Programme of Coming 1 Events. 
' At this season of the year, every trapshooter of note, and the 
management of every sportsman's paper, receives from week 
to week programmes of tournaments that are to be held in the 
near future. The programme of the present day is an elaborate 
article; its compilation has been carefully handled: its illustra- 
tions are for the most part artistic as well as interesting, while 
the reading matter touches upon every point that relates to the 
running of the tournament. It might be well to suggest to 
tournament committees that a note, usually overlooked, be 
added to alt programmes, detailing how, and to what address, 
cases of loaded shells for use at their tournament should be 
sent, so as to insure their being found on the grounds during 
the morning of the first day. This little bit of information 
will often save a lot of trouble. 
Among the programmes recently received by Forest and 
Stream is the one issued by the Buckeye Gun Club, of Dayton, 
O., for the ninth annual tournament of the 
OHIO TRAP SHOOTERS' LEAGUE. 
This programme opens wiih the following prologue: "The 
ninth annual tournament of the Ohio Trap Shooters' League 
will take place at Dayton, Ohio, May 14, 15 and 16, under the 
auspices of the Buckeye Gun Club. The management presents 
herein a programme which cannot fail to be satisfactory alike 
to both amateur and expert. The Buckeye Club refers with 
pardonable pride to the fact that they are the first of the league 
clubs to add money to the purses of the state tournaments. 
Tbey hope thereby not only to stimulate the healthful and 
gentlemanly sport of trap shooting, but insure for 1895 the 
most successful of all state tournaments. To this end we trust, 
that our cordial invitation to trap shooters of Ohio to be with 
us, will be met with their hearty and generous response." 
After giving a list of the officers of the Ohio Trapshooters' 
League, and of the Buckeye Gun Club, together with the com- 
mittees appointed to look after special departments of the tour- 
nament, ,the programme gives the following notes on rules 
governing the league tournaments: "Dimick's revision of 
American Shooting Association Rules will govern all contests. 
Traps will be arranged to throw targets at unknown angles, 
except in Smith Cup contest. Divisions of money will be made 
as specified below, except when otherwise named." This it 
follows with a copy of rule 19, full of interest to all intending 
competitors: "For the purpose of providing for the mutual good 
of amateurs and experts, the following conditions shall govern 
distribution of purses in all matches: There shall be no classifi- 
cation or handicapping otherwise than as herein provided. The 
entrance fee of all shooters shall be equal, and all the con- 
ditions governing the shooting the same for all participants. 
The net amount of purse shall be divided into two equal parts, 
Nos. 1 and 2, and each of these parts into three purses, 50, 30 
and 20 per cent. No match shall be at a less number than six 
targets or live birds. All shooting shall be class shooting. 
Those making the three highest scores shall be entitled to the 
respective amounts into which purse No. 1 is divided; those 
making the next highest three scores shall be entitled to the 
re«Dective amounts into which purse No. 2 is divided. Should 
more than three contestants tie for any one of the six 
mentioned purses as subdivided, and not divide same by- 
consent of all, the tie shall be shot down until 
three or less are entitled to same; then r if either of 
the participants express a wish for a division of the purse, it 
shall be divided. If any shooter shall share in any of the three 
subdivisions of the higher or No. 1 purse three times during 
any touruament,he shall be excluded from participating in any 
of the subdivisions of purse No. 2 herein named. Amendment 
by Executive Committee. Any contestant for a division of 
purse No 2, who, in the tie shooting at nine or more targets, 
scores a higher average than 80 per cent, shall not participate 
in any of the divisions of purse No. 2 in the subsequent events 
of a tournament." 
Next comes a list of "What you want to know," as follows: 
"Targets, two cents each. All ties divided, except in prizes. 
Lunch and a good warm dinner will be served. Shells, both 
hand and machine loaded, will be for sale. The programme 
events will commence promptly each day at 9 A. M. Be on 
hand at that hour and thereby assist the management. Two 
set of traps will be in operation on Monday, preceding the 
shoot, at which sweepstakes to suit shooters will be the order. 
The Phillips House, a strictly first-class hotel, will be head- 
quarters. A uniform rate of $2 per day will be charged. 
Electric cars can be taken at the door for the depot or the 
Buckeye Shooting grounds. The annual meeting of the Ohio 
State League will be held Tuesday, May 14=, at 8 P. M., at the 
Phillips House, Room No. 197. -Members of the Ohio State 
League, will you not aid us in discountenancing the pernicious 
habit of dropping for place. Merit and not intrigue is alone 
the basis upon which our purses should be divided." 
Additional information may be summed up briefly as follows: 
Purses in all open events will be divided into four moneys. In 
addition to the $200 added by the Buckeye Gun Club for league 
events, merchandise prizes have been donated by several mer- 
chants of Dayton for averages: three for general averages and 
12 for daily averages; shooters to qualify for the daily averages 
must shoot in all league events of the day ; for general averages 
in all league events of the tournament. The trophy events are 
three in number, one on each day. The first is the Ohio State 
Journal Cup, value, $200, at 30 targets, unknown angles; this 
event is shot at 1 P. M. on May 14. At the same hour on May 
15 is the L. C. Smith trophy, value, $500, emblematic of the 
championship of Ohio; this contest is at 50 targets from three 
traps. The third is the Sportsman's Review, of Chicago, lbs., 
Cup for two men teams, emblematic of the State team cham- 
pionship; this contest takes place at 1 P. M. on May 16. The 
programme for open events consists each day of events as fol- 
lows: Nos. 1 and 2, 20 targets, $2 entrance; Nos. 3-7, 20 targets, 
$2.50 entrance; No. 8, 25 targets, $4 entrance. Any further in- 
formation that may be desired will be gladly given by Edwin 
Taylor, Secretary-Treasurer, Ohio Trapshooters' League, 
Cincinnati, O. 
Another programme is that of the 
DUPONT TOURNAMENT, 
which will be held at Cincinnati, O., on May 7-10. In Forest 
and Stream of March 23, will be found a very full notice of 
this tournament, the facts and figures contained therein being 
taken from a prospectus issued the weeit previous. There is 
very little to add to that notice, the ground having been well 
covered by the prospectus. This tournament will unquestion- 
ably be one of the best of the season, the programme offering 
sufficient attraction, outside of the large amount of added 
money — $1,200, to draw together a considerable number of 
shooters. With, the Waddell Bros, in charge of the manage- 
ment, there is no chance of there being anything to cause dis- 
satisfaction. Although the system under which the tourna- 
ment will be run, each shooter practically classifying bimsplf, 
is bound to make extra work for the cashier's office, the Messrs. 
Waddell have thoroughly covered this point, and will take care 
that no failure in this important branch shall mar the Dupont 
Tournament of 1895. 
The programme of the 
PEEKSKILL GUN CLUB 
is also to hand. This tournament takes place next^week, on the 
grounds of the PeekskiU, N. Y., Gun Club. This club has been 
in existence for some time, but its record was made last year, 
when the club's team of 8 men scored 193 out of 200, an average 
of 96 1-2 per cent., in a contest with the Marlborough Gun Club. 
An insert to the programme gives a cut of the winning team, 
together with eaeh man's score as follows : B. C. Everingham, 
Frank S^'tbard, 25; Dr. S. F. Horton, 25: Dr. P. H. Mason, 
ijfiil .V . U. . \ i e, 24, John B. Halstead, 24; Dr. H. B, .Wygant, 
23; M. S. Perry, 23. In our;issue>f ;Aprii;i3,',the;death of^Dr. 
Wygant and the resolutions of condolence passed by; the Peek- 
skill Gun Club, were noted. Dr. Wygant's absence at this, the 
fourth annual tournament of the gun club, will be felt by 
many. 
The dates of the shoot are April 24-26. The first two days are 
devoted to targets, the third to five birds. The target events 
are varied enough to suit everybody, while the price of entries, 
10 cents a target, is bound to please the amateur, there being 
several 10 and 15 target races each day. Twelve entries or 
over, 4 moneys, under 12, ttuee moneys. Note this: "No entries 
O. E. DICKEY. 
taKen in any event after first squad has shot." The live bird 
events are as follows: No. 1, 5 birds, $5; No. 2, 10 birds, $7; No. 
3, 15 birds, $10; handicap rise, birds extra. Two other items 
are worth noting: "Only smokeless powder to be used," and 
"All complaints to be made to members of the tournament com- 
mittee, and positively all kicking to be done by them." 
Work vs. Duryea. 
A match at 100 live birds between George Work and Louis 
Duryea has been on the tapis for some time. It was postponed 
once or twice for various reasons, but was at last brought off 
on the grounds of the Westminster Kennel Club, Babylon, 
L. L, on Tuesdav, April 9. Work came out ahead by 7 birds, 
killing 92 to Duf yea's 86. In dead out of bounds Duryea made 
a remarkable score — 12 out of his fourteen lost birds dying 
beyond the boundary; in all he actually killed 98 out of his IOC, 
but then— dead out of bounds do not count Work lost five 
birds that fell dead over the boundary, nis total kills amount- 
ing to 97. Thus, but five out of the 200 birds trapped succeeded 
in getting away. As the birds were a good lot, sitters being 
rare exceptions, the score made by Work is a good one. Dur- 
yea's number of lost birds is attributed to his becoming rather 
slow with his second barrel on the last half of the match. Work 
allow* 1 his antagonist one yard as a handicap. 
Both men started well, Work being the first to lose one, his 
15th, which fell dead out of bounds; he killed nis next 10, Dur- 
yea in the meantime running out his first string of 25 without a 
miss, the score standing, Duryea, 25; Work, 24. The latter 
caught Duryea on the 33d round, after Duryea had lost his 32d 
dead out of bounds and his 33d, one of the two which got away 
from him. The 38th and 45th birds for Duryea both fell dead 
out of bounds, as also did his 50th, Work only losing his 47tb. 
This made the score stand 48-45 in Work's favor at the end of 
the 50th round. From tint point Duryea fell behind, at one 
time losing three birds (his 54th, 55th, and 56th) in quick suc- 
cession. At the close of the third string of 25 the score stood 
CAPT. E. B. WADSWOBTH. 
71-64 in favor of Work. This lead of 7 was increased to S 
when Duryea lost his 76th bird. Out of the remaining 24 birds, 
Work lost 4 to his opponent's 2, Duryea ending up 6 to the bad. 
The long runs were: Work, 31, 16, 14 and ;14; Duryea, 31, 13 
and 11. The score was as follows: 
Trenton Gun Club. 
Trenton, N. J., April 11.— The regluar monthly shoot of the 
Trenton Gun Club was held at its grounds to-day. The weather 
was perfectly lovely, not a cloud obscured the sky nor was 
there a breath of wind to cause the targets to pursue an erratic 
course. Shooting was all done from five traps. The club con- 
test was for two badges, first and second; the_ conditions oO 
targets per man; each man first shooting at Id for place, tne 
men breaking eleven and over being placed in the first class, 
and the men under eleven in the second class. Then each man 
shot at 15 for the badges, the highest in each c ass to take the 
badges; Thomas won first and Bainbridge second, lhe follow- 
ing are the scores:

April 11.— The Onondaga County Sportsmen's Club held ils 
regular medal shout this afternoon. The weather was flue, 
and all conditions favorable, making the lowness of most of the 
scores attributable solely to spring fever. George Holloway 
won in Class A medal with 45, winding up his score with 32 
straight. H. Duguid did some good shooting in Class B, scor- 
ing 42 J. Boyd walking off with the Class C medal without 
any difficulty; he scored 41 out of 50, finishing his string with £3 
straight breaks. Scores: 50 targets, unknown angles:

Rochester Rod and '.Gun' Club.
