Club secretaries are invited to send their scores for puhlioatlon in 
these cohimns, also amy news notes they may care to have printed. 
Ties in all events are considered as divided unless otherwise reported. 
Mail all such matter to Forest and Stream PxMishina Company, 3U6

Secretary Charles Weeks, of the Canajoharie (N. Y.) Gun Club, 
writes that the Eastern New York Trap-Shooters' League will hold a 
tournament at Canajoharie under the auspices of the above-named 
club on May 31. All events will be at targets. 
Field Sports, one of Our cotemporaries that is doing its best for 
sport on the Pacific slope, makes a grave error in its issue of Feb. 30: 
"With the opening of the trap-shooting season there promises to he 
a very general revival in the use of hand-loaded shells The belief is 
growing stronger each year that the best results at the trap can only 
be obtained by the use of carefully hand-loaded ammunition. The 
experts have recognized tliis for several years,"and always go to the 
traps with shells of their own loading, or those loaded by some o'ne 
in whose care and precision they have unbounded confidence, and 
then- scores emphasize the correctness of their judgment." While 
the above might have been true a very few years ago, it is far from 
bPing correct for the condition of affairs at the present time. The 
experts are now to a very large extent using factory-loaded ammuni- 
tion, without any apparent diminution in their percentage of receipts 
from the purses." In the same issue of this paper is given a sample 
of Field Sports' score card. Rose system. It is a cleverly gotten up af- 
fair, being practically a cashier's card as well as a score card. Afoot- 
note states that "these score sheets may be used for either live-bird or 
bluerock scores, under the Rose system, the ordinary percentage sys- 
tem, or class shooting." The last three words, "or class shooting," are 
misleading, as the Rose system is only one of several schemes for di- 
viding purses in class shooting. All purses are divided under one of 
these two plans, high guns or class shooting. When it is class shoot- 
ing there are several ways of dividing the purses: the old and inequit- 
able system, the Ro.se system, Jack Rabbit, Pumphrey's system, etc. 
And the Rose system is the best of all, and keeps the boys shooting 
because it is equitable, reduces the winnings and losings, and prevents 
crooked worJr. Forest and Stream found Mr. Rose, and Mr. Rose 
found the system. Some people may not like the system, but you 
all know why that is. 
Mr. Edward C. Drawbaugh, of Shenandoah Junction, W. Va., writes 
under date of Feb. 22: "I inclose you a few items for your Drivers 
and Twisters column. There is a lively interest in trap-shooting cir- 
cles, and I think this part of the State will furnish you with frequent 
batches of material for your trap columns this season." One of the 
items referred to reads as follows: "Dr. T. C. Siotler, of Shepherds- 
town, W. Va., has moved to Harper's Ferry and will practice his 
profession there. Ic will be remembered that the doctor usually 
manages the Morgan's Grove trap-sbootiag tournament, which is 
given by and is a feature of the Morgan's Grove Fair Association, at 
Shepherdstown, W. Va. Last year he was ably assisted by Dr. Fort, 
of Ellicott City, Md., in the management of this tournament. These 
shoots are affairs of some magnitude, and are much enjoyed by the 
local contingent as well as by shooters from a distance. It is hoped 
that this association will hold another tournament in connection with 
the fair this year, and that we will again hear the doctor asking his 
usual question, 'Have you entered this event? Dollar, please.' " An- 
other runs thus, showing that trap-shooting is not dead in West Vir- 
ginia: "There is a great deal of interest displayed in trap-shooting 
circles at Harper's Ferry, W. Va., which bids fair to blossom Into a 
good-sized tournament at that point this coming summer. Walter 
Winters and Dr. Stotler have been grinding np a few targets for their 
own amusement. When Capt. Spencer, Sheo. Gatrell and Charlie 
Cavalier hear of it, they will take a hand too." 
Capt. A. W. Money arrived from England on Monday morning, Feb. 
23, on board the steamship St. Paul. He had just gotten his baggage 
through the customs when he was met by Noel Money and C. Ken- 
nard, Moel's brother-in-law, both with a gun over their shoulders, 
being en route for the grounds of the Westchester Country Club. 
"You've got 10 come along and shoot," said they. Although in his 
best store clothes, Capt. Money didn't demur, but, picking a gun out 
of those he had along with him, went as he was bid. As it happened, 
there were three cups up for competition at the Country Club on that 
date. Noel Money won the first, Capt. Money the second, aod Noel 
the third! Mr. Kennard left for Indian Territory on the Pennsylvania 
Limited on Friday morning. He expecDs to be absent on this trip for 
two or three months. 
A correspondent, who for certain reasons desires to be known as 
"Gun Crank," writes to us from Cincinnati, O., under date of Feb. 
23. as follows: "I notice in your issue of Feb. 30 a letter from your 
Chicago correspondeut, Mr. R. Hough, in which he claims that certain 
guns in the possession of a Chicago gunma.ker are of great interest 
because the barrels are made of a 'new material, known as the 
Krnpp special steel, which in reports once printed in Forest and 
Stream by Mr. Armin Tenner was shown, etc' Now, Mr. Editor, 
how long does it generally take for a 'new material' to get out to 
Chicago? If I mistake not, gun manufacturers and gun dealers in 
ciiies in the East can tell something about this 'new miterial ' 
Krupp special steel barrels are good, but 'newl' I don't think." 
It seems a pity that pigeon shooting should be mixed up with prize 
fighting, but from what one reads such is going to be the case at Car- 
son, Nev , on or about March 1~. The Kansas City Star has quite a 
lengthy note on the subject in its issue of Feb. v2, and appears to re- 
joice in the fact that Stuart has announced something that reads like 
"$1,000 added," as that amount entitles him to call upon the Star to 
put up its cup (no-w held by Jim Elliott) for competition at Carson at 
the same time and place as "the fistic carnival " Calling the exhibi- 
tion to be given by Corbett and Fitzsimmons a "fistic carnival'" 
doesn't lesson the fact that it is simply a prize fight, something with 
which trap-shooting has nothing in common. 
In om- issue of Ja.n. 30 we printed an invitation from T. W. Morfey, 
of Paterson, N. J., to John L. Winston to shoot a maicb on Winston's 
own terms, on Winston's own dates (March 1 to March 10), and on 
Winston's choice of grounds (Elkwood or YardviUe), for $100 a side, 
the amountnamed by Winston. Aforfeitof $50 accompanied Morfey's 
invitation. It will also be remembered that when the match was 
made, viz., on Jan. 16, nothing was put up, but Winston bet Morfey a 
S5 hat that he, Morfey, wou'd not shoot. The "invitation" was, as 
stated above, published in our issue of Jan. 31, and over five weeks 
have elapsed since it appeared. When this issue makes its appear- 
ance there will be just one more week for Winston to make good his 
side of the case oi* buy the hat. 
The Windsor Locks (Conn.) Gun Club will give an all-day shoo"- on 
Fast Day, April 16. The programme contains seven 10-targPt events, 
four 15-target events, a 20- and a 25-target event, making a total of 
175 targets all told. The entrance fee for the whole programme is 
$15.15. Targets will be thrown at 2 cents each, with four moneys in 
all events. Refreshments are free to shooters, shooting commencing 
at 9:30 A. M Anyone may shoot "for birds only." S.'^B. Douglas is 
president of the club, and O. F. Cleveland secretary. Messrs. P. L. 
Harvey, H. L. Cutler and Videon, members of the Windsor Locks 
Gun Club, were present at the New Haven Gun Club's shoot on 
Washington's Birthday. 
The Jacksonville, Fla., Citizen of Feb. SO contains the following 
item of interest from Tampa, Fla.: "The first live-bird shoot occurred 
at the hotel this morning, and it was very interesting. Pigeons were 
used at a 30yd. rise, with a 50yd. boundary, both barrels being used 
Only three entries were made-F. Bacon, Boston; F. H. Brown, Con- 
necticut, and Arthur Schleman, hotel guide. The score was: Bacon 
9, Brown 7, Schleman 8. Guide Schleman to day sold Jack and 
Molly, his two finest pointers, to S. B. Sexion, of New York, for g-300. 
The dogs are superb hunters, and after using them during his stay 
Mr Sexton became so much attached to them that he decided to pur- 
chase them." 
Paradise Lost, the gentleman whose letter we criticised last week, 
and who is supposed to hail from Worcester, Mass., should cast his 
eye over our trap columns this Wfck and then write his impressions 
of the decadence of trap-shooting with a new pen and another kind 
of ink. It seems a shame to mention the worthy name of the city of 
Worcester in connection with such an epistle. A city that claims 
V. D. Kenerson, J. T. Mascrof t and W. L. Davis, not to mention lots 
of others Just as good as her citizens, can, however, afiEord one Para- 
dise Lost. 
, The 95-bird race shot on Saturday, Feb. 27, on the grounds of the 
Larchmont Y. C, Pelham Manor, N. Y., was won by Louis T. Duryea 
with 21. from the 30yds. mark. There were sevente en entries, six of 
the number tieing on 23 tor second and third money s. On the shoot- 
off fmiss-aud-out) for these moneys, J. P. Knapp, F. G. Moore and E. 
R, Laidlaw divided with C straight kills. The other three dropped 
out as follows: Justus von Lengerke iu the 6th round, Col. Butler In 
the 5lh round, and G. S. McAlpin in the 3d round. 
For the information of some of our correspondents we would state 
that we have been informed that all handicaps for the Grand Ameri- 
can Handicap will be figured on the 12-gauge basis, and that every- 
body using a 16 or 20-gauge will have to shoot at the distance 
awarded him. The reason for this is that the Interstate Association 
rules recognize no guns of any other caliber than 13-gauges. No gun 
over 81bs. m weight will be allowed. 
Programmes for the Cobweb Gun Club's shoot at Baychester, N. 
Y., March 16-19, during the week of the Sportsmen's Exposition at 
Madison Square Garden, are now ready and can be obtained by 
addressing the secretary, George W. Thompson, Jr., Cobweb Club 
2377 Third avenue, New York City. The first two days are at targets, 
the last two at live birds, with the Cobweb Handicap, $500 guaran- 
teed, as the j/iece de resistance on the last day, March 19. 
Prior to leaving for the Indianapolis sparrow tournament and the 
Texas Midwinter, Rolla Heikes gave an exhibition of rapid worlr on 
targets with a Winchester repeating shotgun for the benefit of the 
Mutoscope Company, of New York Perd Van Dyke stood by Rolla 
and loaded the guns as fast as they were emptied. Photographs were 
taken at the rate of forty to the second, and every one is as clear as 
possible. The whole thin§ will be shown at some date in the near 
future at Keith's New Union Square Theater. 
Ferd Van Dyke, of the W. B. A. Company, will be one of the entries 
In the Grand American Handicap this year. Van was at Elkwood on 
Saturday, Feb. 27, and shot a few birds, incidentally scoring 15 
straight in the handicap event on the programme and pocketing first 
money, $57. For the next few weeks Van will be in evidence at most 
of the important shoots around New York, being temporarily located 
In this city until after the Sportsmen's Exposition week. 
G. S. McAlpin made an excellent score on Thursday, Feb. 25, at 
River ton, N. J., when he defeated T. S. Dando, of the Riverton Gun 
Club, b.v scoring HO to 73 out of 50 pairs of live birds, 25yds., .50yds. 
boundary. McAlpin's record for this season has been a remarkable 
one, his string of victories being almost entirely unmarred. 
Memphi'5, Tenn., will have three entries in the Grand American 
Handicap; Irby Bennett says so, and as he has just returned from 
that citv he should know all about it. W. R. Oliver, of the firm of 
Oliver-Finnie in that city, was in New York on Wednesday last. He 
spent the fore part of the week in New Haven with Mr. Bennett, 
A new league of gun clubs has been organized in Connecticut for 
the purpose of furthering the interests of trap-shooting and increas- 
ing local enthusiasm in the sport The objects of the league and its 
members is the subject of a note made elsewhere in these columns. 
The tournament of the Cobweb Gun Club at Baychester, N. Y., 
during the week of the Sportsmen's Exposition, promises to be a 
popular one. The train service between New York and Baychester 
is very handy. Trains leave the terminus of the Third avenue ele- 
vated at a quarter before each hour, and it only takes fifteen mihr 
utea to run to Baychester. 
A trap-shooting league has been formed from the clubs that shoo' 
In the vicinity of Philadelphia, Pa. The chief object of the new 
league is to bring the trap-shooters in that vicinity into closer touch 
by promoting monthly team contests between the clubs composing 
the league. 
The next contest for the E C. cup, on the grounds of the Bergen 
County Gun Club, of Hackensack, N. J., will be held on March 27. 
This club will hold its anniver.>ary tournament early in the month of 
June, and will make the shoot attractive by hanging up a little added 
money. 
The rivers have been on the boom around Pittsburg. Pa., lately. 
Those present at the Pittsburg Gun Club's tournament last June can 
form some idea of the amount of water in the rivers fi-om the fact 
that at one time 12ft. of water covered the place where that tourna- 
ment was held. 
The interest in this year's Grand Americah Handicap seems to us 
so much greater than in any previous year that we feel almost em- 
boldened to prophecy a new record for the Interstate Association to 
brag about for the next twelve months. 
Mr. J. L. Head, of Peru, lad., wri'es us that he is promoting a tour- 
nament at that place for April 28-29. As told elsewhere in Mr. 
Head's own words, his object in promoting this tournament is to 
organize a league of the gun clubs within a radius of 75 to 100 miles of 
Peru. 
Thursday, March 4, Inauguration Day, the following programms 
will be carried outat Elkwood, Park, commeaciag at 12:30 P. M : Mc-

Larchmont. 
New York, Feb. 27.— There was an excellent attendance to-day at 
Larchmont, an attractive programme having been gotten up by Mr. 
A. Marshall, chairman of the shooting committee The birds were a 
good lot, and several of the shooters foimd difficulty in stopping 
them within the 2lyd. boundary. In the main event, a '25-bird handi- 
cap, Louis Duryea shot very steadily, running his first 31 straight, 
losing a twisting driver in the last round. Hix tied for '-^d and 3d

English Gunpowders in America. 
The London Fifld of Feb. 20 contains the following upon the gun- 
powder situation in the United States as concerning English powders: 
"We understand that it has been decided to amalgamate the Amer- 
ican interests of the Sehultze Powder Co., Ltd., and the American E. 
O. Powder Co., Ijfd. This decision has been arrived at by reason of 
the undesirable state of affairs prevailing in the States at the present 
time. It is stated that this resolve will not affect in the slightest de- 
gree In the United Kingdom the interests of the Sohultze Gunpowder 
Co or the original E C. Powder Co. (the latter being entirely distinct 
from the Ameriqan E. C. Powder Co.)."
