THE PITTSBURGH TOURNAMENT. 



"PITTSBURGH, Mav 7.— The tournament, under the auspices of 

 X E. E. Shaner and F. F. Davison, which ooened to-day, prom- 

 ises to be a big suc e-s, and the two enthusiasts deserve great 

 praise for their endeavors iu behalf of fellow sportsmen. The 

 weather was splendid, and just the kind any shooter could wish. 

 There was no wind, and the sun's rays were toned down to com- 

 fort. The opening day of the grand shooting tournament found 

 a goodly crowd on Brunot's Island, and the roar of the double- 

 barrels'was mlcgled with many a cheer. Everybody was feeling 

 in first-class shape and consequently the affair was one of ihe 

 happiest «-ver witnessed here. Ten matches were shot, including 

 a pr ci ice shoot and two extra sweepstakes. E. E. Shaner was in 

 great form and made excellent runs. P. Kelsev won the most 

 money in the affair, his winnings amounting to almost $100. Two 

 thousand five hundred hirds were thrown. The best shoot was 

 for the guarantee purse, at 21 Keystones. AJ. Bandle and Rol'a 

 Heikcs did not show up; neither did Penrose, the well-known 

 wing shot. The winners o f ' the different matc.be i are given below.

May 8 — Ti e two-day tournament at. Brunot Island was brought 

 to a close to-day. Taking it all through it was the most success- 

 ful shoot ever held in this cit v. Messrs. Shaner and Davison 

 certamlv deserve the palm for being good hustlers and mauagei s. 

 Over 9 000 bluencks and Keystones were used. All of these were 

 thrown from two *ets of traps. This is exceedingly good woik. 

 Especially so in this case, as one set contained but tnree traps. 

 Tne management will realize at least $200 from their venture 

 outside ot their personal winnings from the sweepstakes It was 

 an off day for the crack shots. The, young h ocds hart then 

 shooting clothes on and took all the plums. Paul North, of 

 Cleveland; Seih Clovti, of Erie, and C. E. Verges, of Lowell, O., 

 all old-time wing shots, had to take down their colors before 

 Shaner, Richardson, Hanlon, McOlure and others. P. Kelsey, 

 who had such good luck Tuescay, was out of pocket when halanc- 

 ing-up time cam" . Gnarles Richardson was shooting in excellent 

 form. If there is any luck in a raobit's foot he had It. Every 



time he went to the soore he would get, the "Colonel" to ruh his 

 rabbit's foot across his back, and he got there oven tune Elmer 

 Shaner and Capt. McClure were about the heaviest winners, 

 Davison being a close second. The weather was excessively warm 

 and had a bad effe-t on the sportsmen. Those, who made poor 

 scores had a good exeuse to offer in this. Paul North went to 

 Cleveland after the toumameut. He and Shaner are making 

 arrangements for the 20-man team race between Cleveland and 

 1 ittsbnrgh clubs. It will likely take place some li me next month. 

 B. Mi eh els had a narrow escape from being injured, ne had a 

 loaded shell in his pintaloous pocket. Not thinking of it, he 

 dropped a silver dollar in the same pocket. The dollar struck 

 the pnmcr and the shell exploded. Michels was burnt a little 

 aoout the leg and on the wrist iu taking the shell out. Tbe affair 

 caused considerable excitement, manv thinking that he was 

 seriously hurt. 



After the rrtrnlar matches had been finished several small 

 sweepstalos were shot, tbe last gun being fired at 6 P. M. The 

 scores were as follows:

THE M'CLURE— GLASS SHOOT. 



PITTSBURGH, Pa,., May 6.-Edit r Forest and Strewn: To attend 

 the Shaner and Davison two days' tournament on the7^h and 

 8th mst., and witness the live-bird shoot between Capi.Q. A. 

 MeOlnre of McKeesport, Pa., a member of the Herron Hill Gun 

 Clun, of Pittsburgh, and Chas. Glasr-., of New Castle, Pa., I man- 

 aged to reach Pittsburgh this morning in time to join M CTure and 

 his partv when boarding the train for New Castle. Messrs. E. E. 

 and S. Shaner, J. O'H. Denny, Chas. Richar son, W. J. McCrick- 

 art and the undersigned were among those who accompanied Ihe 

 Captain. T e mateh was $100 a side. Bogardus rules, 25 birds 

 each. Each sioe furnished half of the birds, which were a splen- 

 did lot, especially those furnished bv the Captain, among which 

 there were a number of corking good birds. 



The match < ommenced about 1:30 P. M. in an open field outside 

 of New Castle, and well adapted for the purpose. Mr. Mc^arland 

 was appointed stakeholder, W. J. McCrickart judge for MeCluie 

 and Welsh for Glass, and Mr. Wm. Alexander acted as referee; 

 and very satisfactorily .to both parties did these gentlemen per- 

 form t heir duties. 



Tbe two contestants and their styles of shooting are entirely 

 diff. rent, McClure is quiet and dignified at all times and a most 

 cool and deliberate shot, and in his ol..ck attire and sedate man- 

 ner is oftentimes inistak' u for a preacher. Glass, on the con- 

 trary, is quick, norvcus in his a tions a u d way of shooting. 

 Although thete were a number of magnificent shots nv.de by 

 hot h, ,\ ot the scores of both men are below the r general average, 

 and were rather a disappoint uient to their friends, The quality 

 of the birds had a good deal to do with this. The condition of 

 tbe weather was all that could be desired. 



M- Clure was the most, unfortunaie, for with the exception of 

 the 18th and 25tn bircK which were clean miss- s, he hit every bird; 

 but the 2d h'rd, a right-qnarteier out of trap §, the 7tn bird, a 

 driver out of trap 3, ihe 16i,h, a towering bird out of trap 5, and 

 the 21st bird, a taller out ot trap 5, failel to stop in bounds; the 

 13th bird, a hard dr'ver out of trap 4, fell dead 8vds. out 

 ?i, bj , unQt; ,m3 3<i Dir( La right-quarterer out of trap 6, and the 

 22d, also a right-quarterer out. of trap 3, were bah hard hit, but 

 went, at least 50 > ds. from traps before falling dead; the 1st l ird, a 

 lef -quartorer from tcr - ' 



trap 5. and the fc4th, a left-quanerer from trap 2: Only fair kills 

 were mar'e on Lhe 6th, an incomer from trap 1, and the 14th, a 

 driv< r irom trap 1. Difficult and magn'Qcenl shots were made 



also missing hisl4th,adriverfrcm >rap 1; .he 5th, 8th. 13th, 2 J., ai d 

 2it.h, all drivers from traps 2,5, 4. Saud 4 respective] v, were bit 

 hird, but failed to stop in b«uno-: the 6tn, 7th, 23d and 24 f h. all 

 iucomers from traps 3, 1, 4 and 1 respectively, and the llth, a 

 right-quarterer from trap 4. were easy, quick find clean idlls; the 

 16th, au incomer from trap 1. was merely knocked down, nothing 

 more; on the 9th, 10th. 15th. 17tli,;i9.h and 20tu, all rattling driv< is 

 from traps 3, 5, 4, 2. 1 and 3 respectively, such magnificent shots 

 were made as to put Mr. Glass among the best of them; the 18th, 

 an incomer from trap 1, and the 21st, a hard driver from the same 

 trap, were also cut down in elegant style. 



McClure shot a 10-gauge hammerh ss, full choke, with 5drs. of 

 Dupont's diamond grain No. 4, and lJ4oz. Tatbam's No. 8 chilled 

 shoU Glass shot a 10-gauge Paiker ban. mer gun, with l^drs. of 

 Austin's powder and l>4oz. of Bailey, Farrel' & Co.'s chilled shot 

 No. 8. No disputes of any kind arose, and though Mr. Glass took i 

 his defeat good-natuiedlv, he is not, satisfied with tbe result of 

 this match, and another will very likely be arranged in the near 

 future between these same gen th men. The following are the 

 scores:

UNION GUN CLUB. 



SPRINGFIELD, N. J., May 6.-The Union Gun Club held its 

 fifth monthly prize shoot, this afternoon, and the bright, 

 pleasant weather brought out many of the boys who have not 

 soot before for some time, Some of the craeks were unavoidably : 

 absent, but those present bad just as mu h fun aud did some re- : 

 markahly u'ood shooting, all things considered. The targets used ' 

 were Keystones, thrown from 3 Keystone traps. These t.r>ips are i 

 dandies and will throw a bird over 80yds. and li ke chain lightning; i 

 this was the kind thrown to-day. Several swi eps at blueroeks ' 

 were, shot before and after the main events, but the scoies have 3 

 been mislaid. Fed lowing are the scores of the two main events 1

MINNEAPOLIS GUN CLUB. 



MINNEAPOLIS, May 10,-Y-sterday, for once this year, the 

 Minneapolis Gun Club had a good day to shoot— when it 

 didn't ram— and the result can be seen in t he stiaight scores, 20 

 straight and 19 out of a possible 20. 10 singles and 5 pairs Peorias, 

 are very scarce here, and I judge are elsewhere by the scores sent 

 to Forest and Stream. The. day was still, warm aud cloudy, 

 and the smoke hung heavy in front. Those who had wood powder 

 for t heir double ^hooting had a decided advantage, as the second 

 bird was wholly obscured by smoke. 



Among the visitors present, were Fish, Bennett, Chan tier, Pfis- 

 ter, Ponsonby and Skinner, St. Paul, and I. Clagget, Monte vedio, 

 Minn., representing tbe new Macomber metal target, which has 

 been greatly improved by himself and is now as perfect as any of 

 the bieakable targets, both as to flight and indicating qualities. 



Next Thursday is the regular monthly one-day tournament and 

 a large crowd and good time can surely be 1< oked for, and m t wo 

 weeks, tne 21st, our great tournament with 25 average prizes of 

 $1,100 guaranteed money takes place. 



It is universally acknowledged that Minneapolis gives the best 

 tournaments aud has the largest attendance of any point in the 

 Northwest, not. excepimg Chicago. Following is the score: 



First event, 7 single Peorias, 5 screened traps, 18yds. rise, 50
