The main event in the open-to-all programme was No. 5, the Buffalo 
Times event, 50 targets, unknown angles, $3 entrance, $125 added to 
the purse by the Times, eight moneys. At one time it looked as If 
Glover with 48 and Whitney and McMurchy with 47 each would be 
easily in first and second place. T. C. Graham, however, with his 
Winchester. and W-A powder, jumped in and broke 49, carrying off 
first money all alone. The scores in this event will be found in the 
table of scores under the head of No. 5. 
The State events were three In number. The first was at 25 targets, 
unknown angles, $3 entrance, $75 added by the Courier Company, that 
company also adding $25 to the purse in the team shoot that takes 
place on the fourth day. No. 2 was a similar event with $75 added. 
The third event, State event No. 7, was the contest for the Lefever 
Arms Company's diamond medal. The conditions of the shoot are 20 
singles, known traps and angles, and 5 pairs. In this contest Sim 
Glover added to his laurels by running 19 out of 20 in the singles and 
then breaking his 5 pairs without an error. A special feature of the 
shooting at doubles was the speed of the targets, the No. 4 set of 
traps being requisitioned for this part of the contest. Harry Whitney 
was second with 28, E. D. Fulford and F. D. Kelsey being third with 27. 
The entrance to this event was $3; the medal, won last year by Dan 
Lefever, and 25 percent, of the purse going to the winner: the bal- 
ance was divided into five moneys. Below are the scores of this event 
in detail:

FOURTH DAY, JUNE 12. 
Less wind, a good light and targets thrown a little easier than during 
the first three days of the tournament, made the scores on this, the 
last target day of the shoot, run slightly higher as a general rule. 
Glover and Whitney tied for first honors with a percentage of 92.3, 
Lane being second with 90.6, and Flick third with just 90 per cent. The 
attendance was wonderfully good, 27 shooters taking part in all the 
open events, while the Audubon Club event, No. 5 in the open list, had 
78 entries at $5 each. Below is a table of the averages made by the 27 
shooters who shot through the programme of open events that called 
for a total of 170 targets:

GENERAL AVERAGES. 
With the close of to-day's programme of open events came the fig- 
uring up of the general averages of the four days. The 28 events on 
the programme, 7 for each day, made a total of 080 targets shot at. 
Out of all the shooters that took part in the New York State shoot of 
1896 only 14 shot through the above list of events. Their names, the 
positions they occupied at the finish, the total number of targets 
broken by each out of the 680 shot at, and the amount of average 
money won by each follow:

McMurchy 's comparatively poor score is directly attributable to the 
breakdown of his gun, which compelled him to shoot nearly all day 
with a strange weapon. 
STATE EVENTS. 
"There were only two events on the programme from which residents 
of other States were barred. The first was a $1 miss-and-out. This 
was shot off at the No. 1 set of traps, and resulted in Schortemeier 
winning first place and the privelege of a free passage" to Mackinac 
and return on one of the magnificent steamers owned and run by the 
Northern Steampship Co.— the North West or the North Land. There 
were several other merchandise prizes that fell to the lot of the other 
shooters in this event. The scores were: 
Miss-and out, entrance $1, merchandise prizes, 40 entries: Shorty

The other State event was the 4-men team race, 25 targets per man, 
known angles, entrance $12 per man. First prize, $100 Parker gun to 
order winner, donated by Parker Bros. 
ROCHESTER'S GREAT SCORE. 
This contest was looked upon as quite an open affair and likely to 
be productive of a good and exciting contest. As a matter of fact, 
the scores ruled very high, but Rochester's total led the others by the 
comfortable margin of 5 breaks, the team representing the Rochester 
Rod and Gun Club piling up the big score of 98 out of 100, three out of 
the four men making straight scores. The squad in which this team 
shot was made up as follows: E. D. Fulford and .T. W. Fulford, mem- 
bers of the Oneida County Sportsmen's Club, and the four men on 
the Rochester team. As will be seen by reference to the scores given 
below, this squad ran up the big total of 145 out of 150 shot at. It is 
true the targets were not thrown very far or fast to-day on this Bet of 
traps (No. 1), but still the totals are excellent under any conditions.

BUFFALO AUDUBON CLUB EVENT. 
The main event in to-day's open-to-all programme was the Buffalo 
Audubon Club event, 50 targets, unknown angles, handicap allowance 
of extra targets. For this event the club offered eight prizes, high 
guns to win. The handicapping was done by the officers of the local 
club, each man's allowance being figured upon the basis of his work 
during the previous three days. The fact that the above would be the 
basis upon which the club would figure out the handicap allowances 
was stated in the programme, so that no one had any kick coming to 
him if he did not get as many targets as he thought he ought to have 
had; it was his previous work during the tournament that settled the 
question of his allowance. The scores in this event were as follows:

Thus Carl von Lengerke, who had been away off in his shooting 
during the week, pulled himself together, and aided by the large 
allowance of 17 extra targets pulled out ahead and won the first 
prize, a Marshall & Wendell upright piano, valued at $350. The four 
57a tied for the next four prizes, while Krotz took sixth prize on 56. 
Then came four 55s who tied for the seventh and eighth prizes, all 
below 55 being Bhut out. 
In the table that follows no account is taken of the handicap allow- 
ance in No. 5, onlv the first 50 targets counting in the averages. No 
account has also been taken of those who shot in only one event. Be- 
low are the

is 
11 
the annual State shoot. Targets on this day are put on one side, live 
birds being used in the contest for the State team championship cup. 
The conditions of the cup contest are: Teams of three men, 15 live 
birds per man, $30 per team, birds extra. The cup and 60 per cent, of 
the purse to go to the winners, 40 per cent, to the second highest 
team; class shooting; ties for the cup shot off at 5 birds per man. 
The weather was really beautiful, the only thing to object to being 
the wind, which might have come from a better quarter; as it was it 
blew in from No. 1 trap to the score. The birds, however, were a 
capital lot, those supplied by Worden Bros., of Harrisburg, and by 
Gilbert, of Philadelphia, being exceptionally good ones for this time 
of the year. Of course there were some duffers among those trapped, 
but the big majority were excellent strong flyers, more like November 
birds than a midsummer lot. 
J. S. Fanning, of San Francisco, who is just now making a tour of 
the Eastern tournaments in the interests of Gold Dust powder, acted 
as referee and played his part perfectly satisfactorily. F. Whitaker 
was official scorer, while Ed Reinecke filled the tiresome position of 
trap-puller. 
That Buffalonians enjoy a good contest was well shown to-day, 
crowds going out to the grounds to see the shoot. Eleven teams 
entered for the race and all but one put in an appearance when called 
to the score. The missing team was the Idle Hour Gun Club, of Buf- 
falo. Those that took part in the contest were: Whitestown Gun 
Club, of Utica; Fountain Rod and Gun Club, of Brooklyn; Rochester 
Rod and Gun Club; Audubon Gun Club, of Buffalo; New Utrecht Gun 
Club, of Brooklyn; Oneida County Sportsmen's Club, of Utica; Cob- 
web Gun Club, of New York: Keystone Gun Club, of Buffalo; Peoria 
Gun Club, of Buffalo; North Parma Gun Club, of Rochester. The 
cup was won last year by the New Utrecht Gun Club, who also won it 
in 1894. 
So good were the birds that when the fifteenth round had been com- 
pleted It was found that the Whitestown Club and the Fountain Club 
were high with scores of 41 out of 45; the Audubons and the Rochester 
boys were tied with scores of one bird less. On the shoot-off the 
former won easily with 15 to 12. A. S. Hunter, of the winning team, 
killed his 20 birds straight, while Hardie Richardson (once a member 
of the Detroit Baseball Club's Big Four) was close after him with 19 
out of 20, 1 dead out of bounds. Dr. Kilbourne, who is a rattling good 
live-bird shot, scored 17 out of 20, losing 2 dead out of bounds. For 
the Fountains Louis Duryea shot as well as ever, his twentieth bird 
escaping through carelessness on the shooter's part, the race being 
over, as Lair shot ahead of Duryea in the shoot-off. Dr. Wynn slipped 
up on 2 easy birds in his first 15. Charlie Burkhardt shot in hard 
luck, but his brother, E. 0., did hiB best to retrieve the day, shooting 
very well and only losing 1 bird, his fourteenth, dead out of bounds. 
B. F. Smith, of the Audubon team, made the star shot of the day by 
bringing down a bird that had gained 15 to 20yds. on him owing to his 
safety not being properly adjusted; the shot was a wonderful one, 
and proved that Smith has the proper load for his Baker gun. E. D. 
Fulford shot in first-class form, not giving one of his birds a chance to 
get away. The scores, which follow, must tell the rest of the story:

Mr. McCheBney, who represents Mr. Jenkins, of the Syracuse 
Herald , was present during the first two days of the shooting boom- 
ing the Syracuse shoot, June 29-July 4. The buttons he gave awav 
nearly caused his arrest by a police officer on Tuesday night Whii« 
walking down Main street he incautiously gave away a few of the 
buttons to some small boys; the result was an onslaught bv all th« 
small fry in sight. McChesney took to his heels, but he's not much a? 
running; he's not built that way. He then took refuge in a store and 
the sidewalk in front of the store was promptly blSckaded. Being 
ordered out of the store by the proprietress, who was uncer ta n as tf 
his reasons for • being there, he fled to a neighboring saloon The
