Coming Events and their Shadows. 
The list of important fixtures for the month of June has caused us 
many a moment of anxiety. Ordinarily we think it worse than bad 
policy to borrow trouble, believing that bald heads and snowy locks 
may sometimes be traced to that failing. 
The first week of June caused us little trouble. The twenty-second 
annual tournament of the Illinois State Sportsmen's Association at 
Chicago will be well taken care of The Interstate tournament at 
Natchez, Miss., under the auspices of the Gaillard Sporting Club, will 
also be reported by a correspondent who is perfectly satisfactory. 
In our own immediate vicinity everything is quiet; there's no trouble 
here. 
The second week is where the mischief comes in. Here's the list: 
June 8-13.— Buffalo, N. Y.— New YorkStateshoot, under the auspieeB 
of the Buffalo Audubon Club; $3,000 in merchandise prizes in State and 
open events; $1,100 of cash added to purses. Ex oerts eligible to first 
and second moneys only. O. S. Burkhardt, President. 
June 9-11.— Davenport, la.— Annual tournament of the Iowa State 
Sportsmen's Association. R B. Cook, Sec'y. 
June 9-11.— Dayton, O.— Annual tournament of the Ohio Trap- 
Shooters' League. Ed. Taylor, Sec'y. 
June 9-11. —Urbana. 111.— Annual tournament of the Crystal Lake 
Gun Club, for amateurs only. Targets. Frank L. Bills, Manager. 
June 10-11.— Fargo, N. D.— Second annual tournament of the North 
Dakota State Sportsmen's Association; targets; £500 added money. 
W. W. Smith, Sec'y. 
The following week contains two important fixtures: 
June 17-19 —Cleveland, O —Third annual tournament of the Cham- 
berlin Cartridge and Target Company. Targets thrown free; £770 in 
cash also added to the purses. 
June 18-20.— Spokane, Wash.— Twelfth annual tournament of the 
Sportsman's Association of the Northwest, under the auspices of the 
Spokane Rod and Gun Club; H. Bolster, Sec'y. 
The tournament of the Pittsburg, Pa., Gun Club, $500 added money, 
takes place the fourth week of June. 
Among the many programmes received recently is that issued by 
the Audubon Gun Club, of Buffalo, for the 
NEW YORK STATE SHOOT, 
which event will be held, as stated above, June 8-13. The programme 
for this important fixture is one that has taken considerable care in 
compilation, and reflects the greatest credit on the management. 
When the convention of 1895 voted to intrust the thirty-eighth annual 
tournament to the Audubon Gun Club, of Buffalo, the gentlemen rep- 
resenting that organization at Saratoga stated positively that the club 
would do its best to make the State shoot of 1898 a record breaker in 
its line. The announcement, therefore, that the club would add $3,000 
in merchandise prizes and $1,100 in cash, while in itself remarkable, 
was not totally unexpected when one took into consideration the 
number and quality of the men who go to make up the membership 
roll of the Audubon Gun Club'. 
At this late date, and with so much other equally important matter 
engrossing the attention of trap-shooters, it is impossible to do more 
than notice superficially the contents of a work that consists of 64 
pages besides the cover. 
The most important portion of the programme is that which refers 
i to the 
KNOWN EXPERTS, OR PROFESSIONALS. 
The programme states that "every known expert or professional 
Bhooter must get into first or second place, or he will not be entitled 
to any part of the money. This form of handicap absolutely prevents 
dropping for place. This rule guarantees to amateurs that they will 
get over one-half of all purses, as experts cannot drop into their class, 
and every time an-amateur shoots up he gets a part of the experts' 
en d of the purse. ' ' 
In connection with the above statement we have received the follow- 
ing communication from the Audubon Gun Club, through its presi- 
dent, C. S. Burkhardt: "The handicap committee of the New York 
State shoot, to be held at Buffalo June 8-13, 1896, have classed the fol- 
lowing gentlemen as experts: R. O. Heikea, Fred Gilbert, J. A. R. 
Elliott, E. D. Fulford, Sim Glover, O. R Dickey, J. L. Brewer, B. A. 
Bartlett, F. Van Dyke. Ralph iTimble, C. M. Grimm, E. D. Miller, Neaf 
Apgar, B. LeRoy, Ralph Worthington, D. A. Upson, W. Wagner, 
C. W. Budd, H. McMurchy, H. B. Whitney, A. G. Courtney, 
John Parker, Ed Rike. C. A. Young, J. W. Connor, Thomas Marshall, 
W. G Sergeant, F. S. Parmelee. The committee wishes to add a few 
words of explanation to experts: The large amount of added money 
and the daily and general averages will fully compensate you for the 
reasonable handicap imposed on you." 
The list of State events is a large one and should prove very at- 
tractive. But in addition to the State events a full programme of 7 
open events will also be decided each day. All these events, except 
No. 5, will be at 20 targets, $3.50 entrance; $15 is added to the purses 
in Nos. 1, 2, 4 and 7; No. 5 each day is a special event. On Tuesday, 
June 9, it is known as the Gold Dust event, all contestants using Gold 
Dust powder loaded and provided by W. L. Colville (Dick Swiveller); 
entrance in ihis event is only $2, including price of shells and targets, 
while the prizes offered by Mr. Colville aggregate about $100. 
On Wednesday. June 10. event No. 5 is the E. C. Powder Co.'s cup 
contest; entrance, including targets, $3; $50 cash aDd the cup added. 
On Thursday, June 11, this event is entitled the Daily and Sunday 
Times event, the Times adding $125 cash to the purse; entrance, tar- 
gets included, $3. On Friday, June 12, event No. 5 will be.the Buffalo 
Audubon Club event. This contest will be a haudicap event with 8 
very valuable merchandise prizes; the handicaps in this contest will 
be based on the work of the shooters during the week. The entrance 
fee is $5, with an additional optional sweep of $5, 8 moneys 
Saturday. June 13, will be devoted to the decision of the Dean Rich- 
mond championship cup team contest at live birds. 
OHIO TRAP-SHOOTERS' LEAGUE. 
The tenth annual tournament of the Ohio Trap-Shooters' League- 
will be held at Dayton, O., the home of the Buckeye Gun Club, on 
June 9-11. The Buckeyes add $200 to the purses. 
On the first day the State "events consist of six 15-target events, 
$1 50, $10 added to each purse; one 20-target event, $2. $15 added; and 
the special contest, event No. 8, for the Ohio State Journal trophy. 
On the second day the programme is the same, with the exception 
that event No. 8 is the contest for the L. C. Smith cup. On the third 
and last day the programme of State events is as follows: The first 
five events will be 15-target events precisely similar in every respect 
to those on the two previous days; No. 6 will be the contest for Sports- 
men's Review cup, two-men teams; No. 7 will be the 50-target nandi- 
cap for the E. C. Powder Co.'s cup. 
The programme of open events for each day is ten 15-target events, 
unknown angles, $1.50 entrance. 
CRYSTAL IAKK GUN CLUB. 
Frank L. Bills, manager of the Crystal Lake Gun Club, of TJrbana, 
HI., has gotten up a very varied programme for the tbird annual tour- 
nament of his club, which will be held June 9-11. This tournament is 
open to amateurs only, and Mr. Bills has naturally catered to this 
class of shooters, there being several 10 and 15 target events on the 
card for each day. The merchandise prizes announced to be given 
away are really valuable aad well worth trying for. The Crystal 
Lake Gun Club issues a cordial invitation to all amateurs. 
sportsman's association of the northwest. 
The programme for the twelfth annual tournament of theSDorts- 
man's Association of the Northwest, which takes place June 18-20, at 
Spokane, Wash., announces that $700 cash, $483 in merchandise prizes 
and $925 in trophies will be distributed at that shoot. The above is a 
large list of valuable prizes and speaks well for the interest shown in 
the far Northwest for the sport of trap-shooting. 
The Spokane Rod and Gun Club, under whose auspices the tourna- 
ment will be held, offers a welcome on behalf of the Sportsman's As- 
sociation to Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and British Colum- 
bia. The club adds, We promise you a dead square shoot and may the 
best man win." 
The Limited Gun Club's Tournament. 
Indianapolis, Ind , May 28. — It was the writer's good fortune to be 
present at the 1896 tournament of the Limited Gun Club, of this city. 
The dates were May 26, 27 and 28. No tournament of a like magni- 
tude has attracted such general attention, and the reBult of few has 
been more eagerly looked for. The club announced in its programme 
that there would be no added money at thi3 shoot, and stated fur- 
thermore that it thought that added monev was an injury to the 
pport. It said that at this tournament it would endeavor to demon- 
strate that it was possible to have a successful tournament without 
added money. The only inducements the club offered, and which 
it has great cause to pride itself on, were its grounds and equipments, 
which are without doubt the finest in the West. 
Twenty minutes' ride from the heart of the city by an electric car 
lands the shooter right at the gate of the park. There he finds one 
of the neatest, cosiest little club houses that has ever been designed. 
It is a story and a half structure, painted white, with a broad veran- 
da extending around the entire building, and another smaller one 
above, from which an excellent view can be had of the shooting. 
The grounds in front of the club house are perfectly level and no 
Ign of a screen is to be seen. The way the traps are arranged here is 
jntirely different from that found anywhere. The targets seem to 
■start right out of the ground. This idea is entirely original with the 
■Limited Gun Club and is well worth imitating. The trench in which 
■the trappers stand is deep enough so that a tall man can stand up in 
lit and yet be invisible to the shooter at the score. The traps are fas- 
tened to heavy timber right on the edge of the trench, the ground in 
ront having been slightly cut away, and the traps are at such a 
height that the trappar finds his work much easier than behind the 
Bcreen. All the above has been so deftly done that no sign of the 
work is noticed by the shooter at .the score; the only thing he sees is 
the numbers on the sward, showing him where his target is to start 
from. It is no little advantage to be able to see one's target the in- 
stant it starts; under these conditions it is easier to make a good 
score than when hampered by screens and other devices. 
The attendance was not large, though entirely satisfactory to the 
management. Royal Robinson said that he would much rather have 
forty shooters than a hundred, as they are much easier to handle. 
The shoot was one that was as smoothly and nicely conducted as it 
has been my good fortune to attend. Altogether it reflects much 
credit on Mr. Royal Robinson and his fellow club members. 
The programme called for three days of shooting, and for two days 
the entries were entirely satisfactory to the management; but on the 
third day v»ry little shooting was done, none but the club members 
taking part, and then all kinds of sweeps were shot. 
The shooters were divided into two classes, A and B, and each shot 
from a separate set of traps. A class shot from traps pulled in the 
reverse order, Nos. 1 and 5 throwing known angles, and Nos. 3, 3 and 
4 throwing unknown angles. The B class shot at everything known. 
Both sets of traps threw a very regular, even target, though the A 
class were perhaps a trifle harder Despite the handicap three experts 
made the best average for the two days. Heikes, first, with 90 par 
cent. ; McMurchy, second, with 88.8 percent.; Raymond, third, with 88 
per cent. 
first day, may 26. 
The first day of the Limited Gun Club shoot opened bright and clear. 
The attendance was good, and must have been very gratifying to the 
management. Despite the severe handicap a number of crackerjacks 
were here, and as usual carried off the honors. Rolla Heikes had his 
good eye with him, and notwithstanding that he had the misfortune 
to break his best gun, he finished with the excellent percentage of 93. 
Next came Ripp, who shot in the amateur class, with 91.6 McMurchy, 
another one of the crackerjacks, was third, with 91.3. The standing 
of the rest of the contestants can be found in the table below, placed 
in the order of merit. Aside from the names that appear in the tablet 
the following shot only in one event: Shipley 11, Bali 11, Swift 8, Mor- 
ris 8, Smith 8, Townsend 6, and Moore 12. 
In all 61 shooters participated in the programme events of the day, 
the entries ranging from 27 to 43.

SECOND DAY, MAY 27. 
The second day of the tournament opened up even more favorably 
than itB predecessor. True, some of the shooters had returned home, 
as a number of them had only come to stay one day. This was, how- 
ever, offset by the appearance of the Greenburg delegation and C. N. 
Fox, of Detroit, and the entries ran nearly as high as on the day 
previous. When the averages of the day had been computed it was 
found that R. L. Trimble was on top of the heap with a percentage of 
90.6, closely followed by C. W. Raymond, whom he led by 1 target, 
and who averaged 90 per cent. Bush and Fugate also averaged 90 per 
cent., but only shot in a few events. Aside from the above there was 
also a little match between Partington and Livinguth, 50 targets per 
man, with the following result: Partington 46, Livinguth 45.

LEAGUE SEOOT AT MAPLEWOOD. 
May 30. — The fourth contest in the 1896 series of the New Jersey 
Trap-Shooters' League was announced to-day by the Maplewood Gun 
Club. That the selection of this date was unfortunate is clearly 
shown by the fact that only three teams took part in the League race, 
the members of the other teams being scattered around, either attend- 
ing their own club shoots or else erj lying themselves in some other 
manner. The day was very favorable for target shooting, there being 
absolutely no wind, while the brilliant sunshine made an excellent 
light. 
The home team, reinforced by Ferd Van Dyke, who was home on a 
Decoration Day trip, put up the big score of 139 out of a possible 150. 
Scores in the team race were as follows: 
Maplewood: W. N. Drake 25, Warren Smith 24, O. L. Yeomans 24, 
F. Van Dyke 23, E. Sickley 23, A. Sickiev 20—139. 
South Side Gun Club: E. A. Geoffroy 24, C. M. Hedden 24, Ed. 
Young 19, Dawson 19, Breintnall 17, Thomas 15—118.
