Programmes for Forthcoming Tournaments. 
Wst have been unable for tbe past two weeks to do mucb in the line 
of noticing programmes of tournaments that are booked for the near 
future; the demand for space in the columns of our issues of March 21 
and 28, due to the great show at the Sportsman's Exposition in Madi- 
sod Square Garden, and the Grand American Handicap at Elkwood 
Park, necessarily crowded to the wall matter that could be held over 
for a week or so. Among the matter thus held over were the pro- 
grammes for the Hazard Powder Company's tournament at Cincin- 
nati, O., May 19-22; Lou Erhardt's tournament at Atchison, Kan., 
April 14-17, and the Interstate Association's tournament at Birming- 
ham, Ala., April 29-80. Taking them in order of date, the first would 
be the programme for 
LOU ERHARDT'S BIG SHOOT AT ATCHISON. 
At this tournament, the title of which is "The Second Manufac- 
turers' Amateur and Thirteenth Open-to-all Tournament," 8960 in cash 
will be added to the purses; in addition to this there will also be 12 first 
prizes of the actual value of $440, making a grand total of cash and 
merchandise of $1,440. The E. C. Powder Company has also given a 
silver cup for competition at this shoot. 
The "open to all" programme for each day is the same: 4 events of 
20 targets each, unknown angles, $2 entrance, $25 added to each purse. 
The "amateur" programme is decidedly varied and really needs a close 
perusal to understand it properly. Each day there are 4 events of 20 
targets each, known traps and angles, tbe entrance In each event 
being $1, In each of these events the 2d, 3d and 4th prizes are of 
uniform value, $15, $10 and $5 respectively, The first prize in each 
of the events Nos. 2, 6, 10 and 14 is $20 in cash; in fell the other events 
the first prizes are guns that list from $80 and $75 down to $25 and $20. 
The E. 0. cup will be shot for on Wednesday afternoon, April 15, the 
conditions being 80 targets, known traps and angles, entrance $1, 
with an optional sweep of $1, the sweep being divided into 4 moneys. 
The "rules and regulations" state, inter alia, that there will be two 
sets of bluerock traps and two sets of empire traps kept busy all the 
time throwing respectively bluerock and empire targets. Of course, 
as soon as the programme is finished extra events will be run off to 
suit shooters. There is one item in these rules and regulations that 
Lou Erhardt emphasizes in full-faced type: "We are going to have a 
dead square shoot." His tournaments in the past are guarantee suf- 
ficient that what h« says he will do. He will be assisted in carrying 
out his intentions by the manager of the shoot, Jack Parker, of De- 
troit, Mich. A fare and a third rate has been obtained on all railroads 
in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri. 
BiJBides aiming at having "a dead square shoot," Erhardt is after 
his 1895 record: Highest number of entries, Nos. 6, 7 and 8, 94 each; 
lowest number of entries, Nos. 14, 16 and 17, 54 each; average for the 
seventeen events on the programme, 70 entries. 
THE BIRMINGHAM TOURNAMENT. 
The Birmingham, Ala. s Rod and Gun Club, under whose auspices 
the Interstate will give its tournament in that city on April 29-30, has 
decided that all the eveDts shall be shot under the system used at all 
the Interstate tournaments in 1895, that is, shooters will be classified 
according to the plan set forth in the programme as follows: 
"Shooters will be classified from the records they have made at 
their home clubs, or from the best information obtainable, into two 
classes- expert and amateur. That class of shooters whose usual 
averages rank them as experts will constitute the expert class 
"Shooters who are classified as experts must at all times shoot in 
accordance with tbe expert rule— which is targets from 5 unknown 
traps, known angles, rapid firing system. Shooters who are classified 
as amateurs must shoot at targets from known trap, unknown 
angles. Any shooter in the amateur class who wins or divides first 
money must shoot in the next event which he enters in the expert 
class; if in this event he fails to win or divide first or second money, 
he will fall back to known trap, unknown angles, in the next event he 
shoots in, and so continue to be graded. Shooters classified as ex- 
perts do not receive the benefit of the sliding scale." 
The programme of events is the same for each day: Nine events of 
15 targets each, entrance $2, and one event of 20 targets, entrance 
$2.50; $10 in cash is added to each purse by the Birmingham Rod and 
Gun Club, making a total of $200 added money. The price of targets 
is included in the entrance moneys. The grounds of the club are 
favorably located and can be easily reached by electric cars that run 
every twenty minutes. The Morris Hotel will be headquarters for 
shooters during the tournament. For all further information address 
Henry S. Going, secretary of the club, Birmingham, Ala. 
THE HAZARD TOURNAMENT AT CINCINNATI. 
The Hazard Smokeless Powder tournament for amateurs and ex> 
perts, which will be held at Cincinnati, O., May 19-22, will be the third 
tournament on the circuit for 1896. It immediately follows the Mem- 
phis shoot, which occupies the six days of May 11-16 inclusive, and 
like that shoot it offers the enormous attraction to shooters of $2 000 
in cash prizes. This shoot, as was the Du Pont shoot of 1895, will be 
under the management of R. S. Waddell;,it is no mere flattery of that 
gentleman to add that if he keeps up the high standard he attained in 
his management of last year's shoot the Hazard tournament of 1896 
will be long remembered by those fortunate enough to be able to spare 
time and money to take part in it. 
Tbe programme issued by the company for its tournament combines 
the qualities of a history of the origin and growth of the Hazard pow- 
der works at Hazardville, Hartford county, Conn., and a programme 
of events to be shot at a four days' tournament. Another quality it 
possesses is one that is rather unusual in this style of literature: It is 
in no small degree a pamphlet of apt quotations, the best of which 
perhaps will be found at the foot of page 17: "Put money in thy 
purse." 
There is so much matter in this programme that requires close at- 
tention on the part of shooters who may wish to take part in the tour 
nament, that it has been thought better to reproduce fully Mr. Wad 
dell's description of how this shoot will be run. There will be two 
sets of traps, A and B; at the A set shooters will shoot at unknown 
angles, and at fairly difficult flights of targets within the limits of the 
A, S. A. rules. At the B set all events will be at known traps and 
angles; this set of traps will be used solely by amateurs. In the mat- 
ter of classification Mr, Waddell says: 
"All contestants who have under their own or assumed names at 
any tournament held in this country during the fifteen months pre- 
ceding this tournament, made an average of 85 per cent, of the arti- 
ficial targets shot at, and whose record of such percentage has been 
published in American Field, Forest and Stream, Shooting and Fish- 
ing or Sporting Life, will be limited in all contests at this tournament 
to the use of A set of traps. All contestants who have not made a 
published record, during the time stated, of 85 per cent, of the arti- 
ficial targets shot at will, until he or they have an average of 85 per 
cent, or better either in the Hazard prize events or the total events in 
which he may participate either day, be permitted to shoot 'at B set 
of traps. 
"Any contestant at B set of traps who, on either the first or second 
days makes an average of 85 per cent, or better in the Hazard prize 
events or in the total of all the targets shot at, will be limited to the 
use of A the following day. Any contestant who makes an average of 
85 per cent, or over at B traps the first day and in shooting at A traps 
the second day falls below 80 per cent., may return and eontest at B 
set of traps the third day of this tournament. The control of the 
traps and the regulation or angles, speed and flight of targets will be 
enurely under the control of the manager, and it Is hoped by this 
means to equalize the expert and amateur classes so far as prac- 
ticable. 
"Excepting the above conditions, all contestants will enter, shoot 
and divide purses in the same events as though a single set of traps 
were used." 
The next page of the programme tells just how the $2,000 in cash 
and prizes (the latter of the value of $100) will be divided, the whole 
making a generous list that is bound to attract shooters. A summary 
of the list may be made as follows: 
Added money in events, $3.50 per day , , , $1 050 
Daily averages, $50 per day , , " ' 15 q 
Hazard averages, cash, $100 | 
prizes, $100 f 500 
General averages 250 
To those using Hazard Smokeless, pro-rated ,...,>."!!! 50 
Total $3,000 
Under the head of "Important Items" comes the following: "Ten- 
gauge guns and black powder barred. There will be a good roof over 
the scores for the 12-gauge guns. Contestants using smaller gauges 
will shoot in separate squads. Bluerock traps and targets will be 
used. Emery Hotel will be headquarters for shooters. Loaded shells 
and guns can be forwarded to the Hazard Powder Co., First National 
Bank Building, Cincinnati, O." 
Tuesday, May 19, Is called "Preparation Day." On this date there 
will be two sets of traps in readiness at 9 A. M. At the A set there 
will be shot a programme of 12 events, 15 targets each, entrance $1 
targets included, 4 moneys. At the B set 12 events of 10 targets each 
for practice. The programme adds: "This is your opportunity to try 
Hazard Smokeless." 
The programme is the same for each day: Four 15-target events $2 
entrance, $30 added: three 20-target events, $2 50, $40 added : two 25- 
target events, Nos. 3 and 5, "Hazard Prize events," $3 entrance, $55 
added. In regard to these Hazard events the programme gives the 
following instructions: "Contestants in events Nos. 3 and 5 each day 
will be required to use shells loaded with Hazard Smokeless powder 
only, and to go to the score in each of these events with boxes bearing 
the special Beal of 'The Hazard Powder Co.' Parties wishing to Bup 
ply their own shells for these events must ship them to R. S. Waddell, 
manager, for examination, marking and sealing, on or before May 10, 
1896. The use of other ammunition will bar the contestants from 
sharing the purses and prizes in these events " 
The following, also from the programme, is Important: "The Cin- 
cinnati May Musical Festival opens In this city May 19, 1896, and con- 
tinues during the week; this is the date our tournament begins. The 
railroads generally make a half fare rate from points within 200 miles 
of the city and reduced rates from more remote points. These rates 
have not been named, but we request that all who expect to attend 
the Hazard Smokeless Powder tournament wute R. S Waddell, man- 
ager, after May 1, when a circular giving full 'information regarding 
rates will be mailed to each correspondent." 
The closing feature of an interesting programme appears on page 
39: A pair of old boots (the illustration shows them to be in poor re- 
pair) is offered by the management for "the most accomplished 
kicker, the first recognition of his valuable services at a tournament— 
with the compliments of the manager." 
Before completing our review of this progrnmme, we wish to call the 
attention of all shooters to the following, which appears on the above 
page: "Nobody barred. This is a square race. No dropping for 
place will be tolerated." 
PEEKSKILL GUN CLUB. 
The Peekskill (N. Y.) Gun Club has issued its programme for the 
tournament it proposes to hold on it« grounds on April 15-17. The 
Peekskill club holds a record for an 8-men team, 25 targets per man, 
known trapB and angles; on Aug. 20, 1894. the club's team shot a 
match with the Marlborough (N. Y.) Gun Club under the above con- 
ditions, and succeeded in establishing the record of 193 out of the 200 
shot at— an average 96.5 per cent.— each member of the team using 
Walsrode powder. Of this record the club is deservedly proud; it is 
without question a record that will stand for a long time. 
The first two days of its coming tournament will be devoted to 
events at empire targets. The first day's programme calls for 195 
targets, at a uniform entrance of 10 cents per target. It opens with a 
10-target event; No. 2 is at 15 targets; then come five 20-target events, 
followed by two 25-target events; No. 10 is at 10 pairs. The second day's 
programme contains 11 events and calls for 195 targets, plus a team 
shoot of 6 men to a team, 25 targets p a r man, any 6 men to constitute a 
team. Under 12 entries, 8 moneys; over 12, 4 moneys. In no case will 
an entry be accepted in any event after the first squad in that event 
has shot out. This is an excellent rule and will be strictly adhered to. 
Interstate Association rules will govern all events, both live-bird and 
target. Black powder is barred. Shooters at the score are protected 
from the weather, rain or shine. 
The live-bird programme for the third day, Friday, April 17, con- 
sists of three events: No. 1, 5 birds, $5; No. 2, 7 birds, $7; No. 3, 15 
birds, $10; birds extra in this event, which is a handicap race. Orrin 
J. Loder, secretary of the club, is the man to write to for further in- 
formation. 
THE B1NGHAMTON TOURNAMENT. 
The Binghamton, N. Y., Gun Club, one of the many progressive gun 
clubs that claim New York State as their home, has arranged an at- 
tractive tournament for May 26-28. While the club does not add any 
money, it has drawn up a programme that in these days must com- 
mand the attention of all shooters. There is a novelty about it and a 
boldness in cutting loose from old traditions that pleases us very 
much. It is true, the entrance fees are high in comparison to those 
that usually find their place in programmes of tournaments, but there 
is a compensation that must be borne in mind when figuring on the 
probable result of an individual's effort: All the purses are divided 
under the " straight-out " or "Rose" system. Under this system, 
one which we have often quoted as being absolutely fair and a positive 
bar to all dropping, pooling or combining, each man who gets a place 
receives his pro rata share, no matter how many men there may be in 
the same hole with him. The Binghamton shooters have tried this 
system in their home shoots and like it so well that they are going to 
give their visitors a taste of its sweets at this tournament. 
The first day's programme consists of ten events, eight at 15 tar- 
gets, $2 entrance, and two at 20 targets, $3 entrance; targets extra at 
2 cents each. On the second day there are four 15-target events of a 
similar character to those above mentioned, and a 100-target handicap 
event, entrance the price of the targets, the prize being a silver cup 
presented by the American E. C. Powder Co. This event will be di- 
vided into four events of 25 targets each, with an optional sweep of 
$3 on each 25 targets. The conditions will be unknown angles, extra 
targets being awarded the shooters in such proportion as the handi- 
cap committee shall deem fit. All purses in the target events will be 
divided into four moneys. 
The third day's programme is made up of three live-bird events: No 
1 is at 5 birds, $5, birds included, 3 moneys, class shooting, 28yds 
everybody; No. 2, 7 birds, $7, birds included, 4 high guns, 28yds. every- 
body; No. 3, 15 live birds, $15, birds extra, handicaps 25 to 33yds., class 
shooting, 4 moneys The above completes the programme. 
The Arlington Hotel will be headquarters for shooters, and all guns, 
shells, etc., shipped in care of the hotel will be delivered at the grounds 
free of charge. Electric cars run past, the hotel door every fifteen 
minutes, making the trip to the grounds in twelve minutes. The shoot 
will take plsce rain or shine, as shooters at the score will be well pro- 
tected from the weather. The grounds will be open for practice on 
May 25. H. W. Brown, of Binghamton, will answer all communica- 
tions in regard to the above tournament.

Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, Mass., April 1.— Once again a beautiful day greeted sixteen 
shooters at the Boston Gun Club, Wellington, Mass., this afternoon. 
Some new faces were noted, among fhem being Messrs. Milt. F. 
Lindsley and Geo. G. King, of the King's Powder Co., Cincinnati, O., 
who seemed to thoroughly enjoy the different moneyless events 
along.with the rest of the company. This rampant notion that money 
is necessary to secure interest and sport is shown on these grounds to 
be a very great mistake. Just as much rivalry exists, though to tell 
the truth under these circumstances it is always of the good-natured 
variety, and compares very favorably with that where the gambling 
element is considered to be the principal means of enhancing the 
sport. Scores:
