Louisville Revolver Club. 
LoulsviLi-E, Ky. — On Tuesday evening. May 2, at the 
Armor>% three members of the revolver club stood on the firing- 
points and shot at the targets. The attendance was very large 
and the crowd enjoyed the contests. The contest was close be- 
tween Messrs. Dye and Gilbert in the 10 and 15yds. distances. 
Another member of the club and an excellent shot, Capt. Fred 
De Funiac, of Battery A, 1st Regiment, will be missed when he 
leaves this week for the seat of war. At the next meeting a team 
of six men, which is to shoot against a similar team of the Brook- 
lyn Club, for a challenge cup, offered by the Peters Cartridge Co., 
of Cincinnati, on the 24tli of this month, will be selected from 
among the best shots left in the club, as the war has taken several 
of our crack local shots. Enough remain to give a good account 
of themselves against the crack club of the East in the coming 
match.

Under date of May 6, Mr. Louis W. Schortemeier, of New York,, 
writes us as follows: "On Decoration Day, Monday, May- 30, 
a 20 or 25-live-bird handicap will be shot on the grounds of the 
East Side Gun Club, of Newark, N. J. The Plank Road, Newark 
& New York Trolley Line stopping at Foundry and Ferry 
streets, Newark, is the way to get there. The grounds are about 
half a dozen blocks from the Plank road. Entrance $10, birds 
extra, four moneys. Rose system, 8, 5, 3 and 2 points, four misses 
out, with privilege of re-entering in case a chance can be had for 
the money. Handicaps to be made by the East Side Gun Club. 
Those who do not care for the Rose system of division will please 
stay away, as the club always shoots the Rose system in both 
live-bird and target events. The shoot begins at 10 A. M. ; entries 
allowed in to the end of the second round. Birds 50 cents per 
pair. The last open live-bird contest, a 15-bird race, was held 
on March 2, this year, in which twenty-five men participated, all 
standing at 28yds. These men, if attending, will be handicapped 
as follows: W. F. Quimby and Dr. Hudson at 29yds. These two 
were winners of first money in the event on March 2. The winners 
of second money, Messrs. Geoffrey and Hassenger, will shoot at 
2Si^yds.; Sam Castle, Perry, Often, Piercey, Schrafft, W. S. Canon, 
Sinnock, Lueddeke, Steffens, Baar, Astfalk, Harrison, Schorte- 
meier, , Henry K., Bender, Fischer and Leuthauser will shoot at 
28yds. The latter six were shot out in the last contest. Feigen- 
span at 2Syds. ; Reibold, Hilfers, Perment, Weigert and Wagner 
at 27yds.; F. Van Dyke at 30yds., and Jack Brewer at 32yds.: A. 
Woodruff at 30yds." 
The Worcester Gun Otibr, of Worcester, Mass., offers a most 
valuable list of prizes to its members to be competed for this 
season. The summer series will have four distinct events each 
week, handicaps, open to all members. The first is the Worces- 
ter county championship, the competition for which began last 
Saturday and ends Aug. 27. The prize is a handsome gold badge, 
made especially for the Worcester Gun Club, and will be the ab- 
solute property of the person winning it the most times. The 
targets will be five pairs, from the magautrap. There is no handi- 
cap and no entrance fee. There is a merchandise series. May 7 
to July 11. There are two events of which guns are the prizes, 
one of which is a $100 grade hammerless Parker, to be made to 
the order of the winner, to be competed for each week till Sept. 1. 
In this event each person shoots at the whole number of targets, 
and to the number wliich he breaks will be added such a per- 
centage of the number shot at as will bting his rating up to 100 
per cent. The SO per cent, men will have 20 per cent, added to 
their scores, the 70 per cent, men 30 per cent., the 60 per cent, 
men 40 per cent., and so on. No ties will be shot off, but eacli 
high score will count a point toward winning at the end. The 
entrance fee each week is 25 cents. No handicap will be changed 
for any shooter after he has begun the series. Before he begins 
he may, if he is dissatisfied, protest and choose one member from 
the club, the officers will choose another, and these three shall 
choose a third, the three thus fleeted to determine his rating. 
Messrs. W. F. Parker and J. R. Hull, representatives of the 
Parker Bros., gathered to themselves at Newburgh last week the 
two high general averages, the former breaking 274 out of SOO 
targets shot at, a .913 per cent, gait, the latter breaking 265 out of 
300, .883 per cent, gait, both well up to the highest class of per- 
formance. Mr. Parker left on the evening of the second day. 
Mr. Hull remained over and participated in the live-bird shoot- 
ing. Considering that it was his first effort at the traps, he made a 
most commendable competition, missing only three of the 25 
birds he shot at, and losing 5 more dead out of bounds, thus 
scoring 17 out of his 25. He hit his birds very accurately, but 
allowed them several times to get well awing, thereby giving 
them a great advantage and making hard shooting for himself, 
liowever, a little practice will correct slowness, and no doubt 
he will be scoring up in the 90s on pigeons with the same cer- 
tainty -with which he now breaks tiyrgets. 
Four clubs participated in the race of the Intercollegiate Shoot- 
ing Association at New Haven, May 7, on the grounds of the 
New Haven Gun Club. Harvard won by a score of 131 out of a 
possible 150. Paul, of Peniisylvania, broke 28 out of 30, thereby 
winning the cup offered for the best individual score. Cornell 
was not represented in the contest. The scores were as follows, 
each shooting, at 30 targets: Harvard— Campbell 27, Bancroft 26, 
Wallingcrodt 26, Blake 27, Dana 27; total 131. Yale— Loomis 25, 
Knowlton 24, Bennett 22, Van Name 20, Spears 17; total 108. 
Princeton— Young 23, Laughlin 23, James 20, Chidester 20, Find- 
lay 12; total 98. Pennsylvania— Paul 28, Steel 20, Singer 20 
Nielsen 18, Kistler 10; total 96. 
Mr. John L. Chartrand, secretary H. R. G. C, writes us that 
on Thursday of this week a^match between H. M. Hefiich and G. 
Asbach, of the North Hudson Gun Club, on the one side, and J. H. 
Outwater and Capt. Frank Jack, of the Hackensack River Gun 
Club, on the other, at 10 birds, 30yds. rise, will take place, and that 
the match is for $50 a side, A. S. A. rules to govern. Mr. Hefiich,^ 
in his communication, under the head of North Hudson Rod and 
Gun Club, informs us that the match is for $25 a side, so that it 
would appear to be the correct procedure to settle which is correct 
before the match is shot. Also, same conditions, L. F. Kleber 
and H. W. Kramer shoot against John L. Chartrand and Wm. 
Hexamer. 
In his correspondence this week Mr. Paul R. Litzke mentions 
some excellent shooting at Memphis for the club medal, Messrs. 
J. P. Edrington and S. P. Walker tieing on 25 straight kills 
each, Edrington winning in the shoot-off, this being his second 
win. A. H. Frank also has two wins, and a third win makes 
the medal personal property. Edrington shot at 62 during the 
day and killed all, some at 35yds. 
Mr. Charles Macalester, of Baltimore, has been adding to his 
great fame as an c.\:pert wing shot by his performance at the 
spring shoot of the Philadelphia Gun Club at Eddington, Pa., 
April 19 and 20. The deadliness of his single barrel kills was 
specially noticeable. In the 25-bird event of the first day, stand- 
ing at 30yds., he killed straight, using one barrel eleven times. 
Shooting in the different events, he made a run of 55 kiEs on 
the first day. In the sweepstakes his general performance was 
69 killed out of 71 shot at. On the second day he killed 68 out 
of 74. He used 52grs. of Schultze in ti-ap shells. 
Mr. Ed Taylor, inspector of Laflin & Rand Powder Co., is not 
a faniiliar figure at the traps since our earnest debate began with 
Spain. His company is starting all its works to their full ca- 
pacity, and Mr. Taylor's time is fully occupied in consequence. 
At present the works at Newburgh are engaging his attention. 
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. C. B. Walker, whose specialty 
is the making of powders, and who is one of the company's ex- 
perts. The intricate problems of pressures, velocities and powder 
compositions were as A, B, C to him, though so difficult to 
others. 
On May 7 the Penn Gun Club, of Norristown, Pa., afTd the 
Shuler Shooting Club, of Pottstown, Pa., shot a team race at 
25 targets, 12 men on a side. The Penn Club won by a score of 
184 to 156. The men and scores were as follows: Penn Club — 
Yost 17, Cassel 15, Penn 19, Hagenbotham 20, Dotterer 12, Frank- 
lin 11, Gleason 17, Homan 12, Derr 12, Gross 12, Ritter 15, Smith 
20. Shuler Club— Saylor 18, Davis 15, Wickersham 21, Slonaker 
12, Seidel 13, Grubb 18, Dewitt 9, Williams 9, Showaltei' 13, Cole 
10, Urner 11, Trego 5. ' 
Mr. Gus Greiff, manager of the Troisdorf Powder Co., starts 
on a long Western trip this week in the interests of his company. 
He will take a swing through the Northwest, stopping short 
of the Pacific coast, thence returning through the Southwest and 
South. M. Greift' has been out of shooting form of late, some- 
thing which is peculiar more or less to nearly all shooters, but it 
is only a matter of time till good form returns. When, in .g,Qod 
form he rates well up with the best. 
Mr. E. D. Fulford, of Utica, the well-known expert of the 
Remington Co., gives valuable advice on the cure of flinching. 
He says: "In answer to your note in Forest and Stream on 
flinching, will say I have given the matter a great deal of 
study. Flinching has ruined many a good score when I pointed 
right. I find a long, soft drag pull of %in. is the best thing I 
have tried. I never flinch now, for the reason it warns me, and 
I can let my gun off to a fractional part of an inch when I want 
it." 
Mr. T. S. Dando, of the Riverton Gun Club, captured tlie 
Philadelphia Gun Club's annual championship, the conditions be- 
ing 50 live birds, $.50 entrance, 30yds. rise, the competition being 
open to members of the Carteret, Larchmont, Westminster, Tux- 
edo, Country Club of Westchester, Riverton and Philadelphia gun 
clubs. He wort by the excellent score of 48 out of 50, using 48grs. 
of Schultze in trap and Leader shells. Dolan and Welch were 
second with 47 each, Macalester third with 46. 
Mr. A. C. Paterson still retains possession of the Chicago chal- 
lenge trophy, he defeating Cunnyngham by a score of 21 to 12 at 
Watson's Park, Chicago, on May 6, in a contest for it. Thev 
had tied on a score of 20 to 20 on April 29. If Patti continues 
as he began, the challengers for this trophy have a long road 
ahead. Mr. Cunnyngham fell far below his class capabilities. In 
a practice shoot on May 4 he killed 18 out of 25. 
We regret that J. J. Hallowell, of the U. M. C. Co., has been 
suffering from a severe attack of fever and chills, which set in 
before the Peru tournament. In Western I'raps Mr. Paterson 
mentions that Mr. Hallowell has been laid up in Chicago for 
several days from the effects of the malarial trouble. It is hard 
to down a good man, however, and U. M. C. Hallowell will 
smash the chills in a long race as he smashes targets when in good 
form. 
In the return match between the Rivertori Gun Club, of Phila* 
delphia. and the Plerron Hill Gun Club, of Pittsb-urg, shot at 
Davis Island, Pittsburg, last Saturday, the Riverton Club won 
by 12 birds, four more than the number they won by in their 
match two weeks previous. The Pittsburg Club banqueted the 
victors. 
An adjourned meeting of the newly formed San Joaquin Valley 
Gun Club Association will be held on May 15, to complete the 
matter of organization, A number of delegates met in Fresno, 
Cali, after the Fresno Gun Club's annual tournament, and Mr. 
A. T. Hyde, of Merced, was elected president, and E. Downing, 
of Visalia, was elected Secretary and Treasurer. 
John Wright, manager of the Brooklyn Gun Club, announces 
that the cup shoot of the club will take place Saturday of this 
week, with other events. After the regular events are finished 
there will be some sweepstakes in events at one-cent targets, 
or one can shoot for targets only, as he pleases. 
The Lyndhurst Shooting Association, Lyndhurst, N. J., will 
hold a live-bird handicap on. Tuesday, May 17, commencing at 1 
o'clock. Entrance $10, birds extra. Grounds can be reached in 
thirty minutes from New York by the Erie Railroad to Rutherford, 
N. J., or D., L. & W. to Lyndhurst. 
The return match between the Bound Brook Gun Club and the 
Dunellen Gun Club will be shot at Dunellen, N. J., on May 21, at 
2:30 P. M. In their match at Bound Brook last Saturday the 
latter club won by a score of 114 to 139. 
The first annual tournament of the Overland Association, open 
to all, class shooting, will be held at Denver, Colo., on July 5, 6 
and 7. There will be added money. John W. Kane, Manager, 
1457 Arapahoe street," Denver, Colo. 
Mr. W. T. Hambright, of Lancaster, Pa., writes us that the 
leading sportsmen of that city and its county contemplate a 
grand prize shoot to be held in the second week of May; that is, 
this week. 
Mr. Plarvey McMurchy, the popular representative of the Hun- 
ter Arms Co., is smashing targets with his habitual ease between 
times on the Pacific coast.» 
M. R. Merrill, of Milwaukee, in a practice shoot at Watson's 
Park on May 4, killed 94- birds out of 100, a regular high-grade 
expert gait. ' 
A very close match was that between Elliott and Heikes for 
the Star cup— Elliott 94, Heikes 93.
