Twenty Yard Record Broken. 
!LouisviLLE, Ky., March 22.— The weekly shoot of the Louis- 
ville Revolver Club was held at the Armory to-day; attendance 
good, and the interest in revolver shooting growing among the 
club members. 
H. S. ^Gilbert broke the 20yd. club record, making 86 on the 
Standard Anieincan target out of a possible 100; this record was 
held by Lieut. W. J. James, score 83, made Aug. 27, 1896. 
The most important record of the club is the 50yd. Standard 
Americans target, 5 shots only, possible .50. Lieut. W. J. James, 
on Jan. 25 inst., made 42, and on Feb. 9 inst. E, B. Dye made 42, 
bdtli are now tied for the record; at the ne.xt meeting Messrs. 
James,. Dye and Gilbert .will try to break it. 
H. S. Gilbert used Peters cartrid.ges loaded with King's semi- 
smokeless powder, S. & W. revolver, .SScal., single action. One 
of the rules of the club is that only full loaded factory shells can 
be used in all contests.

Keep in mind that Macon, Ga., is not near enough to Cuba to 
be dangerous, yet that it is a good place to shoot. The Interstate 
Association's trap-shooting totu'nament at Macon, April 13-14, has 
$200 added by the Macoti Gun Club. There will be ten target 
events the first and second days. Of the total of twenty target

The calendar issued by the Parker Bros., Meriden, Conn., for 
1898 contains a portrait of Mr. Charles .Parker, the founder of the 
great hou.se of Parker Bros. He is now in his ninetieth year, 
and takes a just pride in the great success of the gun which 
was first put on the market by him in 1865. Around his portrait 
•are grouped excellent portraits of the principal winners with the 
Parker gun in 1S9S, and there is a complementarv summary in 
the text. A fine cut of the cup won bv O. R. Dickey at the 
Grand American Handicap, 1896, and the ^^'orld's Fair medal make 
pleasing corner illustrations. The calendar will be sent to gun 
club secretaries free, and to individuals on receipt of 10 cents 
to defray mailing expenses. 
The Oil City Gun Club held a meeting on March 24 and elected 
officers as follows: President, A. Smedley; Vice-President, C. 
H, Lay, Jr.; Treasurer, 11. C. Dorworth; Secretary, H. C. 
Reeser; Directors, J. PI. Foskett, F. S. Bates and C. T. Mc- 
Clintock. Messrs. J. O'PI. Denny, E, E. Shaner and J. A. Wilson 
were authorized to represent the club at the Pennsylvania State 
shoot, held at Reading this week. The holding of a tourna- 
ment the coming summer is contemplated. Almost 100,000 targets 
have been used by the club in the past twelve months. 
Notwithstanding that "high guns" and "not class sliooting" are 
mentioned upward of thirty times in the programme of the In- 
terstate Association's Grand American Handicap, there were 
quite a number who misunderstood the conditions governing 
the division of the monej'. Two pages of the programme were 
devoted to an explanation of the division, the heading of which 
was "All Events High Guns." And the introditctory paragraph 
reads as follows: "The Interstate Association, being familiar 
with the requirements of such an event as the Grand American 
Handicap, has deemed it best to make all events high guns." 
The Intercollegiate Shooting Association was organized on 
March 25 by representatives from Columbia, Yale, Harvard, Prince- 
ton, and the Univer.sity of Pennsylvania, who met in the Fifth 
Avenue Hotel, New York, for that special purpose. It was de- 
termined that two shoots a year would be held, the first one to 
take place on May 7, at New Haven. The officers elected are: 
Horace Fletcher Lunt, Harvard, President: T. R. Coffin, Columbia, 
First Vice-President: H. Speer Paine, Princeton, Second Vice- 
President; Oglesby Paul, University of Pennsylvania, Secretary; 
C. B. Spears, Yale, Treasurer. 
Parmelee's easy defeat of J ack Brewer last Friday at Elk wood 
Park was rather a surprise, as everybody expected that the race 
would be a very close one. Parmelee's score of 94 ont of 100 
is not such a very hard one for a crackcrjack to approach, so that 
Brewer's 90 out of 100 must be classed as below his true form, 
Parmelee shot cleanly and snappily, never letting his birds get 
hard; Brewer on the other hand was slower than usual, and 
seemed to trust too much to the great killing ijowers of his gun 
and load. 
The annual sprin.g tournament of the Baltlrribi^e Sliooting As- 
sociation to be held next week, April ,5-8, promises to be even 
more successful than any of its predecessor.s. There, will be two 
days at targets, and two days at live birds. Messrs. H. P. Collins, 
of the .Du Pont Co., and James R, Malone, two of the moving 
spirits in the Baltimore club, were present last week at Elk- 
wood Park, and did much good missionary work for their tour- 
nament. 
Mr. Forman C. Bissett, South River, N. J., informs us that there 
will be an all-day live-bird shoot at the Raritan River Railroad 
Hotel, on Thursday, March .31, the main event being the "R. R. R. 
R. Handicap," 10 birds, $7^50 entrance, three moneys, or fovir mon- 
eys if there are over 12 entries. Birds e.xtra. The grounds can be 
reached by taking Pennsylvania R. R. to New Brunswick, where 
trolley leaves every thirty minutes for Sovith River. 
Mr. Jack Parker, the popular manager, has been invited to 
manage the tournament of the Piasa Gun Club, Alton, HI., to 
be held on June 2 and 3, and he will accept the invitation. Mrs, 
Parker, who was present at the Grand American Handicaj) a 
short while, enjoyed, with her husband, sightseeing in New York 
after the Handicap was concluded. 
A .useful and ornamental article for the desks of busy men 
a pin tray made by the Remington Arms Co., Ilion, N. Y. 'if.' 
is cunningly devised. It represents a sprocket wheel and chain, 
dished enough arotind the rim to serve the useful desk purpose 
of a pin trav. The tray will be sent free to any reader of 
Forest and Stream who may forward 4 cents in stamps to cover 
postage. 
Mr. ,E, Hough, Western correspondent of Forest and Stream, 
writes us that the Chicago challengxt trophy will be shot for at 
Watson's Park, Chicago, on April 6. In event of a contestant's 
failure to shoot, the $2 deposit will be forfeited. Each contestant 
\sn\\ shoot at 25 or more birds, as his handicap may indicate. 
Mr. Harry Graham, of Hamilton, Ont., who shot in the great 
event at Elkwood Park last week, says he will lead a party of 
.shooters from Canada next year which will demonstrate that 
there are shooters in the North as well as in the East, West 
and South. 
A number of the shooters who took part in the tiandicap have 
gone to Reading to be in attendance at the tournament of the 
Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's Association this week_, and quite 
a number will also attend the tournament at Baltimore next 
week. 
Mr. J. J. Suiiipter, Jr., of Hot Springs, Ark., received the sad 
information on Tuesday evening, ' March 22, that his father was 
dangerously ill. This ended all his intentions in respect to the 
Handicap. He started for his home as soon as possible after 
receiving the information. 
Each man who killed 24 took the view that the single bird 
missed was worth $300. It is reasonable to deduce that the two 
birds missed by the 23s were worth $150 apiece, and yet if no one 
had missed the price of birds would have been all the same — 
just as they have been. 
Mr. B. Leroy Woodward, of the Remington Arms Co., and IT. 
M. C. Co.. has leased the property of the Brockton Gun Club, 
Brockton, Mass.. for one year, and will devote those grounds 
to trap-shooting during the coming season. 
The Hudson River Trap-Shooters' League have added another 
trophy shoot to their list, fixing it for July 14 and 15, to be shot 
on the grounds of the Poughkeepsie Gun Club, Poughkeepsie, 
N. Y. "■ ' 
There will be a grand shoot on the grounds at Denville, N. J:, 
April 7, commencing at 1 o'clock, for a gun; 7 birds, $5. Other 
sweeps to suit the shooters. 
The. Hihgham Gun Club, Hingham, iSIassi, will hold a lOO-bird 
handicap race on April 19, shooting to begin at 10 A. M: 
The grounds of the Pittsburg Gun Club were reported as being 
under water from the overflow last week. 
The regular monthly , shopt of the Boiling SprilJgS "GUll' "S'lati 
takes place on Saturday of this week. 
In the Grand American Handicap Col. !\. G. Courtney, in 
spite of the fact that he has not shot at live birds for some time, 
used his Remington gun to good effect, and dropped his 25, and 
only two of them out of bound.s. 
It will be noted elsewhere in these columns that Gilbert has 
been challenged for the Du Pont trophy by Frank Parmeiee, 
Gilbert now has two matches oh hand, the .other being with 
Elliott for the Kansas City Star ctip. 
The Milwaukee Gun Club tournament will be held at Mil- 
waukee, Wis., Carnival week, June 27-July 3. S. M. du Val, sec- 
retary, 9.56 'Winchester street, Milwaukee, will be pleased to give 
all necessary information to those who apply to him for it.. . ' 
There were many rumors of a match between Jack Brewer and 
Fred Gilliert for several hundred or thousands a side, but no 
match has yet been arranged between these great artists. 
On the principle that "everything goes," they had a .shooting 
match at Glenville, Pa., the other day for a stove, .sjiring col, 
new summer lap spread, and numerous other articles. 
On the .grounds of. the Gloucester Gun Club, Gloucester, Pa., 
on March 19, J. McQuade, of Gloucester, defeated John Bruce, "of 
Philadelphia, in a match at 25 live birds, for a purse of $25.

WESTERN TRAPS. 
NO JOY IN MUDVILLE. 
CHICAGO) HI., March 26. — There is an ancient poem which runs 
.somewhat to the following effect: 
"Ob, somewhere iti' this whple wide world the suia is shining 
bright. 
Somewhere the bands are playing, and somewhere hearts are light ; 
Somewhere the little children play, witli laugh and merry shout. 
But there's no joy in Mudville— Mighty Casey has struck out!" 
By public caucus it has been resolved to amend the name of 
Chicago at the next session of the Legislature, the same, to read 
hcnceiorth, or until alter a more successful Grand American 
Handicap, as the city of Mndville. 
When the Mayor of Keithsburg arrives at his home next month 
(he won't dare go home right away), there will be no band to 
meet him at the depot. Ihere is crape on the door of .Spirit 
Lake, la., and at Des Moines and Clear Lake, la., naught is 
to be heard but the heavy footfalls of citizens out searching 
for relatives of certain men whose names begin with Charles. 
Even your uncle, Tom Laflin, who made so stroni^ a run into the 
three-quarters stretch, failed to come imder the wire. Your 
uncle Tom would better go visiting friends somewhere, but not 
in Chicago, Geneseo or Rock Island. 
As for Chicago, she had made preparations for receiving the 
conquering heroes to whom she intrusted her fond hopes 
but one short week ago. But we have for sale one prime 
fatted calf to any responsible bidder, bar any man who went 
East last Saturday. As to the list of names recently published of 
those whCi went East to show those folks, especially folks who live 
near Utica, N. Y., how to shoot, we don't remember just who the 
XJarties were. A faint recollection of the names like Bingham, 
Glover, Kuss, Shaw, or something of the sort seems to come up, 
but it is perhaps a mistake. 
We did not land the Grand American this year, it is true, but 
there are just two ways in which we Western folks will get 
even. Jack Brewer is going to shoot Fred Gilbert (one feels like 
adding the journalistic, "it is alleged" when saying this) at 
Watson's, in Chicago, in April, for "$2,500 to $5,000." We will 
win back a lot of our expenses then. And we will have the 
Grand American here in Chicago next year, of course. If we do, 
any arrangements Eastern shooters may wish to make in regard 
to training expenses would better be made before the shoot, and 
not after, for if Chicago can't land the cup in 1899 we shall be 
prepared to fill up the river and quit business at the old stand, 
It should not be ne.glected, at this sad moment, to call at- 
tention to the act of individual and unfortunately solitary heroism 
of (ten. Frank Parmelee, of Omaha, who skun one Brewer 4 birds 
to the 100 at a recent date, in Elkwood, N. J. Gen. Parmelee is 
the only man who can send in his card at Chicago or Omaha. We 
don't know the rest of those people, and they will have to get a 
record before they can come back here. 
As for the winner, the Chicago shooters who did not go to the 
.shoot speak very highly of him and wish to offer their congratu- 
lations. Pie had a good thing in the Handicap, but he would 
have won it anyhow, and the shooters of the West wish to take 
off their bats and compliment Mr. Fulford, of Utica, very sincerely. 
Barring a Western man, this win is as poptilar in this region as 
any could have been, and if the citizens of Utica want to bor- 
row our calf and our band they can have them and welcome.

Pawlimg, N. Y,, March 26.— The Pawlinj^; 'Rod . ■>^iftl Gun Club 
held a shoot here to-day in which ten men participated. Event 
No. 8, the shoot for the club badge, was won by Dutcher. iN'o 
9, the first monthly shoot of the year for the members' loving 
cup, was won by Lefurgy. Greiff, Dutcher and Taber were scratch 
men in this event. Greiff had high score, but is not a member 
of the club. The exceedingly low scores were the result of a 
young cyclone which swept over the grounds from all points of 
the compass, making it difficult for the shooters to keep their 
positions at the score. The scores;
