FOREST AND STREAM. 
Echoes of the Angflo-American Matcht 
New York, July IS.— Editor Forest and Siream: ■ My brief dis- 
patch from Boston, dated the 9th inst., which appeared in your 
issue of to-day. told the boys that the majority of the team which 
left this city for England on the morning of May; 26' had got back 
heme again. Paul North, who acted as manager, is expected home 
this week, having- stayed behind for a lengthy trip in the Emerald 
Isle; H. H. Getchelt, of ' VVoonsocket, It, I., who came back with 
us, met Paul while in Ireland, and says that he fPaul^ had even 
then acquired quite a brogue, and was considerably at home 
t'wirling a blackthorn shillalah. ■ - - j ■ 
Since our return wc have heard nothing of either Merrill, Powers 
or Elliott: the latter may be sailing on the steamship Cijnadian 
the -17th of this month. - If so, so, Capt. Hill, of-that ship, will look 
after hint, all right. If, however, Jim has continued shooting 
pigeons as well and as profitably as he started out to do, it may 
be Aug, 20 befpre the Canadian receives him as a passenger. 
Midwinter in Midsummer. 
From the day we sailed from Li,verpool on the Cestrian, Suxfday, 
June 30, until the day we landed in Boston, July 9, wc had just 
about as chilly a time as ever fell to the lot of seafarers during the 
month of July. Cold winds, and plenty of them, made sitting out 
on the deck most uncomfortable unless heavy overcoats and thick 
traveling rugs enveloped one. Cozy corners out of the wind were 
also necessary for one's enjoyment of the open air. Rains — some- 
times heavy ones — and fogs of a denseness that varied from a semi- 
opaque veil to a thickness that could be bitten, troubled us abcjut 
two-thirds of the entire nine days. Little wonder then that, with 
such an excuse for keeping under cover and out of the w-et, Tom 
Marshall and Frank Harrison had much company at their little 
table in the, smoke room every spare hour of the voyage. 
On Friday, afternoon, the 5th inst., just after lunch, and while 
tlie sun was shining brightly, a large iceberg was sighted abeam of 
us on the port sklc — that is, to the south of us. It was a sight 
we had all been looking for, and tlie boys piled out of the smoking 
room, gazed at our visitor or fellow traveler, and judged uautically 
or unnautically as to its size, distance from us, etc. Jack Fanning, 
an authority on such matters, by I'eason of his intimate acquaint- 
ance with the life of a fur sealer, poured forth data of an interesting 
nature in reference to icebergs and such like. 
A1)out an hour or two latei' a heavy fog bank suddenly fell on 
Un, and one could scarcely sec the bow or stern of the vessel from 
ai-n'flsh;ps. It grew rapidly colder and the fog gained in density, 
making life aboard the ship chilly and comparatively hazardous. 
The whistle was kept blowing every minute or so, while the en- 
gines were sometimes shut down to "dead slow" — about six miles 
an hour, just enough to give her steerage way. It went on this 
way all night, hut we all slept fairly well — ^that is to say, those 
whose staterooms were not too near the whistle — while Capt. 
Thomas, our skipper, and his first, second and third officers took 
our ship along in safety. During the night the thermometer fell 
to -HI degrees, within 8 degrees of freezing, making it certain that 
ice was somewhere close to us, and also making it necessary to heap 
on bedclothes, and any other clothes handy, so as to keep at all 
warm. 
Our Passenger List. 
It being the slack time for transatlantic travel westward, our 
passenger list was quite small, comparatively speaking. Our 
party consisted of sixteen souls, to which may be added seveii 
-other passengers. The full list was as follows: Mrs. and Mrs. 
Edward Banks, Mr. and Mrs. E. FI. Tripp, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. 
Burgess, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Crosby, Mrs. Wilcox, Miss May 
Bell Dobie, Miss Annie Lemon, Messrs. J. S, Fanning, H. E. 
Getchell, Fred Gilbert, F. .S. Harrison, Rolla O. Heikes, Tom A. 
Marshall, F. S. Parmelee, D. F. Pride, A. G. P. Segur, J, B. 
Walker, B. Leroy ^^■oodard. 
Mrs. Wilcox was the doctor's wife, blessed with a sweet voice 
that was always pleasantly listened to, particxilarly when the song 
was such a one as 'Annie Laurie," Mrs. Wilcox being a Scotch- 
woman who could interpret the words and pronounce them as only 
a Scotchwoman could. 
Chicken Broth and Afternoon Tea. 
The entrance of W'alter, the smoking room steward, at 11 A. M. 
evcrv day was the signal for a general cessation of whatever 
hostilities might be in progress at any of the tables in the smoking 
room. His arrival meant, chicken broth — and plenty of it — served 
in cups which contained, as Tom Marshall pvit it. "Ridiculously 
small quantities." Still three cups were generally all Mr. Marshall 
tackled each morning. 
At 4 P. M., Walter again made his appearance, but this time it 
was "afternoon tea," with .nil kinds of sweet fancy crackers and 
ginger snaps. ('N. B.— -Billy Crosby found a few damp ginger- 
xnaps in the pocket of bis "Indian" coat when he put it on at 
Interstate Park this afternoon. He came 'up to some of us, con- 
cealing something in his right hand, and said, "I'll bet I brought 
something away from the Cestrian none of you other fellows did!" 
So far as I know Billy is quite correct in his assertion.^ 
Well, it would have made the multitude of trapshooters who know 
all the boys so well stand agape if they could have seen how soon 
"this jack pot" was decided so as to clear the decks for "afternoon 
tea"! Some had one cup, some two, and a few had more. Walter's 
customers were many and well pleased. Chicken broth and after- 
no on tea were institutions well patronized in the Cestrian's smok- 
ing room. 
Was the Sea Roogh? 
It is a question that is scarcely likely to be settled to the 
satisfaction of all the Cestrian's passengers on this trip as to 
■whether or not the sea was what might be called rough, Those of 
us who had good sea legs and solid internal equipments are liable 
to argue that the voyage, although inclement, was a smooth one. 
On the other hand, there are others, several of them, who, less 
fortunately outfitted, are likely to argue contra. They had head- 
aches, cold hands and feet (some of the well people had "cold feet" 
of another kind occasionally); in fact, they had all the symptoms of 
seasickness, which demand a rough sea as an excuse for such 
unnatural conditions. 
Hear both sides: 
.Tack Fanning, the sailor of the party, par excellence: "Well, it 
was not rough to call it rough. Just a little kick now and then. 
I've seen it far rougher than we had it. 
Fred Pride: "No, I wouldn't say we had any rough sea. Give 
me a light, please, somebody. Thank yon." ' 
Frank Harrison: "It didn't bother nic any. Who .says it was 
a rough trip? Lord, I've crossed when it (The boys choked 
him at that point.) 
Ed Banks: "It depends on how people feel as to whether thev 
think the sea rough or not. As for myself, I've been hungry all 
the time. May I smokg?" (This latter part addressed to some one 
who can't stand tobacco smoke on board ship.) 
Now-, some of the others: 
T-Bill Crosby: "Say, if I ever go over to England again, it'll 
be to stay there. I'd never come back over this bit of water again. 
^\ hen I put my feet on the dock at Boston I'll jump up and crack 
ray heels together and take a fall out of Fritz Gilbert there, just 
to show what I think of this ocean traveling. Land's good enough 
for me. I don't know whether it's been what you might call 
rough,, but it has been as rough as I want it." 
Fred Gilbert: "Some of you ducks inay think it's not been 
rougli, but I don't want it any rougher. Remember that night 
when I was handicapped three yards more than 1 thought I was? 
Well, if you don"t remember it, the steward does. You mayn't 
call it rough; perhaps it hasn't been, but I'm mighty glad it's been 
no worse." . 
R. C). Heikes: "Some of you people make me sick even now 
to hear you talk. Rough? Of course it's been rough. But if it 
hadn't been for my lumbago I'd have been in evidence at meals 
more than I was." 
Tom Marshall: "I don't think it has really been very rough, 
but there's been enough sea on to satisfy all niy demands." Then 
in an aside he added, "Pride, I wish you and Harrison would put 
up your old pipes: you do smoke the worst tobacco," etc. 
Chorus from Getchell, Leroy, Budd and others: "Yes, this room 
may be a smoking room, but you fellows needn't smoke all the 
time just because you feel well." 
F. S. Parmelee :_ "I know it's been rough, but I've not been 
sick a minute. Y^ou fellows all thought I would be, and so did 
T. but I fooled all of us. Where'g Walter? Somebody ring the 
bell." ... - 5 
E. FI. Tripp, after refusing to be interviewed on the subject, 
courteously "withdrew his objection, but was quite non-committal 
in his remarks: "What with sleeping, eating and playing shufiie- 
board, I've had no time to consider weather conditions nor the 
state of the ocean. My few spare momants have been taken up 
with examining the chart of our route in conjunction with Fanning, 
who can put his finger in an instant on the e:<.act spot on that liluir! 
where our boat is. Jack's a good sailor, as yvell as a good shot." 
Now, was th? sea rough or was it not? ■ ' 
A Flavor of Paris. 
After the shoot at Glasgow was over, Messrs. Marshall, Heikes, 
Fannuig; Leroy and Gilbert went over for a "brief visit to Paris. 
Their tales of life in Paris mu.st really be heard to. be appreciated. 
While there they met Mr. Emile Werk and his daughter ('two of 
our fellow passengers on the Canadian), and -were Mr^ Werk's 
guests at' a dinner one evening. 
Tom Marshall was full of his tr'P when we first went aboard 
the Cestrian, and made us all believe he' had been interpreter for 
the crowd. Gilbert wouldn't stand for stich talk, but said: "Tom 
never spoke of French all the while we were in Paree, except once 
or twice, when he said, 'We, we,' reminding me for all the world 
of a comic man on a stage trying to squeak like a small pig!" 
But those who went to Paris sincerely regretted that "the whole 
bunch" had not been along. Thej- were enthusiastic about every- 
thing they saw and did, saying that the Paris part of the trip was 
the fiest portion- of the whole, . 1 , 
How They Ali Feel Atowt It. 
The boys are really glad to be back again, but are unanlmou's 
that the "European trip of ISHU"' made by American trapshooters 
Avill be more and more appreciated by each member of the party 
as time goes on. Nothitig "is more tirhig than sightseeiiig com- 
bined with a rush that is due to e.xtremely limited time. Days in 
England are long at this season of the year, and hours for .sleep 
are proportionately few. The boys got tired at the start. Meals 
had to be taken at irregular hours, and when aiid where they could 
be obtained. The members of the team never got fully rested up, 
and they soon began to ache to get back home again. They are 
how beginning to appreciate more fully what a time we've had. 
The trip was a success, too— successful in the very highest 
degree. Not a match was lost, and not a trophy got away from 
the .'Vmcricans. Crosby won the open Anglo-American pigeon 
trophy, at the Welsh Harp grounds at Hendon, and owns a very 
handsome cup in consequence. He also won a cup in open cont- 
petiti<m at the Middlesex Gun Club's grounds the day after the 
final in the Anglo-.^merican team race. Gilbert won an extremely 
handsome and valuable trophy on the same day, the ctip being 
presented for competition among the members of the American 
team only. Parmelee won a live-bird trophy in open competition 
at the Welsh Harp grounds the day previous to the first of the 
Anglo-.Vmcrican series, and also won a silvei- cup put up for 
open competition at Glasgow the day before the match with the 
Scotchmen. 
Why We Won. 
Since the team made its records in England and in Scotland the 
English sporting papers have with a unanimity that is remarkable 
laid tlie e.xtraordiiiary success of the team at the door ot the guns 
and ammunition. Most of them seem to refuse to acknowledge 
even a possibility that American skill with the shotgun had as 
much to do with the series of victories as had the superior am- 
munition and guns of the members of the American team. 
It is true — and each member of the team will agree with me in 
this— that our guns and our ammunition were better adapted for 
target shooting than those of either the English or the Scotch. 
But our boys knew the game so much better than did their op- 
ponents; thej' have, by dint of long practice, gained a degree of 
skill that stood them in good stead "when they went up against 
. the hard conditions they had to combat in the matches in London. 
Targets were thrown in a manner never seen over here, yet the 
boys did not fail to "catch on" quickly. With onh' two scanty 
half-days of practice, and within a week of getting ashore, they 
mastered the game sufficiently well to stand up and concede heavy 
odds successfully. It seems to me that showed skill of the highest 
class. 
Both the Engli.sh and the Scotch used guns really unsuited for 
the sport; and their loads were often "squibby," The latter phase 
was only the natural outcome of using guns too light for the job 
they had to perform. When we go out to break targets, we try 
to lueak as many as possible — no dropping for place. Why not, 
then, use guns and loads that will enable one to break more targets 
'.han one can score with lighter guns and smaller loads? Wiiit is 
the use of going after elephants with a game gun and snipe loads? 
As for. the more sporting appearnce of the position of the Eng- 
lish and the Scotch at the traps: When one is at the traps the 
idea is to break the targets or grass the bird as surely as possible. 
Why then adopt a position, however, much prettier, that gives 
either target or bird a good start? 
One Idea of Inanimate Target Shooting. 
Over here it seems to me the idea of inanimate target shooting is 
to give those who are fond of a gun a chance to use and show 
their skill in competition when the law relating to close seasons 
on game forbids such use and exhibition afield. It is also to 
acquaint a shooter with the swing of a gun, lead on a bird, etc.; 
in" short, to familiarize him with handling his gun and getting used 
to pulling the trigger when he is right. This we claim for target 
shooting to a very large extent. 
I have a personal acquaintance with men who never fired a gun 
until they shot at "inanimate birds"; yet they, after a short while, 
could go out into tlie woods and do good work alongside of an 
old-time field shot. Of course they didn't go along through the 
brush or in the field with the gun firmly fixed at the shoulder; but 
then there was no swiftly thrown target to be sprung from a 
trap 18yds. away, and no pigeon to be liberated from one of five 
traps 5yds. apart and 30yds. away from the shooter. 
Nine-tenths of our game is put up within 20yds. of the man with 
the gun. and the same proportion, I imagine, is killed within oOyd.s. 
of the gun muzzle. My experience in England while shooting all 
kinds of game is precisely the same, with the possible exception 
of driven grouse, partridges and pheasants. Again my belief - is 
that less pellets of shot will bring down a wild bird than would 
stop a pigeon within bounds or grind an inanimate target to dust. 
An inanimate target, too, starts far faster than any bird can, but it 
soon reaches the limit of its' flight; but that limit is generally be- 
yond the range of any gun and ammunition belonging to a 12- 
gauge. 
It has been said in some of the English .sporting papers that 
because our boys could break targets with a precision that was 
remarkable, and score pigeon after pigeon with a regularity that 
perforce carried victory in its train, it did not follow that they 
were good shots on game. This may certainly be said, but I caii 
vouch for it from personal experience with members of the team 
that, whether in America, in England or in Scotland, and whether 
at our quail, ruffed grouse or ducks; at a cover side in the C>icl Coun- 
try or knee high in a field of wurzels with a covey of birds well scat- 
tered; or in a mantlet on a moor with grouse whizzing bv and 
over, I do not believe there was one member of the team that 
won the honors in London or in Glasgow that would not be found 
a worthj- competitor, and one hard to beat, in the friendly rivalrv 
and exhibition of skill to be witnessed in all such situatioiis. 
_While the criticisms above referred to were offered in the best 
of spirit, it seems to me that there ought to be something said on 
the opposite side, for surely there was much that could be said. 
What 1 have written was not placed on paper with a view to be- 
littling the skill of the opponents of tlie American team, but rather 
with an idea of placing the latter in what I consider to be their 
rightful position in the ranks of skillful marksmen. I wrote it, 
too, not from the standpoint of a competitor, for better men than 
myself did the work, but rather to give the ideas of one who 
watched the shooting of all the men, w-hatever their nationality, 
with equal care and with every intention to be tborouglily imparti.il. 
As for our hosts, too much cannot be said as to the' hospitable 
manner in which we were entertained from the moment we set 
foot on the landing stage at Liverpool. Mr. A. H. Gale and his 
fellow members of the Middlesex Gun Club, of England, and Mr. 
F. Ingram Annan and his compatriots, who looked after our 
comfoi-ts so thoughtfully while we were in Glasgow, will long be 
remembered with the best of feelings by every member of" the 
American party, both ladies and gentlemen. If we can only per- 
suade some British trapshooters to come over and pay us a visit 
they can rest assured that, no n-iatter how far ilistant the day, they 
will find that "London and Glasgow in 1901" has nit been for 
gotten. 
A Possible British Invasion. 
Apropos of the above, there is some chance that a team of Eng- 
lish, Scotch and Irish trapshooters may find their way over here 
in the near future, for the purpose of making a tour and trying 
conclusions with us once more — but this time on our own soih 
The matter was broached at the Middlesex Gun Clidi's grounds 
during the international shoot, and the suggestion that- h team 
.should come over met with much favorable comment. Let them 
come, and wc will do our best to show them that two c;m play at 
the game i>f hospitality. 
And if tliey should heat lis. they will find tb.at we can take a lick- 
mgiti the right manner and in the proper spirit, as the\' did, doing our 
best to riv:i] them in that respect. The genemus and open-hearted 
way in which they applauded our victories over them is something 
in i'tsejf well ijvorth remembering,

Intefstate Association Tottrnament, Jamesto-wn 
Jamestown, N, Y., July 11. — I will say for the shooters in gen- 
eral and the talent in particular they have made one of the greatest 
errors of their lives by not attending the tournament just closed 
at Jamestown, N. Y. In the first place, the city itself is well worth 
a visit, situated -as it is upon Lake Chautauqua, where the summer 
days are pleasant and the evenings cool, inviting re.stful sleep 
under a blanket. If one is so inclined, a visit to Celeron-on-the- 
Lake, offers amusements in a variety of forms to suit the most 
fastidious tastes. An evening sail on the lake is a realistic dream. 
Jamestowii is a city of some 30,000 inhabitants, a manufacturing 
town, containing many beautiful buildings, and situated at the 
southern end of Lake Chautauqua, and is classed as a very charm- 
ing summer resort. 
The Jamestown Gun Club, a comparatively new organization, con- 
tains some fiftj' members, many of whom are not yet accustomed to 
shooting at the traps. Some of them feel that they were not in 
high enou.gh class to compete in an open tournament. They are 
practicing, and we will hear from them later. The tournament was 
a success in every particular, the weather was fair, and all par- 
ticipants concurred they had had a most enjoyable time. 
Among the visitors from out of town I mention the Messrs, G. F., 
F. E., S. T., and L. E, Mallory, of Parkersburg, W. Va.— and fine 
gentlemen they are; Mr. Bates, of Oil City; Mr. L. F. Fleming, of 
Pittsburg: Mr. North, of Alleghany, Pa., and Mr. H. Kirkover, of 
Buffalo, N. Y. " 
Among the talent present were Mr, Courtney, oi the Remington 
Arms Company: Mr. Hull, of the Parker Gun Company; Messrs. 
Keller and Mackie, of the Peters Cartridge Company,. and Mr. 
Colville, of the Dupont Powder Company. 
The executive committee of the Jamestown Gun Club were very 
solicitous that their visitors should have an enjoyable time, and 
to that end a private launch was chartered under the direction of 
Mr. ArbuQkle. A party of visiting shooters were taken for a twenty- 
five-mile sail on the lake Wednesday nipht. and I will say that 
those of the shooters who failed to be with the sailing party, but 
preferred other amusements, have missed a pleasurable experience 
that should fill them with regret. 
Appended are the scores:
