FOREST AND STHEAM. 
Havef iiill Qua Glttfc* 
Haverhill, Mass., April 19.— Our Patriots' Day toumament 
proved a great success; in fact, far beyond all expectation; forty- 
eight enthusiasts being present. While the sport was not rtished, 
5,150 targets were broken. The background being none of the best, 
and quite a strong wind, the shooting was anything but easy; but 
a glance at the summary will show some very fine scores. 
" Horace Kirkwood landed high average for the entire programme, 
arid as^ consequence, wears a new stick pin. E. J. George was 
second. 
In the five-man team match there were seven entries. Birch 
Brook, of Lynn, was an easy winner, and are carrying their 
matches in silver boxes, while the Boston G. C. were awarded 
■ Lefever gun cleaners, in hopes that they would swab out their 
fusees, and do better riext time. 
Among our many visitors were Mr. Gvis Greiff, of New York, 
who remained this time until the curtain rung down. "Mr. E. B. 
Thornpson, who did not shoot, but was willing to tell us all 
about his company's guns, shells, etc.; Messrs. Powell and Alex- 
ander, of Newport, R. I. ; Hallam and Corson, of Dover, N. H. 
Bbstoh, Lynn and Lawrence were^represented by whole crowds. 
' One of the pleasing features was the number of new-comers in 
' the game, several having never before gvmned for the blxds, but 
are now prospective record-breakers. Events 1, 4, 7, 9, regular;

Springfield Shooting Club To«fnament. 
Springfield, Mass.— One of the largest gatherings of trapshoot- 
ers ever held in this city attended the spring tournament of the 
Springfield- Shooting Club on Patriots' Day, April 19. Many old- 
timers were present, and many new ones. , .The . club felt quite 
proud of the success of the meet. 
Shooters were present from Rochestcr.'N. Y.; New York city; 
Providence, R. L; New London, Conn. ;, Boston; Greenfield, 
Mass.; Pittsfield, Mass., and many surrounding towns. • - ■ ■ 
Shooting started in at 9:30. Darkness called a halt after the 
tenth event, . leaving two events _ still unshot. _ The National 
Sportsmen's contest took a lot of time to run off, having forty- 
iiirie shooters to compete out of ninety-three entered. This event, 
being handicapped, was very interesting to watch. . , 
"The day was perfect in the morning, but at noon it clouded up 
and a snow squall set in, which made it very uncomfortable for 
the shooters, who seemed glad to hug .the stove in. the club 
house whenever an opportunity presented itself. 
" The- trade was represented by Neaf Apgair, T. H. Keller,, Jr., 
E. D. Fulford and T. E. Doremus. 
E. C. Griffith easily captured special high gun prize of a $5 
gold piece, shooting an average of 90 per cent. 
■" The National Sportsmen's contest was. a handicap event, from 
16" to 25yds. Hawes (17yds.), of the local club,, and Knowlton 
-t20yds.), of New York City tied on 19 each for first and second 
' prizes. In the shoot-off Hawes won first and Knowlton second. 
Threre" "Were four ties of 18 each for third - and fourth- -prizes,. Dr. 
Keith (20yds.), White (20yds.), Clark (22yds.), and Coats (18yds.). 
■'In'the shoot-off Dr. Keith won third and Coats fourth, .prize. 
These prizes were donated by the publishers of National Sports- 
man, and were as follows : First, a Winchester Brush gun; second, 
"Wi'richester repeating rifle; third, Stevens hammerless ejector gun; 
fourth, Waterman fountain pen. _ - - .. 
Three of the four prizes were won by club member*. Scores

Cincinnati. — Aprir23 Was the most spring-like day we have had 
in tliis region. As a Consequence, the largest number of many 
■weeks were present. Twenty-eight took part iri the cash prize 
shoot. Ahlers and Block tied for high gun on 44. Ackley broke 
■ 4l out of the 50. He is feeling much better than for sonle weeks, 
■ and with the ad-vent cf warm weather is likely to set a pace' that 
some of the younger boys 'vviil find hard to equal. It seeined 
natural to see Squier at the grounds again, and the only regret is 
that his stay is to be a short one. Capt. A. W. du Bray, after a 
"too short visit, starts the first of the week on another trip. 
The Dayton boys will defend the Phellis trOphy in the second 
' week 'in May, "exact date to be anriouhce'd* later. The Cincinnati 
' teanl, the challengers, will consist of Gambell, Faran, Medico,. 
Dcrj Mihto, ' Barker and Ahlers. A number of the niembers 
visited Mason,* O*., oh the 21st to attend the tourriairient there. 
■ The ' nuhiber "of "shooters was not lairge, but some good sport was 
enjoyed. The tournathent committee are hard at work, and will 
scon ' have "sbriiet'hing" to say which will interest shooters in all 
sections. 
Liitie Gamb*ell, shooting under the name of Hazard, broke 39 
"duf of 50, using his father's gun. In the last 25 he broke 21, a 
scc're which many older shooters would' be glad to equal.

• - ' Trap Nomenclature. 
Philadelphia!— Siittor Forest and Stream: Referring to the 
terms used to describe target and live-bird events, referred to in 
one of your late issues, I agree with you that the teirms used by 
the press and others in reporting the doings at the traps Have 
doubtless misled the societies and the public into corifouriding the 
two sports. 
Aside irom any misunderstanding, it appears to me that the 
more appropriate words to use in target shooting are "targets," not 
inanimate targets, nor flying targets, but simply targets. When 
broken, "broke"; when missed, "lost," and when broken by the 
, trap,, "^no target," instead of mixing the terms with "birds," 
"killed," "kills," and "no bird"; the latter term in each case is 
doubtless seldoirt used by the press, but more particularly at the 
traps. 
I see by the papers that the New Jersey Legislature has passed 
and the Governor has signed, the bill prohibiting pigeon shooting 
git the traps in that State, and it looks very much as if other 
States will follow, and live-bird shooting from traps will, in a 
few years, be a sport of the past. It will then make little dif- 
ference what terras are used in describing target shooting, so far 
as the societies and the public are concerned. Nevertheless, it is 
better to use correct terms. ■ Subscriber.
