A Rare Feat. 
Ms.. At)OLPH ToBPPBR'WBiN, <» joutig man who has practiced trick 
Bhooiing' wiro the iifle lor some year?-, performed a feat on Aug. '.2 at 
San Antonio that has not been pquaied anywhere in the civilized 
world. On a former occasion Mr. loBDperivf^iii broke 955 ciay disks 
Sl^in. in diameter out ot l.OCO sbots fired. The di^ks were tossed in 
the air by band to a heifjht varymg Irom 20 to 30ft.. at a diatanc» of 
10 or 15ffc. from the shooter, he usint? ttvo .a^fcal. Winchester riflas, 
old-fashioned black powder ammimitiofl. On Aug. 22, however, this 
young trick rifleman totally eclipsed his former achievement and 
broke 9^9 targets and the world's record, He shot two riflas alter- 
nately until the 230th sbot, when he accidentally broke the front sight 
off one, and finished the remamin-:: 800 with one rifle, thac at 
times became so hot as to almost preclude any possibility of bandlinK. 
Out of the first 500 targets he missed hut 11 He shot the fifth 100 
without a miss, and the lOAcst number of bits out of any 100 vpas 95. 
He made runs of 117, 107, 106 and 141. After the shooting was over, 
Mr. Toepppj-wein regaled the spectators with exhibition shooting at 
coins of various denominations, hittiag such small objects as nickels 
marbles, etc. 
Mr. L luis Henermanu, pr sident of the Texas Baseball League, 
officiated as official scorer, and his affidavit; certifying to the truth and 
correctness of same is before your correspondent. Sunamary:

C. W. Dudley won the cartridge case put up for comjiati'ion on 
Saturday last, Sept. 11, on the grounds of the Brooklyn, N. Y.. Gun 
Club, Dudley broke 24 out of 25 making his score a highest possible 
by breaking 1 out of his allowance of 2 extra targets to uhoot at. He 
tied with Carl von Lsngerke (3j, F. A. Thompson (4) and Banks (0), 
all of whom made highest possibles. On the shoot-off under similar 
conditions, he again broke 24 out of 26, winning easily. Dudley is 
shooting his single Francotte very strongly just now, and is likely to 
be a factor in the next race for the Recreation cup at Hackensack, N. 
J., early in October. 
In regard to the Jersey Handicap, the big live-bird event set for the 
l^st day (Oct, 1) of the Jersey Staie shoot, W, H. Huck, secretary of 
ijie State Sportsmen's Association, Rutherford, N. J , writes as fol- 
l6w8: "The Jerse.y Handicap, 25 live birds, $35, birds extra, not class 
shooting; handicaps 86 to 33yds. ; $500 guaranteed by the Associa'lon; 
nil swtplns added Entries for the Jersey Handicap, accompanied 
by a forfeit of $10 may be made to W. H. Huck, See'y, Rutherford , 
K. J., or will be received at cashier's office up to 6 P. M. Sept. 30. 
Sobody barred." 
The Dayton, la.. Gun Club will hold its second annual tournament 
Oat. 19-21. The first two days will be devoted to target.s, the last day 
to live birds. The announcement states: "Cannot divide with profes- 
sionals or manufacturers' agents," 
The Elliott-Grimm cast iron-badge embroglio is still somewhat of a 
mystery. Our Western correspondent, Mr. Hough, has unearthed a, 
copy of the conditions under which the said badge is held. Asrold in 
his Western trap notes in this issue, one of the conditions of chal- 
lenge for this badtre is that the forfeit must be put up in the hands of 
the American Meld. Of this fact Mr. Elliott was ignorant, so depos- 
ited his forfeit with Forest and Stream on July 8, in who?e bands it 
remained until Sept 11, when a cheek for the $bQ was mailed to him 
at hisrequest Is Ibis violation of the conditions, then, the reason 
why Mr. Grimm has kept silent? We hardly think so, for Mr. Grimm 
is too good a sportsman and too good a fellow, to seek to hold a 
tropb.ylike the cast iron badge by virtue of such an insigniflcant 
breach in the conditions governine challenges for the same. We be- 
lieve that he would, had he been free- handed, have notified Elliottof 
his mistake. Wbo then is back of this thing? Charlie Grimm must 
surely realize that this silence on his part has given rise to much tallr 
among trap shooters, and that the bulk of this talk has been by no 
means favorable to hioi. Another question that naturallv crops up is 
this: Was the American Fielrl itseli* ignorant of the condition requir- 
ing that the said forfeit money should have been deposited in its 
hands? Or was it silent for cause? 
L. H. Fogarty, of the Endeavor Gun Club, of Jersey City, N. ,1,, was 
one of the members of the club's team that journeyed to Freehold, 
N. J , to meet a teaco of the local gun club on Friday last, Sept. 10. 
The Freeholders treated the Endeavors most hospitably, and Mr. 
Foearty asks us to publish the following acknowledgment of such 
treatment: "As pne of the visitine teani members of the Endeavor 
Gun Club, of Jersey City, to Freehold on Sept. 10, I must thank the 
Freehold Gun Club for the magnificent entertainment extended to 
our team by that club from the arrival of the team in Freehold. The 
"buss" to the banquet table, the Shrewsbury salts, the oyster pie, 
and the etceteras ihey entertained us with can never be effaced from 
the record of congenial trap-shooting, Mr. Davis handled the affair 
wilh consumcnate skill, and though he may offer an excuse for not 
knowing that the time table of the Central Railroad of New .Jersey 
was changed the day previous, that excuse need not heolfered, as the 
beautiful ride from Freehold to Matteawan, some eleven or thirteen 
miles, in the eft'ulsence of the full September moon, more than paid 
for the few hours' delay in getting back to New York. The Freehold 
shooters probably used Mc. Davis's lame excuse for not keeping u«( 
there all night! The day was the hottest of the season, and they 
warmed us well by 17 birds, and, children, there was a hot time that 
night,'" 
Billy Wolstencroft seems to have a sort of first mortgas-e upon 
Austin cups On Labor Day, 1896, he shot for a cup on the Endeavor 
Gun Club'a grounds, donated by .John L. Winston's firm of euiplos'ers, 
the Austin Powder Company. He didn't win it that time, but he took 
it away from Dutchy Smith, the winner, a few weeks later, and held 
it until, accordioe to the condi'ions attached to challenges for the 
cup, it became his proiserty. On Libnr Day, Sept. 0, 18i7, he again 
came to Marion after another Austin cup, which was advertised to be 
shot for under similar conditions, viz.: Expert rules, lOJ targets per 
man He broke 90 out of his 100 and walked away with the trophy. 
Noel Money and 14" scored 87 each; Ferd Van Dyke 85. Good shoot- 
ing all around, but Billy'.s.'kill with his new Greener and Schultze pow- 
der is atpresent almost unapproachable. He's bad medicine ju:«tnow, 
that's a fact. Billy says that the new gun is the twin brother of the 
one he handled so effectively about ten years ago; and adds that he 
feels just like a twin brother to the Billy Wolstencroft oE that era. 
He shoots like one, anyhow. 
The programme for the Schmelzer tournament at Kansas City, Mo., 
Sept. l-'-ie, arriv( d too late for us to make any comment upon its con- 
tents prior to the commencement of the shoot The cover states that, 
the shoot will be "A grand reunion of amateur trap shooters; SI ,200 
in merchandise prizes: twenty seven events: 812 pays your entrance 
fee for the three diiys' contest." Professionals aud manufacturers' 
agents are barred from competing for the prizes, but can shoot along 
for the pric of the targets. The price of the targets is not specified, 
but jurlging from the entrance fees, it looks lilje cents for tara;ets; 
probably, however, this rate would be reduced to one who could not 
compete for prizes Shooters will be divided into three classes. A, B 
and 0. Class A men will shoot from the 18yds. mark at unknown traps 
and angles; Class B at known traps, but unknown angles, from the 
]6yd3. mark; Class C men will shoot at everything known from the 
I4yds. mark. It will be really interest. ng to see how this plunder 
shoot, pure and .simple, turns out. There are five prizes in eachevent, 
one for each class of ties. Ties for first prize shoot off at the original 
number of targets; all other ties are decided miss and-out. 
There will b» an all day shoot at Wellington, Mass., on the grounds 
of 'he Boston Shooting Association, for the benefit of the Massachu- 
setts State Shooting Association. The chief feature on the pro- 
gramme is the 100 target handicap for the "Oharlestown pig " handi- 
caps ICO to 125 targets, entrance $3 Optional sweep of t>l on each 25 
targets; known iraps and angles, Thi^ '"pig" requires some explan 
ation, and we feel that we are qualified to oiler same, having 
an interest in that article (which, by the wav, is of brass"), to 
the extrut of one quarter of a dollar. The pig is hollow, 
and is built somen iiat on the plan of a nickel-in -the slot 
machine: that is to say. it has a slot, but is built for q arters 
only. When we saw it last it was in the hands of Capt/. E B, 
Wadsworth (Puck) in a car on 'he suburban line, from Montpelier to 
Barre, Vt. At a rough guess, the "pig" will hold probably S3 i or $iO 
—maybe more— and, as we understand it, it is now filled with quar- 
ters (for nothing less and nothing more passed through the slot), and 
is ready to be disposed of as per programme issued for the shoot. 
On Monday of this week, Sept. 18, we had the pleasure of meeting 
Barney Worthen, of Charleston, S C, Barney dropped into Von 
Lengerke & Detmold's store about 11 o'clock on the above date, and 
that's how we came to run across him. There are few, if any, belter 
shots than Barney when it i« day and when targets are being thrown. 
And judging from what we learned, it is his day pretty often just 
now. On Aug. 29 last he broke 122 out of 125, and in a strong cross 
wind at that; but Barnev is quite capable of such a feat; witness his 
shooting at Savannah, Ga,, on both days of the Interstate .Associa- 
tion's tournament last May. He expects to leave for home on 
Wednesday of this week. 
In our report of the trip of the New York contingent to the Mont- 
pelier, Vc, Interstate tournament, Aug. 25-26, we made an error in 
stating that the members of that contingent were the guests of Sir. 
W L. Stone durins their stay in Burlington, Vt., on the night of the 
24th. We made that statement on the strength of the information 
given us when we went to settle accounts at the Hotel Burhngtcn 
office on the morning of Aug. 25: "All bills have been paid by Mr. 
Stone." Mr. Stone, since reading our report of the shoot, has 
hastened to write us to the effect that he settled the bills, not as an 
individual, but on behalf of the Lakeside Kod and Gun Club, of Bur- 
lington, which organization constituted itself the host of the visitors 
on this occasion. We take this, our first tpporttmity, toacknowledge 
the courtesy of the club in this matter. 
The Ar7ns and Explosives Magasine of Aug. 3, a publication issued in 
Great Britain- contains a copy of 'the British Government's explosives 
report for 18SI3, Some interesting information is given in the article 
in regard to a series of samples of American smokeless powder, sup- 
plied bv Mr. K W. S. Griffith for the informition of the department: 
"Four of these powders, viz . American £. C. Hazard, Du Pont and 
Kings, closely resemble well-known English powderfi, consisting- in 
greater part of nitrocellulose, mainly of the soluble variety, with the 
addition of some nitrate of barium andi potassium." The report also 
contains details of the results of tests made with these powders. 
We are going to have some trap shooting in this locaUty before the 
hunting season sets in in earnest. The New Jersey State shoot. Sept 
28-Oct.'l; the Warwick, N. Y., Gun Club's shoot, Oct, 4-5; the New- 
burgh annual fall tournament, Oct. 6-3, and the Baltimore Shooting 
Association's four days' shoot, Oct 19-23, make up a list that is not to 
be despised in these dull times The Baltimore shoot, two days tar- 
gets, $150 added each day, and two days live birds, $<00 added, a, total 
of $500 added money, with $500 guaranteed in the Maryland Handi- 
cap, 25 birds, $25, handicaps 2ti to 3 jyds., should draw the boys together 
from many points a few liundreds of miles apart. 
The Interstate Association closes its season for 1897 this week, with 
the tournament at Portsmouth, N. H , Sept. 15-16. On Saturday last, 
Sept. 11, we had a short talk with Manager Shaner, and he told us 
that this season had been the most successful in the history of the 
Association- The Grand American Handicap opened the ball in 
March with 135 starters out of 146 entries. Then came the seven tar- 
get tournaments at Baltimore, Md ; Richmond, Va.; Savannah, Ga.; 
Mobile, Ala.; New Haven, Conn.; Lewiston, Me., and Montpelier, Vt., 
respectively. The curtain will be rung down at the conclusion of the 
eighth, on the evening of Sept 10, at Portsmouth, N. H. 
Our absence from the city for a couple of weeks, and the persis- 
tency with which correspondents will mail matter for publication 
personally, have caused delay in the publication of certain news mat- 
ter; while other items have reached this office too late to be of any 
use, owing to their having gone chasing us around ttie northern part 
of this State May we request our correspondents once more to mail 
all matter for publication to Forest and Stream Publishing Company, 
3i6 Broadway, New York It will reach our desk all right, and if we 
are absent will be attended to toy oiir understudy. 
Mr. C. W. Wisner, Vice President of the Warwick, N. Y., Gun Club, 
called on us on Monday of this week. Sept, 13. Mr. Wisner had with 
him a dummy of theprogramme which his club proposes to issue for 
its two days' shoot, Oct. 4-5. All that it would he fair to say at pres- 
ent is that it look.s very much as if there was goina: to be a good time 
for shooters at Warwick on the above dates. Among other things, 
there is the sum of S-50 to be divided as average money among the 
four or five high guns. All targets are to be charged for at the rate 
of S cents each Warwick is an exceedingly pretty place, and 
shooters from a distance could not spend Sunday, Oct. .3 (the Sunday 
following the New Jersey State shoot), more pleasantly than in wan- 
dering around Warwick and viewing its many points nf historiain- 
ferest Warwick is "bout one hour and fifty minutes' run from New 
York on the Erie R E., so that it is easy enough to get to. It is olsO 
a very simple matter to get from Warwick to Newburgh, N Y , 
where the shoot comroence=i on Oct. 6; twenty -eight miles on the 
Erie R R is all that intervenes between the two places The New 
.Jersey State shoot, the Warwick shoot and the West Newburgh Gun 
and Rifle Association's annual fall tournament thus make up a nice 
little circuit for the fag end of a season. 
A Chicago sporting publication has been telling its readers tliat 
there is a strong probability of the Interstate Associition holding 
its Grand American Handicap for 1S98 in Chicago. Surely in tliis 
case the wi.<h is father to the thought, for we are assured on the bi^st 
authority that the Grand American Handicap for 1898 will be held 
in th'» vicinity of New York, and, as usual, the week following 
the annual Sportsmen's Association Exposition in Madison Squiirs 
Garden next March, The actual dates for the big eveni, and 
the place chosen f r holding the shoot, will be made public in a 
few days. 
The Rhode Island Trap Shooting Association, of Providence, R. I., 
and the Pawtuxet,R I,, Gun Club, have the right ideas for keeping 
up Interest in trap-shooting in the localities nauied. Team races be- 
tween clubs do more to keep the members alive than any number 
of prizes offered for monthly or weekly competitions. As a result 
of the contests that have taken p!ace this season between the two 
organiza ions named above, .several emhiyo craokerjaclis have been 
discovered, some of whom will undoubtedly we heard from at future 
tournaments. 
W. L Gardner, of Norwallr, O,, is one of those good shots from the 
Buckeye State who occasionally drop around this way and find time 
to break a few targets in their spare hours. Mr. Ciardner has been 
doing .some good shootinsr recently, and is booked to shoot a 50-target 
race with Carl von Lengerke on Saturday afternoon next. Sept, 18, at; 
the EndeavorGun Club's grounds, Marion, N. .1. A good pro?ramme 
of events to suit everybody's fancy will be arranged, a full after- 
noon's sport being aimed at by the management of the Endeavor Gun 
Club. 
Hon Tom. A. Marshall, Mayor of Keitbsburg, III , and winner of 
the Grand American Handicap last March, dropped into the city on 
Monday of this week, and shook hands all round. When we asked 
him if was coming again next March, he replied: '"S^ire And there'll 
be others, tco I suppose it's about settled where it's going to be, 
j.sn't it? ] was in hopes that we might have it out in Chicago nest 
year, but if it's not to be so, I'll be on hand in time to answer to my 
name when I'm called to the score." 
The Hunter Arms Company, of Furon, N. Y.. has sent us one of its 
catalogues (second edition) for 1897 It is very n=atly gotten up and 
has plenty in it to interest men fond of the gun. Pages 18 aud 19 are 
devoted entirely to nilro powders, rules being given for loading the 
same These rules are ba^sed on practical tests made in the firm's 
own gallery, and will be found both interesting and use'ul to those 
who like to load their own shells. 
The solidity of the firm of Laflin & Rand cannot be doubted when 
it becomes eenerally kno« n that it has recejitly allowed '"Old Reli- 
able" Ed Taylor to start upon his twenty-second consecutive year in 
its employ! Any firm that can stand twenty one years of uninter- 
rupted intercourse with Ed Taylor, and all the humps and abrasions 
incident thereto, must indeed be founded upon something like bed 
rock. The twenty- second year commenced on Aug. 10 last. 
We are in receipt of an invitation to attend a ' melon feast of the 
Glenwood Gun Club, of Newburgh. N. Y-. Sept. 16." The Glenwood 
Gun Club is a young organization, but numbers quite a largo body of 
active shooters among its members. It has a splendid background, 
throwing targets from a magaulrap right against the sky, Troll-»yR 
direct from the city run past the entrance to the grounds, within two 
minutes' walk of the club house. 
Now that blackbirds can he secured ea.sily, why wouldn't it be a 
good thine- for Messrs. Daly & CJhaufrau to" get up a programme of 
events such as 7-, 10- and 15- bird races, with moderate entrance fees, 
just to lei. all the boys haveachsnce to try their hands at small game? 
vVe believe that such a programme would produce a good attendance, 
and make no charge for the suggestion. 
Local papers are talking about a series of three matches that are to 
be s ot in the near future with Grimm and Elliott as principals. All 
such talk is nonsense; Grim m and Ellintc are not matched to shoot 
any races at all Both Elliott and Mr. Rice have drawn down their 
lorfeits, the net results of their respective efforts being nil. 
The signature of some official of the gun club, generally the secre- 
tary, is always considered suffiKient guarantee for the correctness of 
the scores sent in. In looking over some scores received a few days 
ago, we encountered the following foot note ("not for publication, 
but merely a statement of facts"): "These are true copies of original 
score sheets. We never 'doctor' our scores." 
Messrs, W. D Hardin, F. 8. CrabiU and C B Eandlett, of Council 
Bluffs, la., will hold a tournament Oct. 26, 27 and 28. There will be 
added money to the extent of ®300 for the boya to fight for; but wbat 
"iDoys," we can't say, as programmes are not out just yet. 
According to a newspaper item mailed us from out West, Grimm 
and (Jilbert have mer. at Algona. la,, during the last week of August, 
in a race at 100 live birds per man, §1C0 a side, Gilbert won by 94 to 
93. 
Here's anew spelling of the word "magautrap," and' It's a terror! 
In its report of the State championship team shoot at OU veland, O.. 
held the latter part of August, the Cleveland Recorder informs us 
that "merger traps'' were used. 
Fred Gilbert is after new honors. Be has challenged Elliott for the 
Kansas City Star cup, and the match will come off on Friday, Sept. 
i.4, 2 P M., in Kansas City. 
On Wednesday of this week, Sept. 15, the Bristol. Conn., Gun Club 
"will give an all-day shoot, and one of its famous barbecue dinners."' 
The regular monthly shoot of the Climax Gun Club will be held at 
the Crestent Oval on Sept. 22, Wednesday of next week,

some very fair shooting was done, as the seores show for themselves:
