Honofingf the Dead. 
Omaha, ,leb., June 10. — The shooters of Omaha recently con- 
ceived the idea of putting on foot a movement to raise a fund for 
the erection of a monument to the tnemory of the Nebraska sol- 
diers who fell in the war with Spain and in the Philippines. In 
order to accomplish the above it was decided to have a team 
contest between the two rival gun clubs — the Omaha and the 
Du Pont; also, to further stimulate interest, it was arranged for 
a similar race to be shot between' the county and city officials. 
The general public was invited to witness these contests, and for 
this privilege the gate was 25 cents. In order to raise as large 
a fund as possible everyone interested was appointed a committee 
of one to solicit llie purchase of tickets. Thus in this manner 
something over 4,000 tickets were disposed of. 
The contest between the two local clubs was identically like 
that of the citj' and county — ^50 targets per man. This, singu- 
larly enough, resulted in a tie by a total of 405. It was at first 
supposed that the Omahas had won by 1 bird, and this club left 
the grounds vinder this impression, though it has since been dis- 
covered that it was a tie. The shooting was done on the Elxposi- 
tion grounds over a magautrap, and there were probably a thou- 
sand spectators present to witness the sport. The weather was 
fine and there was but little wind. Parmelee, Loomis and R. Kim- 
ball made the high score on the Omaha team, while Young and 
Curtis led the Du Pont. 
Mr. Chas. North, of the Cleveland Target Co., and the Forest 
AND Stream correspondent were the out-of-town visitors present. 
The contest between the city and county officials was disposed 
of first, and resulted in a win for the city by 337 to 331. 
There were ten men to a team and each principal shot at 50 
targets. The individual scores of the teams are as follows: 
City. County.

Boston Gun Club. 
Wellington, Mass., June 16.— The eight shooters who visited 
Wellington in search of a cool breeze Wednesday last, which was 
terribly hot, were a trifle disappointed in finding only a warm one. 
Nevertheless they commenced without loss of time to make the 
atmosphere hotter by repeated doses of nitro powder and chilled 
shot. The day otherwise was a fine one for target demolition, and 
by aiid by, when the sun descended behind the club house, and 
chairs were placed on the corner of walk, where a breeze played 
truant, the conditions were tolerable. 
Some good scores were made in the match, and fair results 
were apparent throughout entire tiumbcr of events.

Craig — Goodbue. 
Sherbrooke, p. Q., Canada.— Up in the Province of Quebec 
they have a great many shooters of the middle class. They have 
very few who can be classed as stars, but what they lack in skill 
they more than make up by earnest endeavor and immense 
ambition. 
For the past two years an "individual trophy" has been passing 
about among a dozen of the gamiest shooters, and it gets little 
chance to rust. T. M. Craig, of Sherbrooke, has held it a good 
deal, and J. B. Goodhue, of Rock Island, has had it on his 
mantlepiece. It has also been in Montreal more than once. It 
bear.s the names of all who have shot for it, either as winners or 
losers, and gains in value and interest as it travels. 
The last match was shot on June 3. J. B. Goodhue challenged 
T. M. Craig, and won a nice clean match: 
20 known. 20 unknown. Spairs. Total. 
Goodhue 17 19 7 43 
Craig 16 15 7 38 
W. L. Cameron, of Montreal, has since challenged Goodhue, and 
the match will be shot on Jidy 1, during the progress of the 
Sherbrooke Gun Club's tournament. This tournament, as has 
been remarked before, is always a success froiti every point of 
view, and the 80 per cent, man is sure to find it a delightful 
occasion. 
Dupont Gun Club. 
OuATiA, Neb., June 13.— The club shoot of the Dupont Gun 
Club was held here to-day. There was a strong wind, which made 
the shooting hard. Following the club shoot vi»as a match —

Brockton Gun Club. 
Brockton Mass., Tune 10.— Inclosed find scores of our shoot 
to-day. It was a perfect day, but we did not have a large at- 
tendance. All the traps were set as low as possible, and speeded 
up a trifle, which, with a smooth, even wind blowing all the 
time, made the targets just scoot. Leroy was not bothered in 
the least with the speed of the targets; he broke his usual 9b 
out of the even 100 he shot at. We are always pleased to welcome 
him home. Every one appears to do better with him m the game. 
Next shoot changed to July 1, when we expect to shoot over a 
magautrap. A regular warming is expected. The scores:

A. A. Barrett, Sec'y. 
Buffalo, N. Y., Jtine 17. — There seemed to be a disposition to 
rest on the part of the shooters after the great shoot of last week, 
as there was a decrease in the attendance. C. S. Burkhardt's fine 
shooting was the feature. He made an average of 94 per cent, 
on the programme events, and a total of 125 out of 135. He also 
showed in fine form in the live-bird events, scoring 32 straight 
witViout a miss. The B badge and Hebard trophy wins were un- 
decided. C. ,S. Burkhardt won Class A badge, making a straight 
score of 25, which makes the fourth straight score in this season's 
badge events, with only one more shoot to finish the season. 
The Audubon Gun Club is making arrangements for the Fourth 
of July celebration by holding an all-day shoot. The programme 
will consist of both targets and live birds. The feature of the 
day will be the shoot for the Clinton Bidwell trophy, in open 
competition. The committee in charge contemplate a fee of $5 
instead of ?10, which will be an incentive for the largest at- 
tendance which has ever contested for this trophy.

Re Sioux City Sboot. 
Editor Forest and Stream: , . . ^ t 
I regret vry much to observe that in some manner part of the 
introductory of the second day of shoot at Sioux City was trans- 
posed so as to appear under the head of 'Programme. How 
this came about I am at a loss to say, but I know it makes rather 
disjointed reading. 
I wish also to say that owing to pressure on our space it was 
impossible to publish a list of the out-of-town participants in 
report of the Sioux City shoot. . c r .-.^ 
Dr T W. Smith won the target championship of St. Louis on 
Tune U by a score of 87 out of 100. This trophy must be won 
twice in open competition to become the personal property of the 
^FrS" Beohner, of Arapahoe, Neb., defeated J. W. Smith, of 
Kansas City at latter place on June 10, in a 25-live-bird contest, 
21 to 20.- ■ P^„, R. Lttzke. 
Lifters and Liftings. 
Clear Lake June -Editor Forest and Stream: I think it 
might be well to call the attention of the readers of Forest and 
Stream to the manner in which some of our contemporaries are 
"swiping" Forest and Stream stuff without giving credit. One 
reproduced bodily, without credit, my report of the Nebraska State 
shoot, verbatim. • ii,. 
Then again. Forest and Stream was the only one to give the 
general averages made at the Missouri State shoot. Our con- 
temporaries never fail to let out a holler when once in a great 
while they succeed in getting a shoot ahead of others, and as we 
are continually getting all the news all the time it might be well 
to call the general public's attention to it- 
The programme of the Interstate Association's tournament, given 
for the Providence Gun Club, Providence, R. I., July 19 and 20, 
can now be obtained of Mr. R. C. Root, secretary of the Provi- 
dence Club P O. Box 584. Providence, or of the manager ot the 
Interstate Association, Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, 122 Diamond Market, 
Pittsburg The programme for each day is alike: ten events, six 
at 15 targets, $1.50 entrance; four at 20 targets, $2 entrance. Two 
prizes $30 and $20, will be given to the two high guns shooting 
tlie entire programme through both days. Targets 2 cents, in- 
cluded in entrance. All purses divided into four moneys, equitable 
system A light lunch will be served on the grounds. Inter- 
state rules will govern. Guns and ammunition forwarded to the 
c' F Pope Co., Providence, will be delivered at the shooting 
Ei'ouiids At 6:30 each evening special cars will be at the grounds 
to take all the shooters and their friends to Crescent Park to par- 
take of one of Rhode Island's celebrated clambakes. Tickets, 75 
cents On Wednesday evening, after the clambake, a sjjecial 
steamer will be at the dock to take all shooters and their friends 
for a moonlight sail down Narragansett Bay. This sail will be 
strictly a stag party, complimentary to the visiting shooters and 
their friends. 
Fort Smith Gun Club. 
Fort Smith, Ark., June 16. — The regular weekly practice shoot 
of the Fort Smith Gun Club took place at the fair grounds, Thurs- 
day. The evening was delightfully cool and everything was 
favorable for good scoi-es, but for some reason which is unex- 
plainable in words, but realized by all who shoot regularly at the 
traps, they were very poor. 
Miss Oglesby is improving rapidly under tlie able coaching of 
Mr. Frank Baptiste, and bids fair to be another case of the pupil 
e.N.celling the master. This lady now takes her place in a regular 
squad and shoots at the regulation distance, angles, etc., and 
her friends are quite proud jof her rapid progress in the shooting 
game. 
Judge Oglesby says that whenever his daughter can beat him 
shooting he is ready to quit, to which some wicked member re- 
plied that it was about time now. 
Matthews is shooting very steadily, and has evidently struck his 
gait for tlie season. There is no reason why he should not retain 
the State championship, which he won from Sumpter last season, 
and which he still holds unchallenged. The medal representing 
the championship will be relinquished to the State Sportsmen's 
Association on July 18, on the occasion of the regular State 
annua! tournament, to be held at Little Rock, and will be again 
put up in open competition. Matthews is to-day the best clay- 
bird shot in the State, and he will in all probability rewin the ¥< 
medal. ^ 
There will be a regular practice shoot next Thursday, and 
there will probably be some sweepstakes shooting on July 4, after 
the races. Following are the scores:

A Mauser Reloac^ng Tool. 
The Ideal Mfg. Co., of New Haven, Conn., have made a re- 
loading tool especially adapted to the Mauser rifles, of which 
large numbers are now in use in this countrs^. The tool is de- 
signed to operate on those cartridges which have no flange or head. 
Many of the later military and naval arms, such as the U. S. 
Navy. 236, Mauser 7mm., Mannlicher 8mm., .303 British, .30-40 
U. S. Army (Krag-Jorgensen), etc., were originally made for 
cartridges having heads considerably larger than the diameter of 
the body of the shell. Later issues of these so-called same arms 
were modified for using headless shells, so that there is now in 
use cartridges of both kinds. The U. S. Navy rifle, now called 
6mm., is made to use the headless shells, and it is stated that 
the Government contemplates changing the .30-40 U. S. Army rifle, 
so that headless cartridges may be used in it. The fact of there 
being many rifles of these original patterns now in use, re- 
quiring ammunition, was taken into consideration, and this new 
No. 10 special tool was constructed to operate equally well with 
either headed or headless shells. 
Campers know the importance of having their supplies put np 
in a secure and condensed form. A. B. Miller, 241 Fourth avenue. 
New York, makes a spepialty ol such supplies.— ^^i^/.
