Arkansas Championships. 
Stuttgart, Ark., April 21.— The struggle for championship 
honors and individual supremacy with the scatter gun g®es merrily 
on. Apparently there is no lack of aspirants for the respective 
trophies. The possession of both the target and live bird cham- 
pionship and emblems was sought to-day. In consequence, a dual 
match took place. The first of these to be decided was the target 
championship, in which G. \V. Clements, of Pine Bluff, and C. D. 
Conrey, of this place, were the principals, the former being the 
holder. This contest was one of the greatest that ever happened, 
and was spirited from start to finish, while it required an extra 
string of 25 to decide the winner. In a measure, the result was 
somewhat surprising, as Clements is an old campaigner, and it was 
generally conceded that he would win. On the other hand, 
Conrey, while a good sweepstake shot, was engaged in but few 
individual contests, so that his performance in a race of this 
nature was a matter of conjecture. That he was in good form, 
however, was evidenced by his breaking of 73 out of 75 in practice 
just prior to the match. 
In the early part of the race he appeared a trifle nervous, as he 
lost three of his first seven, and finished his string of 25 with only 
20 to the good, while Clements had accounted for 22. Thus his 
prospects at this stage did not appear very brilliant. In the next 
string, though, he pulled himself together, and bj r some superb 
shooting, broke out straight. Clements in the meantime had 
dropped two, so that the result was a tie, each having broken 
45. To reach a decision an extra 25 were shot, and it is here 
Conrey won the match, as lie broke 23 to Clements' 22. This also 
was hotly contested, as the loss of Clements' 24th decided it, 
Clements has held the trophy since last summer, and defended St 
successfully four times. The targets were thrown swift and low, 
and the wind was blowing a gale. Conrey shot Peters Ideal shells 
loaded with Dupont powder. The scores :

Peters Cartridge Co 's Trophy. 
This emblem, "which represents the live-bird championship, al- 
though in existence less than two months, has stirred up a won- 
derful amount of interest, and there are a number of ambitious 
shots who would like to gain possession thereof. J. A. Coles, of 
Pine Bluff, won it about a month ago in open competition, and 
ever since, it has been J. E. Balle's ambition to wrest it from him. 
To-day he again essayed the task, but as in his former attempt, he 
was not quite equal to it, though he made a much better showing, 
and up to the 17th round had Coles guessing as to the outcome. 
At this juncture he drew several hard birds, which seemed to un- 
nerve him, as he lost four in rapid succession, and with it his 
chances for the trophy. Up to this time, he showed good form 
and judgment, and did some really pretty work. The final score 
was: Coles 23, Balle 18. The match, however, was not as one-sided 
as the scores would indicate. 
The birds were a very ordinary lot, notwithstanding the high 
wind. Paul R. Litzke refereed hoik matches, and J, B. Speers, of 
Pine Bluff, acted in the capacity of scorer. Following are the 
scores :

Boston Gun Club- 
Boston, April 16. — The regular sveekly shoot of the Boston Gun 
Club was held on the grounds to-day, and though another holi- 
day was coming later in the week, nineteen shooters were more 
than ready to shoot, and in fact just a few of them could not find 
shooting enough. 
The prize match, which is now nearing completion, was the 
interesting event, with Hawkins and Phillips seemingly well satis- 
fied with each other's company in first position, 21 being the re- 
ward of their efforts. Second position was taken by Frank, 
Getchell and Spencer, all shooting from the 18yd. mark. Other

April 23. — The second last prize shoot of the Boston Gun Club's 
spring series was held on their grounds to-day, and, conditions 
being somewhat of those that delight a trapshooter, thirteen en- 
thusiasts were present to do or die. Among the new visitors was 
Melvin, of Whitinsville, making his initial shoot on our grounds, 
and though just a little out of form, was decidedly in it in more 
cases than one. The prize match, though only a small entry, 
furnished some of the best shooting seen in the present series. Le- 
roy's shooting in this event could not be bettered, centering all 
his targets in real expert fashion, and leaving no doubt of a dusted 
target. Twenty-four breaks were recorded against him, the highest 
score made this season on the grounds. Next in line were Frank 
and Hawkins, with 20, two targets ahead of Me'.vin and Williams, 
in third position.

Asheville Tournament. 
Asheville, N. C, April 18.— There was a "fine gathering of 
shooters at the clay pigeon tournament given by Maj. E. P. 
McKissick and Col. J. T. Anthony, at Asheville, April 15, 16 and 17. 
Those who visited this beautiful "land of the sky" were de- 
lighted with the grand mountain scenery, the splendid hotel ac- 
commodations of the Battery Park,, and they had the pleasure of 
seeing some of the best shooting that has ever been done from the 
long distance marks. 
The gathering made up in quality anything which might have 
been lacking in quantity, and the general verdict was that the shoot 
was one of the most pleasant meets of the year. All those who 
attended said they intended to come back and bring their friends 
and families with them to the tournament to be held here Aug. 
5, 6, 7 and 8. 
At the conclusion of the shoot a handsome cut-glass and silver 
punch bowl was presented to Maj. McKissick, the genial pro- 
prietor of the Batterj' Park Hotel, in token of the good will and 
esteem of the sportsmen present who had received such kind and 
hospitable treatment at his hands. The presentation speech was 
made by that veteran sportsman and gentleman Col. J. T. 
Anthony, of Charlotte, N. C, and in well-chosen words the 
Colonel expressed to Maj. McKissick the esteem and friendship of 
the shooters present. In an appropriate reply, the Major assured 
his friends that their friendship and esteem were deeply ap- 
preciated and returned many fold by himself, and he said that 
their gift would be kept and cherished to the memory of that happy 
occasion. 
The old Bald Eagle (Rolla Heikes) was then called on for a 
speech, and when '"Pop" sat down he had in well-chosen language 
expressed his own and the sentiments of every shooter present by 
saying that he had never been with a better crowd of sportsmen 
and gentlemen, and that he would take great pleasure in coming 
back and bringing his friends with him at the first opportunity. 
Others followed in the same strain, and it was near the hour of 
2 in the morning when the tuneful chords of "Pops" banjo had 
died out and "Jocko" had danced his last buck for the night. 
The scores which follow will show that the shooting was ex- 
ceptionally good, for the targets were thrown 50 measured yards. 
The records made by Heikes, Baker, Lawrence, Eick, Sauls and 
others were really phenomenal, 
Heikes. and Baker tied for general high average, with 563 
broken out of a possible 600, which is an average of 93.8 per cent. 
Heikes shot the entire programme from the 20yd. mark, and it is 
believed that his record on the same number of shots from that 
distance has never been equaled. Baker's shooting is also highly 
creditable, as the "Boy Wonder" shot from 18yds. the first day, 
and from the 20yd. mark the last two days. 
L. Z. Lawrence made a truly wonderful record when he scored 
93 straight from the 20yd. mark. He also broke 98 out of 100 from 
the same mark, and in this he had company in Winchester Fox, 
wha^ made the same score from the same distance. This score is 
believed to be the record for these conditions. 
To give special mention - for each individual's creditable per- 
formances would be an arduous task indeed, so the scores are left 
to tell the story. 
The first day high average was won by W. A. Baker and Capt: 
Ben Eick; the second day Pop Heikes took the honors, and the 
third day L. Z. Lawrence was high gun. 
Capt. Ben Eick and Winchester Fox tied for second general 
high average with 558 out of a possible 600, or 93 per cent. 
The trade was represented by Rolla O. Heikes, representing the 
Union Metallic Cartridge Co., and the American E. C. and Schultze 
Powder Co.; John Avery and J. L. Saunders, representing the 
Union Metallic Cartridge Co.; Charles Harris and H. B. Lemcke, 
representing the Peters Cartridge Co., and Kings Powder Co.; 
L. D. Thomas and L. Z. Lawrence, representing the Laflin & 
Rand Powder Co.; H. P. Collins and Capt. Ben Eick, represent- 
ing the Dupont and Hazard powder companies; J. Nichols and 
A. H. Fox, representing the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. 
W. A. Baker, who tied for first general high average, and Capt. 
Ben Eick and A. H. Fox, who tied for second general average, all 
used Winchester repeating shotguns and Winchester factory loaded 
Leader shells.

the arrival of the 1:10 P, M. train from the Broad street station. 
Dr. G. D. B. Darby, H. Landis David, and Walter H. Sterling 
will serve as the handicap committee, and at the hands of these 
three gentlemen all contestants may feel assured they will receive 
fair treatment. As a large entry is expected, the handicap com-

and are only a short distance from the Holmesburg Junction sta- 
tion, on the New York division of the Pennsylvania R. R. The 
grounds are equipped with a large club house and two sets of

The Sergeant System. 
Lvnn, Mass., April 24.— Having read the trapshooting rules of 
the Interstate Association, 1902, am unable to recognize Rule 21 as 
the "Sergeant system," 
Certain parts of the same look familiar, inasmuch as said rule 
calls for three traps, also "that the firing points shall be in the 
segment of a circle." 
Is the system described in Rule 21 the original Sergeant system 
oris it an error? C. F. Lambert. 
[We presume that our correspondent refers to Section 5 of Rule 
21, which reads as follows: "The targets shall be from known 
traps." As presented to the Interstate executive committee by the 
Interstate Association's committee on the recently revised rules, 
Section 5 aforementioned read as follows: "The targets shall be 
from unknown traps." Mr. Banks, the secretary of the Interstate 
Association, at a meeting of the executive committee in session 
to take final action in respect to the adoption of the revised rules, 
called attention to said clause, and maintaining in respect to it 
that unknown traps as set forth by the committee on rules was 
not the Sergeant system, and that it was therefore erroneous. It 
was thereupon changed to read as at present embodied in the 
rules; that is to say, "The targets shall be from known traps." 
Replying specifically to our correspondent's question, Rule 21, 
Section 5, is erroneous and should be changed tQ read as at first 
presented by the committee on rules; that is, "The targets shall 
be from imknown traps."]

Length of Gun Barrels. 
Cleveland, O,, April 23.— The discussion in the columns of 
Forest and Stream regarding the merits of the modern small- 
bore rifle has been very interesting, but the shotgun, it seems, is 
not getting its share of attention. Now, will some of your learned 
experts who know everything about all sorts of guns, and more, 
too, please inform us as to the value of short shotgun barrels? 
Will the 26in. barrel kill as far and shoot as accurately as the 30 
or 32in. ones? And how light a 10-gauge gun having good 
Damascus barrels is it safe to use if a person loads 4drs. of nitro 
powder? A Duck Hunter.

C. H. F., Chicago, 111. — There is a formula for ascertaining the 
point of the compass from a watch dial in connection with the 
sun. This is used sometimes by woodsmen. Can you or any of 
your readers give me the information? Ans. To determine the 
points of the compass from a watch dial in connection with the 
sun, hold the watch so that the short hand points toward the sun. 
South then lies exactly midway between the short hand of the 
watch and the numerals XII. on the dial. Thus, if it is 4 o'clock, 
and the timepiece is held as directed, the numeral II. will point 
toward exact south.

Shakespeare reels and baits have come to be very well known 
within the last few years, and Mr. William Shakespeare, Jr., has 
inaugurated a bait-casting tournament by which, we are told, con- 
testants may without expense make all competing trials at their 
homes and win some qf the prizes which he offers. The Shakes- 
peare reels and baits are reported to do marvelous things in the 
way of catching fish, and the matter is worth investigating. The 
terms of the competitions, application blanks and other informa- 
tion may be had bv writing to Mr. Shakespeare at Kalamazoo, 
Mich.— Adv. ' 
Since the days of the early French explorers, more than 200 
years ago, Michigan has been famous for its fishing, and espe- 
cially for its trout streams. Of course the grayling was dis- 
covered there at a much later date. In recent years rainbow trout 
and German brown trout have been introduced, and have at- 
tained a fabulous size. The Pere Marquette Railroad reaches the 
best fishing territory in the State, and H. F. Moeller, G. P. A., 
Detroit, Mich., offers, as stated in the road's advertisement in an- 
other column, to furnish an illustrated booklet telling of the fish- 
ing and hunting in Michigan. — Adv. 
"Where to go fishing" is interesting a great many people now. 
It is also the name of a book giving accurate information about 
the streams and lakes of northern Michigan, one of the best fish- 
ing regions in the United States. The edition for 1902 contains a 
great amount of information as to the kinds of fish to be caught, 
names of hotels, and rates, distances from the Grand Rapids & 
Indiana Railroad and many other things. It will be sent for. 2 
cents postage by C L. Lockwood, G. P. & T. A., Grand Rapids 
& Indiana Railway, Grand Rapids, Mich.— Adv. 
In the discussion of big bores vs. small bores which continually

A. H. Funke, of 103 Duane street, New York, is the agent for 
these powerful arms, and he also is prepared to supply applicants 
a catalogue of sportsmen's specialties. — Adv. 
In these days the yachting interest is not confined to this con- 
tinent and its wide distribution as indicated by the advertisement 
of Mr. C. N. Boyn, yacht broker, of Paris, who offers himself as

going abroad. — 44v^ * - '
