Pape, upon finishing his 50 shots, attended the Schuetzen prize 
shoot and made 94 in four shots and 71 in three shots, consecutive 
tickets, walking off with good amounts to his credit.^ Here is a

"At the honorary rings the fusileer from Sacramento executed 
two shots of 73 each out of a possible two at 75 each." 
Ye editor who sat upon Young for translating German into 
Columbia target measure and vice versa will groan in spirit when 
he reads that translation of German target into American count. 
Dr B H. Foreman, of lone, writes that he tied the pistol record 
of 29 on Columbia target F. O. Yoong, Sec'y.

Under date of April 17 the Herald states: "Nearly a score of 
revolver marksmen met in Conlin's gallery, on Sixth avenue, last 
night to discuss conditions for the Franco-American team match 
by cable. It was the regular meeting night of the United States 
Revolver Association, but as the president was unable to be in 
attendance it was agreed to postpone the meeting until after the 
receipt of the official challenge from the French marksmen, which 
is now on the way here. Before this decision was reached, how- 
ever, B. F. Wilder, secretary of the U. S. R. A., read a letter he 
had received from M. Gastinne-Renette, secretary of the French 
Revolver Committee, in which the conditions under which the 
frenchmen would compete with the Americans were specified. 
These conditions were similar to those cabled to the Herald from 
Paris several weeks ago. The only changes of note were that the 
match should be shot between June 7 and June 20, and owing to 
the uncertainty of the weather conditions that the teams be not 
restricted to any single day between those dates. Another 
amendment to the original conditions is that the names of the 
team members be cabled to the opposing side at least eight days 
before the meeting. Those present at the meeting thought favor- 
ably of the amendments, and all were pleased at the prospects 
of an early settlement of negotiations for the match. All were 
convinced that the challenge would be accepted as soon as 
received." 
The United States Revolver Association held a meeting at 16 
West Thirty-first street, on Monday evening of this week, to con- 
sider the matter of a cable match, but no challenge being on 
liand the meeting was not m a position either to accept or decline. 
These were present: Dr. C. T. Adams, W. E, Carlin, k. A. Cohen, 
John W. Christiansen, Charles H. Chapman. A. S. Franklin, A. 
C. Gould, George S. Geis, W. H. Hall, A. L. .\. Himmelwright, 
A. S. Jones, Setgt. W. E. Petty, Lieut. R. H. Sayre, Gen. Bird 
W. Spencer, H. Schrader and B. F. Wilder. The following reso- 
lution was passed: "If the U. S. R. A. does not receive a chal- 
lenge from France this week, that the executive committee be em- 
powered to communicate with the president of the French com- 
rnittee, stating the position of the U. S. R. A."

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Under date of April 21 Mr. L. H. Schortemeier, 201 Pearl street, 
New York, one of Greater New York's most skillful trapshooters, 
writes us as follows: "Owing to certain circumstances the 
Lebohner spring tournament at Dexter Park, under my manage- 
ment, will not take placs on dates claimed over two months ago — • 
May 2, 3 and 4. In place of these dates Mr. Lebohner will hold 
two one-day live-bird tournaments on Friday, May 11, and Friday, 
May 25j beginning at 9:30 A. M. sharp for the' introductory event. 
This will be followed by three regular events. For the three high 
guns in the total of the three regular events Mr. Lebohner will add 
¥15, divided $7, $5 and $3, each of these days. Time permitting, 
other events will be shot. All events handicapped by the manager. 
Events as follows: Introductory, at 9:30 A. M. ; 7 live birds, 
entrance 53; three moneys. 50, 30 and 2f) per cent.; class shooting. 
Regular event 1, 10 live birds, entrance $5, four moneys, 40, 30, 20 
and 10 per cent. ; class shooting. Regular event 2, 15^ live birds, 
entrance .$7; Rose system; four moneys, divided 12, 6, 3, 1 points. 
Regular event 3, 10 live birds, entrance .|5; class shooting; four 
moneys, divided 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. In all events birds are 
extra at 25 cents each. Shooters, may make an additional high 
gun stake in any of these events by notifying the manager before 
each event. John H. W. Fleming (Johnnie Jones), official scorer 
of the late Grand American Handicap, will have charge of the 
scores. Mr. Fred Lebohner will act as cashier. Lunch for shoot- 
ers and refreshments hatidy. Regular dinner at a nominal price on 
the grounds." 
"The Breechloader and How to Use It," by W. W. Greener, a 
work well known to all shooter.s, has passed into the eighth edition. 
Each year since its first appearance a revised edition has been 
published, but the eighth ha.s been rewritten. Certain portions 
have been condensed and much new matter has been aded. There 
are fifteen chapters, with captions as follows; "The Shotgun: Its 
Invention and History;" "The Parts of a Modern Gun;" "Types 
of Modern Guns;" "Caliber, Weight and Shooting of Guns;" 
"Wildfowl and Duck Guns;" "The C'noice of a Gun;" "Shooting: 
the Flight of a Load of Shot;" "The Gun Room . Causerie;" "Gun 
Stocks;" "The Fit of Guns;" "Handling and ' Care of Guns;" 
"Ammunition and Explosives:" "The Gun: How to Use It;" 
"Trapshooting;" "Sporting Rifles;" "Rudiments of R>?.e Shoot- 
ing." It will thus been seen that there is no point in theory and 
practice of shooting left uncovered. The price of this work is 
$1.50, and it can be obtained from the Forest and Stream Pub. Co. 
•? 
From the Sun we clip the following: "Walter W, Watrous and 
C. S. Guthrie, of the Carteret Gun Club, were present at the open- 
ing of the London Gun Club's shooting season on April 7, and 
took part in several contests. In the Oxford and Cambridge 
handicaps, sweepstakes of $15 each, with $125 added, Guthrie was 
third, killing 8 birds. Watrous missed his fi.rst. Guthrie missed 
his first in the next event, all at 27yds., and in the third competi- 
tion, a handicap, he killed 5 and was third. He was handicapped 
in the latter at 30yds. On April 10 Watrous was tied for third 
place with two local marksmen, with 5 kills, and Guthrie was third 
in another with 8 kills. In the small miss-and-out events shot 
after the regular programme, Guthrie killed 20 out of 21 and won 
or divided a majority of the pools. On April 12 Guthrie won a 
$15 sweepstake, at 29yds., and \\'atrous won a $10 handicap sweep- 
stakes." 
Mr. John S. Wright, manager of the Brooklyn Gun Club, has 
issued invitations for the second open contest of the trophy em- 
blematic of the championship of Greater New York and vicinity, at 
targets. Practice sweeps commence at 10:30. The trophy event 
will begin at 1 o'clock, and after that hour no entries for it will be 
received. Contestants to be eligible must reside within a radius of 
fifty miles of the City Hall. The grounds are situated at city 
line and Enfield street. Tak;e Kings countv "L." 
•I 
On Saturday of this week the New Utrecht Gun Club will shoot 
at both targets and live birds, at Interstate Park. Shooting will 
be^in at 12:30. Club events will be shot off on the arrival of the 
trains leaving Flatbush avenue station at 1 :54, and Long Island, 
City at 2:05. Mr. T. W. Morfey won the first cup in the open 
contest last Saturday, after a closely contested shoot-off with Mr. 
E, Betrks. Mt. Fessenden won the second cup. 
rhe ani-iteur tournanieiit of the Newell Gun Club, to held al 
Newell, la.. May 16 and 17, has eleven event-s on the progiamme 
of the first day and twelve on the second day, all at largcls. ii.^re 
are two events at 10 targets, seven at 15 targets and two at 20 
targets, on the first day, with an entrance based on 10 cents pai 
target. The programme of the second day is the same as tliat 
of the first, excepting that there is an additional event, No. 12, for 
the northwestern Iowa championship medal, at 25 targets, entrance 
50 cents. The magautrap and bluerocks will be used. Profes- 
sionals and manufacturers' agents can shoot for targets. Moneys 
divided 35, 30, 2i) and 15 per cent. For the highest average each 
day, $2.50; for the highest general average, $3. Guns and ammuni- 
tion shipped to H. O. Hall will be cared for and delivered at the 
grounds. Shooting commences at 9 o'clock each day. 
K 
The Westminster Gvm Chib, Westminster, Md., has issued the 
programme of its tournament, which is. to take place on, May 2. 
Shooting commences promptly at, 10 A. M. The competition is 
open to all. Al! shooters will be handicapped by distance. The 
introductory event will be at 5 live birds, $3, three moneys, 50, 
30 and 20 per cent. The second is the Westminster Handicap, 
10 birds, $5, birds included, handicaps 25 to 32yds.; purse divided 
50 , 30 and 20 per cent. There are six target events . at .10, 15 and 
20 targets, entrance based on 10 cents per target. The. Sergeant 
system will be used. Class shooting, 40, 30, 20 and . 10 per cent. 
The tournament will be under thcjjnanagetnenet of Messrs^ J. W. 
Smith, J. L. Reifsnider, Jr., and Dr. Baughman. , .. 
Keep in mind the second contest for the trophy emblematic of 
the championship of Gireater New York and vicinity, which takes 
place on the grounds of the Brooklyn Gun Club, April 30, at 1 
o'clock. Sweepstake shooting commences at 10:30. John S. 
Wright is manager. No one can enter for the trophy after the 
contest begins. Mr. C. W. Feigenspan has won it three times, and 
if he wins it again the trophy is thereby put out of general busi- 
ness. If he is the best shot, he deserves to win it; but all the 
good shots should rally and determine satisfactorily who is the best 
shot. Incidentally if a shooter should defeat Mr. Feigenspan he 
will know that he has been at a shoot. 
In the lO-bird trophy event at the Fountain Gun Club's shoot 
at Dexter Park on Thursday of last week Dr. Wynn killed 
straight and won the trophy. Hereafter the club will hold its 
monthly shoots at Interstate Park. The members will engage the 
special trolley, parlor car to conduct them to and from the Interstate 
Park, the same as heretofore at Dexter Park. The clubs are quick 
to recognize the modern appointments of the Interstate Park 
grounds, the complete fitness of the grounds themselves and the 
complete transportation facilities offered from all points.

Mr... John Parker, the efficient representative of the Peters Car- 
tridge Company, and tournament manager, managed the tourna- 
ment at Peru, Ind., most successfully. He will manage the 
Peters Cartridge amateur tournament at Natchez, Miss., on May 
9 and 10. It will be held under the auspices of the Gailliard' Gun 
Club. There will be $400 guaranteed purse and merchandise 
prizes. The State championships of Louisiana and Mississippi 
will be matters of contest, and proper trophies will go to the 
winners, and be emblematic of the honors won, 
•I 
The final contest for the Francotte gun, offered by John S. 
Wright, manager of the Brooklyn Gun Club, as a prize, to be won 
in a series of contests, took place last Saturday. Mr. R. Phister 
was the winner. He made an admirable competition for it against 
most, discouraging competition, he shooting from almost scratch 
(2 points), . against all Kinds of handicaps, long and short. The 
win was a popular one, and deservedly so, for "Woods" is one of 
the most popular, as well as most skillful, shooters. 
Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, manager of the Interstate Association, will 
arrive, in New York some day in the latter part of this week, to 
commence the preparatory work of the great target tournament 
to be held at Interstate Park, commencing on June 11. The target 
traps are being installed, and the events of the programme are 
under consideration. Keep in mind that there is $1,000 added 
money to this great target competition.

each club respectively donates three. The handicaps will be from 
25 to 82yds. ^ Each event for the trophies will be at 7 live birds. 
The competition is open to members only. 
■ Two of the most skillful of the Carteret Gun Club's- famous 
shooters, Messrs. D. I. Bradley and W. S. Edey, were booked to 
. sail for England on the St. Paul on Wednesday of this week. They 
will dally a while in England, participating in some shooting there, 
thence go to Paris, the trend of travel at present being thitherward. 
In the monthly, shoot of the Emerald Gun Club on Tuesday of 
last week there were four out of thirty-five contestants who killed 
straight in the trophy event at 10 birds. Of these, "Dr. O'ConneU" 
(Mr. L. H. Schortemeier) was the only one who stood on the 
30yd. mark.
