FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Aug. 31, 1895. 



Pennsylvania's State Shoot. 



The Keystone Shooting League, of Philadelphia, Pa., has no cause Tor 

 a quarrel with the clerk of the weather. It could hardly have picked 

 better weather for its three days of target shooting on Aug. 30, 21 and 

 22, even if it had been allowed that privilege. Friday, Aug. 23, the live 

 bird day, was perhaps a trifle too warm and sultry, but one can't have 

 everything in this world. The fact remains that the weather which 

 graced the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's Association's fifth annual 

 tournament, which was held at Holmesburg Junction on the above 

 dates, under the auspices and on the grounds of the Keystone Shoot- 

 ing League, was just about perfect for the business in hand. So much 

 for the climatic conditions. Now for 



THOSE WHO WHERE THERE. 



There are many problems that are easier to solve than that which 

 every management has to face when making preparations for a tour- 

 nament — How many entries shall we have? If the estimate made is 

 below the actual number that puts in an appearance, the accommoda- 

 tions are voted as inferior, the management incompetent, and shooters 

 don't get as much shooting as they expected and wanted to have, 

 hence many go away disgruntled. On the other hand, if the number 

 in attendance falls short of the estimate, there is a feeling of disap- 

 pointment manifest everywhere and there is an appearance of a fizzle 

 about the tournament, which is often more fancied than actual. In 

 making preparations for its guests, the Keystone League had carefully 

 thought out everything and had left nothing to be desired on the part 

 of the shooters. Still the number that arrived was not up to expecta- 

 tions. 



here's a list 



of those who were present: J. O'H. Denny, Ligonier; S. L. Sharp, 

 Ephrata; James H. Worden, H. B. Shoop ("Brewster".), H. A. Dill 

 ("Henry"), W. H. Brensinger ("Sullivan"), and W. Hepler ("Welling- 

 ton"), all of Harrisburg; James Schmeck, John Shaaber, C. Bitter, L. 

 Wertz, B. Harrison and O. L Melott, Beading; J. M. Bunk, Chambers- 

 burg; H. Buckwalter and Johnson, Royersford; W. G. Clark, E. J. 

 "Adams" and J. H. "Kane," Altoona; J. Bei.ning, Allentown; W. H. 

 Stroh, West Pittston; W. H. Burnham. Yorl ; M. M, McMillan, Maha- 

 noyCity; M. E. Miller, Stroudsburg; J. B. Yost, Norrisrown; H. E. 

 Anderson, G. S. Franklin and Wiley, Lancaster; H. L. Moore, E. F. 

 Both and J. G. Martin, Wilkesbarre; L. S«-artz, Lansdale; H. H. 

 Meyers, Columbia; D. Longeneeker, an ex-Harrisburger, now of 

 Philadelphia, etc., etc. The local clubs were represented by W. H., J. 

 H. and I. H. Wolstencroft, three brothers that know how to shoot; 

 Joseph Thurman and his son Harry ("Father Time") Thurman; Joe 

 Learning, the Keystone's hustling captain; H. "Landis" David. H. 

 "Henry," W. Paddock, Howard Bid e, W. Wilson, Frank Kleinz, T. S. 

 "Thomas," J. Bergner, N. Swope, Howard French, J. W. Evans and 

 others. From 



OUTSIDE THE KEYSTONE STATE 



came: L. W. Bicaise, Charleston, S. C; Lou Erhardt, Atchison, Kan. ; 

 Harvey McMurchy, of the Syracuse Arms Company, with his fellow- 

 citizen, "Uncle Dan" Lef ever, of the Lefever Arms Company; A. W. 

 duBray, Dayton, Ky., shooting and talking the Parker gun; F. Van 

 Dyke, Dayton, N. J., representing the Winchester Arms Company; 

 Gus E. Greiff, from Von Lengerke & Detmold, with his box of Fran- 

 cotte guns and his samples of Schultze powder; T. H. Keller, of Plain- 

 field, N. J., representing the U. S. Cartridge Company; Neaf Apgar, 

 also of Plainfield, shooting Walsrode to the front; another Plainfleld 

 man was the ever welcome Charlie (otherwise "Duteby") Smith; M. 

 Herrington, the New York representative of the W." A. smokeless 

 powder; Fred. Quimby, New York, of the Empire Target Company, 

 and general agent for the American E. C. Powder Company; Chas S. 

 Hebbard, Elizabeth, N. J., manager of the Empire Target Company; 

 Mrs. M. F. Liodsley ("Wanda"), the wife of Milt. F. Lindsley, who is 

 now busy down in the Buckeye State preparing King's Smokeless for 

 the fall market; E. D. Fulford, Utica, N. Y. ; C. H. Burbridge, Hart- 

 ford, Conn.; Chamberlain, Wilmington, Del.; "Uncle Billy" Sigler, 

 Montclair, N. J.; I. W. Budd, Pemberton, N. J.; Mahlon H. Bupell, 

 Milford, N. J., and others whose names have slipped our memory. A 

 goodly list, after all, isn't it? 

 The main event on the open set of traps was the 



E. C. POWDER COMPANY'S CUP 



contest. This was a 100-target handicap race, unknown angles, handi- 

 caps ranging from 1 to 10 extra targets. The 100-targets were divided 

 up into two events of 50 targets each, one 50 shot on the first day. the 

 other 50 on the second day. The winner turned up in E. D. Fulford, 

 who broke 96 out of his 100; this, with one extra target, making a 

 total of 97. Billy Wolstencroft broke 94 out of his 100 and also his 

 two extra targets, scoring 96 in all. Through an oversight, Fulford's 

 extra target was not counted, the scores being thought to be a tie on 

 96 each. A shoot-off at 25 targets was the result; this Wolstencroft 

 won and took the cup, but only pro few-., promptly returning it to Ful- 

 ford when the mistake above referred to was discovered. It was the 

 irony of fate, perhaps, that Schultze powder should provide the win- 

 ner and runner-up for an E. C. cup! Fulford always shoots the U. M. 

 C. Company's factory-loaded ammunition, with Schultze loaded in the 

 company's Trap shell. Both he and Billy Wolstencroft shot Greener 

 guns. It is worth noting that Neaf Apgar was the only scratch man 

 on the list. 



On the set of traps reserved for State competitions the chief feature 

 of the first day's programme was the 



INDIVIDUAL CHAMPJONSnW 



of the State of Pennsylvania at targets. This trophy was won in ex- 

 cellent style by W. H. Burnham, a member of the York City Gun 

 Club, after a tie with "Brewster" on 47 out of 50. The tie was shot off 

 at 25 targets, Burnham defeating his opponent by the score of 23 to 20. 

 W. Wolstencroft missed his 50th target, thus spoiling the chance of 

 three ties for the trophy presented by the firm of which he is a mem- 

 ber, Wm. Wolstencroft & Sons. Mr. Burnham, whose victory was a 

 very popular one. shot a Scott gun, using Wood powder in a U.'M. C. 

 Smokeless shell; Brewster shot a Smith gun, using DuPonfs Smoke- 

 less in a similar shell. 



During the second day's shooting two trophieB were disoosed of— 

 the American Wood Powder Company's three-men team trophy and 

 the HarriBburg Shooting Association's trophy for the six-men team 

 championship of the State. The first-named trophy was won by the 

 Independent Gun Club ot Reading, whose trio, Schmeck, Shaaber and 

 Bitter, is a strong combination, although Bitter fed down to 23 out 

 of 35—25 singles and 5 pairs. Keystone No. 1— W. W , Landis and 

 Tredway— was second, with the No. 2 team of the same club close up 

 with four breaks less to its credit. The shooting of the Harrisburg 

 team in this event was a mystery to its rooters-69 out of a possible 

 105! The 



HARRISBURG SHOOTING ASSOCIATION TROPHY 



was won by a team representing the donor of the cup, thus avenging 

 to a great extent the ignominious defeat in the three-men team race. 

 As the next tournament of the association, and consequently the next 

 contest for the trophy, takes place at Harrisburg in '!)(>, under the aus- 

 pices of the Harrisburg Shooting Association, it will be no easy matter 

 for any team to take this trophy away from the Capital City. 

 Thursday, Aug. 22, saw the contest for the 



READING SHOOTING ASSOCIATION TROPHY 



emblematic of the five-men team championship of the State. Such 

 poor scores as were made in this trophy contest have very seldom 

 been recorded at the Pennsylvania State shoots. The scores on this 

 day were in marked contrast to those registered last year at Altoona, 

 when the fourth annual tournament was held on the brow of 

 Wopsononock Mountain. On that occasion the Philadelphia quintette 

 made the great score of 121 out of a possible 125. This year the Key- 

 stone Shooting League took it with the score of 103, the Harrisburg 

 men being four points behind them with 99, Reading brought up the 

 rear with 95. 



Before passing on to the detailed and tabulated scores a few words 

 are necessary to explain just what accommodationa had been pro- 

 vided by the members of the Keystone Shooting League for its guests. 

 First and foremost the club possesses 



AN EXCELLENT CLUB HOUSE, 



' fitted from end to end, and from ground floor to roof tree, with every- 

 > thing necessary for one's comfort. As will be seen by the aecom- 

 i panying cut, it is a two story building of a very neat type. Its dimen- 

 sions are sufficient to accommodate fifty shooters witn ease. The 

 < photograph from which the cut was made was taken by Billy Wol- 

 i stencroft, who is somewhat of an amateur photographer it would 



i seem. 



As stated below, three sets of traps had been placed in position, and 

 t" the shooters at the score were protected by an ample awning. Lunch 

 t was provided in a large tent near the entrance gate; thus a stoppage 

 r of the shooting for the purpose of adjourning for lunch was done 

 c away with. In the cashier's office Billy Garbin was in command His 

 * good nature made it a little difficult to get a full set of the scores as 

 o the newspaper men were allowed full sway inside his little office, an 

 c accommodation that was somewhat abused. 



c It isn't often that one has a chance to make more than passing 



ii mention of the & 



V' SQUAD HUSTLERS, 



but on this occasion we must pay a special compliment to Captain Joe 

 Learning, Secretary John C. Shailcross and Harry Thurman for their 

 r( labors on behalf of the success of the shoot. Mr.Leaming'senergy and 

 pl undaunted enthusiasm on Friday, when the weather was ultra warm 

 t r deserves special recognition at the hands of his club. Squad hustling 

 tj< may seem an easy thing to ordinary attendants at a shoot, but only 

 those who have conscientiously tried to do their duty in that station 

 of life can fully appreciate what such duties demand. 



The balance of the story of the fifth annual Pennsylvania State 

 Sportsmen's Association's tournament must be left to the scores, a 

 perusal of which will readily tell the results in the various events. 

 Bear in mind that the initials "W. W.," "J. W." and "I. H. W." are 

 used in place of the long surnames of the Wolstencroft brothers. 



First Day. 



As there were two sets of traps and two different programmes, one 

 open to all, the other open only to members of the association, it has 

 been thought best to place the scores made at each set of traps in dif- 

 ferent tables for the purpose of readier reference.
