Montana State Sportsmen's Association. 
Missoula, Mont., May 25.— There has been a tournament at Mis 
soula. At least, that is what some of the boys are saying, and the 
boyB should certainly be authority in the matter, as they are all more 
or less practically aware of haying been to a shooting match. 
The third annual tournament of the Montana State Sportsmen's 
Association, held in this city on May 23-24. 1b conceded by all who at- 
tended it as having been by long odds the most successful shooting 
tournament ever brought off in the State. 
It is a pretty generally accepted fact that of all the cranks the 
crankiest crank is a gun crank, and when a lot of the genus gunibus 
crankibua (I guess that's what you'd call him) are gathered together 
in one flock it is the rule that being in his own peculiar sphere the 
gun crank 1b properly located to indulge his natural propensities; and 
he forgets not to do so, while cranky consequences follow after. How- 
ever, every rule has its exception, the exception to the above rule 
being the Missoula meet. It must nave been that every crank left his 
cranky clothes at home, and wore only his shooting outfit. The entire 
affair ran along as smoothly as if the machinery of the event had 
been carefully oiled throughout, and— perhaps it was. 
Nature herself, who for weeks had had only storms and frowns to 
bestow on the "ants of the earth" in these parts, deigned to put on a 
less forbidding countenance during the greater portion of the 
time, to the great delight of the shooters and their friends. It may 
have been the weather. It may have been the people. Probably ft 
was the grounds or the accommodations. Possibly it was the . 
No, we will not venture to flatter ourselves that the management of 
the thing should be considered; but anyway, there was scarcely a jar, 
a wrangle or any sort of friction whatever to mar the pleasure of the 
event, and we trust that no shooter had cause to think that he had not 
been accorded treatment just and fair. The attendance, while good, 
was not what might be termed large. Forty-five was the greatest 
number of entries in any one event, but the average ran close to forty 
throughout the bluerock events, barring championship shoots. 
There were not so many who took part in the live-bird shooting, but 
there were as many as the- club could have satisfied, as all pigeons 
that could be procured were trapped. The day preceding the com- 
mencement of the tournament about a score of shooters were on hand 
at quite an early hour, and the day was spent by them in practice and 
sweepstake shooting, with but little less interest displayed than was 
shown in the three succeeding days. 
THE ANNUAL CONVENTION. 
On the evening of the first day a meeting of the Association was 
held, at which time M. B. Brownlee, of Anaconda, was" chosen Presi- 
dent for the ensuing year; J. M. Evans, of Missoula, Vice-President, 
and C. H Smith, of Butte, was re-elected Secretary and Treasurer, as 
were also P. E. McGowan, of Phillipsburg; J, P. Menard, of Missoula, 
and T. H. Pleapanta, of Helena, to act with the president and secre- 
tary as a board of directors. W. H. Wright, the well-known hunter 
and guide, was elected an honorary member of the Association, 
r It was decided to use the Influence of the Association toward secur- 
ing at the next session of the State Legislature the passage of a more 
wholesome set of game laws than those with which the statute booka 
of the State are now burdened, and also to use its influence to secure 
a better enforcement of such laws as may be adopted. 
The city of Anaconda was decided upon as the place in which to 
hold the next annual tournament 
At an adjourned meeting, held the week following, it was decided 
that the Association should provide a new live-bird trophy to be 
known as the Challenge Trophy, and that the second high gun of the 
live-bird championship shoot of the following day should receive it, 
he to be subject to challenge by any member of the Association at 
any time during the year on thirty days 1 notice. 
THE SHOOT. 
The ball opened with a 10-bird, unknown angles, sweep, not in- 
cluded in the general averages, and the following scores were made: 
W. Hillis 7, C. H. Smith 9, M. Browning 8, Rockefeller 8, Menard 8, 
Bartlett 10, W. Neu 8, J. Neu 6, Brownlee 7, Wright 9, Jones 9, East- 
man 6, Fisk 10, Selvidge 9, Conley 9, Denison 8, McGowan 8, Twohy 8, 
O. A Tuttle 7, Thompson 8, Norris 8, J. Evans 10, Cave 8,Brayton 6,

Evans 5, Coyle 7, Ware 7, Sisson 10, Van Wyck 8, Considine 9. 
The items on which interest was centered principally were the 
championship events and the general averages. A shooter in order to 
secure a chance at a general average prize must have shot through 
all of events numbered 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13 and 14. There were 
but twenty-three who shot through, and below is given table of all 
entries in any of these events, and showing the averages of those who 
shot through.

It will be seen from the above table that C. H. Smith, of Butte, sec- 
retary and treasurer of the Association, made the highest average. 
The team championship cup shoot (fourth event, first day) was won 
by the Missoula team No. 1 on a score of 68 out of a possible 75, known 
angles. Scores in this event were: 
Missoula No. 1: Menard 22. J. Evans 23, Williams 28-68. 
Butte: Jones 83, C. H. Smith 22, Wright 21-66. 
Anaconda No. 2: Denison 28, Rockefeller 23, 0. A. Tuttle 19—65, 
Anaconda No. 1: Twohy 28, Bartlett 20. Conley 30—63. 
Helena: Fisk 24, Kennett 19, Barbour 18—61. 
Missoula No. 2: Clark 21, Searles 20, Cave 19-60. 
Missoula No. 8: Thompson 22, Brayton 19, W. Hillis 19-60. 
Phllipsburg: W. Neu 18, McGowan 18, J. Neu 17— E3. 
Event No. 2 (second day) was the individual championship event, 
and it proved to be a great contest. A. J. Fisk, of Helena, the retiring 
president of the Association, and D. D. Twohy, of Anaconda, tied on a 
score of 49 out of the 50 known angle bluerocks Bhot at by each. In 
the shoot-off at 25 birds Twohy secured the trophy by a Bcore of 23 to 
Fisk's it. Scores: 
State individual bluerock championship, 50 bluerocks, known angles: 
W. Hillis 30, Fisk 49, Rockefeller 41, Bartlett 38, J. Neu 37, W. Neu 37, 
Williams 44, Denison 44. C. A. Tuttle 31, Brownlee 38, Twohy 49, Ken- 
nett 30, Menard 41, C. H. Smith 45, Wright 46, McGowan 42, Brayton 40, 
Hewes 39, Hymer 33, Barbour 43, J. Evans 41, Conley 39, Jones 43, Es- 
may 81, Clark 43. 
The following 1b the score of the consolation shoot, the last blue- 
rock event of the programme outside of extras, and was not included 
in the general averages: 
J. Hillis 10, Cummings 6, Heard 11, Brownlee 7, Frazier 9, Cave 9, 
Woody 11, Lemley 6, T. Evans 8. 
While bluerocks may be aB interesting to the shooters themselves, 
they do not fill the grand stand as does live-bird shooting. Despite 
the fact that nature seemed to have grown weary of smiling on our 
efforts, and showed up very much of an opposite temper on the third 
and last day, a goodly number of shooters and spectators assembled 
to witness the sport. The first event was a 7-blrd sweep in which 
there were 23 entries, the balance of the shooters preferring to be on- 
lookers. Of the 28 entered, 8 shooters killed their 7 birds straight. 
The scores made were as follows: 
Seven live birds, $5, 3 moneys, class shooting: Cummings 7, 
Knight 5, Van Wyck 4, Spargo 3, Fisk 7, McGowan 6, Williams 6. W. 
Hillis 7, Brownlee 4, Conley 7, Rockafeller 7, Twohy 7, Menard 5, 
Ware 7, Nicholls 6, Tuttle 6, Bartlett 7, Kennett 4, J. Neu 6, W. Neu 6, 
Thompson 6, J. Hillis 4. 
The next event, the State live-bird championship, was the one in 
which the greatest interest of the three days' shoot was shown. It 
was a 15-bird event, 3 misses out. Out of 26 who went to the score, 
only 7 managed to drop less than 3 birds. Conley, of Aanconda, and 
Wright, of Butte, tied on 15 straight, and Twohy followed close with 
14 dead, his 9th bird having dropped out of bounds. The tie between 
Conley and Wright was shot off at 10 birds. Conley missed bis 3d, and 
his 10th fell out of bounds. Wright killed all but his 8th, and thus 
won the State live-bird championship for 1896, being thereby entitled 
to the championship medal for the ensuing year. Conley, shooting 
the second high gun, was the winner of the challenge trophy, which 
may be contested for by any other member of the Association at any 
time during the year on a 30 days' challenge. 8cores:

Immediately after the close of the above, a 10 bird match was ar- 
ranged between Knight, of Butte, who had killed 13 birds in the 
championship shoot, and Conley. Knight missed his 9th, Conley's 1st 
fell dead out of bounds, and they continued at 5 more each. Knight's 
first was missed, and another out of bounds for Conley (his 4th) made 
the scratch Btill a tie, and 5 more were decided upon. In this series 
both made a straight score, and as the birds were all shot out, and it 
being too late to procure more, the match was declared off and the 
stakes withdrawn. 
Several short sweeps fit bluerocks in which honors were divided 
then brought the third annual tournament of the Montana State 
Sportsmen's Association to a close. 
THE ROSE SYSTEM. 
The Rose system of dividing purses was given a thorough trial, and 
resulted in quite a difference of opinions regarding its merits, though 
the majority are certainly in favor of the new system. The crack 
shots are not favored probably to the extent that they would be under 
the old percentage system, and they are correspondingly not so well 
pleased with it, but there is no question but that the average shooter 
gets a much better show "for his white alley," and In my opinion it 
could have no better indorsement than the fact that in this tourna- 
ment there were but few who shot at all who did not stay through 
the entire shoot. 
NOTES AND PERSONALS. 
There was but one genuine sport on the grounds, and that was Bob 
Heard, of Wallace, Idaho. He weighs only 2751bs., but it is not his 
fault that he has not yet gotten his growth 
Van Wyck and Bill Hillis, of Libby, are all right with the rifle, but 
bluerocks, pigeons and scatter guns do not appear to be their strong- 
est forte. 
The suave and genial secretary, C. H. Smith, was decidedly in evi- 
dence from start to finish. 
The good-looking man of the convention was Mr. H. Rockefeller, of 
Anaconda. In truth, Anaconda furnished the majority of good-looking 
shooters. ~ 
If you wish to meet a gun crank from Crankville, and a whole-souled 
jolly, good-natured fellow withal, just call around and make the ac- 
quaintance of "Shotgun Pete" McGowan, of Philipsburg. 
C. A. Tuttle, of Anaconda, can be congratulated on his invention of 
a perfect system of handling the cash office. 
Mr. M. Browning, of the firm of Browning Bros., of Ogden, Utah as 
gentlemanly a shooter as ever stepped to the score, is assured of a 
hearty welcome by the shooting contingent, if he ever pays the Gar- 
den City another visit. 
Any two shooters of the State who run up against Williams and 
Clark, of Btevenaville, will find that they are not having any picnic 
No one can question the right of Mr. D. D. Twohy, of Anaconda, 'to 
the individual bluerock championship cup, as he won it fairly and 
squarely, and in as pretty a contest as one could wish to witness 
Percy Kennett, of Helena, must have left a portion of his shoot ing 
clothes at home, as he did not show up in his usual form, though I 
understand that trouble with his eyes was responsible for his lack of 
success. 
' P. Holohan, of Wallace, Ida., understands his business when be- 
hind a 12-bore. If you don't believe it just make a match with him 
for a 50 or a 100-bird race. 
The Neu brothers, of Philipsburg, were down on their luck, but 
proved their sportsmanship by staying through the whole deal. 
Had the Association searched the State over it would not have found 
a more thoroughly representative sportsman and genial gentleman to 
place at its head than the one it has selected, Mr. M. B. Brownlee of 
Anaconda. ' 
If I could pick out five men who attended this tournament, to shoot 
a live-bird match at say 60 birds, I would select A, Ftak, of Helena; 
James Conley, of Anaconda; D. D. Twohy, of the same city; M, Wright, 
of Butte, and T. B. Ware, of Spokane, Wash , and would show you a 
match for your money, with little odds in favor of any one named. 
With Missoula winning both of the team shoots, and Menard taking 
fourth general average money, the home club hare no cause for com- 
plaint as to the division of the honors. Will Cave. 
Dedham Sportsmen's Club. 
Boston, Mass., May 30.— The Dedbam Sportsmen's Club, Boston, 
Mass., held their weekly shoot to-day. There were thirty-six shooters 
present, besides a large crowd of spectators. During the afternoon a 
team match was shot between eight members of the Hopedale and 
Dedham Gun Clubs, the Dedham club winning by a score of 113 to 85. 
Blinn, Leverett, Greener, Cole, Herbert, Gordon, B. Smith and Agor 
representing the team for the Dedham Gun Club; Dudley, Egleston, 
Aron, Prentice, Wright, C. Whitney, Moron and G. Whitnev represent- 
ing the Hopedale Gun Club. By referring to events Nos. '8 and 9 the 
individual shooting of each member of the teams will be found scored. 
Match No. 7 was shot for a gold medal, which was tied for between B. 
Smith and Herbert, and shot off on the next event and finally won by 
Herbert. Over 5,000 targets were thrown and a very enjoyable time 
was spent by everyone present. Events Nos. 1, 3, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 14 
were at known traps and angles: Nos. 2, 4, 8 and 10, unknown angles; 
Nos. 6 and 12, reverse order; Nos. 15 and 16 at 5 pairs; No. 5, Hurling- 
ham style. Event No. 7 was at 20 targets, all the others at 10 targets.

Pawtuxet Gun Club. 
Pawtuxet, R. L, May 30.— The Pawtuxet Gun Club held its third 
medal shoot to-day. The shoot was a very enjoyable one, all present 
having a good time. Among the visitors was F. L. Corey, of Sterling, 
Conn., who has just returned from Germany. He tells us that over 
there they are snooting targets quite a lot, and are using the old 
Ligowsky clay bird, 25 meters rise, both barrels, and adds that they 
have several expert shots at that style of shooting. Scores in to day's 
events were as follows, Dennis winning the tie for the Class B medal:
