[Aug. 12, 1911. 
cents a target the entry would be $2.40, leaving ten cents 
in the net purse for each target thrown. Each contestant 
receives ten cents for every target he breaks, the clean 
score receiving $2 for his work. Now then, every target 
missed leaves its value in the purse, thus: If, out of 
200 targets shot at, 100 are missed, half the value of the 
total purse is divided according to percentage, allowing 
the best score the big end of the purse. 
The sensation of the meet of the Maryland National 
Guard and the Maryland State Rifle Association, held in 
Baltimore, was the shooting of Sergt. James E. Givan, in 
the Gould range match. He broke the record of 98 es¬ 
tablished in 1910, by Capt. C. R. Duce, by one point, 
making 99 out of a possible 100. This match was shot 
at the long ranges of 800 and 1,00yds. Sergt. Jimmy 
Givan’s score deserves the highest praise. The whole 
match was unusually classy, as Lieutenant Munshower 
equaled last year’s winning score, 98, and Sergt. Joseph 
M. Collins was a close third, with 96. In the first stage 
there were four possibles—that is, 50 out of a possible 50 
—made by Sergt. Dead-shot Givan, Lieut. E. T. Mun¬ 
shower, Sergt. Joe Collins and Private C. S. Garner.

Fred Gilbert, who recently won the $750 championship 
cup for double trapshooting at Wilmington, Del., has re¬ 
ceived a challenge for the right to hold it. He found this 
neatly written and enclosed in an envelope on his break- 
fact plate the other morning. It was signed Tom 
Marshall Gilbert. This is Mr. Gilbert’s 14-year-old son, 
and he has won a reputation at home for marksmanship 
while his father has been shooting abroad. 
“Well, look here, young man,” said Mr. Gilbert, “you 
understand that a man who challenges the holder of this 
cup must put up about $100 on his side as an evidence 
of good faith. When you come across with the forfeit 
I’ll consider your challenge.” 
“Well, father,” came back the youth, “will you loan 
me the hundred?” 
The champion is considering the proposition.—Omaha 
Bee.

The death at Strong, Maine, of Fred Flint has removed 
one of the pioneer guides of the North country, one of 
the few surviving old-time sportsmen of the woods. 
Fred Flint was born at Lee, Me., in 1843, and has 
always been devoted to life in the open. When a young 
man he was one of the most hardy and fearless of woods¬ 
men and knew every inch of the Rangeley country and 
of the great fishing and hunting grounds which run for 
miles from the Maine and New Hampshire boundaries 
northward into the Canadian wilds. 
Fred Flint was as straight as a sapling, slender and 
supple and could throw around any man in the country 
in his youth. He was a wonderful shot, and a deer or 
caribou upon which he aimed never lived to run away. 
He knew the pools where the big fellows went, and al¬ 
though a keen sportsman his was the kindliest of hearts 
and he never could bear to see an animal suffer. It has 
been said that he killed more than 1,000 deer during his 
hunting days and many tales are told of his prowess.
