Iowa Sportsmen's Association. 
Des MoiSES, la.. May 6.— The twentieth annual touraament of the 
Iowa Sportsmen's Association closed to-day. The attendance was 
not as large as was expected. The weather was nice and pleasant 
and quire a number of spectators were on hand to see tbe shooting-. 
The trade was represented by the following gentlemsn: S A. Tucker, 
of Parker Bros.; R. O. Heilies and J. A. R. Elliott, of Winchester 
Arms Co. and E C. Powder Co.; F. S. Parmelee, of Remington Arms 
Co.; John Mackie, of Peters Cartridge Co. and Kina's Smokeless 
Powder Co. Owing to the small attendance on the last day only six 
events were shot. 
One of the most interesting fea ures of the tournament was the 
shooting of Mrs. Dr. Day, of St. Paul, who made an average of over 81 
per cent, in the events she took part in during the three day-\ She used 
King's Smokeless powder, loaded by the Paters Cartridge Co., in their 
new Victor shell. At a meeting of the Association held at the Kirk- 
wood Club, the following ofScers were elected: .John Q. Smith, Al- 
gona, Presideni ; ^'elson Royal, Vice President; George McCartney.

May 7.— To day's regular weekly shoot of the Montpelier Gun Club 
was made a little more interestmg by a special handicap race at 50 
targets, for the souvenir keg of W-A powder, donated by the Laflin 
& Band Powder Co., with the following additional prizes: A picture, 
••Shooting over the Decoys," given by B. M. Shepard, and a revolvsr 
given by Wheelock Dawley. The score of this event in detail will 
show that some of the bo,ya brought their shooting clothes with them 
and must have worn them before. Our friend Hoi ington landed 51, 
one point more than the law allowed him, was tied with Standish at 
.50 for first place, taking first and second prizes: Standish the silver 
keg and Hoisington tbe picture. The tie for third place and prize 
was settled between Tower and Barrett in events 7 and 8; Barrett 
took the little gun, and will probably be next heard from in some of 
the pistol tournaments. Our shoot was made doubl.v interesting by 
the presence, of our neighbors and friends of the Recreation Gun 
Club, of Barre, Vt., Messrs. Hoisington, Eastman, Griffln, Reynolds, 
Bennett and Houghton, all gentlemen whom it is a pleasure to meet, 
and, as the scores show, can shoot a hot race. 
The strong wind which prevailed durmg the entire afternoon stole 
not a few birds from those of us who are inclined to be deliberate in 
our shooting, and made it a case of hurry up or miss, sometimes 
both. 
Trap No. 4 "slipped an eccentric" in the midst of the first squad's 
second round, compelling us to shoot remainder of race and events 
with but four traps, and at first caused a little confusion, but Cap'. 
Barrett very quickly had things going straight again, with boy at 
trap No. 5 doing double duty

G. B. Walton, Sec'y, 
Figuring on the Rose System. 
In regard to the Driver and Twister on the Rose system and W. 
Tell Mitchell, which appeared in the last issue of Forest and Stream, 
our attention has been drawn to the fact that the person referred to 
has spread himself in the pages of a contemporary on this very ques- 
tion in its issue of May 8, 
Wtf must compliment Mr. Mitchell on his figures, which are very 
nearly correct as to amount won by Heikes on the first day of the 
Cobweb Gun Club's tournament, March 16 last. The accuracy of 
these figures is all the more remarkable since Mr. Mitchell is wrong 
in his premises: He states that his figures are based upon Mr. 
Heikes's "'scores at the recent tournament of the Cobweb Gun Club, 
at which $10 were added in all 15-target events, and $17.50 in all 20- 
target events." He also adds: "At this shoot Mr. Heikes scored 159 
targets out of '170 shot at, or nearly 94 per cent." 
For fllr. MiLchell's information we would stale that the Cobweb 
Gun Club did not add a cent to any purse, but deducted the price of 
targets at the rate of 2 cents from each purse, donating 850 in gold as 
average money in six portions: four of $10 each and two of J5 each, 
the averages counting: on all programme evens for both days We 
would also state that Mi', 'heikes broke 15=i out of 170 shot at, not 159, 
and that his average wai 91.1 per cent., not "nearly 94." 
As staled above, the correctness of Mr. Mitcheirs figures, based, as 
they evidently were, upon very wrong premises, is remarkable. How 
he arrived at them is past our comprehension, unless they were fur- 
nished him. 
Taking 1 be figures as accurrate, what do they show? And what does 
Mr. Mitchell intend to prove by them? He says that they lead him to 
"believe the system is radically unjust," jet he aaduces no other 
figures wherewith to draw "compari-ions. He is satisfied easily with 
a solitary instance of one man's winnings under peculiar circum- 
stances, and condemns the system at once The peculiar circumstances 
are these: J.o added money; an average ettry list of somewhere 
about twenty-one. and tbe following shooters at the score every time: 
Heikes, Glover, Grimm, Budd, Fred Bennett, Dickey, Van Dyke, W. 
Bennett, Fulford. Bartlett, Leroy, Apgar, Edwards, RlKe, Fairmount, 
M. H. Clark and Pringle; a total of seventeen shooters, from which 
two hot squads could be formed that i; would take all the States in 
the UniQp to duplicate ; and even then we think any one who at- 
tempted that feat would be badly left. 
But Mr. Mitchell's argument is based entirely on his desire to make 
trap-shooting a means of livelihood and not a recreation. He would 
make it a business, while we would have it a sport. He wants the 
experts, paid and unpaid, to get big winnings, while we want the 
semi-experts and novices to get their fun as cheaply as possible. Mr. 
Mitchell is in favor of a system that will permit a man to drop for 
place and thereby eet more for his score than a man who broke 
more than he did ; we are not. 
It is in the last paragraph but one of the letter above referred to 
that Mr. Mitchell really gives himself away. This is what he writes: 
"Weil, some readers may ask, what are we going to do about it? 
Just simply agitate this subject until a judicious and equitable sys- 
tem of division of purses is adopted, and then shoot all races under a 
handicap of from 16 to ?4yds., and throw' your targets at more acute 
angles, when fewer men will get in the purses, and thereby make 
shorter divisions." 
There's the rub: "Fewer men will get in the purses, and thereby 
make shorter divisions " It requires no prophet to foretell who 
those "fewer puen" would be.

AUDUBON GUN CLUB. 
BuFFiLO, N. Y, May 3.— To-day's weekly shoot of the Audubon 
Gun Club was well attended, twenty-eight shooters taking part in the 
club badge event. No. 3 on the list. C. S. Buikhardt won in Class A; 
William Hines, Jr., and F.N Alderman tied in Class B, Hines wm- 
ning on the shoo off; J A. Kennedy won in Class C, 
Owing to the near approach of the close of the club badge season, 
only six more events remaining to be shot this season, there is con- 
siderable interest manifested in the results. The Class A badge race 
seems to be the best contested, and it looks as though it will take the 
full fifty two shoots, if not more, to decide the winner. There are 
now sis ties in this class, the following' having won this trophy five 
times each: L. W. Bennett, L. G. Northrup, F. D. Kelsey, Alex. For- 
rester. E. C. Burkhardt and C. S, Burkhardt. In Class B George P. 
McAr hur has tbe call, having won that emblem six times, with 
William Hrnes, Jr., a close second, with five wins, and E. Reinecke, 
Louis Fries and J. J. O'Brien, four each. Arthur Coombs seems to 
have a sure thing on Class C, having won that prize eleven times. 
The attendance prizB also has a leaning toward him, he having an 
unbroKen record to dale for that prize. George Zoeller stands next 
in Class C with seven wins to his credit, and W. R. Eaton third, with 
six.

Trap at Norfolk, Va. 
Norfolk, Va,, May 3.- Io antici'^ation of a visit from T. H. Keler, 
a popular sportsman and representative of ths Peters Cartridge and 
King's Powder companies, of Cincinnati, W. N. White and Pete Gal- 
lagher, two of the leading spirits of the Portsmouth Gun Club, ar- 
ranged for a sboot for Saturday afternoon, but the elements pre- 
vented. By main force and a promise of a bountiful repast of soft 
crabs, Mr. Keller was persuaded to remain over until to-day; and as 
a further inducement a friendly match was arranged, and an "un- 
known" was matched against him. When the match was called the 
veteran Capt. Cramer stepped to the score as Mr. Keller's opponent, 
but good naturedly said he would nnt take advantage of the visitor, 
and his last miss looked very much like he intentionally pointed the 
gun in the wrong direciion. 
After the mat h a team race was arranged, Mr. Keller and Capt, 
CratBcr picking the teams. A most en joya le afternoon was spent in 
thi^ manner. Mr. Keller is knovra tnrnushout the country as a 
sportsman, and invariably makes many friends for tha goods he rep- 
resents wherever he goes. Scores:
