FOREST AND STREAM. 
New Haven Gua Club. 
New Haven, Conn., April 14.— The regular monthly shoot of this 
club was held to-day. About twenty memhers were on band to take 
part in the different events. 
The day was pleasant, with hut very little wind. Still, for some un- 
accountable reason, the scores ran ra'^her low. particularly in the 
handicap at 80 targets. In this race Whitney won first place by break- 
ing 25, and had his choice of three merchaniiispi prizes. He selected 
a fancy nickel-plated thermometer. Kelley and Gould tied for sec- 
ond place, and in the shoot-off Kelley won, taking a willow ilshing 
basket. The third prize was a nickel plated fishing reel, which was 
also tied for by Sherman and Cowee, and was finally won by the 
latter. 
The team race resulted in a tie, which was shot off at 5 birds per 
naan.- Sherman's team developed quite a streak and finally won by 
3 birds. But the event which excited the most interest was for a 
fancy keg of W-A Smokeless powder, kindly presented bv the Laflin 
& Rand Powder Co. This was divided into iwo parts, making the keg 
first prize and the powder second. Mr. 0. B. Bristol did the handi- 
capping in this event to the entire satisfaction of all the shooters. As 
will b') seen by the scores, there was quite a close contest, Whitney 
finally winning the keg and Potter the powder. 
A few extra events were shot, in which Stevens distineuished him- 
self by breaking 5 pairs and 10 reversed angles straight. Following 
are the scores: 
Handicap race, 80 targets, 15 known and 15 unknown angles; handi-

Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, April 14.— The Boston Gun Club, after a cessation of pracr 
tice for two weeks on account of the death of Mr. David Kirkwood, 
its secretary-treasurer for many years, opened again to-day wii ha 
finely attended shoot at Wellington. The bright April day doubtless 
encouraged a number to shake off business anxieties and cares for an 
hour or two in quest of health and en joymenf, knowing well tnat change 
of scene, such as is afforded at an afternoon trap shoot, proves of 
inestimable benefit in the long run to the closely confined individual 
constantly nerved up to the demands of city routine. In the differ- 
ent events, where the desire to down an asphalt is uttermost for ihe 
time being, was found an efficacious remedy for the worry and ills of 
previous weeks, and with no sweep element to detract from success 
or failure, all was pleasant as it should be. There is always one ex- 
ception to prove the rule, ana ours to day was the fact that one was 
absent, and not just for to day but forever, that not ooce again would 
Kirkwood hanaie a gun among his trap shooting friends of many 
years' standing. It will be a long while, in their opinion, before the 
niche left vacant by his decease will be as ably filled, Scores below

. Garden City, of Chicago. 
Chicago, 111., April 19.— Garden City Gun Club, of Chicago, has out 
its programme of the season's shooting coniesfs, which shows an ap- 
propriate lot of prizes in each class, A, B, C arid D. There will be 
shooting every Saturday, beginning April 24 and ending Sept. 11, at 
the grounds at the terminus of the Metropolitan L., west side. The 
grand i-eason prize is a fine gold watch,- value $60, which will be com- 
peted for under the following conditions: 
To members of any club in Cook county, 25 targets, known traps, 
unknown angles, American Association rules, entrance 50 cents, 
half of which goes to the treasury of the club, and half as a sweep- 
stakes each Saturday, divided according to number of entries. Shoot-, 
er making best five scores in the season taees the watch. Thirteen 
to 18yds. rise, according to ability. 
Club Shoots and Handicaps. 
Last week we received a letter asking us the following question: 
"Can a shooter in a handicap race, where extra targets to shoot at 
are allowed, make more than a highest possible? In other words, 
in a club shoot at 25 targets, with an allowance of extra targets to the 
weaker shots, can a man score more than 25 and beat a scratch man 
who has broken every target be shot at?" 
Of course we answered "No," basing our reply on the common- 
sense view of the matter that no man should be asked to do what is 
impossible. Simple as the matter seems to be, it Is a fact that we 
have had to answer many letters asking almost precisely the same 
question. 
This matter of club prize shoots is an interesting one, and it seems 
to us that a brief description of some of the systems in vogue in the 
vicinity of New York may be of use to the officials of newly organized 
gun clubs who want to adopt somethin? of the kind, but who don't 
know which is the best system to adopt. No doubt several of our 
readers will have pet schemes of their own. and we should be glad to 
hear from them on this point. Mr. Roger Van Gilder, the secretary 
of the Knoxville Gun Club, recently gave a very exhaustive review of 
bis club's methods of "certificate shoots." The idea works well at 
Knoxville, and from the results obtained there, it would be worth 
trying elsewhere. 
The Climax Gun Qlub, of Plainfleld, N. J , has a capital plan for its 
monthly prize shoot: At the commencement of each year the mem- 
bers are handicapped according to their showing in the previous year. 
The club shoot is at 25 targets, unknown anele=, with an allowance of 
extra targets for the weaker shots to fire at. No man can score more 
than 25, no matter how many he breaks. A man who breaks 25 re- 
ceives 6 points to his credit in the race for the yearly prizes; 24s get 
5 points; 2.Ssget4: 223 get 3; 21s get 2. and 20s get 1 point each. 
Scores below 20 do not get tny points. At the end of the year 
the totals are counted up, and" the man with the largest total 
takes first prize; the next highest totil takes second prize, and so on. 
This systpm works well, and seems to us to be one of the best in use 
aroimd New York. 
Another system that is much used around New York is that where 
a man is handicapped at so many points, receivine to his credit ac- 
count for the yearly prize* sll points scored above his handicap. 
This system is more generally used in live-bird club shoots, but is just 
as applicable to target shoots. It works well, and keeps up the inter; 
est of the members of the clubs that use it almost up to the last shootl. 
The Boiling Springs Club, of Rutherford, N. J., has another system: 
It divides the year into two halves and gives a cup to the winner of 
each half-yearly prize series. The club shoot is at ro targets, half 
known and half unknown angles; handican allowances of extra tar- 
gets to shoot at. For this shoot it charges $1 for the 50 targets. Out 
of this $1 per man it pays for the targets and deducts a certain sum 
to go to form a fund to purchase a cup and to payout about $100 
among those shooters who have attended four out of the six shoots. 
The cup goes to the man who wins it the greatest number of times, 
but the money is divided proportionately among those shooters who 
have the highest totals for the four best shoots. This plan must 
work well, because the monthly shoots of this club are always well 
attended. 
Other clubs put up prizes for the different classes (the shooters 
being classified), and the man in each class who leads that class in 
the club shoots the greatest number of times during the year be- 
comes the winner of the prize in his class. This system has its draw- 
backs, as a prize is apt to be "cinched " in a certain class rather early 
in the game, and thus all competition in that particular class is 
killed off and all intprest dies. This is fatal to the success of a 
shoot, and a falling off in the attendance is only a natural conse- 
quence. 
The above are a few of the systems which we recall at this moment. 
Who can give us some more? 
Portland Gun Club. 
PoBTLAND, Me., April 14.- In spite of the rain and strong wind that 
prevailed to-day. 20 shooters put in an appearance at the grounds

good scores were hard to make, yet some were registered now and 
then. In event No. 6 one squad averaged over 92 per cent. Every- 
thing ran smoothly under the management of H. A. Uhisholm, and 
the programme was finished earlj in the afternoon ; several extras

Cut it Short. 
iF.'you've got a thought that's happy 
Boil it down; 
Make it short and crisp and snappy- 
Boil it down. 
When your brain its coin has minted, 
Down the page your pen has printed, 
If you want your effort printed. 
Boil it down. 
Take out every surplus letter — 
Boil it down ; 
Fewer syllables the better- 
Boil it down. 
Make your meaning plain— express it 
So we'll know, not merely guess it — 
Then, my friend, ere you address it, 
Boil it down. 
Boil out all the extra trimmings— 
Boil it down; 
Skim It well, then skim the trimmings. 
Boll it down. 
When you're sure 'twould be a sin to 
Cut another sentence in two. 
Send it on— and we'll begin to 
Boil it down. —L. A. W. Bnllettn.
