Sportsmen's Exposition. 
Well equipped ranges are provided for the large number of 
competitors who haA'e entered in the dift'erent matches, and the 
crack of the rifle and the heavier reports of tlie revolvers will be 
a coincident feature of the Exposition from its opening to its 
closing. The "any" revolver championship, 20yds., 50 shots, 25 
minutes limit to each competitor; the "military" revolver cham- 
pionship match, open only to U. S. Government troops, standard 
,38cal. Government revolvers only, standard American target re- 
duced to 20yds., with Creedmoor count; the pistol championship, 
50 shots in 50 , minutes, all pistols of .22cal., barrels not over 
lOin., and the rifle championship match, open to all, .22cal. rifles, 
50 shots in 10 strings of 5 shots each, distance lOOft., are the main 
events. In addition to the foregoing there are revolver, pistol, 
German ring and standard American re-entry matches. The 
competition is under the uirection of committees as follows: 
Rifle: F. B. Crowninshild, chairman, and C. W. Tlinnian, J. T. 
Humphrey, C. IT. Eastman, J. E. Kelley. Revolver: F. B. Crown- 
inshield, cliairman, and John B. Paine, L. Bell, E. E. Partridge, B. 
Ames. 
DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
The Grand American Handicap of 1898 will be well worth watch- 
ing, as the entry list contains the names of about every shooter 
of prominence in trap-shooting circles in this country. The 
rapid growth of this annual affair, only six years old by the way, 
shows plainly enough that the Interstate Association knew what 
it was about when it inaugurated the first annual Grand American 
Handicap in 1893; and also proves conclusively that the Inter- 
state Association knows how to handle the shooters of the country 
to their entire satisfaction. It is a great event, and that of 1898 
is going to be even greater than that of 1897. 
The annual report of the Philadelphia Trap-Shooters' League, 
issued at the close of its first season's work, shows that there 
have been in the neighborhood of 70,000 targets trapped at the 
eleven shoots held under its auspices, about 22,000 of that num- 
ber having been trapped in the team shoots. The winner of 
first place was the Wayne Gun Club; next to that club came the 
Florists' Gun Club and the Roxborough Gun Club in order 
named. The order of merit that is, for percentages of targets 
shot at, was as follows: Independents .818, Florists' ,790, Penn 
.777, Silver Lake .752, Roxborough .700, Frankford .681, South- 
ward .654, University of Pennsylvania .650, Wayne .621, Glen 
Willow .599, Forest .553.^ Harvey Ridge, of the" Independents, 
won first place in the individual averages of those who shot 
in each of the eleven matches, breaking 87 per cent, of the 275 
targets shot at. All targets in the team race are thrown at 
known traps, known angles. The opening shoot of the next sea- 
son will be held on April 2, when new handicaps will be awarded 
and a new system of scoring points will be adopted in all prob- 
ability. 
An interesting forthcoming tournament is that of the Interstate 
Association, given for the Macon Cvm Club, at Macon, Ga., be- 
ginning on April 13 and lasting three days. The Macon Gun 
Club adds .f200. On the first and second days there will be re- 
spectively ten target events, six at 15, entrance ,?;i.50, and four 
at 20 targets, $2. Each event has four moneys, 40, 30, 20 and 10 
per cent. On each of these days $100 will be added. On the third 
day there are four live-bird events on the programme; No. 1, 
5 birds, .$5, two moneys, 60 and 40 per cent.; No. 2, 7 birds, $7, 
three moneys, 50, 30 and 20 per cent.: Nos. 3 and 4, each 10 birds, 
•$10, four moneys, 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. Class shooting. 
Birds 25 cents, price included in all entrances. The grounds are 
about ten minutes' ride from the center of the city. Shooting com- 
mences each day at 9 o'clock. Guns and ammunition forwarded 
to Etheridge & Bakei- will be delivered at the shooting grounds. 
Interstate Association rules will govern all events. Application 
has been made to secure reduced railroad rates, concerning which 
more will be published later. 
The programme of the Interstate shoot of the Galena Gun Club 
can be obtained of the secretary, W. L. Mcllhany, Galena, Kans, 
There will be two days at targets, one at live bivds, Louis Er- 
hardt and Jack Parker will run the shoot, which conveys all the 
information that is necessary as to how the shoot will be man- 
aged. There are ten events for the first and second days respect- 
ively, 15 targets, $1.50, $5 added to each. On the third day there 
are three live-bird events on the programme, No, 1, 5 birds, .$3; 
No, 2, 7 birds, $5; No, 3 is the Kansas wing shot championship, 
50 live birds, $10, optional sweep. After this event is finished 
sweepstakes will be shot to suit the pleasure of the visitors. High 
gtins win all moneys in the live-birds sweeps. In the target events 
the Rose system will prevail. Keep in mind the $500 added, and 
$50 for higliest average. 
The first regular monthly club shoot of the 1898-99 series of 
the Brooklyn, N. Y., Gun Club will be held on Saturday next, 
March 19. Among the prizes for distribution in February next 
will be an order on the club's exchequer for a sum covering 
the full entrance money, including the price of the birds, for 
the winner's entry in the Grand American Handicap of 1899. This 
prize will be given to the man making the highest aggregate 
in eight out of the twelve monthly shoots. The club shoots 
are handicap affairs, 50 targets per man, unknown angles, handicap 
allowance of extra targets to shoot at, no man allowed to score 
more than 50 breaks in any one shoot. After the shoot on 
Saturday next, the club will hold its monthly gatherings on the 
second Saturday of every month. 
The Piasa Gun Club, of Alton, 111., elected J. T. Drummond, 
President; C. P. Johnson, Vice-President; F. C. Riehl, Sec- 
retary; R. F. Seely, Treasurer, and A. J. Flowell, Field Captain. 
The club has fixed upon June 2 and 3 as the dates for its second 
annual bluerock tournament, at the Douglas Park range in that 
city. The most successful amateur slioot of the State last year 
was given there in the fall, and they liope to eclipse that record in 
this event. The programme will be arranged to suit old shooters, 
and there is to be $150 added money, equalized on all purses. The 
lists will be open without discrimination to all shooters, and they 
hope to accommodate 100 men. Shooters will be enabled to leave 
here at the close of this programme and go either by river or 
boat to Peoria, to attend there the annual Illinois State shoot. 
The following act has been read once in the New York State 
Assembly, and referred to the Committee on Codes: "Sec. 1. 
Section 640 of the penal code is hereby amended by adding thereto, 
at the end thereof, a new subdivision to be known as sub- 
division 16, and to read as follows: Sub-division 16. Not being 
a member of a regularly incorporated shooting association, enters 
into or trespasses upon the grounds of such association or comes 
within 200yds. thereof for the purpose of shooting at pigeons 
or other birds, which may escape from the grounds of such asso- 
ciation or who shall willfully injure any of the grounds, structures, 
buildings or other property of such association, shall be deemed 
guilty of a misdemeanor. This act shall take effect immediately." 
The first place in shooting honors at the close of the Emerald 
Gun Club's shooting season was won by Dr. G. V. Hudson, with 
a percentage which numbers 84 1-3, and points which numbered 
191/2. It was far from an idle day saunter to defeat the formidable 
array of good shooters in the list of the club's contestants. The 
Doctor is fifty-tour years old, far yet from being an old man, and 
too ripe in skill .md intellect to be classed as young. He is in the 
happy middle years of life. He was the first to take action in the 
orgaiiization of the Emerald Gun Club some seventeen years 
ago, and the years have added to his enthusiasm instead of 
dulling it. 
Keep in mind that the Platte City Gun Club's tournament, Platte 
City, Mo., precedes some of the other Western tournaments, 
and gives opportunity for competition and practice. There are 
ten events on the first day, 15 and 20 targets, entrance $1.25 and 
.$1.50, $2 or $2.50 added money to each event. Second day's 
events are the same, with a 2-man team race, 25 targets, $4 each 
team, $5 added. To the longest straight $5. Tlie Rose system 
will govern target divisions. Manufacturers' agents and paid pro- 
fessionals can shoot for prices of birds only. Guns and ammu- 
nition may be shipped care of S, Redman, secretary, 
Mr, Harry Marlin writes us that Col, George E. Bartlett, 
famous as Government scout, deputy marshal, and expert rifle 
and jiistol shot, has accepted a position with the Marlin Fire 
Arms Co. He will test all guns made by the company, and will 
represent them at sportsmen's fairs, giving exhibitions of rifle 
and pistol shooting. This week he will be in attendance at the 
Sportsmen's Exposition at Boston, where the Marlin Co. has 
a large booth. 
Mr. Geo. W. Mains, secretary of the Enterprise Gun Club, 
Reynoldton, Pa., writes us under date of March 14 that at a meet- 
ing of the club on the 12th inst., a list. of oflicers was elected as 
follows: Fred Stephan, President; John Owens, Vice-President; 
Geo. W. Mains, Secretary; P. _F. Calhoun, Treasurer; Wm. H. 
Crouch, Captain. He further informs us that their tournament 
is fixed for April 22 and 23, and their programme will be out the 
first week in April. 
Each contestant in the Grand American Handicai) should keep 
in mind that his gun should not weigh over 81bs., this exclusive 
of the recoil pad and holder. They should further note that 
a gun is liable to be weighed at any moment, even after the 
competition has begun, and if from change of climate or other 
reason the gun takes on weight it may not receive the unanimous 
approval of the management. 
Mr. Edward Banks, the secretary of the_ American E. C. & 
Schultze Powder Co., takes to the duties of his new office in the 
same kindly and iiwrposeful manner that a duck takes to the 
water. Dropping the swinging_ of the editorial lead pencil has 
not in the least aft'ected the swing of his Winchester pump gun,

thing." Uncle Dan, as the boys call him, is as popular as they 
make 'em, and anything he has to show always receives as much 
attention as Uncle Dan himself — and that's saying a good deal.
