Velocity' of" a Falling Bullet. 
Highlands, N. C— I notice a repl.v to P McO. in Forest and Stream 
June 12, which is one ^rpquemly made, as to thevplocity of a ball 
fired directly upward, on its return to the ground. It is easily de- 
monstrable that, the return of the ball will be tnade in the same time 
and with the same velocity as the upward flitrht of it. For the upward 
force is exerted to OTercome gravity, and when the ball stops the up- 
ward force is exhausted. Now it is clear if we say the upward force is 
a: and the return force is y; x must be equal to y, or if not where has 
the force expended gone to The resistance of the air is the same 
both ways, that is clear. Hence, if a ball fired directly upward should 
fall on the head of the shooter, the wound inflicted would be equal 
to the direct effect of the ball discharged point blank. Further, what 
stops the ball? Clearly the resistance of the air and the force of 
gravity. Now, the ball in its upward flight bas overcome both these 
and neutralized them. Immediately the influence of these is exerted 
on the ball and it descends, and as the resistance of the air is equal 
both ways the gravity must cause the ball to fall with the same force 
and in the same time as it ascended; or, in other words, the upward 
impulse being equal to the force of gravity, this mu«t be equal to the 
descending impulse, and both impulses are then equal, the resistance 
of the air being equal both ways. H. Stbwakt. 
[Our correspondent errs iv an important particular- The resistance 
of the air lessens the velocity of the bullet both ascending and de- 
scending. This is, perhaps, best illustrated by a Dractical example. 
The extreme vertical range of the .SOcal. army rifle is given as about 
2,000yds., and the muzzle velocity of its bullet as a,000ft. per second. 
Assume that the bullet has been fired vertically upward, and having 
reached a height of 2,000yds., begins to fall. The first second of its 
fall (leaving out of account the resistance of the airj it drops with a 
velocity of a little more than 32ft. per second, the second second with 
a velocity of 64+feet per second, the third with a velocity of 96-f-feet 
per second, and so on. To reach the earth at this rate would require 
something over 19 seconds (t= V'_^= /eiOOOX But as the force of 
V J^g. IH / 
gravity only increases the velocity of its fall, the fixed amoun t of 3?+ft. 
per second, at the end of 19 seconds or at the moment of impact with the 
eartb, its velocity would only be 608ft. per second ( /=gt. =32X19). 
As a matter of fact, it started with a velocity of 2,000ft. per second, 
so we see that the velocity of the bullet on striking the earth cannot 
be compared with its initi'il velocity. To put it in another way, it 
would require fiij^ seconds' time for a falling body ac ed upon by 
gravity alone to attain a velocity of 3,0C0f t. per second (t=— =?^) 
and this would necessitate its being dropped from an elevation of 
nearly twelve mMe.s, a distance extravagantly in excess of the ver- 
tical range of any small-bore pro.iectile-(H-=i4gt 2=16 x 3,906) ] 
In both cases the figures for the velocity ot the falling bullet are 
obtained without takmg into account the resistance of the air, which 
would, of course, tend to reduce the veloci'j-, so that the actual dis- 
parity between the upward and downward flight would be still greater 
than appears 
Our correspondent's contention would be correct only if the bullet 
were fired in a vacuum. In that case, the bullet, starling with a 
velocity of 2,000ft. per second, would attain a vertical elevation of 
nearly twelve miles, and return to the earth with exactly the same 
velocity with which it started.

DRIVERS ANP TWISTERS, 
Fulford's letter to "Charlie and Mae," which appeared' in- our issue 
of July 31. has attracted attention to a subject that has been in evi- 
dence very much this season: we refer to that of proffSiaionals at 
trap-shooting tournaments. It is a fact that there have been more 
■•professionals barred'" and "open to amateurs only " tournaments 
this season than at any other period in the history of trap-shooting. 
It is also a fact that it has been harder to draw a crowd, even with 
K.500 added money, than at any time since added money became a 
feature at tournaments. We do not think the jjrofessional shooter is 
altogether to blame for the lack of patronage; no doubt he scares 
some shooters away, hut there are several other causes, chief of 
which are the multiplicity of gun clubs, the large number of tourna- 
ments held every season, and the ease with which any shooter can 
now- get all the shooting he wants close around his home It is also 
an expensive thing to go to a tournament, and times are such that fat 
poekettbpoks are a scarcity. 
Tom Keller is off again, He doesn't get into New York and have a 
chance to go the rounds of his acquaintances before he blows but 
Bgain^ and we don't see him again until he happens to be wafted in 
once more ' All of which means that Tom is a hustler; that the King 
Powder Company and the Peters Cartridge Company know it; and 
that Tom has lots of friends up here who want to see him oftener 
than they get a chance to do nowadays. No doubt he'll be back by 
S(-pt 28, the date of the New Jersey State Sportsmen's Association's 
tournament A Jer.'ey shoot without Tee Kay would be like a julep 
without "the weeds." 
H. P. Coflins was in the eity on Monday of this wepk. en route for 
the Lewiston Interstate shoot. He was to pick up U. M. C. Thomas 
oii the midnight train at Bridgeport, and the pair were going through 
ta Lewiston together. "Du Pont" Collins reported business good and 
•work quite numerous to satisfy all his wants. Oq bis return from 
Lewiston he will make a ten day's trip to the South and hopes to le 
back in time for the Montpelier shoot in the end of August. 
Tbe ten-men team race between the Eureka and Garfield gun clubs 
of Chicago, shot on July 24, was a very close affair. The Eurekas won 
bv 7 targets, scoririg 217 to 210, each team shooting at 250 targets. Tbe 
Eurekas' average was 86.8, a decidedly high team average; the Gar- 
fields made an average of 84, an average for a ten men team that is 
not to be despised. 
The date i'or the fifth tournarnent of the Pennsylvania and Ohio 
Border<}un 'Leagije has been changed from Aug 19 to Aug. 12, a 
week earlier than' was intended. The tournament will be held 
as announced— at Warren,- O., under the auspices of the Warren 
Gun Club. 
The programme for the Montpelier, Vt., Interstate Association's 
tournament. Aug. 23-26, is now ready for distribution, and can be 
had on application to the secretary of the club, Mr. George B. Walton. 
The programme calls for ten events on the first day, five at 15 targets, 
and five at 20 targets each. All the 20-target events are at known 
angles, and all the IS-target events, except the first one, event No. 1, 
are at unknown angles; No. 1 is at known angles. The events run 
alternately, a 15 and then a 20. The club adds $90 on this day, $8 to 
each 15-target event, and $10 to each 20-target event. The entrances 
are as usual, $1.50 and $2. On the second day the first nine events on 
the programme are precisely the same as on the first day. The same 
amount of added money is also apportioned to each purse. The 
tenth event is a handicap affair, 25 to -83 targets, known angles, $?.50 
entrance, with $30 added to the pur.se. This makes a total of $110 
added money on the second day. The Rose .system of dividing purses 
will be adhered to. but the ratio points are 5. 4, 3 and 2, there being 
four moneys in every event Guns and ammunition should be sent 
in care of H. A. Fiske, Montpelier, Vt. There will also be, of course, 
plenty of shells for sale on the grounds. The shooting grounds are 
very easy of access, being only ten minutes' ride from the hotels, of 
which four are spoken highly of in the programme: the Pavilion. 
Montpelier House. Exchange and Union House, The proprietors of 
each of these houses are members of the local gun club, and will do 
their level best to make things comfortable for their guests. 
So Fred Gilbert has once more wrested the target championship 
title from Eolla Heikes. When Fred first won it at the Guitenberg 
race track in. May of Inst year, he practically took away from Rolla 
the title which had been conceded to him in the past. On that occa- 
sion Fred shot well, and his victory, meeting as he did tbe cream of 
the talent in open competition, was well deserved and thoroughly . 
popular. Then came the individual contestof Aug. 20, 1896, and RoUa 
once more regained tbe title after a close and exciting match all 
through, from start to finish. And now comes Fred's phenomenal 
score of 142 out 150. an average of 94.6. This average is a re-narkable 
one even when made under the usual conditions of unknown angles; 
but on this occasion it was made on 50 targets, unknown angles; 50 
t.argets, expert' rule, one man up, the five traps down; and 35 pairs. 
A man who can make 941^^ per cent, at this mixed style of shooting is 
indeed worthy of the title of champion. In the blaze of Gilbert's 
glory we muse not lose sight, of the fact that Rolla made a great aver 
age, too. His percentage of 90.6 is a great big percentage. Last year 
he won with a lower average, and his two targets lost right at the end 
of the match of July ,31 last, his l48th and 150t,h (as per score, which 
appears elsewhere), look as if Bolla might have improved his average 
had the match been closer. It was the battle of the giants, and there 
is yet the rubber game to be played. 
We are always glad to give advance notices of tournaments, and to 
make notes of the prominent points in the programmes for such 
shoots. To enable us to do this, however, we must have the pro- 
grammes mailea to us in plenty of time for the notes to get before the 
readers of Drivers and Twisters at least a few days prior to the shoot. 
The programme for the annual tournament of the Central Gun Club, 
of Duluth, Minn . July 2S-29, was one of those which arrived too late. 
This is always a good shoot, and the management this year seemed 
confident that the annual shoot of 1897 would be no disgrace to its 
predecessors. It vms "to be a strictly amateur shoot, with profes- 
sionals barred." Notes in tbe programme stated that: "Manufac- 
turer.'!' agents, who wish to show their guns or ammunition, will be 
welcome to shoot in all events for the price of the targets only," 
Another note, one that is very seldom seen in a programme, was the 
following: "If a shooter fails to cock his gun, or neglects to push up 
the safety, it shall be a 'no bird.' But no shooter shall refu.se a bird 
because of a difhcult height or angle, provided it be a fair bird." 
We scarcely agree with the "no bang, no bird" rule for tournaments; 
for club shoots, outside of badge or medal contests, we favor it, for 
there are lots of beginners who forget their safety and do a whole lot 
of unusual things. 
A couple of New Yorkers and a few Peekskill and Newburgh, N Y., 
shooters took a day off on Saturday last, July 31, and went up to 
visit Neaf Apgar at his new home. Pine Point Club Hotel, Orange 
Lake, near Newburgh. Neaf has a magautrap going whenever neces- 
sary, and Darby can pump her to beat the band. But Capt. Money 
foimd the background, all sky and water practically, just to his lik- 
ing ; out of the last 143 he shot at, he lost just three targets. His load 
was 3drs of E. C. No. 1, in both Smokeless and Leader shells. The 
Leader load was what is known to the boys as "Rolla Heikes's load." 
What with fishing, shooting and boat racing, and with such trifles 
as frog catching and snake hunting thrown in everv day, Neaf is now 
far more like the typical bonif ace than he was when he left New York 
He actually weighs in the neighborhood of loOlbs , and is red-faced at 
that. 
Arrangements of the tournament of the New Jersey State Sport.s- 
men's Association are being pushed along rapidly, there being no 
time to waste between new and the dates of the shoot, Sept. 2g-Oct. 
1. Jerseymen and others will find that it will be quite easy to get to 
the Clifton race track, Passaic, N, J , as the Erie Railroad will stop 
several convenient trains right at the entrance to the track. The 
programme will be an attractive one, both for natives and for 
strangers to the soil Those who want to compete for the valuable 
merchandise prizes in the State events, and who are not yet members 
of the Association, or members of a club that is a member of that 
body, had better send in their applications for membership right 
away to W. H. Huck. secretary of the Association. Rutherford, N. J. 
Club dues are only $1 per year, with a membership fee of $i. For 
individual members the membership fee and annual dues are $1 
each. 
We understand that we are betraying no secret when we state that 
M. Hernngton leaves for the Yukon in a very few days indeed. 
M. W-A Herrington has become such a standing dish at local tourna- 
ments and club shoots of late years, that future gatherings of the 
same kind will, for some time to come, seem unseasoned to tbe taste. 
This departure of Mr. Herrington for the gold fields will be news to 
most of our readers; it was a surprise to ourselves. He will carry 
with him many good wishes for his success in the new field he 
has chosen for his work; in all seriousness we wish him a merry 
Christmas and a very happy New "Sear. 
We met Irby Bennet on Monday morning last in V. L. & D's new 
store, three doors above Irby's usual restirg place, the Winchester 
Repeating Arms Company's store 3l2 Broadway. Irby was a little 
"distrait," (he chose that word himself) owing to the fact that he 
could not manage to arrange his business matters so as to get to 
Le«iston this week. He intends to get up to Montpelier, h"wever, 
and will make one of the "all water route" party from New York on 
the evening of Aug. 23. He gave us news of Tom Divine, telling us 
that Mr, Divine was inthedumps. We would suggest that Mr. Divine 
comes once more to the North, and joins the party to the land cf 
maple sugar. 
On Tuesday, Aug 17, the Brooklyn Gun Club will hold a shoot at its 
grounds. Liberty avenue and Enfield street, at the terminus of the 
Kings County Elevated road in Brooklyn. The main event will be a 
shoot for a gold watch, a handicap affair, $i.aO entrance, 30 targets 
per man, unknown angles, with an allowance of extra targets to shoot 
at. Shooting will commence promptly at 1 P. M., the handicap event 
being started at 2 sharp. No regular programme will be gotten out, 
but other events will be made up to suit the shooters present. 
Paul R Li'zke writes to us from Little Rock, Ark., as follows: "Mr, 
George Clements, of Pine Bluff, has challenged Mr. H. Connei", of 
Little Rock, to shoot a match tor the individual State target cham- 
pionship trophy now held by him, and has posted a forfeit of $10, as 
tbe condliions pre.scribe, with Mr E. A. Howell, treasurer of the 
Arkansas State Sportsmen's Association. The conditions of the con- 
test are 50 single targets, unknown angles, challenger to put up $10 
against the trophy ; winner to take trophy and money, loser to pay 
for targets." 
Energy and popularitv go a long way toward making a shoot 
a success. Look at the Emerald Gun Club's merchandise live-bird 
shoot at Dexter Park, L. I., on July 9. Conditions; 7 live birds, S4, 
including price of birds, class shooting, merchandise prizes; forty- 
six prizes and forty-nine eiitrie^!! And everybody seemed to enjoy 
the day's sport, particularly Dr. G. V. Hudson, one of the prime 
movers in the shoot, who shot at 24 birds during the day and never 
missed one of them Ferd Van Dyke also scored everything in sight, 
running 27 without a miss. 
J. S. S. Remsen, of Brooklyn, N. Y , is just now taking a rest and a 
fish on the shores of Lake Champlain. He writes to a friend in the 
city that he will be on hand at tbe coming contest for the Receation 
cup, A.ug. 11. on the grounds of the Bergen County Gun Club, of 
Haekensack, N, ,1. Remsen has two wins for the cup, and so has F. 
Sinnock, of Newark, N.J. As there are only three more shoots for 
the cup it becomes imperative for both these shooters to be on hand 
on each and every occasion. 
Daniel J Bradley, the hero of the Bradlej'-Murphy match at Car- 
teret in January, 1696, made a great record at ElKwood Park on Mon- 
day, Aug. 3. He scored 95 out of 100 in his match with Dr. Gagnon, 
running his last 47 straight, He then took part in two miss-and-outs, 
running another 20 straight, making the great total of 67 without a 
miss The birds were not a fast lot, but; the score is a great one under 
any conditions. Di-. Gagnon scored 84, but at one time he had a run of 
35 straight. 
The Sutton, Neb , Gun Club will hold a three days' shoot, Aug. 31- 
Sept. 2. There will be several fine hammerless guns offered for com- 
petition, in addition to several other valuable merchandise prizes, 
whUe the club wiU al^o add $150 in cash Co the purses. 
The committee who has in charge the getting out of the programme 
for the tournament of the New Jersey State Sportsmen's Associa- 
tion is working hard at it, and will have the programme ready for 
distribution by the first week of September. The dates are Sept. 38- 
Oct. 1, and the tournament will be held at the Clifton racetrack, Pas- 
saic. 
In the shoot of the Michigan Trap-Shooters' League, held July 27-28 
at Bay City, Mich . Jack Parker won the general average pri^e. P C. 
W^ood. who also hails from Detroit, was second. Tom Graham, 
Wm. Thompson and Joe Marks were third, fourth and fifth, respect- 
ively. 
Now that the rainy spell is over, we can look for more target shoot- 
ing around New York. The fact that two or three men are away 
after bay birds, doesn't make much difference around here; there's 
always enough on hand to make up a squad or two, and pretty hot 
squads at that, 
Aug. 3. Edward Banks, 
Messrs. Heikes and Gilbert. 
Davton, O., July 31.— Rolla O. Heikes, of this city, and Fred Gilbert, 
of apirit Lake, la., shot their match here to-day for tbe target cham- 
pionship of the United States and the cup emblematic of the cham- 
pionship. The cup was donated by the American E. C. Powder Com- 
pany in May, 1896, at the company's tournament at Guttenburg, N. 
.1., and was then won by Gilbert in open competition. He held the 
cup until Aug. 20 of the same year, when Heikes defeated him at 
Watson's Park, Chicago. On that occasion the scores were 48 to 47 on 
the unlinown angles, 45 to 44 expert rules, and 40 to .39 on the doubles, 
a total of 133 to ViO. 
To-day's match resulted in a win for Gilbert by tho wonderful score 
of 142 to 186. The totals were respectively: Gilbert, unknown angles, 
48; expert rules, 48; doubles, 46. Heikes, unlniown angles, 47; expert 
rules, 44: doubles, 45. 
Dr. L. C. Adams was selected judge by Mr. Heikes; Ralph Trimble 
judge by Mr. Gilbert; Frank Alkire, referee; Capt. Ashley Brown, 
official scorer. 
THE RACE rOB THE CHAMPIONSHLP. 
At least 400 spectators witnessed the match, and gi-ew enthusiastic 
in their applause as the exciting race progressed. On the unknown 
angles Gilbert obtained a strong lead, breaking 38 straight before 
making a skip. Heikes commenced with a loss of 3 out of his first 80, 
finishing strongly with 30 straight. This gave Gilbert a lead of one 
break only. Then came the 50 targets, expert rules. Gfibert lost his 
2d target, and then made the remarkable run of 44 straight before he 
lost another, finishing his 50 with a score of 48. Heikes dropped 5 
out of his first 25, but broke 24 out of the last series, going out with 44. 
Gilbert thus had a commanding lead of 5 breaks, with 25 pairs to be 
shot at. At this style of shooting both shot verv strongly. Oui of 
his first 11 pairs, Gilbert lost one target, his 6th'. the 2d bird in the 
pair from Nos. 2 and 4 traps. After breaking 21 out of 22, he lost 
both targets in his 12th pair (Nos. 2 and 4 traps). He ran 8 pairs 
straight next, going out with 46 out of 50. Heikes Irst only 5 targets 
out of his 50, making runs of 8. 7 and- 4 pairs clean. It wih be noticed 
that Heikes lost tbe 2d target in each of his last two pairs.

The Elliott-Glover Match. 
Last week we published Glnver's acceptance of Elliott's challengo 
for the Kansas City Star cup, and also Budd's acceptance of Elliott's 
challenge for the I )u Pont trophy. Curiously enough both men named 
tbe same date and the same hour— Aug 14, 2 P. M,— but the places 
chosen were widely different. Glover naturall.y enough named 
Rochester, N. Y., but Budd cho.se Eau Claire, Wis. Receiving the 
above acceptances shortly before going to press, it was impossible to 
find out what was going to be done about the clashing of dates. 
We learn now that Elliott will take up Glover's case on Aug. 14, 
and will be in Rochester in plenty of time to shoot the match. To 
fill out the day. Glover will have other events at Uve birds arranged 
to suit shooters who may be on hand to see the match. The Roches- 
ter Rod and Gun Club will hold a target tournament on the day prior 
>o the match. It has arranged a programme of eleven events, of 10, 
15. 20 and S5 targets, with entrance fees at the usual rate of 10 cents 
per target. There will be four moneys in every event, the purses 
being divided 35, 30, 20 and 10 per cent.
