Kentucky Gun Club's Tournament. 
Lomsviu^B, Ky. , Oct. S4.— The Kentncky Gun Club, of Louisville, 
Ky., closed Its annual autumn tournament to-day after three daya of 
continuous shooting. The first day all events were at targets; sefond 
day, Kentucky Handicai) and sweeps at pigeons; and third day, Ken- 
tucky State championship at piKeons. 
. On the opening day the weather was beautiful, but so awfully hard 
is the shooting: made on these grounds that low scores generally pre- 
vailed. J. D. Gay carried nS first average, Harry Lyons and Bland 
Eiallard tied on second, while Oooper took third. Mr. Cooper's record 
is remarkable, as this gentleman had never before shot on these very 
diAcult grounds, or rather at the swift, low, record-breaking targets 
which have puzzled so many of the best shots. 
On the second day the weather was simply vile. It rained and 
drizzled all the time, and had the pigeons been anything but first-class 
the shooting must have been very tame, but so good were tbey that 
the dampness did not seem to interfere with them much, and out of 
18 entries in the Kentucky Handicap only four were fortunate 
enough to go out straight, which captured all the money, this event 
being at high guns. On this day again did Mr. Gay show off to splen- 
did advantage, scoring 57 out of 53 pigeons shot at, a feat any ma.n 
may well be proud of. 
To day (Oct. 24) the weather was bright and clear, with a slight 
breeze blowing from left to right directly across the traps. When 
twenty-one men bad made their entrance time was called, and the 
match for the championship of dear old Kentucky was on. 
The most remarkable feature of this affair is that out of this num- 
ber of entries seven should reach the 24 notch, showing clearly how 
well so many of the contestants were shotting. 
Chadwick, who had tUe match fairly aad snu»ly won by scoring his 
last bird, had the misfortune to undershoot a rising, drifting right- 
quarterer with his first barrel, a^d to do vpry little apparent damage 
with his second. He thus had the mortification of finding himself 
changed in one insi ant from the absolute possession of the cup to a 
mere competitor in a well-filled tie— a tie which was bound to be diffi- 
cult to win owing to the skill of the men who composed it. This was 
all the more aggravating, as Chadwick had scored 24 last year and 
also had landed in for first place, so that in spite of his having killed 
and scored 48 pigeons out of 50, fate decreed that he should have noth- 
ing to show for it 
Lyons, with his never-let-go style, after losing his 3d bird made a 
run of 33 straight— quite a good many when one has to kill them one 
at a time. He can flatter himself that he was the last man to cling to 
Bland Ballard, who, after he once got into the tie, could not be Bb»ken 
off. Ballard shot to-day at'45 pigeons, including 5 in a miss-and-out, 
and killed them all, but lost one dead out of bounds— his SO h 
bird So one can readily seethe form he wa^ in, and no further com- 
ment would elucidate. He shot a dead ga'ne match and won it on his 
merits, and that is just what one may expect of him whenever called 
on to show his colors. 
Clay and Woodstock had the misfortune to each lose a bird dead 
out of bounds, So, in such company, when a fellow wins out he may 
consider himself a very fortunate man, sure. 
The shooting of Norvin Harris was excellent; 2i out of 25 is away 
up, and when one considers how little practice he gets at the traps, 
one marvels at his success. 
But those modest men in their quiet way perform wonders at times, 
and the charming part of it all is that they always delight in praising 
the exploit of a friend, but are forever silent on their own achieve- 
ments; and that is refreshing. 
Shipp, who started in with a dead bird out of bounds, pulled him- 
self well together and landed well in the money, making several beau- 
tiful kills; but luck will kill any one. Phipps bad his share on that 
day. 
Trimble shot splendidly all along, losing an awfully fast quar- 
tering to the right little blue hen that went out like a rocket, hue did 
not come down like a stick. He duplicated his Chicago score of 24 out 
of 25, but on this occasion on vastly harder birds. 
Jim, the purveyor, was in his glory, and a merry little twinkle 
danced in his blue eyes when some ambitious youngster came to grief 
on a specially hard twisting driver And well he might, for he secured 
for this occasion a great lot of birds. 
The Parirer gun was strictly in evidence in the hands of Messrs. Gay, 
Lyons. Chadwick. Woodstock, Cooper, Page, Clay and many others; 
while Sohultze, Du Pont, E. C. and Hazard powders were very gener- 
ally used. Bland Ballard used V. L. & D., U. M C, Schul ze hand- 
loaded shells, and so did Woodstock. Gay shot U. M. C. Smokeless 
shells and Du Pont, while Lyons shot Smokeless shells and E. C.

Curious Decision of a Referee. 
We have often been asked to decide the following point that some- 
times occurs in a live-bird match; A and B are shooting a 
match ; it is B's turn to shoot. He goes to the score, calls "Pull" and 
kills his bird. A then discovers that when B called "Pull" only four 
of the five traps were loaded. What should be the referee's decision? 
We have invariably replied: It is a no bird; B must shoot at another 
bird from the five unknown traps. That is our interpretation of 
Rules 4 and 5, A S. A. rules (revised 1893). 
It wus with some surprise, therefore, that we read the decision of a 
referee on th's point i" the following clipping from a sporting paper 
mailed to ua by a correspondent, with the request that we pass upon 
it in our columns for the benefit of himself and others interested in 
such things. 
"A singular happening took place during the shooting; it occurred 
just after Winston went out to gather a knocked down bird Natu- 
rally, every one watched the retrieve closely. The trapping lads were 
as much interested as Winston himself. Thus it happened that No. 4 
trap remained unfilled when Count went to the score and called 
'Ready, pull!' He killed the bird nicely. Winston turned toward the 
referee and said: 
" 'Mr. Referee, should not Count shoot at another birdf The rules 
call for five traps.' 
"The reply of the referee was: 'Yes, they do call for five traps, and 
technically you are right. As it is the referee's business to see that 
the traps are filled, I fail to see how I can penalize the shooter for the 
fault of that ofllcial.' The bird, having been killed, was scored a 
credit for Count." 
As in all similar cases, so in this one, we say that it was a no bird, 
and that Count should have been made to shoot at another bird from 
five mik7wwn traps. We think the error in judgment in the decision 
quoted above lies In putting the duties of a referee, specially referred 
to in the A S. A. rules, above that duty which is not speeifieally men- 
tioned, but which is just as surely his, viz : the interpretation of those 
rules It is perfectly true that the rules say (Rule 2): ''The referee 
shall see that the traps are properly set at the beginning of the match 
and kept in order to the finish, and that they are kept properly filled, " 
It is "^Iso perfectly correct that the rule says nothing about the inter- 
pretation of the rules; but if the referee is not to interpret them, 
who is? 
Rule 4 says: "* * * All traps must be filled before the shooter 
calls 'Pull.'" As we look upon that rule, it is just as incumbent on 
the shooter at the score to see that the traps are properl^f filled as it 
is the duty of the referee. Arguing on that line, we would say that 
had Count lost that bird he would have had to abide by the result of 
the shot; the principle is on all fours with the Hurllugham rule (No. 
22): "Should any member kill a bird at a distance nearer than that 
at which he is handicapped, it shall bs scored no bird, but should he 
miss, a lost bird." The advantage to a shooter iu having to cover 
only /our loaded traps as against five, especially if the empty trap is 
an outside one, is surely as great as shooting from a mark closer to 
the traps than his original distance. 
In the Winston-Count case, above quoted, the referee does not seem 
to have realized that he was actually penalizing Winston by giving a 
decision favorable to Count. Quoting the referee's own words; "As 
it is the referee's business to see that the traps are filled, I fail to see 
how I can penalize the shooter for the fault of that ofllcial." As we 
look at it, the shooter was just as much to blame as the referee, 
under Rule 4, A. S. A., and he should have be in penalizad for hia own 
fault. 
Take it another way: Suppose the referee's decision in the Winston- 
Count case was allowed to stand as a precedent, Ic would be possible 
for a shooter by collusion with a trapper to get only four unknown 
traps some time or another, just when he needed a bird badly per- 
haps. With all due deference to the referee, who is a gentleman of 
considerable experience in the character of a referee, vye must stste 
that in our opinion his view of the matter was erroneous, his reason- 
ing fallacious and iiia decision bad law.

Growth of the Tourist System. 
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company, through its personally con- 
ducted tourist system and the unexcelled standard of high service, has 
won an enviable record for itself. These tours have grown to be thor- 
oughly appreciated in this age of luxurious travel, and the series an- 
nounced for the season of '96 and '97 admirfibly illustrates the progress 
of the times. 
First comes a series to the Golden Gate, starting from New York, 
Philadelphia and Harrisburg, Jan, 27, Feb. 24 and March 27. Tourists 
will travel by superbly appointed special trains of Pullman compart- 
ment, drawing-room sleeping, dining, smoking and observation cars, 
under the supervision of a Tourist Agent and Chaperon, 
Next in importance comes a series of four to Florida — Jan. 26, Feb. 
9 and 2.3, and March 9. The first three admit of two weeks in the 
sunny Houth, while tickets for the fourth tour are good to return by 
regular trains until May 31. 
A serie-i of short tours to Washington from New York. Philadelphia 
and adjacent points will be run on Dec. 29, 1896; Jan. 21, Feb. 11, March

Water Tube Boilers. 
The Roberts Safety Water Tube Boiler Co. was incorporated Nov. 
1, 1890. It has built nearly 900 boilers, ranging from those suitable 
for small launches up to installations of nearly 2,000 horse power in 
one vessel The capital stock of this company is $350,000, and the 
sixth consecutive annual dividend of 10 per cent, was declared on the 
first day of this month by the Board of Directors, notwithstanding the 
fact that the last three years have been years of unusual business 
depression. It is claimed that the works of this company are larger 
than any other plant in the United States demoted exclusively to the 
construction of marine warer tube boilers. The tools are of the most 
modern type, nearly $.30,000 having ueen expended in adding to same 
during the past year. Although the Roberts Co. are the owners of a 
number of patents on water uoe bi^iiers, they have found that, all 
things being taken into consideration, the originil type gives the best 
saiisi action, with some sligat improvements in construction and 
material. — Adv. 
Hunting the Wild Goat. 
Thk white goat, or Rocky Mountain goat, as it is indiscriminately 
called, is a species of bis game rarely humed by sportsmen. This Is 
not so much because of tne difficulty of killing the animal, nor he- 
causa of its actual rarity. It is a stupid animal, easily shot when 
once found. Il is not, however, shot in the usual hunting grounds, 
as are bears, deer, elk, etc. It is remote from the common localities, 
but where found is in goodly numbers It ranges very high up in the 
mountains— above the limber Ime usually— among the rocks and cliffs. 
This requires great labor to get to it, but once there the hunter will 
get his game nine times out of ten. 
It you care to read of a goat hunt made in the Bitter Root Range in 
Montana, in the fall of 1895, send 6 cents to Chas S. Fee, General Pas- 
senger Agent, Northern Pacific R'y, St. Paul, Minn , tor "Wonderland 
'96," which recounts such a naming expeaiclon.— 4dv.
