EXPERTS WITH A PISTOL.
Some Wonderful Records Made by French-

Some Wonderful Records Made by French-
men-M. Bonson's Deadly Aim.
Target shooting with the pistol Is
practiced but little in this country
says the New York Herald. Within
the last five years, however, IL has
been taken up by some as a pastme
Prior TO the war pistol practice was
by no means uncommon, but the rife
supplanted the smaller weapon to a
large extent when hostillties began.
Now pistol shooting, or rather re.
volver shooting Is growing in favor
again. In France IL is claimed that
there are more expert pistol shots
than In any other country This is
open to dispute, particularly by Amer
leans. but II is pretty safe to assert
that there is more target pistol shoot
Ing and more interest in IL in France
than In any other land. At the last
annual tournament, held at the gal
lery OF Gastinne Renette II Avenue
dAntin, Paris, there was plenty of
evidence OF the Frenchmens skill
with the pistol The scores were
probably the best ever made In
France These tournaments continue
about a month. and are participated
IN by the best amateur pistol shots in
France. To win prize Ia considered
a great honor. AT the last tourna-
ment, recently concluded, the premier
prize was won by Monsieur II. Bon
zon. This gentleman Is considered
to be the peer Of all the pistol shots
In Paris. His remarkable perform
ance was accomplished at a distance
OF sixteen metres (fifty-two and one
half feet) and the bulls.eye was one
and one-elghth inches in diameter.
For the first time In the history OF
this famous gallery-the oldest In
Europe-the use of reyolvers was
permitted, and 1t will be a source Of
prize to America to know that NJ
Bon. on used revolver OF American
make II carried 4i.caliber ball.
NJ. BonZon fired six shots at the
target. Not only did each strike the
bulfs-eye, but each took of a portion
of the carton, the small white disk
In the center. which Is only three
eighths of an inch in diameter. For
this wonderful bit of Workmanship
M. BUnzon was awarded the grand
medal OF honor. a prize greatly COW
eted, but seldom won. The second
prize at this tournament was won by
M. Molinie- Paget, who scored forty
eight points by sending six out OF
seven bullets square into the bulls.
eye. Several competitors scored
forty-seven points The illustration,
which shows the work of NJ. q.
Kohn, in firing at the word OF COM
mand, gives further idea Of the
prowess OF the Frenchmen with a
pistol. as does also the one showing
the steadiDess OF M. Bon1on in per-
forating the target, scoring tilty
points
The flrearm generally used i1 these
competitions is very similar In size,
shape and weight to the old dueling

ten inches long and carries 3S-cali.

tried In the last tournament and was
universally commended. 1t made
but little noise and produced scarcely
visible fugitive smoke that vanished
