English Proof Tests. 
Grand Crescent Gun Club. 
Under the system which prevails in the English Proof Houses 
there are, generally speaking, two proof tests and proof marks, 
namely: the provisional proof for barrels, "liable in any sub- 
sequent stage of manufacture to be reduced in strength," and 
the definitive proof for barrels not liable to such reduction. The 
gun trade consists of three interdependent parts; gun barrel 
makers comprising (1) the manufacturers of gun barrels from the 
raw materials into the "tube" state, which are provisionally proved 
and sold to the other two sections of the trade; (2) breechloading 
action makers, whose work consists of fitting the breech and lock 
mechanism to the barrels and preparing the gun for stocking and 
completion, including preparation for definitive proof; the join- 
ing of the barrels and various other processes may be included in 
the work of either of these sections as may be required by cir- 
cumstances; (3) gun makers who undertake the manufacture of 
the whole gun from the raw materials, provisionally proved or 
breechloading action supplied to them, generally in the definitively 
proved state. x 
The English proof marks came to be regarded as official indica- 
tions_ of British origin; but unfortunately it is the practice of the 
English proof houses to proof mark imported barrels, actions, and 
firearms in precisely the same manner as those of British make, 
and importers and foreign manufacturers took advantage of these 
facts to make use of English proof houses for proving foreign 
barrels and foreign revolvers; and this has now developed to such 
an extent that Continental manufacturers send barrels to this coun- 
try for provisional proof, the barrels being returned to them to 
have the breech actions fitted, and after that has been done, they 
are sent here for definitive proof, and again returned to be made 
up into complete arms to be exported to the United Kingdom, 
the Colonies or elsewhere to dealers, who are able by means of 
the English prq.of marks to sell them as, and in competition with, 
British made arms. The gun trade say that the guardians of the 
' pi oof houses are empowered to alter the system under the ap- 
proval of the . Secretary , of State for War, but "there has grown 
into the management an element more or less interested in im- 
porting rather than manufacturing, and this element is now in a 
majority on the board." The objects of the barrel makers and 
operatives is not to interfere with the sale of foreign barrels and 
firearms, but to prevent English proof marks from being exploited 
by importers and foreign manufacturers for the purpose of obtain- 
ing our trade; and they respectfully appeal to the members of 
both Houses of Parliament generally, and to the Board of Trade 
in particular, to support them. Two and a half years have 
elapsed since the attention of the Board of Trade was directed to 
this subject, and during that -time the board has been requested 
upon many occasions to take the necessary steps to provide a 
remedy. — Shooting Times.

Chicago Trapshooters' Association. 
Chicago, Aug. 7.— The Chicago Trapshooters' Association tour- 
nament, held at Watson's Park, Burnside, Aug. 7, was lightly at- 
tended. The shoot began at 1 P. M., and was short. Eight events 
of 15 targets each, was the programme. 
Owing to some of the surrounding clubs having special events 
on the attendance was smaller than any similar event held at 
these grounds this year, and some of the regulars having gone to 
attend the Indian shoot, the crowd was no larger than could be 
expected. . , 
The wind blew almost a gale all afternoon, first blowing from 
the west and then shifting to the northeast, it made conditions as 
difficult as possible to make good scores. . 
First average was won by Winesberg, Shogren getting second 
average, and A. E. Rupel third. Rupel, not having shot for some 
time, was not in his old-time form. . 
Another shoot like this will be held again m a few weeks, as 
a short programme seems to be popular with many of the shooters.

Grand Crescent Gun Club's regular weekly shoot: Eck and 
Adams made high score in the first event with 21. Deal got 
high with 22 in the distance handicap event. 
The wind was strong, and the targets were hard to judge 
properly; consequently the scores do not look large. Only four 
members qualified with their handicaps. 
Curtiss, the secretary, just got back from his vacation, and was 
in the harness again, looking after the club's welfare.

PUBLISHERS' DEPARTMENT. 
As an illustration of the Japanese advance in the art of advertis- 
ing can anything be more complete than this? "Our wrapping 
paper is as strong as the hide of an elephant. Goods forwarded 
with the speed of a cannon ball. Our silks and satins are as soft 
as the cheeks of a pretty woman, as beautiful as a rainbow. Our 
parcels are packed with as much care as a young married woman 
takes her husband." 
The name Upthegrove in connection with hunting and fishing 
clothes is an old one, and while the originator of the business 
may be no longer connnected with it, the name is retained by the 
Upthegrove Sporting Goods Co., of Valparaiso, Ind. They still 
make patent fold hunting and fishing clothing to measure, as 
shown by their advertisement, elsewhere printed. 
Some years ago black pointers had great fame in this country, 
and many shooters are still interested in them. Such shooters 
will read with pleasure the advertisement of the Archmeadow 
Kennels, of Danvers, Mass., offering such pointers for sale.
