104 FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Aug. 5 , 1905. 
Dmyfield Gun Club. 
Manchester, N. H., July 22. — To-day was certainly a happy day 
fdr Mayor Reed, president of the Derryfield Gun Club, as the 
programme which he and the executive committee of his club had 
arranged attracted some thirty-five shooters, with all of whom Mr. 
Reed has a personal acquaintance, and among which are some of 
the best amateur shooters of this section. The programme as 
arranged called for 160 targets, five events of 10 and five of 20 
targets. The last five events to be for the Peters trophy and the 
championship of the State of New Hampshire, held by Mr. Carl 
Harrington, of the Derryfield Club, and for which fifteen of the 
State’s best shooters lined up, making on the whole higher scores 
than have ever been shot in this State in a contest of this kind. 
Mr. Harrington, of Manchester, had accepted the challenge of 
our good friend D. W. Hallam, of Dover, N. H., and as the scores 
of these gentlemen in previous matches had averaged high, a good 
contest was looked for, with no one reckless enough to hazard a 
guess on who would win. 
It proved, however, that neither was in championship form, 
Mr. Harrington being so confined by pressure of business that he 
was unable to get the necessary amount of practice, while Mr. 
Hallam, the challenger, who, by the way, was shooting a new gun 
which pounded his cheek so badly as to put him out of the run- 
ning, was, very much to the regret of his friends, unable to 
finish the programme. 
Elmer E. Rood, of the Derryfield Club, carried away the honors 
for the day by not only winning the Peters trophy and State 
championship on the excellent score of 94 out of his 100, but win- 
ning the high gun money, a $5 gold piece, for high average qf the 
day on 142 breaks out of 150 targets, and finishing up with a 
percentage of 94.6. Following him closely were the other Mr. 
Reed, who broke 92, shooting just a little better than he knew 
how; Mr. Bouton, with 90; Mr. Goss and Mr. Perley, with 89. 
Altogether eight out of the fifteen shooters finished the contest 
with 80 and better to their credit. 
On behalf of Saunders & Co., of Boston, Elmer E. Reed was 
presented a fancy cigar cutter, and Mr. Perley' a pocket compass 
by B. F. Smith, the all-around sport and good fellow of the 
Watertown Club. 
Climax, of Lowell; Hibbard, of Boston, and Wheeler, of 
Brunswick, Me., while not eligible to the cup match, shot a pro- 
fessional race all through the day. The special prices for»second 
and third high averages for the day were captured by Messrs. 
Climax and Hibbard respectively. The shooting opened promptly 
at 10:30 o’clock under the most favorable weather conditions, and 
with the exception of an hour at noon, when Capt. Geo.' Bartlett 
gave an exhibition of fancy shooting with the rifle, was continued 
until 7 o’clock. This exhibition of Capt. Bartlett is certainly 
marvelous, and demonstrates that the modern rifle, in the hands 
of such an expert as he, when used with the perfect ammunition 
he is using, is an instrument of marvelous accuracy. Small metal 
disks tossed in the air “by the human trap,’’ Mr. Wheeler, were 
perforated as neatly as if bored by machinery, and squares . of 
quarter-inch steel plate were perforated as nicely as a paper would 
have been; all these targets being thrown in the air when shot at. 
By the use of mirrors for sighting, Capt. Bartlett hit, his targets 
with the rifle, bottom up or any other way, he standing back to 
the object shot at, too. It is not in the reach of the ordinary 
man’s imagination to formulate it, it must be seen to .be' ap- 
preciated. His exhibition was witnessed by about 400 spectators, 
who were generous in their applause. 
Charles J. Darrah officiated as scorer; Bert Davis, of the 
Manchester Hardware Co., as secretary-treasurer, . and Mayor 
Reed as squad hustler, and succeeded in running off the pro- 
gramme and exhibition in good time. The Derryfield Gun Club 
has obligated themselves to their friends, and rest assured they 
will be pleased to reciprocate when opportunity presents itself.

Springfield, Mass., Shooting Club. 
Twenty-six who brought their guns, and a large crowd who 
didn’t attend the practice shoot of this club, held in honor of 
Messrs. Bartlett, Wheeler and Jack Fanning, trade representatives, 
at Red House Crossing on the afternoon of July 26. It was an 
ideal day for shooting, and some very fine scores were made. 
The way Fanning smashed 95 out of 100 opened our eyes a little, 
as it was a record for the grounds. Jack is the same old fellow, 
and we are always glad to have him with us. 
The principal feature of the shoot was the fancy rifle shooting 
of Capt. Bartlett. He surely is a wonder. That he also knows 
how to handle the shotgun, the, scores, will show. We must not 
forget to mention that W. H. Snow is coming fast with his 
average of 90 for the afternoon, and Le Noir, a close second with 
88, while qur friend from down the river was shooting in poor 
form for him. Never mind, George, we know you can and have 
done better many times. We were obliged to omit our Peters 
cup and merchandise contests for lack of time. Scores follow:

Hudson Gun Club. 
'J'hese scores were mads at llie last shoot of the Hudson Gun 
Club, of Jersey City. The day was fine, and was only marred by 
the uncertainty as to ivbetber the club could liold a shoot. 
During the time intervening between July 16 and 23 some mis- 
creant forced his way into the club house and tried to destroy 
everything useful. Besides breaking parts of the electric pull, 
stove, sink, dishes and glassware, the person or persons broke 
every pane of glass but one in the house. If the intention was to 
spoil the shoot, it was not successful, for things were straightened 
out and a good many targets were thrown.

Bonesteel Gun Club. 
Bonesteel, S. D., July 25. — The Bonesteel Gun Club ran off a 
little afternoon shoot on the 17th inst. The programme consisted 
of seven events of 15 birds each, $1.60 entrance and a contest for 
the Peters Cartridge Co.’s emblem, representing the championship . 
of Gregory county. The attendance was not large, but there were 
representatives from all the nearby towns, and all events were 
hotly contested. 
Those in attendance were Porter; Thompson, of the Fairfax 
Gun Club; Phillips, of the Herrick Gun Club; Leach and Spatz, j 
of the Bonesteel Gun Club. 
The shooting was not up to the standard, which can only be 
accounted for by lack of jiractice. Porter won the championship 
with Spatz a close second. The money in the sweeps was pretty 
evenly divided. 
It was arranged to have a shoot every two weeks alternately at 
Bonesteel, plerick and Fairfax, this shoot being the first one of the 
series under this understanding. The championship medal is to be 
I'Ut up in open competition at each of these shoots, regardless of ; 
whether or not the holder of same is present. This trophy was : 
formerly a challenge trophy, and was held by Leach for one year 
without challenge, and it was for tlie purpose of bringing into 
more active circulation that he waived his rights in the matter 
and changed it to the present rules. 
The next shoot will be at Herrick, on Aug. 8, and it is hoped i 
that there will be a large attendance. 
Following are the scores, the last event being the championship 
event :

Weslfic'd Rod and Gon Club. 
Westfield, N. J., July 28. — Appended find scores of handicap 
event for cup presented by E. I. Dupont Co. We would un- 
doubtedly have had a larger attendance btit for the fact that a : 
gr^eat many of the club members are, away on their vacations. The ; 
handicap committee has so aranged it that members not present 
to-day can make up their scores at future shoots, of which there 
will be seven more, with 25 birds at each, but each member must 
shoot at the 200 birds. 
The cup is a perfect beauty and the boys all fully appreciate the ; 
generosity of the Dupont company. You need not- expect, any . 
scores such as a Gilbert would make, as this is; as yet, a young ; 
club, composed mostly of young fellows who have just begun 
shcoting, but they are all very enthusiastic over it, and, like lots - 
more, think that it is one of the best, if not- the ■ best, of recrea- 
tions.

Of all the impedimenta of the camper, the mess kit is perhaps; 
• the most troublesome, for it consists of a multitude of piec‘d, 
each of which takes up room and is likely to be lost. Writers, oh' 
camping constantly insist that utensils like cups and camp -kettlers. 
should nest. Wilson’s Complete Cooking and Serving' Outfit; 
seems to have solved the problem of compactness and safety, and' 
licrsons interested in cooking outfits, .may profitably send' to F.,
