FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Sept. 15, 1894. 
NEW LONDON, CONNECTICUT. 
The seventh annual tournament of the Standard Keystone Company 
was brought to a close on Friday evening last, Sept. 7, after four days 
of a continuous fusillade at targets. In one respect the tournament 
was a curiosity — the way the targets got away from the "cracker- 
jacks" was a caution. Mr. H. A, Penrose, of the Standard Keystone 
Company, managed the tournament, and kept things running at a rate 
that gave those present all the shooting they wanted each day by at 
least one hour before sundown. But Mr, Penrose had been asked to 
make the shootine- hard, and he succeeded in doing: as he was requested. 
The conditions of the tournament were everything at unknown angles, 
experts 18yds. rise, the balance at 16yds. The new model of keystone 
traps, with the company's electric pull attached, were used and were 
keyed up to the top notch, targets being thrown 70 and 80yds. The 
combination was too much for the vast majority of shooters present; 
so much so, in fact, that on the third day experts were advanced to 
16yds., the others moving up to the 14-yard mark. 
That the poor records made on the first two days were not wholly 
attributable to the extra two yards is conclusively proved by a refer- 
ence to the scores after the change had been made. There was some- 
thing: else at fault, and what that was puzzled, and still puzzles, many 
of those who put up their money and shot through the programme. 
The location of the traps probably had a good deal to do with it. 
The tournament took place about two and one-half miles from New 
London along the line of the electric railway that runs to Ocean 
Beach. Two hundred yards to the right of the streetcar line, up a 
hillside that was sufficiently steep to cause a quickening of the breath 
on the part of those who bad an abundance of adipose tissue, a line of 
tents showed where the tournament was to take place. Parallel with 
the slope of the hill stood the screens behind which the two sets of 
traps were located, No. 5 trap in each set being considerably more 
down hill than No. 1. The shooters, too, stood lower than the traps, 
and shot up hill, the hillside being rounded off. Whether these two cir- 
cumstances were to blame for the scores or not, will probably never 
be settled. At any rate it was claimed, and the claim seems reason- 
able, that the flight of the targets from traps so located must neces- 
sarily be deceptive; left- quarter ers, that climbed tbe hill, in reality 
being thrown much higher than they appeared to be, while right- 
quarterers, which followed the slope of the hill, were really dropping 
much faster than most people Imagined. The question was thrashed 
out over and over again during the four days of the tournament, and 
at the end the positive answer had not yet been given. 
The chief results of the tournament was to place Bolla Heikes and 
his Winchester on a higher plane than ever, putting him practically in 
a class by himself, and, also, to show that 10-gauges should scarcely 
be allowed to stand on an equality with 12-guage guns. Glover and 
H. G-, Wheeler are both excellent target shots; to use an accepted 
term, "they're about as good as they're made." These two experts 
wield 10-gauge guns and wield them effectively. The increased pow- 
der charge which they can use in their weapons and the larger dose of 
shot which they are consequently able to hurl after the targets, must 
necersarily give them a larger effective killing circle over their 12- 
gauge companions who stand on the same mark. The opening event 
on the 
First Day. 
was an extra, the regular programme being held back a little to allow 
the shooters from the State of Connecticut to arrive at the grounds. 
It was fully 10:30 before the first regular event was called. By that 
time it had been discovered that something was wrong, ciphers were 
far too common. Glover shot well, but he had the advantage of 
shooting the first two regular events at the 16yds. mark, going 
straight in each event. He was then transferred to 18yds. and shot 
there, except in the trophy events, until the close of the second day, 
when he and Wheeler were moved up to the 16yds. mark together 
with the other experts. This class was composed of Heikes, Dickey, 
Van Dyke, Bartlett, H. G. Wheeler, Upson, E. D. Fuiford, Glover, 
■'Jones" and "White." 
The race for the Standard Keystone trophy brought out 23 entries, 
Heikes and Anthony tieing with 47 each. In the shoot off at 25 targets 
Heikes won with 22 to the Colonel's 20. For the Lovell diamond 
bicycle, Gates and Risley tied with 24 each. The tie was not shot off, 
Gates giving Bisley value received for his chance. Scores:

Second Day. 
The second day was much the same as the first in every condition, 
save that there was more wind. The sun barely showed himself for 
more than a few minutes, and barring the wind everything was favor- 
able for good scores. Wheeler broke 182 out of the 210 called for in 
the regular programme events, beating Heikes and Upson by one tar- 
get, each breaking 181. Wheeler won the Colthammerless gun donated 
to the highest scorer in the third event, breaking 23 out of 25, Heikes, 
Gates and Savage werejonly one target behind him with 22 each. In the 
State team race the Boston Shooting Association team gained one 
target on the leaders, breaking 102 to the Oneida county team's 101, 
leaving the New Yorkers two targets ahead on the two days' shoot. 
Thirty-seven shooters took part in the programme events, the entries 
averaging throughout the day about 24 in each event. 
The L. C. Smith trophy, won last year by Mr. O. B. Dickey, of Bos- 
ton, with a score of 49, was won by Heikes with 46 breaks, Colonel 
Anthony, Upson and Savage taking second place with 45 each ; Dickey 
was third with 43. 
Among the new arrivals on this day was Captain Money, of the 
American E. C. Powder Co., who found the targets just as difficult as 
the rest of the boys. Scores:

Third Day. 
Early this morning the weather looked threatening; the wind had 
shifted completely around and came directly across the traps from 
the east. A few gentle showers did fall while some of the first events 
on the programme were being decided, but toward noon the sun came 
out and the afternoon was simply a perfect one for breaking targets. 
The wind died away to nothing and the Sound at the back of the 
shooters was as calm as a duck pond. 
According to the arrangement announced the previous evening, 
amateurs moved up to the 14yds. mark, experts taking their stand at 
16yds. Better scores were the natural result but still nothing of a 
phenomenal result was recorded. Forty-five shooters took part in the 
programme events, the entries averaging nearly twenty-seven. 
In event No. 3. 25 targets, Winchester repeating shotgun added. 
Heikes came out ahead with 25 straight, Wheeler and Willey being 
second and third with 24 and 23 respectively. In connection with this 
race a rather amusing incident occurred. Heikes had left one of his 
guns down town — his favorite gun. Finding he was not doing well 
with the one he had w'th him he dispatched a boy to New London for 
the other. Just as Heikes was stepping to the score to shoot his 
string, the boy wos seen running up the hill from the streetcar track 
with Bolla's winning gun In two minutes it was out of the ease and 
the result was as above— 25 straight. 
The State team race left the New York team with ths substantial 
lead of 11 targets for tbe Bostou men to overcome on the last day. 
Strangely enough, all through, these contests E. D. Fuiford was the 
weak man on the New York team. E. D. has shown conclusively of 
late that he is an expert target shot, but he had a hoodoo with him at 
New London, and he couldn't down it. 
In event No. 7, Peters Cartridge Company's trophy, Heikes was once 
more to the fore with 47 out of 50. Van Dyke, who shot more like 
himself in this event, and Glover, tied for second place with 45. Col. 
Anthony was third with 44, dropping his forty-second, forty -third and 
forty fourth targets, when he had a good chance to once more tie 
Heikes. The colonel's work in the tropby events to date is worth 
looking at, showing as it does what the Tarheel State representative 
can do when it comes to a long race. In considering the scores made 
by the shooters, it should be remembered that all events throughout 
the tournament were at unknown angles 
Among the new arrivals to-day were W. M. Thomas of the U. M. C. 
Company, and his son. Young Mr. Thomas is not a shooter, but he 
can ride a wheel, coming from Bridgeport to the Pequot House, New 
London, 72 miles in about eight hours. A. C. Courtney of the Lefever 
Arms Company, put in an appearance late in the afternoon, but did 
not ahoot.
