FOREST AND STREAM, 
[July 11, 1896,"^ 
The Question of One Cent Targets. 
Chicago, IU., June 28.— Mr. Paul North, of the Cleveland Target Co., 
■writes the following interesting communication upon the question of 
cheaper targets at tournaments. Speaking from a long practical ex- 
perience in tournament management, his opinions w ill be worth con- 
sideration upon the lateat thing in shooting matters: 
"The article in the JuneS7 issue of the Forest and Stream is quite 
an interesting one to the writer in many ways, and the interview with 
Ohaa. Budd brings up a matter that is interesting to all trap-shooters, 
as well as to clubs intending to give tournaments, 
"At all the large tournaments that have been given for the past two 
or three years where 3 cents each has been charged for targets 
from $1,000 to ^3,000 have been added to the purses as an attraction 
for the shooters to attend the tournament, and it goes without saying 
that a club that would attempt to give a tournament and not add any 
money to the purses and at the same time charge 3 cents each for 
targets would find that they would have a very slim attendance. 
"A. tournament where 40,000 targets are used at 3 cents each 
and $1,000 added to the purses is no better for the shooters than one 
where the same number of targets are thrown at 1 cent each and 
8200 added to the purseR, but still the $1,000 tournament would draw 
nearly twice the number of shooters as the $200 one. 
"Charlie figures on throwing 16,000 targets a day, and from his esti- 
mate on expenses I see that he intends to use three sets of traps, but 
he does not benefit by his experience in attending tournaments as 
much as he should. 
"Most tournaments are made expensive for the clubs giving them 
on account of their using too many sets of traps, and In that way run- 
ning up their expensefi to a high figure. 
"Taking the Hazard tournament as an example— as It was the lar- 
gest shoot of the year— and you wUl find that on the first day they had 
an average of over 100 shooters In every event and that they threw 
18,000 targets (a record for three seta of traps), and did not quite fin- 
ish the programme. The second day the attendance had fallen so that 
14,000 targets finished the programme, including the unfinished part 
of the day before. The third day 11,000 targets were enough to finish 
the programme, and there was plenty of daylight left to have thrown 
many more. 
"This makes 43,000 targets thrown in three days, where $3,000 in 
cash was added to attract the largest number of shooters gathered 
together during the last few years. 
"Now how does Charlie expect to throw 48,000 targets in three days 
and attract shooters to attend his tournament in numbers sufficient 
to consume that many targets. Certainly throwing targets for 1 cent 
each and adding $200 will not do it, as at the Haza'-d tournament 
targets were practically thrown for nothing and $700 added in addi- 
tion. 
'■The great mistake most clubs make in running tournaments is in 
having too many sets of traps, and increasing their expenses on that 
account. 
"My experience has been that with one set of traps from 6,000 to 
8,000 targets can be thrown a d^iy, with two sets from 10,000 to 
13,000, and with three sets from 14,000 to 18,000, according as to how 
well the shoot is run and how wefi the squad hustlers perform their 
work. 
"With the attendance at the Hazard tournament 40,000 targets 
could have been thrown in the three days from two sets of traps, and 
consequently the other set of traps was run for three days at an ex- 
pense for trappers, pullers, etc., of about $45 to throw the 3,000 extra 
targets. 
"At our tournament just finished we threw 30,000 targets in the three 
days, and could easily have thrown 10,000 more, as all shooting was 
over long before sunset each day. 
"We used two magautraps and the expense for trappers for three 
days was $18.88, or just about what it would have been for one day 
had we used two sets of the ordinary traps. 
"Using two traps, a gun club can easily give a tournament, charg- 
ing but 1 cent each for targets, and with the members of the club giv- 
ing their services for refereeing and office work, come out a little 
ahead. 
"However, until the shooters have been educated up to It they will 
prefer to pay 3 cents each for targets and have $500 to $1,000 added to 
the purses. 
"At most of the smaller tournaments where there is no added money 
the usual charge for targets is 3 cents each, but at the present price 
of targets and the appUances for throwing them 1 cent is a reasonable 
chaise, and IJ^ cents should be the most that should be charged. 
"We will throw all targets at our next shoot free of charge the same 
as this year, and when the shooters have figured the matter out they 
will see that it is equal to $1,500 added money. 
"We hope to see Charlie Budd try his tournament, and if he can 
make the shooters see the matter in the right light he will have a good 
many shooters present, but not enougll to consume 48,000 targets In 
three days." 
Boston Gun Club. 
Wellington, Mars., July 1.— A. sultry, stifling day in the city, but 
Boston Gun Club visitors Wednesday last were favored at Wellington 
with sufficient breeze to render it comfortable shooting. The after- 
noon's sport was varied, and in the prize match some good scoring 
was done. The final contest takes place next Wednesday, and as but 
2 birds separate first and second- Miskay 105 and Gordon 103— the 
winner of prize, a rifle, remains in doubt:

Haverhill Gun Club. 
Havkehill, Mass,, July 5.— Score made by the members of the 
Haverhill Gun Club at first practice shoot since organization. 
The shoot was held on the grounds of the club, at Hoyt's Grove, 
this city, and it would be difficult to find grounds better adapted to the 
purpose anywhere. Shooting commenced at 2 o'clock on the after- 
noon of July 4, and some 1,500 targets in all were thrown. 
About one-half the members participated, together with three or 
four visitors. *

and the other events were about

members are "green hands" at the trap, which will account for the 
low scores; for the grounds, traps and background are as near perfec-

PUBLISHERS* DEPARTMENT. 
A Trip to Japan. 
Thb Canadian Pacific Railway Company issues under the title of 
"A Woman's Pleasant Venture" a neat little brochure descriptive of 
an inexpensive trip to Japan taken by a lady who traveled alone. 
With regard to the cost of such a trip the writer says: 
"For instance, I found that a three months' trip to Japan, all travel- 
ing expenses included, did not cost me as much as a trip of the same 
duration in Europe usually does. The largest expense is the initial 
one of the 'round-trip ticket.' Once arrived in Japan, you find every- 
thing very cheap, and as the country has a depreciated currency, youi 
get a large premium on your English or American money. 
"Train travel in Japan, flrst-daas, does not cost more than third- 
class travel in England, and the trains are very comfortable. 
"You can hire a 'rickshaw,' with a cooUe to draw it, for 87 cents a 
day. Your hotel bills run from $1,50 to $3.50 a day, while speciali 
terms can be made for a stay of a week or longer. The hotels are 
generally run in foreign style, and are usually very much better than 
those one finds in most places in the Southern States. The large onesi 
at Yokohama and Tokle are quite equal to the first-class European 
hotels. 
"If you intend staying any length of time in Japan, you can hire a 
little house and some bright, wiUing native servants and live for 
almost nothing. 
"I can think of no more delightful rest for a person tired out by the 
work and worry of our busy Western Ufe." 
The pamphlet will be sent on application to Mr. B. V. Skinner, E. P. 
A. Canadian Pacific R'y, New York.— Adv. 
New Winchester Catalogue. 
Catalogue No. 57, which has been issued by the Winchester Com- 
pany, contains 130 pages of matter interesting to riflemen and shot- 
gun shooters Several pages are devoted to a description of new 
specialties in the line of shotgun ammunition, wads, shells, etc., and 
several new nltro primers are listed for the first time. 
The new model of 1895 repeater is fully described, and.a table is pub- 
lished showing the standard lengths and sizes of barrels furnished 
with single shot rifles of various calibers. The extras in single shot 
rlfies now include palm rests, Schuetzen butt plates, etc., and the 
compo^ient parts of double set trigger are listed for most models. la 
all there are fourteen pages of new matter.— Adv. 
Save Your Wheel. 
A DROP of oil at the right time and in the right place means long 
life and good working condition to a bicycle. Don't condemn a wheel 
when the trouble may have been caused by your neglect to qil ib 
properly. 
Oil frequently and use but little oil at a time. The best oiler for 
this purpose is the '-Perfect" Pocket Oiler. This oiler regulates the 
supply of oil to the exact amount needed. Ic does not leak and wlU 
save -you the annoyance of finding that all the oil has escaped from 
your can when you espscially need a drop for your wheel. The "Per- 
fect" Oiler only costs 25 cents, and is well worth the slight difference 
in price over the cheaper cana.— Adv. 
Gold Dust Smokeless. 
"Gold Dust," the handsome powder that Mr. W. L. Colville is intro- 
ducing to Eastern shooters, is, strangely enough, very popular in a 
number of States whose predilection is unmistakably for silver. In 
the West it has made a very enviable record, which it will no doubt 
duplicate in the East. "Gold Dust" is said to contain no nitro glycer- 
ine and no gun cotton. As there is a broad margin in loads without 
dangerous pressures. It should be a very safe powder to use.— Adv. 
The finest chicken shooting in the world is found in the States of 
Iowa and Minnesota, and the crop for 1896 promises to be the lAl-gest 
for years. Along the line of the Chicago Great Western Railway 
(Maple Leaf route) birds are pariicularly plentiful. Write to F. H. 
Lord, General Passenger and Ticket Agent, Chicago, for points on 
some of the choice spots and how to reach them.— .^dv.
