The Binghamtoii Tournament. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
It will not take a great deal of space to report the Bingbamton Gun 
Club's second annual tournament, which took place May 15 and 16 
The management made just one mistake and that was a conflicting 
of dates. Our dates conflicted very seriously with the weather. There 
was a constant downpour all the previous day, and rain threatened on 
the opening day, which was not very propitious for visiting shooters. 
Nearly 600 shots in two days per man is keeping the popper pretty 
hot. 
Among our visitors were O. R. Dickey, Boston; Neaf Apgar, New 
York; Carr and Tuttle, of Auburn; May hew, of Utica; Stroh and 
Williamson, of Pittston, and Wheeler, of Syracuse. Appended are 
the scores. They are very good considering the high wind each day 
The traps were strung up to highest tension. All shooting was at 
known traps, unknown angles.

Multnomah Rod and Gun Club. 
Portland. Ore., May 15.— I inclose score and particulars of a live 
bird match shot on the 12th inst. The day was clear and windy. The 
birds were an extra good lot, made more so by the 5yds. boundary 
start and the brisk bre.eze blowing during the shoot. Mr. Monteith 
shot a strange gun, which punished him severely at every shot. His 
score of 20 is a very good one, and only for some very hard luck on 
the birds that dropped dead out of bounds, he would have put up an 
almost perfect score. He is a new shooter at the trap, having only 
shot 10 birds before in his life. However, he is an adept in the field 
and on the marsh, and with very little practice could give the Amer- 
ican Handicap a hard rattle. Mr. Thorn shot in his usual good form , 
but lost quite a few birds out of bounds, his friends think, through 
using too light a load in his first barrel. His second bird was lost 
through want of proper judgment. Mr. Malcom did a great deal bet- 
ter than his friend Bills had been giving him credit for doing. Bills 
has the reputation of being an Al sky-scraping duck shot, and was 
taking bets with odds on himself, but the score would seem to indicate 
that his forte is not on low-flying birds. Malcom had the satisfaction 
of asking him before the crowd "how he felt, missing birds before a 
large crowd," etc. Bills has been consoling himself with the idea that 
his lot of birds were particularly harder than those that fell to the lot 
of the others, but we think that if he will discard his sawed-off 10^ 
gauge and take up an 81bs. or less 12-gauge he may be able to make 
a better show at pigeons. 
Conditions of live-bird shoot Dear Portland, Ore., May 12: 25 pigeons 
per man; 5 ground traps; 5yds. circle around trap — all birds falling in- 
side of same lost: 50yds. boundary; handicap score; otherwise Ameri* 
can Association Rules to govern.
