The Equitable System. 
A CLUBMAN who had served on the house committee of a yacht 
club tells of an odd complaint made by a millionaire member. 
It reads as follows: 
"Gentlemen: I have the honor to inform you that I lunched 
at the club this afternoon, and had as my guests three gentlemen, 
all well known gourmets. Among the dishes that I ordered, an 
omelet was served which contained only three flies. As an old 
member of the club, jealous of its reputation as to generosity of 
portions, this naturally touched my pride; it was, moreover, em- 
barrassing, because, in order to make an equitable division of 
the omelet it was necessary either to divide a fly— a nice bit 
of carving, as you must concede— or to forego a fly myself. I 
beg to suggest that in future, when an omelet is ordered for four 
persons, it should be served with either— (a) four flies, or (h) 
no flies at all.— Item. 
The Ossining, N. Y., Gun Club defeated the Poughkeepsie 
Gun Club, in their team contest, at Ossining, Feb. 13. There 
were seven men on a side. Each shot at 25 targets. The scores 
were 134 and 129. Each club now has two wins. A banquet in 
the evening, given by the Ossining club to the visitors rounded 
out a day of pleasure. 
SIDE LIGHTS OF TRADE. 
The Marlin catalogue for 1905 will be sent to applicants who 
send three stamps for postage to the Marlin Fire Arms Co., New 
Haven, Conn. The cover is in colors, and portrays two hunters 
sitting 'by the camp-fire while their meal is cooking. Guns and 
dogs give added realism to the scene. This catalogue gives hun- 
dreds of ideas on the technique of the rifle and its practical use, 
besides a full list of the Marlin rifles and shotguns. 
The W. S. Dickey Clay Mfg. Co., Kansas City, were the re- 
cipients of the following hearty endorsement and recommendation 
of their traps, as per the following self explanatory letter: 
"Brenham, Tex.., Jan. 28.-W. S. Dickey Clay Mfg. Co., Kansas 
City, Mo.— Gentlemen: After having used your auto trap in com- 
petition with other automatic traps at my tournament, I most 
heartily recommend your trap and will keep the trap you in- 
stalled here for our shooting grounds, for which you will find in- 
closed $25 m payment for same. Yours truly, ,

Feb. 22. — Greenville, N. J. — American record 100-shot match. 
March 1-9. — New York. — Zettler annual gallery tournament. 
Pfovidence Revolver Qub. 
Providence, R. I. — Very little shooting was done at the regular 
practice on the 16th, and, with the exception of Major Eddy and 
Mr. Jordan, the scoring was hardly worth recording. 
Mr. Jordan brought in his new target rifle fitted with a 6-power 
telescope, and with Mr. E. W. Brown, our new member, spent 
the evening in adjusting focus and testing the new weapon. 
Familiarity with the ovitfit will soon bring Mr. Jordan's scores 
into the 240's if he holds the 'scope as well as he has his little 
sporting repeater. 
W. B. Gardiner has had set triggers put on his rifle, and after 
sighting in, showed improvement over some previous shooting. 
Major Eddy held his military for an 82, and D. P. Craig, the 
"hospital corps man," shot a 40 (Creedmoor count) with the 
same style arm. 
The Louisville, Ky., Revolver Club has suggested that we 
shoot them a match at 10yds., included in which is a "rapid fire" 
test. The revolver men present tried a few strings on the 10yd. 
standard target and found the reduced bull difficult to touch. 
Considerable amiisement was created in their attempts to get 
in five shots on the 20yd. target, in 20 seconds. It is, no doubt, 
easy for those accustomed to handling the revolver in rapid work, 
but when one bungles over the cocking and tries to catch his 
sights after the word "fire" and tries to catch up, the result to 
a novice is laughable or discouraging. Hurlburt's second trial 
resulted in 36 out of a possible 50 points; he managed to get 
three bulls for the first three shots, and, fearing near the limit, 
hurried the last two, getting a four and five, and looked sur- 
prised when the timer announced five seconds to spare. New 
experiences are interesting, however, and with a little practice 
we may be able to have a try with our Kentucky friends. 
Following are the scores recorded. Rifle, 25yds., German ring 
target— L. A. Jordan, 235, 231; W. Bert Gardiner, 232. 
Revolver and pistol, 20yds,, Standard American target: Major 
William F. Eddy, 77, 82; Arno Argus, 72; A. C. Hurlburt, 72; 
Fred Liebrich, 72; D. P. Craig, 40, 31. 
Rapid flre, 10yds,, 5 shots, 20 sec. allowed, possible 50: A, C. 
Hurlburt, 36 in 15 seconds. 
Portsmouth Range, 
Target shooting with both rifle and revolver has been brisk 
on the Portsmouth range. Two local experts, Almy and Cogge- 
shall, have warmed up well, and it is nip and tuck as to who can 
hold the lead. Two 50-shot matches have been finished since 
the trial matches, Coggeshall winning in both cases, although in 
the last match, shot on the 9th, Almy came within one point 
of tying. This gives each of the Portsmouth experts two matches, 
and the result of the fifth is awaited with much interest. 
Recorded scores in rifle matches shot at Portsmouth — Almy vs. 
Coggeshall, 50yds.; Standard American target; 50 shots per man 
with .22 caliber target rifles; possible, 10 shots 100; 50 shots 500:
