Bunn's grounds at Singac. The conditions were: 80yds. rise, $50 a 
side, loser to pay for birds, Hurlingham rules to govern. Timmons

THE APGAB-HEBBABD TOURNAMENT. 
The Apgar- Hebbard tournament at Elizabeth, N. J., although not 
attended by very many shooters, was a decidedly pleasant affair. The 
quality of those who took part in it cannot be questioned ; the com- 
pany was warm enough to scare off a good half score of Jerseymen 
who would otherwise have supported Neaf and Charlie. The unsettled 
state of the weather also had much to do with keeping down the 
attendance; March had not shown herself in any favorable light, 
and as a result it was too much to expect that men would come any 
distance to take part in a tournament, losing three or four days 
from their business, when there was a prospect of so much shooting 
in the near future. 
Before reviewing each day's work, it will be well to say something 
about the management. With Billy Hobart as general boss and re- 
ceiving teller, William Parker as paying teller and Nate Astfalk as 
universal provider of creature comforts, Apgar and Hebbard could 
afford to look on complacently and shoot if they wanted to. Hobart 
has a way of wheedling the last dollar out of a man who has the faint- 
est suspicion that he can shoot; he kept the squads full all the time 
and hustled things generally outside of the cashier's office. In the 
cashier's office proper, Bill Parker was quiet but prompt, and a 
shooter's money was always forthcoming just as soon and whenever 
he wanted it. For this tournament Parker had added to the conven- 
iences of his office a kind of pigeonhole arrangement that enabled him 
to put his hand upon a man's account instantly, each division being 
lettered alphabetically. The system, too, of keeping a shooter's 
account practiced by Hobart and his proteges, viz,, Parker and others 
in this vicinity, originated first we believe at the grounds of the Bos- 
ton, Mass., Shooting Association, being fathered by O. R. Dickey, 
manager of that association. Instead of making up pay envelopes 
for every event, a process that needs a great amount of change, and 
also takes up a lot of time counting up the right amount of money, an 
account card is made out for each man, bis name is put on It, and 
every time he gets a place and a part of the purse he gets credit on 
this card; he thus can see at once how he stands, can draw his money 
each event if he likes to do so, or he can leave it in the cashier's care 
until all is over. The system is far ahead of the old pay envelope 
system generally used at tournaments nowadays. 
FIRST DAT, MARCH 81. 
The first day, March 31, was about the first spring day of the year. 
The sun was bright and very warm ; spring overcoats could be dis- 
pensed with very comfortably during the day. Any quantity of 
newly arrived robins were busily engaged searching for the early 
spring worms in the club grounds, reminding one forcibly that winter 
had gone for good. Of course there will be some chilly days between 
now and midsummer, but spring is here for sure, and trap-shooters 
are aware of that fact. It is pleasanter to be able to sit or stand out- 
side the club house and watch the shooting than to be coopedup with 
a host of others in a heated room, and then go out and nearly freeze 
to death while shooting one's score. To-day's warm sunshine was 
most refreshing. 
From out of town came quite a number of shooters: E. D. Fulford, 
of Utica, N.Y.; Kendall and Ho bbie, two of the cracks from Bing- 
hamton, N. Y.; Dick Merrill, a well-kn own shooter from Milwaukee, 
Wis.; Sim Glover, of Rochester, N. Y.; Ferd Van Dyke and B. A. 
Bartlett, representatives of the Winchester Repeating Arms Com- 
pany; Seth Glover, Fredonia, N. Y.; A. P. Pope, Olean, N. Y., etc. 
Home talent was well represented by Dutchy Smi 'h, E. Sickley, Neat 
Apgar, Tom Keller, E. D. Miller, Warren Smith, Piatt Adams, R H. 
Breintnall, E. A. Geoffroy, Nate Astfalk and Carl von Lengerke, the 
latter having only one week ago very nearly landed the Francotte gun 
and Schultze powder first for the Grand American Handicap, running 
20 straight before losing a bird that fell dead out of bounds.^ 
Sim Glover made high average to day with 186 breaks out of 210 
shot at. an average of 88.5 per cent.; Hobbie and Bartlett were 
respectively second and third with 87.6 and 87 1 per cent. Twenty- 
three shooters in all took part in the events shot to-day, and of that 
number twelve made averages of over 80 per cent. In the 60-target 
event, first money was divided between Piatt Adams and Dutchy with 
46 apiece. The scores in this event follow: 
No. 6, 50 targets, unknown angles, $5, 5 moneys:

SECOND DAY, APRIL 
The weather to-day was quite a change from that, of yesterday. A 
wind that had too much east in it. to be quite pleasant necessitated a 
recourse to heavy overcoats once more. Toward evening it began to 
grow chilly, and at nightfall the rain that had threatened all day fell 
in quantities sufficient to make it worth while staying at home. The 
light was none of the best at any time during the day, but that did 
not seem to affect Fulford in the least; he pointed his gun just right 
and did some excellent work, breaking an average of 94. 7 ner cent. 
In the 3 events he shot in while we were at the grounds Hobbie, of 
Binghamton. broke just 92 per cent, out of 50 targets shot at; Hobb'e 
uses a Burgess that he won at the Saratoga State shoot last year. 
Had Ferd Van Dyke broken one more target out of the 230 shot at as 
per our score, he would have made exactly 90 per cent. Out, of the 24 
shooters taking part in to-day's events 10 broke 80 per cent, or bet- 
ter. 
The 50-target race was productive of some very good shooting: 
Fulford scored 24 out of his first 25 and then ran 25 straight in his 
second string, scoring a total of 49 out of 50 at unknown angles. Ferd 
Van Dyke made a 23 and a 24, totaling 47 and winning second money. 
M. Herrington, the New York manager of the W-A Powder Co., made 
21 and 24, taking third money on 45. Fourth money was divided be- 
tween Eddie Collins (24 and 20) and E. Sickley (22 and 22) with 44 each. 
Sim Glover was next with 43, while there were three 42s and one 41 
Apgar was clean out of all form, as any one who knows how Neaf 
can shoot will see at a glance, Scores in the 50-target race were as 
follows: 
No. 6, 50 targets, unknown angles, $5, four moneys:

THIRD DAY, APRIL 2. 
The third day of the Apgar-Hebbard tournament opened up badly. 
Heavy, lowering clouds, rainstorms of more or less intensity, and a 
cold wind, all combined to keep shooters away from the grounds of 
the Elizabeth Gun Club. About 1 P. M. it brightened up considerably 
and the sun came out, but it was too lat« to redeem the day. Of those 
who shot through the programme, Fulford led with the capital per- 
centage of 90.3, an exceptionally high average, considering the condi- 
tions of the early part of the morning. The scores in tabulated form 
follow, all events being at unknown angles:

Jack Parker on the Atchison Shoot. 
Under date of April 3 Jack Parker writes us from Detroit, Mich., as 
follows: 
"For the benefit of those expecting to attend Louis Erhardt's ama- 
teur tournament, Atchison, Kan., April 14 to 17, 1 will give them some 
idea of what kind of a shoot it will be and how they will be received 
and entertained and about how many shooters will be in attendance. 
"The writer had the pleasure of managing last year's shoot and 
witnessing the many attentions extended to visiting shooters by the 
popular Louis Erhardt (Airy Lou Hart) and the committee of business 
men who assist Louis in entertaining. Never did a shoot pass off 
more smoothly ; not a kick was heard through the entire tournament. 
Every night the shooters congregated in Erhardt's store and general 
expressions of approval could be heard on all sides, The average at- 
tendance throughout the shoot was 70; largest number of entries was 
94 and smallest 54. 
"For the benefit of experts, I would say that open sweepj were go- 
ing on continually with from thirty to forty entries in each one. 
Taking last year's shoot as a basis, the tournament this year, with the 
added money and valuable prizes, the first one of the circuit (Atchi- 
son, Omaha and Joplin), and the number of people who have already 
announced their intention of attending, will entirely eclipse last year's 
shoot in every respect. 
"I would also say to the Eastern trap-shooter who has never met the 
Western boys at the trap, that he will never meet a more gentlemanly 
and courteous lot of sportsmen than the shooters from Illinois, Mis- 
souri, Kansas, Iowa and the other Western States. I would therefore 
advise all amateurs and experts who desire a good time and plenty of 
shooting to get sun and shells ready and take in the 'big circuit'— 
Atchison, Omaha and Joplin. John Parker."
