Hot Springs* Vapors, 
Mr. G. F. Simmons, of Peoria, lU., secretary of the Illinois 
State Sportsmen's Association, arrived in the Springs several 
da3's before the commencement of the tonrnament, but was un- 
able to remain, being called home on ' accovmt ol the serious 
illness of his wile. 
Funk and Garrett, the two Colorado shooters, created a most 
favorable iuipression. If tliey arc a fair sample of the Western 
shooters, send along more of them next time. 
Faurote perhaps felt as though his handicap was a trifle too 
severe. Flowcver, he never murmured or complained, but shot 
along the best he could. A j'ard nearer would most likely have 
landed him in the 24 hole, as two of his lost birds just managed to 
struggle out of bounds. That 99 out of 100 last October was re- 
sponsible for placing him at 31yds. Frank expects to take in 
the Grand American. Tt is then that that supper Heikes and Budd 
and Gilbert and Bartlett won of him and Winston will be eaten. 
Eaton is a quite unpretentious yoimg fellow who will probably 
he heard from or the W'estern circuit thiS season. 
That Marshalltown, la., trio made a host of friends by their 
quiet and gentlemenly demeanor. Such sportsmen contribute 
much toward the success of a shoot. 
This was Tom (Sraham's first trip South, and for some reason 
or other he failed to shoot up to his usual high standard. Try 
it again, Tom, and perhaps next time you will demonstrate to 
the Southerner just how good a shot you arc. 
Charley Young was clearly out of form on targets. It was 
amusing to hear him explain how he lost his first pigeon in the 
handicap. He said: "I hit him right in the middle of the back, 
and though it brought a cloud of feathers he M'ouldn't have it, 
but kept right on." 
Col. Martin, he of rotund appearance arid getiial §ood nature, 
shot way up to the top at times, but was hampered by having to 
shoot all kinds of shells. On the fourth day his was one of the 
high guns. He missed several occasions to land good money 
by losing his last target. One of these lijsses' occurred hy not 
having his safety up. 
Mr. C. J. Schmelzer, of the Schmclzer Arms Co., of Kansas 
City, was present at the tournament, and while not participating 
took much interest in the shooting. Mr. Schmelzer is the donor 
of the Schmelzer cup. which represents the target championship 
at reversed angles. _ It will be remembered that Heikes, A^'an 
Dyke and Yoimg tied for the cup at San Antonio in January, 
1897, and that this tie was never decided. Mr. Schmelzer states 
that one of the conditions of the cup is that it must be put up 
in open competition once a year, and that now more than thirteen 
months have elapsed and no such contest had taken place. He 
holds that TVIessrs. Heikes. Van Dyke and Young had forfeited 
all rights to the trophy, and that there will be an open con- 
test for it at Charlie Budd's shoot at Des Moines. la., the third 
week in April,, 100 targets, reverse angles, entrance price of 
targets. ... ... 
Mr. Irby Bennett, of the Winchester Arrtts Co,, Was pi'eseht just 
long enough to shake hands all around and say good-by. Almost 
as soon as he arrived on the grounds he received a telegram call- 
ing him East at once. The war scare is probabb' responsible 
for this. 
That $4 tax on the paid shooter did not work much of a hardship 
on Heikes. as he got a piece of the, high gun money each dav, 
so he was not Out anythinsr by this tax. 
All those who were fortunate enough to be one of that special-car 
partv from Indianapolis were loud in their praise of Mr. John 
M. Tilh'; as he made all the arrangements for the trip, and 
left nothing undone that would add to the comfort or pleasure 
of those who were of the partj'. To Mr. Lilly belongs all 
the credit for the success of the trip. Mrs. Lilly and daughter 
and Mrs. Beck also accompanied the party. 
There was a childish displaj' of temper on the part of a certain 
shooter for some fancied or imaginary detect in his gun. or more 
probably because he did not point it right: he became so enraged 
that he deliberately brought his fine ejector prun down on the 
ground with such force ,is to wreck it completely. 
Pa Beck did not get a part of high gun money, but he managed 
to make a straight now and then. But above all he kept the 
shooters in high spirit by the number of good varus he is able 
to tell. It would be rather singular indeed if Pa did not have 
a new one to spring on the gang. 
Mr. Macalister and wife are sojourning at the Springs. Mr. 
Macalister's reputation as a shooter is well established, but it 
is not generally known that ATrs. Macalister is one of the best 
lady shots in the country. On the Saturday prior to the com- 
mencement of the tournament she broke 45 targets out of 50. 
True, five of these breaks were made with the second barrel, 
but even at that it was a very creditable performance, and ex- 
celled the score made by her husband and Mr. Young on that 
particular occasion. 
Col. Courtney si:stained a very severe injury to his thumb, 
which pained him so that he was unable to shoot. the programme 
out. Herbert Taylor, the only other trade representative who 
dropped out, was handicapped hy a new gun. 
Jack Fanning's work on targets was very indifferent, but it 
was in the live-bird handicap that he showed what a really good 
shot he is. To score 24 out of 25 of such birds as were trapped 
in the handicap from the .32yds. mark is truly a performance to 
be proud of. This was equaled by only one other scratch man, 
Frank Parmelee duplicating the feat under precisely the same 
conditions. 
The guns and loads ttsed at this tournament foot up as follows: 
Guns— Smith 18, Parker 12, Winchester 6, Greener 5, Wesley 
Richards 1, Purdey 1. Claybrough 1, and Daly 1. Powders — Du 
Pont 26, E. C. 9, Schultze 5, Hazard 4, Gold Dust 4, King 3, 
and W-A 1. Shells— U. M. C, 24, Winchester 16, Peters 3, while 
five .others shot U. M. C. and Winchester combined.

Dansville Gun Club. 
Dansville, N. Y., Feb. 18.— The Dansville Gun Club held its 
regular practice shoot to-day. The attendance was smaller than 
usual, due no doubt to the threatening weather, but the after- 
noon proved to be pleasant, and the members who ventured out 
to the grounds were well paid for their trouble, as the sport was 
fine. Everybody went away satisfied that they had gotten their 
money's worth of shooting for one day. The club's best previous 
average for a day's shooting was raised three points to. 59 per cent., 
as the following scores will show:

HoUday^Shoot at Pawling, N, Y. 
Pawling, N. Y., Feb. 22.— To-day being Washington's Birthday, 
the Pawling Gun Club held an all-day shoot at targets. The 
weather of the past four days was such that it was sufficient 
to discourage any but the most enthusiastic trap-shooters from 
braving the elements in search of sport. To-day was not much 
better, only instead of rain it was a case of snow squalls all 
day. The attendance therefore was quite light, There was but 
little wind, but the light was very deceiving, and the background 
of wooded hills made it hard to see the targets. The club too 
has a set of bluerock expert traps that can and do throw the 
targets "out of sight" in more senses than one. When keyed 
up for bttsiness, as on this day, they threw the targets fullv 
60 to 65yds. The slope of the hill side, on which the ground's 
are located, made it extremely difficult to properly gauge the 
flight of the targets. Hence many lamentable "fall downs." 
Among those present from a distance were: Edward Banks, 
secretary of the American E. C. & Schultze Powder Co.; Ferd 
Van Dyke, of the Winchester Co,, shooting Laflin & Rand's 
W-A powder; Mrs. M. F. Lindsley, of Cincinnati, O., looking 
after the interests of King's Smokeless and Peters' cartridges; 
Jacob Pentz, of New Y^ork; H. Nelson and T. G. Dutcher, also 
of NcM' Y"ork; H. Lefurgy, of Hastings, N. Y. ;' W. H. Hyland and 
Miss M. E. Hyland, his young daughter, from Tarrytown, N. 
Y. ; I. Tallman and C. Foster, Millbrook, N. Y,j C. Schou, Jr., 
and H. Sisson, Poughkeepsie, N. Y., etc. 
The management of the shoot was in the hands of F. C. 
Taber, president of the home club; Mort Haynes, its secretary, 
and G. A. Daniels, the club's treasurer. Mr. Daniels, assisted 
by Mr. Lefurgy, took charge of the cashier's department in a 
most efficient manner; T. E. Roberts acted as referee, and did 
his work well, his eyesight being better than that of most of the 
shooters; Fcrd Chapman, the puller, did his work capitally, 
balks being very few and far between. Three traps were used, 
being set Sergeant system, the angles on quartering targets being 
specially acute. The chib's small club house was well filled, 
many spectators being on hand to watch the shooting; yet there 
was room for the shooters as well, although the crowd was a little 
bit thick when the time came to attack the free lunch set be- 
fore its guests by the .Pawling Gun Club. AH in all, it was 
a very pleasant shoot, notwithstanding the weather. 
Below are the scores made in the programme events, Van Dyke 
carrying- off fir.st honors qiiite easily:

Improved Service to Florida, East Coast, New Yotfc and 
Florida and Palm Beach Limited. 
The present season, now at its height, has been the mopt suc- 
cessful one the South has ever known. • • ' 
The social summer life of Bar Harbor, Saratoga, Lenox and 
all the chief resort centers of the North, has been transferred 
to^ Florida, Aiken and Augusta. 
The winter climatically is the most delightful one in many 
years at all of these places. Golf, shooting and fishing, bicycling 
and tennis rule the day, and concerts^ entertainments and" balls 
occupy the evenings. 
On the East Coast of Florida surf bathing and bicj^cling upon 
the hard boulevard-like beaches are the popular diversionsr 
The New York and Florida Limited, "The Florida Short Line." 
the most magnificent train in the world, has been the greatest 
factor in making the Southern season succes.sful, because it has 
made the journey itself a veritable delight. When the announce- 
nicnt of the New York and Florida Limited was first made pub-' 
lie, it was heralded by the press througli the length and breadth 
of the land as an illustration of the extreme limit which it 
was possible to reach, both as to speed and the refinements of 
travel. Many expressed the belief that the fast time advertised 
could not possibly be made. To cut down old established 
schedules from twelve to eighteen hours seemed impossible: to 
be able to lunch in New York one day and St. Augustine the next, 
preposterous. 
And yet all of this has been done; not on a few special" pcca- 
sions, but regularly for several seasons by the New York" and 
Florida Limited, and its remarkable time has been maintained 
with the regularity of clock work. Thousands of delighted pas- 
sengers who have made the journey on this train de luxe be- 
tween New York and Florida have realized that upon it traveling 
has been brought to a fine art. 
Aiken, S. C, and Augusta, Ga.,' ate most comfortably and 
quickly reached by the New York and Florida Limited, a 
throug-h Pullman drawing-room car to and from these popular re- 
sorts being part of the equipment of this train. 
Passene-ers leaving New York at 11:.50 A. M. reach Aiken at 
9:15 A. M., and Augusta at 10 A. M. the next day. 
Jekvl Island and Brun.swick. Ga. fthe gem resorts of the
