Royal Boblnson, Geo. Beck, E. H Tripp and A. B. Tolin were on hand 
to carry the Indianapolis banner; but the stocky man from the 
Golden Gate did not allow them to carry it very far. He shot in 
great form, and only got all of them, so it was hard to beat him.

The above list shows the ten best averages in Class A and the four 
best in Class B. There were other shooters who shot in more than 
two or three events, but there were not many of them. These aver- 
ages were taken in the three series of shoots entitled the W. A., 
"Fishermen's" and Hunters' handicaps, and were taken without 
counting the extra birds given in same. This little State has two 
live clubs, the above named and the Rbode Island Shooting Associa- 
tion, and a number of friendly contests have taken place between the 
two— the latter club having a trifle the better of it; but we are not 
discouraged yet. Nearly all the best shots in the State belong to 
both clubs, so when we have a team race we have to draw lots or 
something of the kind. There are several other clubs that we hope 
to see get into line next season and try to make it lively for the R. I. 
S. A., who now hold the State challenge pennant. Pawtuxet.

Tri-County Shoot at Detroit. 
Detroit, Mich., Dec. 16.— Northmore, of this city, captured the 
Peters Cartridge Co.'s diamond trophy for the marksmen of the three 
counties— Wayne, Oakland and Monroe— in the final shoot at the 
Rausch House yesterday. There were nineteen contestants, all from 
this county, though Schuyler Hodges, who came near capturing the 
trophy, was formerly from Pontiac. Hodges had never shot over the 
traps before, but he had a clean style and didn't need his handicap of 
10 to reach the full number of 50 rocks and tie the leaders m the first 
shoot. In the shoot-off he and Northmore again tied, and it took an- 
other trial to decide the ownership of the diamond charm .

allowances of extra targets to shoot at; all contestants to use Peters 
Cartridge Company's ammunition: ^ ■,

accurate cartridge for tfirget shooting at 200yds. range, the .25-20 86 
or the .25-20-7; ? 2. Will either of them shoot accurately at a greater 
distance than 200yds ? 3. Which has the flatter trajector.v ? Ans. 1. 
There is but little difl'erence between the two at that distance. The 
.25-20-77 is not a factory cartridge. 2. Under favorable conditions 
fair accuracy may be secured at longer ranges, but we do not advise 
their use beyond 200yd8. 3 There is but little difference between 
them, although the 77gr. should have the slightly flatter curve. 
M., Montclair, N. J.— Will a28in. barrel of a 13-gauge gun equal a 
30in barrel in penetration, pattern and range? Which is considered 
the better for upland shooting? Ans. The 30in. is preferred where 
the hardest shooting is to be encountered, as at the trap, duck shoot- 
ing, prairie shooting. At closer ranges, for shooting quail, ruffed 
grouse, etc , in open and cover where lightness and quickness are 
matters important enough to consider, the 28in. barrels have an ad- 
vantage and are preferred by many. Each barrel would require its 
own peculiar loading to spcure the best results Each in its special 
field has its pecubar advantages. It is impossible to answer the 
question definitely without knowing what powders you use. For an 
all-round gun. ducks, quail, grouse, snipe, etc., the 30in have the 
most general preference. 
R. S. G , Sandy Hill, N. Y.— My spaniel is about fifteen months old. 
I wish him to hunt partridges only. He is full of hunt at first, for an 
hour or so. Then he will come to heel and is not disposed to hunt 
any more. If I ask him in a gentle manner to go "hunt them" he 
crouches considerably and after a while lies down. 1 am at a loss 
i ust how to manage in order to improve the situation. I am quite 
sure that he has been possibly whipp d or kicked by the parties I 
obtained him from What do you say to my leading him with a dog 
chain for a lime? Have heard of such being done with a foxhound. 
Ans. The indications are that your dog hunts till he satisfies his 
own pleasure, then loafs. IE he was cowed so much that he feared 
to hunt, he would hunt an hour or so in the manner you describe. 
The better way would be to let him hunt anything he pleases, rabbits 
included, and leave him entirely free. Give him no commands what- 
ever If he is cowed, he ivill quickly overcome it. Then he can be 
broken from chasing, aLd his efforts confined to partridges. Under 
no circumstances should he be led for the purpose of correcting his 
fault. Leading prevents a dog from hunting, instead of aiding him 
to hunt.

Calendars for 1898. 
THE U. if. C. COMPANY. 
The calendar issued by tne U. M C. Company for 1898 is illustrated 
by a scene from the Revolutionary War that is calculated to make 
the blood flow a little more quickly than usual. The scene depicted 
shows "Molly Pitcher at Monmouth, .Tune 28, 1778." MoUr Pitcher is 
shown ramming home the ball into a cannon, while all around her is 
death, fire and smoke One of the crew that mans the gun has just 
been struck by a bullet from the British rifles, while Che others tend 
the cannon, shirt-sleeve" and ha less. It is a stirring scene. 
DU POST POWDER COMPANY. 
The E. I Du Pont de Nemours & Co. have issued a calendar for 
1898 that is a good standing advertisement of its smokeless powder 
for one year. The label oC the Du Pont Smokeless Po ^der is shown 
in autumn colorings. The English setters on this label are well 
drawn and plainly snow an eagerness to be off again, notwithstand- 
ing the fact ihat ihev have evidently already been at work, judging 
from the ruffed grouse that hang behind them on the fence Below, 
and apparenllv behind the calendar tablet, stand two Canada geese, 
true to life We understand that it took fifteen separate printings to 
produce this work, the blendings of the colors being exceptionally 
numerous. It is bold in coloring, while the contrasts are by no means 
glaring. The whole work has a pleasing appearance, 
WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS COMPANY. 
The W R. A. Company has called upon A. B. Frost for the, 
scenes used to illustrate the top and bottom of its calendar for 
1898 The central figures in the top picture are two hunters and a 
dead caribou. The snow on the ground tells the time of year. One 
of tfce hunters is on his knees beside the dead animal, and is 
nointing out to the other a bullet wound "in the right place." from, 
which blood is flowing. "The .30 did it," he says. The object fof. 
his remark is apparent from the fact that the man in front of him 
carries a W. R. A. Co.'s .30cal. rifle; away to the right is his own 
eun— a 45 Winchester— leaning against a tree. The picture under- 
neath the calendar tablet shows a gunner getting to work with a' 
reDeatin" shotgun on a flock of canvasbacks that are passing over 
bis decoys. Taken altogether, the Winchester calendar for 1898 wilt 
be a popular one with sportsmen.
