Nonpareil Gun Club, 
Chicago, May 4.— The first regular- shoot of the Nonpareil Gun 
Club took place to-day at John Watson's. It was a beautiful day, 
with a good wind blowing from No. 1 trap over to No. 5. Al- 
though the club numbers but twenty-three members, an idea of 
the feeling and enthusiasm that the style of trapshootmg adopted 
by this club has engendered may be conceived when it is seen that 
twenty shooters faced the traps. All at scratch, 30yds., no handi- 
cap and a fight to a finish. , 
Before the club shooting there was a meeting held to ratify the 
rules adopted by the special committee appointed for that purpose. 
At this meeting the Interstate Association rules were adopted, with 
exception of weight of gun, which was left imlimited. It was also 
decided that in addition to regular club prizes there should be a 
$2 sweep included in the cltib event of 15 live birds. The 
secretary was instructed to enter the club in the State Association, 
and the following team named: Lem Willard, Chas. Comley, J. L. 
Alabaster,- O. Von Lengerke. This is a pretty warm team, and it 
should be pretty near the top. 
Four men tied in the regular event, with straight sc9res of 15— 
J. R. Graham, C. R. Stevens, E. S. Graham, Chas. Comley. 
In the shoot-ofi Comley won first, Stevens second and J. R. 
Graham third. 
After the regular event, several inifes-'and-out sweepstakes were 
indule-ed in. All expressed themselves as more than pleased with 
this the first shoot, and the feeling is that this club bids fair to 
become the leadins; club of the West. It is hoped others will follow 
suit, as there is no question at all but that the only way to satisfy 
all shooters and prevent continual growling is to form clubs for 
novices and clubs for the more expert. 
Immediately preceding the club shoot there was a friendly race 
at 25 birds per man between Mr. W. W. Bonson and Mr. O. 
Von Lengerke, the latter winning by a score of 24 to IS. The 
scores of this match are as follows:

Chicago, May 4.— The appended scores were made to-day -pn thc 
occasioii of the opening of the season's target trophy series. The

Boston Gun Q«b. 
Boston, May 1. — The initial shoot of the Boston Gun Club's 
summer series for 1901 was held on their grounds at Wellington 
to-day and fifteen shooters gathered to make it as auspicious an 
opening as could be wished for. Among the welcome visitors was 
Mr. Mitchell, of Dover, who was in town for the day, and not 
knowing of any more enjos'able way of passing a few hours than 
on the trapshooting grounds, journeyed to the grounds for a try in 
three or four of the events. Though shooting a strange gun and 
load, the majority of the targets had to give in that a well placed 
charge of shot was more than they calculate to stand. The after- 
noon was replete with good scpres, among which were Griffith's 
five straights and a 24 out of 25 in the prize match, and Leroy's 
straight of 5 pairs. The latter, being from the 19yd. mark, was as 
'pretty an exhibition of skill as has been seen on the grounds 
lately. The club's lady representative -n'as again present after a 
protracted absence, and showed no signs of having forgotten 
where the gun should be placed to secure a merit mark. Con- 
siderable amusement was afforded all by two of the regulars taking 
up thi 16-gauge gun, with 2%drs. powder and %oz. shot; but after 
14 out of the 20 had been grassed in as neat a style as could be 
asked for by the most fastidious, the 16-gauge came in for a 
good deal of well deserved praise. The scores in the prize match 
were: Griffith, 19yds., 24; Leroy, 21vds., 21; Frank, 16yds., 21; 
Baker, 18yds., 17; P. B., 16vds., 17; Spencer, 18yds., 17; Horace,

The American Team. 
The American team will sail from New York Saturday, May 25, 
on the steamship Canadian, of the Leyland Line, which is expected 
to arrive in Liverpool either June 3 or June 4. The Canadian is a 
four-masted steamer of 10,000 tons burden, and is one of the new 
transatlantic steamships which combine freight and traffic pas- 
sage; she carries only saloon passengers, and has accommodation 
for between sixty and seventj^ all the quarters being on the saloon 
and main decks, and 'all ami'dships. According to measurements, 
there is nearly 200ft. between the bow and the staterooms nearest 
the bow, and the same distance between the stern and the state- 
rooms nearest the stern. 
The team, landing in Liverpool on June 3 or 4, will have time to 
get rid of their sea legs before taking part in the first of the series 
of five shoots, which will be decided on Tuesday, June 11, most 
probably on the grounds of the Middlesex Gun Club, Hendon, 
just outside of London. The conditions call for the best out of 
five 100-target races, each race to be shot on consecutive days. In 
addition to shooting the matches in London, it is expected that 
matches will also be shot at Glasgow, Belfast and Dublin, and 
possibly one in Paris. 
The team is booked to return on the Steamship Cestrian, of the 
same line, which sails from Liverpool June 29, and should reach 
Boston nine or ten days later, in plenty of time for preliminary 
practice prior to the opening of the Pan-American shoot, the third 
week in July. 
Paul North leaves Saturday, May 18, on the Cunard Line, which 
will give him nearly two weeks in which to prepare for the coming 
of the team. 
As at present decided upon, the team is made up as follows: 
T, A. Marshall, captain; R. O. Heikes, W. R. Crosbj', C. W. 
Budd, J. S. Fanning, J. A. R. Elliott, Fred Gilbert, Frank 
Parnielee, C. M. Powers. 
This leaves a vacancy or two to be filled up, but the vacancies 
will not probably be filled until the Indians meet at the Iowa State 
shcot at Newton, la. 
.\mGng those who will go along with the team are E. H. Tripp 
and wife, Indianapolis, Ind. ; Emil Werk and F. D. Pride, of Cin- 
cinnati, O.; B. Leroy Woodard, Campello, Mass.; Louis Erhardt, 
Atchison, Kan. ; and probably others. 
All arrangements for transportation, etc., have been left in the 
hands of Mr. Edward Banks, to whom application should be made 
for passage on the steamer. Stateroom accommodation at this 
time of year is extremely limited, and if anybody wishes to go with 
the team he should lose no opportunity in notifying Mr. Banks 
at his office, 318 Broad-way, New York, although this is no guar- 
antee that there will be accommodation on the boat in question. 
Zanesville Gun Club. 
Zanbsville, O., May 2.— A perusal of the pages of the pro- 
gramme of the Zanesville (O.) Gun Club's spiring tournament will 
disclose a new and novel method for the division of the money — 
surely an equitable one. 
The handicap is by distance. The first event in which each par- 
ticipates the management -will place each where in its judgment 
each properly belongs. Should it be found that any one be im- 
properly placed, he will advance or recede 1yd. at a time, until 
his proper place be thus ascertained, and there he will remain 
for the balance of the day. 
By this programme the strictly pure amateur should be satisfied, 
as he breaks into the money if he only breaks 1 target, while if he 
breaks 2 or more he gets paid according to the number he breaks. 
This should be sufficient inducement for him to shoot the entire 
programme. 
The expert amateur should be more than satisfied, as he not only 
participates in the money under the Moore system but has a 
purse created for his special benefit divided under the Rose system; 
besides, fhe club adds money to each event, and charges as an 
entrance 20 cents per target, thus making a large purse, and as 
their worst competitors, the professionals, are permitted to shoot 
for targets only here should be surely a programme to his liking. 
From mail before us we feel this tourney is going to be largely 
attended. L. A. Moore, Sec'y Z. G. C. 
[Mr. Moore, on investigation, will learn that the system which 
he honors with his name is not new. It is known to fame and 
practice as the equitable system. He further, on analysis, will 
note that 20 cents per target is a pretty stiff proposition. If an 
amateur pays, in a 15-target event, ?3 entrance and breaks 10 
targets, drawing back a stated sum for each target, a sadness will 
steal over his spirit as he notes the difference between income 
and expenditure, and also he might find that the professional 
might not shoot as a raw professor.] 
Mississippi Valley Notes. 
The Progressive Gun Club, of East St. Louis, 111., held its first 
medal shoot for the season on April 28. There were twenty-two 
shooters in attendance, which is certainly good for the initial meet 
after the winter's rest. W. Baggerman won the medal, Riehl being 
ineligible to compete, as a non-member of the club. An informal 
programme was also shot, and much interest manifested, indicating 
a lively shooting season to follow. The scores are appended:

Spratts Patent (America) Limited, Newark, N. J., have published 
an instructive booklet, whose title is "Spratts Dog Culture; with a 
Chapter on Cats," which contains useful information as a cata- 
logue of the sterling goods manufactured by that company, besides 
describing symptoms of many diseases and the best manner of 
caring for and conditioning dogs for work afield or for the show 
bench or for everyday life. It will be sent by Spratts Patent to 
tl.'ose who apply to them for it. — Adv. 
The desirability of good lights, which shall be reliable, safe and 
give little trouble, will be acknowledged by all country dwellers, 
whether in cottage or in camp. These are some of the advantages 
claimed by the "Nulite" lamps, which are advertised in another 
column. — Adv. 
All campers will agree that there is nothing more iinportant 
than good coffee to one's comfort while in the field. The In- 
stantaneous Coffee, advertised by the National Food Co., of 
Camden, N. J., is said to be prepared at once, and to be the real 
thing. It is certain to appear strongly to all coffee drinkers. A 
very .small investment will tell just what it is.— Adv.^

The National Projectile Works, of Grand Rapids, Mich,, ad- 
vertise lubricated wire patched bullets, which, tliey tell us, prevent 
fouling and leading of the rifle, and clean and lubricate the barrel 
with every shot. All big-game hunters and marksmen will be 
interested in this new device, and they can easily see what it is by 
sending for a catalogue and for sample bullets. — Adv. 
Protection from the weather has a very great deal to do with 
the comfort of every man who goes into camp. Messrs. Geo. B. 
Carpenter & Co., ship chandlers, of Chicago, not only furnish 
tents and oil clothing but camp furniture as well. Besides this, they 
are sail makers, and the growth of Chicago as a yachting center 
piakes this an important part of their business.— .4<^v.
