GLASS-BALL TRAP SHOOTING 
la lha spring treps now used to throw clast balls for prac- 
tice abootiDg. sDorumea bare a mechanical oonirlr aoca which 
■hoold •nllrcly do a»ay with the " chances" whlob arts* la trap- 
plgeoo shooting, aa the glass ball goes Invariably In tbt direction 
desired by tho trap pallor, or la which Iho trap La set. In bird 
ohootlng from a trap— which mauy dislike on account of Iho 
well-known ohjactlous to U— there U • largo elexucut of ohanoo, 
a a ooe man may have good, slow quartering birds, while 
his opponent may got strong " In coming " or " tall •birds," 
making tho match oneven, simply because tbo one baa 
much cosier shots (ban Iho other, ind Is not liable to miss 
or have his birds drop oatsldc tho boundarlee. In order to de- 
rive the greatest possible benefit from trap shooting, and at the 
samo time test tbo marksmanship of any number who may be 
eugsged. it Is neoeasary FI rat, that oot only should tho trap 
throw balls In different directions, but that each person shooting 
should have In every ten shots the some angles at which the 
others shoot, so that uo ouo may be favored by chance or by the 
trapper ; Second, that a record be kept of each person's hits 
and misses and the angles on which tney occur, so that one 
may practice lololllgoallj . knowing on what angles ho needs 
more proficiency. It la bclloved that the plan adopted for scor- 
ing. (which has been copyrighted, together with all arrange- 
ments, whether of letters, or figures, characters or plats for re- 
cording shooting bT aneles) will be found ail that Is desired. 
(For good praoties the trap should at all times be hid from 
▼lew of tho parson shooting— by screen or otherwise.) 
This system not only records tho angles so that each person 
sompstlng secures tho same shots as all the others, but also re- 
cords the augles on which he falls to break his balls, so that he 
may practice alono and perfect himself where he falls most. 
We have carefully examined " The Sportsman's Score-Book for 
Glass Ball Trap Shooting, by D. K. HOLMES, uud oan confi- 
dently recommend It at being tho most perfect system wo havo 
seen for keeping a oompleto record of o shooting mateh, and 
equalising the chances of those engaged, In regard to tho dlrwo- 
lion in which tho balls are thrown, by giving each person the 
tamo anglos at whloh all Iho others shoot- Tbo book is well
