Missottff State Totttnament. 
Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 17.— The twenty-fifth anntial tourna- 
ment of the Missouri State Game and Fish Protective Association 
opened tliis morning at Elliott's Blue iliver Shooting Park. A 
nasty drizzling- rain continued throughout tlie day, and it was 10 
o'cUick before the four-man team shoot commenced. Each man 
shot at 15 Jive birds, or 60 in all to the team. Tlie Students' Gun 
Club, of St. Louis, won the medal with the fine score of 59 out 
of a possible 60 birds. The Michigan Park Club, o£ Kansas 
City, won second^ $100 cash. The St. Louis Shooting Association, 
of St. Louis, and the Richmond Gun Club, of Richmond, divided 
third with 56 kills. The St. Joe Gun Club took fourth with a 
score of 54. and fifth went to the Belt Line Club, of Kansas City, 
while the O. K. and Kansas City Clubs, of Kansas City, tied for 
si.xth place with 51 kills. 
Had the weather been good, the birds would have been a good 
,Iol, but owing to the rain they were slow to take wing, and did not 
trouble the shooters in making high scores.. 
The next on programme was the Interstate' event. 25 birds, en- 
trance $32.50. divided Rose System. A medal to go to the high 
man. After 15 birds had been shot, it was growing dark, and the 
shoot was postponed rmtil to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock. Eight 
men had killed 15 straight, and as they are quite evenly matched 
an interesting iinish is looked for to-morrow. 
.'Vt the annual meeting of the Association to-night, J. H. Phelps, 
of St. Joseph, was elected President; F. J. .Smith, Vice-President; 
F. B. Cunningham, Secretary; Frank Brenson, Treasurer. 
The ne-xt annual meeting will be held at St. Joseph, Mo., date 
to be set later. A circular inviting all the gun clubs in the State 
to become members of the Association was ordered sent to each

G. L. O., Canton, O. — Can you define for me succinctly thei 
word duck? Of course, the dictionary is accessible to me, and 
also the enclycopedia, but both volumes in characterizing this 
bird employ technical terms, some of which I do not understand. 
I want something that is plain and simple — couched in every dayi 
language, comprehensible to common people. Ans. Your trouble 
is one which is common. We recommend to you the opening 
chapter of a series of articles published in Forest and Stream 
two years ago, entitled "American Wild Fowl and How to Take 
Them." The special reference which you need is Forest and 
Stream, Vol. LV., page 186, Sept. 8, 1900. The same material, 
somewhat revised, is found in Grinnell's "American Duck Shoot- 
ing, page 19. This volume contains also descriptions of all the 
North American geese, ducks and swans, with full accounts of all 
the methods of shooting them, and descriptions and plans of bat- 
teries, boats, decoys, etc. Price $3.50.

At Du Bois, Pa., Sept. 11, Mr. L. B. Fleming was high gun, 
with a score of 191 out of 200; he used Infallible. In the compe- 
tition for the Dibner cup, the four-man team of the North Side 
Gun Club won, and three of the four used Infallible. Mr. Jack 
Williams won the Custer medal, emblematic of the championship 
of the Du Bois Rod and Gun Club; he used Infallible. Mr. L. H. 
Higgins writes the Laflin & Rand Powder Co.: "I have shotgun 
shells loaded with your shotgun sm.okeless that have been loaded 
three years now, and are as good as when first loaded. These 
shells have been on board ship all this time." 
"Dewar's Scotch" is characterized as the king of whiskies and 
the whisky of kings. Its several brands, advertised by Frederick 
Glassup, of New York, are welcome additions alike to the table 
at home, and to the camp abroad. Those who in these days drink 
Scotch with their dinners — and they are many — are familiar with 
the reputation of this high class whisky. 
Messrs. Schoverling, Daly & Gales, 302-304 Broadway, New , 
York, have issued a catalogue of special excellence in the way of 
artistic quality, and of special completeness in the way of prices, 
descriptive detail and fine illustrations. It treats of shotgtms, 
rifles, pistols, powders, ammunition and fishing rods. It may be 
obtained on application to Messrs. Schoverling, Daly & Gales. 
The Lefever Arms Co., of Sj'racuse. N. Y., calls attention to 
their new gun, "I grade — Durston Special." The barrels are of 
Dura-Nitro steel (black), 28. 30 and 32 inch barrels, 12 gauge 
only, bored for trap, field and brush shooting. The price is $39; 
with ejector, $52. This gun is illustrated and described in our \ 
business columns. . 
The U. M. C. Co., Bridgeport, Conn., is now supplying .22-short 
smokeless cartridges with inside, as well as the regular outside, 
lubrication. This ntw system of lubrication makes the cartridges 
clean in handling. They will not lead the barrel, and will be 
found accurate, sure fire and smokeless. 
It is often very convenient to know of a practical gunsmith ' 
who can attend to the various repairs that we constantly need for 
our guns. The advertisement of Frank Nowicki will undoubtedly . 
interest many of our readers.
