 Sperbeck and Sherwin div. second. Born, Carmichael. Friese, 

 Seefeldt div. third, and Kavel, Metmier, Tucker, Lewis, Geo. An- 

 derson and Holt div. fourth. 



May SO— The shooting to-day was tbe best of tbe whole tourna- 

 ment. The day bpgau with an extra sweepstakes, first money in 

 which was divided by Seefeld and Warner. Rubel and Atwell 

 tied on the shoot-off for second. 



Contest No. 7. the flr=t regular shoot on the, day's programme, 

 was a "miss and out," each man dropping out if he missed one of 

 the five. Of the 15 who had entered 5 only were successful: At- 

 well, Holt, Brand. S. Meunier and J. Meunier. 



The team shoot at 10 birds each resulted in Carmichael and 

 Warner, and Ruble and Holt dividing first money on 17. Strass- 

 burger and John took second with 16. 



John Strassherger made a perfect score in No. 9, shooting at 10 

 single standard target, and Ruhle took second money. 



Interest centered in the shoot at live birds, contest No. 10. This 

 shoot lasted a considerable time, for the reason that a number of 

 ties had to be shot ofT. Thp. final result was as follows: Chapman, 

 Deiter and Ruble took first money on fi, and Friese, Carmichael, 

 Williamson, Atwell, Marlett, Seefeld, Dickens Holt and Meunier 

 divided second on 5. Of those who had made four, five withdrew, 

 and six shot off, F. P. Stannard taking the whole pot. Fourth 

 money was taken by F. C. G. Brand with three. Two had with- 

 . drawn and three went out when the tie was shot off. 



Before the live shoot began the members of the club were called 

 together in order to witness the presentation of a gold watch to 

 F. P. Stannard, as a testimonial from the club for his good shuot- 

 ing when the trapshnoters' team gave their exhibition early in 

 the spring. They challenged the club to have one man shoot 

 against one of their team whom khey were to select. They chose 

 J. R. St'ce, of Omaha, while the club settled on Mr. Stannard. 

 The result was that the expert from Omaha was badly beaten by 

 tbe Milwaukee man. This was the first and only time that a 

 member of the team suffered defeat at the hands of alocal marks- 

 man during the entire trip. 



At the next tournament a stricter enforcement of the rules of 

 the American Shooting Association will be made. Three or four 

 times yesterday argnments were had, owing to the rules nr>t be- 

 ing observed, but matters were smoothed over. The rules say 

 that a nird must be picked up with one hand and carried off tbe 

 field. This is to prevent the ' -retriever" from playing any tricks, 

 the employing of a spear, fastened to the. inside of the hand, for 

 instance, so as to draw blood from the bird. This rule was not 

 enforced at all, the boys often jumping on the birds and wringing 

 their heads before they had them off the field. Several shots 

 rushed out and brought in their own birds, kicking them to deatb, 

 which is likewise against the rule. Another important rule was 

 lost sight of altogether. It provides that a bird shall be scored as 

 "los<" if it has not been retrieved when the next man steps up to 

 shoot. It is the intention to use dogs for retrieving purposes at 

 the next tournament. 



THE CATSKILL TOURNAMENT. 



CATI§KILL. N. Y., May 27.— The trap shooting tournament held 

 here to-day was a very successful and pleasant one, but with 

 a diminished attendance, due to the threatening aspect of the 

 weather in the early hours of themorniug. A number of towns 

 that were, counted on for sure representations did not send a 

 single shooter, and Albany and Troy bad the best delegations of 

 marksmen. Those who took part in the tournament weTe pleased 

 at tbe capital management of that popular sportsman, George P; 

 Tolley. The contests were run so smoothly that the ten pro- 

 grammed events were carried through and an additional contest 

 and two extra sweeps shot out before the close of the day. The 

 drizzle of the early mornipg had ceased long before the arrival of 

 the visitors, and though the sky remained overcast until noon, 

 the lieht was bright and satisfactory. The last hours of the day 

 were simply deliahtful. the sun shining brightly, while the fra- 

 grant air seemed to infuse life into everybody. Horace B. Derby, 

 of the Albany Argun held the position of referee and scorer, and 

 had an efficient aid in Mr. Ira Gay, of Catskill. The scores fol- 

 low. All ties div. unless noted:

PHILADELPHIA, May 24. -By way of diversion the boys of the 

 Wayne Gun Club have of late taken strongly to pair matches 

 among themselves. Nearly every Saturday afternoon races of 

 this character are shot off, generally for a purse of $20, 25 blue- 

 rocks per man being the rule. Up to date the fun has been of the 

 jug-handle variety, Frank Hessler and Jeffries apparently having 

 formed a combination to swet p things clean, At-least that has 

 been the practical outcome. Rumors are however m the air of 

 an opposition dark horse "combine" which is expected to bust 

 the aforesaid, and hopes are entertained that the smile will soon 

 be from another quarter. In to-day's match it was Kain and A. 

 Ulary versus Hessler and Jeffries, the latter pair winning: 



Jeffries 15 Kain 14 



Hessler 19-34 Ulary 21-35 



ST. LOUIS, Mo., M<»y 28.— A live-bird match for $100 a side and 

 price of birds was shot to-day at Oompton Avenue Park between 

 James E. Hagerty and Dr. M. C. Starkloff. If the day had not 

 been so warm the probabilities are that the birds used would have 

 been a clipping lot, but, as it wis they were in the majority of in- 

 stances a tired and indifferent collection. Mr. F. Jackson, who 

 acted as refere°, was not familiar with the rules, and decided two 

 birds lost for Hagerty when he should have been allowed to shoot 

 at another bird in both cases. When three birds were liberated 

 at once, and Hagerty refused to shoot, he. decided lost bird, and 

 again when his gun was out of order and the bird escaped. Both 

 decisions were protested by Hagerty, but as they had no bearing 

 on the result protests were withdrawn. The conditions were: 100 

 live birds, A. S. A. rules, for $100 a side. Tnn score:
