FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Oct. i, 1898.; 
Mount Kisco Handicap. 
Mount Kisco, N. Y., Sept. 22.— The two events constituting 
the programme of the Mount Kisco Handicap were a most pleas- 
ing success in every respect. The number of contestants was 
all that could be expected by the most sanguine; the weather 
was pleasant and the birds were an exceptionally good lot for 
this season of the year. Had there been a wind of any con- 
sequence they would have been a hard lot, the season of the 
year considered. The shoot was conducted without a flaw from 
Start to finish. The members strove to make the event pleasant 
in every wholesome way, and they succeeded admirably. 
Much credit is due to Mr. G. E. Sutton, of Mount Kisco, who 
worked indefatigably to engage interest in the handicap and 
make it a success. , 
Mr D. Gray filled the exacting office of referee with satisfac- 
tion to all. He was alert, prompt and perfectly impartial. Messrs. 
Otis Arnold and Frank Fowler? considering the number of shoot- 
ers present whose records were unknown, handicapped the con- 
testants very nicely. Mr. A. Betti acted as trap-puller in the 
programme events with satisfaction to all. 
There were two events on the regular programme, one at / 
birds, $5, the other at 10 birds, $10, handicap 25 to 32yds., class 
shooting; over twelve entries, four moneys. An extra event, same 
conditions as No. 1, was shot alter the programme was finished, atter 
which the shooting changed to miss-and-out. 
A few practice birds were shot before the regular contests 
began and from the clean manner in which the birds were killed 
it was evident that the race would be a hot one.. In the first 
event, at 7 birds, onlv one man was out of the money. _ 
Dr Gardiner's gun had a very sensitive trigger on the right 
barrel, which he was not quite accustomed to; m consequence 
of which the gun was discharged several times before he was 
readv, with a corresponding loss in the score. J. Thompson shot 
remarkably well, as did also Gorham Vonderbosck, Sutton, 
Nelson, Dutcher and Brady, the latter doing very pretty work 
at 25vds. with a field gun. , , 
There was a verv gentle 4 o'clock breeze at intervals up to 
the third event, but so gentle that it m no wise affected the 
flight of the birds. The weather was exceedingly warm through- 
out- the middav hours. When the third event began a 2 p clock 
breeze sprang 'up, which put more vim in the flights and more 
ciphers in the scores. The scores in No. 1 event record only 
the kills and flights, not the barrels used.

Connecticut State League. 
Meriden, Conn., Sept. 22.— About thirty-five shooters were pres- 
ent at the fifth tournament of the Connecticut State League, on 
the grounds of the Parker Gun Club, at Menden, Conn., Sept. II. 
Shooting commenced at 9:30. 
The Parker Gun Club provided a sheep roast for its guests, 
under the skillful care of Mr. Bailey, of Bristol, whose fame as a 
chef in this special field of the culinary art towers above that 
of all other chefs. The hot dinner was disposed of in a manner 
which demonstrated that all were scratch men on a baked sheep 
and the palatable food which accompanied it. 
Mr L. J. Gaines acted as referee. Messrs. C. S. Howard and 
Francis Stevenson were cashiers. Mr. Marshall Butler was scorer. 
There were thirteen events, including the team race, as follows:

ST. LOUIS DOINGS. 
Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 22.— On Sept. 18 there was quite a live- 
bird event pulled off at Brooks, 111., a small station on the Clover 
Leaf Railroad, in which many St. Louis shooters participated. In 
fact all the sheckels, glory and honor were scooped m by the 
Mound City contingent. That clever and consistent young 
shooter, Ed Pendergast, by virtue of his 25 straight got most of 
the glory as well as 40 per cent, of the purse. P. M. Kling, the 
old and tried St, Louis shooter, and Fred Fink, another youngster 
also from the same city, divided second on the capital score of 24. 
Kling, through overconfidence, lost his last bird. Sumptcr, 
Hirschey and Aultman divided third, each scoring 23. A like 
number divided fourth money on a bird less. Beggerman, Stroh 
and McFadden got in on this division. Nine out of twenty-two 
entries got a part of the purse. 
The conditions of the race were 25 live birds, entrance $5, four 
moneys, 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. American Shooting Association 
rules governed. The weather was perfect, and the birds were an 
average lot.

CHANGE OF DATES. 
Owing to the dates selected for the St. Louis tournament con- 
flicting with those set for the Dayton, O., shoot, and as the 
announcement of these appeared first, Manager Corray, of Dupont 
Park, St. Louis, advises me that he has decided to change his 
date to the week following the Belle Meade tournament, and his 
shoot will therefore be held Oct. 25, 26 and 27, with good added 
money as the chief inducement. 
Kansas City, Sept. 16. — There was a good attendance at the regu- 
lar shoot of the Washington Park Gun Club, and an interesting 
contest resulted. The contest is at 15 live birds, 30yds. rise, 
otherwise American Shooting Association rules. Six of the con- 
testants—Dave Elliott, Walter Bruns, N. Jarrett, W. S. Allen, 
Lill Scott and Chas. Wright — tied on straight scores. In the 
shoot-off, miss-and-out, Walter Bruns won by killing 6 straight. 
The scores made are as follows: Scott 15, D. Elliott 15, Allen 15, 
N. Jarrett 15, Howe 14, Kelley 13, Laidlaw 13, Dickinson 11, Greg- 
ory 11, Fairman 10, W. Bruns 15, Wright 15, Broch 14, Dr. Planck

Trap at Chambersburg. 
Chambersburg, Pa., Sept. 19. — The Chambersburg and Lebanon 
gun clubs met at the latter place Friday, Sept. 16, for the second 
of a series of three shoots, the final shoot to take place at Harris- 
burg, Sept. 28. In last Friday's contest the Chambersburg marks- 
men excelled at every point, making some pretty and difficult shots 
in the live-bird event. The Lebanonites had strengthened their 
team somewhat, importing Fin Cooper, who led in their target 
and live-bird scores. 
The live-bird event resulted as follows:

In the ten-men bluerock match, 25 targets, the Chambersburgers 
were beaten by only one target, which result was due to their 
shooting for the first time over a magautrap, with a large cornfield 
as a foreground, and two questionable decision of a Lebanon 
referee. 
As will be seen, the scores in the live-bird event are very credit- 
able. The Chambersburg shooters went to Lebanon in a special 
car, and were accompanied by half a dozen other members of the 
club. 
The Chambersburg Club last week brought suit against Joseph 
Poper, of Antrim Township, Franklin county, for illegal fishing. 
Justice Haulman imposed a fine of $100 and costs of $20 on Poper. 
Auburn Gun Club. 
Auburn, Me., Sept. 18.— The Auburn Gun Club is still alive - 
and doing business at the same old stand. We have been having 
good attendance at the weekly practice and badge shoots, and the 
boys have all put up good scores. The club sent two five-men 
teams to the State shoot at Waterville, Aug. 30-34, and the first 
team, composed of Hunnewell, Norton, Conner, Cobb and Berry, 
landed the championship, breaking 219 out of 2oJ; Waterville second 
with 218. It was a hot race all the way through. This brings the 
State shoot to Auburn next year, and we shall try and give the 
boys a good tournament. The Auburn Gun Club team will go to 
Portland, Sept. 24, to shoot the Portland team for the Lowell 
diamond challenge badge. 
A hot race was shot at the club grounds Saturday afternoon for 
the tin cup. Francis and While shot against Fletcher and Ashley. 
Conditions, 30 birds, 10 regular, 10 unknown, 10 reversed. Fletcher 
and Ashley won by 2 birds, and are waiting for another challenge, 
this being the second time they have won it. Following is the 
score for the afternoon shooting. Collins won the badge on 24 out 
of 25. . , si

Pike County.— In the Game Laws in Brief I find no mentic 
of Pike county Pa., which heretofore has had special provisions, ; 
in the case of Long Island. I judged in consequence that tl 
State laws were enforced these, but learn that they are and ha\, 
been shooting grouse since Sept. 15, and offering them for sal' 
which is wrong according to the laws of Pennsylvania, accor. 
ing to the Brief. My Brief is dated Sept. 1, i898. Will yc 
kindly set me right in this matter? Ans. The Pennsylvania gan 
act of 1897 repealed all acts inconsistent with its own provision 
and among them the special Pike county law of 1878. If grous 
have been shot there prior to Oct. 15 the law has been violate 
just as it has been by the sale of the game.

The Milam Reel Gold Medal. 
The gold medal of the World's Fishery Exposition at Berge 
Norway, has just been awarded to Messrs. B. C. Milam & Cc 
of Frankfort, Ky,, for their Milan reel; and the honor was w< 
deserved as a recognition of an American product which has w< 
fame the world over. The reel has an interesting history, for 
was invented in 1839 by Mr. B. C. Milan, who is still, after tl, 
lapse of sixty years, the head of the firm, and doing business 
the same old stand. 
"The perfection of the gearing is the secret of the ease wi 
which the Milam reels run. When they were first made, back 
the 30s, there were no gear-cutting engines in this country, ar 
at great cost these tools were brought from Switzerland, ve. 
good gearing was made with them, but Mr. Milam," says tl 
Frankfort Call, "has improved _ their methods, and made speci 
cutters, and attached other devices of his own invention, till no 
it is not possible to buy a tool to make such gearing as is used I 
these reels. There is absolutely no friction, the teeth actually n 
one into another, and enough weight to break a tooth cannot ~M 
put on the spool. The steel from which the pinions are ma. j 
is manufactured specially for this purpose in England, and 
of wonderful strength and temper. The proof that this gearii 
is all that is claimed for it is the fact that the reels made fifty-nil 
years ago are in use to-day, and the gearing is in perfect ordi, 
Bevel gearing is not the best for use in a reel, but answers vei 
well where smooth running cannot be secured with a parallel, I 
"Always looking to improvement, the Milams were the first 
put jewels in fishing reels. Some years since, when bicycles ai 
ball" bearings came to the front, they received inquiry about pi 
ting ball bearings in their reels. This not being practical) 
because the pivots are too small, they introduced jewels. The 
jewels, like the pinion steel, and in fact all the other raateri) 
they have made specially for them. The hole jewel is as ha 
as diamond and extends the full length of the hole, so that t 
bearing is all the way upon the hard and polished surface of tl 
jewel. Break? The suggestion has never been heard; it is l) 
in the range of possibility for the jewel to be injured in any wa' 
they are so set they are securely protected, and will last as lo 
as time."
