H. Robbins is working hard for the success of the Interstate shoot 

 to be held in Chicago, on May 17. 18 and 19, and predicts that it will be 

 a mammoth event. In a personal letter under date of April 23, he says: 

 "Just now I am head over heels in work with the Prairie Gun Club 

 shoot under the auspices of the Interstate Association. From the 

 present outlook it is going to be a mammoth event. The fact of the 

 Interstate Association deciding to hold their championships here has 

 enhanced the shoot very greatly. The West is apparently all torn up 

 over the team content, the same as the East. It looks as though the 

 Eastern boys were going to come out here in large numbers. La fact, 

 I leave as soon as I can get away for the East to arrange for a special 

 train for them over the Erie Railroad so that they can all come in a 

 body and be received in good substantial shape. You are probably 

 aware that the gold cup given by the Lake street elevated railroad 

 will represent the championship at targets and the Chicago St. Leger, 

 to which the city of Chicago adds $500, will be for the championship 

 at live birds. The International race will also be for the champion- 

 ship. There will be unquestionably the largest crowd at this tourna- 

 ment, that is judging from present appearances, that was ever known 

 at a shoot before. Some gentlemen who seem to be in a position to 

 judge, estimate that there will be From 5,000 to 10,000 people present. 

 The mere raising of flags alone on Garfield Park means 1,000. inasmuch 

 as it is in the heart of the city. However, I am in for it and propose 

 to give the boys a grand shoot and au elegant time. Our club will en- 

 tertain Capt. Dresseli as its special guest, and we will do it up browu." 



Binghamton, N. Y., April 27.— The Binghamton Gun Club held their 

 second semi-weekly shoot yesterday, with a large attendance Scores 

 were very good considering the little practice the boys have had. N. 

 W. Waldron won dub badge with score of 21 out of 25 bluerocks. 

 That jolly good fellow, D. M Lefever, of Syracuse, was present with 

 one of his famous ejectors, and set a pattern that, will be hard for the 

 bovsto beat, breaking 34 out of first 35, and 39 out of last 40. To 

 show the interest taken, after the regular club shoot there were 15 

 Impromptu sweeps shot off, darkness alone putting an end to the 

 sport. We expect to get up a little tourney in about two weeks, and 

 invite our neighbors in to see how nicely we are situated Winpield. 



The next shoot of the New Jersey Trap-Shooters' League will be 

 held on the Climax Gun Club grounds, at Fanwood, on Wednesday, 

 May 9. The club will put out an attractive programme of open to all 

 events. The team shoot, will be called at 2 P. M. Empire targets will 

 be used, the same as at the previous three shoots. The grounds may 

 be reached via the N.J Central It. R. as follows: From New York 

 at 9, 10 and 11:45 A. M.; from Newark at 8:55, 10:05 and 11:35 A.- M. 



A big entry list is expected for the amateur handicap at 25 live birds 

 per man, $15 entry, to be shot on the grounds of the Boiling Springs 

 Fish and Gnn Club, at Rutherford, on May 19, beginning at 10 A. M. 

 Thirty per cent, of the entry fee must he received by Secretary W. H. 

 Huck, Rutherford, N. J., on or before May 16. If less than fifteen, 

 entries four moneys, over fifteen entries five moneys. These grounds 

 have recently undergone great improvement and are now as good as 

 any for live bird shooting. 



The main feature of the tournament to be held at Salida, Col,, on 

 next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, will be the Salida cup team 

 shoot, for teams of not less than three men each, from any guu club 

 in the State, 20 siogles and 5 pairs per man, $5 entry per team, match 

 to be shot on Tuesday, and the 50-target shoot for the State cham- 

 pionship, unknown angles, $2.50 entry, to be shot on Wednesday. 



In a private letter from Major A. W. Du Bray, the well known Par- 

 ker representative he states that judging from interviews he has had 

 with prominent shooters he is satisfied that the coming Knoxville 

 shoot will exceed in number of entries anv similar affair held in this 

 country. He also says that Roger Van Gilder assured him that a 

 bountiful supply of live birds were assured.

Interstate and Prairie. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I would call the attention of the trap-shootine fraternity to the Chi- 

 cago tournament of the Interstate Manufacturers' and Dealers' Asso- 

 ciation, given under the auspices of the Prairie Gun Club, May 17, 18 

 and 19. 



This tournment promises to be of greater magnitude than any ever 

 held in America. Judging from the enthusiasm that is cropping out 

 in every quarter, and from advice received from Chicago, nothing like 

 it will have ever been seen in the West. 



A literary bureau in connection with the shoot has been established 

 in the office of the Prairie Gun Club in order to reach every sports- 

 man. 



A reception committee has been appointed with the Hon. John P. 

 Hopkins. Mayor of Chicago, as chairman, and the city Council has 

 voted the freedom of the city to all visiting sportsmen. 



The Prairie Gun Club advises rnejthey have assurances]that numbers 

 of shooters will be present who never appeared at a tournament be- 

 fore. 



Over $1,000 iu cash will be added to the purses, in addition to $1,000 

 worth of gold and silver prizes. 



The Novelty rule will be introduced in Chicago for the first time, and 

 the Lake Street Elevated gold cup, stake event, will be changed to a 

 sweepstakes at 100 targets per man, $5 entrance, Novelty rule, four 

 moneys, IGyds. riss, the winner, in addition to first monev. to receive a 

 beautiful gold vase suitably inscribed, valued at $150, and emblematic 

 of the championship of America under the Novelty rule Another im- 

 portant event will be the City of Chicago St. Leger, a sweepstakes 

 open to all, for the championship of America, at 50 live birds per man, 

 entrance $25, four moneys, 30yds. rise The city of Chicago will add 

 $500 to the purse, and the Interstate M?mufacturers' and Dealers' As- 

 sociation rules will govern it. 



It is th« intention of the Prairie Gun Club to leave nothing undone 

 that will add to the success of the tournament. 



I would also announce that the Interstate Manufacturers' and Deal- 

 ers' Association has booked tournaments for Greensboro, N. O, Sept. 

 19 and 20, under the auspices of the Greensboro Gun Club, and at 

 Charleston, S. O, Oct. 10 and 11, under the auspices of the Palmetto 

 Gun Club. The Greensboro Gun Club will add $200 to the purse, and 

 the Palmetto Gun Club will add a sum to be announced later on. This 

 completes the circuit of the Interstate Association for the season of 

 1894. The entire paraphernalia of the Association will beat Altoona, 

 Pa., during the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's Association's tourna- 

 ment, Aug. 21 to 24. Elmer E. Shaker, Manager I. M. and D. A.

The Perkioman Gun Club. 



Perkioman. Pa., April 28 — The Perkioman Gun Club held their one 

 day shoot on their grounds, about ten minutes' walk from Perkioman 

 Junction, on the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad. The dav was all 

 one could wish for a spring day, and the location of the grounds are 1 

 as pleasant as any in Pennsylvania. The workers for the club were 

 W. Haginbotham and John Nettles, and of the others there was J. 

 Benner and C. Miller from Pennsburg; J. Schmeck from Reading, and 

 J. Thurman, F. Henry, H. Landis, E. Davis and H. Thurman from 

 Pennsylvania. One of the amusing incidents of the shoot was in event 

 No. 6, H. Landis shot in 'he first squad and broke his 15 straight and 

 there were only three others to shoot, he came into the club house and ! 

 said: "There is an example for you fellows." The three, F. Henry, 

 E. David and H. Thurman, went to the score and each broke their 15. 

 So much for a good example.

The Chamberlin Tournament. 



Cleveland, O.. April 21.— Editor Forest and Stream: We have just i 

 received notice that we have been granted special rates of a fare and 

 one-third under the certificate plan to our tournament at Cleveland 

 June 19 to 21, from all points in the Central, Southern and Trunk Line 

 passenger associations. We also expect to have rates granted us 

 from all points in the Western Passenger Association territory. 



The territory now covered includes all points east of the Mississippi 

 River south of Burlington, la., including Peoria, Chicago and all 

 points in lower Michigan and Ontario, Canada, and excepting New | 

 England points. 



We are already assured of over 150 entries, and have no doubt but I 

 that we will have 200 or more shooters on the grounds, and exceed all 

 our other tournaments in point of attendance. 



The grounds will be fitted up with everything to facilitate the 

 handling of large crowds, and with experienced managers we hope to 

 to have everything move off as smoothly as possible. 



There is no doubt that the tournament will call together the largest 

 number of prominent trap shots ever gathered at one tournament, 

 and it will be worth a long journey to witness the shooting.
