FOREST AND STREAM. 



THE INTERSTATE AT PITTSBURG. 



Pittsburg, Pa.— The Interstate Manufacturers' and Dealers' Associ- 

 ation's target tournaments for the season of 1894 were formally opened 

 at Pittsburg, Pa , April 17, 18 and 19, by a tournament given under the 

 auspices of the Pittsburg Gun Club and the Iroquois Rifle Club. Ibis 

 was the Intestate's second tournament of the season, the first oemj, 

 the grand American handicap at live birds, at Dexter Parte, .New Yorit. 

 A little history of Pittsburg will not be amiss: i~i*«t^«. 



Columbus discovered America. Washington discovered Pittsburg 

 when he stood at the head of the Ohio River in 1753. If Washington 

 could return to earth again, the transformation wrought between tne 

 head of the islaDd that was opposite the ground now occupied by tne 

 Allegheny Arsenal (where he narrowly escaped drowning), and tne oia 

 stockade that served as a peg to support the claims two great nations 

 contested and around which the battles were fought that decided the 

 future of the North American continent, is so great that he would 

 probably exclaim, 'What genii has accomplished this! 



Pit sburg is a great city; great by virtue of her geographical posi- 

 tion, her inexhaustible resources in coal and minerals, her river and 

 rail facilities, her central location and her proverbial industry. 



More tonnage-railway and river traffic-originates in Pittsburg than 

 in any other city on the globe. In all that illustrates substantial 

 growth and steady progress, Pittsburg is far ahead of the times, She 

 has distanced the'Old World in steel working, glass making and other 

 industries, and has earned the name of beine the "Birmingham of 

 America," perhaps better known as the "Smoky City. 



Nature has done much for Pittsburg; the picturesque view pre- 

 sented from Highland Park, embracing portions of the two cities and 

 the Allegheny River, is unequalled. Globe girdlers, charmed with the 

 picture embracing cities knit together by bridges, uplands alternat- 

 ing in field and forest, and a noble river, assert that it is not sur- 

 passed in the world. Altogether unique are the night vi«ws of the 

 twin cities, obtained from half dozen points on the rampart-llke hills 

 that environ Pittsburg and Allegheny. The vast network of Pitts- 

 burg's factories aod mills lines her twenty-two miles of water rront 

 and extends back to the base of the hills on either aide of the Monon- 

 gahela River. , - ■ . , 



Exposition Park, where the tournament was held, was formerly 

 known as Smoky Island, although it has long since been rilled in and 

 now it is not an island at all. Directly opposite the river from the 

 shooting grounds the old block house, famous in hi itory, was in 

 plain view. , •- 



Manager Elmer E. Shaner had everything arranged on time for the 

 opening of the tournament, the tents arranged back of the 18-yard 

 mark in a Hemi-circle. Messrs. Justus von Lengerke and Noel E. 

 Money, of the Board of Directors of the Interstate Association, were 

 present during the entire tournament. Mr. Ben O Bush, of Kalama- 

 zoo, Mich., introduced his new electric automatic indicating trap-pull, 

 *hich is a great invention, indeed. By means of one push button Mr. 

 Bush's invention will spring targets under the Novelty rule, five 

 unknown traps, and doubles, and in unknown traps or the novelty 

 rule the puller himself does not know what trap is being pulled and 

 cannot show any favoritism whatever. Mr. Bush has certainly invented 

 a wonderful machine, indeed. 



The opening day of the tournament, which was an extra day ar- 

 ranged by the local clubs, was devoted to the shooting of a handicap 

 target race at from 100 to 125 targets; that is, the "scratch" men shot 

 at 100 targets each, while the "limit" men shot at 125 each, and the 

 other handicaps rang, d between 100 and 125. The handicapping was 

 done by a committee of three from each club, and this race was ar- 

 ranged in the first place to give the local shooters a chance for pre- 

 liminary practice under the Novelty rule prior to the opening of the 

 Association tournament the following day. 



Previous to the issuing of the Pittsbugh programme, the Pittsburgh 

 and Iroquois Gun Clubs requested permission to give this handicap 

 race as an extra day. which permission was granted, the local clubs 

 taking the entire responsibility. The race being open to all resulted in 

 a total of 44 entries, and proved to be one of the main attractions of 

 the tournament; nltnough some of the events had as high as 64 entries. 

 Had as big an entry been anticipated, two sets of traps would have 

 been placed in position in order to give contestants all the shooting 

 they wanted

Anent the above club shoot and the scores of Morfey and Lenone 

 hangs a tale. Away back in the early part of last November we were 

 requested by these two gentlemen to act as stakeholder in a match at 

 twenty-five targets each for $10 a side. We were handed the whole 

 amount of the stake and it was arranged that the match should be 

 shot a fortnight later. On the appointed day serious illness in the 

 family of Mr. Lenone caused a postponement, and try as we would we 

 were unable to get the principals to come together and settle the ques- 

 tion of superiority. Finally, however, they agreed upon April 17, and 

 allowed the ownership of the stake to be decided by the scores in the 

 club shoot. As these show, Morfey was the winner by a score of 24 to 

 Lenone's 20, and right glad were we to turn over the stake to the win- 

 ner. 



April SO. — The grounds were visited by a big crowd of sportsmen 

 from Newark, Hackensack, Rutherford, Passaic and other places to 

 see the match between Morfey and J. H. Outwater at 50 birds each, 

 HurliDgham rules, at $50 a side. T. C. Wright was referee, Wm. 

 Dutcher scorer and Hery Wolfe trap-puller. 



The birds were a fairly good lot and both men in average form. At 

 the close of the firsc halt it looked like '-anybody's game," each having 

 lost five birds. On the windup, however, the Paterson expert pulled 

 up, and with only one lost bird crossed the wire a winner. 



Both were credited with good work. Morfey made a very long kill 

 on his first round; his 2d was hit hard but got away; 10th, ditto; 11th, 

 fine first barrel kill ; 13th, fell a yard too tar out to score; 17th, fell 

 dead between fences; 21st, on ground, got another bird; 28th, good 

 kill, fast bird; 34th, extra fast towering driver, pretty stop with sec- 

 ond; 46th, long stop; 50th, fast bird, clean miss with both barrels. 

 Kills, 44; dead out of bounds, 2. 



Outwater's 1st twisted and turned its prettiest- to get away, but 

 had to come down when second reached it: 4th fell just over the line; 

 13th, full of lead, fell dead in grand stand; 15th, fast, got both barrels, 

 but decided not to stop; 16th, dead over fence, full of lead; 22d, easy 

 mark, should have been killed; 23d, missed with first, killed on ground 

 with second; 26th, extra fast driver, twisted and towered and got 

 away, was hit hard; 32d went out with good share of lead, a tough 

 one; 36th, mean twister, pretty stop with second; 37th, a game bird, 

 long stop with second; 46th. caught both charges, but went out to 

 die; 47th, same; 48th fell dead on shooter's platform; 49th got out 

 with full quota of shot. Kills 40, dead out of bounds 5.

 Morfey and Jack Ryan, of Hackensack, prepared to shoot off their 

 15 bird race for $25 a side, under old Long Island rules, 21yds. rise. 

 Wm. Bunn was trap-puller for Morfey, Thos. Rogers performed a like 

 service for Ryan; T. C. Wright was referee; Rodgers trapped for Mor- 

 fey; Boyle trapped for Ryan, and the scorer was Wm. Dutcher. 



Only three shots were scored by each man when, our correspondent 

 informs us, that "the match was broken up by the crowd breaking in 

 on shooters after a dispute over Ryan's fourth bird, which the referee 

 decided "no bird," as he had previously cautioned Ryan three times 

 about holding his gun too high. Morfey claimed the stakes, but we 

 were not informed as to whether or not he received them. The score 

 as far as shot follows: 



Morfey 010—1 Ryan 000—0
