i the treasury, and a good list of paying members. 
The old board of officers and Executive Committee was

[Jlub, in May next. 
From Winnipeg. 
The second annual dog show, under the auspices of the Maui 
toba Poultry Association, will be held in Winnipeg this week, I. 
should say it will be a success, judging from the number of 
classes for which prizes are offered and from the interest dog 
men generally are taking in cue show. 
Mr. E. Hughes, of Branton, has undertaken to pick the win- 
ners in the sporting classes, and Mr. T. Moore, of Virdon, will 
andeavor to perform a similar duty for the others. 
The field trial interests, as usual at this season of the year, 
are not attracting much attention, still, in a quiet way, some 
3f our local experts are preparing for an active campaign just 
as soon as the season opeus. 
The officers of the Manitoba Field Trial Club are not mani- 
festing much zeal just at present, but, no doubt when the ice 
begins to move in the Red River, they will be on deck with 
renewed vigor after the long rest taken. 
I was informed yesterday that a new club was about to be 
organized h°re for the purpi.se of holding trials this fall (at 
Morris, I suppose), either the week preceding or the week fol- 
lowing that of the Manitoba Club, and that should tais move- 
ment materialize, a strong effort will be made to equalize mat- 
ters between tne amateur and professional owners, without 
pressing too severely on either party. I trust it may be carried 
DUt, as it is in my opinion a movement in the right direction. 
A meeting will be called this week at Chicago Show with a 
view to organizing a Dachshund Club, an intimation of which 
was given in these columns last week. 
Mr. James Robinson was the only American exhibitor to bid 
God Speed to the English contingent on their departure on the 
Servia, the clay after New York Show, their dogs being shipped 
back on the Mohawk. For the Woodlawn Kennels he has pur- 
chased the noted bull bitch Bubble from Mr. S. Woodiwiss. of 
London, England. She will be sent out in whelp to one of the 
cracks. The unfortunate dog Facey Romford, who by many is 
considered the best bull now in England, is also being nibbled 
at from this quarter. Woodlawn Park Kennels had a corner 
on the bulls here at Detroit and evidently intend to do the same 
trick all around. 
Mr. Moorhead attended the New York Show and was very 
busy making preliminary arrangements for the show which is 
expected to excel all previous ones in Pittsburg. 
The many friends of Mr. John Davidson will be pained to 
learn of the death of his wife. During the judging at Detroit 
on Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Davidson was advised by telegram 
of the sad event and hurried to his home. Much sympathy was 
expressed by the visitors, aud which took material form in a 
beautiful floral piece that was sent to Mr. Davidson's home.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Lynchburg. Va., Feb. 19. — The Interstate Association's shoot ha3 
been postponed until May 17-18. It was thought best to select 
these dates so that shooters going to Kuoxville could havo the op- 
portunity to attend tbe shoot here. Everything will be done to 
make the event a. successful one. 1 am very sorry to hear the re- 
ports coming in of the wholesale destruction of the birds. The 
slaughter by the cold weather has been distressing. Efforts are 
being made to restock, which, I hope, will prove successful. The 
regular shooting season of the gun club will not open for sis weeks 
unless the weather improves. There are two feet of snow on our 
grounds.— F. M. D. 
Syracuse, N. Y., Feb. 19.— H White, Geo. Mann, H. Jones and 
Joseph Montgomery, four members of the Onondaga County 
Sportsmen's Association, shot a match to-day at Masena Springs. 
The conditions of the match were 20 sparrows each, plunge traps. 
Montgomery won by killing IS, Manu was second with 17; White 
and Jones killed 15 and 14 respectively.— A. R. K. 
I suppose George Work and J. P. Knapn will soon have another 
race at live birds, as each is now credited with a victory by three 
birds. Their united tot-als for the 200 birds they have shot at just 
average 85 per cent. In both instances, at Babylon and Lareh- 
rnont, the conditions were entirely favorable to the birds, the wind 
blowing a gale behind the birds on each occasion. The pigeons, 
too, in both matches, were an extraordinary lot. As regards guns 
and ammunition, both men stick to their colors; Work shoots a 
Pardev and E. C. powder; Knapp trusts to a Purdey-Franootte 
and Schultze. 
Fred. AVaddell, of Chattanooga, Tenn., better known perhaps as 
"Dupont" Waddeil, from his connection with the Duoout Powder 
Company, called at Forest and Stream's office on Satin-day, Feb. 
23. Mr. Waddeil had a good deal to say in regard to the big tour- 
nament at Cincinnati, May 7-10, which is promoted by the Dupont 
Company. The programme, which will be ready for distribution 
before long, will tell of a system for running tournaments that 
will be tried at Cincinnati on the above dates. The plan, as out- 
lined by Mr. Waddeil, gives promise of making the tournament a 
popular one. 
The Soutliern Club, of Hot Springs, Ark., has issued a pro- 
gramme for March 13 and 11. The programme contains but one 
scheduled event, a 50 live bird race, $35 entrance, S500 guaranteed, 
four moneys, each money containing not less than $200, $150, 
$L0it and $50 respectively; all surplus added. Amateurs stand 
at 30 yards, experts at 33 yards. Other events will be shot to 
suit the taste of those present Entries for the guaranteed event 
close March 9. For any turther information, apply to II. Price, 
Southern Club, Hot Springs. Ark. 
Ellicott City, Md., Gun Club will hold a live bird and target 
tournament in the near future. Ellicott City has several good 
shots among its gun club members, and any persons who want to 
spend a pleasant day at the traps cannot do better than visit them 
at one of their club's tournaments. Dr. Samuel J. Fort will 
doubtless be glad to answer any inquiries. 
Fred. Quiniby is rustling around among the Southern boys. A 
lettar written by him from Louisville, Ky., date Feb. 23d, shows 
that Fred's effervescent spirits have suffered no check during the 
recent cold snap in the South. 
The U. M. C. Co.. of Bridgeport, Conn., have gotten out a new 
shell to take the nlace of their "'Nitro Club" shell The new shell 
is maroon-colored, with the new No. 5 primer on which "'U. M. 
O." Thomas has been figuring for some time. That the shell and 
primer in the proper hands can do good work is proved by a pat- 
tern made by Justus Von Leugerke, on Saturday la3t, Feb. 23. 
Under perfect climatic conditions, 100 feet range, with 13 grains 
Schultze powder, 1 1-3 oz. of No. 4 shot, FrancoLte gun, Justus 
placed every pellet, except 12, inside a 19-inch circle. 
The New Britain, Pa., Gun Club has elected the following 
officers for the ensuing year: President, Frank LeFevre; Secre- 
tary. C. J. Oonard; Treasurer, Paul Van Toor. the club is only a 
small one as regards membership, but it is full of energy; it will 
probably erect a club house before next season. 
Newburgh, N. Y, Feb. 20— The Cobweb Gun Club. of;New York, 
came to this city this morning and shot a race with a 10-man team 
of the West Newburgh Gun and Rifle Association The cost of the 
birds and suopers for the crowd at Gedney's was to be borne by 
the losers. Tne home team won by 3 birds, killing 83 outot ! the 
100 shot at. to their opponents' 80 out of a like number. J. S. lay- 
lor and Dain, both Newburghors, made tbe only straight scores

The Brewer-Reinhardt race, shot at Willard Park, Paterson, 
N. J., on Wednesday, Feb. 27. resulted in a victory for Brewer by

is claimed that any number or combinations of traps can be 
pulled at once. 
The Valley City Gun Club, of Grand Rapids, Mich., whose 
tournament is advertised for May 30-31, will be assisted by the 
Interstate Association. Last year's tournament, under the same 
conditions, was a great success, and Mr. Rood, the secretary of the 
Valley City Gun Club, promises that the coming tournament shall 
be at least as good as its predecessors. 
The Interstate Association has contracted to give inanimate 
target tournaments at Pittsburg, Pa., April 16, 17 and 18; Wilming- 
ton, N. C, May 9 and 10; Lynchburg. Va., May 17 and 18; Grand

Pittsburg, Pa.. March 2.— Programmes for the Interstate Asso- 
ciation's Grand American Handicap tournament at live birds, to 
be held at Willard Park, Paterson, N. J., on Aprd 3. 1 and 5, have 
been mailed to every live bird shooter whose address is in our 
possession. We fully realize that there are any number of lovers 
of this popular sport throughout the United States and Canada, 
who have not received programmes of this big event, simply be- 
cause we do not know their address. For the benefit of all such, 
I wish to state that we will be pleased to mail a copy to anyone 
applying for same. All that is required is the dropping of a card 
to the New York office, J. A. H. Dressel, 313 Broadway, New York , 
or to the Manager's home address, Elmer E. Shaner, 122 Diamond 
Market, Pittsburg, Pa. This will insure their names being placed 
on our list of addresses, to be referred to as future occasions may 
require. Judging from the number of inquiries we have already 
reecieved for programmes, book of rules aud information relating 
to the Grand American Handicap, we are assured of a large and 
influential list of entries. ELMER E. SHANE ft.
