Maine National Guard. 
Augusta, Me, Sept. 15.— Editor Forest and Stream: Your able 
correspondent, in giving an account, of the competitions at Sea Girt, 
unintentionally gives a wrong impression regarding the interest taken 
and work done by the National Guard of Maine in rifle-practice, and I 
feel sure that he will be pleased to know that he is in error regarding 
the same. He says "Georgia and Maine have taken but little interest 
in developing the shooting ability of their national guard" etc. Since 
1880 no little attention has been given to rifle practice in the national 
guard of Maine, and from time to time the conditions have been more 
difficult in qualification, till for several years the following conditions 
demanded. 
Third class marksman: Two scores of 15 each at 200 yds. five shots, 
Second class marksman: Two scores of 18 each at 200 yds. " " 
First class marksman: Two scores of 21 each at 200 and 500 yds. 
Sharpshooter: Two scores each of 22 at 200 yds., two of 24 each at 
500, and two each of 23 at 600yds. 
Under the foregoing conditions 53 per cent, of all the guard qualified 
in some of the classes. This year the practice has been more general 
and it is fair to assume that 75 or 80 per cent, of the entire force will 
become marksmen in these classes. 
Every soldier in several companies will have qualified before the 
practice season closes. A good per cent will be first class and sharp- 
shooters. The numbers of superior marksmen have simply been the 
outgrowth of usual practice, as our efforts have been to secure as 
many as possible of good average marksmen. We claim that the 
guard of Maine stands second to no State in its ability to shoot a rifle, 
and we have to learn of any State that excels it. Every company in 
the State has a rifle range in the town where organized. 
E. C. Fakhingto.v 
Our reference to Maine and Geogia was in no wise a criticism upon 
the National Guard of these States. The work of the teams repre- 
senting the two States at Sea Girt would be a refutation of any criti- 
cism that might be placed upon them. Our remarks were directed 
entirely toward the governments of the two Stales who for some 
reason have in the past failed to make the necessary appropriation to 
place the National Guard upon an even footing with that of some of 
then- sister States such as Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey. 
All ties divided unless otherwise reported.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Club secretaries are invited to send their scores for publication in 
these columns, also any news notes they may care to have printed. 
Capt. Ward, of the Sherman Rod and Gun Club, Columbus, O., is 
well in the lead for the Barton Trophy, which becomes the property 
of the member making highest average in the season's badge matches, 
providing that member takis part in 50 per cent, or more of the whole 
number of rr atcbes shot, usually thirty in number. V\ ard'R average 
for eleven shoots is a fraction over 93 per cent., his nearest competitor 
being French with eight shoots and a percentage of 91J4 There are 
yet nine more contests for the badge. The conditions are 25 targets 
per man, weekly shoots during the season. 
Justus von Lengerke is recovering the use of his right hand, and is 
much more cheerful in consequence Mr. von Lengerke has been 
practically paralyzed in the member by inflammatory rheumatism 
ever since the Interstate Manufacturers' and Dealers' Association 
tournament in Pittsburgh last April. Although far from all right, the 
symptoms are such as to warrant the belief that before long Mr von 
Lengerke will be able to hold a gun to his right shoulder and call 
"pull." 
W. H. Skinner, who represents the Forehand Arms Co., was present 
at the Climax gun shoot on Wednesday last. Mr. Skinner introduced 
a new scheme to the boys, under the name of "Chicago Freezeout. 11 
The idea is that of a miss-and-out, each man paying five cents into a 
pool for every target he fires at When two men are left it's a 
division. Tee Kay says it's just his size, and as a matter of fact he 
took to it kindly, everything coming his way. 
Mr. W. W. Dornin, representing the firm of Thos. B. Dornin & Son, 
of Lynchburg, Va., was present at the shoot at Rutherford, N. J on 
Saturday. Mr. Dornin also called upon Forest and Stream durin^ 
the week. Mr. Dornin iB a member of that live organization the 
Lynchburg Gun Club, an organization which shows its appreciation of 
Forest and Stream by numbering no less than 21 members as regular 
subscribers. 
The Winchester Gun Association, of Winchester, Va., will hold Its 
fourth annual tournament on Sept. 25. The programme includes 
10 20-target races at a uniform entrance of $2, targets 2M cents extra 
The club adds $10 to every purse; it also adds $10 in the third and 
sixth events to a purse made up by novices, who shoot in those events 
but for their own money. Novices are 75 per cent men. The Taylor 
Hotel is headquarters for shooters. 
The seventh and last shoot of the New Jersey Trap Shooters' 
League takes place Thursday, Sept. 20, at New Brunswick, N. J. The 
Maplewoods lead in the contest with twenty-one more breaks than 
their nearest opponents, the South Sides, and apparently have a sure 
thing of first place. The prize is awarded for the highest aggregate 
number of breaks in any four of the seven contests. 
The members of the Altoona Rod and Gun Oiub have gone into 
camp— Camp Uncle Joe Carlin— about three-quarters of a mile ft o n 
B i ree, a small station on the main line of the Pennsylvania, between 
Altoona and Harrisburg. The members extend a cordial welcome to 
all shDoters. Traps, both live bird and target, are part of the camp 
equipment; so take your gun along. 
The combination of a balky team, a vicious dog and Tee Kay's pants 
caused a good deal of fun at the close of the shoot, at Rutherford N 
J., on Saturday. Tee Kay's pants were torn by the "brindled bull 
pup;" it was a sight to see Tee Kay gunning for the pup with Van 
Dyke ■* pump gun ; the dog knew the man and the gun and fled incon- 
tinently. 
"Redwing" by scoring 23 out of 25, expert rules, on the Cleveland 
Gun Club grounds, on Sept. 3, wears the Cleveland World's badge for 
one month. Previous winners are Perry Sherman, W. Tamblyn and 
D. A. Upson. Each of the above have won the badge once; it must be 
won three times before it becomes the property of the holder, 
A large crowd visited Oakwood Park, near Dayton, O.. on Labor 
Day. to see the match between Capt. Bogardus and Phil Wentz. Con- 
ditions were, 50 live birds per man, $100 a side, 80yds. boundary, use of 
one barrel, any bird killed within 10yds. of the trap counted as a lost 
bird. Bogardus killed 41 to Wentz's 38 and won the match. 
Secretary Van Gilder, of Knoxville, has 60 names down on his list of 
those who will pay in their $10 for the pleasure and privilege of shoot- 
ing in the tournament next May. He wants 100 and he'll get them. 
The last of the '94 series of tournaments given by the Interstate 
Manufacturers and Dealers 1 Association will be held at Charleston, S. 
C, on Oct. 10 and 11. A detailed notice is given elsewhere. 
The prospects for a big shoot at Harrisburg on Sept. 27 and 28 
are very bright. Mr. H. B. Shoop is the secretajy of the Shooting 
Association. 
The Rochester Rod and Gun Club's tournament on Sept. 25 and 26 
should be well attended. The programme is an attractive one. 
The third annual tournament of the West End Gun Club, of Ot- 
tumwa, la., is in progress this week.

Des Moines, la., S apt. 6.— To-day was the last of a three days' 
tournament held on the State Fair Ground, under the management of 
Mr. C. O. Perkins and 0. W. Budd, of the Highland Gun Club. The 
State Agricultural Society donated $100 to be added to the purses, and 
also refunded each contestant his admission to the Fair Grounds, and 
did everything they could to make it pleasant for the shooters. Among 
those in attendance were More Chandler and Wm. Evans, of Red Oak; 
Dr. Dauthett and McFarland, of Osceola; Ed. Stay, of Clinton; Dr. 
Doan and Mr. Hozzelwood, of Humboldt; G. P. Christianson, Hamaker

Budd and Gwinn, of Das Moines; Lewis and Goodman, of Indianola. 
The shooting was from 5 traps, and all but 3 or 4 events were shot, 
rapid-tires or walk around system. Targets were thrown about 
70yds., and with the half of a strong wind made the shooting difficult. 
The weather on the two first days was fine but during the last day was 
rainy and disagreeable. A large crowd of spectators witnessed the 
shooting; among them being quite a large number of ladies. Scores:
