A Veteran's Score. 
Tbavbhsk City, Mich., May 30. — Here is what seems to me a 
phenomenal performance whea the shooter's age is considered; 
Living in an adjoining county is an old genfleman who has been a 
hunter, trapper and guide nearly all his life. The other day he came 
to town, strolled around awhile calliog on his friends and finally 
visited Pilbeam's shooting gallery, and did the remarkable shooting 
abotit which I am going to tell you. The range is a few incbes less 
than 40ft. The gun was a .8ical. ^V^inchester repeater with Lyman 
sights. He had never used Lyman Rights before. He shot at a %in. 
bullseye, off-hand, standing clear of everythine, without glasses, and 
out of 10 consecutive shots made tne remarkahle score of 92 oiit of a. 
possible 100. There were two clean buUseves and eight iu the first 
ring outside the bullseye counting 9 each. "This would be creditable 
shooting for any of us young fellows, but the remarkable thing is 
Mr. Whipple, the shooter, was born in March, 1800, and is therefore 
nearly two months over ninety-seven years old. Mr. W. went to 
California in 18s;8 and has spent nearly the whole of his life in the 
West. He has in his possession now a hatchet .which has accom- 
ganied him on four round trips over the Rocky Mountains. He has 
ad some thrilling experiences. 
I enclose a copy of the pattern of his shots as near as we could 
copy them. Perhaps this will draw out some other old shooter.s

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
The American Field takes us gently to task for wondering why it 
was silent when it should have known, if anyone did, that Elliott had 
not complied with the conditioi3s governing challenges for the cast- 
iron badge, when he deposited his forfeit in the hands of Forbst and 
Stream This is what it says in its last issue: "Why does the gentle- 
maa connect the Americari Field with the matter? We did not issue 
the challenge; we are not Mr. Grimm's hacker; we have no interest in 
the matter one way or the other, except to give the news to our pa- 
trons. Our business is not that of arranging shooting matches be- 
tween individuals; we are publishing a paper for the sportsmen of the 
country, and we And it keeps us pretty bu«y to give all the news of 
the day, without bothering with matters that do not particularly con- 
cern us, or stopping to And fault with what some of our cotempora- 
ries 00 or do not do. Our friend should not lose sightof the fact that 
Charlie Grimm— not the American Field— holA& the medal emblematic 
of the champion live-bird shot of America, and that he is quite able 
lo defend it without any assistance from us; and that in trying to 
blame us for the challenger's shortcomings he goes a lnng way out of 
his road." We still think that it would have been a good item of 
news for the shooting public, in fact, would have been an interesting 
part of "all the news of the day" to have informed the wondering 
public why Charlie Grimm was silent. We do not wonder at the dis- 
claimer; that is only a natural conset)uence of the unpleasant atmos- 
phere at present surrouadmg the cast-iron badge and the cast-iron 
championship. 
The programme for the West Newburgh Gun and Rifle Association, 
of Newburgh, N. Y., has come to hand. The tournament takes place 
next week, Oct. f-S; the fu'St two days are at t.irgets; the last day at 
live birds. The programme calls for 165 targets each day at an aver- 
age entrance fee of 10 cents per target; all events are' at unknown 
ngl^s. The division of monej-^s will be under the Rose system, three 
moneys, under twelve entries; four moneys, twelve entries or over. 
There are ten events each day, three 15 and Seven 20-target events." 
For the live-bird day there are three events scheduled: No. 1, 5 birds 
S5; No. a. 7 birds, $7; No. .S, 10 birds, $10. All purses at live birds 
will be divided under the old system. For the targot shooters the 
2lub will divide §50 into six moneys— $1-3, 81 1, $8, g7, S6 and S5, to go 
;o the stiooters mating the highest averages on targets on both days. 
Ehe programme says: "Ties divided unless otherwise agreed." We 
Jiink this is a mistake. Average money should al.vaj^S go to the 
ighguns, not class shooting; this does a^way with any chance of 
Iropping for place. Two sets of traps imder the control of Gil, the 
)oss trapper, will be in readiness on the morning of Oct. 6. As New- 
iurgh is so near VFarwiclc, N.Y., where there is a two day's shoot on 
Dct. 4--5, the boys should find no difiiculty iu putting in a good week 
it the traps. It is .just twenty-eight miles from Warwick to New- 
urgh over the Erie Railroad. 
R. E. B , of Greenville. Pa., -writes us, under date of Sept. 26, as fol- 
lows: "The Greenville Gun Club, a member of the Pennsylvania and 
Ohio Border Gun Club League, has arranged an extensive programme 
for the e«peeial purpo.se of entertaining the amateur shpotei-s; and 
by so doing hopes to merit the approval of all lovers of the trap d 
gun. It has been claimed by many shooters in lihis section that an 
amateur shoot could not be successfullv conducted, but from the 
many applications received for programmes and particulars of the 
tournament, the attendance promises to be the larerest of any shoot 
held in this section. The programme contains ten events. Besides 
the regular division of money, the two high guns in each event will 
receive handsome merchandise prizes, donated by the citizens of this 
city. The last event will be a Winchester gun handicap. The gun is 
an 1897 model. All professionals and paid experts are barred from 
the sweepstakes, but may shoot for birds and display goods. Come 
to Greenville with your shooting clothes on AVednesday, Oct. 6." 
The proeramme for the Warwick (N. Y.) tournament. Oct. 4-5, calls 
for 205 targets each day, with a total en trance fee of $15. .50 for all dav. 
Both known and unknown angles will be thrown in the ten events on 
each day's schedule. Following is a list of the events: Noa. 1, 4 and 
10 are at 20 targets, unknown angles, 81.50 entrance; Nos. 2. (i and 9 
15 targets, known angles. SI; Nos. 3, 5. 7 and 8, 25 targets, unknown 
angles. 83 entrance. Fiftv dollars will be given, divided as follows- 
.flij.SO, $1.3.50, S11.50 and $9..50 to the shooters making the best aver- 
aees on both davs on targets. Ties divided unless otherwise agreed. 
Moneys will be divided as follows: Entries of twelve and under, 50, 30 
and 20 per cent. Entries over twelve, 40, .30. 20 and 10 per cent. Tar- 
gets 2 cents each. Warwick, N. Y., is a, lovely plane, and there are 
many good reasons why a shooter can spend "Sunday there as roloas- 
antly as any place around here. As the shoot commences at 9 o'clock 
sharp Monday morning, it will be almost necessary for those who 
want to try for the average money to be on the spot early. 
Mr. D. Alfr-ed De Pas, of New Orleans, is now up North and is stop- 
ping near this city. Mr. De Pas has not done much trap shooting, 
hut he went along with the boys to see the team race between the 
Bergen County Gun Club and the Riverside Gun Club, of Red Bank. 
N. J., at Hackensack, on Friday last. Sent. 24. He was an interested 
spectator, but the snip<»v look of the Hackensack meadows caueht 
his eye more than the ilying targets. He thought about the prairies 
down in Louisiana where the snipe are now getting fat and are won- 
dering when "that man De Pas will come alone with his gun" and 
hustle them around. Althoueh there are plenty of quail in Louisiana, 
it is rather a strange fact to note that last season was about the first 
in which he did anything to Bob White. His hobby has been, and is, 
snipe and duck shooting. 
"Van Dyke has been doing some good shooting recently. At the 
Portsmouth. N. H, Interstate .«hoot, Sept. 15-16. he came prettv near 
to being high man. On the second day he started off with a 12 out 
of 15; then he ran three 15s and two 20s straierht, making altogether a 
run of just 101 straight. At the shoot a.t Hackensack. N. J., on Friday 
afternoon, Sept. 24. when the Riverside Gun Club, of Red Bank. N. 
J., sent a team of ten men to face the Bereen County Gun Club's 
team. Van was again well to the front. In the team race ha broke 
23 out of his first 25; he then ran the next 25 straight, adding another 
20 straight in a sweep immediatelv after the main event. His run 
was something like 60 straight, and on hard targets at that. 
On Saturday morning last. Sept. 25, we had the pleasure of ereeting 
Mr. H. Hawkins, of the K. C. & Schultze Powder Co.. Limited, who 
had arrived that morning from England on the steamer Paris. Mr. 
Hawkins, who comes from Eyeworth, Hampshire. England, will 
locate in Oakland at the factory. He expects to enjoy American life, 
especially as he says his first experiences on American soil were quite 
pleasant. First impressions go a long way. so it is perhaps jusfc as 
well that Mr. Hawkins did not land on Thursday afternoon last. 
The Sportsmen's Association hao changed the dates for its annual 
Exposition from March to Jan. 13-22. This brings it two months ahead 
of the Grand American Handicap, instead of one week, as in previous 
years. The disposition this year will make a specialty of bicycles, 
in addition to the usual grand displav of fine guns, sporting goods of 
all kinds, and trophies. This will add much to the popularity of a 
show that has already attracted more than a usual amount of ' popu- 
larity in a short time. 
Mr. .T. M. Browning, "one of the Browning brothers, of Oeden, Utah 
the inventors of the Winchester repeating shotgun, is iu the East on 
business. His last trip here was during the Sportsmen'-^ Exposition, 
last Mai-ch. and, if we remember aright, he took part in th'^ Grand 
American Handicap. Mr. Browning was a member of the Utah team 
that rolled up such a large total in the team race at Hve birds between 
that State and Montana early in the spring. He expects to make 
quite a stay in this city and its vicinity before leaving for Utah again. 
Tod Sloan, the wpll-known jockey, is anew member of the Emerald 
Gun Club, of New York, and from the way he handles his gun he bids 
fair to rival his heavier brother of the pigskin. Snapper Garrison, 
when it comes to shooting live birds. There was only one lO straight 
in the club race, but Tod Sloan was one of the 9s. Iti a 5.bird sweep, 
shot after the club race, he scored bis 5 birds in good style. 
Elsewhere we give a reply to "Mr. Grimm's letter, which appeared 
in the columns of our Western cotemporary of Sept. ?.5. A perusal 
of that reply will show that everything was just as we expected. It 
looka, however, as if Grimm had not done himself any good bv eroing 
into tvpe. So lone'as he kept silence, one could do nothing but guess. 
Now that he has spoken, there is no doubt as to his motive in keeping 
silence. 
The return match between the Bergen County Guu Club and the 
Riverside Gun Club, of Red Bank. N. J., will take place on Fridav 
week. Oct. 8, on the grounds at Red Bank. The Bergen County team 
will leave for Red Bank on the 10 o'clock train. Pennsylvania Rail- 
road, reaching Red Bank at 11:20. The R'versiie Gun Club in- 
tends to make this team race the occasion for an all-day shoot at 
targets. 
We resret to learn that E. A. Jackson, secretary of the Bergen 
County Gun Club, Hackensack. N. J., me*^ with a serious accident on 
Saturdav afternoon last. A shell in his gun burst at the base, we are 
told, and the result was an fxplosion that may cau«e the Iors of his 
rieht eye. We Have received no ofllcial report of the case to date, 
and sincerely hope that Mr. Jackson's injuries may not prove any- 
thing like as serious as they are reported to be. 
The New Haven. Corn., Gim Club has issued a neat littls programme 
for Thursday, Oct. 7; Sl5 is added by the club, $9 in a 20- target event, 
and $6 in a 15-target event. ■ Four moneys in all events, 40, 30, 20 and 
10 per cent. Shooting commences at 9-30 A M. The New Haven 
gatherings are always enjoyable, hence we rearret that this fixture 
clashes with the date chosen for the Newburgh, N. Y., tournament, 
On Thursday, Sept. S3. E. C. Burkhardt and F. G. Wheeler, both of 
Buffalo, N Y , shot a 100- target race on the Bison Gun Club's grounds, 
Burkhardt won easily with the excellent total of 9fi to 89; he ran 48 
straight before losine a target. The taveets were bluerocks and were 
thrown from the club's magautrap Both contestants used .3}^drs. 
Hazard's Blue Ribbon, with IJ^oz. No. 7>^ shot iu U. M. C. Nitro 
shells. 
H. G. Wheeler, of Marlboro, Mass.. was in this city on Tuesday 
last, Sept. 21, on his way East from Lakewood. N. Y. It will not be 
very long before he is making his wav South again, to spend the 
winter in Florida, lookine after the bicycle departments pf the hotels 
on the great East Coast System. Gil may show up this week at Pas- 
saic, N. J. 
In a race at 15 live liirds in AUentown, Pa., the other day, F O. won 
first money alone on 15 straight. James Timmous, of Morristown, N. 
J.. Gosner and Hohn tied for second money on 14 each. .T. D. Arihur 
and John Rehrig tied for third mooev with 13 each. Frank Class 
could do ao better than score 11 out of hia 15. There were eleven 
competitors. 
The W. J. Healey Hardware Co. writes us from Mitchell, S, D , 
under date Sept 15, as follows: "Owing to a misunderstanding as to 
the dates of the Sioux Pallt* tournament and the Soixth Dakota State 
Fair, we are obliged again to postpone our shooting tournament until 
Oct. 12-14. This date is final, and our programmes will be out in a 
few days, when we will be pleased to forward copy." 
Fred Gilbert has been bicvcling lately and met with an acident 
which put him on hisback. Fred's challenge for the .S'^or trophvhad 
already been made and the data fixed by Elliott; but at Gilbert's it- 
quest, Efiiott postponed the shoot until Oet. 8, when the pair will meet 
at Kansas City, Mo., at 2 P. M. 
What a relief it is to see two such truly great shots as Elliott and 
GUbert make a match in about ten lines of type! it anybody really 
wants to shoot, it doesn't take loner for him' to make a match : pro- 
vided, of course, that he doesn't mind traveling 200 or 300 miles tp 
shoot it. 
The Des Moines, la.. Gun Club's park will be the scene of an ama- 
teur shooting tournament, Oat. S'-^y; S300 will be added to the 
purses, and the tournament will be managed by Mr. W. R. Milner, 
who will gladly answer all questions regarding the tournament.

.JOHN wat.son's tournament. 
Ohicaqo, 111., Sept. 24.— John Watson's early fall tournament was 
planned by that veteran possibly with the intent of raising the public 
opinion regarding live birds as trapped usually at this season of the 
year. The shooters were not expected to attend in any great num- 
bers at this particularly unfortunate date, when so many are grow- 
ing tired of trap-shooting and turning to the fields for fun. None 
the less a very good turnout resulted, about a dozen and a half tak- 
ing turns at the traps. About 700 or more birds were shot daily, and 
perhaps 1,500 targets on the best day. The birds came up to the ex- 
pectation, as they generally do at the old park, and everything 
moved along nicfilv. as things have away of doing there. Amonsr 
the .shooters were E. H. Tripp, of Indianapolis; Frank Parmelee, of 
Omaha; Dr. Morris. Mr. Troop and R. B. Page, of Dixon. 111.; Chas. 
Grimm, of Clear Lake, la.; Geo. Klehm, of Arlington Heights, 111. ; 
Oapt. And V Meaders aud'Mr. Ellison.of Nashville. Tenn. ; Aug. Kolanc- 
zicke, of Mendota, 111,; Geo. Roll, of Blue Island; Geo. A. Mosher, of 
the Syracuse Arms Co , Syracuse. N. Y. ; S. A. Tucker of the Parker, 
gun; F. H Hollister, of Chicago; E. S. Rice, general ajrent for the Du 
Pont Powder, and many others from Chicago and vicinity. On the first 
dav an effort was made to occupy the target traps, but it is always 
difficult to hold attention to this sort of shooting at this particular 
place, where the specialty is live bu-ds. Bv noon of the second day 
practically all the shooters were about the live-bird score, watching 
or taking a hand in some stiff sweeps or interesting miss-and-outs. 
The live-bird rides were A. .S. A. revised, with some modification, 
throueh use of parts of the Illinois State rules, more especially as to 
boundary, which was the Illinois horseshoe. Moneys went 50, 30 and 
20 in three-moneys events, and on proportionate scale in larger en- 
tries, birds in. 25 cents a bird, except call birds and extras, which 
went at 20 cents. Straights were not the commonest things in the 
world, even in the short sweeps, and many hopes were dashed well 
on lo close of events where the shootei''felt stire of running out 
and gettiuff rich. On the second day attention was divided between 
Amberg, Von Lengerke, Dr. Shaw, Klehm, Grimm and Parmelee, 
each of whom raised hopes and let them down with cheerful incon- 
stancy. Good lunches were provided, as usual, at the club rooms on 
the grounds, and, all in all, the littlo tournament passed off very 
pleasantly, seemins: more like a friendly club shoot than a gory battle 
for supremacy. Following are the scores:

Calumet Heights. Garden City and Cicero, had teams or par^s of 
teams present. Eureka turned out 16 men, two teams and a part; 
Uartteld 14 men, two teams and a pirt: Calumet Heights 18, two 
teams and one man; Cicero 7, one team and a man; Garden City had 
oaly two men on hand, but one of them. Ruble, tied with 95 on top 
score of the day. In this score he was tied by Kuss, of Garfield, the 
sturdy shooter who has been keeping up so strong a eait throughout 
thi season. Much interest lay in the run between Ruble and Kuss, 
because thev were only one bird apart on the totals in the "majority 
ot contests," or best four scores out of seven, tor which a special 
priza is given.
