long list of-events was decided, John J. Sutnpter, Jr , the Arkansas

tbe programme was a match between Hank White, of Little Silver, 
N. J., and Walter Patten, -of Long Branch, or rather Pleasure Bay.

said to be particularly strong. To-day, however, he was defeated 
after a close race by 3 bird s : the sc ore was a tie at the end of the 20th 
pair, but in the last 5 pairs Patten puUed the race out of the fire by

POUR HANDED MATCH AT BABYLON. 
March $7 —The strong northwest wind that swept over the traps at 
the Westminster Kennel Club to day had, perhaps, more to do with 
the low scores made than the extra good quality of birds provided 
specially for the occasion by L. M. Gilbert & Son, of Philadelphia,

tendent. The conditions of the race were Gilbert and Knapp against

out of his third 25. Knapp could do no better than two 30s and two 
17s. The weather conditions and the quality of the birds were all

jlfctrcTi SO,— To-day was the day chosen for the inaugura'ion of the 
magautrap lately placed In position at the grounds of the Brooklya 
Gun Club, The day was a lovely one for target shooting, and tbe 
attendance was decidedly above par, considering the amount of trap- 
shooting that has been going on recently in the vicinity of this city 
and Brooklyn. Amoog those present were Ferd Van Dyke, of the 
Winchester Repeating Arms Co.; W. R. Crosbj% of the Baker Gun 
Co., of Batavia, N. Y. ; Jack Fanning, of the Gold Dust Powder Co., 
of San Francisco, Cal ; Neaf Apgar, representing the Austin Powder 
Co.; Seth Clover, of Erie, Pa,: J S, S. Remsen, president of the 
Brooklyn Gun Club; T. Baron, the club's secretary; Liidwig, a 
shooter who, though large of bulk, hides his identity for busi- 
ni-ss reasons under a short nom defiisil; Dick Phister, Dr. Little and 
ot lers. 
Twelve events in all were shot off, and about 3,000 targets thrown 
during the afternoon. The club's e-rounds are somewhat conven- 
iently located for persons who live in Greater New York, and should 
prove a very popular resort under the present energetic manage- 
ment of the club. To reach the grounds (where shooting takes place 
every Saturday afternoon) take the King's County Elevated R. R. 
from the bridge or from Fulton Ferry to the end of the road; the 
grounds are less than five minutes' walk from the terminus of that 
road. Scores In to-day's shoot were as below:

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Marsh,— What does tbe gauge of a gun mean? or what is it based 
on, or how is the gauge determined? Ans, The gauge of a gun de- 
notes ihe diameter oi its bore, and the latter term originally was 
based on tbe different sizes of moulds casting spherical balls; thus a 
10- bore or lO gausewas the same diameter as a ball of which 10 made 
a pound. The gauges are now arbitrary, as follows: Diameter of in- 
terior of barrel, 28 gauge, ,.'i50in.; 34-gauge, .579in, ; 20-gauge. ,615in.; 
36 gauge, .f 62in ; 14 gauge, .693)n.; 13 gauge, ,729in ; 10-gauge, ,??5ih ; 
8-gauge, .tSain,; 4-gauge, ,l,052in. : 3 gauge, ,l,325in.
