FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Dec. 8, 1894. 
South Orange Field Club. 
South Orangb, N. J., Nov. 29.— The first open tournament of the 
South Orange Field Club proved a success in every way. The South 
Side Gun Club of Newark, Maplewood Gun Club and Union Gun Club 
were well represented and all went away satisfied. The merchandise 
prizes were well distributed and It took better than 21 to win fourth 
prize. A dark horse by the name of Strong captured first, a fine split 
bamboo fishing rod; second went to Al. Sickly (a shell case) ; Warren 
Smith generously conceded to old vet. Asa Whitehead third, a leather 
gun case ; Van Dyke and Drake had a shooting match for fourth, Billy 
dropped his 21st and Van took the whisky flask. 
The club handicap shoot for merchandise prizes for members only, 
brought out nineteen entries; every one had a show to win and the 
pace set by the scratch men was hot. Colgate, scratch, first with 22; 
Babson, scratch, after a shoot off, second with 21; Quidly. allowed 
four breaks, third; Miller, after a shoot off with Dr. Fisher, fourth. 
The ladies had prepared a bountiful lunch, consisting of turkey, 
chicken, tongue, ham and several other kinds of sandwiches. The 
beans were fine and all voted Geo, Smith an expert in preparing 
coffee. Of course the manager kept the targets on the fly. Scores 
follow:

Trap at Lynchburg. 
Lynchburg, Va., Nov. 23.— Last week Mr. A. W. DuBray was in 
town a few days talking gun. He had with him an elegant gun with 
the new Whitworth steel barrels. It is the handsomest American gun 
I have ever seen. This week T. H. KeUer stepped into town on the 
whole shell. The trap season closed last month, but the boys took 
him out and shot him all the same. If anybody wants to know about 
the lay of Lynchburg grounds, let them ask T. K. all about the score 
he shot while here. Below are the scores made at to-day's shoot.

Hill Easily Defeats Dilts. 
Yardville, N. J., Nov. 28.— About 300 people gathered in Charlie 
Zwirlein's grounds to-day to witness the shoot between Hill and Dilts. 
Tne conditions of the matches, as wUl be seen, were somewhat pecu- 
liar, and at the conclusion of HUTs first string of 25 it looked as if he 
had a big^ contract on hand. The birds were a fine lot, the strong 
wind helping to make them fast and strong. They proved far too fast 
for DUts, who shot a poor race, losing by 15 birds, scoring only 47 out 
of the 75 shot at. When HiU had kUled but 18 out of his first 25 things 
looked serious for hjm, the terms of the match thus making him 7 
birds behind DUts with only 75 to shoot at. When the 28th round had 
been completed Hill was one more to the bad, the score standing DUts 
28, HiU 20. Then came a change that altered the look of things all at 
once. Out of his next 22 birds HiU kiUed 20 to Dilts's 12, the score 
thus being a tie at the close of the 50th round. It remained a tie up 
to the commencement of the 57th round, both missing their 56th bird. 
DUts, however, missed his 57th, giving HiU the lead, which he rapidly 
increased, finally winning out by 15 birds. After the bad break in his 
first 25, HiU struck a great gait, considering the quality of the birds, 
missing only 6 out of the remaining 75, a 92 per cent. oUp. 
The day's sport was brought to a close with a couple of $2 miss and 
outs; Zwirlein and Cubberly divided the first, with six entries, HU1 
and Zwirlein dividing the second, which had the same number of 
entries. Scores: 
Match, Eddie Hill versus J. H. DUts, 100 live birds per man, $100 a 
side, 1 trap, 28yds. rise, 50yds. boundary, Hill allowed Dilts 25 dead

Mcllhany Outshoots Wilkinson. 
Weir City, Kans., Nov. 26. — The fall shooting tournament of the 
Business Men's Gun Club was a decided success and even better 
attended than the local shooters had expected. Sixteen visitors, 
members of the Hutchinson, Parsons, Galena, Scammon, Chicopee 
and Columbus, Kans., and of the Joplin, Mo., clubs, were on hand. 
These with about two squads of local shooters, made the mud pies 
scatter. The day, though quite windy, was warm enough to be 
pleasant. 
Shooting commenced at 9 A. M. and continued until dark. AU 
shooters who had been making a "killing" at the various tournaments 
in this district were handicapped, and handicapped for keeps. The 
smiling faces of Mcllhany, Calhoun, "Pop" Dixon and others were 
conspicuous by their metamorphoses as they dug up last su mm er's 
winnings to keep the ball rolling. 
The main event was the live bird contest betweeP McBhany and 
Wilkinson, which was easUy won by the former. WUkinson shot an 
exceedingly poor race, and seemed to lose heart early in the game, as 
he noticed his opponent bowl over bird after bird. Wilkinson is weU 
known in this part of God's country as an old country trap and handle 
shooter. He has defeated quite a number of antagonists at this un- 
sportsmanlike game. His backers were very confident of victory and 
lost over $500 by his defeat. The match was shot under American 
Association rules, Wilkinson furnishing the birds. At the conclusion 
of the forty-first round, seeing that he was shot out of the race, WU- 
kinson declined to finish the match, although a considerable amount 
of money waB bet on the total scores out of 50 birds. The foUowing 
score shows the flight of the pigeons and the first and second barrel 
kills: 
Match— 50 Uve birds each for stake of $200 and gate money— Ameri- 
can Association rules:

The above match took one hour and a half to shoot, remarkably 
slow time. The conclusion of the programme events was marked by 
an interesting and attractive feature, a team race at targets for "an 
oyster supper and refreshments." Mayor King and ex-Mayor Abbott 
captained respectively the winning and the losing teamB. As it was 
quite late before the race could be shot only 16 shooters took part in 
it. King's side won in spite of Kirk's ten straight (misses), by 8 
targets. Trap-shooting is rapidly gaining in popularity here and with 
the coming spring a revival of the sport wiU take place that has never 
been equalled in the Southwest. Already team races are discussed 
between the clubs from Weir City, Joplin, Galena, Scammon and 
Columbus, and I presume the war wUl end only by the survival of the 
fittest. Mamaluke. 
Irwin— Walpert. 
Peoria, 111., Nov. 25.— There was a time in the history of the shoot- 
ing affairs of this country when Peoria was one of the leading shooting 
centers. In the days of Fred Kimble, Chas. Stock, Chas. Lincoln, H. 
Fahnestock and many others not known to the writer, there were 
some of the biggest contests ever "puUed off" and some of the best 
tournaments of the times held here. Four days of last week the pop- 
ping of guns at Lake View Park was heard. Wednesday and Saturday 
two matches, 100 live birds, $100 a side, American Ass'n rules, 12 gauge 
guns, came off. The contestants being the well known W. "Tramp" 
Irwin and Mr. Gus Walpert, an old resident and weU known pigeon 
shot. The scores show that the first 100 birds in each match were 
extra good and fast but a very few had to be flagged; but you know 
birds get slower toward night faU, the first match going well into 
the night time. The score:

For the Preservation of Metals Used in Roofs. 
Bridges and Construction Work. 
AT the Montreal meeting of the American Society of Mechanical 
Engineers, an interesting paper was read on methods for preserving 
metal used in pipes, roofs, bridges, poles, construction work, etc. In 
conclusion, the whole question of how best to protect iron and steel 
from corrosion in all the varying conditions that the wants and usages 
of to-day demand, seems to resolve itself into several "Don'ts," as the 
best method of answering it, to wit: 
Don't have any scale on the metal. 
Don't paint it with anything but pure linseed oil and oxide of lead 
or graphite paints. 
Don't forget that frequent inspection and care are very necessary. 
Don't let the cost and interest accounts be the governing factors in 
the case of protecting any metal structure on whose continuity and 
strength human life and safety depend. 
In comparing the two paints recommended, it may be weU to add 
that a properly made graphite paint should prove more djurable and a 
better protector than oxide of lead Graphite has a strong affinity 
for metal surfaces, and experienced painters claim that even where 
fight colors are desirable, graphite paint should be used as a priming 
coat. Again, graphite is impervious to the action of heat, cold, sea 
air, acid or alkali fumes, which are more or less destructive agents to- 
lead paints. 
The Joseph Dixon Crucible Co., Jersey City, N. J., have manufac- 
tured a pure linseed oU and graphite paint for over 25 years, and have 
some very convincing testimonials of its value.— Adv.
