FOREST AND STREa.jevi. 
[Oct. 27, 1900. 
Peters C&tttidgc Company Towfnament at 
Montgomery, Ala. 
The shoot given Oct. 16, 17 and 18 by the Peters Cartridge Co., of 
Cincinnati, at Montgomery, Ala., was a high'y successful affair. It 
was held upon the grounds of the Capital City Gun Club. 
Shooters were in attendance from Peusacola, Fla.; Birmingham, 
Ala.; Chattanooga, Tenn., and from different points in the State. 
Two sets of traps — one magautrap and one set of three expert 
I raps, .Sergeant system — were used. 
The weather was fine. The Street Fair was going on all week 
in town, which was the means of keeping many of the local 
shooters from attending the shoot. 
The shoot was managed by John Parker, of Detroit, Mich., who 
as usual ga^'c perfect satisfaction to all. He was very ably as- 
sisted by Mr. Maurice Kaufman, of New Orleans, the Southern 
representative of the Peters Cartridge Co. The local boys also 
were untiring in their efforts to make the shoot a success and 
entertaining to visiting shooters. Messrs. Thomas Westcott, 
Watt Jewett, Massy Anderson and Sam Smithers worked hard 
and energetically all' the time, besides shooting through the entire 
Ijrogramnie, 
Satisfactory' remarks were constantly heard on all sides regarding 
the tournaments the Peters Cartridge Co. were giving, and they 
were highly complimented by all the shooters present for giving 
such an entertaining and pleasant shoot. Mr. Forbes, of Pen- 
sacola, Fla., made high average on the targets, shooting remark- 
ably well, as the Sergeant system traps threw targets very fast, 
and it was impossible for most of the shooters to make straight 
scores on same. Mr. Forbes was very highly pleased with the 
handsome gold trophy donated by the Peters Cartridge Co. for 
best average, and requested Messrs. Parker and Kautman to give 
him a lock of hair each, which he placed in the locket as a token 
of remembrance. 
The Pensacola boys anticipate giving a similar shoot in the near 
future, and will undoubtedly ask for the services of Messrs. Parker 
and Kaufman. 
The live birds were far above the average, 95 per cent., of them 
being hard, outgoing drivers, as the scores will show. 
The boys evidently did not get enough of shooting during the 
three days of the tournament and stayed over a fourth day to 
shoot uiJ the balance of the live birds and targets. 
Everybody left for home Friday evening very highly pleased 
with the tournament. This has been the means of booming trap- 
shooting in the vicinity of Montgomery, and other shoots of like 
character will follow. 
The trade was represented bj' Messrs. Parker and Kaufman, 
representing the Peters Cartridge Co. and King Powder Co., and 
James Skelly, representing Lafiin & Rand Powder Co.:

WESTERN TRAPS. 
Garfield Gun Gab. 
Chicago, Oct. 20.— The appended scores were made on our 
grounds to-day on the occasion of the third weekly shoot of the 
season. Dr. Meek carried oft the honors of the day, being the 
only one to go straight in the main event of the day. 
The day was a fine one for shooting, being cool and pleasant, 
with quite a stifl and rather gusty wind quartering across the 
traps. 
The birds were an unusually good lot, taking them all through. 
Our members are still dallying with the elusive duck and festive 
jacksnipe, and a little later will try a whirl at the quafl, and then 
for the pigeons in earnest. 
No. 1, 10 birds, $1.50 entrance. No. 2, 6 birds, $1 entrance. No. 3,

Dr. J. W. Meek, Sec'y. 
Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, 111., Oct. 13. — Herewith arc the scores of the Chicago 
Gun Club's shoot this afternoon. Live birds were the attraction. 
Twenty-two shooters faced the traps, or in other words called 
"Pull" and watched for the birds to come up from the tall grass. 
The five traps were completely hidden from view. The birds 
were strong flyers, and this is the explanation for the goose eggs. 
Geo. Jioll, the 100-straight man, found them all, and our friend 
Lem Wiilard also killed 16. 
Mr. C. P. Richards and A. Hellman, of the Garfield Club, were 
visitors. They were shooting targets at a good clip. 
.Dr. C. W. Carson, the club's hustler, could not attend the -shool: 
owing to urgent bu.siness out of town. 
The Chicago Club seems to have a lot of willing ones to help 
a shoot along, and make a visiting sportsman think he is at home.

.\ big live-bird shoot is one of the things making: in trapshooting

nouncement. 
-As the season for quail shooting approaches it may be said 
with confidence that the crop of birds and prospects for sport are 
decidedly the best that we have had in Illinois for years. And it 
is no less sure that this pleasing condition is due largely if not 
wholly to the fact that the new game law has afforded proper and 
practical protection to the birds through the summer and earljr 
fall season. ^ F. C. Riehl.

PUBLISHERS' DEPARTMENT. 
Nothing is more important to the gunner than the condition 
of the barrels of his arm. Most men have had experience in 
sending guns to the gun store to have the rust taken out of the 
barrels, or to have them rebored, and very often the work is done 
in an unsatisfactory way. The advertisement of Mr. Alex S. 
McMullen, of Ilion, N. Y., indicates that some one has at last 
arisen to take up the boring of guns as a specialty, and the 
proper treatment of the barrels. — Adv

blaek ducks. We are seventy-five miles from New York.
