Monte Carlo* 
The Grand Prix do Casino. 
Friday, Jan. 25.— The contest for the thirtieth Grand Prix that 
has been shot for since Mr. Lorillard secured the first and last 
Victory gained by an American will be memorable from the fact 
that not a single Englishman or American took part in it, out of 
respect to the memory of Queen Victoria. When the news of her 
serious illness reached Monte Carlo on Monday the English and 
the Australians present, to the number of something like thirty, 
spontaneously declared that they would not shoot if the end came 
during the week of the Grand Prix. This determination was all 
the more praiseworthy on the part of the Australians, like Mr. 
Mackintosh, Mr. W. Eales, Mr. Walford and Mr. Hill, who had 
come all the way to shoot, and whose chances of success, to judge 
by the way in which they had acquitted themselves in the pre- 
liminary contests, were very good. But they did not hesitate 
for a moment to act in unison with shooters from England, 
while a still higher meed of praise is due to Mr. Crittenden Rob- 
inson, for although as an American he owes no allegiance to the 
monarchy, he declared that in remembrance of the great courtesy 
that he had received at the Gun Club and at Hurlingham, he would 
take no part in the contest, probable as it seemed that he would be 
nearly, if not quite, at the top. The withdrawal of the English 
speaking contingent was of course much regretted, but the authori- 
ties are not to be blamed for not having postponed the shooting, 
as all the arrangements had been made several weeks ago, and it 
must be remembered that, if there were some thirty English 
entries, they formed little more than a fourth of the whole. As a 
rule, the Grand Prix attracts something like 120 competitors, and 
this would have been about the total on the present occasion had 
nothing occurred to keep the English away; but, as it was, the 
actual competitors stopped short at eighty-three, the Italians 
forming as nearly as possible one-half of the whole, with twenty- 
eight French, half a dozen Belgians and a few Germans, Spanish 
and Russians. Previous winners of the prize were represented by Signor 
Guidicini, Count Gayoli, Signor Benvenute, M. Journu, M. Moncorge 
and Count O'Brien, but it was to be noted that there was not a 
single Austrian or Hungarian, although the prize has been won 
three times by competitors from the dual kingdom. The weather 
was very fine when the shooting began, and so it remained. The 
birds were so good and so difficult that when the first four 
rounds had been completed only nine had a clean sheet, while 
twenty-four killed three. Previous winners, like M. Journu, Signor 
Guidicini and Signor Benvenute, had practically been put out of 
court bj' 2 misses, but still they entered the lists again, when 
sixty-three of the eighty-three original entries were called up. 
When the eighth round had been completed Signor Delia Torre, 
who had never shot here before, and M. Moncorge were the only 
two who had not missed. The ninth round began with two clever 
kills by Baron de Langen and Signor Catenacci, the latter of 
whom was shooting in fine form; but Signor Delia Torre was most 
unfortunate, as he accepted a very difficult bird that dwelt on the 
trap and got clean away. Twenty-two kills to seven misses were 
scored in this round. In the tenth round twenty-eight were still 
left in, and only 7 misses were made to 21 kills, but among the 
seven who went out was M. Moncorge. He had what looked to 
be a very easy bird, but he let it go. In the twelfth round Signor 
Catenacci led off with a clever kill, followed by Signor Delia Torre 
and Signor Gallardo, who did the same; but then came three 
misses in succession, Signor Polleri and Seiior Del- Camino both 
being beaten b}' birds that did not seem quite so good as that 
which put last year's winner. Count O'Brien, out. M. Guyot, M, 
Moncorge and Count de Robiano all killed in succession, and the 
five who had accounted for 11 birds out of 12 (MM. Catenacci, 
Delia Torre, Guyot, Moncorge and Robiano) then agreed to put 
aside out of the prize a sum of £80 for the fifth, there being only 
four prizes allotted. In the thirteenth round this unofficial prize 
was soon disposed of, as Signor Delia Torre let go a very difficult 
biid, but the four others all killed. In the next round Signor 
Catenacci made a good second from the fourth trap, while M. 
Guyot, who had been shooting very steadily and had shown no 
nervousness, also effected a good second from the second trap. 
M. Moncorge was favored with a very easy bird from the second 
trap, but Count de Robiano's chance was extinguished by missing 
a rising bird from the center trap. The fifteenth round saw the 
end of the contest, for of the three left in, M. Guyot, who put in 
a good second barrel for a fast "bird from the second trap, alone 
killed, and, having disposed of 14 out of 15, he became entitled to 
first prize. M. Moncorge, who missed a twisting bird from the left 
trap, and Signor Catenacci, who was beaten by a bird from tlie 
center trap, divided second and third moneys. This was the first 
time that M. Guyot, who is a resident of Lyons, and who had shot 
at Vichy last summer, had been at Monte Carlo, and he was as 
cool and collected at the finish as he had been in the earlier stages 
of the contest. Scores:

Balttmores vs. Keystones, 
Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 14.— The third of the series of contests 
between teams of the Baltimore Shooting Association and the 
Keystone Shooting League, for the intercity championship, took 
place on the grounds of the latter The Baltimore team won on 
the somewhat wide margin of 21 birds. Each had scored a win in 
the prior contests, so that the third decided the victor. 
The birds were a good lot, and a stiff wind, blowing from the 
west, rnaterially aided their flight, and thereby added to the diffi- 
culty of the competition. The Keystone shooters were unable to 
use some of their best men, who were not at the time available. 
The conditions in this contest were teams of sixteen men, 25 birds 
per man, .30yds. rise, sweepstake, entrance $10. The men were 
divided into two squads of sixteen, each squad having eight men 
from each club, the squads headed by Hicks and Wolstencroft 
starting on the old grounds and shooting 13 birds, the squad led by 
Rex and Whitaker starting on the new grounds and shooting 12 
birds. As each squad finished their allowance on one ground they 
changed over to the other. The scores:

The annual meeting of the above-named club was held at the 
residence of the vice-president, Mr. W. E. Loomis, Friday evening, 
Feb. 1. The secretary's report was most encouraging and the 
financial condition of the club satisfactory. . 
Letters from Manager Shaner, of the Interstate Association, giv- 
ing the club dates July 1 and 2, as asked for, for the Interstate 
tournament to be held at Sherbrooke, were read and discussed 
with pleasure. 
The club is unanimous in adopting the system of distance 
handicapping both for tournaments and club practice, and will 
arrange trap house and scores as soon as the season opens. 
The officers for the year are: President, W. E. Loomis; Vice- 
President, T. M, Craig; Captain, C. G. Thompson; Directors, W. 
B. Vail and V. G. Bray; Secretary, C. H. Foss; Assistant Sec- 
retary, Jos. G. Walton. • . , . -c , 
After the business of the meeting was disposed of a bountiful re- 
past of delicious refreshments was served by Mrs. Loomis, and 
several hours were delightfully spent in talking over prospects and 
recounting succeses and failures afloat and afield during the past 
season. Most of the members had got their deer, the vice-presi- 
dent having a deer and two bull caribou to his credit, and while 
some had only funny misses to report, only two bad failed to get 
^ Secretary Foss' big cock of the woods was a funny bird, which 
he knocked ofT a high tree twice. Each time he struck the ground 
with a thump and a squeak, and returning to the exact spot on 
the tree, attacked the worm hole as though he thought its occupant 
had hurt him. The third shot collected him for the museum, 
All the members agree to do earnest missionary work for the 
Interstate tournament, and will unite to make it a success. We 
believe that the dates selected, July 1 and 2, will insure a large 
attendance of Canadians, and that the handicap of - distance will 
encourage the more indifferent shots to come. back to us as of yore.

Milwaukee, Feb. 11.— Editor Forest and Stream: It is with re- 
gret that I, as secretary of the National Gun Club, of Milwaukee, 
Wis. am compelled to write you informing you- of the death of 
one of our members. Col. F, C. G. Brand, of National Park Hotel, 
who passed away Friday afternoon. 
Mr. Brand was the father of the National Gun Club. It was at 
his suggestion and at his place in 1895 that the birth of this club 
took place, a club in which he took a great pride and interest, and 
always attended its shoots, not always as a participant, but always 
as an interested spectator. ,. , 
The president of the National Gun Club, Ed Silverman, called a 
special meeting of its officers Saturday afternoon, at which time a 
committee was appointed to select a floral design to be sent to 
the house said committee consisting of the board of directors, 
Theo. Thomas, E. E. Rogers and Harry Reed. 
Also a committee was appointed, consisting of Dr. J. L. Will- 
iamson, E. E. Rogers and L. Collins, to draft suitable resolutions 
on the death of our member, a copy of which shall be sent to the 
family of the deceased, and copies, to the sporting papers in the 
country. , , , J , - 1 , 
The following named persons were selected by the president to 
represent the club at the funeral of said deceased, to take place 
on the 11th inst.: Theo. Thomas, Harry Reed, Ed Silverman and

Boston, Mass., Feb. 13.— Fine weather, tifit just a little chilly 
and cool for the real sport of traoshooting, greeted the eight 
shooters that faced the trap at the Boston Gun Club's fifth prize 
shoot to-day. It was one of those days that would test the skill of 
the back-mark man to the utmost and also make him wish that 
he had a gun with a charge of dynamite m it to get there good and 
quick. Our longest distance man to-day was Howe, who had come 
with his "Catling gun" all prepared for business, and though the 
wind played tag with the targets he calculated just right for the 
greater majority. Baker easily secured top position in the prize 
match, breaking 26 out of the 30, which is the highest score yet 
made in the present series. Howe was second with 22, standing on 
19yd. mark. Scores, all events 10 unknown, except event 3, which

The International Team Contest. 
Cleveland, O., Feb. 16. — Editor Forest attd Stream: Informa- 
tion having been received from London that the sportsmen of Eng- 
land are getting up a popular subscription to back an English 
team against one from America in a match at targets, that over 
half of the money has been raised, and that there is little or no 
doubt of the balance being forthcoming, it is time now to consider 
ways and means for sending an American team to London. 
The expense of sending a team of ten men and one or two sub- 
stitutes will be about $3,500 to $4,000. 
I am informed that the men mentioned below are at liberty to 
make the trip, and would certainly make the nucleus of a strong 
and representative American team. They are all willing to back 
themselves for their proportionate share of the stake, which will 
be from $2,500 to $5,000, a matter yet to be decided upon, but they 
do not feel able to stand the expense of the trip in addition. 
The men in question are Heikes, Elliott, Fanning, Gilbert, 
Crosby, Budd, Parmelee and Marshall, and there are dozens of 
others from whom to select the remaining members of the team 
and substitutes, as may be determined by their ability to make the 
trip. 
Prominent among these canditdates for place on the team might 
be mentioned Mc&lurchy. Banks, Powers, Merrill, Tucker, Fulford, 
Leroy, Upson, Trimble, Kirkvvood, Rike, Young, Squiers, Burn- 
side and many others, too numerous to mention. 
Tom A. Marshall, of Keithsburg, 111., has been mentioned as a 
suitable man to act as captain and manager, and I therefore suggest 
that he receive subscriptions for this fund from the trapshooters of 
the United States who desire this great match to come off. 
Any one desiring to subscribe can do so in any amount, eitlier 
direct to Mr. Marshall, or they could send their subscriptions to 
the editor of Forest and Stream, who could forward same to Mr. 
Marshall. 
All subscriptions would be duly acknowledged in the leading 
sporting papers, and I have no doubt but what the necessary 
amount will be readily fortlicoming. 
It is very essential that the amount be in hand not later than 
the middle of March or the first of April, and any one desiring 
to be a subscriber will please attend to the matter at once. 
Special rates will be obtained for the trip, and it is the desire of 
all concerned that as large a party of American trapshooters as 
possible make the trip. 
Hoping you will aid and push the success of this popular sub- 
scription to the full extent of your well-known ability, I remain, 
yours truly, Pa^Jl North,
