THE DETROIT TOURNAMENT. 



"pvETROIT, March 23— Thou ah very late in making up the re- 

 U port-, we send you story of our shoot, which took place here 

 on March 11. 12 and 13. It was our third tournament and was 

 completed, and In sp-te of the fact that thr>e more unpleasant 

 days could rot have been selected; vet the attendance, we think, 

 was the largest on record and would have been greater, but for 

 thefaci that no one could have been Hamedlor staying indoors 

 and so evadine the wetting, which many did. 



Much of the success is due to Mr. H. A. Penrose, of Corrv, Pa., 

 who save ns all his time and workpd like a Trojan. iustruetiusr all 

 bands as to working of the Keystone rapid firing system, which 

 under bis management was a perfect success. Let ua fell the 

 record of three lively days: 



March 11.— The day opened wet and raiDy. and a more discour- 

 aged set of men than the management could not he found. Mr. 

 Penrose had notbine to say, for once. A meeting was bold to de- 

 cide "for or against" a postponement and it was finally decided 

 (as we had seen a few duck hunters around who looked as if they 

 would shoot) to go ah°ad. So headquarters were telephoned to 

 and word passed around that the tournament would be carried 

 through, the 8750 guaranteed purses and all, even if only one 

 shooter appeared. After a half hour's ride on the horse car the 

 grounds were reached, and between the drops a score hook was 

 opened and the tournament began. Name af tor name was en- 

 tered, and when the scorer had recovered bis equilibrium a total 

 of 55 contestants were on hand and entered for the first race. 

 What do you think of that? Look at the score and Fee how they 

 stood to it all dav. and in spite of the fact that there was not a 

 dry ('outFide) spot to be found on a single sbooter except when the 

 butt of the gun came to the shoulder. All went home at night 

 well pleased and hoping for a good day to-morrow. The leading 

 Bcores ran: r

March 12.— Slid raining and attendance not quite as laree as 

 vesterdav, but still the ones who are left are happy, and the 

 £ 'pop" of the wood powder and the "whang bang" of the black is 

 unremitting, a« the contestants hurry around the score and 

 "walk tbe piank" from trap to ti'ap. Mud ankle deep is no im- 

 pediment to the good time we are having and the stories told 

 around the stove in the "shanty" are so "dry," that the wet ones 

 soon forcet it ever rained. The scores ran:

 Edwards. G. Hilsendegen and Livingston 9 each. 



Event No. 9, guaranteed S100 purse: Benscotten winner with 

 fall score of 20. 



March IS.— Again, as the opeuing hour draws near, it is seen 

 that we are destined to have more rain, and though when the firsi 

 shoot er goes to the score no rain is falling, yet it is in the air and 

 hound to come. The smoke, hangs over the traps and all are long- 

 ing for a breath of air. When it comes in earnest, bringing a 

 shower with it, and so stronely that the man at the score has to 

 brace himself against it, and as the storm beats in his face en- 

 deavors to make the trap puller hear him give the word. This, 

 however, onlv lasts a short time, and it begins to get colder. 

 Once in a while the sun peeps out, much to the disgust (ou one 

 account) of the "boys," as the rays are so brisrht in contrast to the 

 preceding gloom that it is difficult to locate the targets. 



All look forward to the $100 donation of Mr. E. W. Voigt, and 

 the "dead heads" around the stove begin to get out their guns 

 which have heretofore been idle, preparatory to enter the event 

 which does not demand an entrance fee, Hope is seen on every 

 face, as each one is sure of getting a slice of the prize. One 

 hundred and five enter tbe race, and the men who have been 

 shooting richt along look blue again when they think of all this 

 "free for all" crowd coming in for a share. However, it is quickly 

 seen that the great majoritv stand no show. Twenty-five birds 

 are be J ng shot at, and 20 is no good for a place. So one bv one the 

 "adventurers" fall, until about the same names appear as win- 

 ners, as have been repeated over and over again during the tour- 

 nament. 



The team contests are shot off as rapidly as possible. The Jack- 

 son team are shooting under protest, and though they win, yet the 

 protest is sustained and the cup is finally won by the Bachelor 

 Club of Detroit. 



So closes to ns the largest tournament we have ever seen, and 

 all separate with best wishes for its repetition in the fall. 



Our division of guaranteed purses in all our tournaments is 

 somewhat different from others, and as it gives general satisfac- 

 tion and does away with necessity for handicapping, we consider 

 it the best system yet introduced. The surplus from guaranteed 

 purses, amounting to $64, was divided into five moneys, going to 

 five best averages for the three days: Emil Hebel, Detroit, hrsi : 

 Geo. A. Spross. Toledo, O.. second; E. S. Benscotten, Shinrock,0., 

 third; Louis Youngblood, Deti-oit, fourth; John Parker, Detroit, 

 and H. M. Livingston, Saratoga, N. Y., fifth. 



The final day's score stood: Event No. 1, at 10 singles: Ben- 

 scotten, Pike, Fleisher and Youugblood 10 each. 



Event No. 2, at 15 singles: Livingston 15. 



Event No. 3, guaranteed purse $50, 15 birds: Youngblood, 

 Parker, Wendt and Pike 14 each. 

 Event No, 4. 5 singles and 5 pair; Hebel 14, 



Event No. 5, Voigt $100 purse, 25 bluerocks, 5 traps, 5 moneys:

 Livingston, McDonald, Youngblood and Andrews 23 each ;

 ter captured it in August and Parker this time in 100 bird races. 

 The above race was for the purpose of making final disposition of 

 the medal, and was again won by Parker, tbus making it. bis 

 absolutely, and entitling him to the honor of champion of Mich- 

 igan. Gakby. 



"CLAREMONT SHOOTING GROUNDS, N. J., March 29.— The 

 uncertainty of trap-shooting w T as illustrated to-day on these 

 grounds in an emphatic fashion. The champions and the local 

 opposing team all fell down, way down. Why? echo answers. A 

 glance at the scores shows some queer things. The grand team of 

 five, composed of Messrs. Miller, Sigles J. Von Lengerke, Brient- 

 nall and Cranmer, all 90 men, and as strong a team as could be 

 gotten up anywhere in this country, broke the fewest bluerocks, 

 viz.: 121 out of 200 shot at, the champions broke 132 each team, 

 wbilo the balance of the local talent, apparently the weakest of 

 the left, made the best score, 134 out. of 200 There was a fair at- 

 tendant at the grounds, probably over 300, and lively shooting 

 was carried on all day from 9:30 to sundown. The next monthly 

 tournament will be held April 25 and 28. the first day live birds, 

 the second day bluerock targets. Below are scores of sweep

BREWER IN AUSTRALIA— The third of the pigeon-shooting 

 contests between Captain Brewer, of the United States, and Mr. 

 L. Clarke, of this Colony, took place on tne grounds of the Mel- 

 bourne Gun Club yesterday (Feb. 17). and resulted in a draw 

 match, each shooter making tbe fine score of 85 birds out of a pos- 

 sible 100, On the occasion of the first match, which was an even 

 term one, Captain Brewer won rather easilv, and he then con- 

 ceded Mr. Clarke a handicap of 3yds. in the second match, which 

 be lost by one bird. Yesterday both competitors shot from the 

 30yds. mark, and both were in fine form. It is probable that they 

 did not actually miss more than one or two birds each, for in Cap- 

 tain Brewer's case, and also in Mr. Clarke's, three birdB were shot 

 dead, but they fell outside the boundary line and counted as 

 misses in the score. Mr. Clarke's victory seemed certain, for he 

 was one bird to the good when very near the 100. but he missed 

 his 98th, and thus the score was equalized and the match was 

 drawn. Mr. Clarke does not want to shoot anymore matches 

 against Captain Brewer, as he considers that he has performed 

 all that can be expected of him in shooting three matches, which 

 be has done to endeavor to uphold the reputation of shooting men 

 in Australia. Captain Brewer, on arriving from the United States, 

 issued an open challenge, and Mr. Clarke, not wishing that the 

 Captain should be able to say that he could not get any one to 

 shoot against him in Australia, accepted, and has firt-d three 

 matches, with the results of which he is satisfied.— Melbourne
