would not entertain the sucgestinn, >>ul; Insisterl upon fulfilling 

 its promises to the letter, although they were then several hun- 

 dred dollar.s behind. So all the boys could do was to shoot "ao- 

 oordiua to Hoyle." Up to this time there had been a close fight 

 fur the seven average prizes offered for the guaranteed events 

 during the four davs, Barrett having Iohk only 13. Levengston 14, 

 Miller 15, Heikes 33 and Edgarton 38 birds out of 300 birds shot at 

 by each. Edgarton and Heikes were of course out of the race, so 

 far as high honors were concernpd, and it was impossible to guess 

 which of the three others would finish on top. Up to and includ- 

 ing the third event Barrett gained one on each Miller and Leveng- 

 ston, but from here on the' ".Jersey Cyclone" pulled himself to- 

 gether, aud by making dean scores in each of the last four events 

 he won first average ($32), his aggregate being 383 breaks out of 

 400 targets shot at, an average of 95 75 per cent. Barrett won sec- 

 ond money (S18) with 380 breaks, an even 90 ner cent.; third money 

 ($16) went, to Levengston on 377 bre-^ks, 94 25 per cent ; fourth 

 money ($14) to Carter on 368 breaks, 93 per cent.; fifth money ($12) 

 was divided by Heikes and Edgarton on 367 breaks each, an aver- 

 age of 91.75 per cent.

THE INTERSTATE AT AUBURN. 



The shooting tournament of the Auburn Gun Club, given with 

 the assistance of the Interstate Manufacturers' and Dealers' As- 

 sociation, at Auburn. N. Y., on Sept. 20-31, was held under most 

 favorable auspices, so far as the weather conditions and man- 

 agement were concerned, hut the attendance was very light on 

 both days. Elmer E. Shaner, of Pittsburg, Pa., was in charge of 

 the arrangement of traps, screens, etc., as well as the pitching of 

 the tents of the various subscribers to the association fund. All 

 these details were carefully at^endfid to. 



The grounds of the Auburn Gun Club, which are situated about 

 a mile from the centJer of the town proper, and reached by a well- 

 equipped electric car line, are large and well adapted to trap- 

 shooting purposes. The entire outfit is owned in fee simple by the 

 club, having been purchased after the State shoot was held at that 

 place. To the right of the entrance is a well-built club hou^e SOX 

 30ft., one storv in height, with a 10ft. verandah extending the en- 

 tire length. The inside of the house is provided with lockei-s for 

 the use of the members, loading tables, etc. To the left of the 

 ground entrance is a good-sized storage house. The grounds are 

 fairly level to a point about 20yds. be.vond the line of tra.ps. Here 

 they slope downward f nr a few yards and then take an upward 

 turn, which continues to the brow of a hill half a mUe beyond. 

 For live-bird shooting I am Inclined to think these grounds would 

 prove almost as puzzling to the unitiated as .Jim. Elliott's famous 

 "Side Hill Park," in Kansas Cit.v. For target shooting, however, 

 they are all right. The traps of the Auburn Club, five in number, 

 are arranged behind permanent screens about 25 yds. in front of 

 the club house, and to the right of these were set the five ti'aps of 

 the association. To the left nf the line of traps was thn black- 

 board and cashier's office. To the left of the cashier's office were 

 the tents of Forest and Stkeam, the American Field and the 

 Standard Keystone Target and Trap Company, these being 

 directly in front of ;the main entrance. To the right of the club 

 house were the tents of Henry C. Squires, S. S. Powder Compan.y, 

 Colt's Firearms Company, Tatham Brothers, American Wood 

 Powder Company, and the Union Metallic Cartridge Company. 

 The only ones of the above firms reprpsented was Foeest and 

 Stream, S. S. Powder Company, U. M. C. Co., and the Standard 

 Keystone Company. 



The management of the shoots was in the hands of H. A. Pen- 

 rose. Elmer;E. Shaner and Charles W, Tuttle. Messrs. 55 ban er and 

 C. H. Bristor carried on the clerical work on the first day, but on 

 the second day Shaner was alone except when one or another of 

 the members gave him a lift. There was no assistant cashier nor 

 assistant blackboardraan. The weather on the opening day was 

 delightful, the sun shining clear and bright and the wind being 

 Just strong enough to make the flight of the keystone targets a 

 little erratic at times. The attendance, as we have stated, was 

 light, but this wns to be expected, as the 82,200 guaranteed by the 

 Saratoga Gun Club drew a number of shooters who would other- 

 wise have visited Auburn. In regard to the conflict of dates 

 between these two clubs we was informed by both Messrs. Tuttle 

 and Penrose that they had received assurances from the Saratoga 

 people that the la Iter's tournament would be held during the last 

 week in September, and that then the dates were fixed for the 

 Auburn tourna ment before they knew the dates had been changed 

 by Saratoga. Mr. Levengston, o" the Saratoga Gun Club Informs 

 us that he did malie the above statement to both Messrs. Tuttle 

 and Penrose, btit that before that time he had been informed by 

 Mr. Tuttle that the Auburn shoot would be held on Sept. 13 and 14, 

 and when the Saratoga dates were changed it was done In order 

 not to conflict with the Peekskill dates, and with the understand- 

 ing that the Saratoga shoot would be the week following Auburn. 

 On one point we are sure, and that is that the notice that the 

 Saratoga shoot would be held Sept. 30-23 reached us a consider- 

 able time ahead of the notice claiming the dates for Auburn. 



Among those who were present on the opening dav were Messrs 

 Richmond, Bnrst, Hicks and Norton, of Rochester: C. Tomlinson, 

 of Fulton, N. y.; Harry B. Whitney, the oldtim<^ boy wonder of 

 Phelps, N. Y., who was accompanied bv his father; H. A. Penrose 

 of New London, Conn., and Elmer E. Shaner. of Pittsburgh, Pa. 



It was nearly 11 o'clock before the regular programme was 

 started, but after that time there was no drag, despite the fact 

 that the hustling as well as the most of the clerical work in the 

 office and the placing of the names on the blackboard devolved 

 upon Elmer Shaner. He was equal to the emergency, however, 

 and kept everything booming. In the afternoon the local shoot- 

 ers turned out in force, and the entries ran as high as twenty- two." 

 All the guaranteed purses were shot in accordance with the pro- 

 gramme, the shortage for the day being about $16. The programme 

 was linished shortly after 4 o'clock. 



After a wash-up came a tasty supper at the Osborne House, the 

 proprietor of which, Mr. Taylor, is not only an enthusiastic 

 sportsman, but a first-class caterer as well. After supper and a 

 stroll about the well-kept streets of the town the party of visit- 

 ors were escorted to the handsome suite of rooms occupied by the 

 gun club. Last March, when we were in A^uburn, these rooms 

 were undergoing an overhauling, and it was lumber here, there 

 and everywhere, but on the present visit all repairs had been 

 completed and we are fain to say that the quarters are as cosy 

 and comfortable as any we have run across. The rooms, four in. 

 number, are situated over one of the Auburn banks, and are very 

 large. They comprise a pool room, billiard room, card, reception 

 and secretary's room and one used for the meeting of the club as 

 well as for lounging and reading. "There's an organ in the par- 

 lor to keep the house in tune." while a number of handsome pic- 

 tures adorn the walls. We found in the rooms Messrs. C.W. Tut- 

 Ue, James and Henry Carr, C. L. Egbert, George Corning, Irving 

 Brigden, Thos. Church and other members of the local club and 

 were pleasantly entertained until time to return to our couches. 



Returning to the hotel we received the heartiest kind of a 

 greeting from three of the members of Auburn's famous "Big 

 Pour." Ttiese were Alderman (soon to be Mayor) Eddy Parker, 

 Law Devitt and .Jack Titus. The fourth member of the 

 quartette. Eddy Cosgrove, was seriously ill at his home, the 

 doctors fearing an attack of brain fever. A short time previ- 

 ous to this "Cos" had gone oft" on a yachting trio, got caughr. in a 

 storm and was well wet. Indiflierence to a slight cold which re- 

 sulted was followed by the serious condition mentioned above. 

 Before leaving Auburn, however, we received the welcome intelli- 

 gence that with careful attention from his family and physician 

 he was improving, and the. doctor thought that, after all, the 

 threatened brain trouble would he averted. Whether the weather 

 he fair or storm.y. Auburn's ''Big Four" can always find some 

 pleasant method for amusing visitors even though they have t o
