FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Oct. is, 1898. 
Mr. Ed Taylor, of the Laflin & Rand Powder Co., was in attend- 
ance at the Wopsononock tournament, and on the first day- 
smashed 115 out of 130 targets, practically a 90 per cent. gait. 
On the second day he missed only 13 out of 155, a .916 per cent, 
gait. We presume Mr. Taylor was using the new smokeless 
powder, recently put on the market by his company, the Laflin 
& Rand Powder Co. 
At the Iowa State shoot the L. C. Smith cup was won by W. 
R. Milner, of Des Moines, on a score of 19 out ot 20, Grimm, Budd 
and Gilbert standing at 20yds. There were three cups, one each 
for the 70, 80 and 90 classes. No one qualified for the 90 per 
cent. cup. Mrs. Murrav, of Stillwater, Minn., captured the handi- 
cap cup with a score of 24 out of 25. 
Mr. A. C. Paterson, in "Western Traps," refers to Admiral A. 
G. Courtney as Col. Courtney, and that he shot at a 90 per cent, 
gait at Chicago recently. lie shoots that way as an admiral, not 
as a colonel. He was promoted for gallant service during the 
late war, on the theory that the man behind the gun has something 
to do with the good shooting of it. 
In conversation with Mr. Ed Taylor, ballistic expert of the 
Laflin & Rand Powder Co., we learn that the new smokeless 
powder of that company is a most gratifying success in every par- 
ticular. It burns almost free from residue, has hardly any per- 
ceptible recoil, and gives a very high velocity with a minimum of 
pressure. 
The Brooklyn Gun Club will give a series of prize shoots twice 
monthly, the first one to take place on Saturday of this week. 
Two good prizes, at least, will be given at each shoot. Tf time 
permits, after the programme events are finished, 1-cent target 
events will be shot. For further particulars address John Wright, 
care Von Lengerke & Detmold, 318 Broadway. 
A gentleman who will be missed much from the trap-shoots in 
the East journeyed westward to his home in St. Louis recently. 
His uniform affability, and even tranquility, whether he won or 
lost, were but a part of his many good qualities, as a companion 
and sportsman. His nom de fusil is Chase. 
Messrs, C. P. Hotaling and Frank Carlough, of Tuxedo, N> Y., 
were participants in the tournament of the West Newburgh Gun 
and Rifle Association at Newburgh last week. They enjoyed 
the competition, and being of the right sort, made many friends. 
Considering that it was their first participation in open competi- 
tion, they made a very good showing. 
In "Western Traps" this week will be found a mention of several 
shoots which are to take place in the West in the near future. 
Guns are _ not stored permanently in any section, even if there 
is a pessimistic opinion here and there that shooting is going 
to the bow-wows or vice versa. 
Jack Fanning's neat little performance on the second day of the 
Altoona tournament last week, 152 out of 155 targets, is not a 
matter to be passed over lightly. Incidentally he killed 15 
birds straight in the live-bird event, and then killed, as will be 
seen by the report of the Wopsononock tournament, some 
40 more straight. 
The contest for the Chicago challenge trophy, between the 
holder, Mr. Silas Palmer, and Dr. Shaw, is fixed for Oct. 18.

No. 7 was the club shoot. 
New Utrecht against Endeavors. 
The first of a series of matches between tfie New Utrecht Gun 
Club, of Woodlawn, and the Endeavor Gun Club, of Marion, was 
shot on the grounds of the former on Oct. 8. The contest was a 
reasonably close one, the New Utrechts winning out, however, 
by the handsome margin of 12 targets in the lead. 
The New Utrecht members entertained the visitors with pleasing- 
hospitality, and administered the defeat so graciously that it 
was a pleasure. The return match is to be shot on a date not 
yet fixed upon. 
The feature of the shooting was the performance of Capt. 
Money, who seemed to shoot better as the light grew darker and 
more misty. He smashed 72 out of his last 75 so easily that he did 
not seem to be trying. 
There was a heavy downpour in the forenoon, which ceased soon 
after midday, but a heavy, dark sky and an atmosphere far from 
clear made very hard shooting. 
The team shoot, 50 targets per man, entrance free, targets free, 
honors to the winners. Scores as follows:

Iowa State Tournament. 
Des Moines, la., Oct. 6. — The twenty-first annual tournament 
of the Iowa State Sportsmen's Association closed to-day and 
was a success in every particular. The weather was fine, but a stiff 
breeze made the target shooting quite difficult, which will ac- 
count for low averages. The targets were thrown from two sets 
of expert traps, Sergeant system, and the average flight was 
about 60yds. and 8ft. high. The four money equitable sys- 
tem of dividing, money was used, and gave the best of satis- 
faction. The open programme for the two first days was ten 
15-target events each day, with $5 added to each event. 
Shoot No. 16 of the second day was for the L. C. Smith cup, at 
20 targets. Grimm, Budd and Gilbert were handicapped to 
20yds. The cup \vas won by W. R. Milner, of Des Moines, on a 
score of 19 out of a possible 20. Three cups were given for 
averages for the two days, one each for 70, 80 and 90 classes. 
As no one made 90 per cent., this cup went back to the Associa- 
tion, and was shot off on Thursday. S. A. Tucker, T. E. 
McDowell, Mrs. Mtvrray and Martin scored 24 out of 25. This 
was a handicap shoot. Tucker had 2 added, McDowell had 2 
added, Mrs. Murray had 4 added, and Martin had 4 added. The 
three gentlemen waved their claim to the cup, and Mrs. Murray 
takes the cup home to Stillwater, Minn., as a mark of her ability 
to handle a shotgun, and will receive a handsome sum when the 
cup is shot for at the next meeting. Gilbert, Budd, Grimm, 
Worthington, Taylor, Hallowell and Mortensen qualified in the 
80 class, and on the shoot-off Gilbert won with 49 out of 50. 
Milner, Kimball, B. R. Smith, Long, Crossman, and Mrs. Mur- 
ray were the contestants for the 70 class cup, and Milner won 
the cup on shoot-off with a score of 42 out of a possible 50. 
The State two-men team trcphy was shot at 20 live birds per team. 
Grimm and T. G. Smith, of the Algona Gun Club, and Worthing- 
ton and Budd, of the Capital Gun Club, of Des Moines, tied on 
straight scores. In the shoot-off at 10 birds for teams Worthing- 
ton and Budd again killed straight and won the trophy. Grimm, 
Budd and Gilbert were handicapped to 32yds. in this cup event. 
Among the participants from outside the State were S. A. 
Tucker, representing the Parker gun and a good talker; J. J. 
Hallowell, representing the Union Metallic Cartridge Co., and a 
good worker; Mrs. P. S. Murray, of Stillwater, Minn., one of 
the best all-round lady shots we have ever seen handle a 
shotgun. She kills live birds in a style that would do credit to 
many experts. Mr. R. R. Kimball, of Omaha, a good fellow and 
a good shot. 
Inclosed find copy of a very able address delivered by the presi- 
dent, Mr. John G. Smith, of Algona, la. 
The following officers were elected for 1899: J. G. Smith, Algona, 
President; W. R. Milner, Des Moines, Vice-President; C. T. 
Chubb, Algona, Treasurer; Guy Taylor, Algona, Secretary; Board 
of Directors: L. C. Worthington, Des Moines; C. T. Callison, 
Cummings; L. C. Abbott, Marshalltown; Fred Gilbert, Spirit 
Lake: W. N. Birdsall, Runbeck. 
S. A. Tucker and Jack Hallowell were in the best of good humor 
owing to Parker guns and U. M. C. shells winning both State 
trophies and two or three average cups. Worthington and Budd 
both used Hazard powder in winning State team cup. Gilbert, 
Grimm and Mrs. Murray used Du Pont powder. Milner shot his 
special hand-loaded shells in U. M. C. cases. 
The tournament was held on the grounds of the Des Moines 
Gun Club, one of the best shooting grounds in the United 
States. Algona was selected as the place of holding the next 
convention and tournament.

President J. G. Smith, in his annual address, said: 
"In looking oyer the work of the Iowa State Association for the 
Protection of Fish and Game, for the last twenty years, the ques- " 
tion comes up: What have we done? Let us look at the con- 
dition of things years ago and look at them now. 
"I well recollect when the first gun club was organized at 
Algona, and we joined the State Association, when it held its 
first meeting in this city. We had fair 'game laws,' but they were 
violated on every hand. No one cared to try to enforce the laws, 
and if they had tried to do so public opinion would have been 
against it. Now, whatever may be said to the contrary, our game 
and fish laws are as well enforced as any laws in our code. Tf 
we can get all the shooters in the State of Iowa to join some 
good gun club, we shall have but few violations of our game 
laws. 
"The State of Iowa has done but little toward stocking our 
streams and lakes with fish, and nothing toward replenishing the 
State with game. The people of the State would be glad to 
have the State keep up with other States in that respect, but our 
legislators seem to forget the value of fish and game, and we 
are left far behind almost every other State. Our Governors seem 
to think that the office of Fish Commissioner is a sort of political 
plum to pay for party work. They are not selected for any particu- 
lar fitness tor the work they have to do. Now it seems to me that 
it is time for our State Association to demand that they have 
some voice in the selection of a Fish and Game Commissioner. 
I think there has never been a member of our Association in that: 
office since it was created. It would seem strange if the Gov- 
ernor should ignore our State militia in the selection of the ad- 
jutant-generel, or our Dairy Association in the selection of a dairy 
commissioner. Why should he ignore our State Association in the 
selection of Fish and Game Commissioner? We can vote, and 
when our next Governor and Legislature are chosen vote for men 
that are willing to do us justice, whatever the party may be. One 
year from next November 10,000 votes will count, if they are thrown one 
way, and there are more than 10,000 voters that are with us. Let 
us exact a pledge from every man we vote for that he will do us 
justice. That is all the members of the Iowa State Association 
for the Protection of Fish and Game ask for, and that they will 
demand. 
"A bill was presented to the last General Assembly asking for 
the removal of the dam in the Des Moines River at Bonaparte. 
That dam is so constructed that it is impossible for any fish to 
pass up the river. It is about twenty-four miles from the mouth 
of the Des Moines. Millions of fish that come from the Missis- 
sippi are stopped there, and the consequence is that the river north 
of there is almost deplete of fish. Two hundred and fifty thousand 
people in the Des Moines Valley were not able to get .justice from 
the last General Assembly. Petition after Petition was sent there, 
containing thousands of names of the best men in Iowa, asking for 
the removal of the Bonaparte dam. I have talked with many mem- 
bers of the last General Assembly, and every man told me that he 
knew it was wrong to stop the fish from going up the river. Yet 
the General Assembly had not the courage to right this wrong. 
There are fish enough destroyed by the Bonaparte Dam every 
year to stock the whole State of Iowa. The damage to the State 
cannot be estimated. I have not as yet been able to find a man 
in Iowa who is not in favor of the removal of that dam, cost what 
it will, and the cost will be but a few thousand dollars. The tax- 
payers are in favor of it, but the politicians stand in the way. 
Money enough was wasted in the last revision of the code of Iowa 
to have removed all the obstructions from the Des Moines River. 
"Gentlemen of the State Association, one year from next Novem- 
ber I hope you will consider carefully how you vote, and if the 
politicians do not have their own way the people of the State will 
get justice. 
"I make no complaint in regard to the money expended by the 
State of Iowa ; but this I do complain of, the State of Iowa has 
not done justice toward its fish and game. Our rivers and lakes 
should be stocked with fine fish. Our woods and prairies could 
have plenty of game at very little expense. All the members of 
this Association ask is fair treatment. They are all taxpayers and 
good citizens. 
"During the last session of- Congress Representative Lacy in- 
troduced a bill to stock the different States with and protect by law 
the new varieties of pheasants that have been brought into the 
country from the Old World. I ask the sportsmen of the land to 
give him their hearty support. It has been demonstrated that 
we can with little care have plenty of Mongolian and English 
pheasants in every part of our land. The expense will scarcely be 
noticed. Many of our sister States have already taken up the work 
and have met with great success. You and I may not see the 
benefits of such work, but those that come after us will say that 
'We lived not wholly for ourselves.' 
"On account of the planting of large groves of timber in Iowa 
the increase of quail has been very great. Large coveys of 
quail can be seen to-dav where twenty years ago such a bird was 
unknown. In many places in Iowa quail are almost as plentv 
as in the Southern "States. There is plenty of food for the quail 
at"' the i>iipa"ints; all that is needed is timber to protp^t them in 
cold weather." Hawkeye.

The contest between teams of the New Utrecht Gun Club and 
the Endeavor Gun Club last Saturday at Woodlawn was a thor- 
oughly enjoyable affair, both in respect to its competitive and 
social features. The New Utrecht Club served a substantial, pal- 
atable collation, the best testimonial of appreciation being the 
vigorous onslaught made on it during the afternoon. Scores: 
New Utrechts 234, Endeavors 222. The New Utrecht Club de- 
clared all regular club programmes off to make a clear field for 
this club contest. It was intended to be a ten-men team contest, 
but the Endeavors could not muster over six men, so the race 
was shot accordingly. It is the first of a series which the New 
Utrechts intend to organize, and should be the beginning of more 
activity in trap-shooting matters about the vicinity of New York. 
Our correspondent at the Des Moines tournament reports that 
both Messrs. S. A. Tucker and J. J. U. M. C. Hallowell were in 
excellent humor, as the Parker guns and U. M. C. ammunition 
won both the State trophies and two out of three average cups. 
Worthington and Budd, of the Capital Gun Club, of Des 
Moines, won the State two-men team trophy at the Iowa State 
Sportsmen's Association's tournament last week. They used Haz- 
ard powder in segregating the trophy. _
