DAYTON, o., Aug. 7.— At the regular Kennel Club shoot to-day 

 Adolph Sander won the trophy with a score of 26 out of 30 blue- 

 rocks, Ed Cooper and Charles W beaten 24 each, Gus Sander and 

 Charles Stoddard 21 each, Charles Sander 23, Charles Hanich and 

 Thomas Hannah, 20 each. 



Every week we are obliged to defer to the next 

 week trap scores which come In too late for pub- 

 lication in the current Issue. It is particularly re- 

 quested that scores be sent us as early as possible. 



AMERICAN SHOOTING ASSOCIATION. 



T>OSTON, Aug. 13.— The second annual tournament of the 

 -L» American shooting Association is now in progress. The 

 shooting grounds are located at Beacon Park, a time-honored 

 trotting track, but a few miles out from Boston in the town of 

 Allston. 



These grounds are admirably adapted for conducting a large 

 tournament, and the arrangements made by the Association are 

 yery complete. In anticipation of an extra large attendance 

 Major Taylor had devoted considerable time to devising a ground 

 plan which would allow of the constant operation of many sets 

 of traps without occupying too much space. As a result of his 

 work six sots of five traps each are in a half circle, and at these 

 traps the shooting is almost ceaseless at Peoria blackbirds. Key- 

 stone targets, bluerocks. standards, Ligowsky, kingbirds and Al. 

 Bandle clay birds. By. this plan all shooters 'are kept in a more 

 c °n hned space and are within easy call when wanted from one 

 set of traps to another. Under this arrangement no delays oc- 

 curred, and the 11 events of the day were gotten through in short 

 order. 



One of the most interesting contests was the team race of teams 

 of two men belonging both to the same club. Ed Collins and E. 

 Pumphrey, of the Ferdinand Gun Club, made 39 out of 40, but the 

 management decided that they were not members of a regularly 

 organized gun club, and so awarded first prize to the team 

 making the next highest score. This caused some kicking on the 

 part of Messrs. Collins and Puniphrey, but the management was 

 firm and insisted on the ruling and returned the entrance fee: 

 About 150 shooters were present, representing all the Eastern 

 States and many Western States as well. A larger number is 

 expected to-morrow, when the event of the week, the team race 

 between the East and . the West-, is to be shot. Stice, Budd and 

 Bandle, who were confidently expected to be here, are not pres- 

 ent. The scores of the whole tournament will be given in full 

 next week. f. Mason.

CHICAGO, HI., Aug. 8.— A novel form of trap-shooting enter-
