Owing to the inclemency of the weather but few shooters turned 
out at the regnlar monthly shoot of the Cannibal Gun Club. But 
what was lacking in nu.niber.s was made up in enthusiasm. We 
had Dr. Thomas, of the Trenton Shooting Association, as a visitor. 
You will see by the Doctor's scores that he had his eyes on the 
targets. 
It is very likely that the Cannibals will organize a team of 
seven men for a team shoot with the Trenton Shooting Association 
in the near future :

Boston Gun Qttb* 
EostOH, April 10. — The closing weeks of the Boston Gun Club's 
spring serial prize shoots do not seem to be on the good books 
of the weather- clerk, if Wednesday, April 10, is any criterion. 
The last three weeks have all been very poor days for trapshooting, 
and improving scores has been out of the question. The shooting 
to-day was extremely difticult, caused by the fact of our magautrap 
being on the sick list for about an hour. It is the first real illness 
it has encountered since its arrival here two years' ago, so we 
can easily forgive it. The shooting for the first hour was over a 
single expert trap, which was keyed up to a good strong target, 
and accounts for not a few of the misses which found their way into 
the scores. After shooting on that for a while and then going- 
back to the magautrap made another change, and taken all in all 
the conditions were too much of a handicap. In the prize match 
Howe secured first place with 24, G. W. second with 20, and 
Spencer third with 19. Scores as follows:

Secretary. 
St. Louis Shooting Association. 
St. LoDiiS, April 13. — A great many trapshooters have written to 
the secretary of this Association asking for programmes, which 
indicates at this early day a decidedly strong interest. 
We are going to give a good shoot, and if we have fine weather 
the twenty-fourth annual tournament will go down in history as a 
record-breaker. 
A synopsis of the programme is about like this; Un Monday, 
May, 27, will be a preliminary practice day, to give the amateurs 
the opportunity of shooting over the live-bird traps and getting 
the range, 'i he target traps will be in operation all day long, so 
that those who prefer bluerocks can take their measure. 
Dave Elliott has made Dupont Park more attractive than ever 
before. The regular weekly shoots which are held there are so 
large that his lorce of trappers, puller'; and live-bird boys are 
trainerl perfectly. This comuetent help will add greatly to the en- 
joyiiient iif the sportsmen. In the box office Mr. Whitney, who is 
the best that ever was, will pi^obably officiate. 
To the gentlemen of the press wc can only say that we will 
treat you as well as last year in the matter of scores, and will 
•j.ive E Hough, Frank Riehl enA Fred Pride, and any other that 
comes this way, a glad hand. 
The magautraps will run all the time. Something will be doing 
ing willi the State Association team shoot. 
•On the second day the Republic cup will be the attraction. Tliis 
cup is a .^IjOOO guaranteed purse. It is a bona fide championship 
vviin no strings, anU we iJiace it in this prominent position so that 
everybody can enter and shoot for it. 
The magautrap will run all the time. Something w'ill he doing 
at the targets, eitlier in the regular events or practice. 
A 'few words about the target events: They are short, 15 and 20 
bird races. Most of them carry liberal added money, and those 
that don't will have a string of prizes, like a eucher party. Every 
article will be of value to a shooter. They have been donated to 
the St. Louis Association, and we can afford to be liberal. The 
prizes range in value trom a shotgun down to a pair of sus- 
penders. A case of Mumin's extra dry has been offered through 
Mr. Henry Griesedieck. 
Blake Collins and Frank Orvis have sold stocks and bonds in 
order to make money for the shoot. 
George Kawlings, a-s chairman of the prize committee, has writ- 
ten to the manufacturers delightful letters, which no doubt they 
were glad to receive, as most of them have sent their contribu- 
tion, realizing uiat tne Missouri State shoot is of such importance 
that they will derive material benefit. 
Our president. Dr. Starkloff, is the champion of Carondelet. He 
will take care of your health when you come to St. Louis, and at 
the present time is looking after the interests of the toiunament ii> 
a careful manner. 
lo our squad captains we wish to say that therp will be specif 
prizes of a substantial nature for you, and we want you one and 
all to help make this tournament a greater success than ever before.

Auburn Gun Club. 
The annual meeting of the Auburn Gun Club was held March 
30, and the following officers were elected: President, O. L. Barker;* 
Vice-President. H. A. Fletcher; Trtasurer, C.^E. Conner; Secretary, 
L. A. Barker; Assistant Secretary, H. L. Snow. The club is in 
a good financial condition, with a membership of about fifty, and 
everything looks favorable for a prosperous year. The club has 
good grounds, with a set of five expert traps, a magautrap and a 
Hne two-story club house. They will shoot every Saturday after- 
noon, beginning the first Saturday in May and ending the last 
Satttrday in September. 
There will be a programme of four events every Saturday, con- 
sisting of 10 known angles, 25 known, 10 unknown and 25 
unknown, over the magautrap, making 70 targets in all. The 25 
known will be the club championship lor a handsome gold badge, 
and in this event the same handicap will be used a.s in the past 
two years, nameiy, 90 per cent, men on the scratch, 85 per cent, 
men one dead bird, 80 per cent, men, two dead birds, and so on 
do%vn to 60 per cent. The score is kept by points, 25 counting 10 
■ points; 24, 9 points, and so ori. The system has been very success- 
full, as shown last year, when four men scored as follows: 140, 139, 
13i!, 13/, wiih a dozen men oose up. The 2o-target, unknown angle, 
event will be for four fine prizes, and will be shot un.der a distance 
handicap from 16 to 21yas., with handicap revised every four 
shoots, same as other events. 
The club has made a contract with one of the st.ables ip town 
and will have a buckboard run to the grounds from Post Office 
square, Auburn, once an hour every Saiurday, commencing at 2 
0 clock. 'Ihis will enable shooters to ride direct to the grounds 
for 10 cents, any time irom 3 P. M. until 5 P. M. 
The Auburn Gun Club boasts of sojnc of the best shots in the 
State. Among them are G. R. Hunneweli, who won the in- 
dividual championship of Maine last summer, and L. M. Norton, 
who held the champ'ionship in 1^99. In lSb8 the club held the 
team championship of the State, having won it from the 
Waterville Club, the team consisting of Hunneweli, Norton, Con- 
ner, Coib, and Berry, Mr. O. L. Barker won the gold badge 
presented by the Club last year, it being won in 1899 by G. R. 
Hunneweli. in 1S98 by L. A. Barker, and in 1897, the first year of 
the club's organization, by Mr. U. L. Barker. Then they shot 
over one trap and had five members. To-day the club is one of the 
rtiost prosperous gun clubs in the State, with the best of fitted up 
grounds and house. The members take a lively interest in the 
welfare of the club, and visitors are always welcome. Aug. 21 and 
22 there will be an Interstate tournament held at the Auburn Gun 
Club grounds, under the management of Elmer E, Shaner. This 
will give people an opportunity of seeing many of the profes- 
sionals shoot, among whom will be some of the crack trap shots 
of the United States. The club also will hold an annual tourna- 
ment on Decoration Day. L. B.

Pigfcon Shooting at the Trajps* 
The Selling of Newspapers. 
For a few wteks before the recent Grand Amefifcan Handicap 
the class of newspapers of New York city which are commonly 
known as the "yellow journals" devoted much space to setting 
forth the cruelties of pigeon shooting at the traps. Furthermore, 
in the week of April 1, coincident with the commencement, con- 
tinuance and conclusion of the Grand .American Handicap, 
America's greatest shooting event, the press, yellow and otherwise, 
of New York city abounded with editorials, special articles and 
letters from contributors in which pigeon shooting at the traps was 
denounced, not for its unlawfulness, but for its cruelty. 
The newspapers catering to class sentiment set forth the cruel 
features, as they were assumed or imagined to be; the event as a 
whole was classed as a slaughter; but the letters from corre- 
spondents were consequent to the false information which was 
published. 
Much of what was written against the contest was from the 
standpoint of the demagogue, the professional notoriety seeker, and 
the men who endeavor to manufacture highly sensational litera- 
ture to the end that a market may be secured for it. 
There _ was no fairness in the discussion. The question was 
begged in its parts and as a whole. Everything advanced as data 
was assumed to be proven. To all who had a personal knowledge 
of it, exaggeration, perversion of fact, and ex parte purpose were 
evident in every line. To all others, the recountals portrayed 
cruelty indeed, as the following, which is presented as a fair 
sample of what was published, will show; 
"MANY BIRDS SLAUGHTERED. 
"Gvei" Three Thousand Pigeons Shot at the Interstate Park Traps. 
''women watch the butchery. 
"Maimed Winged Targets Allowed to Suffer in Full View of 
Sportsmen and Spectators at Queens. 
"Pigeon slaughter— and maiming— was continued yesterday at 
the trapshooting tournament at Interstate Park, Long Island, and 
there was no official action taken to mitigate the sufferings of the 
birds. Agents of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to 
•Animals were on the grounds; so were uniformed policemen. The 
spectators and crack shots numbered 400. More women viewed the 
butcher- than on Monday. Conditions were about the same as 
on the first day. A show of gathering in the 'cripples' outside the 
50yd. boundaries of the four sets of traps was made several times 
in the day. At the best, it was perfunctory, as maimed birds were 
allowed to suffer in several places during the entire day, especially 
near the house at the road entrance to the park. The lads in the 
pits were more merciful as a rule to the pigeons they gathered 
within the boundaries, as they wrung their necks before casting 
thtm into the pits under the traps," 
So much for the picture of the wounded birds, Now for a picture 
of the shooter and doings. The same journal stated that "The 
pigeon that furnishes a living target finds itself, just before its 
s.-crificc, in a small box 90ft. from a deadly arm loaded with nitro 
jiiiwder and No. 7 shot. At a signal the winged prisoner finds itself 
in naked liberty through a contrivance in the trap box, which 
exposes it free to fly, J^efore this chance for life— one in thirty on 
an avera.g-e— is given it the shooter has announced himself as ready 
to shoot. He has also leveled his gun in the direction of the line 
of trap boxes, .^o th.it in many instances his sigjit along its rib is 
in the line of the released bird, an advantage in favor of the man 
not had in wild birds' haunts, where the game may spring in the 
air from any point of the grass or brush, and the bird target is 
exposed when he cries 'Pull.' In the majoritv of 'kills' the 
bird falls dead, a bag of riddled skin and broken bo'nes, or mortally . 
stricken before it has flown— the man with the gun must not shoot 
until the target has begun to fly— 1,5ft. from where, to its amaze- 
ment, it found itself unencompassed by prison walls." 
The wise reader will note that the writer of the foregoing had 
imagined plenty of crippled birds to show that the sport was cruel, 
but when it came to dealing with the shooter, in an effort to show 
the absence of skill in the sport and that it was a mere slaughter, 
the bird 90ft. away from a deadly arm has on an average, as per 
above, only one chance in thirty for its life. That would be but 
three and one-third wounded and lost birds in a hundred, a small 
margin for cruelty indeed. In other words, the writer of the fore- 
going imagined plenty of crippled birds to prove cruelty on the 
one hand, and, on the other, to belittle the prowess of the shooters, 
he imagined the odds were so great against the birds that practi- 
cally none could get away. 
The Law. 
TJip Ijaw ofi thp subjept was qtioted and discussed in the daily 
press, and it was conceded that pigeon shooting was entirely legal 
under Seption 1, Chapter 107, Laws of 1875, as follows: "None of 
the provisions of la\r heretofore enacted for the prevention of 
cruelty to aniipals within this Stafe shall be construed to prohibit 
or interfere with the shooting, by members of sportsmen's clutjs' 
or incorporated societies, of pigeons; Provided, That in each 
case, as soon as they can be captured or taken after being shot, 
such pigeons, if living, shall be immediately killed." 
Thus the law provides that a man may shoot pigeons if he 
wishes to do so, but it does not say that he must shoot them if he 
does not want to._ Under the law, the man who feels that he 
should not shoot is free to follow his inclination. No one need 
visit a shoot if he or .she does not want to. 
The Facts. 
Let us now consider the facts. Each set of traps was attended 
by four boys, three at the traps and one at the score. After each 
shooter had shot, his bird was promptly gathered if it fell within the 
boundary or near the boundary without. The wounded birds were 
killed promptly as gathered. A pigeon would now and then fall 
far away, dead or wounded. Most of the wounded died in a few- 
moments. A few birds escaped untouched. A relatively trifling 
percentage of the wounded went beyond bounds. The Grand 
American Handicap in this respect did not differ materially from 
other similar events except as to size and importance. 
Th,e management enfirply prohibitefl any irregular shooting; 
also the referees were instructed to prohibit it. Several hundred 
ladies and gentlemefi were present about the Casino, and therefore 
it was neither thp tipie nor place to permit shootij-ig at wounded 
birds whiph had lo.dged oij the buildings, nor any other irregular 
shooting whatever. Nor did any one deem thaf the law was beipg 
violated by the management when it did not require any of its 
employees to jeopardize life or limb in climbing to risky places 
for wounded birds. The letter and spirit of the law require that 
due diligence concerning it shall be observed; but it does not re- 
quire the observance of the frivolous, the freakish or the impos- 
sible. 
The contestants as a body were men of wealth, culture, and high 
standing in the social and business world. The Grand American 
Handicap has had lawyers, doctors, millionaires, business men, and 
even clergymen among its contestants. 
As pigeon shooting is an expensive sport, it is patrofiized mostly 
by men of means. Their knowledge of practical humanity is as 
much better than that of the speculative professional humanitarian
