The Seattle Tournament. 



Seattle, Wash., Nov. 1.— The annual tournament of the Washing- 

 ton State Sportsmen's Association for the Protection of Fish and Game 

 was brought to a successful close in the afternoon of Oct. 27. The 

 shoot took place in the Madison street ball park and lasted four days, 

 from Oct. 2-1-27. Targets were used on the first two days, live birds 

 during the last two. 



Some idea of the success of the meeting may be gathered from the 

 fact that no less than sixty-one Bhooters took part in the target 

 eventB, while in all the live-bird events the entry lists were very satis- 

 factory. 



During the meeting three interesting special events were shot off: 

 the individual championship of the State at targets, the three-men 

 team championship of the State at targets, and the individual cham- 

 pionship of the State at live birds. 



The team race was shot off on the first day. The weather proved 

 dull and unpropitious during the early part of the day, but while this 

 event was in progress the sun came out and made things as bright 

 again as they were. The conditions of the team race were: three men 

 to a team, all to be members of the same club, 30 targets per man, un- 

 known angles. The result was a victory for Seattle team No. 1, with 

 a score of 75; Tacoma teams No. 1 and No. 2 were tied for second 

 place with 69 each. Seattle No. 2 was third with 68. The scores in 

 this race were as follows:

The best work during the day is credited to W. F. Sheard, of Ta- 

 coma, formerly of Montana. Out of 110 consecutive targets he broke 

 104, there being a question also as to whether another target was not 

 actually broken. He won first average in events outside the team 

 race with 88 per cent. C. Miner, of Seattle, took second average with 

 87 per cent. E. B. Lanning, of Tucoma, is a new man at the traps, con- 

 sequently his work must be classed as very good, his 24 out of 25 in 

 the last event of the day surprising his opponets. Goodrich, of Seat- 

 tle, also a new man in trap-shooting circles, did good work. An in- 

 teresting incident of the day's proceedings was furnished by a wild 

 swan which flew lazily over the shooters at the score, just high enough 

 above them to be out of gunshot. 



The second day was dark and raw. making the light extremely poor 

 for target shooting. The individual championship of the Stace at 

 targets was shot off to-day, some good scores, considering the weather 

 conditions, being made by the contestants for the medal. Tom Ware 

 won the medal by rolling up the capital score of 45 out of his 50 tar- 

 gets. He had not much to spare, however, as E. P. Miner was right 

 after him with a score of 44, while close behind Miner came Sheard 

 with 43, and Ellis and Hardy with 42 each. The scores made in the 

 other programme events are given in the table given below, the de- 

 tailed score of the championship match being as follows:

LIVE-BIRD SCORES. 



The scores made at live birds during the last two days of the shoot 

 are given below. The championship event was unfinished on the 

 third day, being carried over and completed on the last day of this 

 most successful tournament. 



PROCEEDINGS AT THE ANNUAL MEETING. 



During the evening of the second day the annual meeting of the 

 Association took place, the following being an account of the pro- 

 ceedings clipped from the Seattle Post- Intelligencer of the following 

 morning: 



"The Association met in the evening at the Butler Hotel and elected 

 the following officers: President, Josiah Collins; Vice-President, E. 

 E. Ellis, of Tacoma; Treasurer, George J. Willey; Board of Directors, 

 W. F. Sheard, W. A. Hardy, A. L. Johnson, Joe Schlumpf, C. F. Treat, 

 T. B. Ware, Dell Cooper. Capt. E. P. Miner, W. A. Eberly, F. H. Mason, 

 E. B Lanning and Mr. Doty. 



"Resolutions were adopted thanking the Seattle Rod and Gun Club 

 for the fine programme, it being voted one of the finest shoots ever 

 held on the Pacific coast. A resolution was adopted thanking the 

 Post-Intelligencer for its generosity in donating the beautiful State 

 championship medal and also for the press reports. Portus Baxter 

 was tendered the special thanks of the meeting for his accurate re- 

 port of the tournament. After the meeting the board of directors 

 met and decided to hold the next tournament at Tacoma, under the 

 auspices of the Tacoma Rifle, Rod and Gun Club, some time next Octo- 

 ber. Portus Baxter was unanimously elected secretary of the Associ- 

 ation. " 



THE LIVE-BIRD SCORES, 



As stated above, the third and fourth days of the shoot were de" 

 voted to live-bird events. Three target sweeps were shot off on the 

 fourth day, the scores made in those events being incorporated in the 

 table given above. 



The results and scores in detail of the minor live-bird events shot on 

 the third and fourth days of the tournament are easily gathered 

 from the scores run below; while in the majority of instances the flight 

 of the bird tells how luck favored some and bore hard on others. Of 

 course the interest on these two days centered In the contest for the 

 State championship, the conditions of which were: 20 live birds per 

 man, $20 entrance, $100 added, the winner taking a silver cup pre- 

 sented by Albert Hansen. 



This contest was in an interesting condition when darkness put an 

 end to ahooting on the evening of the third day. All those who had 

 scored at least three misses had withdrawn with a privilege of re-entry 

 in the event of their being able to win any of the money. This left 

 only eight men apparently in the event when shooting opened on the 

 morning of the fourth day with the commencement of the 14th round: 

 Purdy had 13 straight; Eberly, Cooper and Churchill 12 each; Ware, 

 Stevens, Young and Doty 11 each. Doty shot a 10-gauge, with brass 

 shells loaded with 5drs. of black powder. 



As the score shows, things became decidedly Interesting after Purdy 

 lost his 15th bird dead out of bounds. This left him a tie with Cooper 

 and Eberly, and as these three killed straight to the finish, they shot 

 off for the cup, agreeing to divide first money. It took three series of 

 5 birds each to decide who should have the cup, the honor of holding 

 it and of wearing the title of champion ultimately resting with Dr. 

 Percival A. Purdy, of Seattle. Dr. Purdy's loss of his 15th bird let in 

 one or two others, who thus had a chance for fourth money, making 

 the contest of still greater interest. 



On the whole the management was not favored with the best of 

 weather, the last day being particularly cold and chilly, while the sky 

 was overcast with a mass of dull gray clouds. That the tournament 

 was a success under these conditions cannot but be satisfactory to the 

 State Association, which is now in a most flourishing condition. 



Scores in the live-bird events were: ^~ 



Third Day. 



In addition to the contest for the championship of the State at live 

 birds, which was commenced to-day, the following live-bird events 

 were shot off, No. 1 being at 12 birds, $10, 3 moneys, and No. 2 a miss- 

 and-out, $1 entrance. Scores:

Individual Championship at Cypress Hills. 



Brooklyn, N. Y., Nov. 5.— The third annual championship contest 

 which took place at Cypress Hills Park to-day was favored with extra 

 fine weather for the time of year. Everything pointed to good scores 

 being made, and the promise was fulfilled before the end of the day 

 by F. C. Ross piling up a total 2,222 for his 100 shots on the ring tar- 

 get, and by G. W. Plaisted's score of 233 for the championship medal. 



The number of entries was most encouraging to the promoters of 

 these annual gatherings, 32 experts with the rifle putting down their 

 names as contestants in the day's main event. This is a larger number 

 than in either of the two previous contests; in 1892 there were 28 con- 

 testants, while in 1894 24 shooters took part in the event. In '93 Ross 

 made the highest total for 100 shots— 2,194, following up his success 

 with another victory in '94 with the total of 2,142, the weather on that 

 occasion being decidedly unpropitious for high scores. The champion- 

 ship medal for 1893 fell to Louis Flach (after a tie with Charles Hutch), 

 both scoring 230; on the shoot off Flach beat his opponent. In 1894 

 Ross carried off the medal by scoring 231. In to-day's contest he 

 equaled his last year's score of 231, but was beaten two points by 

 Plaisted's great total of 233. 



The four highest scores for 100 shots were: F. C. Ross 2222 H M 

 Pope 2,192, M. Dorrler 2,183, G. W. Plaisted 2,170. For the championship 

 medal Plaisted as stated above was first with 283, Ross being second 

 with 231.
