The Rochester Tournament. 



WARM COMPANY AT THE FLOWER CITY SHOOT. 



The Rochester, N. Y., Rod and Gun Olub, when if. picked its dates 

 for its fourth annual tournament ran a risk of being left out in the 

 cold, as the fag end of a shooting season doesn't often bring forth 

 successful shoots. The boys are all pretty well played out, so far as 

 attending tournaments goes, when the month of September arrives. 

 This year there has been an abundance of tournaments, we might 

 truthfully say a superabundance, because we cannot help thinking 

 that the tournameno craze, which has been a marked feature of the 

 trap-shooting season of 1895. has been rather too rampant, and that 

 the reaction may be hurtful to the best interests of the sport. 



But tournaments like that which was brought to a close at Roches- 

 ter, N. Y., on Thursday afternoon, Sept. 26, are not in any degree 

 hurtful to the sport. It was productive of much good fellowship and 

 was full to overflowing with that spirit of ' generous emulation" so 

 often referred to in the constitutions of gun clubs. It was not a 

 money-grabbing tournament ehher. If there was any dropping for 

 place we did not notice it, and only one instance that seemed to sug- 

 gest such methods was called to our notice. This tournament was 

 really a gathering together of 



A BAND OK BBOTHERS, 



all full of life, and all aiming to get the honorable post of high 

 average. 



Amongthose who were there were: G. S. McAlpin, of New York 

 city; C. H- Burbridg?, Hartford, Conn.; Eddie Collins, Hoboken, N. .T.; 

 Chas. Wagner, Syracuse, N. Y.; ,E. D. and J. Fulford, Utica, N. Y. ; 

 Ralph Redwing Worthington, of Cleveland, O.; Harry Whitney, 

 Phelps, N.Y.J F. D. Kelsey. East Aurora, N. Y. ; C. Lane, North 

 ■Barma, N. Y.; G. W. Kendall and C. W. Hobbie, Binghamton, N. Y.; 

 I E. Brigdenand James Carr, Auburn, N. Y.; Dutchv Smith, Plain- 

 fleld, N. J ; A. Rickman, John Lowden and C. Skinner, Greece, N. Y.; 

 George Wride, Sndus, N. Y. ; E. F. Hammond, East Ashford, N. Y., etc. 



The craft was well represented, those particularly termed "cracka- 

 jacks" being considerably in evidence: Rolla O Heikes, Ferd Van 

 .Dyke and Jack Parker representing the Winchester Repeating Arms 

 Company; Capt. A. W. Money, of the American E. C. Powder Com- 

 pany; Harvey McMurchy, carrying the L C. Smith gun well to the 

 front once more; Dan Lefever, of the Lefever Arms Company; T. H. 

 Keller, of the U. S. Cartridge Company; O. R. Dickey, of Boston, 

 Mass., a dangerous man for anybody to tackle judging from the way 

 he and his Parker gun scored straights; George jflosher, of tbe Hollen- 

 beck Gun Company, and Capt. B, A. Bartlett, of the Burgess Gun 

 Company, Buffalo, N. Y., who won new honors f or his guu ou the last 

 day of the shoot. One must not forget also Wanda, Mrs. M. F. Linds- 

 ley, of King s Smokeless, who was in too poor health to sbow correctly 

 what she can do to the targets. W. Fred Quiinby, of the Empire 

 Target Company, was also on hand, but was not shooting. 



THE HOME CLUB 



was well represented: H. M. Slocum Stewart, E. C. Meyers. Slip 

 Glovf r, L. V. Byer, Dr. Weller, John Norton, W. 0. Hadley, H. Perry, 

 etc , helping to make the shoot a success. 



The Rochester Rod and Gun Club is certainly a live organization. It 

 has erected within the past two years a really excellent club house, 

 fitted within and without just as a model club house should be. It is 

 located a few yards or so beyond the city limits on the north side of 

 Cobb's Hill, and faces the Wide water of the Erie Canal, into whose 

 depths many tons of lead have fallen after being aimed at targets 

 thrown from the gun club's traps. The background is not perfect by 

 any means, but still it cannot be considered a hard one, judging from 

 the scores made at this shoot. Water, trees and distant houses, how- 

 ever, do not form a good combination for a target background. The 

 club, which was organized in 1S91, has for its officers: President, H. 

 M. Stewart; Vice-President, W. C. Hadley; Secretary, John P. Mullan ; 

 Treasurer, City Treasurer Sam B. Williams; Shooting Master, L, V. 

 Byer. 



In arranging the programme for its shoot the club decided to add 

 $500 to the purses as a drawing card for shooters. This sum of $500 

 was not added in driblets— a little to each event— but was partitioned 

 into good lump sums and added to certain events. This scheme 

 seemed to work well and appeared to be perfectly satisfactory to the 

 shooters. Some of the "pots" were well worth getting. Yet there 

 were no realiy big winners at this tournament. There were too many 

 good shots, and straights were common indeed; we cannot recall a 

 Bhoot at wliich so many were made. Carr won the best "pot" of the 

 shoot by breaking a loue 25 straight in No. 6 on the first day. 



The weather, except on the morning of the third day, as told later, 

 was all that could have been desired. It was not too hot and yet not 

 even chilly, the weather reminding one more forcibly of the glorious 

 days of the Indian summer rather than the efforts of an expiring 

 September. 



TWO BIG RUNS. 



The third day of the shoot was rather a startler. Everybody was 

 shooting "way up," but Bartlett and Meyers made the day a red-letter 

 one by making big runs. Meyers started his run of 189 straight in the 

 third event, in which he missed his first target, finishing tbe event 

 with 19. He followed this with 50 straight in the Walsrode contest, 

 and then made a 20 and a 25 straight in the 5th and 6th events. He 

 brought his run to a close by missing his 16th, 17th and 18th targets in 

 No. 7. 



Bartlett also started his run in the third event, in which he had 

 missed his 4th target. He didn't miss a single target in all the pro- 

 gramme events that remained to be decided, running out with 151 

 straignti Out of tne 195 targets he shot at, all at unknown angles, he 

 missed but rive, his 2d, 22d, 31st, 33d and 44th targets. Both he and 

 Meyers were warmly congratulated upon their good work. 



The programme was gotten tbrougn each day in good time. This 



warm squad— McMurchy, Heikes, Van Dyke, Dickey, Parker and Kel- 

 ler; it made some great team totals during the shoot. Another not 

 squad was the following: Fulford, Bartlett, Hammond, Redwing, 

 Vv hiwey and Kelsey. On the first day these two squads tied witb 

 grand totals of 893 breaks each; on the second day tbe "Pumper- 

 nickels" led by 2 targets, but on the third day their adversaries took 

 23 more than they did. 



GUNS, SHELLS AND POWDERS. 



A canvass of the guns and ammunition used by the principal shoot- 

 ers at this tournament resulted as follows:

In speaking of his load, Sim Glover was particularly enthusiastic, 

 declaring that he had at last found out what be wanted. Meyers shot 

 DuPont's Smokeless during the tournament until the Walsrode con- 

 test, in whica of course he had to use that powder. He used it for 

 the balance of the day, hence the two powders are given in the above 

 table.

The programme of events, so far as entrance moneys, added money 

 etc , is concerned, was precisely the same as that arranged for the first 

 day. 



THE THIRD DAY 



was one that was full of incidents of more than general interest. The 

 early morning was gusty, with lowering rainclouds that now and 

 again discharged heavy showers of rain which lasted anywhere from 

 10m. to half an hour. Of course the result is shown by the scores 

 made in the first two events. In No. 1, Jack Parker was the lucky 

 man. He arrived late on the grounds and shot as the last man on the 

 list. Nobody had a straight ahead of him, so Parker set to and 

 pumped out 20 breaks, a very nice thing indeed with 28 entries in the 

 event. 



Then the sun dispersed the clouds, the wind nearly died away the 

 targets were not going either so far or so fast as usual, and the 'boys 

 all had their eyes with them. Look at the records and see what was 

 done. The details of the Walsrode Powder contest, No. 4 on the pro- 

 gramme, are given below. And think of it— 48 out of 50 was ooly 

 worth $360, the entrance fee being $30, with $50 added to the purse! 

 The big runs made by Bartlett and Meyers are referred to above so 

 that we can pass by those features of the third day's shoot. ' 



HIS SQUAD SCORES. 



To give prominence to all the day's squad scores might be tedious 

 still it wouldn't do to pass over one or two worthy of special mention' 

 For instance, in event No. 3 on the third day, the fourth squad broke 

 118 out of 120, as follows: E. D. Fulford, Redwing, Whitney and Kel- 

 sey 20, Bartlett and Hammond 19, Bartlett missing his fourth target 

 in the event, that miss being his last one for the balance of the day in 

 all the programme events. 



In event 6 the same squad broke 142 out of 150: Bartlett 25 Ham- 

 mond, Redwing and Wnitney 24, E. D. Fulford 23, Kelsey 22. In the 

 same event the •■Pumpernickels" produced a unique score: Heikes 25 

 Van Dyke 24, McMurchy 23, Keller 22, Dickey 21 and Parker 20. ' 



THE SCHMBLZER TROPHY TIE. 



As is already well Known, Bartlett and Parker had tied on 92 each 

 in the Schmeizer Trophy contest at the Detroit shoot, the tie being 

 set for decision during to-day's shoot. The contest was productive of 

 much interest, shooters and non shooters crowding up to watch the 

 shoot-off. The conditions were 100 targets per man, traps pulled in 

 reverse order, the trophy representing the championship of I he world 

 at that particular stjle of shooting The light was certainly poor 

 and had much to do with the comparatively low scores, in addition to 

 which there was a good deal of delay owing to the targets breaking in 

 the traps and the battery giving out. As the score shows, Parker 

 -won easily by 85 to 80. The si art promised big scores, the end of the 

 thirty-third round showing Bartlett 33 to Parker's 31. The latter lost 

 the last two targets of the match through careless shooting; he had 

 previously run 24 straight. The full 100 targets per man were shot at 

 with no more rest than that afforded by the delays mentioned above 

 Score:

 Parker having won the toss sent Bartlett to the No. 1 trap score 

 taking No. 3 himself. The detailed score shows that the missed tar- 

 gets were distributed as follows:

The officials chosen by the two contestants were: T. H. Keller, ref- 

 eree; Edward Banks, of Forest and Stream, judge for Bartlett, and 

 Harvey McMurchy jud^e for Parker; pull«r, Eddie Collins; official 

 scorers, Jacob Pentz, of Shooting and Fishing, and Will K. Park, of 

 the Sporting Life. The usual work of the referee, that of calling 

 "dead" and "lost," wa* performed by Capt Bartlett's judge, who 

 stood slightly to the left of No. 1 score. McMurchv, at the right of 

 No. 5 score, watched the targets for hU man, while Keller sat behind 

 No. 3, ready to decide any differences of opinion. His work, however, 

 we are glad to say, was a sinecure, not a decision being challenged. 

 It should be mentioned that Bartlett, after missing his first bird, ran 

 32 straight before dropping another. In analyzing the above score it 

 must be borne in mind that each man had already fired 195 shots, and 

 that the traps were pulled in reverse order. 



SOME VERY HIGH SCORES 



were made in the Walsrode Powder contest, the conditions of which 

 were as follows: 50 bluerocks per man, $3 entrance, targets extra, 

 unknown angles, four moneys, and all contestants obliged to use Wals- 

 rode powder. All the shooters, with the exception of Heikes, Van 

 Dyke and Parker, used in this event shells loaded specially by Neaf Ap- 

 gar, of New York city. The scores show two Btraights, two with 49, 

 seven with 48, four with 47 and four with 46, the latter being shut out, 

 as there were only four moneys. Although McMurchy was credited 

 both on the manifold sheets and on the blackboard with 49, he says 

 himself that it was a mistake, as he broke but 48. His percentage of 

 the purse as a 49 man was $19 odd, but he refused to take it, as he said 

 he was sot entitled to it really. By this action he drew out only his 

 entrance, $3, the other $16 being handed to Whitney, who was thus 

 the only 49. The scores below are given just as they appear on the 

 manifold sheets:

SCORES IN THE PROGRAMME EVENTS 



shot on the third day are given below in the usual Forest and Stream 

 manner. On this day twenty shooters out of a total of only thirty- 

 seven made averages of 90 per cent, or better 1 If that isn't hot com- 

 pany, what would be considered such? Eleven shooters had averages 

 of 93 or better, Bartlett leading with 97.4. McMurchy's average, ac- 

 cording to the score sheets, was 95.3; taking his own statement that 

 he broke 48 and not 49 in the Walsrode contest, it would be 94.8, his 

 position as fourth on the list not being affected by such a change

general averages. 

 The club gave five premiums, $15, $12.50 $10, $7.50 and $5 to be 

 awarded to the five highest general avera es made in all the pro- 

 gramme events This necessitated a total number of 595 shots manv 

 excellent records being made. Glover by his great work on tbe last 

 two days beat Heikes out for second average, Redwing being close 

 after Rolla, who was off color on the last day. Bartlett's burst of 

 speed on the last day landed him just far enough in f ont of Van 

 Dyke to cut the latter out of fifth average. McMurchy (it seems 

 natural now to add of course) won first average with the capital repnrrt
