A fortune awaits the man who can discover a remedy for 
"flinching" or "fudging," as the sudden slirinking at the mo- 
rlietat of firing is called, and which results ih either a wild shot 
Of a tnost ridiculous failure to shoot at all. A peculiar feature of 
the inattet is that the victim does not know the cause of it. He 
Cahtiot tell whether the failing is iiiental or physical, subjective or 
bbJfectiVe. At the moment of pulling the trigger there is a nervous 
flinching, although the shooter st.ahds at the score with his 
usual confidence. The advice offered as cures for the evil, by men 
who are wise in the matter, is as follows: To lengthen the stock, 
to shorten the stock; to hold the gun harder against the .shoulder, 
to hold the gun lightly against the shoulder; to use lighter loads 
of powder, and so on, ad infinitum. If there is any good Samari- 
tan who knows how to cure the evil of flinching, he would con- 
fer a ^reat boon on many shooters about New York and else- 
where if he would make his panacea known. 
The first tournament of the Connecticut State League will be 
held on the New Haven Gun Club's grounds, near Schuetzen 
Park, May 17. Shooting commences at 9:30. All shooters are

race, composed of members representing clubs of the league, will 
begin at 2 o'clock. 
On Thursday of this week the Catchpole Gun Club, Wolcott, 
N. Y., will give a bluerock tournament shoot, to begin at lO 
o'clock A. M. The Jack Rabbit system will govern. Events 
1, 3, 5. 7, 9, 11 and 13" are at 10 targets, 50 cents, surplus money

The friends of Mr. George Work will rejoice to know of his 
rapid recovery from the effects of a surgical operation for appen- 
dicitis, performed on him about three weeks ago. While on a 
visit to Arizona an acute attack of the disease hastened his re- 
turn to New York, where he was placed imder the care of several 
skillful physicians and surgeons, with the happy result above 
mentioned. 
The Valley City Gun Club, of Grand Rapids, Mich., has 
arranged a novice class for its less skillful members. The latter 
can shoot from 1 to 3 o'clock in the afternoon at the expert 
traps. At 3 o'clock the regular programme begins at the Magau- 
trap. Members are classified in the trophy and medal events as 
seniors and juniors, according to their known records. 
Four birds between the winners and the losers in the champion 
contests seems to be a standard number at present. Parmelee 
beat Brewer by a score of 91 to 90. Next Gilbert defeated Farme- 
lee bv a score of 86 to 82. And now comes forth Jim Elliott 
with a score of 90 to Gilbert's 86. The ancient odd number, 
13, is likely to lose its job if this 4 holds its career a while longer. 
The Lincoln Gun Club, of Alameda, Cal., introduced a novel 
event at its shoot on April 17. It was called "the coursing 
match." The names of the contestants were drawn from a hat 
in pairs. The pairs shot against each other, the winners going 
into the second round, and so on, round after round, till there 
was but one left, after the manner of a coursing match. 
The race between Messrs. Paterson and Cunnyngham, of Chi- 
cago, for the Chicago challenge trophy, April 29, resulted in a 
tie. The plunger of Cunningham's gun broke. A consequent 
change of gun resulted in a loss of the rem.^ining two birds, the 
24th and 25th. Each scored 20. The match will be shot again 
on Friday of tliis week. 
Mr. C. M. Hobart, secretary of the Hobart Gun Club, Hobart,

The blithesome zephyrs of the past month blew some frazzles 
on many things, but none more than on the general averages of 
trap-shooters. From north and south, east and west, come re- 
ports of low scores caused by the j\Iarch winds.

ON LONG ISLAND. 
BROOKLYN GUN CLUB. 
April 29.— The all-day invitation shoot of the Brooklyn Gun 
Club, held to-day, was a pronounced success. John Wright, 
the managerj exerted himself to make the day a pleasant one 
for the club's guests. In the merchandise events, the poorer 
shooters received handicap allowances, which gave them a chance 
against the more expert shots, and the sweepstake events had 
three and four moneys, so that while none won anything more 
than would go on expense account, iio one lost eliough to be of 
any importance. , • . . 
The day was cloudy and the light dull, though the absence 
of wind was favorable to the shooters. Manager VVright had 
arranged the magautrap so it threw the targets higher, and 
full scores were by no menas an easy matter to make. 
There was a good attendance of amateur shooters, as the scores 
below will show. 
Nos. 1 and 2 were at 10 targets, 50 cents. Nos. 3 and 5 were 
at 15 targets, 75 cents. Nos. 6 and 9 were 15 targetrs, $1. 
After the ten regular events had been shot through. Manager 
Wright announced that the extra events would be shot at the 
pleasure of the shooters, the targets being thrown for one cent 
each. Five extra events were shot off. No. 15 was at 10 pairs. 
Banks and Jennings shooliog against Money and Beveridge, the 
two latter winning by a score of .30 to 25.

partment in his usual masterlv manner. The scores:

NEW UTRECHT GUN CLUB. 
Woodlawn, April 30. — The bi-monthly clay-bird shoot ai the New 
Utrecht Gun Club was held at Woodlawn to-day. With one ex- 
ception, that being the high wind, we could not ask for a more perfect 
day for target shooting. The club medal and the Troisdorf cup 
were very closely contested, P. E. George's shooting being of the 
gilt-edged order. He won both the club shoot and the powdei- 
cup. This makes his second win, and the way he is shooting now, 
it looks like a walkover for him. Live-bird shooting next week. 
Friends, come down and visit us!

BOILING SPRINGS GUN CLUB. 
Rutherford, N. J., April 27.— A stiff wind blew fi-om the left 
(|unrter toward the shooters, or what riflemen would call a 9 o'clock 
wind, it gradually uicrcased in strength, so that iri the last three 
or four events it tossed the targets up and down, and in puzzling 
sidewise curves, which required great skill to negotiate. The tar- 
gets were thrown very swiftly, making hard shooting, so that the 
best scores are exceptionally good under the circumstances. ^ 
In event No. 7, the traps were at the highest tension, throwing 
at sharp quai'tering angles, making the hardest kind of shooting. 
Nos. 1 and 2 were expert rules. In No. 4 Morfey won second in 
roiuid 2, miss-and-out In No. 6 Banks won first in round 11, miss- 
and-out. No. 8 was a match between Capt. Money and Morfey. 
Nos. 9 and 10 were at 20yds., use of both barrels. The wind in 
the latter events was blowing hard. Left-quartering birds would 
rise high in the air, slow up. rest a moment or two in the air, then 
descend before the strong wind at lightning speed. In the last 
events Banks broke one far out and high up to the left with a 
second shot from his Winchester, about two-thirds of the target 
remaining whole. The wind brought it around in a curve and it 
started from its great height with quickly accelerated velocity, 
passing back of the three shooters, who did not see it, missing 
Banks' head by a few feet. It struck a barrel and smashed into a 
thousand pieces with a loud noise. Banks, hearing the smaish, 
looked up, across, right and left, to see who was throwing rocks 
so viciously* 
The E. C, cup, 15 singles, expert tules, 5 pairs, handicap allow- 
ance, had scores as follows: 
Banks, 0 100111111111001 10 11 10 01 10—17—0—17

BERGEN COUNTY GUN CLUB. 
April 30.— The Bergen County Gun Club met for a live-bird shoot 
to-day, to afford a test of skill and a pleasant afternoon's sport 
to those who have a longing now and then for a harder trial than 
that afforded by targets. Owing to delay on the part of the express 
company in delivering the birds, it seemed at- one time as if it 
would be a feathcrless meeting, but about 4 o'clock the birds 
arrived. Sweepstake shooting had passed the time pleasantly by 
in the meantime. 
A stiff, high wind blew steadily across the traps at right angles 
from left to right, making most of the birds right-quarterers. They 
were a rare good lot. The moment the trap was sprung, they 
darted away instantly, the high wind giving them a greatly ac- 
celerated swiftness toward the boundary. 
Griffith's score suffered severely from the faulty performance of 
his gun. Both barrels went off together several times, not only 
spoiling the shot, but disturbing the shooter's confidence in his 
gun generally, 
James, having a train to catch, shot hurriedly, and withdrew at 
his 6th bird, the delay in the arrival of the birds having taken

Mr. B. Le Roy Woodard, Campbells, Mass., writes us as fol- 
lows: "I went down to Portland, Me., April 28 and won first 
average for the day. They had one of the best shoots I have 
been to for some time, and you can say that the Massachusetts 
boys missed a good time by not going. I broke 25 straight in 
the Oriental powder event, and made three clean scores of 10 
besides. I also made a clean score of 25 straight again here in 
Brockton, April- 30, in the watch charm event. What's the matter 
with the Remington and U. M. C. shells?"
