FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Dec. 12, 1896. 
The'shoot for the Recreation cup takes place at Hackenaack, N. J., 
on Saturday next. The contest will be decided on the grounds of the 
Bergen County Gun Club, sweepstake shooting commencing at 10 A. 
M. As we understand it, the shoot for the cup itself will be com- 
menced about noon, but entries will be received later, the early entries 
shooting their strines of 100 targets whenever the management deems 
it fit to start so that the shoot can be over by 4 o'clock at the latest, 
It will be well to make sure of closing all scores before it gets too dark 
to see targets properly, and that hour comes quite early at this time 
of the year. 
J. O'H. Denny and his brother, Frank Denny, both well known to 
shooters as capable representatives of western Pennsylvania, sailed 
from New York on Saturday last. December 5, their destinailon being 
the south of France, where they 'propose spending the winter and 
some of the spring months. The Monte Carlo shooting grounds will 
be trodden by them many a time before they see Pittsburg again. 
Paul North is tickled nearly to death, and the reason is not far to 
seek. Oscar Ouessaz writes to say that at the Midwinter shoot next 
January the management has decided to throw their bluerock target g 
from magautraps. Paul savs that this is a straw that shows the di- 
rection of the wind, and adds that that straw has no connection with 
the proverbial "last straw in the earners back racket." 
The Cobweb Gun Club, of New York city, claims the week com. 
mencing March 13 (the week of the Sportsman's Exposition in Madl 
son Square Garden) as the dates for its second annual live-bird and 
target tournament. One of the chief attractions will be the Cobweb 
Handicap at live birds, a purse of $500 being guaranteed by the club. 
The Limited Gun Club, of Indianapolis, Ind.. announces that it will 
hold a big tournament at live sparrows January 14-15. In another 
column we give a communication on the subject from Secretary 
Boyal Robinson, which we cotntnend to the notice of all the Eastern 
men who purpose attending the San Antonio Midwinter tournament. 
In their match at Omaha, Neb., on Thanksgiving Day, both Elliott 
and Parmelee used S'^'lrs. of E, C. powder. The scores made on 
that day of 92 and 91, Parmelee leading by one bird, were decidedly 
good, as there was a strong wind blowing, with the thermometer be- 
low zero. 
If you have any fault to find with the proposed new rules for target 
shooting, don't be backward about telling us so. We won't get mad 
and are only desirous of getting honest criticism that will help us 
to frame rules that will be somewhere in the neighborhood of perfec- 
tion. 
Thursday of this week (December 10) will see a shoot at Zwirlein's 
grounds. Yardville, N. J. There will be a 20-bIrd race, $15 entrance, 
handicap rise, as a chief attraction. Should the day be wet the shoot 
will take place on Friday. 
Myles Johnson was on hand at the Trenton shoot last week, Mylea 
has been a well-known figure at New Jersey shoots for many years, 
and bids fair to sen many another shoot before we lose him. What he 
doesn't know about pigeons is scarcely worth knowing. 
Pete Murphy, of Philadelphia. Pa , is quite a live-bird shot, but he 
stacked up against a big something when he tackled John L. Brewer 
at his own game— gun belo w the elbow, use of one barrel only— on 
Wednesday last, Dec 8, at Trenton, N. J. 
Jack Winston, the 147 of the Austin Powder Company, left New 
York for Chicago on December 7. His match with George Roll, of 
Blue Island, 111., for the Du Pont trophy takes place at Watson's 
Park, Deceniber 15. 
Elmer Phaner will be in the city next week tor the purpose of 
attending the annual meeting of the Interstate Association. Next 
year's programme will be the main topic of conversation at this 
meeting. 
Seth Clover and A. P. Pope (Epop) are going to manage a live-bird 
shoot to be held at Erie, Pa., some time during the month of January 
Dates will be chosen and will be announced in our column of Fix- 
tures. 
The Walsrode Gun Club, of Newark, N. J., is planning a big shoot 
for Christmas Day. Both live birds and targets will be used. 
Dkc. 8. Edward Banks- 
Cook County League. 
Chicago, HI., Dec. S,— A directors' meeting of the* Cook County 
League was held November 30 for the awarding of the season's prizes. 
As the club totals, totals of each individual, percentages, etc., were 
fully published in Foekst and Stream at the closing of the last shoot, 
it is, in a sense, repetition to print them again, but mention of the 
different items of the long list "f merchandise prizes may again bring 
to mind the attractions offered by one of the most ambitious local 
trap-shooting organizations of the country. 
Dr. 8. Shaw, who shot in the B class, made the hiehest scores of 
any individual in the association, and his winnings were the most 
considerable. The writer happened to be in the gun store of '5''on 
Lenserke & Antoine when Dr. Shaw called to tske down a few of his 
prizes. He had upon the counter a fine Elliott model Winchester 
repeating shotpun. a handsome L C. Smith ejaelor hammerlesg shot- 
gun and a fine Remington breech-loading shotgun, all beautiful arms 
in their way. These Dr. Shaw was sending by express to Florida, 
whither he departs soon for an extended shooting trip. 
The annnal meeting of the League will be held Monday, Dec. 7. and 
at it plans for the future will he taken up. 
The psrcf ntages of the winning teams were: Class A— Eureka 79" ,3,

"Learning Something Every Day.** 
Manjt centuries ago the Latin poet Horace, if our memory does not 
fall us, wrote the above phrase when he was probably feeling good 
over a bottle of Falernian wine, and had reached that stage when he 
was at peace with all men, and was willing to acknowledge that he 
did not know everything— something that it is very hard for some of 
us to own up to. We take off our hat to Horace for thus openly con- 
fessing that he, even at his age, was still "learning something every 
day." 
As a natural result of the articles which appeared In our issues of 
Nov. 14 and 88 on the decision of the referee in the Wlnston-Langen 
match, we have listened to a good deal of conversation on the subject. 
One point that particularly struck us in many of these conversations 
was the very general impression that prevailed that so long as a man 
had no chance to win, he shoulfl therefore have no chance to lose. It 
sounds all right, and in Shooting and Fishing of Dec. 3 we are told 
that this is 
"a Rtn-B OLD AS IBM HILLS." 
We quote from that issue: "Regarding that decision, there are two 
points which have not yet been mentioned, but which have direct 
bearing upon the matter. The first is: Suppose Count, had missed 
that bird and had then turped and claimed another bird to shoot at 
because one of the traps was not filled. Would it have been Just to 
allow him another chance? He had shot and lost. Should he have 
been given a second opportunity, virtually then shooting at 101 birds 
instead of 100? I fancy that his opponent, Winston, would have been 
the first to oppose the claim on the gr'^unds that he had shot and lost. 
Had he so missed, the referee would have decided 'lost bird' without 
hesitation. It is a rule old as the hills that if a man cannot win, he 
cannot lose. 
"Upon asking one individual whether he would have claimed that 
Count should shoot at another bird had he missed, the reply was, 
'Most certainly not; it would not have been to Winston's advantage to 
make such a claim. If the referee had decided lost bird, as he would 
most certainly have done, why should Winston have asked for a 
change of that decision? He has some sense.' " 
For information we now quote: 
Hurlingham Rules (Rule 33). — Should any member kill a bird at a 
distance nearer than that at which he is handicapped it shall be scored 
no bird, but should he miss, a lost bird. 
Gun Club (London) Rules (Rule 20).— Should any shooter shoot at a 
distance nearer than his proper distance, the bird if killed Is "no- 
bird;" If lost, a "lost bird." 
The Interstate Association's rules for live-bird shooting, the rules 
under which the Grand Ameriean Handicap is shot, do not govern 
this point at aU. merely stating what shall be the referee's decision 
in cases where a shooter shoots from a mark "exceeding his proper 
handicap." 
American Association rules make no provision at all for deciding 
what shall be done when men shoot from wrong marks, whether 
nearer to the traps or further away from them. 
There is an analogy between the case where a man shoots from only 
four traps instead of from five, and the case where a man handi- 
capped at 30yds. steps up and shoots from the 28yd. mark. In the 
latter case he cannot win, but he can lose, and the principle that in- 
spired that rule is also "old as the hUls." viz., equity. He Is taking an 
advantage that is not warranted, and therefore he must not be 
allowed to profit by the result of the shot; on the other hand, if he 
cannot kill the bird when he is closer to it than if he had stood at his 
proper handicap mark, it is only fair to presume that he would have 
missed it standing where he should have stood. The line of argu- 
ment adopted by the writer of the paragraphs quoted above is actu- 
ally funny. How could Count, after having had the advantage of 
four traps instead of five, ask for another bird supposing he had lost 
under such circumstances ? 
In the criticisms which appeared in our issues of Nov. 14 and 28 we 
made no effort to quote anybody's ideas on the subject, leaving it to 
the public to decide the matter to its own satisfaction from the 
referee's statement of the case, quoting his own words, and giving 
our interpretation of the rules as we saw them. We considered our 
case strong enough to rest it without calling in outside testimony as 
to what was proper under the circumstances. "The other side," how- 
ever, has quoted one or two opinions favorable to Its side, among 
them the opinions of Fred Hoey and Leonard Finletter. Mr. Hoey's 
view of the case may be briefly disposed of by quoting again from 
Shooting and Fishing of Dec. 8: "Fred Hoey then stated that in no 
other way could a decision have been given ; that it came under the 
same head as where, upon the shooter calling pull, two traps were 
opened and two birds were released. The shooter could claim a balk 
or he could shoot. If he did shoot he had to abide by the result, 
whether the bird was missed or killed. This was the only analogous 
thing to which the matter could be compared." 
Mr. Finietter's opinion is given in the following paragraph: "The 
subject was brought up by Leonard Finletter, the crack shot of the 
Rlverton Gun Club, and one of the best known lawyers of the Quaker 
City. He came up to the writer and stated that in his judgment the 
decision was an eminently proper one; that be was present, and under 
the circumstances as he saw them could not see how any other de- 
cision could have been made." Borrowing a phrase from the writer 
of the article in Shooting and Fishing of Nov. 19, we would like to 
add: "Why not be fair and state" that Mr. Finletter was not only 
present at the time, but was actually Count Langen's handler in the 
match, and that therefore his opinion as stated above must be taken 
as an ea; par statement. And this we s«y without in the least im- 
pugning Mr. liMnletter's good faith on this question; it only goes to 
show how differently people view the same matter, a very good thing, 
by the way, for lawyers, whether Philadelphia lawyers or members 
of the bar resident in other cities. 
On liOnsr Island. 
CONEY ISLAND ROD AND GUN OLTO, 
Dec. S.— The monthly shoot of the Coney Island Rod and Gun Club 
held this afternoon at Dexter Park was another red-letter day for the 
veteran Uncle Billy Hughes, who, despite his more than three score years 
and ten, caroled off pretty nearly everything in sight, scoring 15 straight 
before dropping a bird, and winning the club shoot with a clean score 
of 10 kills to his credit. The scores were: 
HKnebel, Jr. (30)..,.1112111— 7 0 John Schliemann (28). 3220111— 6 1

As will be noticed, Hughes, W. K. Rial, Henry Knebel, Jr., and Dr. 
Van Ord tied for the badge; on the shoot-off Hughes won with 3 
straight to Knebel's 2. Rial's 1, and Van Ord's 0. In a S bird sweep 
first money went to Hughes and Rial with 3 straight. In another of 
the same kind the scoi-es were: Van Ord 3, Rial and Hughes 2 each. 
CBESCENT GUN CLtTB.

HAPPY DAYS GUN CLUB. - 
Dec. i.— The Happy Days Gun Club held its monthly shoot to-day at 
Woolsey's Point, L. I. 
Our novice, Gus Moyer, with his Francotte gun, which he used to- 
day for the first time, made some elegant kills, especially the last two, 
both very fast out-goers to the left; each one was missed with the 
first barrel, but his second dropped them all in a heap within a 
yard of the boundary linn.

along in the main event at 25 targets, while F. A. Thompson, a mem- 
ber of the Vernon Bod and Gun Club, of Brooklyn, toot part In the 
sweeps as a guest of the club. Although Mr. Bennett was not on top 
in the club shoot, losing 5 out of 25 in that event, he was well to the 
fore In the other sweeps, scoring 46 out of 50, and totaling in all 88 out 
of 75 shot at during the afternoon. The club shoot, so far as Class A 
was concerned, went to M. Van Brunt, who scored 22. Dr. Pool was

A Sparrow Tournament at Indianapolis. 
Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 5.— We hope to make up a special carload 
of shooters for the San Antonio midwinter shoot, or, failing in that, 
to have enough to make a strong addition to the Eastern contingent 
on Its way thither. As a means of getting shooters from this terri- 
tory together, we will have a sparrow shoot Jan. 14 and 15, and we 
suggest to our Eastern friends that Indianapolis is just the place to lay 
and break the monotony of a long journey. We promise them and 
others sport such as they can get nowhere else. Freshly caught birds, 
handled and trapped by Mr. W. T. Hill, the only sparrow expert, will 
try the skill of the best, and should be a welcome change to those 
surfeited with target and pigeon shooting. 
We combine the rapid-fire system with unknown traps, and Shoot 
sparrows as fast as some clubs do targets.

Joplin Gun Club. 
JoPLiN, Mo., Nov. 25.— The following scores were made in the last 
shoot for the old medal: Taylor Cox 99, 0. Sumner 90, Sergeant 90, 
Leeman 89, E. Webster 87. 
To-day we started in on a new medal which is held subject to chal- 
lenge. The first shoot for it resulted as follows: Cragin 95. Leeman 
88, Cox 87, Webster 87, Sergeant 86, Sumner 85. A second contest re- 
sulted as below: Sergeant 92, Cragin 90, Leeman 89, Cox 86, Webster 
86 
j. Alexis Cragin distinguished himself by smashing 95 of the first 
100 targets. Alexis is made of the right sort of material and only 
wants more practice to become one of the best target shots in the 
country. Leeman and Sumner, of Galena, Kan., who shoot regularly 
with the Joplin Gun Club, are always found in the front row and are 
both royal good fellows, and without their presence no shoot in this 
neck of the woods is complete. Taylor Cox, the one-armed shooter, 
was not in his usual good form to day, he having broke 99 out of 100 
targets shot at last week. Webster, who furnishes the boys with 
their ammunition, is now shooting regularly and is rapidly coming to 
the front as a target shot. Every shooter on the ground used Du 
Pont in a Smokeless shell. 
We have several shooters here who will attend the midwinter and 
are anxiously awaiting announcement of dates. W. Q. SsaaEANT,

Cobweb Gun Club. 
New York, Dec. 3. — The regular monthly class shooting of the Cob- 
web Gun Club at live birds was held to-day at Baychester. The day 
was a beautiful one, but the atmosphere was raw and cold; but this 
had no effect whatever upon the results, as you will observe from the 
phenomenal shooting of Messrs. P. F. McKeon, Grant Nichols and 
Daniel Brady, of Class A. Too much cannot be said of their shooting, 
as McKeon killed 26 straight, Nichols 25 straight and Brady 15 straight. 
From the score of the miss-and-out shoot-off in this class it might be 
supposed that the birds were slow and easy; on the contrary, they
