New England Shooting Association. 
Hartford, June 29.— The opening tournament of the New England 
Shooting Association took place on the grounds of the Colt Hammer- 
less Gun Club yesterdav, and all in all, it can be classed as one of the 
grandest and most successful tournaments ever held in the beautiful 
city of Hartford. Wbile the New England Shooting Association is 
newly born, consequently its facilities and capabilities for operating a 
tournament of this size was looked upon with much interest, but 
to-day proved to the shooters of New England that nothing lacks ite 
intelligence. 
The entire shooting paraphernalia, including traps, targets, pulls, 
indicators, etc , were furnished by the Empire Target Co., Mr. Chas. 
C. Hebbard of New York, superintending. Everything worked in 
good order; the targets flew well, consequently good scores were made 
by local and visiting sportsmen. 
There were present about 50 shooters, representing a fraternity of 
skill, from nearly every State in New England. Connecticut furnished 
a majority of ihe delegation present, New London, Willimantic, New 
Haven, Meriden, Bristol. Unionville, Collinsville, Bridgeport and 
Hadleyville responding generously. President W. A. Witherbee of 
Boston and Secretary W. P Brown of Lynn managed the tournament 
aside from trap mechanism, and the greatest satisfaction was expressed 
by all. Not a hitch or a word of dissatisfaction was expressed during 
the tournament, and it was indeed a most courteous community. 
Warm weather and counter attractions had a tendency to decrease 
the attendance. The Yale-Harvard boat race at New London dis- 
tracted the love of many sportsmen to another direction, and the 
Broeton's tournament kept the Boston boys at home; but considering 
the intense weather and other attractions the attendance was good. 
In the championship events American Association rules governed, 
omitting Rule 14. Gun below armpit handicapped many, yet after 
once started there was little opposition or complaint. 
Prizes for the highest two averages were won by Sperry of Collins- 
ville with 90 per cent., and Risley of Hartford, witb 89% pgr cent. 
Wood of Hartford took the prize of a year's subscription to Forest 
and Stream for the highest score in the individual championship, 
ii (At 10 o'clock sharp the first event was called by the secretary. Fol- 
lowing are the scores:

The Standard Gun Club 
Of Baltimore, Md., gave an all day shoot on the Fourth. The feature 
of the day was the 5th event at 50 targets, known traps and angles, 
for the individual championship of the State, and for which the club 
donates a handsome silver cup to the winner. So far each year the 
cup has been won by a member of the Standard, and again this year 
the club added another laurel to its bright record in that Hawkins, the 
youngest member of the club, captured the valuable silver cup offered 
by the club and the individual championship of the State. Much 
credit is due young Hawkins, who is but 17 years of age, as he had 
some of the best shots in the State to compete with, and his score of 
48 out of 50 was too much for the older heads. The following scores 
were made: 
No. 1, 15 singles, entrance $1: Malone 10, Bond 9, Hawkins 9, Hall 9,
