A Change in Shooting Ruies.

The American Shooting association, an Or
ganiZation that was never intended to in
struct or enhance the skill of the shooter,
but simply to advance the interests of the
manufacturer of fire arms, munitions and
targets, has virtually collapsed, and the
American gunner need not view the event in
the light of a calamity either. The disband-
ng of this organization means lapse back
to the old rules, under which it isn't such an
easy matter to kill way up in tho nineties,
either artificial or live birds. The Hurting
ham rules under which the gun must be held
below the elbow until the bird is actually on
the wing, are tho rules that call into requisi-
tion all the nerve and dexterity of the
shooter, and should govern all big monied
matches.
The American rules allow the shooter to
hold the gun in any position. and this one
simple privilege has been the cause of the in
Vulnerable big scores piled mp all over the
country by shooters who would only make u
fair showing under the Hurlingham If a
man is allowed to stand at the score with his
gun to his shoulder ho is enabled to cover
his bird the moment it leaves the trap, and
consequently the chances for "lxilln are
twofold better than under the old rules.

piled TO the white-fronted goose, (Anser
Albifrons) which is frequently called
"brantn out this way. This bird has head
and neck of grayish brown, with breast and
sides blotched with patches of black, inter
mixed with gray and brown, and the only
one of the goose family that would furnish
an excuse for the term tiger brant." The
