The Boiling Springs Gun Club held its weekly shoot on Sat- 
urday, March 5, the event drawing together a goodly number of 
shooters, many of whom quit at the traps only when darkness 
made shooting no longer possible. The club pigeon dinner was 
a great success in every respect, and it was a matter of no small 
wonder that so many 100 per cent, men with a knife and fork 
should vary so widely in their percentages at the traps. It was 
a thoroughly enjoyable aft'air. The bird.s were very diflicult to 
negotiate, every third bird being very erratic and swift of flight,, 
testing the skill of the best shots to the utmost.

For More Varied Styles of Shooting, 
New Yokk, Feb. 2(j.~-Edilor Forest, avd Stream: It was with 
great pleasure that I read in your issue of this date a communi- 
cation from your Worcester, Mass., correspondent Mr. A. W. 
Walls, advocating strongly the introduction of "more varied styles 
of shooting" into tournament programmes. Mr. Walls' letter 
was_ the outcome of his reading some editorial remarks on this 
.subject, which were written by me prior to my resignation of 
the trap editorship of your piiblication, and which appeared in 
your issue of Feb. 12. * 
Since I wrote those remarks I have heard very many trap- 
shooters express themselves as entirely in sympathy with the 
movement, and further expressing a hope that clubs will act upon 
the hints thrown out, and give us who shoot and the spectators 
who come to look on and learn something less monotonous and 
less mechanical than known traps, unknown angles. Mr. Walls' 
letter has the right ring about it, and I agree with him that if 
there was more variety in the styles of shooting, there would be 
more shooters at the score than there are at present. 
The main point, however, is this, and it should not be over- 
looked, that the clubs on their own grounds and in their practice 
shoots must set the example and give the boys regular practice 
at all styles of shooting, whether reversed order, expert rules, 
one man up or pairs. It would be ridiculous to expect a man to 
come up and enter any event at a style of shooting of which he 
IS comparatively ignorant. There must be practice at home. 
I fully believe that if the parties who run the regular weekly 
or monthly practice shoots of the club were to vary the style of 
shooting more they would soon see a change of heart on the 
part of their fellow members, and would find that the shooters 
did not need much coaxing to get them out to the grounds 
when there was going to be a shoot. 
My experience, which is the result of three years and a half of 
close connection with scores sent in to your office from all parts 
of the United States, tells me that abovtt 99 out of every 100 
targets thrown during that period, at tournaments or in club prac- 
tice shoots, have been thrown either at known traps and known 
angles or at known ti-aps, unknown angles. Occasionally one 
comes across an event at pairs, and sometimes an event at ex- 
pert rules, one man up; reversed order, Mr. Walls' favorite, is 
seldom seen or heard of outside of the New England States, 
although it is an excellent style of shooting to teach accuracjr 
of holding in the matter of "lead," etc. 
I trust that Mr. Walls' letter and this communication of mine 
may not be the last echoes of the keynote struck in your issue 
of Feb. 12. Edward Banks. 
Trap at Newton, Pa. 
Newton, Pa., Feb. 22. — ^A trap-and-handle match was shot here 
to-day under Schuylkill county rules between Harry Adams, 
of this place, and Evan Kimmel, of Donaldson, for $100 a side, 
at 15 bird.s apiece. It was won by Adams' 12 to Kimmel's 9. 
Much prejudice was manifested throughout the match, which 
is one of the features of a trap-and-handle match. The betting 
was heavily in favor of Adams. Fred Coleman was final referee.

On March 12 we will have an all-day shoot at targets and live 
birds, besides an individual match at 100 targets between Fred 
Coleman and Fr ancis Weist. A big time is expected, as every-

Sherbrooke (Canada) Qua. Club, 
At the annual meeting of the Sherbrooke Gun Club, held Feb. 
12, the following were elected officers for the ensuing year: Pres- 
ident, W. B. Neil; Vice-President, Chas. D. White; Captain, 
Chas. G. Thompson; Secretary, C. H. Foss; Directors: N. G. 
Bray, John W. McNicol. 
Much regret was expressed at the report of the committee 
that the Interstate Association had decided not to come to 
Canada this season, as the club had every reason to believe that 
an extra large field would have been the result. 
The usual annual tournament will be held on Friday, July 1, 
and the members will do their utmost to have it a record breaker 
in the way of good sport. They have a lot of new ideas, and 
a first-cflass variety programme may be looked for. The Sher- 
brooke tournaments have always been well attended, and those 
who once come can always be counted on to come again. The 
city is easy of access from all points, and the hotel charges are 
half rates to shooters. Street cars are running everywhere, and 
the new grounds will be on the line. Amateurs should keep
