FOREST AND STREAM. 



SPRINGFIELD INTERSTATE. 



I Springfield, O.— Editor Forest and Stream; The Springfield tour- 

 nament of the Interstate Manufacturers' and Dealers' Association, 

 beld May 2, 3 and 4, under the auspices of the Springfield Gun Club, 

 Imust be classed as one of the successes of 1894, although the attend- 

 } ance the second day was not fully equal to the anticipations of the 

 members of the Springfield Gun Club, as several promised delegations 

 failed to materialize. The weather waB all the most exacting could 

 have asked the first two days, there not being so much as an indica- 

 tion of possible rain, and the absence of strong wind added much to 

 Ithe advantage under which the shooters contested. The third day 



• opened dark and cloudy with a slight rain in the morning, but this did 

 not deter the shooters from being on hand at the grounds promptly. 



I ■ The grounds of the Springfield Gun Club are admirably located, sit- 



• 'uate on the Landsdowne Park Electric line south of the city of Spring- 

 fi field. Standing upon the club porch and looking due south one may 

 ,see Lansdowne Park, its pretty fields fringed with timber. Due east 

 i lies the beautiful woods of Leffel, while to the north lies the city of 



■ Springfield. All this attractive scenery adds to the location of the 

 I gun club grounds. 



I The club house is a building of about 12x20ft., and the location of 

 Ithe traps for the best possible results in shooting has been carefully 

 attended to. The house and platform front due south, and shooting 

 ■can be carried on rain or shine, as a large canvas fly is stretched, com- 

 Ipletely covering the score, and thus protecting the shooter from the 



■ sun or rain. 



I The club has occupied these beautiful grounds for the past three 



■ seasons, but they have lately received notice to vacate at once, as sev- 

 I eral lots in this particular plot have been sold off for building pur- 

 I poses; so in all probability this will be the last shoot on these grounds. 

 I Manager Elmer E. Shaner had everything arranged and in order for 

 > the opening of the tournament promptly at the advertised hour. The 

 I tents of the subscribers to the Association were pitched to the right of 

 | the club house in the following order: American E. C. Powder Co , 

 ■U. M. C. Co., Von Lengerke & Detmold, Standard Keystone Co., Ta- 

 I tham & Bros., LeRoy Shot and Lead Works, Smokeless S. S. Powder 

 1 Co., and Forest and Stream. 



I The handsome display of the U. M. C. Co. was the attraction for all 

 I shooters, and Mr. W. M. Thomas was kept busy explaining the many 

 I good qualities of their goods. 



I „ The first two days of the tournament were devoted to target shoot 



■ ing exclusively, while the third day was live bird day, and a team race 

 I of 20 men a side between the Springfield and Dayton gun clubs. 

 I Springfield proved too much for Dayton and came out victorious by 8 

 I targets in a total of 500 a side. The conditions of the team race were 



SO men per team, 25 targets a man and for a purse of $80. The live 

 I birds were a mixed lot, there being some extra flyers among them 

 I which required good judgment on the part of the shooter to bring 

 I them to grass. 



I The Interstate Manufacturers' and Dealers' Association's rules gov- 

 1 erned all contests. Following are the scores:

Trap at San Antonio. 



For five hours the crack of the shotgun drowned out every other 

 sound at Lakeview on the afternoon of April 29. The scores made 

 were good, bad and indifferent, but the favorable comments on Mr. 

 Hough's brilliant article on San Antonio's chile queen and Southwest 

 Texas quail were numerous. By-the-by, our morning daily the Ex- 

 press, reproduced it in full, showing that they, too, can appreciate a 

 good thing when they see it. 



At its last meeting this club resolved to abolish the medal racket 

 and "innovated" a new one. They shoot for two trophies now— one 

 for the first and the other for the second class men. The one in each 

 class making the highest average for the remainder ofthe season takes 

 the prize in his class. But then he must attend every shoot, for if he 

 absents himself his total average is made up from what he has shut, 

 and from it is deducted one-twenty-second part^if the total he woul.l 

 make should he continue to shoot on the same line to the end. This 

 is done in order to secure attendance, aDd the married men are kicking 

 like blazes. But then President Shields will soon start the machine 

 and whip the recalcitrants into the traces.

Aberdeen Rod and Gun Club. 



Aberdeen, Wash., April 26.— Inclosed find score of the sixth regular 

 shoot of the Aberdeen Rod and Gun Club. The weather being nice a 

 large attendance was out to see the shoot. The new Peoria black 

 birds that we use here are harder to break than the old ones, and they 

 are smaller too. Lots of the birds that were gathered up after the shoot 

 had from 3 to 5 shot holes in them, and still they would not break. 

 The score was lower than usual to-day. Ohas. Koehler won the gold 

 medal for the fourth time, with 15 out of 20, The excitement of the 

 day was the race for the leather medal. There were four members 

 trying to get it, but it fell at last to C. B. Weatherwax. he getting 3 

 out of 20. 



The Aberdeen Rod and Gun Club have challenged the Montesano 

 Gun Club to shoot on Saturday, May 5. Both teams are evenly 

 matched and a close score is looked for. 



Following is the score of last shoot for the medal; 20 singles, 3 un- 

 known angles. Peoria blackbirds/
