The Central Iowa Tournament. 



Amiss, Iowa, Aug, IS.-The Central Jowa SliootiBg tournamient 

 opened at tbe Driviug Park at this place ou Tuesday and closed 

 Jast nigut, the attendaace being rather light owing to the warm 

 weather and busy season. The shoot was under the management 

 of tr. C. OhristiansoTi and John Georgeson. Bluerock targets and 

 trap3 were used and both gave good f?atisfaction. The shooting 

 was from hve traps under the rapid-firing system, which in my 

 judgment tak^-s away every particle of pleasure from target 

 shooting. I for one will welcome the day when some shooting 

 club gets backbone enough to hold a tournament under the old 

 system of shooting from three or five traps under the National or 

 American Association rules. 



Among the shooters in attendanre were Hon. J. G. Smith and 

 Henry Durant, of Algona; E. D. and H. J. Trotter, of Kingsley; G. 

 E. Hughes, of ionda; Bergen and Kosrerman, of Ida Grove; But- 

 ler, of Boone; Leonard of Nevada; Allerton, of Sandford; Whit- 

 mg and Budd, of pes Moines; J. M. Taylor, of Knoxville and G. 



. Resroat, of Virginia. The office work was done by P. C. Whit- 

 ing, who was always ready to take in or pay out cash.

Light Attendance at Springfield.

 at Springfield, N. .1., on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week was 

 expected to attract a big crowd of shooters especially from those 

 clubs in and about Newark. Whenever a club in this vicinity 

 holds a shoot there are sure to be represenatives of the Union 

 Club present and for this reason it was thought that Newarkers 

 would, patronize the ahoor. But although the weather conditions 

 were favorable the crowd failed to materialise, eight entries being

About Powders. 



WiLKESBAKRE, Pa.. Aug. 13.— While in attendance at the Penn- 

 .ylvania Slate tournament, held at Reading last week, I noticed 

 the almost entire absence of the use of black powder among the 

 shooters. It would be safe to state that 49 out of every 50 men who 

 took part in the open to all events used nitro powder. 



This shows a most remarkable advancement and a big card for 

 the nitro powder companies. The powder used at last year's 

 tournament at Williamsport was about evenly divided between 

 black and nitro, and even this year's tournament of the New 

 York State Sportsmen's Association at Syracuse showed that 

 many were still using black powder ("soft coal"). 



Why first-class shooters will still persist in using black powder 

 more than I can understand. A Williamsport shooter re- 

 marked that a man who used black powder ought to be handi- 

 capped by himself; but I think it would not be hardly fair, as a 

 shooter who used hlack powder in a big tournament is handi- 

 capped enough. 



I found on inquiring among the most prominent sportsmen and 

 those who were winning the ma,iorityof prizes, that American 

 wood powder had the best of it, although E.G., S.S. and Schultze 

 came in for a share of the money. VV, Bahre. 



Wilkesbarre Gun Club. 



WiLKBSBARRE, Pa., Aug. 32. -Following are the scores made at 

 the shooting grounds near the Wilkesbarre gun factory on Satur- 

 day last. Bluerock targets were used, thrown from 3 traps, rapid 

 firing system, and il was the first time that this system was ever 

 used here, but the shooters fell into it at once and thoroughly 

 ■ njoyed themselves.

Nearly one-half of the shooters used Wilkesbarre guns. Three 

 months ago not a bluerock trap or target existed in this city. A 

 small gun club in the suburbs were shooting at glass balls, hut 

 now three difterent clubs have purchased traps and targets of the 

 latest pattern and hold weekly practice shoots, besides several 

 modest sportsmen who have traps and birds of their own for their 

 private practice, as they are not accustomed to appearing before 

 the public. New shooters are springing up every week, and be- 

 fore long this city will show a list of entries equal to the big 

 shoots. w, Baehe.
