I inclose a clipping from the Montreal Family Herald and 
Weekly Star of Oct. 22, thinking same may be of interest: 
"A peculiar incident happened at the rifle ranges at Victoria, 
Australia, recently. A man was taking aim at 400yds., and just 
as be fired, several magpies flew in front of him at about 200yds. 
distance. The bullet struck one of the magpies, and brought it 
to the ground, and a bullseye was registered by the marker for the 
shot. A bullseye and 'magpie' were thus scored at one and the 
same time." " E. F. B.

The press criticisms of Annie Oakley's (Mrs. F E Butler) new 
3lay, ".The Western Girl," are eminently gratifying both as to the 
iierits of Miss Oakley s acting ability, and the merit of the clav i 
tself. From The Call of Nov. 7 we take the following- " 
-. . J - J , ,. , — ^- a melodrama 
constructed on new and novel lines by Langdon McCormick re- 
ilete with thrilling situations and based upon a story that' has 
lever before been told upon the stage. For the lovers of thi^^ 
:md of play this is the best that has been seen in Paterson for 1 
cng time. The scenery reproduces the picture of the wild and 
voolly West in its early days, and gives a vivid setting for the 
vord picture ot the bandits and outlaivs of the plains, whoae 
nachinations are foiled by "The Western Girl" at everv fnrn 
nth her trusty rifle and good horse Bess, whose .Tame is hera H^d 
s being almost equal to Miss Oakley herself." Miss Oaklev vvas 
he recipient of many boquets and beany congratulations at ihl^ 
lerformance.

After the first of Dcl ember there will be ooen livp-hiVrl 
very Saturday on the grounds of J, H. 6ut'^^^te^ ne^ Carlstadt^ 
Mr. Wnl. P. Dutcher, of Paterson, N. J., writes us as follows: 
"The Jackson Park Gun Club will hold a live-bird shoot on Sat- 
urday, Nov. 22. at their grounds on the road to Singac, N. J., 
beginning at 10 A. M. sharp. The opening event will be at 10 
birds. S5, and as soon after as possible, a 25-bird event at .$10, birds 
extra. If time allows, there will be extra events. Lunch and re- 
freshments will be served. At the club house plenty of shells can 
be obtained. The club house will be heated comfortably for shoot- 
ers and friends. We expect this to be our banner shoot, and 
will i:)rovide the best birds that can be bought. We will look 
after the boys." 
It 
The cuts svhich illustrate the proper use of the shotgun, 
published in our trap columns this week, are taken from the 
Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News (London^, and are en- 
titled "At a Shooting .School; Stages through which the Tyro has 
to Pas.s." Tliey are specially interesting inasmuch as they de- 
pict the thorough schooling from elementary principles to finished 
performance. They are valuable also in their instructiveness to 
those who are studying the art of shooting with the shotgun. 
From the Baltimore Sun we clip the following: "On Tuesday, 
Nov. 18, the second Cecil county trap tournament will be held 
under the management of Messrs. PI. Linn Worthington, Henry 
-S, White and Cecil Kirk, on the grounds of the Gun C!Uib, at 
Rising Sun. The programme includes five target events in the 
forenoon and six in the afternoon, the last being for the Cecil 
championship at 50 targets. The main prize is a gold medal, and 
ten others will be merchandise." 
In the second contest of the Crescent Athletic Club for the 
November cup, at Bay Ridge, L. I., on Saturday of last week, Mr. 
H. B. Vanderveer was first with a score of 49 out of a possible 50. 
Mr. L. C. Hopkins was a close second with 48. Mr, W. W. 
Marshall scored the first win on the cup on the previous Satur- 
day. It thus will be of greater interest during the remainder of 
the month than if one contestant scored two wins in succession. • 
Mr. C. V. V. Gunther, besides shooting skillfully and success- 
fully in other events, recently made his second win on the cup of 
the Blooming Grove Park. Association. A third win by him and 
it becomes his personal property. From the 28yd. mark he is now 
put back to the 30}'d. mark, without any bird allowance, which 
makes him a scratch man. 
The Carlstadt, N. J.. Gun Club will hold a Thanksgiving Day 
shoot, open to all. excepting a club event, the main prize of 
which is a large plump goose, whose feelings are in touch with 
the holiday season. Turkeys and other poultry will be offered in 
abundance as prizes. 
At the North Carolina State shoot, under the management of 
the Raleigh Gun Club, the State championship trophy was won 
by Mr. J. D, Carrier, of Asheville, with a score of 71 out of a 
possible 75. Col. James T. Anthony, of Charlotte, was a close 
second with 70.

The five-man team match, an annual target event between Har- 
vard and Pennsylvania universities, was held on Soldiers' Field,

Each man shot at 50 targets. 
Nov. 14 has been fixed upon as the date for the Intercollegiate 
trapshooting contest between teams of Harvard, Yale, Pennsyl- 
vania, Columbia and Princeton, to be held on the grounds of the 
latter LTniversity.

The Fulton Gun Club, of Brooklyn, N. Y., will hold a prize

ON LONG ISLAND. 
Raleigh Gun Clafe. 
Raleigh, N. C. Oct. 31.— Our second annual tourttament, Oct. 
29 and 30, has come to a successful finish. Although our pro- 
gramme should have attracted more shooters, it is just on the eve 
.of game shooting, and this may be one reason for a small at- 
tendance. If the trapshooting fraternity had been picked, we 
could not have had a nicer representation of amateurs and manu- 
facturers' agents. All w-ere old friends, having been with us quite 
a number of times before, except E. H. Storr. and it was only a 
short while before we all knew him well and felt at home Just as 
with the others. A more genial, gentlemanly representative never 
went on the road, and we want him again. He didn't fail to hold 
up his people's goods either, as he was high average for the 
tournament shoot. 
The following representatives were with us: Capt. Ben Eick, 
PI. P. Collins, L. D. Thomas, E. H. Storr, J. Avery, Chas. 
Nichols. 
Other visitors present were Col. J. T. Anthony, Charlotte, N. G. ; 
J. D. Carrier, Asheville, N. C. ; T. F. Stearns, Newport News. Va. ; 
P. J. Gallagher and J. W. S. Butt, Portsmouth, Va.; P. G. Welch, 
Greensboro. Quite a number of other shooters participated, but did 
not shoot through the programme. 
The first day a stiff wind played hide-and-seek with the targets, 
and tlixoughout the whole shoot the traps would break about one- 
third of the targets thrown, causing no little trouble to each 
shooter, and no doubt pulled their average down. 
The State championship trophy was won by J. D. Carrier, of 
Asheville, N. C, making 71 out of 75. Col. Anthony, of Charlotte, 
N. C. was second with 70. Jas. I. Johnson, of our club, shot 
well and came out third highest in the contest. The following 
scores were made:

The Harvard Shooting Clob. 
Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 10.— I send you inclosed the scores made 
last Saturday in the match of the Harvard Shooting Club vs 
Pennsylvania Shooting Club. The shoot was held on Soldiers' 
Field over a magautrap and under very unfavorable weather con- 
ditions, there being a high wind, which made the birds turn and 
twist like jacksnipe. The light was also poor. The fact that the 
match was held the morning of the big football .game between the 
same universities probably had something to do with the poor 
scores. 
Both teams hope to decidedly better their scores in the Inter- 
collegiate shoot, to be held at Princeton on Nov 14 where five 
universities— Harvard. Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania and Columbia 
— have entered teams.

Brooklyn Gon Clab. 
Brooklyn, L. L, Nov. 8,— A moderately stiff wind made the target 
flights somewhat erratic, and the scores were affected accordingly, 
b. Glover was easily the highest performer, though he shot in only 
a hmited number of the events. Mr. T. E. Batten tried his new 
guri for the first time on targets, and was much pleased with its 
performance. He has not shot at the traps in some years, but is 
gaining in form, and soon will be on even terms with the leaders.

WESTERN TRAPS. 
Garfield Gan Clob. 
Chicago, 111.— The appended scores were made on our grounds 
to-day on the occasion of the sixth trophy shoot of the fourth 
series. J. E. Dafter carried off the honors by going his 25 
straight and winning Class A trophy. Wilson won Class B on 21. 
C. J. Wolff won Class C on 16. 
The cup shoot immediately followed, and was won by Dr T W 
Meek on a score of 22 out of 25, thrown as 15 singles and 5 pairs 
The day was a beautiful one, and ideal for trapshooting Ali 
present seemed to fully enjoy themselves. Attendance not what it 
ought to be. Too many members are away after game.
