FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Sept. 24, 1898. 
Monumental Shooting Park. 
Baltimore, Md.— The Monumental Shooting Park was opened 
; to the public on Wednesday, Aua 24. There is neither mem- 
bership fee nor dues. Any one who is fond of shooting a gun 
can at any time have free access to these grounds, and has 
carte blanche to shoot to his heart's content; m other words, to 
the limit of his sbell case, paying one cent each for targets. The 
aim of the promoter of the grounds seems to be to encourage 
trap shooting among thfe amateurs. 
The park is very pleasantly and conveniently located on the 
water front, about fen minutes' ride from the center of the 
city, and embraces about two acres of ground, enclosed by a 
neat picket fence. The grounds are perfectly level, the grass 
is cut smooth* and the background is clear sky. unobstructed by 
either trees or buildings. Tile park presents the appearance of 
a well-kept lawn, there being neither screens nor board protec- 
tions to mar its symmetry. The traps and trappers arc entirely 
out of sight, and when the target takes its flight it seems to 
rise from the grass. Five traps are used, three throwing out- 
goers and two incomers. The score is arranged in an arc of a 
circle, located respectively at 12, 14 and 16yds. from the traps. 
Separate boxes are provided for each shooter at each distance. 
-A modification of the Sergeant system has been adopted in shoot- 
iing. The traps throwing outgoers are located in a trench 5ft. 
'deep by about 12ft. in length, completely housed in, and with a 
storage capacity for eight or ten thousand targets. The traps 
throwing incomers are located 60yds. from the score, one on the 
right and the other on the left quarter. Events are shot un- 
known traps, unknown angles. Just in the rear of the score is 
the puller's box, fenced in. To the left are the cashier s and 
scorer's office, surrounded bv a picket fence. In the rear of the 
score have been erected two large tents, with benches, tables, 
gunracks, ice water, etc., for the convenience of the partiei- 
^Tcf'the right of the score is a tall post, vividly striped in black 
and white, and crowned with a huge sign, "Kicking Tost. 
This is for the benefit and consolation of the oft-dissatisfied 
man who always has a "kick" coming to him. As soon as he 
opens, he is tenderly taken bv the arm, or any other convenient 
portion of his anatomy, and gently guided to the post, where 
he can have it out all by himself. On the opposite side of the 
score is another post, adorned by a bell, and over it a sign 
reading "Chestnut Bell." The ringing of this bell is generally 
followed by a trip to the kicking post, as the shooter "who 
got a piece which the referee did not sec" (the old chestnut) gen- 
erally winds up with a good strong kick, and to the post he goes, 
like "a lamb to the slaughter. (If you have ever attempted to 
slaughter a lamb, you will appreciate the analogy.) _ 
On the occasion of opening these grounds, a hundred-bird 
handicap race was inaugurated. A championship gold medal was 
the first prise, and $25 divided. 50, 30 and 20 per cent., served 
as a sort of balm to the wounded feelings of those who landed 
near the top, but failed to make the exact connection with the 
highest score. This medal is to be won three times to become 
the personal property of the holder. The winner of same sub- 
ject to challenge from any shooter living in Maryland or the 
District of Columbia, the handicaps first given to hold throughout 
the entire race for the medal. Handicaps were in distance and 
also in added birds. 
The opening day was a sizzler, the thermometer registering 
!98 in the shade, but in spite of the intense heat, at 3 o'clock, when 
(the main event was called, there were thirty-eight shooters 
entered to face the traps. Prior to the main event several 
sweepstake events were shot off, and at 3 o'clock the first squad 
in the big race faced the starter. 
The first three squads of five men each had shot through the 
last round of twentv-five targets when time was called. 
As the two final squads had been so severely handicapped by 
the darkness, the score was called back to the first squad in the 
final round of twenty-five targets, and Wednesday of the week 
following, the 31st, was set. as the day on which the race would be 
finished. On Wednesday afternoon, the 31st, a goodly crowd 
gathered to finish up the scores begun on the previous Wednes- 
day. Unfortunatelv a number of the out-ot-town shooters from 
Washington, Frederick and other points, who participated in the 
first day's shoot, did not make scores high enough to afford them 
any chance for first places, and so did not return to shoot off 
their final round. The 31st was another very hot day, very hard 
on the shooters, though a number finished with very creditable 
scores. E. D. Hobbs, of Liberty, Md., won the medal and first 
money with a score of 98 broken. He stood at 16yds. and had a 
handicap of four birds extra. ... 
The shoot was a gigantic success from beginning to end, and 
as a purely local shoot has never been equaled in this section of 
the country. 
The shoot worked like clockwork, without a hitch. Once in a 
while a drop or two of lubricant was needed, but as between 
four and five thousand targets were thrown irom three traps, only 
the outgoers being used, between the hours of half-past one and 
half-past seven, it will be seen that no time was lost on account 
of breakdowns. Stanley. 
Schmelzer Tournament. 
Kansas City, Mo.. Sept. 10.— The fifth annual tournament of 
the Schmelzer Arms Company was not near so successful as 
the previous ones given by this firm. It is more than likely that 
merchandise shoots have grown into disfavor and that in the 
future a tournament conducted on that line will never be a very 
pretentious affair. Heretofore the tournaments given by the 
promoters of this shoot never failed to draw less than a hundred 
participants; on this occasion scarcely half that number put m 
an appearance, and the majority of these were present only on 
the first day. It is quite probable that the postponement of the 
tournament affected the attendance somewhat. It was announced 
to begin Tuesday, but none of the programme events were shot 
until Wednesday. True, it rained quite hard Tuesday morning, 
but by 11 o'clock it was all over, and most of the events 
scheduled for that day could have been run off by night. The 
postponement caused some disappointment and dissatisfaction, be- 
cause Tuesday's events were carried over to Saturday, and this 
interfered with the arrangements of a number of out-of-town shoot- 
ers who expected to shoot through the programme and be back 
home Saturday morning. Then, too, the shoot dragged con- 
siderable, something that was unnecessary and should have been 
corrected, because the promoters have had four years of preyious 
experience, and should have readily handled the crowd that was 
in attendance without any delay or interruption. It was the 
intention of the management to throw all the targets at this shoot 
(with the exception of those it would take to decide the Schmelzer 
trophv event) from the new magazine trap, and the tournament 
was begun over this, though only the first and part of the second 
event was shot when the trap broke down, and it was not until 
the third day, Friday, that it was again in working order. 
After that time the events were all shot over this trap, which 
worked fairly well. In the meantime, however, some expert traps 
had to be substituted, and this delayed the shoot some time while 
they were being set up. These were arranged on the Sergeant 
system. . 
No. 2, the unfinished event of Wednesday, was not finished un- 
til Friday afternoon. What the tournament" seemed to lack was 
an efficient squad hustler or some person whose duty it was to 
see that the shooters were in their proper place and that the shoot 
kept moving. 
SHOOTING GROUNDS. 
The tournament was held at Washington Park, where all of 
the previous State tournaments have been held of late. Every- 
thing considered, they are very good grounds, being easy of ac- 
cess and having a fair background for target shooting; especially 
when the targets are thrown off the ridge where the target traps 
are usually located. 
However, the Schmelzer trophy event was shot on the live- 
bird ground, and here the background is very trying, especially 
on dark days such as the one proved to be when this event was 
run off. The grounds are always kept in readiness for all kinds 
of shooting, but the magautraps which are used here had been 
taken out to make room for the new magazine trap, and it ap- 
pears that the time necessary to make the change had been un- 
derestimated. For this reason the arrangements were not as 
complete as they should have been. 
CONDITIONS. 
The majority events were targets, and the winners of prizes 
in the respective events have been enumerated in the report of 
each day's results. But two shooters shot through the entire 
programme, Ed. Hickman, of Kansas City, and C. L. Funk, of 
Pueblo, Colo. 
The former scored 483 out of 570, which gave him an average of 
847, while the latter scored 473 out of a like number, and finished 
with an average of .829. The Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf R. R. 
donated three round-trip tickets to Port Arthur, Texas. Two of 
them to go to the amateurs who make the first and second best 
averages, and who participate in no less, than two-thirds of the tar- 
get events: These were won by the above pair. The other ticket 
was to go to the amateur who made the lowest average and 
participated in no less than two-thirds of the events. At present 
I am unable to state who won this. The above applies only 
to the target events. The programme called for three live-bird 
events. The most important of these was a 20-bird handicap, for 
amateurs only. Dave Elliott carried off the high honors and the 
silverware that went with them, though in order to accomplish 
this he had to kill sixty straight. 
This achievement is robbed of some of its merits because the 
event was decided on the installment plan. The event proper was 
shot on Wednesday, and an effort was made to decide the tie 
on the following day, but after Elliott, Hickman and Cockrell 
had each killed thirty straight, those still in the tie came to the 
conclusion that they were in too good a form, and the tie was 
carried over until Saturday, when it was shot off in the ten-bird 
sweep of that date, which resulted in Elliott again going straight, 
which made his total run from start to finish sixty straight. 
W. S. Allen won second prize in this event, and Curtice third. 
The two other events were ten birds, $5 entrance, and the money 
in these events was pretty much cut up. In addition to the above 
styles of shooting three glass-ball events were also on the pro- 
gramme. It was freely predicted that this antediluvian method 
of shooting would result in an endless amount of ties on straight 
scores, and it would be difficult to reach a decision in these 
events. 
The results, however, were entirely different, for not only were 
there no straight scores in these events, but taken collectively 
the scores were far inferior to those made in the target events. 
The best anyone could do was to break 14 out of 15, and this 
was only accomplished after the trap broke down so that it would 
not rotate, and the balls were thrown at fixed angles. In the 
first event 12 was high, and Essig shot out those who were in 
the tic with him. First prize was some live goldfish. Hickman 
and Erhardt shot out the seconds, and then decided their little 
dispute bv giving the second prize to Tom Hearn. Hodges won 
third, a minnow trap. In the second event Gottlieb scored 
13 and won first without a tie. Linderman disposed of the 
twelves and Hickman of the elevens. Three cameras were the 
prizes on this occasion. The final event resulted in Sweet shoot- 
ing out the fourteens, and the prize for this was a rifle. Howe 
did likewise with the thirteens and won a revolver. 
Fairman won a game carrier on 12 without a tie. 
Rifle shooting was another one of the attractions at this tourna- 
ment. The shooting was done at 25yds. with a .22cal. rifle. 
J. \V. Ackard, of Fairplay, Mo., won first prize on both the 
first and second days, on each occasion scoring 97 out of a pos- 
sible 100. The first day he won a Stevens and a second day a 
Colts rifle. C. D. Snyder won second, a revolver, on the second 
day on a score of 94." On the third day Dr. J. B. Hungate won 
out on a score of 93, the prize was a rifle. On the last day, Jno. 
J. Hallowell, of the TJ. M. C. Co., carried off the Winchester 
rifle on a score of 93.

The Equitable System. 
New Yokk, Sept. 16.— Editor Forest and Stream: In your issue 
of the 3d inst. I read with pleasure as usual Mr. Hough's report 
of the Minneapolis tournament, held Aug. 24-25. In that > report 
he touched fullv upon the "so-called 'equitable system," " ex- 
plaining its workings so that everybody could understand it. 
Personally I have always been a believer in and a boomer of 
the Rose system, and still think it is the only fair and equitable 
method of dividing purses, no matter what others may think. 
I'm stubborn, I know; but I do believe, when you are shooting 
for money and not" for sport, that the man who shoots the best 
should receive the greatest return for his entrance fee. 
Under class shooting, with the old percentage system of dividing 
purses, it was and is perfectly possible for a man to break 20 
straight and yet receive less money than another fellow who has 
only broken 18, or may be only 17. 
Under the Rose system, with either the original ratios as formu- 
lated by Mr. A. R. Rose, viz., four moneys, 5, 3, 2, and 1, or with 
the ratios used at Haverhill's interstate the other day of 4, 3, 2 
and 1, the high man is bound to get appreciably more for his 
score than the man in the class next below him. 
But under "the equitable system" the man who breaks 20 or 
15 straight receives only a fractional portion of the purse more 
than the man who broke only 19, while the difference is still very 
slight between what is paid to the straight scores and to those 
in the class three removes from them. See Mr. Hough's own 
example, as quoted from his report: "The man who breaks 15 
gets $3.60, the man who breaks 14 gets $3.36, the man who breaks 
13 gets $3.12 and the man who breaks 12 gets $2.88." Analyzing 
these figures, a supposititious case it is true, but yet a possible 
one, we find that the man who broke 15 straight only received 72 
cents more than the man who broke 12, losing three targets. 
Wow take the case and apply the Rose system, with ratio points 
of 5, 3, 2 and 1. Three straights give 15 points; ten 14s give 30 
points;' fifteen 13s give 30 points, and ten 12s give 10 points, 
or a grand total of 85 points. Divide the purse— $120— by 85, and 
we have $1.4] as the value of each point; or the 15s drawn down 
$7.05 each; the 14s $4.23, the 13s ,$2.S2, and the 12s $1.41. If the 
ratio points were reduced to 4, 3, 2 and 1, we should have the 
following figures: 15s, $5.84; 14s, $4.38; 13s, $2.92, and 12s, $1.46. 
For my part I like the Rose system, with the ratio points as 
last mentioned, 4, 3, 2 and 1. 
Comparing the three sets of figures given above, it would seem 
as if there was really no comparison between the "equitable sys- 
tem" and the Rose system so far as "equity" is concerned. 
Any shooter knows how far easier it is to make an "all-but-one" 
than a straight score. Take a shooter who is running straight, 
the strain on him, even if he is an old campaigner, is quite 
severe toward the finish of his string; but let him lose a target, the 
strain is relaxed at once, and it is a comparatively easy matter 
to finish the string without another miss. The man who breaks 
a straight ought to receive a larger share of the purse in pro- 
portion to his score over the 14 man than the 14 man ought 
to receive over the man who has broken 13. There is actually 
far greater merit in a 15 as compared with a 14 than as against a 
14 compared with a 13, and so on. The "equitable system" 
does not recognize the difference; the Rose system does. 
Talking about the strain that a man experiences when making 
a straight brings to my mind a fact that E. D. Fulford called my 
attention to a few years ago. He asserted that a man's pulse after 
he had made a straight score and immediately upon his leaving 
the score beats far and away above the normal. We lay around, 
Fulford, self and others, waiting for an opportunity to test the 
truth of the assertion. We had not long to wait, and then Fulford's 
statement was proved to be true. Since then I have often noticed 
the same thing, even in my own case; and I think I owe to 
Fulford several targets that have got away from me at critical times, 
simply owing to my thinking about this matter and trying to count 
my pulse-beats! The experiment is a simple one, and I do not 
believe that anybody will find an exception to the rule. 
If then a man's pulse gets away up when he's breaking a straight 
isn't he undergoing a strain far above normal? And doesn't he 
deserve more than the man who is not under any strain, or who 
is "at best only under a very slight one? 
There is one other point that I should also like to touch upon, 
and that is the mistaken idea that the "equitable system" and the 
Rose system are not class shooting. Mr. Hough apparently over- 
looks this fact, for he says: "* * * they still clung to the old 
ways, and more especially did the experts, who liked the class 
shooting idea." The last sentence should read more aptly, "who 
liked the old percentage system of 50. 30 and 20, or 40, 30, 20 and 
10." -„ . ■•* ' •> ,1 ' i, . 
As a finishing touch to this letter, let me remark that the 
learned Cadi is giving the boys something to think about, and 
the way he squelched Moke l» st week— Moke, by the way, who 
"onlv v'^ots for sport"— wtts truly delicious. Long live the Cadi!

Reading, Pa., Sept. 17.— The members of the South End Gun 
Club held a target shoot on its grounds to-day. Bluerock targets 
were used. Some very good scores were made. A large crowd 
witnessed the different events. The club is making arrangements 
to hold a large shooting tournament in about a month or two, 
which will be open to all amateur shooters throughout the State. 
At the next meeting of the club the committee will decide date, 
management and other business connected with the shoot, and 
as to the special prizes which are to be awarded. The scores of 
to-day's events follow:

West Chester, Pa., Sept. 15.— This afternoon in the midst of a 
rain and heavy wind storm the West Chester Gun Club defeated 
the Phoenix Gun Club, of Phoenixville ; in the second of a 
series of three matches between these two clubs. Phoenix won the 
first, and the third or deciding match, which will be shot on neu- 
tral grounds, should prove interesting, as these two clubs are 
pretty evenly matched. Following the interclub match a number 
of interesting sweeps were shot, in which better work was done, 
owing to the storm having passed over. The scores of the team 
shoot follow, each man shooting 25 targets: 
West Chester Gun Club— Henry 15, Gill 15, Hoar 15, Lumis 16, 
Beebe 18, Davis 16, Ford 17, Foulke 17—129. 
Phoenix Gun Club— Trumbauer 16, Erb 11, Dotterer 18, Harris

Phoenixville, Pa., Sept. 14— There was some fine shooting' at the 
Phoenix Gun Club's grounds to-day. A live-bird match between 
J. Buckwalter and Winfield Buckwalter on one team and Trum- 
bauer and Holmes on another was very interesting, and at- 
tracted a number of sportsmen to the grounds. Each man shot at 
10 live pigeons, the match being won by the Buckwalter team 
by the score of 12 to 11. Besides the live-bird match there was 
a club shoot at 25 targets per man over the magautrap. The score 
of the live-bird match follows: Winfield Buckwalter 8, John 
Buckwalter 4 — 12. Trumbauer 7. Holmes 4 — 11. 
The score of the club shoot follows: Erb 21, E. J. Dunlap 22, 
J. Buckwalter IS, Hodge 17. Dotterer 16, Smith 10, E. L. Buckwal- 
ter 9, Phlert 8, Perot 6, Williams 6, Hallman 5, Miller 4. 
Chester, Pa., Sept. 14.— One of the greatest shooting matches at 
live birds that has taken place in a number of years was that 
of the Evans Gun Club to-day at the Delaware County Fair. The 
contest was for a purse of $100, which the club guaranteed as 
first money, all ties to be shot at the same place on Sept. 22. In 
all, there were fifteen ties for first. Each man shot at 5 live 
birds, 21yds. rise. The score: Horace Jackson 3, 1, 0, 2, 5; John 
Williams 0, 4; John Learv 3, 0. 3, 1; George J. Hunter 3. 5; J. 
Copple, 1. 5, 1; Wm. Dunbar 0, 0, 0, 0; Parker Jackson 1, 1, 5;

The above match was a miss-and-out, with the right to re-enter 
as often as one cared to, entrance fee $3. 
Pottstown, Pa., Sept. 17. — The members of the Shuler Shooting

Lebanon, Pa., Sept. 16.— A very large audience to-day saw 
Lebanon and Chambersburg break even in the second of the 
series ofi three intercity bluerock and live-bird matches. The 
Keystone Gun Club, of Lebanon, won the target match at 25 
bluerocks per man, teams composed of twelve men per team. The 
score of the target match follows:
