Mr. G. M. Walden, president of the Missouri State Fish and Game 

 Protective Association, writes us under date of Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 

 16, as follows; "The Mo. S. F. and G. P. Ass'n will hold its nineteenth 

 annual convention and tournament on May 13-16, lt-96, under the aus- 

 pices of the Federation of Gun Clubs of Kansas City. Mo. It is the 

 purpose of the officers of the Association, with the assistance of the 

 Federation of Gun Clubs of Kansas City and all gun clubs of the State, 

 to make it the greatest event ever, held in the West. The features of 

 this tournament will be tbe individual championship of the State; the 

 club team shoot; the interstate championship, which takes in the 

 States of Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma and In- 

 dian Territories. The star event of this tournament will be the cham- 

 pionship of the United States. A purse sufficiently large will be hung 

 up to bring together all the crackajacks of the country and to settle 

 the much-mooted question of who is the champion wing shot of Amer- 

 ica. The nest event of more than ordinary importance will be the 

 interstate championship, for which an attractive purse will be added/' 

 fWe would call Mr. Walden's attention to the fact that both the 

 Memphis, Tenn., Gun Club and the Ohio Trap-Shooters' League have 

 claimed the dates above mentioned.) 



The programme of the San Antonio (Tex.) Gun Club's tournament, 

 which commences to-morrow (Oct. 27), and continues until Oct. 30, 

 has been given in a previous issue of Forest and Stream. The copy 

 just at hand states that there will be three sets of traps in use and 

 that shooting will commence at 8:30 each morning. Targets will be 

 charged for at the rate of 3 cents each; live birds at 25 cents each, 

 AH target events at unknown angles. The programme is a good one, 

 and the added money ($1,000) is divided up in a manner that is calcu- 

 lated to make the boys shoot. On October 29 a 25-target event, $5 

 entrance, has $100 added to the purse, while on the following day a 

 20-live-bird event, $15 entrance, will have $200 added money to the 

 purse that will be divided among the fortunate ones. 



Ferd. Van Dyke has been doing some shooting recently that is 

 worth noting. During the second day's shoot (Oct. 10) at Heading, 

 Pa., be dropped 9 targets out of 200 shot at, an average of 95.5. At 

 the tournament of the Worcester, Mass., Sportsmen's Club, held on 

 Oct. 15-16, some very high averages were made. On the first day Van 

 Dyke was first with 156 out of 160, an average of 97.5 per cent.; Ful- 

 ford was second with 155 out of 160, 96.8; Dickey was third with a per- 

 centage of 95.6, scoring 153 out of 160. On the second day Dickey 

 took first with a precisely similar record to that made by Van Dyke 

 the previous day, 97.5. Van Dyke on the other band made the same 

 average that Dickey did on the first day, 95.6. Thus these two tied 

 for general average with the excellent totals of 309 broken out of 320 

 shot at, an average of 96.5. 



Mr. C. W. Tuttle, of Auburn, N. Y,, chairman of the sporting com- 

 mittee of the Auburn Gun Club, writes us under date of Oct. 15 as fol- 

 lows: "The Auburn, N. Y., Gun Club will hold a two day's tourna- 

 ment at targets on Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 29 and 30. The pro- 

 gramme will consist of ten events, 20 targets each, with alternate en- 

 trance fees of $2 and $3, targets included; the whole makes a total of 

 200 targets per day, with a total entrance fee of $25 for each day's 

 regular events. Nitro powder loaded shells and lunch on the ground." 

 As the Auburn Gun Club's roster contains the names of several 

 shooters who are in evidence at all the shoots that take place any- 

 where in the vicinity of that city, the club should be supported well by 

 the kindred organizations in its neighborhood. 



Louis T. Duryea will be absent during the month of November from 

 all the shooting grounds around New York city. Those forests of 

 Michigan which are controlled by the Turtle Lake Club will be his 

 hunting grounds for the next thirty days. Speaking of ruffed grouse 

 and of the numbers of them that are to be found in those forests, 

 Duryea declares that it is no trick to kill more in one hour than he 

 can carry comfortably. "The ruffed grouse are thicker there this 

 year than I have ever seen quail in North Carolina," said he the other 

 day. 



The Kewanee (111.) Gun Club will hold a three days' tournament 

 Nov. 5-7, both live birds and inanimates being used. The programme 

 has not been issued as yet, but Mr. Huckins, the secretary, writes that 

 two sets of traps will be used, added money and merchandise prizes, 

 and premiums for high averages. The purses will be divided as follows: 

 10-bird events, three moneys; 35-bird events, four moneys; 20-bird 

 events, three high guns take 50 per cent., divided 50, 30 and 20 per 

 cent., the next three guns taking the balance in the same proportion. 

 Mr. Huckins adds: "We are doing all that a club can do to make a 

 successful shoot, and as we have always had a large attendance at 

 our shoots, we expect this to be a record breaker." This shoot is open 

 to all. 



The Harvard-Yale-Princeton annual shoot will not take place this 

 year. According to our Information, the Yale athletic committee will 

 not allow their men to shoot on account of the strained relations be- 

 tween the two colleges. The Harvard Gun Club has, however, sent a 

 challenge to the Princeton Gun Club, naming Nov. 2, the morning of 

 the Harvard-Princeton football match, as the date for the shoot. If 

 this challenge is accepted the shoot will take the place of the annual 

 contest. 



The Greensburg, Ind., Gun Club held its first annual tournament 

 Oct. 23 and 24. The chief prize was a diamond badge open only to 

 shooters from Bartholomew, Decatur, Franklin, Fayette, Jennings, 

 Johnson, Jackson, Rush. Ripley and Shelby counties of Indiana, at 50 

 single targets, entrance $5 and the winner to file a $200 bond to guar- 

 antee the security of the trophy. 



With entries in four events numbering 94, 103, 103 and 104 re" 

 spectively, and with a fifth event, a team race with an entry list of 

 ten! earns of six men each, the California Inanimate Target Associa- 

 tion has started out on its career in splendid shape. The events shot 

 off at its initial tournament are given elsewhere. 



The monthly club shoot of the Newark Gun Club for the month of 

 October was shot on Erb's grounds on Oct. 10. The shoot is at 10 live 

 birds per nnu. There were seven entries, the men finishing in the 

 following order: P. Jay 10, Erb and Johns 7, Geoffrey and HolJis 6, 

 Thomas and Smith 5. 



The Central Gun Club, of Long Branch, N. J., held its first fall shoot 

 at its grounds at Branchport on Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 16. The 

 club shoot was at 10 live birds per man, and Postmaster Japhia 

 Van Dyke tied with Charlie Zwirlein for first place by killing 9 out of 

 his 10. 



A good many people failed to recognize the portrait we gave last 

 week of H. P. Collins, of the DuPont Powder Company, on account of 

 the absence of a hirsute appendage. Mr. Collins has decided that the 

 Baltimorean breezes shall no longer dally with his whiskers. 



The San Antonio, Tex., Gun Club's tournament that commences 

 Oct. 27 and lasts four days will have a good number of entries 

 from among the ranks of those who have been attending the tourna- 

 ment of the^Clarke Hardware Company this week. 



During the past few days the ducks that are at present sojourning 

 in the vicinity of Mouille Point and the Huron River have been taking 

 it easy. Jaca: Parker has been busily engaged running the shoot at 

 Atlanta. 



The recent club shoot of the Union Gun Club, of Springfield, N. J., 

 held on Oct, 9, resulted as follows: Class A— E. D. Miller 27, a homas 

 23 and Jackson 22. Class B— E. SicHley 27. Williams 19. 



One of the chief features for next week's programme will be the five- 

 men team race at 20 live birds per man, to be shot at Dexter Park on 

 Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 29, 30.

The DuPont Tournament. 



Baltimore, ' Md., Oct. 22.— Special to Forest and Stream: The 

 DuPont tournament opened to-day at 10 A M. in brilliant weather. 

 Attendance of shooters not large as yet, but many not present are 

 known to be on their way. Among those on the grounds are A. H. 

 King and Jim Denny, of Pittsburg, Pa. ; W. G. Clark, Altoona, Pa.; E. 

 Brown, Burton, Tex. : John L. Brewer, New York; C. C. Burkbart,

The local shooters are showing tip well as far as numbers are con- 

 cerned. The Habdicap Committee has decided not to announce tbe 

 handicap in the DuPont Handicap until to-morrow night. The mem- 

 bers of tbe committee present, are: Jacob Pentz, A. L. Shepard, Dr. 

 Fort, H. P, Collins and Edward Banks. Acting on the decision not to 

 announce the handicap until to-morrow night the events on the 

 programme marked as handicaps have been changed, each man 

 shooting from the same mark in those events. 



The DuPont Handicap is now the only handicap event of the shoot. 

 This event will probably have In the neighborhood of fifty entries. 

 The grounds and all arrangements are capital. H. A. Penrose is 

 managing the shoot, and has a good lot of birds. Edward Banks. 



The protest was disallowed at a meeting of the tournament committee 

 held the same night. 



The best shooting of the day was done by J. W. Shiell, of Traver, 

 one of the San Joaquin Valley Gun Club's team. He broke 50 straight, 

 and during the day broke 78 out of 85 shot at. 



California's Inanimate Target Shooters. 



The initial tournament of the California Inanimate Target Associa- 

 tion proved to be an entire success, and the Association is deserving 

 of great credit for the manner in which it ran cff the different events 

 on the programme when it bad so large an entry list to contend with. 

 The shoot commenced on Oct. 6, and so great was the number of 

 shooters that it was impossible to finish the fifth event before night 

 put an end to the first day's sport. So far as we can learn only two 

 sets of traps were used, which fact would fully explain the small num- 

 ber of events completed. 



Event No. 1 was a 10-target affair, everything known, with ninety- 

 four entries. As the following score shows there eight straights and 

 sixteen 9s: 



Shiell 10, Wetmore 10, Bolander 10, Barker 10, Webb 10, Coffin 10,

 Dust diamond medal and nine other prizes. This event had the same 

 number of entries as No. 2, 103. Of all that number only one. Shiell,

 trophy with a score of 95 each. The tie was shot off at a similar num- 

 ber of targets, the Stockton team winning with a score of 94 to 93. The

Two protests were made to the tournament committee during the 

 day, both being lodged in regard to the team race. The first was made 

 by the Stockton Club when Street was substituted for Nauman on the 

 Olympic team, Nauman haviDg been overcome at the score and led 

 away in a fainting condition. The protest was afterward withdrawn 

 before it had come up for consideration by the committee. The 

 second was the protest of the Garden City Cyclers' Gun Club against 

 the award of second prize to the Olympic Club, on the ground that the 

 team race was classjshooting, like the other events on the programme. 



Herron Hill Gun Club. 



Thirteen shooters took part in a recent live-bird shoot promoted by 

 the Herron Hill Gun Club, of Pittsburg, Pa. The weather was cold
