Rifle and Revolver Cartridges 
At the Government Tests 
New High Record Established In Revolver Competition 
T he following table gives the relative standing of the different 
makes of revolver ammunition tested by the Government at 
Sea Girt, and shows that Winchester revolver ammunition 
established a New High Record for such competitions. This 
record is so much superior to any previously made, that it cannot 
fail to convince anyone of the unapproached high quality of 
Winchester cartridges. Just note these figures carefully and draw 
your own conclusions:

The result of this competition shows that Winchester Revolver and 
Rifle cartridges are the most accurate made. You will remember 
that Winchester cartridges are the only ones that ever won the 
Government Tests two years in succession. All Winchester car¬ 
tridges, of whatever caliber, such as you will find on sale at all 
dealers, are made after exactly the same manner as those that have 
recently won the Government Tests. For consistent scores, use 
Winchester cartridges,

THE 
BRAND 
Pacific Indians. 
The usual clever book of the Pacific Indians has just 
been issued by Herald Frank Riehl. It contains much 
of interest, with the sad obituary of Tyll Ishkum Yahwa, 
John A. Forbes, to whom this little verse has been in¬ 
dicted: 
Pause we beside the northern trail. 
Whence erst our valiant hunter came, 
And, where true manhood doth prevail. 
Carved for himself a gen’rous fame. 
The foreword is too interesting to overlook, so it is 
herewith printed: 
'Tis a far call. Fellow Braves, from the midcontinental 
plains, from the fair hills of Allegheny, and the country 
north of Niagara, to the sunny slopes of the Pacific; yet 
not so distant that what is good for the warriors of the 
older lands may not be better for those following the 
newer trails. Therefore, it is as natural as the rapids of 
our own pure mountain streams that the Pacific Indians 
should associate themselves together under these fairer 
skies to emulate the worthy achievements of their 
kindred over the Great Divide. 
Wherefore, acknowledging our inspirational debt to 
the American Indians, yet acting independently in our 
own premises, we have met and passed the pledge to rear 
the tepee and light the council fires of the Pacific In¬ 
dians. To all that has signalized the great success of 
this central idea of mutual good fellowship among the 
lovers of the gun, rod and kindred outdoor sports, we 
assign allegiance. We will welcome to the .circle every 
warrior who walks upright in everything before his fel- 
lowmen, and who follows the trail, not for slaughter, but 
for the love of the hunt. To pass muster before his 
fellows the candidate for chieftainship must bend a fair 
and honest bow, and speed the shaft of comradeship true 
to the mark. This, as judged by his peers in annual 
conclave assembled, shall be the sole test of individiial 
fitness either for admission or retention of his tribal 
name and insignia. 
Within the council there shall be recognized no grade 
cr class, except that duly elected or appointive officers 
shall be deferred to when acting within the limits of 
the prerogatives of their positions. In all competitions 
each and every contestant shall stand on the same basis, 
except in so far as individual prowess may enable him 
to excel. Neither shall mercenary motives, commonly 
known as trade interests, be countenanced or have any 
part in such competitive events as the chief advisors 
may arrange. 
The sixth annual tournament will he held at Ray¬ 
mond, Wash., July 22-25, with practice day on the 21st. 
The program will consist of ten 15-target events each day, 
$1.50 entrance; $1 for money-back system. 
SPECIALS. 
The Tribe’s new departure last year in offering thirty 
special solid gold medals was so immediately popular that 
it was voted to repeat same this year. Only one medal 
will be awarded to any one contestant, so that in the end 
the thirty honor medals must go to thirty different con¬ 
testants in the regular program. 
The Chingren challenge trophy will be shot for on 
the fourth day of the meet, or sooner during tourney, jf 
deemed advisable. Any other special events will also 
be contested on the fourth day, as will any portion of 
the program that, for any reason, may not be finished 
in the three days preceding. 
The annual meeting of the Tribe will be held in the 
wigwam of the Raymoiid Gun Club at 8 P. M., July 23, 
and annual business meeting and election of officers and 
new members on the evenin.g following. 
The railroads will accord us the usual special rates, 
which is to say, one-third fare for return trip, if as many 
as fifty certificates are obtained by members and visitors 
on going trip. Almost every year many attendants over¬ 
look this item in purchasing tickets, thereby depriving 
themselves of the benefit in saving of fare, and there is 
also the danger that, by one’s neglect of this important 
point, all may be deprived of the benefit of rates. 
Make up your mind that you will be one of those in 
line with certificate for the secretary’s signature. This 
rate applies from all points in the Northwest not less 
than 50 miles from the point of meeting. 
Official headquarters at Raymond, Hotel Raymond. 
Further particulars as to local arrangement^ may be had 
from Stanlev Bell, Raymond, Wash., or F. C. Riehl, 
Secretary, Forty-first and Baltimore streets, Tacoma,

Wilmington, Del., May 20 .—Editor Forest and Stream: 
During the recent .Southern Handicap at Montgomery, 
Ala., on the I3th-15th inst., there was a good deal of dis¬ 
cussion as to the possibilities of the N. C. R. Gun Club, 
and of the City of Dayton, O., being able to provide in 
a suitable manner for the enjoyment and comfort of those 
who would attend the Grand American Handicap, which 
is to he held under the auspices 'of the N. C. R. Gun 
Club, June 17-20 next. 
From what I have been told by Mr. Elmer E. 
Shaner, manager of our Association, and from what I 
have learned from others, there is no doubt whatever in 
my mind as to everything being in good running order 
by the time the first Grand American Handicap con¬ 
testants put in their appearance at Dayton. The officials 
of the N. C. R. Gun Club and the individual members 
of the club, especially Messrs. W. F. Bippus, the vice- 
president,, and W. F. MacCandless, its secretary, all 
seein to be imbued with the same ‘“go-ahead-and-do-it” 
spirit, which President John H. Patterson, of the Nation¬ 
al Cash Register Company, of Dayton, proved so in¬ 
contestably was the main feature of his make-up, by the 
way in which he took charge of and directed so much 
of the successful rescue work, when the terrible flood 
in the late spring threatened to wipe Dayton off the 
map, and when the guiding hand of a born leader w'as so 
badly needed. 
With .such officials, therefore, at the head of the 
N. C. R. Gun Club, and in charge of all arrangements 
for the enjoyment and comfort of all its guests at the 
coming Grand American Handicap, and also, as stated 
above, with what I have learned about the situation of 
affairs at Dayton at the present time, I feel I can safely 
say to all the trapshooters of North America, that all 
those among their ranks who are thinking of attending 
the Grand American, will find everything quite to their 
liking, when Manager Shaner calls the first squad to the 
sccre cn practice day, June 16 next.

ton 46.

place on 130. J. Mowell Hawkins added one more to his 
string of high pro kidnappings with 146. M. F. Bohn 
cashiered.
