Wa(son"s Park, 111., Feb. 19. — The sun shone on snow-covered » 
ground. The wind blew a gale, outgoing, making most all the 
birds outgoers and very hard to stop in bounds. Von Lengerke 
shot in fine form, scoring all but 1, which dropped dead just outside 
the boundary.

of the money, being the only one to go straight in the main 
event. The daj' was fine for shooting, there being but little wind 
and not too cold. The birds were a mixed lot, alternating be-

Providence Gun Club. 
Providence, R. I.— The Providence Gun Club opened the shoot- 
ing season on Feb. 22 at its grounds in East Providence by hold- 
ing an open shoot, which was well attended and a successful event. 
The weather conditions were hardl.v favorable for large scores, as 
it was not only cold but the wind blew hard, causing the birds to 
duck, and thus prevented any big averages. 
The interior of the club house was warm and cozy, but was 
not occupied any great length of time, as the shooters preferred to 
he at the traps. During the afternoon something over l,.5O0 targets 
were thrown, and the traps worked well, especially after being "idle 
all winter. 
Among the out-of-town visitors were McArdle, Moore, Gavitt, and 
Rose from the Canochet Gun Club, of Narragansett Pier, where 
the Interstate shoot was held last season, and \Vincliester, from 
Carolina. Griffith, the State champion, and Phetterplace, from 
Pascoag, were on hand and participated. 
Some creditable scores were made by some of _ the twenty con- 
testants. Bain made a run of 25 straight, killing" 10 straight in a 
10-bird event, and then making 15 straight in tlie next, a 1.5-bird 
event. Several lO-straights were scored, in spite of the wind.

Cincinnati Rifle Association. 
The following scores were made in regular competition by mem- 
bers of the Cincinnati Rifle Association, at Four-Mile House', Read- 
ing road, Feb. 17. Conditions, 20Oyds., off-hand, at the standard 
target. Weather, snow in the morning, clearing in the afternoon: 
thermometer 43 degrees; wind fitful, 3 o'clock. Mr. Roberts dis- 
tinguished himself to-day with the fine score of 96. He now holds 
the record for the range, which was held all along by Mat Gindele. 
who has scored 95 twice. In bis run of five 10s he had two that 
were 25s. Unfortunately he pulled a 7 on the last shot. Had he 
followed as he had been doing during the balance of the score he 
would have claimed the record on the standard target, but it was 
not to be. Gindele distinguished himself with three 90s to his 
credit to-day.

On Monday of this week at No. 513 Sixth avenue. New York, 
there was a special meeting of the Metropolitan Shooting Club 
for the purpose of arranging a schedule of rifle, revolver and pistol 
matches for members of the club. It was decided that the first of 
the series would be held on March 4, at Conlin's rifle gallery, and 
continue till midnight on April 1. The chief prize will be the 
valuable Gastinne Renette medal. At 15yds., the standard 
American target, l%in. bullseye will be used, and at 20yds. the 
2%in. bullseye. Each contestant will have six shots at each target, 
and the best three targets at each distance will count. Entrance 
See $3. Send entrance to the secretars'-treasurer, Mr. James C. 
Summers, 116 Nassau street. New York. The club will hold a 
regular meeting on March 4. 
"Sharpshooting for Sport and War" is the title of a work by Mr. 
W. W. Greener, who is the author of several other standard works 
pertaining to (he gun and its use. It covers every particular of its 
subject. The importance of rifle shooting in its public significance 
as it pertains to defense; to sport, recreation, competition and 
afield, is fully set forth. There also is a large fund of valuable 
instruction as to rules, position, manner, hints to beginners, 
ballistics, atmospheric effects, mathematics, deeds of great rifle- 
men ranges clubs, conditions, etc., which cover nearly every im- 
aginable detail of rifle interests. It can be obtained of the Forest 
and Stream Publishing Company. 
, — . get 
i oung doctored it up with a new bullet and King's semi and smoke- 
less powders, which prevented him discarding the barrel. It is 
strange that the factories don't get a man to test their ammuni- 
tion f(u- off-hand shooting as well as rest, for rifles. We believe 
they do for pistols and revolvers, which accounts for it shooting 
better off-hand than their rifle ammunition does. 
G. M. Barley was high with pistol, with Washburn close on 
to him, while Daiss led with revolver with all his shots in the 5- 
rmg but one, and this so close as to cause a question, which, if 
settled in his favor, will give him the Cosgrove medal, which has 
been up a year for the first possible in the 5-ring with revolver or 
pistol. 
Capt. Fred Kuhnle \vas first with the .22 rifle. He is going after 
the fine rifle again, and is studying how to improve his sight so 
he can see more clearly at 200yds. I recommend plain Lyman 
or large peep hole, but he may also need some sort of a glass to 
help him out. Dr. Twist burned his face badly and came near in- 
jtn-ing liis eyes by accidentally igniting some loose powder about 
two weeks ago. He was as glad to be with us as we were to see 
him ag.nin, and we expect he will shoot as well as ever next time 
we meet. Our new system at 50yds. gave good satisfaction, and 
the he.st rcsult.s we ever obtained. 
.\11 hands got all the shooting they wanted, and not a jar, there 
benig over 25<J entries, 10-shot. Many visitors were in attendance 
and new members were added. It is hard to please either old or 
ycung rifle cranks, but we feel really pleased with the successful 
results of to-day, after eight years of continued effort to make our 
conditions at the range more modern and practical.

Jan. 20.— Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club held its first shoot of 
the season to-day. Its first regular day, Jan. 6, was so stormy 
that it had to be postponed, the first time in eight 3'ears. It rained 
to-day, but so many were on hand that the matches were opened. 
Ten double sliding targets have been put in at the 50yd. range to 
accommodate the growing conditions of the club, and the Walnut 
Hill system of using 'scopes applied. This gives us twelve men 
shooting at the same in.stant. 
It cleared at noon, and we got four hours of good weather. 
Daiss. Kuhnle, Mannel and Dorrell fought for first place with 
rifle. Daiss fin.illy put up 57 and 56, which stood high until " 
Young made 53. then Dorrell went in at the last moment and 
beat his own official rifle score by 3 points, making the splendid 
score of 42, which is the average for the highest, bar this year. 
It was thought that Washburn was high with pistol, but later it 
was found that Barley beat him 4 points. Washburn weighs 300 
and Dorrell 220, and these babies owned the range for the re- 
mainder of the day. Daiss and Dorrell challenged Mannel and 
Young to a 50-shot match for next shoot, and were taken on the 
spot. Allen was high at 50vds., making 26 with his little Stevens 
Favorite and Peters long rifle cartridges. 
We have trouble here with rim-fire ammunition hanging fire, and 
I believe it is due to their being old and probably being exposed 
to dampness, which causes the powder to cake and deteriorate.

Feb. 22. — Several members celebrated Washington's Birthday in 
practice shooting. Young imbued our new Satyr, shooting, W. G. 
Hoffman with the idea that he could shoot in expert form with a 
pistol. He purchased a S. & W. pistol and demonstrated that he 
really is a wonder with that weapon without any preliminary prac- 
tice, and he is so taken with it that his first love, the rifle, is sitting 
in the corner disconsolate and forlorn, while he is out practicing 
on chipin'es. He shot 14 sparrows consecutively in coriipetition with 
a friend, beating his friend, who used a .22 rifle, and to-day he 
fired two consecutive scores at 50yds., counting 40 and 38, 9 of the 
10 shots in his 38 being in the 4in. ring and eight of the 
s.iir.e being in a 2in. group, a little low and to the 
left. He shot these two scores with Peters long rifle cartridges 
which Young gave him to try. The last lot of these cartridges is 
giving great satisfaction with pistol, and the boys all want more 
of tliein. Young took fifty cartridges loaded with King's semi 
and smokeless powders and his bullet, which weighs about 
2C0grs., and V. M. C. 7% primers, bullet crimped tight for service. 
He fired two scores, Daiss one and Hoffman one, making the 
following unprecedented shooting for 40 shots, three men using 
Young's revolver, which is a S. &. W. .44 and recut by Young, 
viz.: Revolver, 50yds., Columbia target, rings, Creedmoor:

This was Hoft'man's first score at a target with revolver, and he 
only took one sighter. This revolver would not shoot well before 
Young recut it, when he immediately beat the club record with it. 
He did the job in three hours' time, including the making of the 
tool, and he feels like a ten-year-old with a new toy. 
After much experimenting covering a period of about three 
years he has. settled down to using King's smokeless powder for 
priming instead of Dupont's, as it seems to work more satisfac- 
torily with semi-smokeless. The above shooting was done with 
this combination after being loaded for some time and packed to 
the range and back. We see no reason why the factory could not 
load cartridges in this way. Young and others tried the same in 
the Colt's new service revolver, and it shot out of sight. All 
smokeless cartridges are more or less unreliable, but this seems 
the ne plus ultra of the shooters' desires. To those who wish to - 
try it in their revolvers I would say use about 8grs. No. 1 King's 
srnokeless and 11 or 12grs. FFF semi-smokeless and about a 200gr. 
bullet, crimping the same as for revolver. U. M. C. 7V2 primer 
or Winchester No. 3 capper will also work well, and does not 
blow out with Young's load. Bullet 1 to 40, about.

This morning's papers state that Shell Mound was destroyed by 
fire last night, including range and dancing pavilion. This is the 
olace chosen for the Bund's shoot.
