all shooters, especially by those who intend to be present at the 
Knoxville shoot next May: 
"Trie secretary, having, received so many enquiries from 
shooters all over the country, the following pointers are hereby 
issued for their enlightenment: 
f\ "The meeting will be conducted upon a business basis. No 
known dishonesty whatever will be tolerated; it will subject the 
contestant to immediate withdrawal from all events and for- 
feit all eutries, rights and privileges of the meeting;. The shoot- 
mg will be rapid tire, 16 yards rise, known traps, unknown 
angles; i. e., any angle outside base line of the traps; the 
programme contains 6 events, 20 targets, S3 entrance; 2 events, 
25 targets, $5 entrance, and added money, all divided 30, 25, 20, 
12 1-2 — 12T-2 each day for 4 days. Revised A. S. Association 
rules, with a few exceptions 
"A contestant may have his load challenged by any shooter. 
The secretary will then take any shell he has in his pocket. If 
more than 1 1-4 oz. shot, measured in Dixon 1106, struck meas- 
ure, is found, the contestant will be barred from all further 
rights and privileges of the shoot, and will likewise forfeit all 
entrances paid in. Merit and skill is the rule in this meeting 
and not trickery. This is going to be Strictly enforced. The 
excuse of*not knowing what was in the shell, will not be toler- 
ated, as it is the shooter's duty to know beforehand. Ten and 
twelve guage shoot from^same score line, and under same rules. 
No greater number than 3 extra shells will be allowed for a 
contestant to take to the score than the event calls for. No 
contestant will be allowed to shoot who does not make an all 
day entry. He will be given a squad, and number in squad, and 
then shoot all day. if he fails to shoot in any event, the 
cashier, upon due notice, will i ef und h.s entrance money at any 
time. When squad 1 is shooting, squad 2*will be required to sit 
in comfortable chairs behind them in readiness. Everything 
else will be done that may be necessary to conduct an honest 
and successful meeting. 
"Ttiere are now enrolled upon the $10 subscription entry list 
112 names, exclusive of the club and some neighbors. Those 
who have not sent in their $10 will kindly do so at once, to 
enable us to get out our programme, which will not be issued 
until 100 men have paid in their 810 entry. Our limit is 125 
entries, and no more; all who desire to get in the shoot had 
better send in their names and money at once. Those who 
cannot tell until the last moment, and expect to come and pay 
in their money here, had better write the secretary before they 
come, to find out if the entry limit is filled, as 125 is the posi- 
tive limit. 
Z "The manufacturers' fund, $500, is filled and with a few 
more to hear from We are gratified and very thankful for 
their intense. interest and support in this, the greatest meeting 
ever held in this country —where individual interest is lost in 
unity — with this support which exceeds the talent of the prin- 
cipals, the meeting is an assured success, and we trust the 
shooters and manufacturers will unite for the success of this 
shoot: as it is the club's desire for them to feel that it is their 
meeting, assisted by the club. Everybody says — says he— 'I 
will meet you at— The Knoxville shoot.' " 
Fast Birds at Yardville. 
Charlie Zwirlein, of Yardville, N. J., has the reputation of 
providing fast birds for the shoots that take place at his 
grounds. He added to that reputation very materially by 
f urnishing an extremely fast lot of strong flyers for the sweeps 
decided at Yardville' on Thursday, March, 21. It is 
very seldom that such a lot of birds is trapped in one day, and 
it is more than a pity that the attendance was not numerically 
far greater* than it was. So far as quality went it was fast 
enough. With Elliott, Brewer and Class among the entries, 
there can be no disputing the quality. Before Zwirlein adver- 
tised his shoot, he received the assurance trom a number of 
Philadelphia shooters that they would show up and compete in 
a 25 bird race, $10 entrance, birds extra at 25 cents each. On 
this understanding, and knowing that he could reckon upon a 
fair contingent from New York and vicinity, he gave notice 
that he would add $25 to the high gun. The 9.10 train from 
New York brought Elliott, Brewer, Class and Van Dyke, W. S. 
Sawyer, a crack one barrel pigeon shot, and his friend, J. H. 
Dill, from Spotswood, N. J. The above six shooters found 
Eddie Hill, George Cubberly, J. W. Budd and Zwirlein ready 
for business, but not a single shooter from any locality 
near Philadelphia. In order to give the latter a chance to 
reach Yardville by the train reaching there at, 1.40, a couple of 
sweeps were shot. Both were 7 bird events, $5 entrance, three 
moneys. No. 1 was divided up between Class, Van Dyke and 
Budd, in first place with 7 kills, Elliott, Brewer and Hill 
taking second money with 6 each, Zwirlein being alone for 
third with 5. , Sawyer, the only other competitor, made his first 
appearance before five traps in this event, and showed by his 
work that the game was new to him. In event No. 2, how- 
ever, he pulled himself together and killed all his birds, taking 
first money alone. In this race he made some excellent barrel 
kills, giving proof that he was catching on very fast. At the 
end of this event an adjournment was made for dinner. 
Immediately after the above meal bad been disposed of, 
eutries were made for the main event. Eight men paid in their 
$16.25, an agreement being entered into that, in case any be- 
lated shooter should arrive after the event had been started, he 
should be allowed to enter or not at the option of the con- 
testants. This arrangement permitted B. Kuser, of Trenton, 
to enter during the shooting of the 12th round. Before he had 
shot up his string as far as the others, he had put himself out 
of the race by missing bis 4th, 8th, 9th and 12th birds. The 
birds furnished for this race were really splendid flyers, many 
of them being as good birds as ever left the traps. Brewer and 
Class made some great stops, while Elliott, although he made a 
bad start, losing three out of his first four birds, killed more 
than one corker. Brewer's position at the head of the list, with 
21 out of 35, one dead out of bounds, is a great record on such 
birds. His first barrel work was as clean as I ever saw, the kill 
of his. 5th bird being one of the kind that is termed "phenom- 
enal"; although marked with the figure 2, the second barrel 
was entirely unnecessary. It must be stated here that Forest 
ami Stream's trap score type fails in this instance to entirely 
describe the flight of the birds. The speed of the various 
pigeons cannot be shown, and the difficulty of getting on to 
right quarterers at this shoot needs further explanation than 
that given by the trap score type. A brisk, cold wind blew 
catacornered from the left to the right, aiding right quarterers 
and right quartering drivers very materially. Some of the 
right quartering birds were as hard to kill as any driver that 
has ever left No, 5 trap at Hurlingham. Eddie HiJl drew just 
such a bird in the second round of sweep No. 1; it was a streak 
of dark blue and that was all. Brewer's 5th bird above re- 
ferred to was another of the same kind. Elliott's 5th bird in 
sweep No. 2 was also another; when he had plunked both 
barrels into it, Jim jumped in the air, his feet went from under 
him as he struck the ground, and the champion measured his 
length upon the ground, marking very plainly the difference 
between ;the 28 and 30 yards mark! Class was shooting in 
strange form for him; his first barrel was very little use to him 
on many occasions; he made up for this, however, by making 
some good second barrel kills. Charlie Zwirlein shot a great 
race, losing his 5th and 9th birds dead out of bounds, but finish- 
ing in the second place with the good score of 23. Ferd Van 
Dyke, whose father, R. B. Van Dyke, of Dayton, N. J., had 
come over to see the cracits shoot, used his Winchester repeater 
in his usual style. He dropped his 13th, 16th and 20th birds, 
but found himself in second place alone with 22 killed. Bis 
miss of bis 16th bird was, therefore, not so unfortunate as it 
looked at the tune; it was a bad miss, as he had plenty of time 
on this bird. Eddie Hill, besides drawing hard birds, had 
plenty of hard luck. Sawyer made some good kills, but was 
also unlucky, his 20th and 21st birds falling dead out of 
bounds. Budd, who had killed 13 out of 14 in the sweeps 
before dinner, fell down most remarkably on his last six birds 
in the big event, missing five of that number, ending up with a 
total of 16 kills. The quality of the birds may also be noted 
by the fact that the close of the 5th round found Class, Van 
Dyke and Brewer with the only straights. Van Dyke missed 
his 13th, Brewer and Class following suit by spoiling their 
scores on the next round, when their respectiva birds dropped 
dead out of bounds. Zwirlein's black setter, "Nig," and a 
brown setter owned and handled by the veteran, Miles John- 
son, did the retrieving in a quick, clean style. The scores 
made were as follows : 
25 live birds, handicap rise, $10 entrance, birds extra, 3 
moneys:

ideal one for trapshooting, as it was the first springlike after- 
noon we have had. The scores made in the club shoot as 25

Little Rock, Arkansas. 
Little Rock, Ark., March 21. — Once more Dickinson won the 
Pulaski County medal. Although only four shooters partici- 
pated in to-day's contest, it proved to be anything but a walk- 
over, as the score shows everyone of the contetstants were very 
much in the - race, and it was anybody's contest until the last 
gun was fired. When each shooter had shot his first string of 
25, Irwin led with 23, Dickinson and Pemberton were second, 
each having scored 23, while Duley brought up the rear with 
20. In the final string of 25, Irwin failed to keep up the gait he 
had struck, only scoring 19, thus jeopardizing all his chances of 
wanning. In the meantime Dickinson and Pemberton each 
missed two targets, the race resulting in a tie, their scores 
being 45 out of 50. Tbey immediately agreed to shoot it off at 
25 targets each. This time Dickinson won, scoring 23 to Pem- 
berton's 21. Not being satisfied another string of 25 was shot.

Meadville Gun Club. B 
Meadville, Pa., March 20.— The scores given below are those 
of the poorest shoot this club has ever experienced. They were 
made this afternoon, and as an example of what the Meadville 
Gun Club can do they are not creditable; but as a proof o 
what low scores some very good shots can make when the 
wind, mercury, traps and trappers are against them, it may 
serve as an encouragement for beginners. You will get some- 
thing better from us when the April medal contest comes off. 
Dr. Johnson's score of 41 out of 50, and Clark's 39 out of the

Brewer Shot in Great Form. 
Jobn L. Brewer, with a 10-gauge in his handf, shootiug a 
match under Long Island rules, that is, 21yds. rise, 80yds. 
boundary, use of one barrel, gun below the elbow until the bird 
is on the wing, is just about invincible. In his match with 
Morfey on Saturday, March, 23, at Willard Park, Paterson, N. 
J., he killed 47 out of 50, completing bis string with an un- 
broken run of 27 straight. Morfey shot very poorly, his misses 
coming in quick succession, mostly in pairs. Score;
