FOREST AND STREAM. 
{May S, 18y7. 
The Rose System and Its Friends. 
A VERY popular saying: is "Save us from our friends." CoiiM the 
Rose svstem talk ifcwoulri probably make use of that exprp^Finu in 
connection with Will Park's recent definition oE its merits. In hi*: rlf- 
ecripiion of the Baltimore Inter.-itate tournament he says this: "The 
money is divided under the Rose system, which is supposed to give 
the axnateur a chance to win, and prevent the experts from carrying 
away more than Their share of the money." 
In this short sentence there are three things to find fault with ; 
fii-st, the word "supposed;" second, the term "amateur" as distinct 
from "experts;" third, the phrase "prevent the experts from carry- 
ing away more than their share of the money." 
THE TBBM "AMATEITr" USBD INOORBECTLY 
To consider these three points intelligently we shall have to discuss 
the term "amateur" first. In using the word as he has. Mr. Park has 
made a very common error, one which Forest ai^d Stream has done 
its hest to correct. As we have often pointed out, trap-shooters 
are to be divided into two classes, professionals and amateurs. These 
two classes must again bedividediDtb three sub-classes: expert, semi- 
eSpert and novice. 
Now, the expert amateur is as well able to take care of himself, in 
the matter of division of purses, as is the paid or professional expert. 
The Rose system is not for him ; the "old" inequitable svstem would 
suit him far better, for he is numbered among the crackerjacks, and 
can pretty nearly break 'em all, as the saying is. The Rose sys- 
tem is really a benefit for semi-experts and novices of both classes, 
professionals and amateurs. But whereas there are twenty amateurs 
to one professional in the latter classes (perhaps even a larger pro- 
portion), it is possible that Mr. Park thought the percentage of pro- 
fessionals in these classes to be too small to take into account, hut at 
the same time he totally forgot the expert amateur, a class that is 
increasing yearly as the sport grows more popular. As Rolla Heikes 
puts it: "There are a whole lot of good ones now." 
NO SUPPOSITION ABOUT IT. ' 
The word "supposed" is evidently inserted for a purpose. In other 
words, our friend is on the fence. He leaped it not so very long ago, 
and whooped it up for the Rose Sy.stem and his "ama*^eurs." Since 
the crackerjacks have complained so lone and so loudly (save in 
print) about the system, his opinion has wavered and he has climbed 
back to the top of the fenee, where he may now be "supposed" to be 
watching and waiting for a chance to get down on whichever side 
proves to be the right one. 
There is no supposition about the matter at all. By dividing up the 
purse in an equitable manner, and not on a gambling basis, the big 
winnings of the espert, professional or amateur, have been knocked 
silly. Big winnings under the Rose system are not possible; they 
were not only possible under the old system— they were absolute cer- 
tainties for one or two men. And big winnings mean proportionately 
large losings, and the losings came out of the pockets of the pemi- 
experts and novices of both classes. Of course the same subclasses 
are the producers under the Rose system, but to a less degree because 
Winnings are proportionately less. Semi-experts, if they shoot up to 
their average, can always come pretty close to having tbeir fun for 
nothing if purses are divided under the Rose system. Many times 
they will come out a few dollars ahead. Under the old system they 
had only the gambling chance of "a good hole" in one event to pull 
them out clear, and every shooter who has attended tournamenis for 
any length of time knows that the serai expert's chance of such a 
piece of good luck is the slimmest of the slim. 
Novices always have to pay for experience. They must expect 
this; it isthe casein everything, and in every business or sport. We 
maintain, however, that under the Rose system the novice pays less 
, for experience than under the old system." And this is no mere "sup- 
position." 
"their shark of the money " 
A more extraordinary phrase than that from which the above is 
taken we never saw used in similar connection. Mr. Park mu<t have 
written the words without thinking. Neither Forest and Stream, Mr. 
Rose, the Rose system, nobody, in fact, not even Mr. Park, wishes for 
one'momentto "prevent the experts from carrying away their share 
of the money." On the contrary. Forest And Stream in particular 
maintains that the experts shall always be entitled to carry away 
"their share of the money"— but it must be "their share," not more 
than their share, nor less than their share. 
The Rose system pays a man for what he does: it pays him equita- 
bly, for the highest score always receives more than a lower one. But 
the old system does not regard skill to anv great extent; it favors 
luck largely. A man can break 18 or 17 out of 20 and receive more 
than a man who went straight. Can an expert who broke straight 
under such circumstances be said to have carried away "his share"? 
Or put it this way in a similar event of four moneys: One 20, five 19s, 
six 18s and on6-17. The 20 ta kes 40 per cent of the purse and the 17 
takes in per cent ; each 19 takes 6 per cent , and each 18 takes 3 33 per 
cent. Does every man take away his share of the money? 
The Rose system does not "prevent the experts from carrying away 
their share of the money " But the old system almost invariably does 
— either 7)io?'e than their share or Zess than their share The sooner 
this fact is recognized the better it will be for trap-shooting. 
Bridgeport Gun Club. 
Bridgeport, Conn., April 23.— Early on Fast Day morning 1he 
Bridgeport Gun Club members were all astir on their grounils piak- 
ing ready for their shoot. The programme consisted of 13 events, all 
but three at unknown angles. Representatives were here from Stam- 
ford, Norwalk, Hartford, New Haven and the Maugatuck Valley. 
From 15 to 25 took part, and kept it up well during i be dav. The tar- 
gets were empires, thrown .5Tyds., from bluerock traps, at about 15ft. 
in the highest elevation. Sixty-eight was the highest average made, 
and that by Mr Sanford, of this city. Our grounds seem to be too 
hard to make high scores on, yet there are no finer in New England , 
with sky background. Three thousand targets were thrown, and 
a good time was had. Following is the score in the events, while 
there was much shooting before and after. 
The $15 for three best averages, divided 40, 30. 20 and 10 per cent . 
went to the following shooters: First, Sanford 68: second, Lewis fi5; 
third, Beers eund Burbridge 63; fourth. Hendry. The events for aver- 
ages were from 3 to 11 inclusive, making 100 birds:

Texas State Shoot. 
The twenty-first annual meeting and tournament of the Texas 
State .'Sportsmen Association was held at San Antonio, TeS., on 
April 20. 21 and P3 While the attendance was small, it. was one of 
the most interesting meetings ever held in the State One feature 
was noticeable— the improvement iU the shooting of manV of the 
members. 
Of the Association medals, Capt Foster, of Fort Sam Houston Gun 
Club, captured the target medal oh the good score of 48 out of 50. 
"^^^.B^^^ ^^^^^ went to .Toe George and Oscar Guessaz on the score 
of 48 out of 25 e«eh. The individual chamnionship medal on live 
birds was won by Lieut. Pegrarn Whit worth, of the Fort Sara Houston 
Olub, with 19 out of 20, While Mr. Whitworth rather had the best 
luck in dra,wing easy birds, he gave a splendid exhibition of nerve 
and skill. 
_Nest year the State Association will again meet iu San Antonio. 
The force that has hitherto been devoted to giving the famous "Mid- 
winter tqurnaments" will be thrown with that of the State organiza- 
tion and the two combined will arrange for a tournament on a large 
scale. 
At the meeting, Wednesday, the 21st, the question of handicapping 
the experts, so as to give the rising amateur a chance, was the all- 
absorbing topic. The Rose system also was thoroughly discussed, 
and the consensus of opinion was that the Rose system and fome sys- 
tem of handicaupirg should be adopted, ilr. A :B. Cutzer.was chosen 
for President, Albert Steves Vice-President, and Ole. Guessaz Secre- 
tary, all of San Antonio.

notes. 
The dates for the big shoot of Texas for 1898 are April 21, 22, 23 and 
24. The attention of the shooting world is directed to the above 
dates. 
Vf allace Miller and his pump made a great many friends. His shoot- 
ing is away up yonder, and if he keeps up his gait Texas will place 
him in Holzapfel's shoes. 
One sad thing about this meeting was the vacant place hitherto 
occupied by John Ellis. He died in the city ot Mexico on the 2d mst. 
after a short illness. Pneumonia carried him off. Mr. Ellis came to 
Texas about ten years ago, and his aft'ability, fairness and shooting 
qualities endeared him to every one with whom he came in contact. 
Peace to his ashes. 
Lieut. Whitworth won the individual championship on live birds 
with a handsome Parker gun, which he handled with rare dex- 
terity. 
As usual, E. C. powder is on top in the averages. Texas Field, 
Sherbrooke Gun Club. 
SHiTRBaooKB, P. Q., April 16.— This club's opening tournament came 
off Good Friday as advertised. A good number of visiting sports- 
men turned up, making, with the home team, S9 shooters. Trap^ 
were kept fairly busy from 9 uniil 6. Everybody appeared satisfied 
with the way things went, and Sherbrooke hopes to see all these 
faces and many more at their grand annual on July 1, Dominion 
Day. Scores:

Something to Interest *' Flinchers." 
Cleveland, O., April 30.— .JBditor Forest and Stream: I notice your 
request for a cure for flinching, and would say that for the past yeai- 
or so I have had a bad case of "fudging"; so much so, that I have 
fallen off in my shooting so badly that 1 am ashamed of myself. 
At Rochester, N. Y., a week or so ago I happened to mention in the 
presence of Jack Winston that I was fudging badly, and he told me 
to put on a kid glove and it would stop me. Following his advice, I 
put one on, and in the next 20-bird race I broke 18 and did not fudge 
OBce. The two that I missed being low left-quarterers from No. 1 
position, shooting over a magautrap. 
Have found since that I can shoot without any fudging to speak of, 
and hope the good advice given me by Winston may aid some other 
unfortunate shooter. Paul North. 
W. G. Sergeant, of Joplin, Mo., writes to us that the Joplin Gun 
Club will hold a three days' shoot. May 2.9-^7, the week immediately 
following the State shoot at Kansas Oily. The Joplin shoot is "open 
to the world," and Sergeant will see to it that everybody gets all the 
shooting he wants, as well as a fair show to get some of the silver 
dollars floating around Joplin. Paul Litzke writes us in regard to 
the Joplin shoot as follows: "There will be a three days' tournament 
at Joplin Mo., the week following the Missom-i State shoot. W. G. 
Sergeant and C. M. Sumner are the promoters of it. This will be a 
target shoot and added money to the amount of S300 (01 perhaps 
S500) will be hung up. The amount will be definitely announced in 
the programme, which whl be issued shortly."

Bhode Island Trap-Shooting Association. 
Providence, R I., April 22 —The scores gi^en below were made to- 
day at tne regular weekly shoot of the Rhode I land Trap- Shooting 
Association : 
Boston Gun Club. 
Wellington, April 21.— What the Boston Gun Club's weekly meet 
lacked in point ot attendance to-day was more than balanced' by the 
enthusiasm of the nine shooters, who, as usual, alighted from' the 
1 :45 train at Wellington. On these grounds the fun and enjoyment is 
hardly dependent on size of crowd, and, whether, one squad or three, 
the same pleasure is extracted from the extermination of the Ethi- 
opian .saucer. The afternoon was a fine one, from a weather point 
of view, a variable wind being the only excuse for npt breaking all 
the targets thrown. Events below:

April fS.— The twelfth weekly shoot of the Boston Gun Club, at 
Wellington, Wednesday, April S8, turned out fully as enjoyable as ajl 
the previous eleven, and being favorably treated as regards weather, 
the regular coterie of enthusiasts faced the five traps with their usual 
equanimity. Mingled together were the novice, in his initial attempt 
at wing shooting, and the veteran, who had fired his 1,1" 00 shots and 
over, both at the trap and in the field. Both were having the same 
good time, though success much more often crowned the efforts of 
the latter and as the more fortunate one ho would be called upon to 
share his knowledge and give to others the benefit of his experience. 
This he would readd.y do, and the afternoon was all too short for the 
necessary practice entailed by the valuable tips. A high and variable 
wind interfered with the arrangements many had made for straight 
scores, yet two were captured by Sheffield and one by Gordon. 
Others were satisfied with less, or "had to be. Summary as follows:
