EXPERTS WITH A PISTOL.
Some Wonderful Records Made by French-
men ~ Bopxop.s Deadly Aim,

Some Wonderful Records Made by FrencL-
mcn-.M. Bcn,on'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 pastime.
Prior TO the war pistol practice was
by no means uncommon, but the rifle
supplanted the smaller weapon TO
large extent when hostilities 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 ~
open To dispute, particularly by Amer
leans, but IL 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
d'Antin, Paris, there was plenty of
evidence OF the Frenchmen's 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 is considered
great honor. Al the last tourna-
ment, re emily concluded, the PREMIER
prize was won 10y Monsieur Il Bon.
