Olathe Gun Clab. 
The Olathe, Kan., Gun Club had a grand shoot and banquet 
bn New Year's Eve, Dec. 31, the club members turning out hi 
great force. Some 61 members shot scores of 25 target.i each, the 
shooters being divided into two teams, captained respectively by 
Frank Hodges and Will Walker. Frank Hodges' s team had 30 
men on it, and the total score was 1S3 out of 750 shot at; Walker's 
team, with 31 shooters, did not do so well, as it only totaled 179. 
The weather was very cold indeed, while the wind 'blew a gale, 
and as most of those who took part in the shoot had never shot 
at the traps before, the targets were quite successful in their ef- 
forts to escape. The scores were:

In speaking of the match the Olathe Mirror of Jan. 6 has this 
to say: "Owning to the gale that was blowing in irregular gusts, 
the scores made were very small, and the shooting was very 
uncomfortable. However, "at sundown 61 gentlemen had each 
wasted 25 fancy loaded shells in a vain attempt to make a score. 
Charlie Blackburn made the highest score, with 18 killed, but 
neither Frank Hodges nor Will Walker were at the trap, or this 
honor would have been disputed with him. Several very low 
.scores were made, Mayor Williams setting a bad example by 
making 25 straight misses. George Rankin, Frank Adams, - John 
J. Lyons, H. C. Livermore, George Foster and Willis Keefer all 
tried to get into the Mayor s set by missing all the way through, 
.and a lot of the other fellows made such low scores that it looked 
as though ihey were also trying to break ioto the Mayor's social 
circle." 
After darkness had set in, an adjournment was made to the 
Hotel Olathe, where a banquet was served, mu.sic and speeches 
aoding much to the evening's enjoyment, the company breaking 
up about 2 A. M. The speakers and the subjects they touched 
•upon were: Mayor Williams, "Olathe, Our Game Preserve"; Hon. 
frank R. Ogg, "The Open Season on Pot-hunters"; John C. Car- 
penter, "The Olathe Gun Club"; Charles Sprague, "The Sober 
Truth About those Wyoming Fish"; Prof. B. S. ^IcFarland, 
'"Teaching the Old Idea How to Shoot"; Dave Elliott, '•Such 
Shooting I Never Saw Before"; Clarence L. Randall, "The Right 
of Self-Defense against Quail"; Capt. William R. Walker, "Ho'V 
it Happened"; Capt. Frank Hodges, "An Explanation of the 
Score"; Frank P. Hollenbeck, "The Big Game of Monticello"; 
Art Bigelow, "Deer as well as Bluerocks Get Avvay"; A. C. 
Macoubrie, "Life Insurance for Rabbits"; Frank N. Hamilton, 
"How Game Laws may be Made Effective"; Dr. E. F. Greene, 
"The Dear that has Always Eluded Me"; George H. Foster, "Plot 
Shot or Chilled Shot"; Gen. H. L. Livermore, "The Brigade I 
Commanded at Creighton"; John J. Lyons, "Shootin' as is 
Shootin"; Hon. T. L. Hogue, "New Year's Resolutions"; George 
Black, "The Press— Don't Shoot"; E. C. Owen, "The Welsh

Fired"; Hon. T. N. Hancock, "How to Plit the Bull's-eye"; I. 
P, Hibner, "Fun in the Big Woods." 
Songs were rendered by Major T. B. Bruner, "The Belle of 
Mohawk Vale"; Ray Walker, "My Cnliest One"; - Claude 
Thomas, "Mistress McGlochlin's Party," and Charles Sprague, 
"A Hot Time in Old Town." The last song was a parody on the 
original song of that title, adapted for the occasion by Miss Amy 
Sprague, and was a very clever piece of work indeed, creating a 
great amount of merriment. 
Kling vs. Starkloff. 
St. Loms, Mo., Jan. 16. — The race between these two local 
cracks was closely contested, and was finally won by Klin^ by 
the narrow margin of one bird. At the end of the first string; of 
25, each had scored 22. It was in the next string that Kling 
virtually W'on the match, as he killed straight and got a lead oif two 
birds, which his opponent could not overcome. In the next 
string Kling increased his lead one more, so that, despite the 
Doctor's great finish, he was beaten by one bird. T^his evens up 
matters, as it will be remembered that the doctor defeated Mr. 
Kling in a 50-bird match earlier in the week. 1 ' 
The match to-day was 100 birds, $100 a side, loser to pay for the 
birds, 30yds. rise, A. S. A. rules. Mr. Ed Pendergast acted as 
referee. The contest, of course, took place at Du Font's Park. 
There was also some target shooting indulged in, and it was 
evidently Kling's day, as he led in this event also with 23 out of 25. 
It is quite probable that another match will take place shortly 
between the two principals in to-day's race.

American Handicap Open to All. 
Edilor Forest and Stream: , , , ., , . 
Owing to an error on the part of the dady press, the impression 
has gained ground among shooters that the Interstate Association 
will bar paid men and manufacturers' agents from participating in 
the Grand American Handicap. Such is not the case, The con- 
ditions of the Grand American Handicap will remain the same 
as in the past, the Interstate Association reserving the right, as 
usual, to bar anybody whom it may deem undesirable to admit 
to the privilege of taking part in this great event. 
The resolution passed by the Interstate Association at its meet- 
ing of Jan. 17, from which the above impression was gathered, 
referred only to the inanimate target tournaments of the Associa- 
tion during 1898. In all such tournaments "paid representatives, 
whether paid in shells, guns, money or otherwise, and all those 
connected in any way with companies manufacturing guns, shot, 
shells, powder, targets and traps will be barred from taking part 
in the sweepstakes and purses, but will be perfectly welcome to 
shoot for targets only and show their goods." 
In that resolution, too, the Grand American Handicap was spe- 
cially excepted from the operation of such resolution.

An Invitation to Western Shooters, 
New York, Jan. 21.— To all Western Shooters: I have been 
requested by the subscribers of the Interstate Association to 
extend to each and every one of you a most cordial invitation 
to be present at and to enter the Grand American Handicap, to 
be helcf at Elkwood Park, N. J., March 22-24, 1898, This association 
appreciates sincerely the support received from the West last 
year, and its mernbers look forward with keen interest to and 
anticipation of seeing many more from the West attending the 
Grand American Handicap in 1898.

Clouser versus Coldren. 
Reabing, Pa., Jan. 15. — The second of a series of three shooting 
matches at live birds between Harry Coldren, champion of Berks 
county, and Harvey Clouser, of Gibraltar, Pa., was shot off to-day 
at the Kurtz House shooting grounds. The series calls for three 
matches each at 50 birds per man, for $50 a side, each match; the 
first to be governed by Rhode Island rules, the second by Hnr- 
lingham rules, 28yds. rise, 50yds. boundary; the third and decid- 
ing match, American Association rules to govern. 
The birds were a selected lot of strong flyers. Clouser did not 
put in his appearance until 2:45 P. M., and as it was very cloudy 
and rainy, it made shooting very unpleasant. At 3:20, when Col- 
dren came up to start the shoot, having won the toss, there were 
fully 500 local and out-of-town sportsmen on hand to witness the 
shoot. Charles Bechtel, the well-known pigeon shot, refereed, and 
gave entire satisfaction. The "sleeper" shooters were very much 
in evidence, fully 150 being on hand, and lined up close to the 
boundary like a skirmish line, threatening damage at times to the 
spectators back of the marksmen. The place for the deciding 
match will be decided by a toss-up of a coin. Score made was as 
follows, each man only shooting at 46 birds, owing to the dark- 
ness, which put a stop to the match: „.„,„,^

Pottsville, Pa. 
Jan. 14.— The big sweepstake shoot at the Seven Stars Hotel re- 
sulted in Heffner and Pritchard tieing on 5 birds out of 6 shot at; 
Cavanaugh, Kohler, Whitmeyer and Ruppert divided second 
money with 4 killed, and Grady and Raymond divided third 
monev on 3 killed. There were 38 entries at $4 each. There had 
been purses of .$75, $35 and $20 guaranteed as the three prizes. 
In the team shoot between Mark Dolan's team and Charles 
Spencer's team, 25 targets per man, $50 a side, the result was: 
Spencer's team: Spencer 18, Cavanaugh 11; total 29. 
Dolan's team: Dolan 9, Ellis 13; total 22. 
Match Shoot at Norristown. 
Jan. 14.— William Costen and WiUiam Stritzinger, two well-known 
wing shots, shot a match at live birds to-day, to decide a long- 
.standing rivalry between the men. Each shot at 20 birds and 
killed 10, when darkness set in, causing the postponement until 
another day. Arthur A. Fink, 
Limited Gun Qofa*s Tournament. 
New Orleans, La., Jan. Vt.—Edito^r Forest and Stream: The 
managers of the Limited Gun Club, of Indianapolis, Ind., an- 
nounce that a tournament will be held in that city as a forerunner 
to John Sumpter's Hot Springs opening event of the season. As 
will be seen elsewhere, it is the intention to shoot sparrows on 
the first day and targets on the second. 
The prime object of this letter is to advise all who wi.sh to see 
a real sparrow shoot to go to Indianapolis, for in no other place 
have I seen such expeditious work as on those beautiful grounds, 
where men shoot in squads, albeit from unknown traps, and where 
each contestant can shoot at from SO to 100 birds a day. The spar- 
rows themselves seem to fully enter into the frolic and sport of 
the thing, for so brisk and frolicsome are they that it takes very 
good shooting to make high scores. Being always fresh and full 
of vim, they move off quite freely, with no coaxing, and the Lim- 
ited Gun Club is to be congratulated on having at its doors so able 
and painstaking a purveyor as Mr. Hill, who invariably superin- 
tends the trapping and all the arrangements. 
The target shooting on those ground.s is different front any 
other in that there is no screen to awe one by its magnitude; 
nor can the festive and playful trapper squint through convenient 
knot holes to roast some unfortunate who may, from the color of 
his hair, style of his hat, or cut of his jib, have unwittingly in- 
curred his displeasure. Hei-e targets, of whatever kind they may 
be, emerge from the ground, srliding swiftly and serenely along 
without a suggestion of a "'nigger in the woodpile" to project 
them. 
So convenient are the grounds to the electric cars that, were 
the traps reversed, the targets could be easily thrown into them, 
although it must be admitted that it would be quite a task to throw 
the cars into the pits. But let it go at that — distance inay_ lend 
enchantment to the view — hardly ever, however, when a fellow 
is plodding along with a gun and a couple of hundred shells, 
for a loaded shell," .smokeless though it may be, still, while it 
"carries well" as to distance, carries hard as to weight; so there 
is some decided advantage in keeping all these things within 
certain limits. 
Therefore, all things considered, one can't go amiss in attend- 
ing a Limited Gun Club shoot, nor can he go wrong by putting- 
up at the Grand Hotel; so. whether one is bound for Hot Springs 
in the South, or merely Indianapolis in the center, with no ulterior 
destination, the Limited Gun Club is a splendid rendezvous, and 
a place where one and all receive fair treatment and where we all 
like to go. 
Ergo, if any reader should be in dotibt as to anything I have 
said, let him try it — and then I think I will have, after the ex- 
periment, one more to say "Amen!" Gaucho. 
Mr, Powers is not a Manufacturers' Agent. 
An E.xplanation from Paul North. 
Cleveland, Jan. 24. — Editor Forest and Stream: In our 1897 
programme we had a clause that taxed professionals and manu- 
facturers' experts $4 per day for the privilege of contesting in 
the events. 
We give as a definition of a manufacturers' expert any one 
that received any compensation of any kind from any manufacturer 
of sporting goods for his services. Mr. C. M. Powers, of Decatur, 
111., attended our tournaments, and we classed him as a manu- 
facturers' expert because, as we supposed, he had attended the 
Grand American Handicap at the expense of the Du Pont Powder 
Co. We have since been informed by Mr. E. S. Rice, of Chicago, 
that Messrs. Powers, Williamson, Marshall, Merrill, Shepard and 
the Dunnell brothers did not attend the Gra:nd American Handicap 
at the expense of the Du Pont Powder Co., but were his /personal 
guests. 
As the personal guests of Mr. E. S. Rice, these gentlemen, under 
our programme, could not be classed as manufacturers' e.xperts, 
and should not, or would not, have been so classed had we been 
aware of the facts at that time. We regret that we did the gentle- 
men or Mr. E. S. Rice, of Chicago, any injustice, and write this 
to correct, as far as possible, any injury our action may have 
cau.sed. Cleveland Target Co., per Paul North. 
Washington Heights Gun Club, 
New York, Jan. 20.— The Washington Heights Gun Club held 
its first live-bird shoot for 1898 at 170th street and Kingsbridge 
road this afternoon. The attendance was small, owing to the un- 
favorable conditions of the weather, rain and fog combining to 
make it almost unfit for shooting. Eugene Doeinck killed all 
his 14 birds, using a W inchester repeating shotgun for the first 
time. Scores:

Shooting at Baychester. 
New York, Jan. 18. — Messrs. Miller & Zorn, proprietors of the 
shooting grounds at Baychester, N. Y., where the Cobweb Gun 
Club holds its monthly shoots, gave a live-bird shoot to-day. The 
event had been poorly advertised, and as a result the attendance 
was quite small. Brewer, who was handicapped at 32yds., all the 
rest standing at 28yds., won first money in everything that was in 
sight, killing every bird he shot at during the day. Below are

Audubon Gun Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 15. — Even the disagreeable weather condi- 
tions of this afternoon could not deter the members of the Audubon 
Gun Club from their usual weekly sport over the traps, and al- 
though the number who participated in the events at Audubon 
Park was not so large as usual, yet there were enough present 
to make- the several events interesting. In the club shoot, Edward 
Reinecke was the winner of the Class A badge, Dr. E. S. Carroll 
that of Class B and J. A. Kennedy that of Class C. 
The live-bird shoot, Event No. 5, was at ten birds, and first

Garbe's M.awinter Tournament. 
Last year Mr. W. E. Garbe, manager of the shooting grounds 
at Audubon Park, gave a tournament in midwinter that was highly 
successful. Encouraged by the result of his efforts last year, Mr. 
Garbe announces that he will hold a two days' shoot, Feb. 22-23, 
at Audubon Park, all events being at bluerock targets. Manu- 
facturers' agents and paid men will be eligible to first or second 
money only. The . programme each day consists of five 1.5-target 
events, 75 cents entrance; four 20-target events, $1, and a six-men 
team race, 25 targets per man, $5 per team. The management 
will add $25 per day to the purses, $2 to each purse in the 1.5-target 
events, $2.50 in the 20-target events and $5 in the team race. There 
will be three moneys in the 15-target events and four in the 20s. 
Five per cent, of all purses will be deducted for average money, 
the fund thus obtained being divided 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent, 
to the four high guns in all programme events during the two 
days' shoot. Guns and shells shipped to W. E. Garbe, care of 
Main Street Station, Wells-Fargo Express, Bufltalo, N. Y., will be 
delivered at the grounds free of charge. Buffalo.

would be a reasonable load for a 12-gauge gun. Many high-grade 
guns, however, can take a much larger charge without any danger. 
Not knowing the quality of your gun, we think it would be better 
for you to write to the maker of the gun, giving him the number 
and asking him for a suitable load for it.

The Florida Limited for St. Augustine. 
The first train of the season left the Pennsylvania Station Mon- 
day, Jan. 17, at 11:50 A. M., via the Southern Railway, F. C. & fi,, 
and Florida East Coast. All available space was occupied. The 
Florida Limited is one of the most superbly furnished trains that 
ever left New Vork, and will be operated daily, except Sunday, 
between New York and St. Augustine. You lunch to-day in New 
York and to-morrow in St. Augustine. The train is most ex- 
quisitely furnished, and every device which may add to the wel- 
fare, comfort and enjoyment of the passengers has been provided. 
The drawing-room sleeping cars are of the latest plan of Pull- 
man, and the compartment cars, which are operated only by this 
line, are models of perfection, as the designs lor the cars' are such 
that parties occupying a compartment are free from the outside 
world. These rooms are so arranged that they can be used sepa- 
rate or thrown into a suite of private apartments, and are unsur- 
passable in completeness, etc. Families going to Florida on this 
train have as much privacy and comfort as they could enjoy within 
the portals of their princely mansions. The' uming cars are of 
the latest, and the markets of the North and South are both 
drawn upon liberally for the best and most seasonable supplies, 
while the cuisine and service are of the highest order. The library 
car is furnished with abundance of easy chairs, sofas and writing 
desks where stationery is found for the passengers' use. The 
observation car might be termed the parlor or reception room of 
the moving palace. It has large plate-glass windows on the sides 
and ends, from which the fast-flying panorama may be viewed 
with comfort. « 
Among the large number of prominent passengers on the Limited 
were the delegates to the Fishery Congress, at Tampa, Fla., 
from the States of Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecti- 
cut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the District of 
Columbia. For particulars regarding the routes to Florida and the
