Revolver Shooting in England.

petitors at the North London Rifle Club's revolver competition's dur- 
ing the last three weeks, no scores of any account for the revolver

San Francisco, April 88.— Last Sunday the popular spring shooting 
festival of the California Schuetzen Club was held at Schuetzen Park, 
: San Rafael. Over one hundred marksmen competed for the cash and 
merchandise prizes. Cash prizes were $40, $30, $20, $17, 815, etc., 
down to $1. Merchandise prizes, one huadred in number, consisting 
of numerous cases of solid silver spoons, forks, soup ladles and 
"watches; of mantel clocks, cases of wine, whisky, etc. Tickets for 
cash prizes (4 shots) and for merchandise prizes (3 shots), on 25-ring 
target, 200yds., were sold at $1 each. About $1,000 was taken in for 
tickets. Shooting began at 9:30 A. M. and closed at 6 P. M. Competi- 
tion waxed warm in the afternoon, and some very good shooting was 
done, particularly on the 4-shot targets. 
Some of the highest scores in this contest wore: A. Strecker, 
24 25 24 24, total 97; Dr. L. O. Rodgers, 23 25 24 24, total 96: D. B.

R. Finking 70, F. Attinger 70, A. Myer 70, P. Jacoby 69. 
The prizes were distributed at a social given by the club on Thursday 
evening. The dancers were much in evidence, and a merry evening 
was spent. 
To-day She'l Mound Range was well occupied, but a fitful north- 
west wind made scoring very unsatisfactory at 200yds. The pistol de- 
votees, however, did some good work. 
Norddeutsoher Club: First class, J. Peters 4 17; third class, A. Hage- 
dorn 349, F. Rust 303. 6 
The Red Men's Schuetzen Club had an "eagle" shoot. John Felder-

Ross Will Meet Vandeusen. 
The following challenge, issued by Gus Zimmerman, of New York 
city, has been accepted by Vandeusen, bul no definite date or place 
for the matter fixed as yet: "Having read a report recently in which 
A.J Vandeusen, of Winona, Minn,, claims to have made 2,260 points 
in 100 shots, at 200 yards, off band, and thereby claiming the record as 
■champion of - America, I do not care to allow Mr. Yandeu- 
sen's claim to pass into record without a response from the East. We 
have in aad about New York many riflemen, Borne of whom/we believe, 
are the best in America. Now, if Mr. Vandeusen and his friends believe 
that Mr Vandeusen is the champion off hand shot of America, and are 
prepared to back up the claim of Vandeuf en in an individual match, I 
will make the following propositiou, viz.: I will back Fred C. Ross, of 
Brooklyn N. Y., to shoot A. J. Vandeusen one or three matches. 100 
shots per man for each match, for $1,000 or more a side. Ross to meet 
Vandeusen on neutral range, half way between New York and Minne- 
sota We have in our American sports many men who make all sorts 
of claims for eheuipion records. As a rifle shooter, I have a strong 
interest in keeping our rifle records as clean as possible, and it is my 
love of the sport th it induces me to give Mr. Vandeusen an opportunity 
to show the riflemen of America upon what foundation his claim for 
champion is built. "Gus Zimmerman." 
Vandeusen is Shooting. 
In view of the proposed match between Fred C. Ross, of Brooklyn 
N. Y., and A, J. Vandeusen, of Winona, Minn., the following dispatch 
from that city to the Minneapolis Journal, dated May 3, -will be read 
with interest bv riflemen: 
"Winona, Minn., May 3.— A party of Winona sharpshooters went to 
Fountain City on SuDday to have a shot on the ranges. They were- 
A. J. Vandeusen, Edward Ptlzer, William Sonnenberg, William Scbel- 
has and Alexander Aertz. Vandeusen started out to make what 
would have been another world-beater of a record, but when be had 
completed shooting the first half of the second target he was obliged 
lo give up on account of illness and retire to his hotel and lie down 
much to the disappointment of those who bad looked forward to a 
brilliant display of marksmanship. The first score made by Vandeu- 
sen was 225 out of a possible 250 points on the ring target. On the sec- 
ond ring target, the first half shot was 119 out of a possible 125, and 
had theiast half been shot in equal styte a flue score would have been 
made."

Club secretaries are invited to send their scores for publication in 
these columns, also any news notes they may care to have printed. 
The Flainfleld (N. J.) Daily Press, in its report of an entertainment 
given by the Euterpe Literary and Musical Society, of that place, says: 
"The violin solo of Master Smith gave evidence of considerable inher- 
ent talent and careful training. He played bravely enough for so 
young a lad before such a large audience, and well deserved the encore 
which his delighted hearers demanded of him. His brother's accom- 
paniment was excellent support." The Masters Smith referred to 
were Oscar and George Smith, sons of "Dntchy" Smith. It is said that 
the boys can play on their respective instruments equally as ably as 
their father can touch up the risible faculties of a group of trap- 
shooters. 
"Uncle Billy" Hughes, the veteran member of the Coney Island Rod 
and Gun Club, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who won the Pfsender diamond 
badge emblematic of the club championship of 1894, has presented a 
diamond badge to be competed for by the members of the club under 
conditions similar to those which governed the Pfosnder badge con- 
tests. Frederick Pfsender (27), Hugh McLaughlin (25), W. Hughes 
(25), Isaac P, Hyde (27) and J. P. Voorhees (25) tied for the badge on 
7 straight. Pfajnder won on the shot off, killing three more birds. 
F. L. Train, president of the Cobweb Gun Club, of New York city, is 
fast improving in his shooting. Mr.'Train.who keeps tab upon his vari- 
ous scores, can show by thosa records just what practice will do for a 
shooter. On May 1 he shot a race with H. C. Higginson, of the West 
Newburgh Gun and Rifle Association, the match being at 100 live birds 
per man, the price of the birds being the stake. The shoot took place 
at Newburgh, N. ¥., Train winning by the score Of 87-85. The birds 
were good flyers. 
Mr. W. H. Huck, secretary of the Boiling Springs Gun Club, of Ruth- 
erford, N. J., has sent me the following communication, which will 
interest New Jersey trap-shooters: "On May 16 the Boiling Springs 
Fish and Gun Club and the Climax Club, of Plainfleld, will shoot a race 
for the Shooting and Fishing trophy on the Boiling Springs grout ds. 
To make it interesting, we respectfully invite all clubs in the State to 
sen d a team to compete for the trophy. There is no entrance fee, only 
the price of targets." 
The Highland Gun Club, of Moline, III., will hold an all-day shoot at. 
its grounds on Decoration Day. The programme prepared is one of 
those varied ones that are, to my mind, always calculated to prevent 
any approach to monotony. The two-men team race, teams chosen 
by lot, is an event that should be popular in similar all-day shoots. 
There's a delightful element of chance about it. You may draw a 
good partner, or you may draw one who can't shoot; everybody 
enters a race of that kind. 
Jack Brewer tells me that, he has a big contract on hand the latter 
part of this week. He has been backed to kill 95 out of 100 birds, 
30yds. rise, Hurlingbam rules to govern. The stake that the match 
is to be shot for is too large for me to put down in figures. It is 
enough to say that it is said to be for a solid monetary consideration. 
It may be a good deal to say, but if Brewer is in tho same form that 
he has been shooting in lately, 95 out of 100 is no impossibility for 
him if he tries hard. 
Capt. A. W. du Bray, the well-known representative of Parker Bros. 
Meriden, Conn., will in future edit the gun department of Rod, Gun 
and Kennel, a bi-weekly paper devoted to field sports, published in 
Louisville, Ky. This position will not conflict in any way with his 
duties as representative of the firm mentioned above. Capt. du Bray 
will have charge of Parker Bros.' exhibit at the Sportsmen's Exhibi- 
tion next week. 
The Independent Gun Club, of Reading, Pa., will hold a two-days 
shoot at its grounds, Three-mile House, on May 29-30. These grounds 
have recently been much improved, and this shoot will afford an op- 
portunity to shooters to practise on the grounds where the $1,000 shoot 
will be held in October next. Mr. A. Knauer is secretary of the Inde- 
pendent Club. 
Messrs. Ford and Cunningham, who hailed recently from Fort 
Meade, Florida, called on Forest and Stream's trap editor on May 8. 
It may interest their friends in Florida to learn that, barring the loss 
of a little sunburn, the air of New York has not affected them. They 
leave for England in a few days, but it is safe to bet that the Hooker 
Prairie and Kissimmee Island will see them again at some future time. 
A dispatch from London, England, dated May 3, says: "At the 
meet of the Gun Club yesterday the first prize of the handicap sweep- 
stakes was divided betwren W. Rutherford, of the Westminster Ken- 
nel Club of New York, and Mr. Rishworth, of London. They killed 26 
birds each. In the £3 sweepstakes, 30yds. rise, there were nine entries. 
B. A. R. Kittredge, of America, divided the first prize with Captain 
Cottrel!, of the Gun Club." 
From a communication published elsewhere it will be seen that the 
New York State shoot this year, which takes place at Saratoga, June 
24-28, is to be up to its usual standard. These State shoots are always 
great gatherings, and this one in 1895 will be no exception. Pro- 
grammes will soon be ready for distribution. This tournament will 
also attract outsiders, a special programme being provided for "open 
to all" contests. 
The management of the Capital City Gun Club, of Washington, 
D. O, is working to revive the interest of the members of the club in 
trap-shooting. Club shoots will beheld every Tuesday and Saturday 
afternoon on the club's grounds, foot of Twenty-first street, from 3 
P. M. until dark. Visitors are specially invited to attend these shoots. 
At the Battle Creek tournament of the Michigan State Trap-Shoot- 
ers' League, the State trophy was won by Grand Rapids. At the 
annual meeting M K. Walton, of Grand Rapids, was elected president, 
and S. A. Howes, of Battle Creek, secretary-treasurer. The meeting 
and tournament in 1896 will^be held at Grand Rapids. 
The programme of the tournament held on Thursday, Friday and 
Saturday of this week, May 9-11, by the West Newburgh Gun and 
Rifle Association, of Newburgh, N. Y.. came to hand too late for any 
extended notice of its contents. These tournaments, however, are so 
well known that they need scarcely any other notice than the mere 
placing of the dates chosen in Forest and Stream's "Fixtures." 
Thomas Eley, of Wilkesba<-re, Pa., and H. E. Buckwalter, of Phila- 
delphia, Pa., shot a race at 50 birds per man on May 2. The match 
took place at West Side Park, Wilkesbarre. At the end of the first 
string of 25, the score was a tie with 22 each; in the second 25, Buck- 
waiter scored 20, winning by three birds, Eley losing 8 out of his 25. 
A. W. Peck, Secretary of the Kansas State Sportsmen's Association, 
writes: "A special rate of a fare and one-third has been secured on 
all railroads in the State of Kansas, and from St. Joseph, Mo., for the 
sixth annual tournament of the Kansas State Sportsmen's Associa- 
tion, which will be held at Kansas City, Kan., on May 21-23, 1895." 
A new gun club was organized at Montpelier, Vt., toward the end of 
last month. According to a letter received by Charlie Hebbard, of the 
Erpiro Targpt Company, written by Chas. O. Barrett, of Montpelier, 
the club starts out well with a charter membership of 25. 
A. D. Knapp and T. F. McKeon, both members of the Cobweb Guu 
Club, shot a 50 bird match on the club's grounds at West Farms, N 
Y., on May 2. Knapp won by killing 37 to his opponent's 36, McKeon 
missing his last bird. C. M. Donnelly was referee. 
The $250 deposited by J. L. Brewer with the editor of the Canadian 
Sporting News, of Toronto, t. an., has been returned. Had Brewer 
signed the articles, the match could not have been shot off on the date 
fixed, as Cockburn is confined to the house with a badly sprained ankle 
which is liable to lay him up for some little time. 
The Dupont tournament at Cincinnati this week is the first reunion 
of the "crackajacks" this season. Between now and the end of June 
they II meet every week. These two months will be great ones from 
ammunition and target dealers' standpoints. 
The Maplewood (N. J ) Gun Club has now won first place in two of 
tne New Jersey Trap-Shooters' League tournaments this year The 
South bide Gun Club, of Newark, N. J., has come out ahead on the 
other two occasions. 
The first shoot of the Connecticut Trap Shooters' League for 1895 
was held on the grounds of the New Haven Gun Club on May 2 In 
the team shoot between New Haven, Hartford and New Loudon' the 
home team won easily. 
The Fairview Cun Club of Lancaster, Pa., will hold a two-days' 
tournament on May 23 and 24. The shoot will take place at Ham- 
bright's Three-Mile House, the first day at targets, the second at live 
birds. 
"LeRoy, •" if he shoots in anything like his usual form, wilt let the 
Southerners know that there are some good shots down East There's 
a hot nest of trap-shooters around Boston and LeRoy 's one of the best 
of the bunch. 
A team of the Wilmington, Del., Rod and Gun Club will go to Phila- 
delphia on May 18 to shoot a match at targets with a team "consisting 
of members of the Forrest Gun Club of that city. 
John Parker, of Detroit, Mich., known to trap-shooters as "Des 
Chree-Shos-Ka Jack," wilt manage the Ohio State Shoot at Davtnn 
O, on behalf of the Buckeye Gun Club. y ' 
Lynchburg, Va., and Dayton, O., are both objective points for trao- 
shooters next week. After these tournaments it will be— "On to 
Knoxville." 
Manager Shaner, of the Interstate Association, writes as follows: 
"The Interstate Association will give a tournament at Vicksburg, 
Miss., on June 26 and 27, under the auspices of the Vicksburg Gun 
Club." 
Parties who have examined the new Forehand ejector tell me that 
lis a beauty and handles well, having also the advantage of very sim- 
ple mechanism in its important parts. 
It seems to be the thing now to permit 10 and 12 gauges to stand on 
the same mark. There will be several "tens" at Knoxville, if what I 
hear is one-half correct. 
A new gun club was organized at Hallowell, Me., on April 25, with a 
charter membership roll of 40. Mr. W. G. Meloon is president of the 
new club. 
The Interstate Association announces that the Grand American 
Handicap of 1S96 will take place near New York on April 1-3. 
Edward Banks. 
The Interstate Shoot at Lynchburg. 
Mr. B. G. Empie, on behalf of the Lynchburg, Va. Gun Club, in a 
letter, dated May 1, issues the following cordial invitation to shooters 
to attend the tournament given by the Interstate Association at 
Lynchburg on May 17, 18, under the auspices of his club: "A tourna- 
ment will bo held in this city on May 17, 18, that promises to be well 
attended. The tournament is given by the Interstate Association, 
under the auspices of the home club. The grounds of this club have 
been described in the columns of Forest and Stream; it is therefore 
unnecessary to enter into details again. Suffice it to say, that they 
rank second to none in this country for beauty of situation and per- 
fection of equipment. The club is composed of gentlemen of Lynch- 
burg, who know nothing but how to make a visitor feel at home, and 
whose hospitality is proverbial The time chosen for this tournament 
antedates the great shoot at Knoxville by only a few days, and will 
give all desirous of attending that event an opportunity to spend 
three days here in Lynchburg, practising at targets, and still leave 
ample time to reach Knoxville to engage in the tournament there. 
The railroads will allow purchasers of tickets to Knoxville to lie over 
in Lynchburg May 17. 18 and 19. We are in a direct line to Knoxville 
from the north, and this fact should insure us a great many shooters 
going to that place to engage in the great event. Shooters from 
Washington, Staunton, Greensboro, Charlotte, Winchester, Asheville. 
Raleigh, Charlottesville and other points will be in attendance, and we 
promise alFwho will honor us with a visit a royal time at the traps 
and a cordial, sincere welcome." 
Meadville Gun Club. 
Mbadville, Pa., May 1.— Twenty members of the Meadville Gun 
Club competed in the club shoot this afternoon. The event was at 25
