The monthly shoot for the Portaste county (O ) championsbio E. O. 
Clip and thf handic p championship baHge wa< he'd at ibe Biy^nna 
Gun Club gromr^s on Tuesday, and wa<! a vpry infer. S"'ng affair, 
shooters from different parts of tTi^ co'nity eontestin^, some of tde 
new shooters makine it inferesHas for the older ones. These shoots 
are held on ihe second Tuesday of each month, and are at 50 tai-gets, 
unknown angles. The cup was donated by the E O. Powder Co., 
and the gold badge by a friend of the club Mingo, of Ea^enna, won 
the cup, score 47: Spiers, of Atwater, the handicap championship 
gold badge. Crail and Madone divided first purse, Kellogg won sec- 
ond, Schweitzer third. The contest wa* witne-^sed by a numder of 
people who swemed to enjiy tbe spor', and especially the marvelous 
ghooling nf George S. Paine. Mingo's load, score 47 dead, was .l^drs. 
of E. C powder. 
Tom Morfey. of Piterfon, N. .T., is doing some practice work on 
targets on t tie grounds of the Bergen County Gun Club a^ Hacken- 
sack. N J. MorPey i« fastcomingup in target shooting, and is harder 
to heat in a match than in a sweepstake. He w ill naturally "come 
on'" faster now than h'-retofore. a« he is getting more and more in^ er- 
ected in smisbing targets. His 91 out of ino on Feb. 1?, in a strong 
nor'easter, with sleet ■ nd snow to bother him. was a really good per- 
fnrrr>ance, particularly ss he shot an uphill race from s'art tn finish. 
GHfiflths. of the home club, gave him a hard tussle iraiil the last tar- 
get had been shot at. 
The And 'oscoggin Gun Club, of T.ewiaton, Mn., is a club of which 
■we and the readers of FoEEST AND Ptream hnve heard but little. 
The doings of thi' clnb will attra* t more attention from now on. from 
th" fact thatj tbe Ttiter<t;afe Association will eive a tournament at 
I.e'^istnn on Aug 4-5 next under the au^'pice* of the Androseosgia 
Gun Club. We publish this week a recori of tbe scores made b.y 
members of this club in a medal contest, a regular dub shoot of S5 
targets per man. A straight, one 84, two ?8s and a ^'2 is a pretty good 
record for any club to boast of The natives will evidently not be 
very easy when Aug. 4-1 comes on dect. 
We thouebt it was well understood that Capt. A. W, Money was not 
com ng back to this coun'ry until the mi.ldle of February at Ihe 
(earliest. We note conseqiientl,y with much surprise that one of our 
cotemporaries s'ates that, he' has returned and that be showed to 
great tidvan'age ov'"r the Elkwoood Pork trans im Saturday, F°b. 6. 
As a matter of fpct, it was Noel F. Money, "one of the *ioney Bros ." 
who was at Elkwood on that date, and who. with M. Herrington. of 
the W-A powder, divided the honors of the day. 
Elsewhere we give a review of the proeramme for tbe Grand Amer- 
ican Hanrtirap meeting at Elkwood Park. K J . March i. 3-95 We 
have extracted freely from the programme because it is all good 
rending, and besides being of interest to shooters and intending par- 
ticipants in tb" Grand American Handicap, is worth noting by rlub 
secretaries and others who care to study literature on toumatDents 
and how to get up a programme. We look upon this programme as 
the maste'piece of such efforts on the part of the Association. 
The Pennsylvan a and Ohio Border Gun L<iague, an organization

of S5. Dr. A H. Hoyt is the club's president; Guy H Hubba'd its 
secretary. The club has grounds for both rifle and shotgun, and 
commences life with bright prospects of success. 
From tbe communications we have rereived during the past three 
or four weeks, it looks as if every gun club of any size was goine to 
have an all day shoot on Monday nent. Washirgton's Birthday. 
Times may be fard. and the boys may not shoot quite as many shells 
away as they used to do, but when it comes to a holiday they'll all 
be there. 
We are making notes of the fixtures we announce, and also of the 
spaee we devote each week to running no*^s of coming shoots sent 
Tjs bv parties ioteres*ed in booming such affairs; we a'e also making 
notes of those who rememUer us when the shoot is over and our 
services no longer reeded. "We'll never tell," but — we'll do some

BRooEtrN arm club. 
Feb. 13.- So far as the weather was t oncemed. tbia was an excel- 
lent day for the iiiiial sboot of the newly organized Brooklyn G m 
Club, There were, however, t o many counter attractions 10-day for 
a la' ge attendance of shooters to be looUeii for In addition to this, 
there bad been a great deal of shooting around New York durmg the 
past week. Still a dozen shooters on hand insures a good afternoon's 
sport, and that was just what the boys had at the traps of theB'-ook 
lyn Gun Club. The traps worked well, and threw the targets "out of 
sight." It was real bard shooting, the targets flying far and fast, 
while the trappers lined tbem up and down the scteen in a way that 
made the shooting very difiicult. The dazzling whiteness of tbe snow 
under ihe rays of a hot sun caused temporary breaks in the shooting 
of many a man, and targets would occasionally steal a march on the 
bojs. The lav of Ihe ground, too, makes the shooting naturally 
harder than at most places: To the left it slopes off abruptly into a 
small sized ravine, while to the right it rises gen Iv ; right quart' rers 
seem to be rising fast, while lefr-quarterers appear to have a much 
flatter trajectory than thev reallv poss-^ss. Right quarterers were 
shot over and left-quarterers shot ^mder with a regularity that some 
of the shooters foui'd very depre-ssing. 
The shoot was run bv Messrs. John Wrigbr, Theodore Baron, and 
the club's secret ary , Eddie Morehouse. E ^ery thing went r ff smooth- 
ly not a hitch occurring anywhere not evfo in the ma'ter of luuch, 
the latter article disappearing with a smoothness and rapidity ibat 
showed anpreciation. Among tbe shooters wt-re N'-af Apiar. J. G. 
Grier, of Dunellen, N. J : Dick Phister (Woods). Plait Adams, Kd- 
ward McAdam. H. J. Knebel, Billy Mills. F. S. Edwards, etc. Team 
races and sweepstake shooting made up the programme for the after- 
noon, scores in the team races beirg as below: 
No. 1. team race, 15 targets, unknown angles: Edwards's team: 
Edwaids 12. Mills II. Baron 10, Woods 8—41. Apgar'S team: Apgar

Grier 13. N. Apgar 12, E McAdam 10. W. Milis 9, J. Wright 6 ."iO. 
A special feature of these team races was the way in which 
Nos 1 and 2 were decided, the boys naming tbem "FoRtcsTAUD Stream 
Bazzle Dazzles." The nay they were managed wds prot'uctive of 
much fun, nobody knowing on which side he was until the whole 
score had be< n shot out. Edwards and Apgar were chosen captains, 
and two numbers (1 and3) were put into abat, the captains rTawIng 
a number each without fhowing what they were. Slips numoered 
3 to 8 were then put into the hat, tbe other six shooters each drawing 
a number ard putting it into his pocket also without looking at it. 
As soon as Ihe scores bad been shot, a general "show up" followed, 
those having the numbers 1, 3, 5 and 7 being on one side, and Nos 3, 
4, 6 and 8 being on the other side. In each ease thelosiug side paid 
for the winners' targets. The c ther team races, Nos 3 and 4, were 
ordinarv "pick-upsides."

New Guns for Chicago. 
Chicago, III., Feb. 13.— Within the past month Louis Jordan, a ris- 
ing and alread.y popular gunmaker of this city, received from the old 
country a consignment of arms possessed of more than ordinarv in- 
terest to s-portsmfu. Of these guns there were twenty-four in all, 
most of tbem going out at once on special orders for which thev were 
made. At this writing only seven out of the twenty-four are left. Of 
the lot eight were fine ejectors, from $ 50 to %l' 5, many of these verv 
highly engraved and admirable specimens of the auumaker's art. 
Three of the guns were three-barrel arms, nfle and shot, the barrel of 
the rifle underneath. These were as p actical tnree-barrel guns as 
one IS apt to see, and the surprising thing is that they weighed not 
over t^^lbs. One of these was made for Dr. C. E. Fuller, ot this cuv, 
who is highly pleased )Vith the little gun. The other guns are $9i) 
or $100 grade guns, n'ot so highly flnisbed, but very attractive 
weapon .s. 
The interesting thing aV'Out tbe guns above mentioned is thfJr ex- 
treme lighinevg in « eight. I do not think a gun out of the twemy- 
four was so heavy as 7ibs . yr-t they are guaranteed to res'st any 
charge of tbe strbnaest nitro made, to any point possible in any 
other gun Thi* fact is due to the material used in the barrels the 
new material kno" n as 'he Krunp special steel, which in reports 
once printed in FoSest and Stream by Mr. Armin Tent er was shown 
to posf ess a smaular roughness and strength, combined with great 
lightnpiiK in bulk required to attain all the desired qualities of a per- 
fect uun barrel. Mr. Jordan, who has relatives In the great factories 
of Fr. Krupp in E sen, Germany, has been fortunate enough to 
secure the agency for AiTierica for these barrels, and already has 
had mary itiq'iities from gunmakers as we'l as individual sportsmen 
of this countiy. Should all continue to go well with Mr. ,lo'"dan, he 
should make a success of this new line of trade. He is a skil ed and 
artistic gunmaker himself, and receivfd the World's Fair diploma 
for hand made guns of highest excellence. 
Tbe puns shown in the Krupp barrels are delightfully neat and 
light. It seems the tendency of the day to u-ie lighter and lighter 
arms both in rifles and shotguns, and some of these little fellows 
were beauties. The Krupp barrel-^ are set on the bri^ech block in a 
peculiar wav It seems this metal " ill not stand brazing, so the bar- 
rels are set im the block by means of a dovetail joint of great strength 
and absolute riaiduy, solder only being us'^d to make tbe joint 
watertight. This arraogem-nt of the barrels gives a wide and 
strong look to the arm," which indeed is a sturdy weapon, light 
though it may be. In color the Krupp .steel is blue, unflgured, 
resembling the Crown steel or Whitwortb fluid steel in ap- 
pearance. Mr, Jordan ha=< had requests to fit such barrels on 
other actions, but rwing to tbe p-caliarity above mentioned of 
fastening on the barrels to the b-eech block, be does not counsel 
this, as the Job does not suit his eye when so made. Louis 
Jordan has long had a good clientage of his ow n in this city, but baa 
not thought upon eoing out of local trade so much until be was lucky 
enougb to make this arrangement for tbe agency f>f tbe Krupp steel 
barrel. I understand this came about through tbe fact that Louis 
Jordan bad an uncle at court. It is at times a very good thing to 
have an uncle As a matter of local pride. Chicago is-glad that Mr, 
Joroan had this uncle, and so brought to Chicago this interesting 
addition to the useful and beautiful improvements tbe sunmakers 
of to day are continually bringing forth tor those pampered beings, 
the; sportsmen. Mr Jordan had a regular lefee on the day " hen the 
guns were ut packed, h"s shop being filled with shooters admiring tbes 
new guns, which are something of a novelty here as yet.

young shooter of -.0. lbs , and carries a chip on his shoulder that cor- 
responds wlh his weigbf Some of the old heads tried to knock it 
off, but Davis has a nerve of steel and can point the gun like an ex- 
pert, puts up the money, smashes the targets, walks in and jW'6k3 up" 
the money, puts it in his pocket, and smiles

"sporting" news. ■ 
Chicago, Feb. IB.— Advice was piivately received in Chicago last 
Monday, beb. 8, that Mr. Daniel Stuari, a magrate of present resi- 
dence at Carson, Nev , where he contemplates holding at an early 
dare a carnival of slugging, in which Mr. Corbett and Mr FitzsimT 
mons will be leading actor.s, has just decided to give also a two days' 
tournament at pigeons, adding tbe neat sum of fi.O 0 to such sweep- 
stake money as fhall seem expedient for the shooters present. He 
expects to attract a great many prominent gentlemen shooters from 
Chicago. New Yoik and other large cities. This is pprhaps th-i first 
time on record when alive-bird tournannent and a prize fight have 
been adverdsed as joint atfactions. The juxtaposition even in the 
types will hardly please a great many who do not interpret the word 
"sport" perhaps quite as Mr. Daniel Stuart does. E. HotJGH. 
The last issue of Harper^ s WteMy contained some excellent repro- 
ductions of portraits Taken dming the recent Larchmont amateur 
championship sboot, Jan. i 9-30. Tbe positions at the score of both 
Murphy and 3Iftcalester are characteristic, while Dr. Wynn"8 picture 
shows him as he appeared lOii limes on tbe rwo days— just beiore he 
stepped to the scoie to shoot. There are a few remaiks in tbe .-ame 
paper regarding ttie shoot itself. The remarks are signed by Caspar 
Whitney. One of the criticisms passed upon the shoot is rather in- 
teresting. It runs thus: ''C'onsidering chat the prizes aparr from 
the cbampionsiiip trophy, were certain percentages of the sweep- 
stakes made up from taxing each entry SlOO, the average sportsman 
wUi be perplexed by t* e 'amateur' description of the affair. It is no 
clearer to me than it is ro him Ir in pigeon shooting men may com- 
pete for a purse and be called amafpuxs, it will be interestiag to learn 
what conditions describe tbe professional." It is always rasli to 
jump at a con'-lusion, but on this occasion the conclusion is forced 
upon us that Mr. Whitney has not only not studied the subject which 
be essays to criticise, but .is also palpably ignorant of what consti- 
tutes an amateur or a professional,.
