FOREST AND STREAM. 
[June 5, 1897. 
The Rose System. 
XJt'rCA.iN. Y., May 17.~Editor Forest and Stream I have been 
Sreatly pnterfained of late by a perusal of tbe trap editor's notes m 
the Eose system of division of purses nt tournaments, tosrether with 
ivcent articles in your contemporaries by Wm Tell Mitche'l and 
"Prore<!sional." 1 also note your willingness to publish anytbinpr on 
*h)s subject, and at the serious risk of calling dowp upon my-defense- 
less head the witherine jjen of the trap editor, I em yet poingto 
"speak out in meetin' " agrainst what I really believe to be the biggest 
fraud on shootlntr men yet devised. 
Let me preface my statement with an explsnation. Two years 
ago when the Eose system came to my att-ention. I fell in love with 
it; 1 lauded it everywhere I went, and really thought that Mr. Eose 
had done a great thing. He had done the one thing that bad long 
been a bone of contention, he had stopped "dropping for place." 1 
confess that I tried hard to keep in the same way of thinking, but, 
alas and alack! the load is too much, and I now confess, and let it be 
recordefil, that I am more ashamed of ray advocacy of the Eose sys- 
tem than of any other sin of which I have recentl.y been guilty. 
Let me say further, what a considerable portion of the shooting 
World already knows, that I am not a professi> nal, expert, or semi- 
expert, but just a plain, ordinary, every-day shooter, who can shoot 
fairly well one day and fairly poor the next. No gim man or ammu- 
nition maker ever hazarded the reputation of his goods by giving me 
anv that I did not settle for; and I shoot a gun made in foreign lands 
chietly because I don't want to compromise the reputation of any 
American-made gtin. I once had an American-made gun. mar'e by a 
friend of mine, and purely out of regard for him and respect for his 
weapon I laid It away, and bought a gun so well established that my 
Bhoo'ing could do it no injury. Therefore,! am one of the fellows for 
■whem this delectable Rose system was made, and I refuse to be bene- 
fited (?) by it or to shoot when it is in vogue if I can help it. 
1 am glad to know that the trap editor is becoming converted and 
now opposes the Eose system for live birds. The next step is his en- 
tire conversion, and God speed the day. If I understand bis reason- 
ing, he is against the Eose system for live birds by reason of co.^t of 
the birds. Now if I figure correctly, and my earlv education was not 
hopelessly neglected, the prices for the two styles of shooting is ex- 
actly proportionate; i. e.. the number of targets or birds, the amount 
of entrance and price of birds or targets is in exact proportion, as for 
instance, take the ordinary shoot of lO live birds, $10 entrance ; birds 
out at 80 cents each, leaves 87 money for the pool, or lO cents per bird. 
Ten targets, $1 entrance, .10 cents out for birds, leaves 70 cents for 
pool, or 7 cents per bird. In other words, the proportional* price of 
the pigeon over the target is ten times greater, and the shooter puts 
in ten times as mu;h money for the greater. Now, if this Rose sys- 
tem is a good thing when you put in $1 to shoot at 10 targets, it 
should be just as good when you put' in ten times as much money to 
Shoot at 10 birds IE it would protect the amateur In the target race, 
it would certainly take care of him in the pigeon race. The cold- 
blooded tact about it is, that it will not protect him in either, and the 
sonner it is reeoenized the better. 
Now, why do I say this? I have been at this shooting game about 
as long as any. I commeDced it at a time when all ties were shot off, 
Btid if a man got $1 he knew that he had earned it. I have seen the 
iBVolution of guns, targets, ammunition and shooters, and I want to 
confess that in the good old days, before the time of the "baby" 
Shooter or the fellow who wants all the money because he can't hit a 
bam, I used to enjoy going to a shoot; but in the=e days, when the 
Whole idea seems to be to compensate a man for what he does not do 
instead of "deeds done." I see but little satisfaction. This Rose sys- 
tem needs a newname; it ought to beknown as "thesystem by which 
everybody is loser and nobody winner," 
It is claimed that it is in the interest of the amateur; I say that it is 
In the interest of nobody. AVhat do we go to shoots for? Is it simply 
solely and only to lose money? IE so, the shooters as a class are 
asBes. I won't personally admit it. I go to a shoot for several rea- 
sons, but th<^ main one is that I have a notion concealed away inside 
toy bump of vanity (and who hasn't it?) that I can shoot some. I 
"want to indulge my gambling propenFity a little and "see the boys." 
I go to a good old 40, 31. 80 ard 10 shoot. I "see the boys," I indulge 
my propensity to gamble a little by investing my money, and 1 go 
home, loser or winner, as the case may be, with the consciousness 
that if I shot well I got something for shooting well, and if I shot ill 
I got nothing, just what a man deserves who shoots ill. 
Of course the experience of Dr. Helboura, of this city, at the Cob- 
web shoot when be killed 10 live birds alone and got 812.93 against a 
field of the best shooters in America, killed the Eose system for live 
birds beyond resurrection, but what it needs now is enough shooters 
to band together and refuse to attend any more Rose system shoots 
and finish it for target shooting. 1 am done personally, although a 
plain amateur, and it only needs enough shooters to follow to rele- 
gate it where it belongs with the lOi^gauge guns, black powder, and 
the other abnormal conditions that^progress always produces. 
My grievance against the Rose s^tem lies in the fact that it mafces 
me a loser at any shoot I attend, while under the old system I used to 
sometimes land on the right side. The talk that men don't shoot for 
money is rot. What do you put up $1, $3 and $'i for? Why not ask 
a man to travel from Utica toPeekskill. pay $9 railroad fare, $6 hotel 
bill and $12 for ammunition and shoot for the honor of being first or 
fifteenth as the ease may be? That means $J7 expense. Can I, ama- 
teur or profes5!ional, hope to win $37 under the Eose system, beside 
paying my entrances, which would probably amount to $M more? 
Certainly not. What do I do? I stay at home. What would I do 
under the old system? I would go. Why? Because I have there a 
chance of winning those expenses by doing some good shooting. 
Mr. Editor, you may call that chance of making a "scoop" a gambling 
chance, an unfair chance or whatever you please, but it is the chance 
that takes men like myself who pay their own expenses htmdreds of 
miles from home, and be it the veriest "Will-o'-the-Wisp" it will 
always lead shooters to attend shoots. What seems to have been lost 
sight of in this controversy is that while it was not always a dead 
sure thing for Heikes, Glover, Elliott and Fulford, et. al , under the 
old system to get all the money, under this Eose system it is a dead 
sure "thing that no man of my shooting ability coiild win a cent in a 
thousand years, while under the old system we occasionally got 
away whole and a little better. 
I have refrained from discussing the manifest inequity of this sys- 
tem, how it does not compensate a good score; but suffice it to say 
-that I take entire issue with any man who asserts that it is ec[uitable, 
and at some other time I will prove that no systfm ever devised ever 
worked such rank injustice or was such an absolute ruin to shooting 
tournaments as this has been. Now let all the "tender feet" sharpen 
their quills and I wiU, the editof permitting, answer them, one and 
all, Henry L. Gatbs.

Androscogrgin Gun Club. 
Lewiston, Me., May 82.— The regular shoot of the Androscoggin Gun 
Club was held to-day. As the:wind blew hard, and now and then a 
drop of rain fell, the scores are, rather lower than usual. Interest in 
trap shooting is steadily gaining ground in Maine. 
In the events given below, No. 1 was at known angles; No. 8 was a 
86-target merchandise handicap, known angles; No. 8 was the Doten 
challenge cup contest; No. 4 was at unknown angles. Scores were:

ILLINOIS STATE SPOKTSMKN. 
Chicago, 111., May 29 —The programme of the old reliable Illinois 
State Sportsmen's Association compares very favorably with more 
pretentious productions of a similar nature, and there is all reason to 
espf ct a good shoot and a comfortable time next week. Consider- 
able feeling among many members of the Association was aroused 
this week by an unfortunate allusion to the representatives of the 
Association as "barnacles," in the columns of a sporting paper of this 
city. Such an allusion would seem to be uncalled for, nor would any 
reference to it be deserved, were it not for the fact that it bears 
rather heavily and ur jus ly upon a few members of the Illinois Asso- 
ciation, upon whom the heat and burden of the day have fallen 
in the preparations for this year's shoot. All this work has 
really devolved upon two men of the committee, Mr. 
R. B. Organ and Mr. W. P. Mussey. Colonel Felton, the 
president, has been sick and unable to attend to the detail 
of the work, and others of the committee have been non-resident 
absentees. In addition to this Mr. Organ has had serious illness in 
bis family, so that all the work has progressed under difficulties. I 
cannot see that the tournament stands to lack anything of its former 
prestige or its former distinctive features. There are some things 
about this Association which are not modern, but not all modern 
things are good or desirable, and it is no mean distinction to say that 
Illinois has a shoot different from the average modern trap tourna- 
ment, which I take to be about as strictly devoid of fun and as full of 
business as any employment yet engaged in by mortal beings. It Is 
true that we still have the absurd 10-gauge rules, which are a disgrace 
to any State, because of their essential and absolute absurdity, but it 
should be borne in mind that these rules were passed upon the Associa- 
tion and upon Chicago by a non-resident vote, and it Is a curious fact 
that the very men who opposed these rules most vigorously are those 
who are now in the management for the current year, and who are 
subjected to a criticism which should at least be specific if it claims 
to be just. Neither Col. Felton, Mr. Organ nor Mr. Mussey would 
allow the ridiculous 10-gange rules to last a minute on the record 
book of the Association If their personal vote could remove them; 
indeed. Col. Felton has at least once and I think more than once 
moved to have the rules purified by the expurgation of this clause, 
though without success. I feel sure that a more careful review of 
the facts in the case would leave the writer of the "barhacle'* com- 
ment without any disposition to repeat such charges against the men 
who have this year had the thankless task of getting up a strong 
programme in a hard-times year. The real barnacles, if we are to 
make this a question of shellfish, are to be found among the men who 
foist such absurdities as the 10-gauge rules upon a numerical minority 
which possesses a majority in sound intelligence and progressive 
thought, and not among the men who try to get up a good shoot for 
the benefit of the whole Association, including the adherents to these 
archaic rules. 
We shall have a good shoot next week, rules or no rules, and bar- 
nacles or no barnacles, and it will he far better lor all of us brethren 
to dwell together in harmony. 
EUREKA SPECIAL. 
r Eureka Gun Club, of Chicago, holds a special shoot to-day at the 
club grounds. Seventy ninth street and Vfncennes avenue, beginning 
at 10 A. M. and lasting till the shades of evening. There are two se'S 
of traps and a full programme of sweeps, including three to be~shot 
under the Rose system and the regular club medal shoot. 
OALUMET HfflGHTS CLUB BOOK. 
The Calumet Heights Club has issued a unique and attractive club 
book, setting forth the pleasant features of tois happily constituted 
organization in a way which might be emulated by similar country 
clubs. The peculiar scenery of the region along the lake shore is 
lUustratPd by many beautiful half-tone pictures, all taken from ama- 
teur photographs made by members of the club, and the pleasantly 
written text which fhake.s the body of the book is sufficient to give a 
very fine idea of the enchantments of the place to one not so lucky 
as to be a member or a frequent visitor. The difle/ent forms of sport 
obtaining at the club grounds have each a distinct and attractive 
showing, and all in all the club book is a very fetching souvenir of 
modern ci y sportsmanship. 
AraORA CLUB. 
A two days' shoot was held at Aurora, III , forty mUes from 
Chicago, closing May 37. some thirty shooters appearing. Graham, 
of Aurora, won the silver cup in competition for the State amaieur 
championship. 
TWO TUTTLES IN THE FIELD. 
Mr. C. W.. Tattle, Of Auburn, N. Y., who is intimately concerned 
with the N. Y, State shoot at Auburn this year, Is good enough to 
write and extend me an invitation to come to the tournament of the 
Empire State. This would be pleasant though itcould not was. Also 
it would be pleasant to accept the invitation which at the same time 
comes from Mr. C. A. Tut'le, who lives away out in Anaconda, Mont., 
and who is also the mainstay of his State tournament. The latter 
Mr. Tuttle writes that should I see his town in June instead of April I 
would think more of it, and says the club will welcome the Forest 
AND Stream representative very gladly. It is not needful to see Ana- 
conda in June, for its men make summer where they go; hut I can't 
go to Anaionda any more than I can go to Auburn, owing to a diffi- 
culty 1 bave with my astral body now and then. But how does it 
happen that these two Tuttles are in the field, both with nearly the 
same name, both at the head of shooting matters in their respective 
States, and both writing me at the same time, asking me to come and 
call on them ? This is a shore funny world. 
NON RESIDENT LIGHTS 
We shall have quite a number of non-resident lights of the trap- 
shooting world here at the State shoot next week. Fred Quimby is 
DOW in town, but says it is possible he will not be able to stay over till 
the shoot, as he is very busy just now. This would be the first shoot 
of the Illinois State missed by Mr. Quimby for many years, and it is 
hardly likely that he will be able to stay away. 
Mr. Noel E, Money will go to St. Louis to-morrow night, but will be 
back here Bexl Wednesday and take a hand in the festivities. Mr. 
Money is very busy with the new work connected with the recent 
oiganization of the American E. C. and Schultze Powder Co., Ltd , 
this impoitsnt combination of the two strong firms being necessarily 
attended with wide-reaching changes and extensions of interests in 
different parts of the country. Each of these representative powders 
has had its adherents by scores and thousands, and human mind fails 
to comprehena the arguments which will be cut short when it comes 
to be generally understood that both powders are now to be made in 
America and by the same firm. Mr. Money tells me that the building 
of the big new plant will mean notonly one, butvery many busy days 
at Oakland, and I fan y he will have earned the vacation trip to 
England which he has promised himself for next autumn. 
Harvey Mc.\Hirchy will of course be at the Illinois shoot. Mr. 
McMurcny says that there is a perfect craze for trap shooting on the 
Pacific Coast just now, and that within a few miles of San Francisco 
or Sacramento the club houses can be counted fairly by the dozen. 
The sport is on a healthy and permanent footing to all visible Intents 
and purposes, and the second America of the coast is not to be 
ranked second to any section of the States when it comes to shooting 
afi'alrs. 
Paul North confirms Mr. McMurchy's story of the trap boom in 
California, and says he has recently put in six magautraps on the 
Coast, with the prospect of more to follow soon. Mr. North will not 
attend the State shoot here, having left for MiUvaukee last night, but 
he will be at Springfield for the Ohio State event, of course.

A HOT RACK AT BOILING SPRINGS. 
May 18.— A 100-target race, unknown angles, $7 entrance, including 
price of the targets, drew out nine shooters to the grounds of the 
Boiling Springs Gun Ciub to-day. Among the number was O. H. 
Dickey, of Boston, Mass., one of the best' shots in the country. He 
showed up well, but had to take second place. Qus Greiff, who is just 
now shooting a very hot gait, taking first money with a score of 94. 
It is worthy of note also that Greiflf lost three out of his last four tar- 
gets, his score up to the end of the 90th round showing 93 out of £6. 
The 100 targets were shot in a series of five SO-target events. Below
