FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Apeil 10, 1897. 
Col. A. tJ. Courtney, of the Lefever Arms Co., was present at the 
'Grand American Handicap, and was kept quite busy sihaklns; liands. 
'Court has a vastscquaiTitanceamone shootine: men, and is deservedly 
popular with them. One of hi& chief recommendations is his talent 
as a rwc^iiteiir, talent that may be equaled, but never surp »ssed. He 
has a record of never having been at a loss for a story to beat the one 
.jnSt previously told. He relates tales of hairbreadth escapes wbile 
hunting with the nonchalance that bespeaks the true hero. Court 
■and his gun, a Lefever, of course, are consequently always welcome 
at any shoOt, and no State shoot in New York is ever corapiele without 
ihls presence. We shall see him at Auburn next June, 
We gladly give space to the disclaimer (given elsewhere) from Mrv 
A W. Wells, one of the most prominent members of the Wor^cester 
(Mass.) Sportsmen's Club, that he was not the author of the article 
signed Paradise Lost, which was dated from Worcester and recently 
published by one of our contemporaries. At the time that we re- 
printed that letter— and treated it rath'^r more courteously than it 
deserved— we stated, in fact, that Mr. Walls cotild not be the author 
of such a tangle of misstatements. We are, nevertheless, glad to 
hear from Mr. Walls, and now repeat the old question : "Who is Par- 
adise Lost?" ' 
Dick Merrill and Chan Powers did not return West with the other 
members of the Western team. They stopped off a week and looked 
around New York. We met Mr. Merrill on Friday last and he ex- 
■pressed himself as delighted with his trip, and as particularly pleased 
■with the manner io which the Grand American Handicap bad been 
iiandied by Manager Shar-er. Bis sentiments coincided exactly with 
those of all who spoke to us on this subject, ti was a great shoot 
«nd superbly managed. 
The next big shoot in this vicinity will be the Baltimore Interstate, 
April 14-16. We have already given full particulars of the pro- 
igramme, so that we have nothing more to add save to state that, 
<from the present outlook, the Interstate's ooouing target shoot for 
■5837 is going to be a bumper. It L« as well to remember too that on 
the live-bird day, April 16, all events are high guns, a programme 
tthat is bound to be popular The grounds will be open for practice 
ton Tuesday afternoon, April 13. 
The Caaenovia, N. Y„ Gun Club is an organization that moves with 
the times. Last Tuesday, March 30, it held an all-day shoot, and 
threw targets at 1 cent e'aeh. We have often maintained that tar- 
gets can be thrown at 1 cent each and a profit made on the outlay^ 
atsd we guarantee that the Cazenovia. Club did not lose any money 
"on its venture. The club has also leased a magautrap, and the aboVe 
fhoot was in honor of its inauguration. 
On Thursday, April 8, Charlie Zwirlein will have a ]!ve--bird shoot 
:at his grounds, Yardville. N, J'. The conditions o£ the main event 
'will be 20 live birds, $15 entrance, birds included, handicaps 23 to 
-33yds. The train for shooters to take is the 9:10 from New York, 
leaving Newark, N J., at 9:36 A. M 
The three-men team race at the Boiling Springs's grounds on Satur- 
day next, April 10, jjromises to be a decidedly interesting allair, as 
several clubs have signified their intentions of being represented on 
that date. The conditions are three men to a team, 50 targets per 
man, unknown angles, $10 per team. 
Saturday, April 17, is the date set by the 'S'antlcaw Gun Club, of 
Nutley, N. J , for the inaguration of the new addition to its apparatus, 
a magautrap. The club through its captain. Dr. De Wolfe, issues a 
cordial invitation to all 1 rap- shooters to attend. 
Ferd Van Dyke won the club cup shoot at the Boiling Springs Gun 
Club, Rutherford, N. J„ on Saturday last, April 3, by breaking 49 out 
of 50. Neaf Apgar, Jack Fat)ning and j. L. Brewer, who were also 
among the contestants, scored 46 each. 
Annie Oakley enters upon her engagement with Buffalo Bill's Wild 
West Show on Monday, April 12. The show opens at Ambrose Park, 
Brooklyn, on that date, and will remain there two weeks. Miss Oak- 
ley's friends will thus have an opportunity of seeing her once more 
exhibit her great skill with shotgun and rifle. 
The Oil Oily, Pa., Gun Club has elected the following list of officers 
for 1697-8: President-L. L. Graham;, Vice-President— A. Snaedley; 
Secretary— H. O. Reeser; Treasuter— H.' 0. Dorworth; Directors— F. 
S. Bates, C. H, Lay, Jr., and C. T McChntock. 
Mr. George Rogers, of Lincoln, Neb., writes us under dat« of 
March 27: "Please make a not.o. of the fact that the Nebraska State 
Sportsmen's Association adds $i,000 to the purses at its tournament, 
April 20-2-3." 
The Mountain State Gun Club, of Parkersburg, W. Va , announces 
that it will hold a tournament at targets, June with $350 added 
money. The secretary of the c ub is Leon J. Epstein. 
On and after July 1 Von Lengerke & Detmold will be found at 3'8 
Brr-adway, the ground floor of the same building in which Forest 
AHD Stream made its home for some years. 
We have received no notice as yet from Mr. John L. Winston as to 
date and place for the match between himself and Charlie Budd for 
the Du Pont championship trophy.

Programme for the Riclimond Tournament. 
ADVANCE copies of the programme for the Interstate Association's 
tournament at Richmond, Va , April S8-29, have been furnished us by 
Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, the Association's manager. The programme 
commences with a short review of Richmond, its location, advan- 
tages , society, climate, etc, all good and interesting reading— for 
Richmond has about her an air of romance that loses nothing as 
years roll by. Shooters who visit the city of Richmond for this 
tournament will see something besides targets and traps, as the loca- 
tion of Richmond is picturesque in the extreme. 
The West End Gun Club, the local club under whose auspices the 
Interstate Association will give this tournament, has decided to make 
the programme attractive to outside shooters; it has therefore deter- 
mined to add $100 a day in cash to the purses. The schedule of 
events for each day is precisely the same, viz., ten 15 target events, 
SI. 60 entrance, $10 added to each purse, known traps and unknown 
angles The Rose system of dividing purses will be used, all purses 
being divided into four moneys. Bluerock targets will be thrown. 
Shooting commences at 9 sharp each morning. . 
The totu-nament will be held at Blandon Park, two lines of electric 
cars coanecting with a line of stages that wiQ carry shooters to the 
grounds. Murphy's Hotel, Eighth and Broad streets, wiU be head- 
quarters for shooters during the tournament, a satisfactory rate 
having been secured. The hotel: is on the European plan. It" has a 
great advantage in the fact that street cars to the shooting grounds 
run past the hotel. 
Guns and ammunition sent in care of T. W. Tignor's Sons, 13-22 E. 
Main street, will be delivered at the ground'* free of charge. Any 
further uaformation that may be desired can be obtained by address- 
ing the secretary of the club, Edwin L. Hewitt, 8C3 Main street, Rich- 
mond, Va. 
Buckeye Gun Club. 
Dayton, O., April .3.— I inclose a clipping from a local paper giving 
an account of our opening shoot: 
"The Buckeye Gun Club held its first shoot of the season for certiB- 
cates yesterday on the club grounds, and it was a red-letter day for 
all the members present, as the scores will show. The champion clay 
bird shot of the world, Rolla Heikes,put up the best score he has ever 
made on the home grounds, and the boys all put up a good score, and 
the club that goes up against it will thinli they have been to a shoot- 
ing match if they beat it The happiest man in the club to-day is Dr. 
Adams, as he made the best score he ever made, but the bojs say it 
was not him, but the gun he was shooting. He shot Heikes's old 
Monegrame gun, the one that he has shot over 150,000 shots out of. 
Rolla just told the doctor to hold the gun toward the traps and the 
gun would do the rest Among the visitors was William Lyman, an 
old-time Dayton shooter. The club has adopted a new rule of shoot- 
ing for certificates this year. Heretofore one could be woii on 20 
birds, but now you must shoot at 100, and you must make a certain 
per cent, given you by the handicap committee, and it met with the 
hearty approval of all present yesterday- The club ia expecting to 
shoot a team race with the Limited Gun Club, of Indianapolis, in the 
near future." 
"Officers of the club for the year are as follows: President, C. W. 
Raymond; Vice-President. W. Scott McDonald; Secretary, John 
Ciu-phy : Treasurer, C. D. Kiefaber; Executive Committee: Hi Prots- 
man, Al. Wroe, Dr. L C. Adams; Handicap Committee: Dr. L. C. 
Adams, C. D. Kiefaber, W. Scott McDonald. 
"The following are the scores made in the above shoot out of 100 tar- 
gets for certificates: James Achey 65, Charles Miller 8i, Michael 
Schwind 79, Andy Mumma S3, Shorty Bacon 91, Bd. Rike 96, R. O 
Heikes 97, Al. Wroe 80, Hi Protsman 83, C, D. Kiefaber 00, Dr. L. C.

Who is Paradise Lost? 
Worcester,, Mass., March SI.— Editor Forest and Stream: Will

LADEW defeats KNOWLTON. 
New York, March 31.— Dr. J. G. Knowlton and E. E. Ladew, both 
residents of this city, shot a match to-day on the grounds of the 
Larchmont Yacht Club, Ladew winning after a close and exciting 
match, in which the winner had an upnill fight from the start until 
almost the last bird had been shot at. The conditions were ICO birds 
per man, Knowlton at 80yds. and Ladew at 28yds , 30yds. boundary. 
Ladew started uadly, losing 7 out of bis first 25 birds, while Knowl- 
ton lost but 3 out ot the same number. In the second s§ LadeW 
pained 1 b'rd by scoring 28 to Knowlton's 21. In the thil-d string ot 
£5 Ladew evened matters up by scoring 23 to Knowltoh's 20, the 
scores being a tie at tlie end of the 75th round. Ladew t hen lost his 
ISth, but Knowlton aeain tied tbe score by losing bis SOtfa. In the 
84th round Ladew killed, but Knowlton's bird fell dead out of 
bounds. The latter also lost his SB h, thus being 2 behind. Ladew, 
who was shooting strongly, ran straight Until he lost his 9i'd bird 
dead out of bounds, the totals being thUs only 1 bird apart, with 8 
birds more to shoot at. Knowlton was then unlucky enougu to lose bis 
9jth dead out of bounds, and followed this up by also losing his 99th; 
as Ladew killed straight to the end, this gave him the victory by 
3 birds after a most meritorious uphill struggle. The scorps were;

GUTHRIE WINS THIS GVV. 
3.— An interf Sting day's sport was had to day on the Larch- 
mont grounds. There were cine entries in the main event, a iS-bird 
race, among the entries being Chauncey Powers, of Decaiur, 111., and 
C. S Guthrie, of Pittsburg, Pa. The latter tied with Dr. Knowlton 
for the cup on out of 25, and then won the cup on the shoot-ofT. 
The shoot off was rather a peculiar affair: Guthrie lost his first bird, 
Knowlton following suit with a "dead out of bounds." Then Guthrie 
iilled his second bird, but Knowlton's bird again carried the shot out 
of bounds. 
The scores in this event are given below:

trance. $!5 add^d to each purse, five equal moneys, all ties divided— 
a sitnpl'e programme, and one easily carried in the bead. , It will also 
be an easy one to handle; and Under the managempnt of jack Parker 
everj-tbing is bound to run smoothly. In addition to the qhoye 
e^ ents, an open set of traps will be kept busy with events to suit those 
present. , , . 
Ahiong the "rides and regulations'^are the following notes; 
Latest revwed A. S. A. rules (rapid-fire) to govern. Tbe referee's 
decision is, final under all circumstances. We mean what we say. 
We are going to have a dead square shoot. Programme events, with 
addfd money, will be five equal moneys, divided 20, iO, 20, iO, '0 per 
cent. No dropping for place will be tolerated, We have added $.^0

Shooting to commence promptly at 8:30 A. M. Contestants requested 
to make entry for the entire programme for each day. Money re- 
funded for all uncontested events. Electric street cars run to the 
grounds every fifteen minutes. We have nev grounds at ball park, 
with perfect background.

Three sets of traps will be used W. O. Setgeant gys etr. Ex- 
cept if more satisfactory, will stand in setni-cirele. If shot lit 
squads of six men, regular walk arouhd. If In sctuatls of.".fl*^e 
men and SO targets, shoot In rotation from one to five, and eaCh opfe 
shall Sboot at 4 targets and then all moye up one position. In this 
Way each contestant shall shoot at an equal number of targets frpm 
each of the different positions. Traps are pulled in rotation. Should 
target break in trap contestant immediately calls "Pull I" again, when 
next trap in rotation will be sprung. These three traps are so close 
together contestant can notice no difference, and it is equal and fair 
to all. This is no experiment. It was used at tbe Leavenworth tour- 
nament, March 17, and one ard all of twenty five participants were 
more than pleased with it, and pronounced it the only system.

A Ladies' Gun Club. 
Wb clip the following from tbe Breeder and Sportsman ot (3a3U 
fornia, of March S7, feeling that it will interest; many of our readers: 
"The latest fad in soutuem California is a ladies" gun club. The 
members of tbe club are; Mrs. Leslie C. Brand, President; Mrs. M. L. 
Wicks, Secretary and Treasurer; Mrs, Cbarles Haekins, Mrs. U. S. 
Wildemuth, Mrs. Spencer Millard, Mrs. Chas. Luckenbach, Mrs, Mayor 
Snyder, Mrs. Chas. Sessions, Mrs. Hervy L. Pinney, Miss Pinney, Mrs, 
Gude, Mrs. Daniel Innes, Miss Innes, Mrs. Arlhur Morlan and Mrs, 
Howard Starker. 
"The dues are devoted to the purchase of prizes and ammunition. 
The clubwomen meet every Saturday at 3 P. M. at Mis. Brand's, 
where they practice, many of them being quite skillful marks- 
women. 
"The scene is always animated, for each lady owns a dog, and a 
dog which loves a gun. Mrs. Brand has four dogs- a pointer and 
three setters. Mrs. Wicks has? a water spaniel, Mrs. Hasfeins has a 
spitz, Mrs. Millard a setter, and tbe others dogs of various breeds. 
Indeed, it is ohe of the rules of the club that each nismber must owh 
at least bne dog. , 
"The recent tramps have showii the ladies the folly of ennventional 
gowns in gun clubs, .and a pretty costume is now being evolved, 
which consists of a skirt of Lincoln green, a tan blouse and leather 
belt, bloomers, high laced leggins, and a little tan cap with a green 
Visor. 
"Of course the score is kept, and each month a prize is awarded. 
Mrs. M. L. Wicks proved the most efficient markswoman last month, 
and fell heir to a beautiful f-rn, an immense maiden hair, in a hand- 
some jardiniere, of which she is justly proud. 
"Each lady entertains tbe club in turn one day in the week, when a 
few guests are invited. At these social afternoons, which are purely 
informal, the refreshment is simple, the conversation is confined to 
sporting subjects, guns are overhauled, the prizes decided upon, ahd 
many other important tbuigs receive due attention.'* 
Sandusky Gun Club. 
PANnUskV, O , March 17.— Below are the results of the Sandusky 
Gun Club's tournament, which closed to-day. The regular order of 
the programme was not followed out, as most of the shooters came 
straggbng out to the grounds about 10 A. M , causing considerable 
delay ; consequently the target events were dropped, ahd the remain- 
der of the day devoted to live-bird events. The second day's shoot
