stead, beginning at 1 o'clock P. M." 
The match at 100 targets between Messrs. Harry M. Brigham

Arkansas Champiooship. 
Pine Bluff, Aik., Dec. 17. — In an open contest for the Peters 
CaiiTidge Co. trophy, emblematic of the live-bird championship, 
J. A. Coles, holder, of this city, successfully defended his title 
against eight other aspirants. In this race he simply outclassed the 
other contestants, as he beat his nearest competitor four birds ; 
that, too, after making a bad start, losing his first bird. After this, 
however, he settled down to business and shot in rare form, killing 
out straight to the end, and thereby aggregating the very fine 
score of 24 out of 25, on the very best lot of birds the writer has 
ever seen trapped in Pine Bluff, the majority of which were fast 
drivers. Up to the fifteenth round there were several others fac- 
tors in the race, but from thence on there was nothing to it but 
Coles, as all the other contestants experienced a few bad minutes, 
which put them out of the race. 
Coles came into possession of the trophy on Thanksgiving Day, 
when he won it in a similar contest with the same score in a held 
of twelve. Prior to this I. J. Vick, also of Pine Bluff, was the 
holder, he having won it in open contest at Stuttgart last Sep- 
tember, on which occasion he killed 25 straight. At the Stuttgart 
shoot R. W. Larkan, of De Vails Bluff, was the runner up with 
23 to liis credit. Aside from the victory above referred to, Vick 
also successfully defended the trophy against Coles in an indi- 
vidual f-ontest. This match took place in October, and Vick 
scored 2u to C'-""- 21. 
The contest o lO-day is the third open one of the season, but 
others are sure Lo follow, as the rules governing such contest 
permit any club to redeem the trophy from the holder and put it 
up in open competition. This provision was added at the last 
meeting of the Arkansas State Sportsmen's Association, and has 
greatly stimulated the interest in the trophy. 
The conditions of the contest call for 25 live birds, 30yds. rise.

The weather to-day was all that could be desired, bright and 
clear, but with little wind, though a keen, sharp atmosphere had 
an invigorating effect upon the birds as well as the shooters. 
At the request of the principals, Paul R. Litzke, of the Peters 
Cartridge Co., acted in the capacity of referee and scorer, though 
one of the contestants himself. Scores follow:

The preamble and resolutions concerning the death of Dr. 
Joseph Charles, passed by the Chesapeake Gun Club, are as 
follows: 
We, the committee appointed by the Chesapeake Gun Club to 
draft resolutions over the death of Dr. Joseph Charles, most re- 
spectfully submit the following: 
Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God to take from our midst 
our beloved friend and fellow sportsman. Dr. Joseph Charles; 
Therefore, Be if resolved by the Chesapeake Gun Club that, 
While bowing in humble submission to His will, we feel keenly the 
loss and sincerely regret the death of our departed friend. 
In his death we lose not only our truest sportsman, but one 
whose pure, manly character, unbounded liberality, and ever 
readiness to serve, had endeared him to the hearts of every mem- 
ber of the club. 
To his widow and immediate family we extend our heartfelt 
sympathy. 
Be it further resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be duly 
forwarded to his widow, the several gun clubs in our State, and 
to the Virginia Trapshooters' Association.

OssiNiNG, N. Y., Dec. 20. — The main event at our shoot to-day 
■was a 25-c1ay-bird, misses as breaks, handicap for a cup, being 
one of a set of four presented to the club by the pre9ident, Mr. 
If. Brandreth. The attendance was nothing to brag of. but the 
.scores made were Al. ' The birds were thrown full 50yds., m 
spite of vvhich the first four broke 90 out of 100 without their 
handicap allowances. Mr. E. F. Ball was the star performer with 
a score of 24 out of 25; he had an allowance of 2, one of which 
was superfluo^is. Wm. Fisher was second . with 20, which, with 
his handicap allowance of 5, gave him a clean score. On the 
shoot-off under original conditiops. Fisher got 22, while Ball went 
straight without his handicap. As Mr. Ball has only been shooting 
about three months, this was a remarkable performance. 
No. 8 was the prize shoot. The fourth column denotes misses 
added; the fifth polumn is the total; the sixth column the shoot-off.

Jackson Park Gun Clab. 
Paterson, N. J., Dec. 20.— The members of the Jackson Park 
Gun Club, of Paterson, N. J., are busily at work perfecting all 
arrangements for their New Year's live-bird shoot, which, from 
present encouragements, is going to be a great affair. The club 
IS sparing no expense in getting first class, good, strong country 
birds throughout Jersey, so that no one will have any com- 
plaint to make about birds. 
Capt. Lenone expects to arrange a programme for that day that 
will please every one that takes part in the shoot. The poor 
shooter will be looked after, and the good shooters will be able 
to get some money if he can stand the pace. Any shooter who 
so desires can shoot for birds only at all times at this club. 
The committee on entertainment is composed of men hard 
to beat— ex-Capt. Johnny Powers, Ed. Morgan, Billy Stalter, 
George Hopper and T. C. Wright. 
Garry Hopper is looking after the birds, and says everything is 
going along nicely. But wait till New Year's Day. Everything for 
the comfort of visitors will be looked after. The club house is 
well heated and has a glass front the entire length of the building, 
40ft., so that everybody can see the sport. Everybody is wel- 
come to be with us on New Year's Day, 1903. 
The club shoot to-day brought out quite a crowd, good shoot- 
ing and fair birds.

PUBLISHERS' DEPARTMENT. 
Driving Nails a Nerve Tonic. 
It is an odd remedy for nervous prostration, yet it is almost a 
sure cure, so says a well-known Southerner. Some time since a 
prominent business man in Boston, Mass., wrote Mr. John T 
Patrick, of Pinebluff, North Carolina, asking him if the climate 
of the Pme Woods, where he resides, and where so many 
Northern people go to recover health, was good for those suffer- 
ing from sleeplessness and nervousness. Mr. Patrick wrote: 
We have many persons coming down here who can hardly 
get an hour's sleep out of twenty-four, and they are not here a 
month before they can sleep eight hours during twenty-four. Dr. 
W. C. Wile, editor of the New England Medical Monthly, of 
Danbury. Conn., has said that it is one of the finest places to 
sleep at he ever visited, and the doctor is up on nervous troubles. 
And Dr. J. Warren Achorn, the prominent specialist of Boston, 
Mass., who has had great success in treating over-worked and 
tired-out business men, sends us a great many of his patients, and 
one of his prescriptions is addressed to, u_s, in which he directs us 
to put his patient to sawing boards- and '-di"iving nails, and the 
results are wonderful. The workinar of theA.bfherlumber is health- 
ful, the exercise is beneficial, and the man ffinnotTliink of himself 
as he drives nails. We have in this wav aided Dr. Achom in 
curing many of his patients. He has sent us men out of the 
stores, prominent editors, managers of factories, and even presi- 
dents of railroads. We have filled his prescription by putting 
these men to work, and by their sleeping in the open air as much 
as possible, some in tents, others in little shanties and cottages 
they would hardly think of going into in the Noi h to keep out 
of a shower of rain, they have gained appetite, health, strengtli 
and weight, and it only takes a few days until a piece of South- 
ern pork and corn bread tastes better to them than the best meal 
they can get in the Parker House in Boston, and if driving nail* 
and sleeping in little shanties will bring tone, vigor and sleep to 
the over-worked man, is it not better than any medical compound? 
At first the business man, with his soft, delicate hands, hesitates 
to take hold, but after he has mashed his finger a few times, and 
gets his hands as hard as a farmer's, he begins to eat and sleep, 
and when he gets the chance to see himself in a mirror, he won-, 
ders what has brought the contented, happy look to his face, and 
the answer flashes to his mind, 'driving nails and living in a 
shanty.' " 
A Charming Pleasure Place. 
Few winter resorts have the equal of Lakewood's advantages, 
which are, primarily, location, climate, and surroundings. At the 
end of a ninety-minute railroad journey you reach Lakewood. 
The winter home of fashion, culture and society. Fine roads in 
several directions lead to the hotels and cottages of the latter, 
of which there are many, and the life of their occupants is as 
merry as can be. The climate at Lakewood is at least ten degrees 
milder than at New York or Philadelphia, and by its situation in 
New Jersey's famous pine belt, there is an exhilarating healthful- 
ness found nowhere else on the Atlantic Coast. The hotels are 
metropolitan in every sense, and every convenience imaginable is 
found there, including Sun Parlors, Palm Gardens, Artistic Tea 
and Music Rooms, and a wonderful appointed cuisine. There are 
innumerable opportunities for out-door Ufe, and sports like 
Pony Polo, Golf, Cross-Country Riding, Coaching and Auto- 
mobiling, are indulged in. The only road to Lakewood from 
New York is the New Jersey Central, and its express service is 
such that many New York business men travel daily between 
Lakewood and New York. To know about Lakewood write C. 
M. Burt, G. P. A., New Jersey Centray, New York City, for 
Book on New Jersey's Pines, etc.; it's free for the asking. 
The Laflin & Rand Powder Co., New York, Chicago, Denver, 
San Francisco, has issued a calendar for 1903, which depicts a 
situation having a theme sure to arouse pleasant memories in the 
minds of all sportsmen. The bright glow of a fire, cheerily burn- 
ing in the old-fashioned fireplace illuminates the cabin, in which 
are three hunters, one of whom, the eldest of the party, is des- 
canting on the merits of Infallible, a package of which he holds 
forth in his hand as an object lesson. Of his two companions, 
one is listening in a pose of eager attention, while the other, 
preparing the coffee, is in a state of suspended action while 
listening to the wise man. The picture is entitled "It's Infallible." 
A man-of-wars man and a soldier, portrayed with much spirit 
on the margin, are suggestive of the powder's further uses. It 
will be sent to applicants by the Laflia & Rand Powder Co. 
The illustrated catalogue of Marine Hardware issued by Anthony 
S. Morss, of Boston, Mass., is a fat little volume of more than 
250 pages. It seems to cp^jjpin everything that the yacht builder 
could possibly use, from A palm to a propeller wheel, and from 
a squilgee to a searchlight. Some idea of its size and variety 
may be had from the fact that the index alone occupies twenty 
pages in double column. Yacht builders, and those contemplat- 
ing building should certainly send for this catalogrue. 
W^e have just received from the Almy Water-Tube Boiler Co., 
of Providence, R. I., their catalogue for 1903. The catalogue de- 
serves more than passing notice, for it is particularly well gotten 
up, and contains a great deal of interesting matter. The pamphlet 
is well printed on heavy-coated paper, and the half-tones of the 
company's plant and of some two hundred yachts and steamers 
that are equipped with their boilers, show up to the best possible 
advantage. 
Mr. Paul North, of the Chamberlin Cartridge and Target Co., 
Cleveland, O., in a letter of recent date, informs us that he has 
sent to Messrs. Schoverling, Daly & Gales, 302-304 Broadway, 
New York, a Parker gun, equipped with the Fulford single 
trigger, thus affording to the sportsmen of New York and 
vicinity ample opportunity to observe its practical advantages 
and workings. 
The Marine Construction and Dry Dock Co., o£ New York, 
whose works are at Mariners' IJarbor, S. I., not only build yachts,
