The E. C. Tournament. 
Four days, May 5-8, 1896, will scarcely be allowed to fade from the 
memory of the trap-shooter for years to come. The E. C. Powder 
Company's tournament that took place on those four days at Gutten- 
burg race track, at Guttenburg, N. J., deserves to be remembered for 
two good and sufficient reasons: First.it was up to date the largest 
affair of the kind ever held; and second, on the afternoon of May 9, for 
the first time in the history of our sport, trap-shooters cheered the in- 
animate target champion of the United States. 
As regards the size of the tournament, a reference to the list of 
entries will quickly satisfy all doubts on that point. It should be re- 
membered that tbis was no State shoot, with merchandise prizes and 
nominal entries; neither was it an amateur's tournament at popular 
prices. It was a cracker jack's tournament; nothing less than SO tar- 
gets, and no entrance fee smaller than 353. Notwithstanding these condi- 
tions, the entry list on the first three days averaged a fraction over 76 
in every event, while the four days' programme events averaged 61 
entries. During the tournament, including about 5,000 targets thrown 
on Monday in the practice events, 53,000 targets were thrown. 
The arrangement of the traps and the accommodation for the guns 
and shells of shooters was all that could be desired. The betting hall 
at the race track would make a good bicycle rink, being considerably 
larger than many buildings used for that purpose, and it was in that 
building that shooters found what was needed in the way of space 
for guns, shells, coats, hats, etc. There was plenty of elbow room 
for all. The betting hall, too, was just in rear of the four sets of 
traps (two bluerock and two empire), so shooters had not much 
ground to cover in going from one set to their shell cases and vice 
versa. Paul North was on hand to look after the working of the 
bluerock traps, while Al. Hebbard watched the empires at Nos. 3 and 
4 sets of traps. Bluerock targets were thrown from the bluerock 
traps at Nos. 1 and 2, empires, of course, being thrown from the 
empire traps at Nos. 3 and 4. 
EVERYTHING RAN SMOOTHLY. 
There is always some little trouble in getting a tournament that is 
of any size started; a certain amount of confusion is to be expected 
at the start wherever the entry list amounts to anything out of the 
ordinary run of things. With 119 shooters ready and willing to shoot, 
the management had its hands full from the start, but it took re- 
markably little time to straighten out matters, and within an hour 
of the crack of the first gun the tournament was in full swing, with 
everything running as smoothly as possible. Capt. Money and Noel 
Money were indefatigable, and filled the posts of host, manager, 
trapper boy, squad hustler, etc., in a manner that went a long way 
toward lightening the duties of managers Elmer E Shaner and Jack 
Parker. Seth Clover, as squad hustler, was never "out of sight." 
It cannot be said that an early start was made on either of the four 
mornings of the shoot. Guttenburg race track is not far from New 
York, but it required exceedingly early rising on the part of any 
shooter who was stopping in the city to enable him to eat his break- 
fast in comfort and get to Guttenburg by 9 A. M. For the above 
reason it was always 9 or a little after before a gun was fired over the 
traps, yet the programme did not suffer save on the first day, when 
rain stopped the shooting on two separate occasions, delaying the 
game for over an hour altogether. The location of the traps, too, 
may have had something to do with a little apparent slackness in the 
morning; they faced to the south of east and the light was conse- 
quently very trying in the early hours, and it may be that some of the 
shooters preferred to wait a little until the sun got around more to 
the south. 
In the cashier's box were Billy Hobart, H. M. Stevens and John B. 
Rogers; Hobart may be styled the paying teller, Mr. Stevens assistant 
paying teller, Rogers receiving teller, it being his duty to take entries 
and turn the cash over to his confreres at the other end of the 
cashier's office. The duties of these three gentlemen were decidedly 
heavy, but we think the shooters readily understood the cause of any 
Blight delay in paying off that might occur. 
FIRST DAY, MAY 5. 
Our issue of May 9 has told what were the weather conditions of 
this day. It was as hot as July, and the sun beat down with almost 
tropical fervor on the heads of the shooters at the score; but it was 
most particularly annoying to the trappers, who felt its rays very 
severely, cut off as they were from any breath of wind by the screens 
at their backs. At noon it began to cloud up a little in the West, and 
thunderheads showed here and there around the horizon. Rain in 
large drops fell for about twenty minutes, but the worst of this storm 
passed to the south of us, and shooting was again resumed. In the 
afternoon another storm came up, and this time the rain fell for about 
forty minutes, while heavy crashes of thunder spoke of a severe elec- 
trical storm somewhere in our vicinity. The main body of this sec- 
ond storm passed to the north of the race track, but what we did get 
was sufficient to knock the finishing of the programme on the head. 
It was necessary, in order to be fair to all concerned in the champion- 
ship events, that the pairs should be carried over until the second day ; 
otherwise some of the men would have had to finish their scores in a 
bad light. 
The background was a deceiving one, and the targets were thrown 
hard and far. The height at which they were thrown, too, made the 
shooting uncertain. It was first a low one and then a high one. This 
was due in many cases to the target being thrown down wind one time 
and up wind the next. Notwithstanding these features, it will be 
noticed that the averages show up well. Just 119 shooters took part 
in the first event, 123 shooters in all being on the ground during the 
day. 
As stated above, only 7 events were decided, owing to the delay 
caused by the rain. The event left out will be decided to morrow 
(May 6). The contest for the championship cup excited great interest, 
shooters, when not busy at the score, congregating in the rear of No. 
4 set of traps, where the targets under expert rule (event No. 5) were 
being shot at. Below is table giving the

SECOND DAY, MAY 6. 
A stray breeze blew across the traps at the start this morning, but 
it died away later in the day. The light was none of the best and the 
boys found it hard to locate the targets when it came to anything but 
unknown angles. The targets, too, were thrown at such variable 
heights that it was guesswork whether the next one thrown would be 
low or high. Some just skimmed the fence that bordered the track, 
while others soared aloft and, when missed, looked as if they'd never 
comedown. Of course, for the pairs they were thrown higher than 
usual, the background at the No. 4 set of traps being really hard. 
Enoch Miller found things just to his liking as he broke 52 targets out 
Of the 39 pairs shot at— a great record— breaking 25 out of each 15 
pairs. Gilbert won first alone in the 15 pairs in to-day's programme 
with 27 breaks. Fuiford took first money ia the pairs postponed from 
yesterday with 28 breaks. The championship contests will be consid- 
ered separately further on. 
There were 109 shooters on the ground to-day, the entries averag- 
ing 74.3 for the 9 events shot. Gilbert was high for the dav with 91.4 
out of 210 shot at, Fulford coming next with 90.4, Jim Elliott and 
Leroy were third with 88 5, Heikes and Hood coming next with 88. 
Hood won first money in event No. 5, expert rules, by breaking 25 
straight. Below are the

THIRD DAY, MAY 7. 
To-day saw 84 shooters taking part in the programme events on this 
day. Notwithstanding this large number (the entries averaging 6334 
for the programme events) the programme was shot out early, and a 
few extras decided as well. 
There was some great shooting done to-day, Rolla Heikes returning 
to his old form and knocking out 161 out of 170, an average of 91.7, the 
highest made so far in this tournament. His work brought him close 
up to the leaders in the championship contests, as will be seen from 
the figures given in an account of these events. Fulford ran 25 
Btraight at expert rule, while E. D. Miller kept up his gait at pairs by 
breaking 19 out of his 10 pairs, losing his twentieth bird. He took 
first money in that event. Wheeler was second to Heikes for this 
day's programme with an averaee of 92 9; Budd was third with 91 7; 
Elliott and Gilbert fourth wiih 90 5, Miller landing fifth with just 90 
per cent. Below are the

FOURTH DAY, MAY 8. 
Naturally the list of entries fell off very much to-day. Aspirants 
for championship honors had fallen by the wayside and the number 
left in the race this morning had dwindled to below 30 Still there 
was a lot of interest in the final result, the pairs being exceptionally 
exciiing. Gilbert went into shoot his 10 pairs with a bird to the 
good of Fulford ; when he had broken 17 out of his 20 there was a 
possibility of Fulford's beating him out— 18 would tie and 19 would 
win. Fulford, however, could do no better than score 13, finally tie- 
ing with Jim Elliott, the real surprise party of the crowd. As will be 
seen from the scores given below, Rolla Heikes, although not the 
winner, shot well up, landing in fourth place. 
GILBERT, THE WINNER. 
Fred Gilbert, whom Charlie Grimm has now brought twice from 
Spirit Lake, la., to take back cups to that little home of his should 
have a long career before him, as he is quite young yet, beine onlv 
about 30 years of age. Fred is quite a shot, as may be judged from 
his work during the past twelve months. In returning thanks for the 
cup he attributed his position to "luck and the rabbit foot " We ar« 
Broke.
