was looked 
after by some one who was competent to perform the duty, especially 
in the cashier's and entry clerk's office, which could not be improved 
upon anywhere. Much assistance was rendered the managers, too, 
by the shooters themselves on their promptness in entering and com- 
ing to score, for which they return thanks. The tournament was a 
grand success financially and socially, so much so the latter that it 
seemed more like a social gathering of sportsmen than a spirited con- 
test. The ave9ages of the shooting through the two days are as fol- 
lows: Merrill 88.4, Skinner 85 2, Moore 80.7, Day .80., Hamline 79.2, 
Genevey 77.6, Sachem 74., Bert 73.2, Nelson 71.2. Leroy 63.6, Metcalf 
62.,Tanner 59.6, McDonald 50.2, Myers 58.4, Owens 56.4, Cool 55.2, Pas- 
toret51.8 
After the tournament the club held its reguly weekly medal shoot. 
The warm work of the 4th and 5th seemed to have done them some 
good, as some good scores were made. In Class A Nelson won from 
Dodge; in Class B, Metcalf from McDonald; in Class C, Little from 
Black, and Day won the Hulberg medal from Dodge. 
After the medal shoot there was a prize shoot for a rocker valued 
at 88, and a cane yalued at $5, each member allowed a certain num- 
ber of targets, handicapped according to his average during the tour- 
namene, and resulted as per the following [score, Metcalf winning 
rocker and Myers the cane.

Newark Gun Club Winners. 
A hot and sultry atmosphere greeted the members of the Newark 
Gun Club on Thursday, July 12, when the usual "few" assembled at 
Erb's "Old Stone House" grounds to indulge in their usual monthly 
practice at live birds. Previous to the shoot a meeting was held, the 
first of the year. The principal object of the meeting was to award 
the cash prizes won by the members during the year ending June 1. 
The members are each one rated at a given standard, and are given 
one point for each bird killed above their rating. At each competi- 
tion each member pays $1 into the prize fund and at the end of the 
year the aggregate sum is divided pro rata according to the number' 
of points gained. The rating of each man and the number of points' 
gained at each shoot are best shown by the following table:

The above distribution being completed the resignation of Secretary 
Fletcher Walters was taken up and accepted regretfully, as Mr. 
Walters had proved to be the right man in the right place, during the 
year he had performed the dutiesjof secretary, and his books were a 
model of neatness and accuracy. Pressure of other business, how- 
ever, prevented him from continuing in the position. The club voted 
him a vote of thanks for his faithful work. Mr. W. H. Green was 
unanimously elected to fill the office of secretary for the ensuing year. 
Acting on a suggestion from Mr. Jacob Pentz, who presided over the 
meeting, it was resolved to extend to the Parkway Gun Club, of 
Brooklyn, an invitation to visit Erb's grounds on the second Thursday 
in August, for the purpose of shooting a friendly team match with 
the Newark Club, each club to pay for its own birds. 
The above business being completed the party got down to the solid 
business of the day. The opening event were "Jersey" sweeps at 4 
birds per man, $3 entry, birds included, two moneys. The results:

Princeton Scores. 
Prikceton, N. J.— The Princeton Gun Club's hustlers served up to 
that club a Fourth of July tournament of nine Empire target and 
live bird events, more than forty useful and valuable merchandise 
prizes, and an elegant collation, served free to all the hungry shooters 
and their friends from 12 to 2 P. M. 
The out of town contingent was less numerous than usual, but 
made up in quality for what it lacked in numbers. 
The ubiquitous Winchester Arms Co.'s rustler, Van Dyke, was very 
much in evidence, a little outclassed here, but at Utica O. K. Those 
two old cronies, Mr. Kirk of Lawrenceville, and McCardle of Trenton, 
N. J., were also welcomed to a share of the shoot and the swag. We 
hope they'll come again often. The live birds were a duffer lot 
largely, and the shooting at targets away below average, but every- 
thing went, and everybody was happy. A shoot, a celebration and a 
success, a sissing trio, and we had it all. 
Handicap target match, 5 traps, 16yds.: Tiffany shot at soratch, 12 
birds, and broke 6; Bule at 16 and broke 9; Wesley 19 and broke 9;

No notice taken of anonymous communications 
"Trap-Shooter's Ready Reckoner." 
There has just come from the Forest and Stream press an ex- 
tremely useful pocket reference book for trap-shooters. Its full title 
reads: "Trap-Shooter's Ready Eeckoner. A series of tables showing 
at a glance the division of purses under all conditions, simple and 
complex, with entries from one to fifty. For use by individuals, clubs, 
and tournament s. Compiled by J. C. Clark, Secretary Kansas State 
Sportsmen's Association." Price 25 cents, postpaid, by Forest and 
Stream Pub. Co. 
IIH. C B., Staten Island.— Bating is the measurement of the Yacht 
Baciug Association of Great Britain; the sail area and waterline are 
multiplied together and the product divided by 6,000. A waterline of 
35ft. with 1,700 sq. ft. of sail would give about 10-rating. Dacotah is 
of about these proportions. 
G. M. B., Lakefield, Out.— If I take from Canada into the United 
States an English-made gun and rifle (which have both been in use for 
years) shall I have to pay duty on them, and if so at what rate? Ans., 
If the writer is a foreigner visiting this country for the purpose of 
traveling or for hunting purposes he can bring his guns with him 
and they will be admitted free of • duty, as a part of his personal' 
effects. 
A. V. T., Branchville, N. J — There is a rather shallow pond of about, 
an acre in this vicinity that abounds in carp. The owner, who is not 
a fisherman, tells me that he cannot catch them. I know nothing 
about this fish. Will you kindly give me information in regard to 
bait, tackle, etc., to be used in angling for them? Ans. Dough balls 
made by mixing white bread crumb paste with cotton are commonly 
used. Wasp larvie, grains of wheat or barley or worms are also good 
bait. It is a good plan to prepare the spot one wishes to fish before- 
hand by "ground baiting." For tackle use a quill float with light 
sinker on bottom. The fish is allowed to rise toward the surface Be- 
fore striking.
