is that a canoe 16ft. long, 30m. beam, 13in. deep and weigh- 
ing not less than 501b3. would be a auilable standard for the 
Association to adopt, I would suggest that all paddling 
races, except of course war canoe races, be limited to the 
Standard canoe. If this were done I feel confident that the 
number of entries for the paddling races at the meets would 
at least double, and the interest and competition be much 
keener. Some may be of the opinion that the trophy pad- 
dliDg should not be included in ibis limitation, but it to my 
tnind is the very race that should be open to all. Eveiy in- 
ducement should be offered to increase competition in what 
ought to be the most important event of the meet. I have 
been in this race at each meet for the past five years, and 
with the excepcion of last year, when it was won on its 
merits, it has usually been a competition of canoes and not 
men. Not only that, but the number of entries in each year 
has been absurdly small. In 1895 Mr. R, O. King was the 
only member who had a canoe in ca up, and his was conse- 
quently the only entry up till the last moment, when other 
arrangements were made to prevent the event being declared 
off for the year, . . 
A race for a mile with canoes of the above description, 
with double blades, would be a splendid contest and would 
be an event which would have many competitors at an 
A. 0. A. meet, I think it must be admitted that the paddhng 
races at the meets have not been wiiat they should be, and 1 
therefore suggest this change as a remedy.

Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club. 
OuB San Francisco correspondent-Roeel— under date of Dec. 14 
sends us the following clipping from a local paper, giving the detads 
of the year's work of the Uolumoia Pistol and Rifte Club, of that 
''^^^early all of the prominent rifle shooters in this vicinity were at 
the Shell' Mound Range yesterday. With them were dozens who are 
not in the front row, but who are nevertheless enthusiasts in this line 
of sport, and the five rifle, pistol and military targets were kept on 
**^"'^he^Cokirab& Pistol and Rifle Club held its last contest of the 
year for the club's class medals, buttnere be one more contest 
on the 27th inst. for the re entry or all-comers' medals On that date 
the season's sport will conclude with a team shoot, rifle and pistol, 
in which all members will participate, to be followed by a banquet at 
Capt Siebe's, at which all the prizes will be di-tiibuted. As stated, 
the winners of the class medals were decided at the contests yester- 
day D. W. McLaughhn won the champion class rifle pr ze, bis best 
four scores for the year bemg (Columbia target): 52 52 m 5(i 216. 
F O Young missed by 2 points, his total score being 218. In the 
first class F. E Mason captured the medal with (6 74 BO 82 308 He 
was closely followed by H. R. Crane with 31L and A. B. Dorrell wuh 
.S18. E Jacobson won the second class medal with 70 76 79-297. 
ilis closest competitor was J. E. Gorman with 320. 
Mr Uorman, however, consoled himself, for he won the champion 
pistol medal with 37 i9 42 4^—163. A. H. Pape was only 10 pomis 
behind or 178, and F.O.Young made 186. To a score of SO in 10 
shots made four months ago, A. B. Dorrell is indebted for the first 
class pistol prize. His best four scores were 30 4a 55 59—193. It was 
expected that Dr. L. O. Rodgf rs woiUd secure that prize with 45 50 
50 50—195, but Dorrell's 30 put the latter too far aheaa. E. Jacobson 
was the fortunate winner of the second class pistol medal wiih 55 
59 66 65—245. G. M.. Bailey for a time had a chance to win on 263 
All day yesterday there was a red hot fight on for the Unfred dia. 
mond medal. As it stands at present. Adolpb Strecker leads with 9o 
points in ten 3 shot scores. U. VV. McLaughlin stands 98, having re- 
duced his total 8 points. F. O. Young is 99; he reduced his total 7 
points. In the Qlindemann mihtary musket contest Young leadt with 
4a6 points (Creearaoor count) in 10 scores of lO shots each; he gained 
3 points yesterday. E. Hovey follows with 461, having gained 1 point 
on a score Of 46. , , 
The race in the .22cal. rifle 5 shot contest on the 50yds. range lies 
between E .Jacobson and Hovey. Jacooson forged ahead for awhile 
yesterday on 2 points, but Hovey brought the situation back to ^ 
pomts in his favor on an 8. His total is 90, and Jacobson's 92. A hard 
fight is being made lor the all-round medal for pistol, rifle and mus- 
ket presented by Capt. L. Siene, In this Young is in the lead by sev- 
eral points, but it is nobody's victory yet.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
The Boiling Springs Gun Club, of Rutherford, N- J., at its monthly 
business meeting, held in the clubhouse; on Saturday last, Jan. a, 
aecided to give a testimonial to Nea f Apgar as a send-off in his new 
career as a represeniativo of the Austin CartridK'^ Company, and as 
some return for ibe work done in behalf oE the club by Neaf in past 
years Alter a short discussion the club decided that tne testimonial 
Should take the following form: The clubhouse, traps and targets 
of the Boiitng Springs Gun Club to be tenaered.to Neal, tree of all 
charge, for tue pm-pose of holding an all-day open-io-all shoot on 
those grounds. The date selected for the shoot was Jan. 16. It is 
hoped by the club that all Neaf's many friends m the neighboring 
clubs wiU respond by putting in an appearance, thus helping ttj 
make the affau- the success it should be. A popular programuie will 
be gotten up, but all sweeps wiU be optional, anyoody that wants to 
do so being permitted to shoot along "for the birus." Remember the 
date— Saturday, Jan. 16. 
Louis Schortemeier was the victim of an accident on New Year's 
Day that might have resulted very seriously. He was shooting live 
birds at Dexier Park when the right barrel of his gun burst a tew 
inches beyond the end of t:ie chamber. The barrel burst on the 
inner side, nest to the rib, breaking the fore end into several pieces 
and tearing the rib ofE bodily, throwing it high in the an- and de- 
positing it in the snow about 45ft. away from the score. The force of 
the explosion .-jarred ofl' the second barrel. A pretty long scratch on 
his lefD wi'ist, evidently caused by a si.liniered piece ot tue fore end, 
and several measle-like spots on the same wrist and on the ball of the 
thumb, due to powder blown into the tlesh, show what a narrow 
escape he had. From the nature of the explosion and the location ot 
the fracture, Schorty says ne is satisfied that there was an obstruc- 
tion in the right barrel at the time the gun was fired . 
In addition to running the big shoot at Hot Springs, Feb, 8-20, John 
J. Sumpter, Jr., will have something to do with the running of Hot 
Springs township for a short time at least, judging from the follow- 
ing from the Hot Springs Morning Sentinel ot Dec 16: "Gov. Clark 
yesterday appointed John J. Sumpter, Jr., to flU the office of con- 
stable of Hot Springs township Cor the unexpired term, which 
vacancy was caused by the death of Allen P. Davis. Mr. Sumpter is 
well qualiflfd to fill the position, and there is no doubt but tnai his 
appointment will meet with hearty approval. The new constable 
feels highly honored by the appointment, as tnere were a number of 
aspirants to the office who were gooa men and had strong influences 
to oack them up. Mr. sumpter wdl enter on his duties as soon as he 
receives his commission trom the county juuge." 
"A chip of the old block." Elmer Shaner's father— we know him 
best under his title of Pap Shaner— is a man that is as fond of a gun 
as anybody among tue snooting fraternity of Pittsbm-g, Pa. Tuen 
comes Elmer himself; a few years ago there were very few men who 
could down him at the "onc-man-up" style of shooting. And now 
comes the third generation— Reed Shaner, Elmer's son, a boy of fif- 
teen, who made his debut at the traps the other day, firmg at targets 
for the first time, and using his father's gun. He didn't oisgrace 
the name, as he broke somewhere in the neighborhood of 60 or 65 
per cent. 
Frank Butler says that while bunt ng quail in Arkansas he learned 
a new name for a hamme.'-less gun. It happened that while he, Mi-s. 
Butler (Annie Oakley) and a party of friends from Hoc Springs 
were out after quail, a sudden thirst overtook ihem. To queucn it 
the party stopped at a negro's caoia and asked for a drink of spring 
water. When the water was brought, Mrs. Oakiey laid her gun on 
the ground the better to manipulate the d l inking gourd, A liitle col- 
ored ooy who came out of the cabin walked around the gun twice, 
and tnen called out: '-Pop, see! Dis yer lady's got one of dem un- 
seenless hammer guns:" 
Jack Winston is in the city again and will make things lively for a 
week or two, prior to starting south for San Antonio and Hot 
Springs. His match with George Mosuer for the Du Pont trophy was 
to have come off on saturaay, Jan. i6, at Charlie Zwirlein's; owing to 
the shoot at Boding Springs on that dace i^the Apgar snootj,the 
match will be shut early ths succeeding week. George Mosher, who 
was in town on Monday, says that he intends to oe present at Clover 
& Pope's tom'nament at Mas-asaugua Point, Erie, Pa., and also at 
the Audubon Gun Club's shoot, in Bufi'alo. 
Justus von Lengerke has gotten back from England, where he has 
been for a few weeks on business. While there ue managed to mix 
in a little pleasure wiih business, ana had a tasie of some of the good 
game shooting to be found m the British Isles. He brought hack 
some specimens of the game he killed, among them some ot the Eng- 
lish woodcock. Although they had been on the ice about a fortnight, 
they weigheo close on to a pound apiece when tried on the scales in 
the Murray street store. As for the shooting itself— he wants more 
of it, 
Ben O. Bush, of Kalamazoo, Mich,, is in the city for a few days. 
He has just patented a new kind of shell, the special features of 
which may be of iniei est to those who shoot ducks and geese in 
damp weatner. As we understand it, Busn deposits a >ort of metal 
coveiing over the paper shell, thus making it te aliintents one of the 
old brass shells; the oeauiy of the whole thing is that this "brass 
shell" wfll crimp as perfectly ana as smoothly as one of the ordinary 
paper shells. 
The Garden City Gun Club, of Long Island, shot a race at targets 
on New Year's Day with a team or six men frorn the Crescent 
AtliTetic Club, of Brooklyn. The shoot took place at Garden City, 
the home team winning oy 6 targets. The teams were- Garden 
City Gun club— NicoU Floya, Jr,, (i. L. Hubbell, D. D. Breck, New- 
haii Lawrence, Alfred Lewis and J. R. Wooa; Crescent- D, Geddes, 
C. White, G. Notman, W. F. Sykes, A. B. Fish and G. Hegeman. 
The victory ot Col. Butler and W. H. Stafford over George Work 
and J. P. Knapp on Saturday last, Jan. on the Westminster Kennel 
CluD's grounds, is one of the great surprises of a year that is very 
young as yet. WorE and Knapp snot from the bOyds. mark, conced- 
ing their opponents 2yds. handicap. 
Ueorge S McAlpin is keeping up his good work bh live birds, and 
is not jeopardizing his chances at targets. McAlpin is probably tne 
best amateur five-bird shotm thiS part of the eounti-y jusCnow, have 
Ing come to the front very quickly. 
Charlie Floyd, the member of the New Utrecht Gun Club who won 
the Holiday cup tor the third and last time on New Year's Day, is 
One of the most consistenily good shots the club can boast of. He 
hasn't as much time to practice as many men nave, but he can give 
a good rustle lO many a man who shoots loO pigeons to his 1. 
WaUaoe Mdler, of Austin, Tex , has taken a leaf out of Capt, Bsrt- 
lett's book and has been snowing the boys down in the Lone Star 
State how to hanale a Winchester repeating shotgun. Judging from 
what some of the local reporters down there have said about him, 
WaUace is nothing less than a crackerjack at the exhibition busi- 
ness. 
Ool. T. A. Divine Is reported to be hard at work practicing on live 
birds, preparatory to coming North next March and carrying o£E the 
first prize m the Grand American Handicap. Noel Money is out 
authority for stating that Col. Divine has had his eye with him lately; 
pigeons that got away from him being few and far between. 
Seth Clover and A. P. Pope have gotten out a popular programme 
for their shoot at Blassasaaugua Point, Erie, Pa., Jan. 12-14. The 
shoot will be held under the auspices of the Erie Gun Club, but wdl 
be managed by the two shooiersmeniioned above. Both live birds 
and targets will be trapped. 
It has long been customary to refer to Ed Taylor, of the Laflin & 
Rand Powder Company, as "'The Old Refiable." Tom Keller denies 
Mr, Taylor's right to the above title on the grounds that he is now 
merel,y " A Peradvonture." 
On Saturday next, .Jan. 9, the second match of the Endeavor-Boil- 
ing Springs series will be shot on the grounds of the latter club, at 
Rtitherford, N, J. The first match was .shot at Marion, N. J., the 
Endeavorers lo.sing the match on their own grounds, 
Jim Elliott has taken his flight South, and the next we shall hear 
from him, after a brief stay at Kansas City, will be when he meets J. 
D. Gay at Louisville, Ky. Mr. (iay has a big contract on hand, not- 
withstanding his 2yds. the best of Elliott; .Jim will stand at dlyds.. 
Gay on the 29yds. mark. 
Nearly everv letter we get from our personal correspondents con- 
tains an item in regard to somebody or another going down to the 
Texas Midwinter. If half the people who say now that they wfll be 
there should show up at San Antonio on the aath of January, Joe 
George, Albert Steves and Oacar Guessaz wifl have their hands 
full. 
The classification and tournament committee of the Interstate 
Association will visit Dwyer's track at Elizabeth, N. J., and Daly's 
grounds at Eikwood Park on Thursday of this week (Jan. 7) for the 
purpose of cuoosing a location for the Grand American Handicap of 
1897. 
W. S. King, of Pittsburg, Pa., is shooting a very hot gait for an 
anaateur. Last week he shot a race with W. G. Clark, late of Al- 
toona, Pa., and won easily, his winning score being 94 out of 100. 
Clark scored 86. Out of the last 800 birds shot at by King he has 
scored something like 91 per cent. I 
Annie Oakley was an interested spectator at the EUiott-Fulford 
match on Dec- 31. Mrs. Butler is looking remi.rkebly wed, her so- 
journ in the South having driven away all traces of the severe strain 
she has been running under while with the Wild West show. 
Sandy McPherson, of Pittsburg, Pa., is another entry for the 
. Grand American Handicap. Pittsburg has the shooting fever very 
•severely, ana will be represented in the big event by the largest num- 
ber of shooters that ever came East trom that city. 
Don't forget that the Neaf Apgar testimonial shoot at Boiling 
Springs takes place on Saturday week, Jan. 16. Bring plenty of 
shells, as there will be lots of shooting for everybody.

Feekskill Gun Club. 
PEEKsmLL, N. Y., Dec. iS.— The Peekskdl Gun Club held its usual 
holiaay shoot to-day. The day was a beautiful one so for as weather 
was conceriied, about a toot of snow on tue ground and a smart 
northerly breeze that, together with the reflection of fight from the 
snow, made the shooting rather difflcuit. Among otner events was a 
contest for a sflver powder can containing 6ibs. of W-A smokeless 
powder, presented to the club ny the Lafim & Rand Co. It was shot 
for under the new ioRBST aud Stream rules as pubhshed week ne- 
lore last, and governeo oy the regular club handicap at unknown 
angles. The referee in this close and interesting event was Major 
W. H. Pierce, of red Irish setter tame, than whom there is no better 
nor more successful ruffed grouse hunter m the State of New York. 
Dr. Mason won the can by the smallest margin, as the following

Ironton Gun Club. 
Ironton, O,, Dec. 25.— One of the most enjoyable shoots I ever at- 
tended was held on the grounds of the ironton Gun Club tb-day. 
Only a few shooters were out there, but those few had lots of fun. 
The members of toe Ironton Gun Club object as a rule to shooting 
for money, and in consequence have no more sport. Dupuy's shoot- 
ing was remarkably good, considenng his condition; he has been 
sick for two years, anu uas fallen otf from 1751bs. to 126ibs, Nigh 
did much the best work as regards qaicKness, the first t>arrel doing 
the work, the second not being really needed when used. The scores
