Country Gun Club. 
]VIyerstown, Pa., Oct. 13.— ^^■e held a live-bird and target shoot 
this afternoon and had a fair attendance. Owing to the traps not 
working, only one live-bird event was shot. 
The first event was the merchandise, and LeitnBr and G. Shana- 
man tied for the coat on straight scores. R. Shanaman. J. Faust 
atid Zeller tied for second prize, a vest, .9nd decided it miss-and- 
out, Zeller winning out on the fourth round. The last prize, a 
box of shells, was shared by the 3s. 
In the second event at targets, the moneys were divided. 
Five miss-and-out contests were shot. Noll won out in the 
first event on the third target. Brubaker the second on the third 
target, G, Shanaman the third on the fourth target, Mounty the 
fourth on the second target and Layser the fifth 011 the third 
tareet. 
The boys were all enjoying the sport with the low scores. The 
traps bothered a few. The day was threatening, but held up for 
us to make the scores. 
We e.Kpect to hold another match about Thanksgiving, but 
expect to have all things in working order. Much obliged, boys, 
for vour attendance. We expect you at the next shoot and hope 
to show you a better time.

Division of the Moneys, 
We have had numerous inquiries from shooters of various 
sections of the United States and Canada asking for information 
in respect to the manner of applying the difierent systems for 
dividing the purses at shoots. . In response to the want, we here- 
with append illustrations of the working of the Rose, Eqaitable, 
Jack Rabbit systems, and class shooting: 
The Rose System.

The ratios commonly tised are: 
Two moneys, 6 to 4. 
Three moneys, 5, 3 te 2. 
Four moneys, 5, 3, 2 to 1. 
Five moneys, 8, 5, 3, 2 to 1, 
Six moneys, 13, 8, 5, 3, 2 to 1. 
Any other ratios may be adopted at the shooters' pleasure. Onco 
the ratios are determined, the system works with mathematical 
accuracy, and the winnings are in. accord with the ratios, regardless 
of the number of winners or of the number of winners who tied. 
There is absolutely no faulty place in this system which offers a 
premium on "dropping for place." 
This system is applied almost exclusively to target shooting. 
Class Shooting. 
If in the event mentioned above there were four moneys, 40, 30, 
20 and 10 per cent., the winnings would have been as follows: 
A and D, each 15, divide 40 per cent ifS.OO 
H broke 14 and receives 30 per cent, alone 6.00 
E broke 13 and receives 20 per cent, alone. 4.00 
G broke 12 and receives 10 per cent, alone 2.tf0 
$20.00 
.\pplied to both target and live-bird shooting. 
Equitable System. 
Suppose that the foregoing event was to be governed by the 
equitable system. The winnings would then be determined in the 
following rnianner. The total amount of the net purse- -.$20 — would 
be divided by the total number of targets broken by the winners, 
which is 69, which gives 29 cents for each target. ' Each winner 
then receives 29 cents for each target broken, as follows: 
A receives 15 X 29 = $4.35 
D receives 15 X 29 = 4.35 
H receives 14 X = 4.06 
E receives 13 X 29 = 3.77 
G receives 12- X 29 = 3.48 
Whatever the number of winners, the amount won by each is 
found by determining what each broken target is worth, as above, 
and then multiplying the value of such target by the number 
broken by each winner. 
Applied to target shooting. 
Jack Rabbit System. 
This system is based on the theory of paying each competitor a 
certain amount — 10 per cent, of his entrance — for each target he 
breaks. The remainder of his entrance, represented by targets 
missed, forms a purse to be divided according to the system of 
class shooting. If the event is at 10 targets, $1 entrance, the shooter 
gets 10 cents for each broken target.- If at 15. $1.50 entrance, the 
■shooter gets 15 cents for each broken target. If at 20, 20 cents for 
each broken target. Let us suppose there are ten shooters in a 
10-target event, ten entries, .$1 entrance, with results as follows.

Mississippi Valley Notes. 
OiNK of the features of the late fall or oarlj' winter in trap- 
shooting circles will probably be a week's sparrow tournament at 
Indianapolis. Ernest Tripp, Elmer Neal,^ Ed Voorhes and others 
of the stalwart shooters ot the Hoosier State are already talking 
it up. 
Guy Burnside, of Knoxville, 111., than whom trapshooting has no 
more ardent supporter and follower, is being urged, and will prob- 
ably conclude to give a four days' shoot at Galesburg late in 
November or early in December. 
Hon. Tom A. "Marshall is wearing a handsome Indian head 
button sent him by Jack Parker, for the longest run of consecutive 
breaks at the Indian shoot. Mr. W. R. Crosby is displaying a 
similar trophy, emblematic of his having carried off the honors 
at lack Parker's recent shoot at Detroit. 
The Indians have selected and placed the order for the badge 
vvhich is to be symbolic of that organization of stalwart braves. It 
is the head of a typical Indian chieftain, mounted in colors in 
the shape of a lapel button, and must be worn by all members 
in all contests in which they singly or collectively engage.

McCoy vs. Henry. 
Phil.\delphia. Pa., Oct. 13. — For the second time within six 
months F. B. McCoy has been defeated by H. Henry in a lOO 
live-bird match by one bird to-day. The second match was shot 
vesterday afternoon on the grounds of the Kej'stone Shooting 
League, at Holmesburg Junction. As both are prominent and 
well-known wing shots there was a large gathering of interested 
friends, and considerable money changed hands_ on the result. 
Tlie conditions were 100 birds per man, 30yds. rise, A. S. A. rules, 
$100 a side. 
The birds were a good lot, with now and then a screamer. Mc- 
Cov drew the best birds, and he was lucky in gathering three 
birds which became exhausted, flying around within the boundary 
fence, the dog catching one bird by making a high jump. 
McCoy was also unfortunate in having five of his eight lost 
birds dead out of bounds, one, the 4lst. falling stone dead just 
over the wire. 
Henry had two dead out of bounds, an^ out »£ the fifteeti. lost 
out of "the 200 every one was hand hit. 
Henrv started the match by making a good kill and then missing 
his secbiid and Rfth biV^s, This gave McCoy a coivifortable lea^ 
of two birtls. He was killing his birds in fine shape, making both 
barrels count. On the 21st round he drew a right-quartering 
screamer from No. 3 trap; the bird was hit hard with both loads, 
but was going too fast to be stopiped inside the wire. By missing 
his 24th bird, an outgoing twister from No. 1 trap, the score was 
tied. After making a run of 23 Henry lost his 29th and 30th birds, 
which g.ave McCoy a lead again of two birds. He lost one of the 
lead on the 37th round, and tied the score again by missing his 
41st, which fell dead just over the wire. His next miss was an 
incomer, which fell dead against the club house. This gave the 
lead to Henry by one bird, which he held to the end of the match, 
making a clean run from the 52d to the 94th, 41 straight, McCoy 
at the same time making a run of 39. The scores follow:
