FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Nov. 13, 1897. 
Colin Wise, of Passaic, N. J., the recently elected captain of the 
Boilins Spring:s Gun Club, of Rutherford, >T. J., is also a member of 
the Orean Park Association, a club with a capital club house and 
hunting grounds located a few miles north of Newfoundland, Passaic 
county. N. ,T We had the plea'sure of taking a few days hunt with 
Mr. Wise lest seasoD. and always glanced with awe, tinged with a lit- 
tle skepticism, at a pile of huee rocks known as the "Wildcat's Den." 
Noel Money was so taken with the idea of hunting a wildcat, that he 
went up after a snowstorm last winter and took a couple of his Welsh 
hounds along with him. He did nothing much beyond getting up to 
bis neck once or twice in snow-drifts. (Yon can imagine from this 
that the drifts were pretty deep!) After that experience, 
Orean Park's wildcats were always dismissed with a smile. But 
Colin Wise has dispelled that myth; he has dispersed the mist 
of iccredulity that obscured the mental vision of more than 
one person that we wot of. fie lias killed a bobcat, and 
killed it with a charge of bird shot from his old Parker (watch 
Du Bray smile); and he has the oat to prove his story. It 
all happened about three weeks ago. He was up at Orean Park and 
was out hunting ruifed grouse with the club's janitor-keeper, Mr. 
Post. Mr. Post went one way and Wise went the other. Instead of 
walking through the brush, he wisely (no pun) kept to a "woods 
road." Soon Post .lumped some birds and fl'^ed two or three shots in 
rapid succession. Wise stood still, hoping that the birds might come 
his way; instead, there crept along through the underbrush an ani- 
mal that he at first took for one of tbe Belgian hares that the Associa- 
tion has turned out in the past. It; was not a. h ire, but wa'i a wildcat 
that came within 2Pyd? of where he stood, and that met its death 
from an overdose of No. 7Lg chilled shot, as aforesaid. His elevation 
to the captaincy of the Boiling Springs Gun Club is distinctly trace- 
able to the above feat. A man who can. witb the discharge of a 
single barrel of a 12 gauge gun. c'ear both hi.=i reputation for veracity 
and kill a wildcat with Ijig'^z of Ti^ chilled, is surely Kitted to captain 
an aggregation of mere irap-shooters ! 
Cecil Kennard. Capt. Money's son-in-law, otherwise known to San 
Antorio friends as Engliph Kennard, to distinguish him from Texas 
Kennard. is once again in this country. He is probably by this time 
en route for the Indian Territory, where he is interested in some oil 
property. Mr. Kennara does not go unaccompanied; as a companion 
he takes with bim a 1ft. high monkey of engaging habits, that is more 
than proud of a yellow sweater that it wears while in the treacherous 
climate of the northern portion of the States Thursday, TTov. 
4, we had the pleasure of pursuing the wily ruffed grouse of New 
Jersey, in company with Capt Money and Mr. Kennard. It was a 
lovely day, hut rather too warm for comfort when walking up and 
down the hills, tagging after the two above named. The leaves were 
also as dry as tinder and the grouse naturally almost unapproach- 
able. At lunch time we bad one grouse and one woodcock in the 
bag. Thoughtfully munching a sandwich. Kennard delivered him- 
self as follows: "As a means of exercise, New Jersey ruffed grouse 
huntinsr is superb, hut as a meansof shooting-, it's a rank failure; you 
can't loose oil yonr prxterero often enough " We have to thank Mr. 
Kennard for a novel word and thedeflniiion thereof. "Thepaterero," 
said he, on Veins' questioned, "was ihe chief weapon of tlie old buc- 
caneers. They had several kinds of guns, but the paterero was tbe 
one with which they did the business." Elmer Sh?ner. Old Hess and 
others, who are always on the hunt for new and lengthy words, are 
perfectly welcome lo the use of the foregoing. 
The dates for the Pennsylvania State shoot of 1898 are March 29- 
April 1. The selection of the nbove dates seem« to us to have been a 
wise move on the part of the Independent Gun Club, cf Reading, Pa., 
under whose auspices the shoot will be held, as they occur in the 
week following tbe decision of the Grand American Handicap at Elk- 
wood Park. This means that there wnll be a large contingent of 
shooters from the extreme West and East centered at the above popu- 
lar New Jersey live-bird grounds the weekpreviou=i to Pennsylvania's 
State shoot. It is, therefore, more than likely that many" of these 
shooters can easily be prevailed upon to stop over a few days, and 
ta ke in the Reading shoot. In our issue of Oct. 9, we made a note of 
an interview with John Shaaber, of Reading, in which he gave it as 
highly probable that the above dates for the State shoot would be 
chosen by his club. The In-lependent Gun Club's grounds are located 
some three miles from Reading, at the Three-Mile House, Shillington. 
They are, however, easily reached by rapid and frequent trolley cars 
that cover the distance in a very short time. We understand that the 
Independent Gun Club is going to get up something like an old- 
fashioned tournament, one that will suit the boys who want to shoot. 
A race is never out until it is finished. This is an excellent maxim 
for a trap-shooter to remember. A good example of the value of 
practicing what you preach may be gathered from the team race at 
Bunn's grounds. Singac, N. J,, on Wednesday last, Nov. 3. Capt. 
Money and A. Dotysbot a friendiv race on that date with Chris. 
Wright and Gfarry Hopper, both of l^'ater.son, N. J. Bunn always has 
good birds, and on this occasion he surpassed himself in the quality 
of the piseon'^ be trapped in this match. The Money-Doty team 
started off badly, and were behind all the way; but Capt. Money never 
gave up the maich. He ' jollied" Docy along, and both of them kept 
right at it. Doty doing some excellent work. But it looked hopeless 
for them, as they were 2 behind at the end of the 22d round. Then 
came the break. Wright lost 2 out of his last 3, and Hopper lost his 
last bird, having to kill to tie. Thus the Money ^Doty end won by a 
single bird after all. 
The Brooklyn Gun Club's management announces an all-day shoot 
for Thursday, Dec. 16. Mindful of the fact that the weather about 
that time is liable to be bad, itmakes the proviso that, in case the 16th. 
is unfavorable, the shoot shall take place on the 17th. At this early 
date. Manager John Wright cannot give us full details of his plans 
for this shoot; but he promises some "solid silver, no plate," mer- 
chandise prizes for comperitior in one or more events of 30 targets, 
with an entrance fee that will just cover the cost of the articles and 
the price of the targets. In sending out programmes later, each pro- 
gramme will be personally addressed, and will give the recipient's 
handicap in the main events. We like ibis innovation, and think that 
the trap-shooters around New York will think well of it. They don't 
approve of "going it blind," as the saying is. 
Several members of Long Inland gun clubs ventured down to the 
deer country on the island on Wednesday last, the first open day, 
taking their lives in their hands when they did so. We have, how- 
ever, learned of no fatal accidents to date, although there was a 
vast army of men prefent to deal death and destruction to the deer 
that were jumped, hmong those who lined the railroad, a favorite 
crossing near Centre Islip, there were 'wo men armed with .45 90s, 
the bullets from which have hardly stopped going yet. No big bags 
were made that we know of Mr. Van Sise, the lessor of the prop- 
erty on which tbe Brooklyn Gun Club has its grounds and club house 
made one of a party of sixty-nine ! The sixey-nlnereturned ■with j ast 
five deer for the party. 
We received the other day a copy of the game laws recently en- 
acted by the Legl.-ilature of the State of Tennessee. The copy was 
mailed us by Mr. S. B. Dow, the president of the Knoxville Gun 
Club, an organization that was very largely responsible for tbe pas- 
sage of tbe staid laws. The four important restrictions are: Open 
season on quail from Nov. 1 to March 1; non-exportation of quail, 
dead or alive, out of the State; Mongolian, English, ring-necked, or 
other pheasant not to be shotfor a period of five years; providing for 
the punishment of dynamiters of streams by imprisonment for not 
less than one year nor more than three years in the penitentiary. 
Tennessee has been robbed year after year of thousands of live 
quail for restocking purposes m other States; she intends, however, 
to put a stop to iXi now. We learn from Mr. Dow that quail are very 
plentiful indeed this season. 
At the recent annual meeting of the Boiling Springs Gun Club, of 
Riitherford, N. J., the following officers were elected for the season 
of 1897-8. President, E. A. Jeanneret; Vice President, O. H. Coe; 
Treasurer, Frank Krebs; Secretary, W. H. Huck; Captain, Colin R. 
Wise The executive commiitee, or rather tbe board of directors, is 
composed of all the above officers (with tbe exception o£ the captain) 
and Messrs P A Jeanneret, O. L. Marvin and Louis Lane. The 
club will donate for competition during the ensuing six months a 
gold watch that wilt be well worth winning. The watch will be com- 
jieted for on the first and third Saturdays of ever.y month, the great- 
est number of wins out of the twelve shoots to take the watch. 
It is with the greatest pleasure that we announce the challenge 
Issued by Rolla Heikes to Charlie Grimm for the Cast-iron naeda). 
The match ought to be a grand contest. We have always held that 
Rolla is almost as near the top in live-bird shooting as ho Is in target 
Bhooting The result of this match will, \ve think, provs that our 
contention is pretty nearly correct One thing about tbe challenge 
that we are particularly glad to note is, the compliance by Heikes 
with every condition of the rules governing challenges for this here- 
tofore family badge. Tbe forfeit has gone into the proper hands, and 
neither com husking nor bass fishing will be valid excuses this time. 
But perhaps "fall plowing is now in order?" 
Dr. O. J. Fay, secretary of the Carleton, Mich , Rifle Association 
and Gun Club, writes us, under date cf Oct. 31, that the first annual 
tournament of his dub will be held Nov. 17-18. The first day wil! be 
devoted to targets; the second day to live-bird shooting. Ben O. 
Bush, of Kalamazoo, Mich., (who doesn't know Ben Bu3h?j has been 
secured as manager by the club for this, its initial tournament. On 
both days the prizes will consist of cash and merchandise. For full 
particulars regarding this shoot, we would advise those interested to 
address the secretary, Dr. O J, Pay, who, we feel sure, will be glad 
to answer any and all questions connected therewith, 
Mr. T. W. Stake, of Sohoverling, Daly & Gales, distinguished hlm- 
gblf on S^iurffBy Itilst, NtfV, 0, by ^nnticg tire ttrst Jtiteftt for the 
November cup put up by the Crescent Athletic Club, of Brooklyn, 
N, Y,, for competition on every Saturday in November. Mr. Stake 
only received 1 more target to shoot at than the scratch men. so that 
his victory was evidently well deserved. The strong west wind that 
swept across the Upper Bay made the shooting of bluorocks at Bay 
Ridge exceedingly hard. There were thirteen entries for the cup, 
among the number Mr Wflmot Townsend, well known to readers 
of the columns of Forest a^X) Stream from his sketches Of ducks 
on Ihe wing and in the water. 
The review of the Interstate As.'jociation's work during the season 
of 1897, published in our issue of Nov. 6, compared most favorably 
with that Association's work in previous s iak~ous. The annual rneet- 
ing of the Association will be held early next month, and clubs that 
are desirous of securing lis services ro aid them in giving tourna- 
ments, should lose no time in making application for dates to the 
manager, Elmer E. Shaner, 122 Diamond Market, Pittsburg. Pa. So 
far as we are aware of, there is not libelv to bfi any dpcided change 
in next year's programme. The lines laid down in the past will in all 
probabilitv be followed quite closely in 1898. 
.lohn J, Hallowell, otherwise U M. 0.. .Tr., had quii^e an experience 
in Rochester, N Y., on the morning of O^t 26. He was walking from 
a street car to the shooting grounds of the Rochester Rod and Gim 
Club at Cobb's Hill H« was directed to "eo over the hill " He did 
so, and got lost in the thick fng that pi-evailed, finallv walfeinc over 
the edge of a sand pit. Not having a parachute or a fifing machine. 
v. M 0., Jr , descended rather too rapidly for comfort. A heap of 
loose sand luckilv broke hi« fall, and herf-ach^ d the shooting grounds 
"slightlv disfigured, but still in the ring." The sb^ck, both mental 
and physical, is plainly traced in the scores he made on both days of 
the tournament. 
In a short time the Money family will be able to put a dangei-ous 
three-men team in the field Captain Money and his two .sons, Noel 
and Harold, would constitute that tfara Noel will not be in this 
country for a couple of months or so; but Harold Money is now on 
his way here to take a position in the laboratory at Oakland, N. J. 
When all three get together, ir will be as well for most families to re- 
frain from any and all kinds of bluffs in the shooting line, 
Chicago's shooting cariiival next month is something that causes 
MS a little pang rf sorrow that such things do not come our way just 
now The intf reity team race, the two matches between Elliott and 
Gilbert for the Du Pont tr phy and tbe Star cup, and the match be- 
tween Heikes and Grimm for the Ca^t-Iron badge make a sched- 
ule of events that is decidedly altractive. 
Among the Brooklynitf s who went deer hunting on Long Islsnd on 
Nov 3 were Thomas McGlynn and G. B Paterson ; they were joined 
by Messrs. G. S. Raynor ard Will Brown, of Biverhead, L. 1. The 
party bunted in tbe Lake Ronkonkom-i region and brought back a 
fine buck, besides a large bag of quail, ruffed grouse and some rab- 
bits. 
Justus von Lengerke returned from his old stamping grounds in 
Sullivan coun+y, N Y., on Monday morning lasr, Nov. 8, with as fine 
a string of rufTed grouse as ever came into the city Justus accounted 
for eight grouse one r'ay and five the next. His partner helped to 
swell the bag also. ThecottontPils in the bunch made the total string 
of twenty-six head look very impressive. 
Chris Gottlieb, of Karsas City, Mo , can break targets as well as he 
can kill live birds. At the last shoot of the Metropolitan Gun Club of 
that city, held Oct 30. he won the Cla-s A trophy in the badge shoot 
with '?3 straight. Ed Hickman, with 23, was thenpxtto him out of 
fotirteen entries: no one else could score more than 
If anybody gave us his address as 236 Blank street," we would say 
to ourselves: "Twice three are six; 2, 3 and 6; 236 Blank street. 
That's easily remembered " Tbe other day a frii-nd gave us his ad- 
dre.=s in Brooklyn, N. Y , as "147 street." Not much trouole to 
memorize that number, was it? 
The Sportsmen'^ Exposition in Madison Square Garden, Jan. 13-23, 
has "caught on" with the exhibitors most satisfactorily. It is now 
certain that the Exposition of 1838 is going to be far ahead of its 
predecessors in many respects. 
Nov. 9. Edward Banks. 
On Championships, Historical or Otherwise. 
New York, Nov. 3 — Althrugh more particularly engaged in matters 
pertaining to dog and gun, I take a groat deal of interest; in trap- 
shooting, some of it being speculative, some practical. Nevertheless, 
in venturing on so bold an affair as writing on trap shooting, i admit 
the ineligibility of any one to write anything savoring of common 
sense, or anything else, who cannot at least shoot a 90 per cent. gait. 
True wisdom and spirit are found only in men who have a deftness 
of trigger-finger and eye; for when the intellect is high enough to en- 
able any one to shoot straight, the nothing beyond is attained Still, 
it would be more satisfactory if, on the matter of skill,. methods, etc., 
there were greater unanimity between experts and novices, or pro- 
fessionals and amateurs. The spirit of true progress may yet so 
change the standards of skill and excellence, that the performance of 
the worst amateurs will be received with the greatest honors, anl the 
true system will be that wherein each coniestant who shoots tiie worst 
will reap the most profit. 
But what I speculatively purposed writing about is tbe matter of 
championships The sporr of trap shooting is generously favored 
with them. He is common clay indeed if, with some skill and persist- 
ence, be cannot become some kind or degree of champion. 
Nearly all the championship trophies of the trap world had more or 
less of an independent origin and free atmosphere concerning them, 
all apart from those interested as competitors f jr honors; iometblng 
at least distinct and apart from the men -vho were i;o be tbe actual 
competitors— all save one, the brightest fl 5wer in the chamnioaship 
wreath, the one called the "cast-iroQ mi dal." 
The whole honor or glory of a charnpion ^bij) emblem rests on pub- 
lic opinion and public aspirations. Tue wall settled rnles governing 
championship contests -rules resulting from common .sense, experi- 
ence, and the necessities of the case, rules sanctioned by the usage 
of centuries— imperatively require that a trophy emanates from a 
properly authoritative source, one which gives prestige and a guar- 
antee of open-handed fairness to all alike, ona which is difstinct and 
independent from the compatitors obtain. The competitors of the 
past age?* were as distinctly apart from the source of the trophy as 
are the parties to an action at lawauart from judge and jury. That, 
however, is all an old grandmother's notion. Modern progress has 
shown that a few men can make their own trophy ous of any old 
thing, launch it in the name of " s'e, the people,'' and then shoot for 
it themselves— meaning the Cast-iron medal. 
History nowhere recounts that any one or two men made their 
own laurel wreaths, then contested for them, and wore them later as 
a public sign of merit and honor— but history is never up co date If 
there had been caat-iron medals at the Olympic gaoiss there had 
been nobler Greeks, perhaps, and to a certairity a better understand- 
ing of how to keep trophies in the family. 
The perpetual strivings oC man to excel or vanquish his fellows 
makes history and gives to it its value and its fire. His conre«tsin 
time of peace were such as fitted him for war or for the struggle for 
existence in peaceful pursuits. A sound mind in a sound body was 
an essential requisite for war or peace, and a sound body was auebf 
strenjth, endurance, activity and suppleness, with senses developed 
to their highes' degree of acuteness. Nor was he content to excel in 
his own person; he must needs contest for the superiority of his 
horses, his dogs, boats, fowls, or. if need be, in matters of State with 
his armies. 
The great contests of the ancients in time of peace wwe lia.tIolial 
events. The public was informed of them months in advance, and 
all comers were welcomed. It was not in vogue then to hold a meet- 
ing in an hour or two, or a day or tsvo, after it was called, tring forth 
a fantastic cast-iron creature and tlien have its creators shoot for it 
before the public at large'^ven knew of its bringing for h. A cham- 
pion in those days was one who met the very best men who could 
meet him, and he owned the tisle just so long as he could hold it He 
did not become a champion in perpetuity by winning a trophy three 
times. The trophy had a championship significance, bub such sig- 
niticance was only with him who could take it and hold it. How ex- 
tremely old-fashioned were our grandfathers! They bad no idea of 
silence" out of season, of a silence when some one wa.s nearby looking 
for trouble, or a fishing for bass when there was a chance to win or 
lose honors, or a-husking of corn In silence when iberewasaman 
on their trail who was anxious to tr.y conciu'^ions Hat? some one of 
the old (3-reeks injected the art of htisbing corn or bass fl^hlng Into 
tbe Olympic games, in so far that one competitor was to wait till the 
other broke silence and finished his husking there is no iioubt but 
what that nation would have become much better farmers, though 
poorer gladiators And yet, being of srern sterling siuff, they then 
would have claitned to be only farmers, not .gladiators or athletes or 
whatnot. They would not pretend to more than ihey were. AlasI it 
is to be deplored that they had not di.^covered the Cast Iron bsdge. 
1 remember that some months ago, Mr Banks, trap editor of Forest 
AND Steeam, suggested that the cast-iron badge be tacked to t^ e 
trophy of the Schmelzer Aims Co., to ihe end that it might have an 
adiled value and signiflcanne. To me, it seems that if the cast-iron 
bauble was tacked to any old thing it would gain thereby in value, 
and at tbe worst it could not lose Why? Because it has no cham- 
pionship significance whatever; because the competitors were the 
originators of it, made the rules governing it. and contested for it. 
There were only eight men in its bringing forth They represented 
na public sentiment, nor, so far as Iknovr, did they claim to do so. 
Tfiey wsfrH Bi8 foilo'wa! MeawB. Geo. KiWamauj J. li. Brewer, Ofaas 
Grimm, Ed. Bingham, R. S. Mott, C. W. Budd, J. A. R. Elliott and 
Dr- W. F. Carver. 
Immediately after the conclusion of tbe shoot in Chicago, Nov. 10, 
1894. and before the public had much time or opportunity to know 
that such a thing as a comic opera, trap-shooting, cast-iron freak 
bad been hastily created, "while you wait," Dr. Carver challenged 
Geo Kleinman, who forfeited owing to illness. There seemed to be 
no great public craving for the bauble, since no one, save those who, 
in meeting assembled, by joint force «f intellect, solemnly produced 
the Irrn plaything, made any effort to possess it till Dec. 23, 1896, 
when Grimm met and defeated Carver for it, and since then there 
has been no contest for it. although recently Elhott challenged 
Grimm tor it. Yet the latter, being one of its creators, seemed to 
know fully its 'rue worth and the courcesies appertaining to it, for he 
was so bus.y husking corn he bad no time or inclination to refrain 
from that exciting avocation i:o contest for its tame honors, and as to 
the. courtesies, which one would suppose went with it, the cast-iron 
thing seemed to have none. B. Watebs. 
The Rochester (N. Y.) Tournament. 
The rpport of the Rochester (N. Y.) Rod and Gun Club's tourna 
ment, hald Oct 26-37, did not reach us until too late for insertion in 
our issue of Nov. 6. Election Day (Tuesday, Nov 2) necessitated our 
going to press a dav earlier than usual, hence the delay in publishing 
this and other similar matter, 
Ojr correspondent in Rochester, Mr E. D. Hicks, m.akes thefollow- 
ing comment in his letter to us that accompanied the scores: "The 
attendance was much .smaller than we had expected, as the weather 
was jmi-. right for trap-sbooling. Fanning made the best average for 
the two day.a, while Glover and Byer tieii for second place. jVfter the 
programme had been finished on the second day, U, M. C , Jr , Had- 
'ev. Lane and Davis shot a 15-tareet race, low score to pay for the 
targets and refreshments. The race resulted thus: Lane 15, Had lev 
14, U. M. C, Jr.. 11, and Davis 10." 
It will be noted that Mr. Hicks says, "Fannivg made the best aver- 
a?e for the two days, while Glover and Byer tied for second place " 
Our scores as we figure them (they were sent to us by Mr. Hicks) 
show that Glover was first in the general averages. Fanning and Byer 
respectively second and third. Event No. 7 on the second day is miss- 
ing, but this was a team race on the programme, and was not shot. 
The names of chose takine part will be easily recogni>!ed. There 
was Col A.G.Courtney, of the Remington Arms Co. shooting in 
much improved form; U. M 0., .Ir., otherwise John J. Hallowell. the 
new representative of the U. M. C. Co ; J. S. Fanning, the popular 
CiliforniM who looks after tbe interests of the Gold Dust Powder Co. 
in the extreme East; Charles Wagner, of Syracuse, N. Y., athor- 
ouehly reliable shot and danjerous in any sort of company. The 
balance of the shooters present were nearly all, if not all, local 
men. 
Some capital shooting was done, notably in event No. 8 on the first 
day. In that event sqaad No 1 made the record of 98 out of 100; TJ. 
M C, J-., 20, Fanning 20, Meyer 20, Glover 19, Byer 19. The ten men 
entered in that event broke 167 out of 203 shot at; there were three 
20s, four 19^ and three 17s. No dropping for place into the 8 hole 
there. A glance a*- the scores will show that some long runs were 
made, although Bartlett's 151 straight, made on Sept. 26,1895, on these 
grounds, was not approached.

Closing the Season at Auburn, Me. 
AuBCBN, Me., Nov. 3.— Below is the score of the Auburn Gun Club's 
last snoot of the season. Ashley won the badge for this shoot; but it 
becomes the property of Barker, who has the highest per cent, of the 
year, and who has won the badge eleven times out of twenty-five. 
Conner has been up m the big woods after deer (and he got two), and 
thought his eye would be a little out on clay birds; but he got into 
gear and pushed us all hard for first place, tying Fletcher and beat- 
ing him out on the shoot-off. The boys all feel as though they had 
shot very well for their first year at the trap, and say they wfil make 
tbem go some nest year. Score:
