The Grand Prix at Monte Carlo. 
At the present time, when the shooters of the United States are 
thinking about the comiDE Grand American Handicap, a few facts 
and figures about the twenty-sixth annual Grand Prix at Monto Carlo, 
shot Feb. 1 and 2, will be of more than ordinary interest. As told in 
last week's issue, the winner was an Italian, Signer G. Qrasselli, who 
won out in the shoot-ofif, miss-and-out, with ten other competitors. 
The condit'ons of this great event are given again for the better un- 
derstanding of the manner in which the event was shot: 
"Grand Prix du Casino of £8C0, added to a sweepstakes of £3 each; 
second received £160 and 25 per cent, of the entries; third, £80 and 
25 per cent.; fourth, £40 and 15 per cent.; 4 birds at 26 meter.*, 8 at 
27 meters; the winner in 1896 to stand back 2 meters, previous win- 
ners 1 meter; three misses to put out; 118 subs. 
Out of 118 entries there were nine who had previously won the 
Grand Prix: Mr. Roberts (1883), Baron de Dorlodot, Signer Guidicini 
(]8fi6, 1890, 1893), Count L. Gayoli (1891), Count Trauttmanadorfif (mi). 
Signer Benvennti (1895), and M. Journu (1896); while Count L, Gayoli, 
who divided second and third prizes last year with M. Scribor, and 
two of the three who shared fourth prize— Signor Calari and Signer 
OUva— were also among the competitors. 
Of the above number, therefore, M. Journu, last year's winner, had 
to stand back 2 meters, the other eight previous winners being peual- 
ized 1 meter. Four birds are shot at 26 meters, that is about 2t'.yds. 
14in ; the last are shot at 27 meters, or about 29J^yds. On such birds 
as they usually have at Monte Carlo, an addition of 1 meter is some- 
thing to take into consideration, while 2 meters is a heavy handicap. 
The boundary, which is a wire fence 40in, high, is 17 meters, or 18yds. 
2l}4in., in a straight line from the center trap. 
That the Grand Prix is gaining in popularity is proved by the fact 
that this year's entry list of 118 beats all previous records. Up to 
this year the entry list of 105 in 1895 was the record ; last year's list 
was 102. It seems to have been almost a matter of regret that the 
entries were so numerous, as the men who had to shoot toward the 
end of the list on the first day suffered a serious disadvantage in 
having to shoot in a poor light at the end of the 4th round. Four 
rounds only were decided on the first day, Feb. 1. The birds were 
"generally good, and there was just enough wind to help them, espe- 
ciaU.v on the first day." 
It is interesting also to note that the general average made on the 
718 birds shot at in this event was a fraction under 67 per cent.. ; <:37 
out of the 718 were scored "lost." (These figures are exclusive of 
the birds shot at in the ties.) This will be snecially astonishing to 
shooters of this country who are so accustomed to 25 straights. It is 
necessary to see the birds and grounds to properly appreciate the 
conditions. 
On the first day the three first rounds were shotwiih 113 men 
on the list; but the 4fh round, also shot on that day, had only 81 
shooters, 37 having dropped from the list, either under the rule of 
8 misses out, or retiring to facilitate matters with 3 misses against 
them. In the 1st round 89 of the 118 lost their birds; in the 2.1 round 
there were 41 lost birds, and 42 in the 3d round. In the 4th round 26 
of the 81 still in lost their birds, 13 of that number retiring from the 
contest, leaving 68 to continue the shoot on the second day. 
When the 5th round had been shot on Feb. 2, 22 additional ciphers 
were added to the score out of the 63 shot at, and II more men 
dropped from the roll. This left 57 in for the 6th round, and in this 
roimd 18 lost birds were recorded, 13 names being crossed off the 
list in consequence. In the 7th round 12 more men retired, 16 out of 
the 44 shooters losing their birds. 
This narrowed thmgs down considerably, only 32 out of the original 
118 starters being in at the commenc-ement of the 8th round. In 
this round 10 lost birds were scored and five more names dropped 
from the list. The 9th round started with only twenty-seven shooters 
and only 7 lost birds were scored, but those losses were fatal lo the 
chances of six men, their names being taken from the list. This left 
only twenty-one to shoot in the 10th round. The birds about this 
period of the shoot were decidedly below the average, the corre- 
spondent for the London FieM stating in connection with this round; 
"The 10th round brought out twenty-one shooters, but of these Signer 
Sani was put out of court by a second miss, his bird (a quick rising 
one), going clean away, and his was the only failure, the birds still 
being so bad that little credit attached to the killmg of them. But 
Mr. Blyth, M. Moncorg^ and Count Trauttmansdorfl; had their work 
cut out for them, as they got birds of better quality than most of the 
others." 
In the 11th round, with only twenty lett in, 8 misses were recorded, 
as "the pigeons were much better." These 8 misses were fatal to the 
hopes of six men who were dropped from the list. The other 2 lost 
birds were scored to Mr. Izzard, an Bnghshman, who is said to be one 
of the best inanimate target shots in that country, and to M. Mon- 
corg6, a Frenchman; these misses Were their first, each having killed 
10 straight up to that roimd. 
For a description of the 12th round, in which only fourteen took 
part, we must again quote from the report of the London Field: 
•'The 12th round was entered upon with every probability that the 
flrstprize would, as last year, not fall into the ties, but that, just as 
M. Journu then killed 12 running, one or more of the four who had 
not yet missed would again bring down their bird. But a regular 
'funk' set in, for out of the first six who shot all but one missed, the 
failures including M. A. Poizat, to a bird flying low near the boundary ; 
Count Trauttmansdorff, whose bird, a rismg one, fell dead just over 
the rails; and Mr. fir.^kine. who failed to touch a low-flying bird from 
No. 4. Signor Dauielli had not yet shot, so he had only to kill for the 
prize to be his; but the emotion was, no doubt, too much for him, as 
he clean missed a very easy bird. The excitement which ensued 
may be readily understood, for, with these 4 misses, the 7 others who 
had only failed once came in again, and here we were left with 11 
good men and true who had killed 11 out of 12. They comprised 3 
English (Mr. Erskine, Mr. Izzard and Mr. Berridge), 4 Italians (Sig- 
nor J. Grasselli, Signor Riva, Signor G. Qrasselli and Signor Banielli), 
2 Frenchmen (M. Poizat and M. Moncorg6), a Russian (M. Horo- 
detzki), and an Austrian (Count Trauttmansdorfl;)." 
The miss-and-out to decide the contest was very short, Signor Gras- 
selli winning at the end of the 5th round as follows: 
Signor G Grasselli (first prize of £S03 and objet a'art) 11111—5 
Hon F Erskine (divided second and third prizes of £n2) 11110—4

A good idea of the excitement that prevailed at the close of the 
12th round wUl be gathered from the following from the London 
Field: "The twenty-sixth contest for the Grand Prix du Casino was 
brought to a close about 4 o'clock this afternoon, amid a scene of , ex- 
citement rarely if ever exceeded, for although up to the 12th round 
it did not seem probable that the competition would present any 
feature of exceptional importance, the collapse in that round of the 
four men who had alone killed all their 11 birds had an electrical 
effect upon the onlookers, and for a few moments the shooting was 
su.spended, people scarcely realizing what had happened, or what 
would now be the course of events. The effect of the startling col- 
lapse was of course to let in the seven others who had killed aU but 
1 and so the contest ended in a brilliant 'barrage' (as the French call 
the ties) among eleven of the 118 original competitors."

Signor G. Grasselli. this year's winner, is one of three brothers who 
have been shooting at Monte T'arlo, on and off. for several years, but 
he himself did not dis'inguish himself last .reason, though he killed 
82 pigeons out of 117 and accounted for five out of seven in the Grand 
Prix. 
The previous winners of the Grand Prix since its creation in 1872 are 
as und^r: 
187i. Mr. G. Lorillard <U. S.). 1885. M. L. de Dorlodot (Bel-

It will be seen that since its foundation the prize has been won ten 
times by the English (bu" not once sin''e 1889), eight tiaies by the Ital- 
ians, three tirnes b.y the Austro Hungarians, twice each by the French 
and the Belgians, and once by the Americans. 
Two other events were shot on Jan. 29 and Jan. 30 respectively. 
That on Jan. 29 was the 
SRANDB POtn-E d'essai. * 
For this event the number of entries exceeded all previous records 
for the same event. A total of 105 entries was obtained. The con- 
ditions were: Grande Poule d'Essai of £80 and a gold medal, added 
io a sweepstake of £4 each; second received £20 and 25 per cent, of 
the entries; third £12 and 20 per cent., fourth £8 and 15 per cent. ; 25 
meters, ties at 26 meter>--; 105 subs. 
Mr. Robinson, the Calif ornian, who finished 14th in the Grand Prix 
three days later, finished fourth in this event. The winners were: 
1st, M. Horodetzki, Russian gun and Schultze powder, £187; M. 
.Tournu. Purdev gun. French powder, and Signor Calari. Scott gun 
and Schultze, divided second and third moneys, a total of £321; Mr. 
Robinson. Smith pun and Schultze, won fourth money, £71. M. 
Horodetzki scored 13 straight; M. Journu and Signor Calari, 12 out of 
13; Mr. Robinson, 9 out of 10 
LA PRtX D'OTTVERTURE 
Was shot on Jan. 30. As in the Poule d'Essai, the number of entries 
beat the record in this event, 106 entries being on the list. As the 
scores of the winners are .something out of the way for Monte Carlo, 
it may be as well to quote from the London Field's report in regard 
to the quality of the birds trapped on this day : "The birds— which, 
as on Thursday, were English, and were trapped by Roberts— were 
(as a rule) good, and though the wind was not particularly strong 
they proved too good for a large proportion of the competitors, as 
may oe gathered from the fact that forty missed in the first round, 
twenty- four in the second, and twelve in the third; the 106 eomfeti- 
tors being thus reduced to thirty in a short space of time." 
The conditions were: Prix d 'Overture of £120 and a gold medal, 
added to a sweepstakes of £4 each; second received £30 and 25 per 
cent, of the entries; third, £30 and 20 per cent. : fourth, £10 and 15 per 
cent.; distance, 26 meters, ties at 27; 106 subs. 
Count Trauttmansdorff lost his bird in the 11th round sfter he had 
run 10 straight, thus leaving only four in for the prizes. These were 
M. Verdavaine, Mr. Mackmtosh (an Australian). Signor Calari and 
Signor Riva. Signor Riva lost his bird in the 16th round and took 
fourth money, £74. Signor Calari hung on to the 18th round, when 
his bird got away; he won third money, as on the previous day; his 
share was £105. Seven more rounds were needed before a de- 
cision was come to, M. Verdavaine and Mr. Mackintosh kiUing their 
birds until the 25th round. In that round the Australian lost his bird. 
This gave the gold medal to M. Verdavaine, the two shooters dividing 
first and second moneys, £341. 
The guns and powders of the winners were: M. Verdavaine, Purdey 
and E. C ; Mr. Mackintosh, Greener and Schultze; Signers Calari and 
Riva both used Scott guns and Schultze powder. 
Iieroy Gun Club. 
Lekoy, Pa , Feb. 12.— The members of the Leroy Gun Club had a 
little shoot this afternoon, ten shooters taking part in the five events 
shot. No. 1 was at 15 targets, 50 cents entrance; fij-st prize, a woollen 
sweater; second prize. Ho. can of King's Smokeless. A. Kelly won 
the sweater and C. McCrawey the powder. Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5 were at 
10 targets each, 50 cents entrance, two moneys. The scores show 
some improvement, and all the members seem to be interested in the 
sport. The club will hold monthly prize shoots.

boys what he could do with King's Smokeless. He broke 39 out of 
the singles and 45 out of the doubles. For the singles, the targets 
were thrown very hard; some low, some high, and up and down the 
screen. Scores:

On Feb. 23 B. F.Smith and C. E. Armstrong, of Troy, Pa,, will 
shoot a match at 50 live birds, $100 a side, loser to pay for the birds. 
Smith stands at 30yds., Armstrong at 28yds. The match will be shot 
at Troy, and will commence at 2 P. M. There seems to be quite a lot 
of interest taken in this match, and Armstrong, who is well known 
around here, appears to be the favorite in the betting. S, D. L.

Tbov, N. Y., Feb. 16.— Owing to the heavy snow and the unfavor- 
able weather only four members turned out to take part in the regu- 
lar monthly shoot of the South End Gun Club, of this city. The 
conditions of the contest for the gold badge are 25 targets per man, 
unknown angles, handicap allowances of misses as breaks. Capt. W. 
H. Jackson and J. E. Costello were scratch men and succeeaed in 
breaking 16 and 18 respectively. H. B. Tucker, with 3 misses as 
breaks, scored 19 in all. whUe J. Sholan, of Watervliet, with 6 misses 
as breaks, scored 16. Mr. Tucker thus won the gold medal. All four 
shooters exceeded their averages for 1896 and obtained one point 
each. The executive board of the club has decided to award prizes 
to the members getting the largest number of points in 1897. Scores 
were:

The Enoxville Gun Club. 
KNoxvrLLi;, Tenn., Feb. . 13.- The plan of our club contests for 1896, 
briefly stated, was as follows; The general average of each member 
of the club was determined from the preceding year. Taking this as 
each member'-^ basis of shooting, the club offered to each member 
one-half of bis target money in each club contest (consisting of two 
20-target events) if he equaled said average. If each or any member 
exceeied this average basis the club offered as a special premium a 
certificate of merit valued at 25 cents, and to be redeemed by the 
club at the end of the year. Said certificate was subject to challenge 
by any member holding a certificate. To win the same each contest- 
ant must exceed his average base, and failing in same they tied re- 
gardless of scores made. Under these conditions the following mem- 
bers were the winners of the club contests for the year ending Dec. 
31, 1896:

WOBKlNG FOB THE GAME AND FISH. 
The club has been very active during the last three years, working 
to educate the people to the proper understanding of game and fish 
protection. And to this end, that a fish hatchery has been loca'ed, 
about 100 miles from our city, convenientfor the distribution of game 
fish in the pure mountain waters of adjacent territory. Laws making 
dynamiting and fish poisoning a felony have been enacted after many 
hours of labor by the active and zealous members of the Knoxville 
Gim Club. 
The club also bought, April 10, 1896, ten hen and five cock ring- 
necked pheasants, pla.n<ing them out on a preserve of some 2,000 
acres. We have secured from the Legislature now in session laws 
Erotecting them against killing or capture for five years. The birds 
ave propagated freely and give indications of prolific breeding. 
The club also bought and liberated this month 200 live quail for re- 
stocking, so that the near future promises the members of the club 
the delights of the rod, dog and gun, such as but few are permitted to 
enjoy. This Legislature, we are now assured, will pass the non- 
export law, and prohibit the netting, trapping or snaring of quail. 
Much time, labor and zeal have been employed to accomplish such 
results, and we doubt not that the rewards for these endeavors will 
be rich when the good old dog makes a point.

, Glen Echo Gun Club's Shoot. 
EocKviLiiE,M:d-, Feb. 13.— The third day of the Glen Echo Gun 
Chib's tournament was the most successful of the shoot. The at- 
tendance was good, while a number of spectators were on the ground 
to view the shooting. Among those who took part were: Dr. Lupus 
and Charles Bond, of Baltimore; WilhamF Wagner, of Washington, 
etc. The shooting was hard, so high scores did not prevail, but were

Shooting at Memphis. 
Memphis. Tenn., Feb. 9.— Great interest in pigeon shooting is being 
manifested by members of the Memphis Gun Club. We are prac- 
ticing on the sly m the hopes that we may develop a Grand American 
Handicap winner before that important event occurs. Our old-time 
friend and genial sportsman, Irby Bennett, has been spending a few 
days with his Memphis friends, and we endeavored to entertain him 
with a live-bird shoot to-day, with following results: 
No. 1. No. 2. Ho. 3. No. 4.

No. 5 was a hiiss-and-out, 81 entrance. In this event Bennett, Cal- 
lendar, Graggs, Weaver and Porter all kJUed 3, and had to divide up. 
Robertson lost his first bird. 
Of the above events. No.. 2 was a team face; Poston, Duncan and 
Robertson shooting against the oUier three. Postou's team won by 
49 to 41. In the scores the second- barrel kills were not marked. 
We will have another shoot on Feb. 13, and will report results. 
Chief interest centered in the team race, which was thought to be 
about an even match, but the result was such as to fool the best 
posted. We have a number of good live-bird shots in Memphis, and 
can, we believe, make a good showing with any club in this section.
