FOREST AND STREAM,

A correspondent writing to us from St. Johnsbury, Vt., under date 
of Sept. 30, sends us the following interesting item: "Some of the 
sportsmen of St. Johnsbury have become interested in trap-shooting, 
and last night formed a temporary organization, with J. W, Titcomb 
as president, and H. A. Belknap secretary and treasurer. The club 
has been practicing for some time, but as the interest increased it 
seemed best to have a permanent organization and adopt a form of 
constitution and by-laws, which will be presented at a subsequent 
meeting." 
The conditions of the cup contest, offered by the Bergen County 
Gun Club for competition at its grounds on Nov. 7, have not yet been 
decided upon. President Bell, oi: that club, is busily engaged taking a 
census of the opinion of the local shooters en that point. 
Live birds at Baltimore, and targets and live birds at Newburgh, N. 
y., will keep the shooters busy In this section this week. It is a pity 
that Baltimore did not choose next week for its shoot, and thus give 
shooters a chance of attending both tournaments. 
It is within the bounds of possibility that the Knoxville (Tenn,) Gun 
Club may decide upon giving one of its old-time tournaments. The 
Van Gilders, John Connor, Judge Lindsay, etc., are good material to 
work on when it comes to giving a shoot that the boys like. 
BoUa Heikes will be in this city some time time this week. He will 
make a short stay in the East, but expects to get to Swan Creek, 
Mich , in time to stop a few snipe and some ducks on their way to 
spend the wlntw in the South. 
The team race between the Maplewood (,N. J.) Gun Club and the 
Bergen County Gun Club, of Hackensack, N. J , which takes place 
Saturday, Oct. 10, on the grounds of the Bergen County Club, will be 
an interesting affair. 
The Bed Owl Gun Club, of Liberty, Ind., will hold a tournament at 
live birds and targets, Oct. 28-29. The secretary, M.r. R. A. Greek, will 
be pleased to furnish all Information desired by Inquiring correspond- 
ents. 
Jim Elliott is not the only person who is wondering where all those 
people are who seemed so anxious to shoot him a race or two at live 
birds less than three months ago.

Position of the Gun versus Sportsmanship. 
Buffalo, N. Y.,Sept. 23.— Editor Forest and Stream; I am a reader 
of about all the prominent sporting papers (I should perhaps say 
"sportsmen's papers") published in the country. I read them as a 
rule from end to end, advertisements and all. It may be that I do so 
because I love sport and all that pertains to it, or it may be that I do 
it because I have plenty of time on hand, or again It may be both of 
the above reasons. Anyhow I've got some time to spare just now 
and my bosom needs unburdening, so I'm going to make you my 
victim. 
A few weeks ago I read some letters in a paper urging the adoption 
of some more "sportsmanlike" method of holding the gun at the crap. 
It seemed to me when I read those letters that the writers had missed 
the mark about as badly as they probably would have done had they 
tried their hands at live birds or targets under the present conditions 
at shoots of any kind. They did not consider that the two branches 
of shooting, trap and field scooting, are as widely separated by natu- 
ral conditions as they possibly can be. The trap, as a means for 
teaching a man to handle his gun in the field, is useful only in so far 
as It accustoms a man to handle a gun freely and easily, teaches him 
what his gun will do, familiarizes him with the use of powders, and 
above all, and often by bitter experience, teaches him that he must 
lead crossing birds— something that It takes him some time to learn 
iC he only does a little field shooting each season, and only finds the 
usual Quantity of game our woods are blessed vrith nowadays. 
In the field— that is, both In brush and open meadows— I have done 
a great deal of shooting in my time. Speaking from experience, I 
would say that nine-tenths of my game has been killed at distances 
varying from 15 to 80yds. from my gun; the other one tenth has been 
stopped sometimes under 15, but rarely over the 30yds. limit. Qaail 
when pointed by a dog lie close enough at times for one to step on 
them; occasionally, where they have been shot at much, they rise 
wild. My position when going up to a dog on a point on quail is this: 
I grasp the gun easily with both Hands, the left hand holding the gun 
just about the end of the fore end and the right hand just behind the 
trigger guard, with the first finger ready and itching to feel the trig- 
ger; my right forearm lightly touches the comb, It a quail jumps 
wild my gun comes up easily without loss of time, and my left arm is 
slightly bent (I do not and cannot believe in the stiff left arm busi- 
ness); in brush, where one has to shoot quick, my position and 
motions are just the same. In the open, when birds lie well, he is a 
poor sportsman who snaps his birds. Sneaking up to a dog on a point 
with an old cock partridge (rutted grouse) before him, I get my gun 
a little nearer to my shoulder, for one needs all the time one can get 
on a gentleman of tJat kind. The above is how I do it, but I don't say 
that It necessarily follows that it is tne right and the only way. When 
I learned to shoot I wanted meat, and I chose the way that came na- 
turally to me and which seemed to get me most meat. 
Now for the trap. Who has not heard some old- timer say: "Look 
at that fellow with his gun glued to his cheek ; He'd be a pretty sight 
in the field, wouldn't he, if he acted like that?" That sentence, with 
variations, has doubtless greeted the ears of many of your trap-shoot- 
ing readers. My answer invariably Is: "Circumstances alter cases." 
Another remark one hears of ten Is: "Why don't they hold the gun 
below the elbow like we used to do? That's a sportsmanlike way of 
shooting," Now I don't believe there Is a single man who habitually 
shot "gun below the elbow" matches who would ever think of putting 
himself into the ridiculous figure-of-four position assumed at the trap 
on such occasions if he was walking up to a dog on point. If that is a 
sportsmanlike position I'm no sportsman, and never will be, I'm afraid. 
The one-barrel business was cruel, to say the least. Many birds shot 
at in matches where "one barrel only" was allowed escaped badly 
maimed, when a second barrel would have put them out of their 
misery. If we are bound to Impose suffering on birds, let us at least 
put them out of their pain as soon as possible. The skillful use of a 
second barrel on a hard bird, whether in the field or at the trap. Is to 
my mind the height of skill in shooting. How many men can place 
their second barrel effectively ? 
The "gun in any position" rule was probably made not through any 
sympathy with the birds, but simply because it was im'possible for any 
referee, however good, to decide accurately all the time whether the 
bird was on the wmg before the gun was put to the shoulder. It is 
pretty hard to keep your eye on two things, both of which need 
watching. With an inefQcient or dishonest referee there was plenty 
of room for trickery, and plenty was practiced. 
As trap-shooting is carried on nowadays, the conditions are gen- 
erally hard enough. Live pigeons are usually liberated from 28 to 
30yds. from the shooter. He has to be very quick and accurate to 
stop his bird within bounds; there is a big difference between aiyds. 
rise and 28 or 80yds. rise; there Is also a big differeqce between the 
conditions of game shooting and trap-shooting as at present practiced. 
Then take shooting at clay targets. Buffed grouse and quail get up 
and away very quickly, but none of them get away for the first 20yd8. 
as fast as a bluerock or empire leaves the trap. Experts show us by 
their work, and as a result of their experience, that the gun to the 
shoulder is the best position for making good scores, and that Is what 
the boys are after. I have noticed that many thoroughly good 
sportsmen soon adopt the gun to the shoulder when they start in 
trap-shooting. They want to excel and they take what they have 
learned is the best position. 
There Is also another phase of this matter that needs a little notice. 
A bird lost In the field through slow work with the gun does not 
amount to much. Frequently It can be followed and flushed again. 
A clay target lost, or a pigeon lost at the traps, means dollars out of 
pocket and ultimate defeat. Don't lose sight of the fact that it is 
victory and dollars, or dollars and victory, at the traps as a rule. 
There are exceptions to the rule, but those exceptions occur only at 
the home shoots of gun clubs, never at tournaments, be they large or 
small. 
Now, gentlemen, I have had my say, and I should like to hear what 
the other side has got to say. Don't put this in the waste basket and 
I will be grateful to you, because I rattier like it and want to find out 
whether I am right or not. 43 Gsains.

Cook County Trap-Shooters' I^eague. 
Chicago, 111., Oct. 3.— The eighth and final shoot of tlie series of in- 
terclub matches of the Cook Countv Trap-Shooters' League for the 
year of 189G came off at, Garfield Club grounds to-day, this finishing a 
pleasant and important feature of the season's shooting record, at 
this city. The previous dates of these League shoots were April 35, 
May 16, June 20, July 18, Aug, 5, Sept. 5 and 19, results of which have 
appeared in these columns. The attendance to-day was hardly what 
was deserved by so prominent an event. It is likely that the presence 
of the field shooting season had much to do with the absence of 
many devotees of the trap who are connected with the League. To-day 
only two clubs. Eureka and Garfield, filled A Class teams. Eureka B 
Class was alone. No club filled C Class team. Calumet Heights being 
nearest with five men. Lack of interest may have perhaps also been 
due to the fact that the competition was really over before his shoot, 
and th^ main places already foregone in conclusion. Eureka Club A 
Class kept up her strong lead, and lands first on the season club total. 
As was predicted, Garfield B Class had a cinch ou the season club 
averages, and Calumet Heights landed first in C Class. This is a good 
club distribution of the League Grand Prizes. The beautiful Mussey 
Trophy (which was long ago fully described in these columns) offered 
by the representative sportsman. Mr. W. P. Mussey, goes to Eureka 
Club, which lucky association will have a bit of silver of which they 
may justly feel very proud, for there are few more genuinely worthy 
sporting trophies out in the country than this one. The second 
grand prize, the Montgomery Ward & Co. silver cup, deserves 
almost as high praise as can be accorded the capital prize, and shows 
the enterprise and taste of the well-known and powerful house. The 
set of Expert Blue Rock traps and pull are standard goods which 
Calumet Heights Club will use and enjoy every week in the year. 
In the season individual averages a surprise was in store. Dr. Shaw 
had a bit of reserve speed up his sleeve ip the homestretch, and landed 
the first open-to-all individual prize, the L. C. Smith ejector shotgun, 
which Is a joy forever also, because it will last forever, sure. Eddie 
Steck dropped back to second place and won a split-bamboo fishing 
rod, with which he can break targets when It is folded up. In third 
place there was an Interesting tie between Stannard, of Eureka, 
Lanphere, of Calumet, and Kuss and Hicks, of Garfield, who shot 
even on the season's totals. Really Mr. Steck shot for Mr. Lanphere 
to-day, the latter being obliged to leave, but the totals at the end of 
the 25 tie birds showed Hicks in the lead with 23, Stannard next 
with 21. This tie was shot at the three center traps, traps 
unknown, fixed angles, 5 down. The prize so plucklly won by 
Mr. Hicks is a fine big refrigerator, which will come handy 
this winter. It is a cold refrigerator when Mr. Hicks gets 
left. The consolation prize for low men in the club at each coh- 
test, a keg of Du Pont smokeless powder, was won by J, Church, 
of Douglas Gun Club, These are the more important prizes, and the 
only ones on which residts can be figured at this date, the club record 
needing long figurine before all the results can be established by the 
League secretary. Of these there are six prizes in each class of A, B 
and C, The first in the A Class Is the E. C. challenge cup. The first 
in B Class is a Remington shotgun. The first in C Cllass is a Marlin 
rifle, The other piizes hold out in equal scale of value, the total scale 
of merchandise prizes being the most uniformly appropriate and 
valuablfl one has ever noted offered in a competition at the traps of a 
nature similar to this. The League shooters may feel themselves very 
well appreciated and very well rewarded for their faithfulness, 
FoRKST AND STREAM offers besides to day's scores a table showing 
the record of every man of the League in the club contests for the 
entire season, which is really the news of the League's work In a

MISS-ANU-OUTS AT ZWIRLKIN'S. 
Oct. 2. — Nine shooters, all of them top-notchers, had a good day's 
sport at Yardville to-day. Some excellent shooting was done by some 
of those present, particularly by George Cubberly and J, L. Winston. 
Seven m'iss-and-outs were shot, 85 entrance, the results being as given 
below:

To-day the crowd of non-shooters was better than that of the 
shooters, a goodly number of spectators being on hand, in spite of 
the horribly muddy condition of the grounds, due to the late heavy 
rains. Among the ladies present were Miss Kelley, Mesdames Hicks, 
Russell, Kuss, Richards and Bowe. Mrs. Hicks acted as cashier, and 
did It so pleasantly that a man who only drew down 47 cents felt en- 
tirely satisfied with the world. Among the visiyng sportsmen was 
Mr. E. S. Rice, of Du Pont shoot fame. All went off very smoothly, 
including the magautrap, which turned out copy for the entire push 
with great regularity and ease and with one hand tied behind its back. 
At the close of the regular events sweepstakes shooting was taken up 
and followed until pitch dark, the shooters stooping down on their 
knees at times to catch sight of the birds In the darkness. 
It may be said that the season closed with the trap-shooting en- 
thusiasm at as keen a pitch as that which marked the first shoot of 
the year. The League organization was a grand idea, and has added 
to the Interest In the sport at Chicago to a very great extent. It has 
been of distinct benefit in increasing the feehng of comradeship 
among the different clubs, always a most desirable thing. It is cer- 
tain that next year's record will have an equal and possibly a greater 
interest to the lovers of the sport of the traps. Following are the 
scores of to-day's events:

match between the Dayton and Fort Dodge Gun Clubs. Conditions: 
five men on each team, 80 live birds per man, five unknown traps,
