ARCH 16, 
A movement has been started to form a league of Wisconsm 
gun clubs, and in furtherance of that purpose the promoters will 
endeavor to have the league formed earlj' in the season, to hold 
a convention at some central place in Wisconsin for the adoption 
of rules, appointment of commettees, and the arrangement of all 
the other details of a general organization. April 12 and 13, 
Palmyra, Wis., are time and place fixed upon for the meeting, and 
also for a two days' tournament at targets and live birds, by the 
Palmyra Gun Club. Full information as to details may be ob- 
tained of Mr. E. R. Trippe or H. Browall, Palmyra, Wis. 
Mr. C. W. Billings, of Hoboken, N. J., with his wife and father- 
in-law, Mr. White, leave for Smyrna, Fla., on Wednesday of this 
week. The party contemplates an absence of two months on the 
Florida outing, but Mr. Billings may make a trip to Interstate 
Park, to participate in the Grand American Handicap, in which 
last year he contested. 
At Columbus, Wis., last month, at 45 birds, for price of birds, 
30yds. rise, four shooters contested and made scores as follows: 
H. O. Anderson 43: G. V. Bering 42, one dead out; P. D. Durant 
28, one dead out; Capt. O. M. Bering 9 out of 10, and withdrew. 
The latter is over seventy years old. Eight of his kills were with 
the first barrel. 
The famous crackajacks who make history with the shotgun, and 
others less known to fame, have been and are making scores on 
the Roof Garden, at the Sportsmen's show, but the serious part of 
the contests is still ahead. No doubt but what the competition will 
be fast and close before the finals are shot off on March 17. 
Mr. Irby Bennett, of the Winchester Repeating Arms Co., arrived 
in New York last week, to be present in the East during the busy 
shooting season. We learn that he now is the general agent of the 
great company which he so ably represents, and we congratulate 
him upon his promotion to such an important office. 
The championship cup, offered by the Herron Hill Gun Club, of 
Pittsburg, was won by Mr. W. S. King. He and Messrs. C. S. 
Painter and Kelsey tied on 47 out of 50. In the shoot-off at 10 
birds, Mr. King scored 9 and won. All stood at 30yds. 
Mr. J. S. S. Remsen won the first of the series of four contests 
at 30 targets for the medal put up for competition by Manager 
John S. Wright, at the Brooklyn Gun Club's shoot last Saturday. 
•t 
Mr. Charles A. Sykes was the victor in the first contest for the 
March cup, in the Crescent Athletic Club's shoot on Saturday of 
last week. With his handicap of 2 he made a full score of 25. 
n 
In a shoot at 25 live birds on Thursday of last week, on the 
grounds of the Medicus Gun Club, Dr. A. A. Webber and Dr. B. 
K. Wood tied on 20. In the shoot-off Dr. AVebber won. 
A gun club was recently formed at Hempstead, L. I., and it 
contemplates engaging in active trapshooting in the near future.

Buenos Ayres. — After one week spent in the largest city in this 
country, and what is called the Paris of South America, I have 
decided to write before leaving. It is, in a great many respects, 
one of the most beautiful cities I ever saw. The streets are very 
narrow in the older part of the town, and the walks are about wide 
enough for three persons to walk abreast. One of the prettiest 
streets I ever saw anywhere is Avineda de Mayo. This street is 
very wide. The city has spent millions of dollars on its parks, or 
plazas. They are perfectly beautiful, and in this climate are green 
the year around, and perfectly kept. 
Nearly every place of business is run by foreigners — English, 
French, Italians, Germans, Americans, etc. The people here spend 
money very freely, and seem to have plenty of it. Sunday we went 
to Palamo, to the horse races. There were seven races, and there 
were over $200,000 bet on the different races. The pool selling is 
in, the hands of the Government, as is also all the lottery business 
of the country. After every race they run up a blackboard, and on 
this they give the number of tickets sold on each horse, and at the 
bottom the total on all the horses that ran. In one race there were 
20,000 pools sold, and each pool costs $2. This will give some idea 
of the way these people spend money. 
Another thing this city has that can't be beat are their docks. 
They are as fine as there are on earth — in fact, after being in Per- 
nambuco, Bahia and Rio de Janeiro, this city is a second New 
York. All those Brazilian cities are 500 years behind Buenos 
Ayres. 
I went out to Hurlingbam with an Englishman by the name of 
Clifford to a pigeon shoot. There were forty shooters, $20 en- 
trance; and after shooting at 12 birds, the first prize, 5490 and a cup 
worth $200, was won with a score of 10. Second prize, about $250, 
was won by a score of 9. I wanted to shoot, and had put in my 
money, but they would not let me. I would have won, sure, as 
I never saw easier birds to shoot; and they shoot 4 birds at 24yds. 
rise, then 4 birds, 26yds. rise, and the last 4, 28yds. When they 
had shot at 5 birds each there was not one that had killed straight, 
and when they had shot 9, there were only three men left in the 
shoot. All the rest had dropped out. 
They had some shoots in January at another place here that I 
have forgotten the name of. The first prize was $10,000, $100 en- 
trance; and any quantity of shoots where the first prize is $500 and 
$1,000. About three of our best shots could come down here and 
in six months could pick up $25,000 easy. 
They shoot from five ground trap, but do not use dogs to re- 
trieve, which seemed strange to a person used to seeing trap- 
shooting in the States. I have succeeded in getting a card, and 
when the next shoots come off I will be on hand and will try and 
get a slice of the money. D. E. Moore.
