The particular merits of the Shultz is its evenness. The American wood and also the I, C. powders are very uneven and have ruined many a When our American manufactu te this great fault and increase its strength a little, their powder will equal the English com ound. In all the scientifie trials the Shultz has come out on top for penetration and even ness of pattern and explosion. It is also quicker, when correctly loaded, and yet there is room for many improvements in the Shultz. The loading of nitro compounds depends upon the kind of shooting the loads are tended for, as is the case with any powders For targets, chicken, quail or jacksnij two and three-fourths drachms are suffcient for 12-guage guns, and three and thre fourths drachms for 10-guages. One and or fourth ounces of shot can be used with this quantity of powder with good results. For live pigeons, ducks, ge » or crane, three drachms malkeo: good strong load in the Peters, Eley or Kyroch shells and three and one-fourth drachms in the poorer grades. For ten-guage guns the load should be inereased propo=tionally. The loading of nitro powders is the im portant point in obtaining good results. Grent care must be taken in this respect for a slight mistake or ignorance in the art will muke the load worthless. It is well to understana that the explosion of this powder generates a gas which must b confined and 10 do 50 plenty of wads must be used, Fivst ard,” over powder well seated, but nmed ; then two or three black-edige ds, three if the length of the shell will permit—and a cardboard wad for the shot to reston. The cardboard wad over the soft wads is important to obtain the penetratic as the shot requires a good. firm, hard foundation. The shot should not be rammed but well shaken down witha good tight erimp. The Spangler crimper should be used. Shells that have been carried in the pocket or shell box any length of time should be recrinped before being used The above loading applies exclusively to Shuitz powder. - American wood and I, ¢, should be loaded the same, with the excep tiou of ramming. They ought to be rammed about as much as is customary in_loading black powder, bat do not ram the Shultz or your inbor is lost. The best results ave ob. tined from thedé powders in guns with o long tapering choke, quite small at the muzzde. If used i large bored gun larger wads must be used n loading, and then they will not fill the barrel sufficiently to prevert the gas escap- ing into the shot and scattering it wove or les iveener has the boring of guns _for nitros down finer than any other manufacturer iu the world, probably. Awmerican gun makers are copying after him, but the credit must be placed where it belongs. ‘The Lefever and L. C Smith guns have the best imita tion. Pavker still sticks to the black pow der and big boring and consequently the for mer named guns bag trade ¢ Lefever Arms company builds an ex®llent handling and close shooting gun. but many think the bolting device is too complicated and weak for nitro compounds, which pound a gun in one place as hard as in any other, with the exception of the extreme muzzle.

L. C. Smith and Lefever have guns bored for nitro powders, but. they also have a stock of big bores, and in ordering a gun for nitro powder use, insist on a small bore with lots of metal in the breach. ( doesn’t make any large bored guns Tywelve-gauge guns predominated at the big shgoting tournaments throughout the try last year. A 10-gauge was a cur and o curic that was & nuisance In squad shooting the 10-gauge mun sf back two yards farther than the 12, and con- sequently is very unpopular with the bal- ance of the squad, particularly so with the shooters next to him.

Perhaps the I2-gauge men” won't eat as big a supper as the 10- gaugers, but they will have more money in their pocket when the shoot is over. A l0gauge gun bored for nitro powders would be just as good as a twelve, but trap shooters have adopted the 12-gauge, as it is lightor und can be thrown on an object quicker. One and_one-quarter ounces of shot_ire used in twelve boves, and as that is the limit allowed thereis no advantage in a lavge gun A 19-gauge gun_might be better for game shootiug, especially when the hunter is after meat, but the 12-gauge will kil as far and can be handled on game much quicker. There is still another nitro, the Walsrode of Walsrode, Prussia, represented in_this country by Oscar Hesse of Red Banlk, N. J., which is rapidly pushiug itself into promi nent notice in this country, ns well as all others where the shot gun is used. As for mpself, 1 have had no opportunity as yet to test its worth. Those who have tried it however, claim that it is entirely indifferent to atmospheric changes, g ot a hard veu grain, can be stored for years without alfecting its efficacy in the slightest detail, ven in a very damp climate. The smoke arising on discharge is the next thing to being absolutely impercoptible, ame is_truly a smokeless powder, superior to any other in ular.

The racing men are now divided into three classes—the professional, maker's amateur and pure amateur—the first, accordiug to the ruling of the national racing board of the League of American Wheelmen is one who races for cash purses or gains u livelihood by means of bicycle cacing; the maker's amateur is one who receives asalary and whose expenses are reimbur by some manufacturer or impor. ter of some’ particular make of machine ostensibly for the purpose of advertising the particulur make which he represents. The last named class is one who races for prizes suuctioned hy the league which in no constitute any sum of money, no mutt small. The national racing rules League of American Wheelmen wiclug for cash, therefore ouly cne class of racing men who can hifully compete under the protecting wing of the organization, namely the simon pure amateur. The national racing board “which wet in New York quite receutly con- l place case how of the prohibit there s cluded to which gov mend the present racing rules rn all contests of speed on the bi cyele by creating two classes for racing men, t0 be known as classes A and B. Class A covers the simon pure amatenr and class B throws a protecting cloak over the maker's amateur, who now is_compelled to receive his little allowance of cash secretly for fear of suspension. There now arises a great howl among a certain class of slmen, aided and abetted by a few scheming backers and sporting sharks, for s. “Give us cash prizes and we will you bicycle racing as is racing.” Never!the amateur docs not_ wi h prizes; to offer such would only tend to degrade the sport and re- plenish the ranks of the now fast disappear- ing professional. The racing board should be firm in its decision and put a quietus at once upon the clamoring. In the end no one would be benefitted, aud the time would soon come when the land would be filled with grand stand riders and bickering semi-professionals. Much better let the amateur racing rules stand as they are, the racers being divided into two classes, than to give in gnd abolish the old rules governing prizes and allow the riders asa whole to e for whatever purse would be hung up. Why would hanging up a cash prize insur the public of a better race than the offering of a gold medal or some other trophy of the same value? The cash prize advocate insists it would. It stands to reason that it would not. What if a purse of 1,00 was hung up for & certain race. Tom, Dick and Harry find themselves competitors; they are men “who form a class who travel around from one race meet to the other, gobbling up just such purses: they also find that they are just a little bit faster than the average racer. What is there to prevent the trio from. dividing the pot among themselves! They will do it every time, and the public will'pay its quarters inat the gate to see the dear fellows pedal “like mad to pa h other” and win out at the finish, No, gentlemen, the cash prize sys- tem should bo kept out of the cyeling racing circles. Bicycle racing has never such a marked pub‘ic interest or advanc in such a systematic way as at_the present time. The fostering wings of the League of American Wheelmen have been the means of this. The sport has been protectdd and developed in many ways through the agency of the league. Once let the cash prize sys tem take a firm hold and the sport will tot ter from its present high pedestal and crash into a thousand fragments, careying with it the league. By all means let us have the present prize system and the protection of the league rather than the demoralizing ef: fect of cash purses and tho ultimate ruina tion of the sport. Under the uew rules a competitor in class A will not be compete for prizes exceeding in 250, and such trophics are ouly t include medals, wreaths, diplomas, plate, jetvels, ete. These prizes cannot be changed. ~ This' will insure to the patrons of the sport bona fide races, true exhibitions of sy nd pluck—the ‘men who wins will ride to excel, not to get his share of the prize money. The rules governing class B were compiled, no doubt, t protect the maker's amateur and make him feel satisflod under the jurisdiction of the league author ities. The old rules made no provision for this class of gentlemen, hence the frequent sus pensions whenever any of them were impru dent enough to admit that they were not paying their own expenses, ete. The class B amateur may compete for prizes of any value, there being no limit, but it must not be cash. He may have his expenses, training or traveling, paid by a manufacturer or club he may also_receive pay for riding any cer tain make of machine in races. IHe can ¢ change prizes. He cannot compete in races in class A, but riders in class A can ride against him. These rules are very strict, and when a man has been once declared o professional and suspended he cannot b reinstated. To race for a cash prizo is to lose one's amateur status, which is just as it should be. The amateur, especially in bicycle racing, should represent the sport, and”cn suragement should be given him by dis countenancing any attempts made to lead him astray by tempting him with a bag of coin. Athletics in general would be placed upon o higher plane if this was carried out to the lette The Nebraska Fleld Trial:, Frequently Tue Bre receives lettegs requesting the sporting editor to agitate the project of State or interstate fleld trials, such as are held in Indiana, Missouri and southern states, and Tur Beg, of course, will do all in ise power to assist in such a schieme and offers its columns to all interested in this line of sport to make suggestions as to the best way of bringing together the sports- men in a convention where an organization could be completed. It is suggested that a meeting be called at Omaha during the State Sportsmen’s association meeting next spring or that the Omaha Kennel club take the matter in hand. A Nebraska state field trial will certainly be one of the more impor- tant and interesting sporting events in the near future. Field trials have probably done more toward improving the ~hunting dog than dog shows and newspaper talk could in fifty years. They have also done a great deal to protect ‘and propagate our game. Some of the wealthiest and most influential men in the country are interested in this line and have used their influenc and money to get laws introduced and passe: to protect the game. We must soon get our lawmakers interested or Nebraska will be like Ohio, Missouri. New York and many other states, have no game to protect. There is more or less talk at all gun club and sportsmen’s association meetings as_to protection of game, but that is the end of it, and talk don't scare market hunters a little bit, when they can sell prairie chickens for $6 4 dozen, and young quail for #4 a dozen. The only Way to protect the game is for someone who has had experience to formu- Iate a law for the open seasons, which should be short, say from the 15th of August to the 15th of October; or possibly November on prairie chicken or sharp tail grouse, and from the 1st of October to the 1st of Décem- ber on quail, aud push it _through the legislature.

Thecountry town merchant does not dare make com plaint, as he has a_business which is more important to protect than a quail or chicken A farmer won't inform on o market hunter, as this individual buys him off.
