April i6, 1898.I 
f^ORESt AND STREAM, 
Mr. A. W. Van Allen, Agent of the Bradford Press Mfg. Co., 
New York, took part in John Wright's shoot last Saturday, and 
was as calm and unconcerned in his shooting as if he were not a 
lieutenant in the 2d Artillery, under orders to be ready at a mo- 
ment's notice to go to the front as part of the entertainment com- 
mittee of visiting riflemen in Cuba. A badly bruised forefinger 
and a strange gun detracted from his best work at tlie traps, With 
3,800 acres of preserve in Sullivan county, in which wanders the 
blithesome grouse in abundance, to which mav be added trout 
in two lakes and pickerel in one, all within the confines of the 
same preserve, there should be shooting and fishing enough, and 
of quality enough, to satisfy any one, It is quite certain that it will 
far surpass anything found in Cuba. 
Mr. G. R. Walton, secretary of the Montpelier Gun Club. Mont- 
pelier, Vt., writes us that at the annual meeting on April 4 a list 
■of officers was elected as follows: IVesident, J. G. Brown; Vice- 
President, C. H. Ferris; Secretary-Treasurer, G. B. Walton; Cap- 
tain, C. O. Barrett; Executive Committee: H. R. Wheelock and 
C. L. Smith. This week the grounds will be open for the season. 
Fridays are fixed for the regular club shoots luitil further notice. 
The club will be pleased to entertain all shooting friends on that 
'day. Mr. Walton further says: "It has been suggested that we 
hold the State champonship team badge, which our teaoi won at 
Burlington last year, open for competition. We sliall so consider 
it, and will be pleased to entertain propositions from any club 
5n the State with reference to arranging shoots for same." 
Dr. E. L. Baker, \yho for the past twelve years has beeii presi- 
dent of the Baker Gun & Forging Co., Batavia, N. Y., has re- 
signed his position, owing for the most part to ill health, the 
doctor having for a number of years past been a sufferer from 
complications which have made it almost imperative for him to 
cease from_ work and worry, incident to the management of the 
concern with which he has so long been connected. Within a 
short time the doctor purchased a beautiful farm of a thousand 
acres or so in the vicinity of Norfolk. Va., and it is his purpose to 
go there and lead a quiet life and recruit his health. The 
doctor still retains moneyed interest in the Baker Gun & Forging 
Co. and is one of its trustees. 
The time intervening before the New Jersey State Sportsmen's 
tournament to be held on May 17-20, is none too long for the com- 
pletion of the preliminary arrangements. Mr. Hollis Greene has 
retired from the chairmanship of the committee, and the latter 
body is working hard, so that the programme should be prepared 
and ready for general distribution soon. The tournament of the 
Association will be held on the grounds of the East Side Gun 
Club, Newark, N. J., a place so central that it should draw the 
shooters from all points to participate in it. The secretary, Mr. 
T. H. Keller, 88 Chambers street, will be pleased to answer all 
inquiries and give all necessary information concerning it. 
On April .5 Mr. Arthur Sussman won the gold medal offered by 
the Elkwood Park Association to the contestant winning the 
greatest number of the Central Gun Club's monthly shoots of 1897. 
Messrs. Sussman and Daly, Jr., had respectively four wins to 
their credit, and tied on 10 birds, each scoring 9. In the miss-and- 
out both killed straight to the Ifith bird, when both missed. Daly 
lost his 24th and Sussman won. In this medal contest A. P'. 
Cubberly and W. R. Patten had each two wins to their credit. In 
the club shoot which took place afterward, the scores were: 
Sussman 10, Patten 9, Marryott 8, and Daly 6. 
Mr. O. R. Dickey, after the Baltimore shoot, decided to put 
his Parker guns in their cases and fly with them to the West to 
take part in the tournaments which there abound for some weeks 
to come. By the way, speaking of guns, there was a granddaddy 
gun used in the Baltimore tournament, a Parker with the old- 
fashioned, but sterling, lifter action, bought in 1872, by Mr. Mort. 
Mayhew, who in the years agone was a giant at the traps, and con- 
tested with the best men of those days. This gun bore the num- 
ber 2357, and was in sharp contrast to the .$400 Parker with which 
Mr. Dickey establishes title to cups and things. 
In the somewhat strained style in which the daily press through- 
out the country described the finish between Messrs. Fulford and - 
Loomis the phrase "It was a duel between the East and the 
West," or "It was then the East against the West," recurs with 
constant regularity. And yet it was a contest to a finish between 
two great shooters in which the question of section had no part 
whatever. The domicile of the contestants was neither directly nor 
indirectly a part of the Grand American Handicap. It was suf- 
ficiently interesting in itself without the aid of extraneous and 
false issues. 
The second annual tournament of the Radnor Gun Club will 
be held three miles from Norristown, Pa., April 21. The main 
event will be the lOO-target handicap, open to all. The poorer 
shots will have a handicap allowance. The entrance is $1.50, the 
price of the targets, and the winner will be presented with a 
handsome silver pitcher, donated by the club. Sweepstake shoot- 
ing will commence at 10 o'clock A. M. For further particulars 
address the secretary, Wm. Torpey, Jr., Radnor Station, Pa. 
The Crescent Athletic Club closed its shooting season on April 
1. During the past five months it has thrown 32,738 targets, an 
increase of 9,367 over last season. The two silver cups evoked 
a warm contest quite up to the finish. Wilmot Townsend won with 
a percentage of .75, Geddes following close up with .7482, and 
Stake also close up with .7433. Nine scores were necessary to 
qualify. 
Under date of April 6, Mr. H. M. Corlis, secretary Dupont 
Shootmg Park, Hillside, Mo., writes Mr. Paul R. Litz'ke as fol- 
lows: "Through the kind assistance of Fosest and Stream, 
the indications are that we will have in the neighborhood of 75 
or 80 shooters from abroad. Mr. Head, president of the Trap- 
Shooters' League, of Indiana, says that there will be about 15 or 
20 from his State." 
The Troisdorf Powder Co., 320 Broadway, New York, has pre- 
sented a beautiful silver cup to the Brooklyn Gun Club as a trophy 
to be competed for in the club contests. The conditions per- 
taining to it have not yet been decided upon, but the contests 
will probably cover a period of siic months before it will become 
the property of any contestant. 
Mr. Paul North, of the Cleveland Target Co., was a visitor on the 
first day at the Baltimore tournament, thence he went to Macon, 
Ga., to attend the Interstate shoot held there this week. From 
Reading, Pa., to Macon, Ga., visiting many intermediate cities 
meanwhile, has kept the expounder of blue rocks and magautraps 
very busy during the past weeks. 
As will be seen by the report of the contest for the Chicago chal- 
lenge trophy, in "Western Traps," Mr. A. C. Paterson defeated 
a field of twenty-four contestants, and broke 24 of the strings at- 
tached to the trophy at the same time. If Mr. Paterson had been 
in the Grand American Handicap, who knows what would have 
been writ on the pages of its history. 
Mr. C. A. Macalester, of Baltimore, who shot in the Maryland 
Handicap under the name of Hayward, made a very pretty per- 
formance in killing 25 straight, he being alone in first place. It 
was all the more notable, as he was opposed by the best profes- 
sional talent in America. 
The Decoration Day (May 30) programme of the Glenwood Gun 
Club, Newburgh, N. Y., calls for seven events, 10, 15, and 20 tar- 
gets, 100 in all, with a uniform entrance of $1; 10 per cent, of 
purses will be taken for average money, four high guns. Targets 
2 cents each. Those who choose may shoot for birds onl}% 
Messrs. U. F. Bender, of Fanwood, N. J., and Geoi-ge Piercv 
of Jersey City, have arranged to shoot a live-bird match, 25 birds' 
$25 a side 28yds., on April 21, at 1:30 P. M., on the grounds of 
the East Side Gun Club, Newark. Mr. L. Shortemeier is referee 
and stakeholder. 
There was an exodus of the manufacturers' agents to the West 
after the Baltimore tournament, each intent on proving title to 
various sums of added money which as yet are without ownership 
besides looking after tlie interests of their respective houses, - 
The Baker Gun Quarterly, an eight-page paper devoted to the 
interests of the Baker gun, contains much matter of interest 
and much of practical value. It can be obtained by applying 
to the Baker Gun and Forging Co., Batavia, N. Y. • 
On April 5, Capt. Stevens, of New Brunswick, N. J , defeated 
W. H. Terry, of VVestfield, N. J., in a match for $50 a side at 50 
birds, in the Middlesex Driving Park; score, 45 to 44. Stevens 
stood at 30yds., Terry at 28. 
The New Jersey State Sportsmen's Association has its consti- 
tution, rules, etc., m printed form, for distribution among its mem- 
bers and such others as have an interest in its doings. 
Messrs, Collins and Malone, managers of the Baltimore tourna- 
ment, did their utmost to make the meeting a pleasant one for 
all the visitors and participants. 
Mr. E. S. Rice informs us, under date of the Uth inst that the 
Gilbert-Elhott match set for Tuesday of this week, was postponed 
to the 26th- inst., on account of Mr. Elliott's illness. 
Next week, on Wednesday, the Boiling Springs Gun Club's main 
event is the gold watch handicap, entrance price of targets.

^EW UTRECHT GUN CLUB. 
Brooklyn, N. Y., April 9,— The New Utrecht Gun Club's bi- 
monthly live-bird shoot at Woodlawn to-day was fairly well at- 
tended.' The birds were all a fast lot, and very few straight scores 
were made. Mr. Sykcs, the president, made his ap^pearance at 
the grounds, the first time for many weeks, he having been in 
Europe. Now that he has returned be will get behind the "wagon" 
and push things. We all know of his ability for doing things. 
Shoots will be more numerous and certainly more intere.st t^iken.

BROOKLYN GUN CEUB. 
The pleasant Saturday afternoon shoot of the Brooklyn Gun 
Club, on April 9, on its grounds at the end of the King's Coimty 
Elevated R, R,, Brooklyn, was well attended and quite as well 
enjoyed. The club's popular manager, John Wright, strives to 
make the shoots both a matter of friendly contest and pleasant 
enjoyment. He always has some article of sterling worth as a 
reward of merit to those who have proper skill, and to each 
shooter who is less than an expert is allotted a good and fair han- 
dicap allowance. Whatever the prize, it is the best of its kind, 
something of use, and in value quite as high as the entrance 
moneys will permit. The amateur is welcome to stay in the 
sweeps or to stay, out, as he pleases. He shoots as makes him 
happiest. 
in the 15-target event, as in the club shoot, the contest was com- 
mendably good. The prize in the 15-target event, a fine leather 
cartridge box, was a very desirable article to win. Some pro- 
longed ties were shot oft', Banks, scratch; Swan, Skidmore, Hat- 
field and Billings remaining in, Hatfield finally winning. The 
latter is shooting in good form, and has made rapid gain in skill 
in the past few weeks. Nearly ' everyone shot till his ammunition 
was exhausted.

The weather was exceedingly pleasant, being clear, comfortable 
and full of sunshine. A slight wind was blowing from the shoot- 
er to the trap, but it was not sufficiently strong to affect the flight 
of the targets. ° 
Arkansas State Sportsmen's Association. 
■ Little Rock, Ark., April 8.— This organization is still doin°- 
business, and should any one inquire about it, just a trifle more 
active than ever. So that as now it appears to be in order to 
claim date you might put the following on the slate: Eighth 
annual tournament of the Arkansas State Sportsmen's Association 
July 26, 27 and 28, Little Rock, Ark. Paul R. Litzke. Sec'y 
What inducements we will be able to offer is a subject on which 
we cannot commit ourselves. This shoot will certainly be up to 
the standard, and we will endeavor to make it excel" any of its 
predecessors, which will be quite a task, for there were few as 
successful tournaments last year as the one given by this Asso- 
ciation at Pine Bluff'. The added money then was $500!' This 
we hope to duplicate if not surpass. 
Another thing that it is well to bear in mind is that nothiui^ 
but the Rose system goes here in Arkansas. We may be a trifle 
antediluvian, but experience has taught us that this is what makes 
shooters, and it is quantity not quality we are after. It is not 
necessary to infer from this that the trade representative will be 
barred, for this is not the case. He will be permitted to win our 
coin under certain restrictions. 
AT LITTLE ROCK. 
Nothwithstanding that no annuoncement had been made in 
the sportsmen's journals, a very pleasant and successful little 
tournament was run off here yesterday. There was a nice little 
programme arranged, which consisted of ten 15-target events 
while the inducements were $50 added money ($5 added in each 
event), 2-cent targets and a nice lunch at noon time. The shoot- 
ers in the nearby cities were notified of the event, and some few 
were on hand. The Pine Bluff Club had a nice deleo-ation of 
four present, namely. Dr. H. E. Williams, J. T. Lloyd, E. A. How- 
ell and J. A. Coles. W. A. Leach came down from Fort'simth 
and John J. Sumpter, Jr., was over from Hot Springs. These 
with the local shooters, made up a nice congenial crowd, whicij 
while it was not large kept the magautrap very busy; so that 
during the day a few over 3,000 targets were thrown. 
In the first preliminary sweep Sumpter broke 14 out of 15, and 
immediately after went into a" trance, from which he did not 
awake until he had chalked 84 straight, finishing the first 100 with 
99 to his credit. When he had shot the programme through, it 
was found that he had an even 96 per cent. He broke several 
records and established some new ones. This is the first time 
any State shooter has ever made so high an average, while it is 
also the first time any of this class has scored 99 out of 100. The 
best previous straight run made at any tournament in the State 
was Thibault's 83, which was accomplished on July 5, 1894, on 
the very same grounds. 
Thibault, it will be seen, also shot very well to-day, bemg 
second, and the only other one to reach an average of 90 per 
cent. Pemberton was in good form also, finishing just two birds 
short of Thibault. 
The weather was propitious, though a trifle cold for April. 
Everything passed off without a hitch, the magautrap working 
nicely. All the participants expressed themselves in the most 
flattering terms of the management and the shoot. 
Aside from the regular programme, which appears' below, there 
were a number of extras shot. 
There were fovir moneys in each event, divided under the Rose 
system.

PIGEONS AT MEMPHIS. 
The third contest for the Memphis Gun Club medal took place 
on April 1, and resulted in a win for Edrington with a clean 
score of 25 straight. Dr. Gregg was a close second, finishing 
with 24, losing his 22d bird. The way matters have been going 
there promises to be many a race for the trophy yet, as each 
.of the three contests so far have been productive of a different 
winner. Poston or Frank is about due to land the emblem 
win to their credit. To become permanent possessor of the 
medal a member must win it three times, not necessarily in suc- 
cession. There are six or eight shooters in this club who are about 
as near equal in shooting skill as one generally finds, so I should 
not be at all surprised if the next contest would produce a new 
winner. Poston or Frank is about due to land the emblem. 
The weather on this occasion was favorable for a contest of this 
kind. The scores:

A 50 BIRD RACE. 
On Wednesday, April 6, seven members gathered on the club 
grounds to participate in a 50-bird contest. The conditions of 
this event were two high guns — 60 and 40 per cent. The third high 
gun, however, was to save stake. It will be seen that some great 
shooting was done, Poston winning first on the excellent score of 
-18 out of 50, finishing with a run of 36 straight. Edrington with 
47 took second, while White, who scored 46, only managed to 
save himself even by such good work as that. "Irby Bennett, 
who is back to Memphis, killed 45, as did Frank, but 90 per cent, 
did not pay anything on this occasion. 
It was a beautiful day, clear and cold, and there was a large 
crowd.
