Missoula Rod and Gun Club. 
Missoula, Mont., March 31.— The Missoula Rod and Gun 
Club was doing business at the old stand yesterday under the 
most favorable conditious, not a cloud in the sky, nor a breath 
of wind stirring. Considerable practice shooting was done 
before the hour for the medal shoot. At the usual hour the 
latter was called, and fifteen abl« bodied sportsmen respon led. 
At the conclusion of the contest it was found that the gold and 
silver medals each were to be worn for the week following by 
shooters each having made a score of 16 out of the 20 singles, 
known traps and unknown angles. W. P. Brayton secured the 
"A" Class (gold) medal, Frank Woody the "B" Class (silver) 
medal. , _

" After the medal shoot sides were chosen for a team contest 
H. A. Stephens heading one team, and W. P. Brayton the other. 
The first contest, 10 singles unknown angles, the Stephens 
team won by a score of 32 to 28; another contest of like condi- 
tions resulted in a score of 40 to 39, in favor of the Brayton 
team. To settle the contest it was then decided to shoot 5 
down, and this resulted in a draw, 19 to 19. Being then out of 
targets, the shooters were compelled to leave the championship 
still unsettled. Had there been birds enough on hand, the boys 
would have been at it until now, 
April 7. — The Missoula Rod and Gun Club seems to be in 
especial favor with the clerk of the weather this season. No 
matter what quality oL ! weather obtained between times, when, 
the hour for the weekly contest arrived, the weather conditions 
for the shoot have been thus far almost perfect. To-day was no 
exception; consequently a, lively interest prevails among our 
trap shooters. W. H. Mace comes to the front to-day with a 
score of 17 out of 20 targets at known traps and unknown 
angles, and will wear the gold medal for a week. Frank 
Woody will wear the silver medal another week in consequence 
of having won the shoot oft' for first place in the "B" Class.

As usual, after the medal contest the boys considered the 
proper thing to be a team shoot. H. W. Thompson and L. L. 
Hunt chose sides and two lively shoots at 10 birds each man 
was the result. The first contest'ended in favor of Thompson's 
team by a score of 34 to 31; the second in a victory for the same 
team, the scoi e being 40 to 35. WILL CAVE. 
Cockfourn Puts Up. 
" Mr. H. P. Good, editor of the Canadian Sporting News, of 
Toronto, Can., has mailed us a marked copy of the above paper 
issued on April 13. The passage marked refers to our note on 
Cockburn's letter in our issue of April 6 The close of that 
note ran as follows: "It is hard to see how, if he wants a match 
with Brewer, Cockburn can fail to accept the above (Brewer's) 
terms." Cockburn wants the match and has deposited, as 
Brewer stipulated, the whole of his stake money of $250. in the 
bands of Mr. H. P. Good, of the Canadian Sporting News, as 
proof that he is anxious to meet the American. It now 
remains for Brewer to make good his stake money, go to 
Canada, and meet Cockburn on his own grounds. 
The pith of the note in the Canadian Sporting News lies in 
the following: "Mr. Cockburn has already put up with us his 
full stake of $350, and if Captain Brewer, who has not yet 
shown a dollar, will cover the amount, the match can be con- 
sidered made aud nothing will remain to do but to settle upon 
a date. As soon as Mr. Cockburn receives intimation that 
Capt. Brewer has posted his stake, articles will be drawn and 
the date set for the contest at two weeks after the signing 
thereof. The conditions, as already stated in the Canadian 
Sporting News, are Old Dominion rules, with the exception 
that the rise will be 2(3 instead of 21 yards. Capt Brewer has 
been notified that Mr. Cockburn's full stake of §250 is now in 
our bands and that consequently now everything depends upon 
the promptitude with which he covers it."

Babylon, L. I., April 10.— W. S. Edey, the Westchester, N. 
"ST., Country Club crack, who did such good shooting at Wil- 
lard Park last week in the Grand American Handicap, and his 
fellow club member, H. "Gilbert," shot a match at 100 live 
birds to-day on the grounds of the Westminster Kennel Club. 
Gilbert defeated his antagonist very easily by the score of 
83-69, Edey being clean off in his shooting, the fast birds at the 
above grounds proving far too fast for him. Both men stood 
on the 29 yards mark. Score :

hard time hitting the atmosphere with any degree of certainty.

Suggests Another System. 
Philadelphia, April 1. — Editor Forest and Stream: Having 
read of different systems of dividing moneys in sweeepstake 
shoots for prevention of the so-called dropping for place, I 
would suggest for instance in a ten bird (blue rocks) shoot, $1 
entrance, say 10 entries, 3 moneys, each in first place, to get a 
premium of $1, each in second place to get a premium of 50 
cents, and each in third place to get a pro rata share with first 
and second men of the balance. For example: 
10 birds, $1 entrance, 10 men 2 , cents per bird deducted, carry- 
ing a balance of $8.

Princ. $8, prem. $3; balance 15. Divided in seven parts makes 
the pro j ata, 71 cents and 3 cents over. 
Under this system a club may offer a larger premium for 
first, second, third or fourth moneys according to size of shoot 
and number of moneys. I would like you to try how this 
works with different scores and premiums. S. L. G. C.
