Oct 21-23.— Los Angeles, Cal.— First fall tournament of the Los 
Angeles Sharpshooters. Open to all riflemen. F. S. Hicks, bee y. 
Tournament at Shell Mound Range. 
The twenty-shot rifle record of the Pacific Coast, on the German 
ring target, was broken by Dr. Lee O. Rodgers yesterday at the 
Shell Mound range, 'ihis feat was performed while shooting lor 
the champion ciass medal ol the Germania Schuetzen Club, single 
entry. Dr. Rodgers' score in twenty shots was 461 rings. 1 he 
individual shots were 23, 23, 19, 24, 23, 24, 21, 23, 24, 22, 22, 
24, 23, 24, 25, 24, 23, 25, 22, 23—461. The doctor was highly comp.i- 
mented tor his remarkable marksmanship, which to riflemen has 
much significance, 'ihe last ten consecutive shots were kept 
within a 6m. circle, and eighteen out of the twenty were kept 
within the same space; which, considering the distance, 200yds., 
off-hand, means that he must have been under a terrible strain 
to hoid out so well. 
His previous record in twenty shots was 451. He broke the 
coast record, wh ich was 454, held by F. P. Schuster. The latter 
held the honors ot being high man of the West omy two months. 
Ihe next in the line was A. Strecker with 451. 
It is believed that it will be many a day before Dr. Rodgers 
mark will be reached on the coast. The doctor has been an en- 
thusiastic rifleman lor the past twenty or twenty-five years, and 
has -won many medals and honors, but of ail he is more proud 
ot yesterday's penormance. During the last of the shooting 
over hait ot the members of tne uermania Club were present 
watching every shot with the keenest oi interest, and when the 
last was announced they gave him an ovation that any man wouid 
be proud 01. None were more eager to express their congratu- 
lations than Schuster and Strecker. While it cannot be stated 
now as a fact, it is beiieved that 4(51 rings is the highest 
record ever made in the United States. 
The day was none too good tor fine rifle shooting, the light 
varying every few minutes so that the elevation was hard to keep. 
In the buhseye contest for cash prizes in the Norddeutscher 
SUiuetzen V erein D. Saifie.d won first money on a center measur- 
ing 261 points on the machine. In the San Francisco Schuetzen 
Verein D. B. Faktor won out- in the champion class and IT.

the same club, is making good progress with the pistol, his best 
yesterday being 39, Columbia target count. Lieut. J. Staude and

It is hard, very hard, for a man to break himself of life-long 
habits, whether it is smoking cigars, riding a wheel or breaking 
targets in a string a mile more or less long. This in reference 
to the "Daddy of them all," not in years necessarily, nor 
figuratively in paternal characteristics, but in the wisdom and 
ability which he disp.ays in competition. The E. C. cup was 
recently added twice to his museum of rare trophies. It would 
seem that (he redoubtable Rolla, was uncertain whether some one 
else had not a possibility of winning it, so it was again placed in 
open competition at his shoot last week, Well, some of his 
doubts ma-' be allayed, for he was high man on the first and 
second days,, though on the third day he seemed to relax just by 
way of a rest, seemingly, for he was high man in the total for 
the three days with an average of 477 broke out of 525 shot at, a 
total percentage of .908. There may be baid eagles and cosmopoli- 
tan daddies, but the real daddy eagle does not seem to be nu- 
merous. 
The programme of the Philadelphia Trap-Shooters' League's all- 
day tournament, under the auspices of the FNorest Gun Cub, on 
the. grounds of the Forest Gun Club, at Wissinoming, Oct. 22, is 
now ready for distribution. There are 15 events, ot which three 
are at 15 targets, the remainder at 10 targets. The entrance 
varies from 25 cents to $1, the smaller sum being in Nos. 9 and 
12, to which are added $3 and $2 respectively. All sweeps are 
divided under the percentage system. Targets, IY2 cents, and 
included in entrance. Open sweeps commence at 10:30. Team 
match at 1 o'clock. Lunch and shells on the grounds. This 
is a programme which brings out the amateur and the man who 
likes to shoot for sport. The total entrance tor the 15 events 
is $8.75. 
Mr. J. von Lengerke, of Von Lengerke & Detmold, writes us 
as follows: "Will you please correct your Mr. E. Hough, who 
reported me as one of a party passing through Minneapolis for 
the great hunting grounds of North Dakota. We are daiiy re- 
ceiving letters with reference to this alleged trip, and even 
telegrams to open letters on business addressed to me person- 
ally. No, I am sorry to say that I have to be on duty at 318 
Broadway, working hard for a living, and am not after honkers. 
During our busy season I have to steal my days off, but managed 
to open the season Saturday with a nice mixed bag ot wood- 
cock, grouse and cotton-tails, which 1 hope to repeat weekly. 
By making mention of the mistaken identity you will oblige." 
Under date of Oct. 12 Mr. H. T. Plearsey, of the Lim- 
ited Gun Ciub, Indianapolis, ind., writes us as tollows: 'X/ur 
autumn tournament takes place on the Limited Gun Club grounds, 
Indianapolis, on Nov. 2 and 3. Targets exclusively. Open to 
amateurs. On the second day the Grand Hotel trophy^ emblematic 
of the amateur championship of the five States— Indiana, Ohio, 
Illinois, Kentucky and Michigan— will be contested for; 50 birds. 
Conditions and further information will be given in our programme, 
which will go to press the last of this week." 
The B ison Gun Club, Buffalo, N. Y., will give an open shoot on 
Thursday of this week, on their grounds, Waiden avenue and city 
line, beginning at 9:30. There are two 10-target events on the 
programme, 50 cents entrance, and two 10-live-bird events, $2 and 
$2.50 entrance respectively. There are two 15-target events one 
20-target event, one at 10 singles and 5 pairs, and 5 pairs walk-up, 
each 50 cents entrance, birds included. All moneys divided 50 
30 and 20 per cent. Birds 15 cents each; targets 1 cent. John E. 
Wilson, Sec y. 
Mr. Ansley Fox, secretary of the Fox Gun Company, made an 
extraordinary good showing both in target and live-bird shooting, 
" as will be noted on reference to the scores at the Baltimore tour- 
nament, the report of which is published in Forest and Stream 
of this week. His company has a new lock mechanism, for which 
the claim is simplicity, strength, durability and efficiency never 
before attained in such device. 
Mr. H. A. Brehm, president of the Prospect Park Shooting Asso- 
ciation, Baltimore, writes us as follows: "We would like to claim 
April 18, 19, 20 and 21 for our tournament. This will be strictly 
an amateur tournament, and we will try to make it the largest 
ever held in America. Will add at least $500." 
The Baltimore Shooting Association, Baltimore, Md., claims the 
dates April 4 to 7,. 1899, for its tournament. There will be added 
money, and a general effort to present a programme such as is up 
.to modern, standing, e 
Leroy was high average at Baltimore last week in the two day. 
on targets, breaking 332 out of 360 shot at, an average of .911. 
Under the windy conditions of weather which prevailed much of 
the time, it was an excellent showing. He also showed excellent 
ability on live birds, but lacks the experience so necessary in mak- 
ing a successful long race, and a knowledge of the manner of 
holding on grounds varying in their surfaces, as different slopes 
of ground require different holding on the birds. 
Mr. 'W, Fred Quimby, the traveling agent of the American E. 
C. and Schultze Powder Co., seems to have his shooting nerve 
all right, as will be noted on reference to the report of Rolla 
Heikes' shoot, wherein Mr. Quimby made a score of 22 out of 
25 on birds which heated the air in their flights. There 
was a prospect of a team race on the edge of this hamlet, of which 
Mr. Quimby might have been a member, but in the light of his 
recent" performance he must stay with the star performers. 
In "Western Traps" Mr, Hough mentions the sad plight of 
the Federation of Gun Clubs, of Kansas City, which has $2,000, 
which is a redundancy. We fancy that the Federation will have 
to struggle on with its burden and suffer in silence. The afflic- 
tion is one which should be borne with fortitude and faith that 
time, which cures all things, may cure the $2,000 evil. 
A match between Messrs. S. Glover and J. M. Hawkins, of 
Baltimore, was arranged at the Baltimore tournament last week. 
The conditions were 100 targets each, $100 a side, both to stand 
at the same distance. In the tournament Mr. Hawkins stood at 
16yds., Mr. Glover at 18. It was fixed to take place on Tuesday 
of this week. 
The daily press of New York recounts that on Saturday of last 
week Capt. A,. W. Money shot in the live-bird events at Wood- 
lawn, Brooklyn, at 33yds. mark, killing 33 out of 35. It was extra- 
ordinary good work, particularly as the Captain was at his home 
in Oakland, and therefore was not present at the shoot mentioned. 
Mr. W. R. Elliston, of Nashville, Tenn,, has challenged Mr. R, 
O. Heikes to contest for the Cast Iron Medal, more commonly 
known as the chafing dish or stove lid. The challenge has been 
accepted, and the debate will take place at Belle Meade, Oct. 22. 
The South End Gun Club, of Reading, Pa., won the trophy at 
their recent shoot, Oct. 12. Their score was 87 out of 125, 5 men 
to a team. The trophy will be placed in competition on Feb. 22, 
next year, under the same conditions. 
Mr. Ed Taylor, ballistic expert of the Laflin & Rand Powder Co., 
was severely handicapped at Baltimore by an injured trigger 
finger, which, being hurt every time he fired his gun, had a 
corresponding effect on his scores. 
Messrs. E. Meyers and J. Hushler, of Lambertville, shot a match 
at 25 live birds on Charley Zwirlein's grounds, Oct. 13. The 
former won on a score of 19 to 18. A return match will be shot in 
the near future. 
U. M. C. Thomas, in a calm-like manner collogated 23 out of 
25 live birds at Roda Heikes' shoot, a .92 per cent. gait. If U. 
M. C. Thomas gets serious when he squints along a gun barrel, it 
is herein in evidence that it is a bad day tor the health of live 
birds. 
Several matches were shot at Dayton after the tournament, as 
will be duly chronicled in the report of it by Mr. Litzke, in 
our columns, elsewhere. 
The Heikes-Elliott vs. Gilbert-Budd match, 50 live birds per 
man, was won by the Iowa delegation; score 94 to 88.

Heikes' First Annual. 
Davt.on, O., Oct. 14. — The little entertainment that Rolla Heikes 
had arranged for the benefit of his friends virtually came to a close 
this evening, at least so far as the programme is concerned, though 
there are yet several events of importance which remain to be de- 
cided, mention of which will be made herein later. Everything 
was conducted as per schedule, and the promoter has received many 
well-deserved compliments from the participants. 
In arranging his programme. Mr. Heikes did so with much fore- 
thought and judgment, and it is rarely the case that the wolves 
and lambs mingle together so congenially as they did here. Then 
too there has been an opportunity for any aspiring amateur to win 
fame and glory in the E. C. cup race without resorting to an in- 
dividual race with the possessor. Those who are familiar with the 
game will realize at once that this method of competition is not 
near so trying on the nerves of the novice as is pitting one's skill 
single-handed against that of the often-tried veterans. 'Ihe methods 
ot dividing the money in the unknown angle events, which were 
also the added money events, were satisfactory to all. The equit- 
able system was used. The 90 per cent, men were taxed an ad- 
ditional $2 per day to create a fund for those who shot through the 
aforesaid events and failed to draw down their entrance money. 
This kept up the interest in the shoot. Such was the universal sat- 
isfaction at the manner of conducting this tournament that 1 be- 
lieve in the future not a few shooting events of importance will 
"be announced where exactly the same system will be employed. 
Taking it all in all, Mr. Heikes has many reasons to feel proud of 
his tournament, and I question if there is one present who will 
not return again next year should Mr. Heikes decide to make this 
an annual affair. Naturally there are some losers, tor as yet no 
system has been devised whereby those who failed to shoot into 
a place can share in the division of the purse; True, Mr. Heikes 
may have been a trifle rude in not permitting some one to take 
the E. C- cup home with him, but as lie claims that this is 
almost as indispensable an article as the cast iron medal, it will 
have to be passed over with only a slight rebuke. Business affairs 
and social etiquette do not always mingle as harmoniously as one 
might wish. , 
Tourists. 
The trade, as was to be expected, was well represented at this 
meeting. There was present J. A. R. Elliott, Kansas City, Mo., 
the well-known Winchester representative; Chas, Budd, Des 
Moines, and Fred Gilbert, Spirit Lake, la., Du Pont and Hazard 
powder representatives, also Ralph Trimble, of Covington, Ky., 
looking after the same companies' interests; Harvey McMurchy,

gun; A. G. Courtney, Syracuse, N. Y'., the representative of the 
Remington gun; E. D. Fulford, Utica, N. Y., shooting a Reming- 
ton gun and Schultze powder; W. Fred Quimby, New York, 
American E. C. & Schultze Powder Co.'s representative; Milt 
Lindsley and Mrs. Lindsley (Wanda), of Cincinnati, O., manufac- 
turers of King's Smokeless powder; J. S. Fanning, Batavia, N. Y., 
the shooting representative of the Gold Dust Co. ; A. W. du Bray, 
Cincinnati, O., Parker Bros,' able and popular representative;

Co. 
There were also present E. AV, Hull, Akron O. ; Shorty Bacon, 
Miamisburg, O. ; Joe Coyle, Cincinnati, O.; Lon Fisher, Millers- 
port, O.; W. G. Lyman, Kent, O.; F. D. Alkire, Woodlyn, O.:

Trophy and Prize "Winners. 
As has been stated several times in this report, Rolla Heikes of 
course retains possession of the E. C. cup, which debars him 
from winning any of the other prizes, though he made the best 
general average as well. Fred Gilbert, who is next, therefore takes 
the Newsalt cup; Fulford wins a fine flag; Harvey McMurchy a 
box of cigars; Chas. Budd a fine bed spread; Jack Fanning also 
a box of cigars; Chas. Young a silk umbrella; Ralph Trimble 
a pair of slippers, while Bike, Alkire, Du Bray. Voris, U. M. C. 
and Courtney each get a hand protector. Then there was a 
special prize in the E. C. race, a very handsome and artistic cup, to 
go to the shooter finishing second in this race. McMurchy and 
Fulford are tied for this, and as vet it remains undecided. 
The special fund created by the tax of $2 on the 90 per cent, 
shooters amounted to $48. The first seven average winners helped 
to make up this fund, and nine shared in the division — Voris 
U. M. C, Du Bray, Courtney, Rike, Mumma, Stark, Fisher and 
Hull — each receiving $5.30 as their part of this money. 
First Day, Tuesday, Oct. II. 
The shooting to-day was not of the gilt-edge order that one 
would expect with so many of the experts competing. It is really 
a matter of surpise that, with the number of known 90 per cent, 
shooters participating, not one should reach this mark. The
