clever on turkeys as he is on silver cups, so there is 
still hope for some of the “Leather Stockings” of the

_| Witmineton, Del.—A genuine old-fashion turkey shoot 
‘js to be held on the Dupont range on Saturday, Nov. 
{3-the last Saturday before Thanksgiving Day—and all 
_nembers and their friends are invited to come out and 
_|njoy an afternoon’s good sport. 
_| All shooting to be from rest at 200yds. on German 
_j'ing target, one shot only to each event. Ties will be 
_|lecided in event following. Every one will be allowed 
_jjighting shots, in order to get their rifle sighted in 
_lroperly. The element of luck enters so largely into 
_|this style of shooting that it gives every one a good 
\thance to win. A rifle carefully and accurately sighted 
vill be provided for those members desirous of shoot- 
_|ng and who have no gun. 
"| In pursuance of the usual custom the club has secured 
lit great expense—a free admission to the club house 
lind car fare—Irenee Dupont to take charge of the 
{}oullion. He will see that no one is allowed to carry any 
imoney home, for we need it all. No checks accepted. 
\\We are suspicious of everybody, and nothing but money 
, ;fOes. 
;| William Tell Coyne, commonly known as “Bogardus,” 
he champion turkey shooter of Ireland and other green 
ylaces, has consented to shoot the eye out of the first 
-jiurkey put up at 200 yards offhand, providing Mac and 
Hessian will hold the turkey. This they have willingly 
-|zonsented to do—perhaps. We would kindly draw your 
| |attention to the fact that Champion Coyne does this 
wonderful stunt without using the sights, shooting from 
the hip position, made famous by his friend Jack 
|Dalton, of Diamond Dick fame. The champion has de- 
| posited with the treasurer a two-hundred dollar (Con- 
federate) bill to assure every one that this event will be 
-jpulled off. It has been decided by the committee in 
.jorder to give everyone a fair chance that Champion Coyne 
|will not be allowed to win more than ten turkeys. 
In view of the great amount of private practice lately 
‘lindulged in by Colonel Ewing with a pistol at flying 
,jobjects with and without ammunition, he will be barred 
§ from using a pistol and must use a rifle. 
| That La Motte Dupont must use a pistol instead of a 
rifle, because of his perfect score made recently in the 
Mchampionship pistol match shot under the auspices of 
ithe Alaskan Cavalry. 
That Alphabetical Casey must use a military rifle and 
shoot in his favorite style, rapid fire. One shot in 
O two-fifths of 2 second. (An alarm clock has been secured 
in order that he be held down to this agreement.) 
That no competitor be allowed to approach the target 
without first being examined for lead pencils. (Mem- 
al bers of the accounting department please note.) 
McCafferty will not be allowed to use a rifle barrel 
shorter than ten inches, as we insist on every one play- 
ing fair in this competition. 




Hessian is barred from using “Cream of Wheat’? in 
his cartridges, as the turkeys, when they discover this, 
might come his way regardless. 
_ That in this match, with the above exceptions, nothing 
in the way of rifles, sights or ammunition is barred. 
You may wear blinkers, crutches, shoulder pads, elbow 
pads, chest protectors, storage batteries, electric belts, 
interfering boots, ear protectors, boxing gloves, or any- 
thing else you may choose. For those who are liable 
to get cold feet we would advise that they come 
equipped with Dolge’s felt shoes. No objections to any 
competitor bringing his bottle of Peruna with him if 
he so desires. Rubbing down will also be allowed be- 
tween heats. H. B. McCo..tum, 
Secretary Shooting Committee.

Providence Revolver Club. 
Two men. temporarily abandoned the six-shooter for 
the long-barreled target pistol this week, and had a lone 
match to themselves, the conditions being 50 consecu- 
tive shots in 10-shot strings at 50yds. on standard Ameri- 
can target. This match was finished in thirty minutes 
and resulted as follows: - Bradford Norman, 83, 81, 87, 82, 
80—414; William Almy, $8, 83, 82, 81, 77—411. 
This was so close that another match was shot, con- 
sisting of 30 shots, same conditions, and again Norman 
won by a close margin, the scores being: Norman, 87, 
37, 82256; Almy, 85, 87, 82—254. 
Indoor work started at the gallery in the evening, a 
few scores being shot to see if men and guns had for- 
gotten the tricks of artificial light. The evening was 
spent in that old-time dodge for ‘poor scores, “sighting 
in,’ and few figures were obtained by the scribe, as the 
majority of the targets were hustled into the stove, for 
although many good groups were made, the totals would 

not bear publication in view of the forthcoming match 
with the Boston Revolver Club—we don’t want to sur- 
prise them. 
The following, however, were caught: 
Pistol, 50yds., standard.—A, B. Coulters, 78, 76, 72, 76, 
75, 76. 
Revolver, 
74, 76. 
Rifle, 25yds.—Coulters, Krag, 46, 45; Beach, ring tar- 
get, 237, 224, 232 
237, 
Few, but hard to get, both by shooters and “reporter.” 
20yds., standard.—Hurlburt, 80; Gardiner,
