Kansas State Sportsmen's Association. 
Kansas City, Kan., May 25.— The sixth annual tournament of the 
Kansas State Sportsmen's Association, which was held at Kansas City, 
Kan., on May 21, was a complete success from every standpoint. The 
weather was Ideal, neither too hot nor too cold; the attendance was 
large and enthusiastic and comprised all of the best target shots in the 
State of Kansas, as is evidenced by the scores. The shoot was given 
under the auspices of the Metropolis Gun Club, of Kansas City, Kan., 
and was held at Kerr's Park, the traps being located in the race track 
enclosure with an excellent background and on a level with the score. 
In all the events Empire targets were used The management was 
ably assisted by Mr. Al Bennett, of Emporia, Kan. The events were 
run off and the targets pulverized with the regularity and precision 
of clock work. 
The annual business meeting and election of officers was held on 
Tuesday evening, May 21, and it was decided to hold the seventh 
annual tournamentat Frankfort, Kan., 1896 The following gentlemen 
were elected officers for the ensuing year. Pres., Dr. M. A. Brawley, 
ot Frankfort; First "Vice-Pres. , W. W. Mcllhany, of Weir City; Second 
Vice-Pres., 0. J. Weis. of Frankfort; Third Vice-Pres., N. Smook, of 
Kansas City; Fourth Vice-Pres., D. W. Edwards, of Severance; Fifth 
Vice-Pres , B. L. Deibert, of Topeka; Sec'y, W. J. Gregg, of Frankfort; 
and Treas., Geo. W. Jenkins, of Wamego. 
An amendment to the by-laws, relative to membership and dues in 
the Association, was adopted and is as follows: 
"Any regularly organized club in the State of Kansas may become a 
member of this Association by paying a membership fee of $5, and 
any sportsman residing in the State by paying a membership fee of 
$1, if there be no club in or near the city where he resides or the same 
be not a member of this Association. Each club which is a member of 
this Association shall pay as its annual dues hereto the sum of $1 per 
annum, and in addition to such amount shall pay the further sum of 
10 cents per capita for each of its individual members; no club, how- 
ever, shall be subject to the payment of any dues for the year In 
which it becomes a member of this Association. The dues of in- 
dividual members of this Association shall be 50 cents per annum. 
All such moneys shall be used to defray the expenses of this Associa- 
tion and all members of clubs in arrears for dues will be debarred 
from the privileges thereof 1 ' 
A partial list of the out-of-town shooters follows, and may well be 
headed with Louis Erhardt, of Atchison, Kan., without whose genial 
presence what Kansas shoot could be called an entire success? E.

Kan. A goodly number of Kansas City, Mo., shooters were also con- 
stantly on hand, and helped to make l he targets go, as well as some 
Sedalia shooters, whose names I neglected to secure. Ti e home 
shooters nobly supported the management and stayed in like vet- 
erans. 
The events of principal interest were the contest for the handsome 
gold medal emblematic of the individual championship or the State of 
Kansas, and the team shoot for the Kansas City Times cup, emblem- 
atic of the team championship of the Association for 1895. The Times 
cup was won by the Weir Cily team on a creditable score, in a contest 
with teams representing the Leavenworth Gun Club, the Ottawa Gun 
Club, the Frankfort Gun Club, and the Metropolis Gun Club, of Kansas 
City, Kan. The individual championship contest was spirited, and re- 
sulted in a tie between W. W. Mcllhany, of Weir City, and George W. 
Jenkins, of Wamego, on clean scores of 39 targets. Ten more targets 
per man were then shot, resulting in a second tie, when another 10 
targets per man were shot, Jenkins losing one bird and Mcllhany break- 
ing out straight and taking the medal on a clean score of 50 targets, 
which, taken together with scores in preceding events, made a run of 
something over 100 targets. Reust, of FraDkfort, captured first money 
all alone in the $100 guaranteed event on the first day on a clean score 
of 40 targets. 
After each day's programme was shot out, extra events were run off

South Side, Milwaukee, Eleventh Annual. 
Milwaukee, Wis.. May 31.— The eleventh annual tournament of the 
South Side Gun Club, Milwaukee's oldest body of lovers of the shot- 
gun, began yesterday morning at the grounds of the club at Lake 
station, in the environs of the city of Milwaukee. To-day closes with 
entries approaching 30, and to-morrow will show perhaps even a 
larger attendance, as a very interesting and varied programme, in- 
c'uding a citizens' purse with 50 valuable merchandise prizes, is 
offered for the closing day. The three days' tournament can only be 
pronounced a success. It was purely an amateur event, professionals 
being in>ited to be absent. The gentlemen present were nearly all ac- 
quainted person? lly, and in social as well as shooting features the oc- 
eision was a highly enjoyable one. Several visiting shoote. s were on 
hand from neighboring cities, and some of thes.e took away substan- 
tial honors from the Milwaukee boys, though not without a struggle. 
The grounds of the South Side Gun Club, which are about 7 miles 
south of the Union df pot at Mitv. aukee, are very spacious and pleas- 
ant, and of a nature to suggest an ownership prosperous and solid 
financially. There is a good comfortable hou e where the keeper 
lives, viia barns, coops, etc , also a. dining hall large enough to seat 
100 men, atd a very well arranged, roon y and neatly kept club 
house, i" front of whoRe veranda lies the shooting score. There are 
about fifteen acres of ground belonging to the club, all apparently 
carved our of the original forest, which g ows down to the roadway 
on the left. Theentire plot is covered with heavy blue grass turf, and 
the surroundings are thus always fresh and pleasant in the summer 
season The railway Btatirn is within gunshot of the club house. 
Only one objection is urge d against these grounds by the club mem- 
bers, and that is that the green trees back of the score make a difficult 
background for the target shooting. Still the scores seemed to show 
that this objection was more fanciful than real. The arrangement of 
tile traps is very good. Each trao has a sem'-eylkdrical cover of gal- 
vanized iron, which protects the trap when not in use. Whea shoot- 
ing is in progress the cover is swung backward upright on its hinges, 
thus forming a protection for the trapper. The electrical pulls are 
under the cover of the club house balcony. Biuerock traps and tar- 
gets and North pulls were used. Every arrangement of these grounds, 
even the serving of the lunch in the club pavilion, is of a sort to en- 
hance the comfort and satisfaction of the shooters and their visitors. 
The carefulness and system shown in the conduct of the South 
Side tourrament redound much to the credit of secretary C. W. Mil- 
brath and his able corps of assistants. The cash system was very 
prompt and satisfactory, and a great and well-kept manifold score 
book robbed the shoot of many of its terrors for the reporters. The 
South Side Gun Club run a shoot as though they had been giving such 
entertainments for a hundred years, ard the grounds and appliances 
of the club would indicate that they intend to continue djing so for 
the next hundred years in comfort. The club should receive nothing 
but comrllments on the neatness of its e eventh annual.
