FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Jtot 31, 1897, 
IN NEW JERSET. 
riVbrton's invitation tahSet sMdoi. 
July tl.— In "Drivers and Twiatfrs" of our last issue we inentioiled 
that the Riverton Gun Olub had departed from its usual custom of 
shooting at live birds, and had taken to target-sbootiDg to Pome ex- 
tent. To-day we had ah opportunity of seeine the facilities for en- 
joyiDK this sport, which theciub has at its command. 
With some 15 acres of frround surroundiner its comfortable club 
house there was no difficulty in finding room for a magautrap, though 
there was some trouble in locatiDK it Fatisfac orily as regards back- 
ground. Targets have to be thrown to the north of east, if the light 
is to be favorable at all hours of the dav; accordingly, the magaulrap 
at Riverton is located in that portion of the club's grounds which lies 
between the deadlines of the "new grounds" and the grounds imme- 
diately in rear of them. The background is noc an easy one. several 
isolated trees on the river bank and a bunch of trees to the right that 
looked like an orchard, making it necessary to keep one\'! attention 
fixed closely on the target if anything like a good score was wanted. 
To-day, too, there was a charging hght and a strong wind that quar- 
tered across the flight of the targets, making shootmg very diraoult 
at times. The trap was run very well, and balks were extrf'inely few. 
The speed of the trap was also well kept up, targets being thrown 
fully 50 to 5.5yds, most of the time Prior to the commencement of 
the shoot, Oapt. Mone.v and the man in charge of the grounds had 
paced off 45yds. and planted flags io a semtcircle in front of the trap. 
The man running the trap was directed to keep the speed of the trap 
to a pitch that would carry the targets up to and slightly beyond 
these flags. He did this all the time, but targets thrown to the right 
— that is, to the wind's eye— would often stand still in the most tan- 
talizing manner, while others thrown to the left, down wind, would 
taake haste in a manner that left many a charge of shot hunting 
holes in the air. 
The attendance for a first attempt was very good, and an extremely 
pleasant shoot was the result. Rain, which rbreutened to fall many 
times during the day, kept oft until after 6 P. M , at which hour ail 
were preparing to make for home. The programme arranged for the 
day called for ten events and a total of 160 targets and an entrance 
fee of $17 for the programme. There were three 10-target events, 
three 15-target events, three 20-target events and one as target event. 
The entrance fees (.including the price of the tar^eta) were: $1 in the 
lOa, $1 50 in the lEs, $i in two of the 2f>s and $1.50 in the oiher 20, 
while $3 was the entry fee in the 25 target event. Sixteen shooters 
shot through the programme, making an average of rver three 
squads of five men all the time J. K StaT, of tne Public Ledger, 
of Philadelphia, acttd as cashier, while Will. K Park, of Spnriing 
Life, scored, refereed and shot, helping greatly to keep things 
moving. 
Among those present were Oapt. A, W. Money, of the E C & 
Schultze Powder Company, Limited, the Cap'ain being a member of 
the Riverton Club; Capt. J. A. H. Dres^ell of the U IM U. Company, 
was also present as guest of Ca.pt. Money. U. M O Thomas wa.=! also 
on hand. H. P. Du Pont Collins, of the Du Pont Company, and .T. M. 
Hawkins and Ducker, all three members of the Baltimore Shooting 
Association, were there to shooi. Hawkins in particular being well to 
the front; J. 147 L. Winston, of the Austin Powder, was present and 
took second place with Billy Wolstencroft, the latter shooting for the 
first time a new Greener gun, and doing well with it especially in he 
extra event at 10 pairs; Harry Thurman, Landis, Burton. Anderson, 
Harry Febiger, Car ledg°, Jones and David were also there. A pro 
minent figure was John J. Hallowell, better known to trap shooters as 
Tucson; Hallowell has left the heated confines of Arizona, and now 
n38kes his home and breaks targets within fifteen miles of Philadel- 
phia: he is an acquisition to the trap shooticig circles r f Philadelphia 
that is not to be sneezed at. T. S. Dando and Junius H. Davis, both 
of the Riverton Club, shot all through the programme, and, for nov- 
ices at targets, putverised many a bluerock thoroughly and in good 
time. 
Toward the close of the afternoon a few miss-and-outs at li-'e birds 
were shot on the grounds back of the target sc< re. We have 
no details of these events at hand, but we do remember that U. M. 
C. Thomas distinguished himf elf by scoring 8 straight in the first 
event, staying in the race until the round before a division was 
arrived at. It was a decided novelty for men to be able to shoot a 
string at targets, and then walk right over to the live-bird score and 
take a whack at pigeons. 
On targets no great averages were made; without a wind, there 
might be some chance of making something over 90 per cent, on 
these grounds, but wiih a strong breeze across the line of flight of 
the targets when they leave the magautrap, 90 per cent, is not easy 
to realiee. To daj 's scores were as below:

BERGEN COUNTY GUN CLUB. 
July S6 — C. F. Dudley was the winner of the E. C. cup this after- 
noon, at the traps of the Bergen County Gun Club. He shot a gait 
this afternoon tnat was totally at variance with some of his rec nt 
records, breaking 46 out of 50, then 4 out of 5 of his handicap allow- 
ance of 8, finishing up with 24 out of 25 on the shoot-ofC. H. Blauvelt 
shot up well, but Dudley's gait in the shoot- oflE was too hot for him. 
The two above-named were the only ones who shot off their allow- 
ances, none else being able to reach the 50 mark. The shoot was 
managed by E. G. Horton, who came down from Pleasantville. N. Y. 
to help out the Hackensackians in the absence of the captain, secre- 
tary and pretty nearly all the ofacials. Barring a slight .sprinkling 
of ?rain at intervals, tiie afternoon was a pleasant one for shooting. 
A strong wind prevailed early in the day, but it died away to almost 
nothing before the cup shoot was finished. Scores in this event

count of changing the club's traps to set No. 3, and shooting the 
League traps as set No. 3. Not over 8,000 targets were thrown to day, 
while last year in the same shoot over 6 000 targets were shot at,. 
Some good scores were made noiwithstandmg the delays and balks.

R P. A., Saginaw, Mich.— What is the matter and the proper treat- 
ment for my English setter dog, two years of age? The symptoms 
are; Appetite very variable, and he will eat principally meat- raw. 
cut fine, or cooked. I feed him but once a dav and then light; for 
he will not eat much. His mouth is continually filled with a ropy 
saliva, which strings out of the corner.*; of his mouth and is plastered 
over his neck and breast, and dries on and is very filthy. At times 
he has a very bad breath. Every four or five days he refuses food, 
and eats grass; then will vomit up a wad of it as large as one's fist 
and mixed with a brow n .«ilime. He will then vomit two or thr^e 
times more, consisting of brown slime. I gave him Glover's condi- 
tion pills, also Glover's worm cap=ules; but saw no worms. He is full 
of life, always busy working small iiirds and doves Eyes are clear, 
and he is in good order, but not fat. Have also given pepsin three 
times a day for a week at a time, but it done no good. Can you help 
us out? Ans. Wash the gums and teeth well once a da,y and touch 
the gums with tincture of iron. Give three times a day', after feed- 
ing, a Dill containing:

PUBLISHERS' DEPARTMENT. 
Savage Rifles. 
Sportsmen interested in small-bore smokeless powder rifles should 
send for the 18D7 catalogue of the Savage Repeating Arms Company, 
Utica, N. Y. This catalogue contains much interesting informa- 
tion aside from the technical matter relating to the Savage rifle. Mr. 
Andrew S. White, of Syrncuse. N. Y.,, tells how he killed two buli 
moose on successive days last fall with single bullets, and there are 
also testimonials from IraDodge and John Sinclair. The following ia 
taken from the catalogue: 
"Sportsmen who have never tried the small- caliber rifles and smoke- 
less powder ammunition, are somewhat skeptical as regards the kill- 
ing or stopping power of the small metal covered expanding bullets. 
These are far more deadly than hlack-powder ammunition, however 
large the caliber. The secret of the deadl.y effect of these small pro- 
jectiles lies in their expanding qualities and extraordinary high velo- 
city, which impart a percentage of their energy to the otherwise inert 
flesh and bone; and these substances, being acted upon by so quick a 
blow, become themselves projectiles, following a well-known me- 
chanical law, lacerating the surrounding tissues and bone, and leav- 
ing a path of destruction which is widened by resistance encountered 
by the bullet "—Adv. 
Linenoid. 
LiNENoiD is a composition of pure linen thread reduced to pulp* 
chemically treated, moulded on wooden or iron forms, subjected to 
great heat and pressure, and then finished as de.sired. 
The result is a light, tough, watej proof material, capable of taking 
a high polish and admirably adapted for the seamless construction of 
boats, and many articles in use by sportsmen. Crane Bros., West- 
field, Mass., the famous paper makers, are manufacturers of linen- 
oid. Their latest circular contains particulars relative lo boats and 
canoes listing from $35 up, as well as model yacht hulls, megaphones, 
bic.ycle touring cases, etc It will be sent lo any address on applica- 
ca.t\on.— Adv.

The following letter is from a prominent St. Louis trap shooter: 
G. W, Cole <& Co., Ill Broadway, New York: 
Gents-I take great pleasure id advising of the good results ob- 
tained in using your "3 in- One" oil, and this in view of putting same 
to many seveie tests, and I find it does far more than you claun. As 
a rust remover it has no equal, and forprotection against rust u leads 
all other preparations. 
I shot 200 loads of black powder in a Winchester repeater and put 
gun away without cleaning for two weeks: I then put a rag in barrel 
of gun at breech and poured a quantity of oil in at muzzle and let it 
f-tand over night, soaking thoroughly, and then run a cleaning-rod 
through, and at the first passage ol rod removed all foreign sub- 
stances and left barrel of gun as bright as a silver doUar. 
I also used it on the mechanism ol my repeater, and the gun works 
admirably. 
I am now using the tenth bottle since using up the samples you sent 
me some time ago, and have no douot that as soon as the trap shoot- 
ers of the country a.re advised of the good qualities of your oil you 
will find a big sale for same, as it is the proper article for guns. 
Very respectfully, 
~-Adv. ^ JoHK M. TaEKpjjEY, Pres. King's Smokeless Gun CJub,
