This being a badge for amateurs, Stanton as an expert could 

 not take that, although he won first money with the only straight 

 score. Swift with 14 won the badge and second money, third div. 

 and fourth won by Law. The last named gentleman is an in- 

 statfpe of the difficulties a man can overcome by perseverance. 

 His right arm was injured some years ago aud he shoots from 

 the left shoulder, sighting with the right eye, as sight has gone 

 from the left. This necessitates a wonderfully crooked stock, 

 but the work accomplished is very effective.

Although the main events were finished soon after 4 o'clock, a 

 number of the shooters could not tear themselves away, and re- 

 mained until 6, shooting little sweeps of various kinds. The 

 unanimous opinion of all the visitors was that the Jamaica Plain 

 boys had run a very pleasant and successful State tournament.

CLASSIFICATION. 



Swift .....011111-5 6 Shaw ..111010-4 3 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



In your issue of May 23, your correspondent in giving an ac- 

 count of the Iowa State shoot says, "The first thing to notice is 

 the rapid tapering off in the number of shooters from first to 

 last. It very soon became evident that a few men were safe to 

 win the bulk of the money, and the weaker shooters gradually 

 fell out. It is noticeably true here to-day, and never more so, 

 that some system must be devised to equalize the expert with the 

 amateur, if trap shoots are to be made a success." This fact has 

 long been Known, but so far no plan has been presented that 

 seems to remedy the difficulty. I have carefuily considered all 

 communications that have appeared upon this subject, but none 

 seems to be exactly the thing. 



It is impossible to classify shooters, so all will stand upou an 

 equal basis, as in any class there will be some vastly superior to 

 some others. The man whose average is 70 per cent, stands a 

 poor chance against another whose average is 85 per cent., and 

 the 60 per cent, mau stands in nearly the same relation to the 70 

 per cent. one. Again it is impossible to put every man exactly 

 where he belongs, and some 75 or 80 per cent, man will manage to 

 crawl into the 60 class. The system of classification after shoot- 

 ing, as for instance in a 9 bird match, entrance monev divided 

 into two equal parts, 50 per cent, to the 9s, 30 to 8s, 20 to 7s, 50 per 

 cent, to 6a, 30 to os, 20 to 4s, thus giving the 6s two and one-half 

 times as much as the 7s, cannot be satisfactory. 



The plan I am about to propose I have never'seen suggested, but 

 it seems to me worthy of a trial. Have only one class, or in very 

 large tournaments perhaps two, and the entrance money divided 

 into four equal prizes. For instance, 50 entries at $1 each, the 

 prizes would be $12.50 each. In a 10-bird match the 10s would tie 

 for one money, 9s, 8s and 7s the other thr<-e. Then every man 

 tying for a prize should be allowed to draw his proportional share 

 of the prize tor which he is tied, and those not wishing to do so 

 can shoot off among themselves. This I consider fair for all. and 

 the poorer shooters will stand some chance of getting part of 

 their money back at least. This will still give the good shots some 

 advantage, as the higher in the match they get the smaller num- 

 ber they would propably have in the tie. I recall an instance 

 w-6 ere a gentleman attended the World's tournament at Boston 

 in 1887, intending to stay the five days. He entered nearly every 

 match in the amateur class, largely composed of experts, during 

 the first two days, and, though breaking 7, 8 or 9 in nearly every 

 10-bird match, was shot out on every tie, and did not win a cent. 

 The result was, he became discouraged and returned home; 

 whereas if he had been allowed to withdraw part of his money he 

 would have remained during the rest of the tournament. * No 

 matter bow enthusiastic a man may be, many cannot afford to 

 always lose. When the Massachusetts State Association was 

 formed, the attendance at their annual tournaments was from 75 

 to 100, but now, with more clubs and shooters, 30 or 40 is about the 

 average attendance. I should like to see the management of 

 some tournament try this plan, until something better is pro- 

 posed, and see what the result would be. 



A careful analysis of the manner in which the prizes were 

 divided in the N. Y. State Association tournament more fully im- 

 presses me with the need of some change than ever before. In 

 this case, instead of encouraging amateurs, I consider all the 

 encouragement was given to the experts. In match No. 1 there 

 were 73 entries, 9 in the 90 class. 23 in the 80 class and 40 in the 70 

 class. The 9 men in the 90 class, whose entry fees amounted to 

 $36, received nearly the same amount in prizes as the 40 men in 

 the 70 class, whose entries amounted to $160. The man who broke 



8 birds m the 90 class received six times the amount of money the 

 man who broke the same number in the 80 class, and double the 

 amount of the man who had to break 12 straight in a tie in the 70 

 class. In this case every man in the 90 class won a prize without 

 Shooting a tin. In match No. 2 the number of entries had 

 dropped to 56 (the 70 class losing 10), the same 9 in the 90 class, 

 every man also won without shooting a tie, while onlvlOmen won 

 in the 70 class after shooting splendidly in ties. In*match No. 3 

 there were 11 in the 90 class, and every man won without shoot- 

 ing a tie. In match No. 4, 12 entries in the 90 class, every man 

 wou again without shooting a tie, while in the 70 class every man 

 who won had to be an expert at tie shooting. The 5th match 

 was nearly a repetition of the rest, showing conclusively that 

 for a man who could shoot any the 90 class was the place to win, 

 audi am surprised that some of the 70 class did not request to 

 be placed m the 90 class. I cannot see any justice in this man- 

 ner of division of prizes, and though hardly a 70 class shooter 

 "i - It, would much prefer taking my chances against 10 men in 

 the 00 class than four times that number in the 70 class. If this 

 plan continues, I can foresee a dropping off in the entries of the 

 next tournament. Trap Shooter.

COLUMBIA, Pa.— Wrightsville, Pa.- On Friday afternoon, the 

 11th inst., several ot the members of the Columbia Gun ( Hub faced 

 the traps to try their skill and endurance in a shoot at 100 

 standards from three traps. Some of the shooting was verv good 

 but with exception of Mr. Krueger it was again proven that 

 amateurs accustomed to shoot races cannot "hold out" in a long 

 one. Mr. Krueger's score is a good one and he did not trv his 

 hardest to make a big score. At all times he Bhoots the same 

 quick, automatic style, and pulverizes his birds with remarkable 

 regularity. The following are the scores:

BLOOMING GROVE PARK.— The annual spring tournament 

 of the Blooming Grove Park Association was held at the club 

 bouse in Pike county, Pennsylvania, on the 30th and 31st, of May. 

 Owiug to the fact that the 30th came on Thursday the attendance 

 3 not large, but the enthusiasm of the contestants fully compen- 

 ed for the lack of numbers. The club has lately improved the 

 joting grounds, and with the present arrangement of under- 

 ground cords it is impossible for the shooter to know which trap 

 is to be sp.-ung until it is actually thrown open. Five traps are 

 used for live bird contests, and the arrangement of traps and 

 facilities for springing them leave little to be desired. For claj- 

 birds3traps were used; they were placed near tach other, arid 

 with the trapper were completely hiddenfrom view of the shooter 

 by a shotproof screen. In clay-bird contests the use of the sec- 

 ond barrel, if successful, counts one-half. Club rules governed 

 all contests. In the rifle contests— shooting off-hand at 200yds., 

 only hunting sights allowed— the scores made were not very good, 

 owing to the fact that the rain came down in torrents and the 

 wind blew in great gusts all the time, the best scores being 49 and 

 46, 10 shots decimal targets. There were handsome gold and sil- 

 ver medals for first and second prizes in each of the four contests. 

 Contest at 25 live birds: 



R B Lawrence (30) 2211212111111112112112121-25
