J. S. S. Remsen has strengrthened his hold on the Reereafion cup 
hy adding another win to his credit. As there art* only four more 
shoots for this trophy, some stout hualling will have to be done if the 
cup is not to eo to Remsen Hali. Mr. Remsen's win on April 7 was a 
most highly creditahlo one. He scored 46 imt of each 50, half the 
race belnp &t known angles and half at unknown anglfs. His t-otal 
of 92 tied Qreifl's total, and a shoot-off was the result, The pair shot 
oiT at 15 known and 15 unknown areles Remsen scored 14 out of 15 
at known angles, and then ran 15 straig-ht m the unknowns, a total of 
29 out of 30. It is also worth noting: that when Remsen went to the 
score for his last string of 25 unknown angles, he had to break 25 to 
beat GreifC and 24 to tie his score. He lost his fourth target, but 
finished with 24, running the last 21 straight. F. Smnock, the win- 
ner of the cup in February last, was clean out of form on April 7, his 
liver being in bad shape and h« himself under the doctor's care. It 
took grit to stand up under such conditions, butSinnock supplied the 
grit and knocked out 46 out of 60 i a the first half of the race. Con- 
dition told in the last half, and he finished with only 86. 
Baltimore and Atchison may be said to open the target season of 
3 897. From now until late in the fall not a week will pass without 
some important tareet tournament being on the list. Although this 
is not to be a season of large added money tournaments, the number 
of small tournaments will more than make up for the loss in that re- 
spect. The days of "$I50 per day profit" for the crackerjacks seem 
to have goiie by. It is now more a case of "small profits and quick 
returns." i 
Arthur BUnn, of Singac, N. .7., announces that he will hold a live- 
bird shoot on his grouads on Monday, April 19, at 12 noon sharp. 
The main event will be a 25-bird sweep, $10 entrance, birds extra. 
Bunn's birds are always of the very best quality, and it takes good 
work to score even 10 straight on his grounds. A simple way to get 
toSingacis to take the Erie R. R. to Paterson, and then take the 
electric cars from the depot in Paterson to Singac. Trains also leave 
Chambers street, N. Y. (Erie R. R.), at 10:30 and 12 noon for Little 
Falls. 
Billy Crosby (everybody calls him "Billy" whether they know bim 
well or not) la making quite a stay with us, and is running in double 
harness with Jack Fanning. This pair sally forth from JSew York 
city on the slightest provocation, and turn up at every target or lipe- 
bird shoot in the vicinity. Both are as welcome as the day, hecause 
New York and New Jersey trap-shooters koow good fellows when 
they fall across them. The new Baker hammer gun handled by 
Crosby attracts lots of attention for reasons that can easily be 
guessed. 
In looking over the programmes for the Baltimore and Richmond 
Interstate shoots we can only find one fault with them, and that fault 
may possibly be only imaginary. We refer to the absence of any aver- 
age moneys. Average money we look upon as a most interesting 
feature of any tournament, and in addition to being interesting to the 
shooters it always gets them out to the grounds early whether it's a 
case of rain or not. Average moneys (always high guns, not class 
shooting) are a feature that we like to see in any programme. 
We have not heard much from Newhurgh, N. Y., in regard to the 
tournament to be held there May 5-7, hut we understand that Presi- 
dent Dave Brown intends to make the annual spring tournament 
tven more enjoyable than those of past years. He has good ma- 
terial among the members of his club to draw upon, for the New- 
burgh boys are skilled entertainers. We understand also that the 
tournament will be ''open to all." 
The Iroquois Rifle and Gun Club, of Pittsburg, Pa., holds an all-day 
shoot at targets on the first Thursday of every month. Shooting 
commences at 10 A. M. on each of the days above mentioned. The 
programme prepared by the committee— Jacob Motz, H. L. Born and 
' W. J. Udick— is a popular one, and these shoots should be well at- 
tended by trap-shooters of Pittsburg and vicinity. At all these 
hhoots the purses are divided on the Rose system. 
Ferd Van Dyke has recently placed two gond records to the credit 
of Liflin & Rand's W-A powder: On April 3 he won the Boiling 
Springs cup shoot with 49 out of 50, and on April 7 he led the baud at 
the Bergen County Gun Club's grounds, Hackensack, N. J,, with a 
total of i3 out of 100. On the latter occasion he broke 45 oat of 
50 at known angles, but finished with 48 out of 50 at unknown angles. 
H. W. Brown, of Binghamton, N Y., man.ager of the Binghamtoa 
Gun Club, writes us that his club is getting out an interesting and 
tasteful programme for its spring shoot on April 27-39. These semi- 
annual gatherings of the Binghamton boys are always enjoyable 
affairs, and the spring shoot of 1897 promises to be as pleasant as any 
of its forerunners. They kuo vv ho * to make visitors feel at home in 
Binghamton. 
Merchandise prizes for the Auburn (N. Y. State) shoot, June 8-11 • 
are rolling up. The management of the Auburn Gun Club has al 
ready secured a donation of sis first-class guns as prizes, besides a 
list dr othe)' valuable prizes too lengthy for mention. A special tea 
lure this year will be "£:^-open-to-aU" sweeps, as the club wants all 
the cracks, East, West, North and South, to come and joia iu thef un. 
The club will ijar nobody, 
Mr. Rice's letter anent the trip of the Western delegation to the 
Grand American Handicap, which appeared in one of ourcotem- 
poraries the week af er the shoot, seems to have aroused the disap 
proval of rpany shooters in the E'ist. Several of them very strongly 
resent the lack of Courtesy attributed to them. In another portion of 
our trap columns we publish some of the le.ters we have received on 
this subject. 
Among the New York delegation to the Baltimore shoot this week 
will be Capt. A. W. Money, Ed. Taylor, Justus von Leagerke. Neaf 
Apgar, Ferd. Van Dyke, W. Crosby, Jack Fanning and Tom Keller. 
Most of the above will also be in evidence at the Richmond Interstate 
of April 28-29. There is material enough for a good squal in the 
above list. 
The Marietta (O ) Gun Club will hold its spring tournament on 
Wedne.-day, April 21. The programme consists of twelve 15 target 
©vents, $1.50 entrance, unknown angles. All purses will be divided i n 
the Rose system. The shoot will be under the management of P. 
Schlicher, Jr , and C. E. Verges. Shooting commences at 9 A. M., 
rain or shine. 
Jack Fanning is still in the East and will scarcely see San Fran ' 
Cisco until late next Ml, when the target-shooting season here is 
closed, and when we shall have nothing left with which to amii-e 
him. Jack is making lots of new friends for himsel'', his powder 
(Gold Dust), and for the Olympic Club, ot San Franci^^co, whose baoge 
he wears over the spot where he says his heart is 
The members of the Knoxville(Tena ) Gun Club have been working 
hard during the pieseut session ot the State Legislature to secure 
much-needed legislation on behalf of the eame and fish of the Stare. 
The success of the club's efforts in this respect should spur on similar 
organizations to do likewise in their respective districts. 
Hon. Tom A. Marshall, the winner of the Grand American Handi- 
cap, is not without a handsome souvenir of his victory on March 
24-35. His friends in the West have presented nim with a fine silver 
service to commemorate an excellent exhibition of skill and nerve. 
The spring tournament of the Portland, Me , Gun Club has been 
postponed from its original date;it will now take place on Wednesday 
ot this week, April 14, Mr. Chisholm. mauager of the club, informs us 
that a magautrap will be used at this shoot. 
Mr. J. H, Richmond, of this city, has sold out his interest in the 
Walsrode Powder Co. to Oscar Hesse, of Red Bank, N. J., who will 
jereafter represent the powder company in this country. The 
igency will, we understand, siill remam in the hands of Messrs. 
ijchoverlhig, Daly & Gales. 
A new gun club has been organized at Secaucus, N. J., under the 
presidency of Mr. Henry Hettich. The new club will commence prac- 
ticing at once anl promises to become a factor in trap-shooting 
circles in the State of New Jersey. 
The Oritani Field Club, of Hackensack, N. J,, announces that itwill 
hold an all-day shont on Wednesday, April 21. All events will be at

On May 31 the Portland (Me ) Gun Club will hold its annual spring 
tournament. Tlie shoot will be at targets, and, to make the tourna- 
ment attractive, the club will add money to the purses. 
The Forester Guu Olub, of Newark, N. J., will hold an aU day shoot 
It targets on April 28. The club will welcome all shooters, and will 
filso keep open house on that day.

The Western Team at Elkwood Park. 
Buffalo, N, Y., April Q.— Editor Forest and Stream- I was rather 
surprised on looking over my Forest and Stream that arrived to-day 
to find no mention made of the recent letter written by Mr. Rice to 
your Western contemporary. 
After describing the composition of his team, all gentlemen and all 
rattling good shots, and after describing Elkwood Park, its accommo- 
dation?, shooting grounds and club hous°, Mr. Rice makes this re- 
markable statement: "The management of the Grand American 
Handicap, notwithstanding predictions to the contrary, was generous 
in its treatment of the Western party, and should we again visit the 
East, 1 tbink my party will join me in the statement that we shall ask 
nothing better than what we received at the Handicap of 1897." 
Mr. Rice practically closes his letter with the following: * * * 
should Chicago be favored in 1F98, the winner in the Grand American 
Handicap shall have to carry home with him a trophy of which he 
will be proud, and with the feeling that the West in its good-natured 
and broad liberalism has extended to him— whether a resident East or 
West of the Ohio River— 'the glad hand' with a fellow sportsman's 
hest wishes. This (I regret to say) will be in marked contrast to the 
treatment accorded by the Eastern shooters to the Western con- 
tingent as we concluded our shooting .last week. To Mr. Robert 
Welcb. of Pbiladelpbia, we owe the only real courtesy extended to us 
as winners bv our brethren in the East." 
Now, Mr Editor, what do you tbink of this last sentence? "What 
do you tbink of the whole letter? What were "the predictions to the 
contrary" that Mr. Rice refers to? What did Mr. Rice and "the 
Western contingent" expect at the hands of fellow sportsmen that 
they did not receive? And, lastlv, what did "Mr. Robert Welch, of 
Philadelphia," do to the Western boys that we did not do? I was 
present at the shoot— as a spectator, it is true— but I never saw more 
genuine enthusiasm on the part of a body of men than was displayed 
by ihe shooters present when the Eon. Ihos. A. Marshall landed the 
chief honor. "The Westi^m contingent," while domiciled at the Elk 
wood Inn, ate by themselves and kept very much to themselves; an 
Eastern team taken to Chicago under similar conditions and for a 
similar purpose would undotibtedly have acted in a precisely similar 
manner. 
It may be the fashion In the West, hut I most seriously doubt it, to 
insinuate all kinds of things; it may also be the fashion in the West, 
but again I most seriously doubt it, to run down the hospitality and 
friendship of those whose guests you have been. If it is the fashion 
to do either of these things, then Mr. Rice's letter is fully up to date 
In all particulars. 48 Gas. 
ANOTHE?l PROTEST. 
Philadelphia, Pa., Aprils.— Editor Forest and Stream.- I would like 
to protest against the way in which that Western delegation found fault 
with everything. They found fault with Phil Daly's accommodations, 
and the price paid for the same; they found fault to a man with the 
reports in the New York papers, good reports too. They said that if 
the winner had been an Eastern man he would have bad a whole 
page; and that if the shoot had been held in Chicago better reports 
and more space would have been given, etc. And now Mr, Rice, in a 
Western sporting paper, finds fault with the way in which he and his 
crowd were entertained during the Grand American Handicap. 
I don't know that Mr. Rice or any Western man is anj different 
from myself or t>thers. We went to a good square shoot, and when 
we made a straight we made money. We were furnished with good 
birds, a splendid club house and comfortable accommodations, and 
the money was paid to the man that earned it— East, West, North or 
South-no section was favored. It does noc seem right that Mr. 
Rice should find fault with the hest shoot ever held in the world, or 
that he should claim that we did not extend proper cotirtesies to him 
and his men, I am sure Mr. Marshall was warmly enough con- 
gratulated on his victory What more could or ought we to have 
done? 
As for the management of the shoot, it knew no clique nor any 
part of the country. It looked after everybody and handicapped 
each shooter on the best information obtainable, regardless of where 
he came from. The Western delegation was entertained at the Grand 
American Handicap as well as any Easterner, and I have no kick 
coming, never having been entertained better in my life. Keystone. 
Programme for the Peru (Ind.) Shoot. 
Mr J. L. Head, promoter of the tournament announced to be held 
at Peru, Ind., April 28-29, under the management of Jack Parker, 
has for AS rded to us a copy of the programme for that shoot. It is 
worthy of special mention that a meeting of the Trap-Shooters' 
League of Indiana will be held at I'eru during the progress of this 
to'irnament. 
In making the following extracts from the reading matter in this 
programme", we must not be taken as indorsing all the statemens and 
sentiments contained therein. This is mereiy another case of many 
men, many minds, and we give the extracts, as we realize that they 
will be of interest to our reader.'^: 
■'Having been requested by a number of shooting acquaintances to 
open the season of 1837 with a tournament at Peru, the promoter of 
tliis event hereby extends a cordial invitation to he sportsmen of 
this and surrounding States to attend what promises to be ore of the 
largest amateur tournaments ever held in the Middle West. 
"Believing it to be unfair to the less expert .^hooters to make an 
exorbitant charge for targets to all tbe contestants, and then add 
thH overcharge to the highest scores for the benefit of the more ex- 
pert under the guise of 'added money,' I here will be no such added (?) 
money. Believing further that tbe practice of soliciting merchandise 
from the local merchants, the majority of whom are not interebted 
in and derive no benefit from trap shooting, and adding the merchan- 
dise as prizes serves only to delay the progress of a tournament, while 
shooting off ties, or engaging in the exciting snort (?) of drawing 
straws in order to determine the winner of such prizes, which in the 
main attract no entries, no merchandise will be added. 
■■Knowing from a wide personal acquaintance with tbe amateur 
shooters of this State that all the average amateur wants is an oppo'-- 
tunity to enter an event having an equal show with all other contest- 
ants to win his entrance and a fair profit as the resulc of his skill, tie 
promoter of this event is prepared to assure every sportsman who 
may attend that every courtesy will be extended him, and every op- 
poriunlty given him to enjoy tne manly sport of trap-shooting that a 
large attendance and good management can provide. 
■'Believing, however, that some inducement should beheld out to 
the contestants to enter every event, thus keeping up interest, espe- 
cial attention should be called to the average prizes, mention of 
wn ch is made on pages 7-11, which is certainly .•sufficient evidence 
that this tournament is not given to realize a profli, but to promote 
the sport of trap-shooting. As to the management, the name of the 
grutleman who has been secured to manage this tournament is a 
guarantee that it will be run upon correct hues and in the best pos- 
sible manner. Mr. Parker will not contest for the purses." 
The programme consists of two 10 target events, $1 entrance; five 
15-target events, gl 50 entrance; three 2C-;arget events, $2 entrance, 
and two 25-target events, $2.50 entrance This gives a total of 205 
targets, and an entry tee "for all day" of SiO.oO. The average prizes 
referred to above are treated of as follows: "As announced in Rules 
and Conditions, targets will be thrown at 2 cents each, but oelieving 
that a reasonable profit can be made at this price, an average prize of 
$ J 50 per thousand for all targets thrown in programme events will 
be divided hetween the two guns making the best general average for 
all programme events on both days-60 per cent, to first and 40 per 
cent, to second— thus reducing the price of targets to M cents." 
Under the head of "Rules and Regulations" appears tne following: 
!»*Shooting commences at 9:30 each morning. Manufasturers' ex- 
perts and black powder barred. iSo contestant will lose a shot. All 
purses divided 35, 30, '.iO and 15 per cent All shooting will b ■ from 
known traps, unktio .vn angles, unless it is clearly demonstrated taut 
too wide a difference exists in the class of shooters, when iho e Itss 
expert will be allowed to shoot from known angles, Gur s and shells 
shipped to J. L. Head will be dehvered to the grounds free of charge.'" 
Arkansas State Sportsmen's Association. 
Little Rook, Ark , April 10.— Please anuoimce that the seventh an- 
nual meeting and tournament of the Arkansas State Sportsmen's A«- 
gociation will be held at Pine Bluff, Ark., July 20-32. Added money 
and other particulars will be announced la'er. The tournament will 
be open to all and the Rose system of dividing the purses will be 
adopted The Association expects to offer liberal inducements to 
draw shooters to Arkansas. It will also amply provide for its State 
shooters. Renewed mterest is being displayed in trap shooting all 
over the State, and altogether the prospects were never more fiatter- 
lug for a successful shoot. The tournament will be under the aus 
>ices of the Pine Bluff Gun Club, Papl R. LiTaaji.

PiTTSBUBG, Pa., April 7.— W. S. King and Sandy MoPherson shot an 
interesting race to-day on the grounds of the Herron Hill Gun Club 
at Davis I-iland, The affair was a handicap, the conditions being as 
follows: 50 birds oer man. King at 3Jyds , McPherson at 28yds., King 
also conceding McPherson 3 misses as kills. The odds conceded by 
King proved too severe, al hough he shot a very great race, scoring 
4S out of 50. McPherson scored 46 out of 50, making his total, with 3 
misses as kills, 49. He thus won by 1 bird. Scores:
