Who found the Sights? 



Mr. W. Ddtcher, of Paterson, N. J., writes us a follows, under date 

 of July 19: "I was rather unfortunate at the National Schuetzerf est, 

 as during the shoot I lost a box of sights belonging to my rifle. After 

 th« day's work, and after cleaning my rifle on July 7, I must have 

 miBlaid them, as they are not in my case. They were in a U M. C. 

 primier box with a yellow label on it, and consisted of a Vernier 

 windguage set with a pinhead, spirit level and aperture sight, along 

 with some screws for set triggers which were wrapped in paper and 

 placed in the box. I did not miss them until this afternoon, when I 

 was looking over my case. Will you please mention in your next iBSue 

 that the finder will be rewarded on their return to me." 



All ties divided unless otherwise reported.

Just as we were going to press last week we received a postal card 

 from Jack Parker, asking us to claim, on behalf of his Des-Chree-Shos- 

 Ka shoot, the dates of Sept. 10-13. "We found time to get the notice a 

 place In fixtures, but were unable to call attention to the dates in a 

 proper manner. For the same reason we were also unable to call at- 

 tention to the change of dates for the Utica. N. Y., two days' shoot. 

 Sept. 4 and 5 are the dates now claimed, in place of Sept. 2 and 3 orig- 

 inally fixed upon. Another change of dates to be recorded this week 

 are those for the Frederick, Md., Gun Club's tournament. The dates 

 now decided upon are Aug. 28, 29. The reason for the latter change 

 is the clashing of the previous dates with those of the Pennsylvania 

 State shoot. 



Mr. H. Brown, one of the best shots in the Binghamton, N. Y., Gun 

 Club, writes under date of July 17 as follows: "In reply to personal 

 letters, the Binghamton Gun Club has the assuranceof the attendance 

 of enough trap-shooters (including the 8 or 10 home shooters who will 

 go right through the programme) to enable it to hold a good big shoot. 

 The club has therefore decided to hold a two days' shoot on August 

 7. 8. A new set of Clover traps will be used during the tournament. 

 Programmes follow later." 



"U. M. C." Thomas looked in at this office on Monday afternoon last 

 Thomas invariably chooses our busiest days for a call, but one can't 

 get mad with "TJ. M. C." On Monday he was full of the Macon Inter- 

 state, from which he had just returned, and which he classed as one 

 of the most successful ever held by the Association. Speaking of the 

 New Orleans shoot, Thomas said it was sure to be a good one, adding 

 that the Louisiana boys say that the breeze from the water keeps things 

 cool and pleasant at their grounds. 



TheU. M. C. Company and the Winchester Rapaating Arms Com- 

 pany have placed on the market rifia and revolver cartridges loaded 

 with an American smokeless rifle powder, manufactured at Oakland, 

 N. J., by the American E. C. Powder Company. From the satisfac- 

 tion which the«e cartridges have given during the past few months, 

 it looks as if there was going to be as big a revolution in rifle and 

 revolver powders as there was a few years back in powders for'shot- 

 guns. 



Sportsmen of Perth Amboy, N. J., are moving in the right direction. 

 They have organized a gun club under the title of the Central Gun 

 Club. Its officers are: Pres., Spencer Dayton; Vice-Pres., James M. 

 Glenn; Sec, H. J. Mason; Treas., Herbert Dayton. Directors, Samuel 

 Van Horn, Wm. Dayton, Wm. Hartmann. Finance Committee, George 

 Eggert, Jas. L. Tooker, Jr., Samuel Hornsby. The initial shoot took 

 place on Saturday afternoon last, July 20. 



Is the English bluerock pigeon really as hard to "hit as they say it 

 isf Every American who has shot pigeons at Hurlingham or at the 

 Gun Club is asked that time and again. For answer he can point to 

 some statistics taken from the London Field of July 6, which appear 

 elsewhere. It will be noticed that the percentage of birds killed at 

 the Gun Club during the International week was only 71% — the same 

 percentage as last year. 



The Boiling Springs Gun Club, of Rutherford, N. J., will hold an all- 

 day shoot on Saturday, Aug. 3. The entire proceeds of the shoot will 

 be donated to the fund now being raised to aid the sufferers at Cherry 

 Hill, N. J., who lost relatives and property in the disastrous cyclone 

 that completely annihilated that little town on the afternoon of July 

 13. 



The Clarke Hardware Company, of Atlanta, Ga., announces that it 

 will hold its annual three-days' tournament on Oct. 23-25. The com- 

 pany will add $600 to the purses. The attractions at Atlanta at that 

 time 6hould be additional incentive to trap-shooters to attend this 

 tournament. 



According to late dispatches from Aix-les-Bains, Fred Hoey is still 

 giving a good account of himself. As Hoey is about as good an ama- 

 teur pigeon shot as anv in the United States, Americans can get a 

 good line through his work as to the quality of the birds furnished in 

 Europe. 



This is an actual fact: Miss W. talking to the wife of a well-known 

 frequenter of trap tournaments, "What does your husband shoot at 

 this time of the year, Mrs. B. ? " Mrs. B., "Only clay pigeons " Miss 

 "W. (hesitatingly), "I don't believe I've ever eaten any of them; have 

 you?" 



The Home City Gun Club, of Springfield, O., has arranged a series 

 of monthly "amateur shoots." All professionals are barred. The 

 first of these monthly shoots takes place July 30, when a good turn- 

 out is expected. 



Louis Schortemeier had a picnic at the 21 yards mark in the New 

 York German Gun Club's shoot on July 17. Dr. Hudson under the 

 club's rules conceded "Schorty" nine yards and gave him a good 

 race too. 



Messrs. Wlebusch & Hilger, 94-98 Chambers street, New York city, 

 and the Hazard Powder Co., 44-48 Cedar street, New York city, are 

 the two most recent additions to the ranks of the Interstate Asso- 

 ciation. 



A notice is given elsewhere of the programme of the Interstate 

 Association's tournament at New Orleans, August 9, 10, the tournament 

 being held under the au3pices of the Louisiana Gun Club. 



The "White Plains (N. Y.) Gun Club, will hold its monthly shoot on 

 Aug. 15 at its grounds, Oakley avenue. Shooting commences at 9 

 A. M. The shoot will be at bluerocks and live birds. 



W. P. Rayland O'Rags"), secretary of the Rome, N. Y., Gun Club, 

 announces that that club will hold a three-days' tournament on 

 Aug. 8-10. Edward Banks. 



Endeavor Gun Club.

 J. The attendance was good, considering the extremely hot weather.

Michigan City Gun Club. 



Michigan City, Miss., July 16.— An interesting team race was shot 

 on our club grounds on Thursday last for a side wager— Brewer and 

 Tray vs. McCarley and Hardaway. The match was at 25 singles per 

 man. The targets were thrown at unknown angles and low, and the 

 day was also dark, which made the shooting very hard. Scores:

The Schmelzer Midsummer Tournament. 



f IKansas City, Mo., July 10.— The second annual midsummer tourna- 

 ment of the Schmelzer ArmB Co. was brought to a close to-dav at 

 4:45. A. Pugh fired the last gun. The tournament was held at Fair- 

 mount Park, which is located on the Air Line Railroad about eight 

 miles from the city. It can be reached by rail. trainB running out 

 there about every forty-five minutes. The park is a summer resort, 

 beautifully laid out, having settees, swings, dancing pavilion, an ele- 

 gant bathing beach, a lake with boats and boat house, a bear pit and 

 a crystal maze, while at night an opera company gives performances 

 in a large pavilion reserved for that purpose. Meals could be bad on 

 the grounds at all hours, and through the courtesy of J. A. R. Elliott 

 arrangements were made whereby those who desired could also ob- 

 tain sleeping accommodations at the grounds. The shooting grounds 

 were located at the east end of the park, inside the bicycle track. 

 Three sets of five bluerock traps, with North's electric pulls, were 

 used. The traps were set in a straight line, about. 30ft. separating 

 each set from the other. At the score awnings had been erected the 

 entire length to protect the shooters from the sun and rain. The traps 

 faced north and the targets were thrown moderately fast. The screens 

 that protected the trappers were the highest we have ever seen, and 

 for that reason the targets had to be thrown well up. The back- 

 ground was not good; in fact, It was rather a difficult one. To the 

 left of the score was a high grand stand, that interfered with the view 

 of the targets going that way; while just beyond the park fence, di- 

 rectly ahead, stood several large trees that made it rather difficult to 

 judge targets thrown that way. To the right of the traps the ground 

 rose abruptly; this being covered with trees and a large confield, it was 

 rather against the shooter obtaining a good view of targets thrown in 

 that direction. At this shoot there was no blackboard, and 

 only one copy of the scores was taken. This made it a lit- 

 tle difficult for the newspaper men to get the scores, but they 

 should not mind so trifling a matter. In the rear of the score a 

 number of tents were set up where the shooters could while away the 

 time when not shooting, but they were not the coolest place on the 



f rounds by any means, especially on Tuesday and Wednesday, when 

 he thermometer registered 100 in the shade. On Thursday morning 

 it rained for several hours; this cooled the atmosphere somewhat, 

 although in the afternoon it got very hot again, while a thunderstorm 

 was brewing and several heavy showers fell. That night a terrible 

 wind and rain storm struck this vicinitv; several of the tents were 

 blown down, one of which was the ammunition tent and a great many 

 shells got wet, a number of which were worthless. By morning it had 

 ceased raining, and the air was delightfully cool and pleasant; but 

 when the shooters arrived on the grounds they presented a rather 

 dilapidated appearance, and the mud was several inches depp. The 

 attendance, while not so large as was expected, was good and held up 

 wonderfully well until the last day, when there was a marked falling 

 off In the number of entries; 79 was the largest number taking part in 

 any event. This is quite a creditable showing when one considers 

 that a man had to shoot over 90 per cent, to win anything. This was 

 an amateur shoot, but if all the experts in the country had partici- 

 pated the company could not have been any hotter. All events were 

 shot under the walk-around system of known traps and angles, and 

 these Western shooters seem to have them gauged about right; no 

 matter whether it was a 15 or a 50-bird race one had to break straight 

 to get in for first. Several shooters broke 100 straight during the 

 tournament, and unless one could shoot a 95 per cent, gait there was 

 little chance to win anything, as all ties had to be shot off, and when 

 an ordinary shooter happened to scratch into first place he was in- 

 variably shot out. This caused a great deal of dissatisfaction among 

 these shooters. No one was permitted to win more than one first 

 prize on any day, nor more than two during the tournament. When 

 a shooter won a first prize the remainder of that day he never made 

 any effort to go straight, as to do so would shoot him out. Several 

 shooters openly boasted of having missed their last bird intentionally. 



Jack Parker managed the shoot. Like all shoots under his super- 

 vision, everything was kept running smoothly; not only did he look 

 after the traps, but he also made up sweeps and handled the cash in 

 these events. There are a number of tournament managers in the 

 country, but they must all doff their hats to Jack, for he is the prince 

 of them all. Jack only increased his friends by the number of ac- 

 quaintances that he made. Ed. Hickman also contributed In no small 

 way to keep the shoot running. He acted as squad hustler on one set 

 of traps, and he generally had his squads up when they were wanted. 

 The local shooters are not target shots and really care little for the 

 sport. Their game is live pigeon shooting, and for this reason only a 

 few local men took part in the shoot; but the non-resident shooters 

 were there in force, Kansas especially being well represented. Among 

 those whom your correspondent met during the shoot were the fol-
