FORE STRAND STREAM. 
[May 9 1896. 
Added Money and Merchandise Prizes. 
Is another portion of these columns we have noted some of the con- 
tents of the programme issued by the Limited Gun Club, of Indianap- 
olis, Ind., for its second semi-annual tournament, May 26-28. We were 
unwilling, however, to pass without comment an important point 
touched upon in that programme, and, the matter being of general 
interest, we felt that it rightly belonged under a head of its own. We 
refer to the criticisms contained in the following extracts from the 
programme: 
'•The history of all reforms shows that the pioneers therein were 
for a time unpopular. Thus, when the Limited Gun Club settled— for 
itself— the vexed question of 10-gauge guns and black powder in tour- 
naments by barring both, tt was unfavorably criticised. Now those 
questions have ceased to cause trouble; our example is generally fol- 
lowed and creates no comment. The Limited Gun Club now goes on 
record as opposing the popular but pernicious practice of attracting 
a largft attendance by offering added money. 
"It Is unjust to levy upon all shooters by making on exorbitant 
charge for targets, and give the excess over a reasonable profit to the 
winners. Nor is it fair to solicit donations of cash or merchandise from 
manufacturers and dealers, the value of which must ultimately be 
paid by the shooter. The holding of tournaments by manufacturprs, 
with large added money attractions, is having a most depressing effect 
upon the energies of gun clubs. It deters many from holding tourna- 
ments, and begets a fear of failure in those which do. They cannot 
hope to offer competing attractions, and the friends from whom they 
would ordinarily receive support have been 'shot out 1 at one of these 
larger meetings, or they are saving themselves and their money for 
another one. 
"These criticisms of other people's methods are offered in the kind- 
liest spirit; their sole object is to awaken sentiment against growing 
evils which, in our judgment, were better abolished." 
"the popular, but pernicious, .practice," 
In using the word "pernicious" as above, the Limited Gun Club is 
rather jumping at conclusions. Is it an assured fact that tournaments 
with a large amount of added money do "tend to injure" trap-shoot- 
ing? Is it certain that "the holding of tournaments by manufacturers, 
with large added money attractions, is having a most depressing effect 
upon the energies of gun clubs?" 
These questions are capable of argument, and we can conceive no 
better way of arriving at a correct solution than by asking those who 
have formed opinions upon the point to give us their ideas on the sub- 
ject. There is sufficient diversity of opinion among men to make the 
discussion interesting, aDd probably instructive. We have a lurking 
suspicion that large tournaments do a certain amount of good in the 
way of booming trap-shooting. There are m»ny causes that militate 
against the success of small tournaments, and we take it that the 
least of these causes is that quoted by the Limited Gun Club in its 
programme. In the first place there is the expense attached to a 
day's shooting at targets; next, the fact that really good shots are 
very scarce and consequently there are few winners but many losers 
all the time; third, bard times that keep a man chained to business, 
preventing him from getting off for a day at the traps; fourth, and 
probably the most important of all, the presence at such events of 
one or more of the professionals who may always be looked to for a 
big score and the major part of the money. Are not these the real 
causes of trouble at small shoots? 
WHAT IS "A REASONABLE PROFIT"? 
As quoted above, the programme says: "It is unjust to levy upon 
all shooters by making an exorbitant charge for targets and give the 
excess over a reasonable profit to the winners." The question of the 
justice or injustice of charging 3 cents a target, the amount we sup- 
pose to be specified by "exorbitant charge" when adding money to the 
purses, is rather a curious one. There is just the difference of $2 a 
day to a shooter when he attends a tournament where they charge 3 
cents a target instead of 2 cents; that is of course basing the supposi- 
tion on his snooting at 200 targets during the day — a fair calculation. 
If he attends the shoot it may be taken for granted that he is willing 
to pay that extra $2, well knowing that it will be taken to make up the 
added money. Remember, he is not compelled to attend, and also 
bear in mind the fact that if he does attend he does so with both eyes 
open. If the added money amounts to any considerable quantity it 
will take pretty nearly, if not quite, all the profit over and above the 
expense of trapping targets, price of same, and running the tourna- 
ment, to come out anything like even. Take the Memphis shoot last 
yepr. The club broke just about even on the expenses of the shoot 
and the added money when balanced against the receipts for targets. 
The time devoted to getting up the shoot and the money spent by 
members of the club in entertaining its guests ought surely to count 
for something. 
Paul North, getting tired of people a«serting that his company made 
money out of its annual tournaments by the number of targets it 
threw, decided this year to put a stop to all such remarks, and has 
announced that bluerocks will be thrown free of charge at the Cleve- 
land tournament. In addition to free targets, added money will be 
given, derived from subscriptions by various manufacturing concerns 
who receive in return a certain amount of advertising in the pro- 
gramme. 
The idea of 3 cents for targets, with added money, amounts to this: 
A shooter says to himself: "The added money will draw the boys and 
there'll be a good shoot. I think I'll go and try for some of that 
added money myself." There are lots of others who say the same 
thing, and the consequence is the shoot is a success in point of num- 
bers at least. 
Now, take the 2-cents-a-target shoot Cand here's where the draw- 
back of added money tournaments may come in): The inducements 
are small, the attendance bound to be small because it is limited 
naturally to shooters from the immediate vicinity; one or two local 
crackerjacka are present and swallow up the best parts of the 
purses. Is it to be wondered at that such tournaments never have a 
large entry list? 
Looked at from a dollars-and-cents point of view, there is really 
more cash benefit to a club from a 2-cents-a-target-no-added-money 
tournament than from one at which 3 cents are charged for targets 
and a considerable amount of money divided. Where a club has its 
g rounds and traps so arranged that shooting can be had without 
much additional outlay in preparing for a tournament, it is positively 
certain that a fraction over 1 cent apiece for targets will clear the club 
from all loss— provided there is an average entry of from twelve to 
ighteen shooters. The balance goes into the club's coffers. 
WHO PAYS FOR MERCHANDISE PRIZES? 
Another quotation from the programme must be made: "Nor is it 
fair to solicit donations of cash or merchandise from manufacturers 
and dealers, the value of which must ultimately be paid by the 
hooter." We might grant for the sake of argument that the club is 
right in its premises, but we must say it seems to us that it is wrong 
in its deduction. It is quite within the bounds of possibility that the 
manufacturer or dealer, when making his donation, does hope ulti- 
mately to receive his pay out of the pockets of the shooters; does he 
not do so when he advertises his goods in the pages of Forest and 
Stream? It may not be fair to manufacturers and dealers to solicit 
such donations, and it may be infra dig. for a club to put itself on the 
basis of a pauper, but we cannot see that there is anything unfair to 
the shooter in offering merchandise prizes that may have been volun- 
tarily offered by manufacturers and dealers who hope by such dona- 
tions to reap the benefit of increased sales, i. e., to get their pay out 
of the shooters' pockets ultimately. 
CRITICISMS MADE IN A KINDLY SPIRIT. 
When closing its introductory matter it will be noted that the club 
says: "These criticisms of other people's methods are offered in the 
kindliest spirit; their sole object is to awaken sentiment against grow- 
i ng evils which, in our judgment, were belter abolished." Such 
being the spirit of the Limited Gun Club, we cannot do better than 
echo its sentiments when presenting our criticisms upon its asser- 
tions. The Limited Gun Club has always stood up for the purity of 
the trap, and the wording of the introductory matter in the pro- 
gramme above quoted shows that its officers have not departed one 
whit from the path it has always followed. 
20. All events were at unknown angles, and the trappers did their 
best to keep scores down by lining the targets up and down the screen. 
As is customary, too, when there is a small but genial crowd, there 
was a pood deal of jollying that played havoc with the percentages, 
but added much to the enjoyment of those taking part in the events.

The Opening of the E, C. Tournament. 
PRELIMINARY PRACTICE AUGURS WELL. 
Guttbnburg, N. J., May 4.— Although the real business of the E. C. 
tournament does not commence until to-morrow, the attendance at 
the preliminary practice to-day tells plainly that we are going to have 
a big, big shoot. The weather is everything one could wish for, and if 
this tournament is Dot a success it will not,' so far as can be seen now, 
be on account of bad weather conditions. It is like summer out here, 
and the shade of the grand stand Is most grateful and comforting. 
It is really impossible at present to give any accurate estimate of the 
probable number of entries in Event No. 1 to-morrow, but it looks as 
if the 100 mark will be very Dearly erased. With such a lengthy pro- 
gramme ahead of them, very few attempted to do more than shoot in 
a few of the 10 events decided to-day. With only 12 entries in No. 1 
and 8 in No. 10, the average for the 10 events crept up to the total of 
21. All styles of shooting were tried— pairs, expert rule and unknown 
angles. This shows how the boys are working to try for the cham- 
pionship. 
The winners in the ten events shot are given below: 
No. 1, 15 targets, 12 entries: Byer, Leroy, Dickey and Budd, 15; 
Worthen, Trimble and Upson, 14. 
No. 2, 15 targets, 18 entries: Gilbert 14, Byer, Glover, Collins and 
Fulford, 13. 
No. 3, 15 pairs, 20 entries: Upson and Tippy, 24; Gilbert and Budd, 
23; Wagner, Dickey and Trimble, 22; Merrill 21, 
No. 4, 15 tare-ets, 30 entries: Merrill, Wheeler, Fulford, Barrett 
and Hood, 15; Upson, Glover, Connor, Puck, Gilbert, Budd, Byer and 
Collins, 14. 
No. 5, 20 targets, 30 entries: Leroy, Fulford and Dickey, 20; Bart- 
lett, CoDnor, Byer, Gilbert and Sickley, 18. 
No. 0, 12 pairs, 22 entries: Leroy and Dickey, 20; Grimm, Hood, Gil- 
bert and Redwing. 19; Upson and Fulford, 18. 
No. 7, 20 targets, expert rules, 26 entries: Gilbert 20, Leroy 19, Bart- 
lett and Redwing, 18. 
No 8, 20 targnts, 28 entries: Dickey and Leroy, 20; Hood, Apgar 
and Easton, 19; Capt. Money, Grimm, Wheeler, Fulford, Claridge, Red- 
wing and Sickley, 18. 
No. 9, 20 targets, 21 entries: Wheeler and Dickey, 20; Fulford, Ken- 
erson, Gilbert, Sickley and EastoD. 19. 
No. 10, 20 targets, expert rules, S entries: Budd, Upson and Dickey, 
17; Easton and Schorty, 16. 
From the above it will be gathered that the prospects for a great 
shoot are very promising. 
THE OPENING DAY, MAY 5. 
If a good, hot sun with a clear sky is desirable, we have it here this 
morning. The glare is trying in the early hours, the traps facing 
slightly to the south of east. However, by 9:80 o'clock, the hour at 
which the shoot really commenced, the sun was away up in the sky 
and considerably to the south, so that it was not as bad as might be 
imagined. 
The shooters come from all over. The South in well represented, the 
East has many shooters here, and the West looms up big with a large 
contingent that contains within its elements several possibilities for 
championship honors. While the contest for the world's champion- 
ship at inanimate targets is the prevailing topic of conversation, and 
while plenty of guesses are hazarded as to who may be the winDer, 
everybody is agreed that it is a very open question, with every proba- 
bility of a very pretty race. 
THE MANAGEMENT. 
In the cashier's office were W. R. Hobart, John B. Rogers, of-New- 
burgh, N. Y., and H. M. Stevens, of the American E. C. Powder Com- 
pany. A. P. Pope, of Clean, N. Y., also aided in running the cashier's 
department. Seth-Clover as squad hustler seems to be the right man 
in the right place — he knows everybody, and everybody knows him, 
and the hotter the weather is the more his chest expands, adding to 
his lung power considerably. Managers Shaner and Parker, of course, 
had considerable work to get things started, but by noon everything 
was running*as smoothly as could be desired. Paul North looked 
after the blue rock traps and targets, Al. and C. C. Hebbard looking 
after the empire traps and targets. 
Shooters began to arrive at an early hour, among the number 
being many new faces, men who did not show up yesterday. With 
such a number on the grounds it is impossible to do more than men- 
tion a few: Heikes, Connor (of Knoxville), Jim Elliott, W. C. Collins 
f"Du Pont" Collins), Parmalee, Loomis, Col Anthony, B. C. Worthen, 
Biliy Wagner; Taylor, Wood and Stanbrough, of Newburgh, N. Y., 
and a whole lot of others, including, of course, those who shot here 
yesterday. 
A LARGE ENTRY IN NO. 1. 
Event No. 1, which commeuced at 9:30, had the large number of 117 
entries at 1 o'clock, with an outlook for 125 before the day Is over. 
From that fact can be judged the chances for a big shoot. New Jer- 
sey is showing up well, while local New York has several representa- 
tives, but still not as many as one could have hoped for. 
Of course we'll say something next week. Edward Banks. 
Oritani Defeats Princeton. 
Hackensack, N. J., May 2.— The Oritani Field Club team defeated 
the Princeton University team to-day In a match under Inter-Collegiate 
rules, at 30 targets par man, unknown angles. A series of sweeps 
under A. S. A. rules at 10 targets was also shot. The scores follow:

THE ELIZABETH BI-MONTHLY. 
April 89.— The seventh bi-monthly tournament of the Elizabeth Gun 
Club was not the success that previous similar gatherings of this club 
have been. The cause was not hard to find. The plethora of shooting 
fixtures for this part of the country for the past few weeks, the New- 
burgh tournament on the last three days of this week, and the E. O. 
tournament which will be in session aliDext week at the Guttenburg 
race track; all these had a depressing effect on the attendance at the 
Elizabeth bi-monthly. When only 8 shooters put in an appearance 
there must be some very strong counter attractions, and, in our opln- 
on, the above is a strong list for any shoot to buck up against. 
On the first day the programme was not carried out, events being 
shot to suit the few who were present. These events were mostly 
small team matches, the losing team to pay for the targets, and an 
optional sweep shot in connection with these races added enough 
spice to keep the boys shooting until every shell on the ground was 
emptied. Among those present was J. H. Robbins, of Chicago, now 
on a visit to the East for business purposes. With such a small att- 
endance it was only natural that insufficient justice was done to Nate 
Astfalk's generous catering. Nate did not distinguish hloaaelf alone 
» the catering line,. but with his gun he did hPns^lf and his club 
rottd by breaking 3() straight, following it up with, 19 out of big next 
Western Traps. 
LIMITED GUN CLUB. 
Chicago, 111., May 2.— The Limited Gun Cub, of Indianapolis, put" 
out a pretty programme for its shoot. May 26-'-8. As usual, this club 
takes positions of its own, without much consultation of the methods 
of otherB. It has been plucky in the past in this way, and has had 
mention at different times in this regard. This year its programme 
says that it goes on record as opposed to the "popular but perniciouB 
practice of attracting a large attendance by offering added money." 
It goes on to mention several of the natural consequences of the prac- 
tice, stating that the holding of some of these big shoots is "having a 
depressing effect on the gun clubs," etc., etc. I fear one would get 
himself disliked among the shooters if he raised his voice for a meas- 
ure cutting off any of their income, but the funny thing about this is, 
all the shooters know that what this programme says is true, and 
sometimes in bursts of confidence they admit to each other that it is 
true. It is an easy inference that a sport which has to pay itself to 
hold itself together is not in a natural or healthy condition, and that 
some day its high-blown bubble is going to take a break unto itself. 
But to say thiB outright would be to evoke criticism as a croaker. 
The only thing to do is to let the natural bent of things determine the 
issue, and meantime to make all the hay possible while the Bun shines. 
There is so much money invested iu this sun tba.t it is apt to shine for 
quite a while yet, even though it is only an artificial luminary. 
The Limited Gun Club Btates that it "offers its criticisms of other 
people's methods in the kindliest spirit." And it goes on to show some 
attractions for those who would like to go to a quiet and pleasant 
affair, where sport and not money is the leading object. Nobody 
barred, but experts are handicapped. The new grounds are very 
handsome. Royal Robinson, secretary, will tell all about these things 
to inquirers. 
oan't come. 
Mr. O. C. Guessaz, of San Antonio, Tex., who was announced as one 
of the Texas party coming to the Northern shooting circuit, writes 
me to-day that it will be impossible for him to get away at this time,

I send you a summary of our tournament to be held at Hackensack, 
N. J., May 15 and 16: 
We have ten events on the programme for each day. We intend, if 
time -will permit, to arrange others, for which special prizes of Hazard 
powder, loaded shells, jewelry, etc., will be offered. If there should 
not be time for these they will be shot for on Monday, May 18. 
Thursday, May 14, will be davoted to practice shoots, and birds will 
be thrown at 1 cent each. In the sweep i 2 cents will be deducted. 
We will use empire targets only, and A. S. A. rules will govern. Black 
powder and 10-gauge guns debarred. Everybody welcome. Shooting 
begins promptly at 9:30 A. M. Moneys will be divided according to the 
point system, which we believe to be the most equitable method yet 
introduced. We have made arrangements with the Morton House 
whereby our friends will be accorded the best of service and accom- 
modations at reasonable rates. 
Those intending to come to Hackensack will And In our programme 
announcement of train time tables of both the New York, Susque- 
hanna & Western and the New Jersey & New York railroads. 
The committee in charge have announced that $5 will be added in 
several events, and in a very few no added money is announced. We 
would like to say through Forest and Stream that we are in hopes of 
offering $10 in each event, but of this we are not certain. Everything 
will be done to give the shooterB a good time and to treat them so that 
they will yearn to see Hackensack again when another tournament 
comes aronnd. Mr. John R, Banta, secretary, or Thomas Bell, chair-
