cup home with hirhj and also lold him to retain it until the next 
tournament if he so desired. Singularly enough he and Gilbert 
used the same gun and load in this event — Smith gun, Du Pont 
powder and Leader shells. 
The Marshalltown quartette, headed by Dr. Kibby, made a most 
favorable impression, and it is safe to add that the next tourna- 
ment, which will be under the auspices of this club, will mark a 
new era in the annals of the Association. This club held a tour- 
nament last week, and notwithstanding the big counter attraction 
at St. Louis, they ran over fifty entries. 
Crosby was the same quiet Billy as one always finds, not saying 
much, but that a Boker gun is always in evidence when Crosby 
is around. 
The bluerock expert traps worked like a charm, and there was 
hardly a balk or a break during the entire shoot. This trap and 
the same target is indeed a great combination. 
Will Park's win of the handicap cup was a decidedly popular 
one, as Will is a good fellow and has a host of friends among the 
shooters. 
Fred Gilbert and Charley Grimm had quite an argument as to 
the size and quality of fish to be caught at their respective homes, 
Spirit Lake and Clear Lake. They have selected the writer to pass 
judgment on this, and during the next week we will spend several 
days at each place, catching anything that will take the hook. 
Both Mrs. Budd and Mrs. Gilbert accompanied their husbands 
to this shoot. Mrs. Budd was the guest of Mrs. J. G. Smith. The 
writer had the pleasure of meeting both of these ladies. 
Algona is only a small place, but it gave the visitors a rattling 
good shoot, and all the shooters went away favorable impressed 
with the little city. Paul R. Lixzke. 
Boston Gua Club. 
Boston, Mass., May 25.— The seventh shoot in B. G. C. series 
wended its way last Wednesday at Wellington. Nineteen shooters 
assembled to discuss the programme, and some of Uiem dis- 
cussed it in true expert style. 
Three members of the Centerdale Club came all the way from 
Providence, R. I., in itself considerable of a compliment for an 
afternoon shoot. Messrs. Reiner and Bain were making their 
first visit; the other third, Mr. Griffith, has attended several 
B. G. C. shoots, and become so well accustomed to the grounds that 
his handicap distance belittles his skill. His work to-day was ad- 
mirable, 66 out of 70 tai-gets, including 10 pairs; 29 out of 30 on the 
match. Mr. Howe ably seconded the Providence representative 
on this last. . 
The weather conditions were good, yet a wmd earned some of 
the angles high; the flights were fully 50 and 60yds. 
Over 1,500 targets were twirled by the magautrap between 2 and 
5 o'clock. Scores as follows:

Daniels — Money, 
St. Louis, Mo., May 22.— As aftermath of the big shoot three 
races were shot here yesterday. The first was between A. B. 
Daniels, of Denver, Colo., and Capt, A. W. Money, of New York. 
The other between T. A. R. Elliott, of Kansas City, Mo., and 
Dr. J. W. Smith, of St. Louis, while the final one was between 
John J. Hallowell, of Bridgeport, Conn., and Dr. Max C. Stark- 
loff, of St. Louis. 
In the Daniels-Money match high scores prevailed principally be- 
cause the birds trapped for this were what is commonly termeddubs. 
The outcome of this was a win for Daniels by 95 to 92. The result 
was unsatisfactory to the contestants, and at first Mr. Daniels 
declined to take the money, claiming that this was not an actual 
test of skill, for while he outshot his opponent he attributes it 
mostly to the poor quality of the birds. However, at some future 
time this pair will meet again, when every effort will be made to 
have only the highest quality of pigeons:

Smith— Elliott. 
The Smith-Elliott match and the Hallowell-Starkloff match were 
shot at the same time, on different sets of traps, though. On 
these there was a marked improvement in the birds, as a good wind 
had sprung up, which aided the birds greatly. 
Elliott experienced no trouble in defeating Dr. Smith, for he 
assumed the lead early in the race, and ever thereafter held his 
man safe. He killed his first 35 straight, which gave him a 
lead of 3 at this stage of the race, and thence on he kept in- 
creasing it to the finish, the ultimate result being a win by 8 
birds. To many it was evident that Dr. Smith was simply out- 
classed. True he made some very fine kills, but his opponent's 
execution overshadowed all of this. The birds, aided by the 
wind, were a good strong lot of flyers.

HaUowell— StarkloH. 
The Hallowell-Starkloff match proved to be more interesting, 
as in this, for a time at least, the lead kept alternating. First 
one and then the other would assume it. That was in the early 
pai-t of the match, though after the first string of 25, Hallowell 
shot a phenomenal race, scoring 73 out of his last 75, and finish- 
ing with the great score of 92 after losing 6 out of his first 25. 
Unfortunately for Dr. Starkloff, his gun went wrong, and on a 
number of occasions the discharge of the first barrel would jar 
off the other. This occurred so frequently that in aiiticipation of 
it he became gunshy; so much so that he lost his time. In the 
early part of the match he shot very well, but after that he gradu- 
ally fell behind, and finished with but 85. After the match he 
showed a badly lacerated shoulder, and it was surprising that he 
was able to finish the match at all. The birds in this match 
were the best of the bunch, owing to the fact that these traps 
are located on the brow of the hill, which gave the wind full 
scope:

West Chester Gun Club, 
West Chester, Pa., May 18.— Herewith are the scores of shoot, 
which proved a success, despite the wet weather, for we were 
unable to commence until 1:30, and in fact had given up the 
idea of shooting at all; but when shooters arrived, driving twenty 
miles to attend, we soon put the magautrap in running order 
and kept it going without a hitch until darkness called a stop. 
Our visitors were from Philadelphia, Radnor, Wayne, Christiana, 
Springfield, Pomeroy and Bartville. The scores:

New York State Shoot. 
Buffalo, N. Y., May 25.—EdUor Forest and Stream: In your 
announcement of our programme in this week's issue you state 
that event 3 on first and third days is a guaranteed purse of 
$5, surplus added. Now, as the actual guarantee ($500, surplus 
added) is so far above the usual purse, we do not blame your 
compositor for making the error. The figures must have startled 
him as they have nearly every trap-shooter in America. Kindly 
correct this in your next issue, and let every one of your readers 
understand that by paying ?5 entry, which includes targets, they 
can compete for a purse which the Buffalo Audubon Club guar- 
antees shall not be less than $500, and that should the number of 
entries be such that a surplus be created, such surplus will be 
added to the guaranteed purse. , ,. . 
Many inquiries have been received as to the manner of division 
of purses, and we wish to make this matter clear to all. 
Purses in all 15 and 20-bird events will be divided five moneys, 
class shooting, 30, 25, 20, 15 and If per cent.; 25-bird events will 
be divided eight moneys, as follot 3: 
If purse is less than $600, 20, 17, 15, 13, 10, 10, 8, 7 per cent.; 
if purse is $600 or over the division will be 18, 16, 15, 13, 10, 10 and 
8 per cent. In the grand merchandise event, second day, ties 
will be shot .off miss-and-out, unless the winners agree on a 
division of prizes. 
In the Gold Dust powder event, fourth day, lib. can of Gold Dust 
powder with measure will be given to each of the fifty high guns.

St. Paul Rod and Gun Club. 
St. Paul, Minn., May 20.— I add scores which were made at 
our gfrounds this afternoon. We were obliged to shoot directly 
against a strong wind. Morrison took the senior badge and 
Danz the junior. Dayton, Hirschy and Parker were visitors. 
The occasion was also graced by the presence of two lady shooters, 
Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Rice.- We are having a large attendance, 
and anticipate putting in another set of traps. Two thousand 
three hundred and fifty targets were thrown, and other good scores 
made, but time will not permit me to copy them.

ceived from Mr. J. A. R. Elliott, of Kansas City, Mo., a challenge 
to Mr. W. R. Crosby for the E. C. inanimate target championship

PUBLISHERS' DEPARTMENT. 
Wght's Poultry Keeper. 
The first edition of this work was published in 1867, its objects 
being to give practical details with such clearness and simplicity 
that it might be "put into the hands of a person totally ignorant 
of poultry-keeping, with the reasonable certainty that its instruc- 
tions, if followed, would command success." The constant de- 
mand for rapidly succeeding editions has proved that The Practical 
Poultry Keeper fulfilled its intended purpose. 
The work has just been brought out in a new edition by Cassell 
& Co. ; it is considerably enlarged and two of the colored plates 
are devoted to varieties of poultry which have been recently 
introduced. The facts and the truth are becoming more defined 
respecting the vexed question of poultry farming, and some 
endeavor has been made to set forth that truth, and to correct 
the exaggerations which have been published on both sides. Those 
who keep poultry, or contemplate doing so, had better consult 
a good manual, and Mr. Wright's is certainly one of the best.

Stop-Overs at Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington on 
Pennsylvania Railroad Through Tickets. 
In addition to its excellent train service, the Pennsylvania Rail- 
road offers the traveler between New York and Chicago, and New 
York and St. Louis the privilege of a stop-over of ten days at Phila- 
delphia, Baltimore and Washington. This stop-over is granted 
on all through first-class tickets reading via those cities. Persons 
desiring to stop-over must deposit their ticket with the station 
agent immediately on arrival. _ . ^ 
To those who have business to transact in these cities, or to per- 
sons who have never visited the National Capital, this privilege 
is a valuable one, and should appeal to all through travelers be- 
tween New York and the West, and Chicago or St. Louis and the 
East. The stations of the Pennsylvania Railroad are centrally 
located in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, and access 
to any section of the cities is easy, by either the regular street car
