FOREST AND STREAM. 
[July 4, 1896. 
The Pittsburg Tournament. 
The circuit of l^SB may be said to have closed on June 25, the last 
day of the tournament held at Pittsburg, Pa., under the auspices of 
tJie Pittsburg Gun Club. Following so closely upon the heels of the 
successful tournament at Cleveland, O., it was only to be expected 
that several of the shooters taking part in that tournament would 
make the ISO mile trip to Pittsburg and take in the Smoky City's 
shoot with $500 added money. And as a matter of fact the delegation 
that came on from Cleveland was a large one: RoUa Heikes, C. W. 
Raymond, H. E. Norton, Chas. Tippy, Ralph Trimble, Jack Winston, 
Redwing, Edwards. Charlie Grimm, Neat Apgar, Frank Parmelee, G. 
W. Sergeant, Charlie Budd, Ohauncey Powers, E. D. Pultord, Will K. 
Park, Seth Clover, A. P. Pope, A, W. du Bray, Dick Swiveller and 
Jack Fanning. J, A. Flick was present on the second day, being able 
to spare but one day from his business. 
THE GROUNDS. 
The grounds were very conveniently located, being actually only 
six minutes' ride by trolley car from the door of the Anderson Hotel, 
the headquarters for shooters. In point of accessibility these grounds 
were superior to any on the circuit, that is, speaking from our own 
personal knowledge. There are many shooting grounds, however, 
that are more picturesquely situated. 
On the wet day of this ahoot the aspect of affairs was not inviting. 
The atmosphere was charged with moisture and smoke, the sun fail- 
ing to make any impression on it. The rain too came down in quan- 
tities sufficient to stop the shooting several times. That was on the 
second day of the tournament. On the other two days, and also dur- 
ing the practice work of Monday, the sun shone down with a fervor 
tJaat was more than noticeable; at the same time the brilliant sunshine 
caused the targets to show up very clearly against the background of 
smoky haze. Taking it altogether (when It was not raining) the light 
for target shooting was very good, 
The arrangements were excellent, there being plenty of tents to 
shelter shooters from either the sun's rays or the rain. One tent was 
the property of the Herron Hill Gun Club, of Pittsburg, and all visitors 
were welcome. Another was the commissary tent, presided over by 
the genial Snowball, who dealt out meals and teetotal liquids at ex- 
tremely moderate rates. A third tent was occupied by the entertain- 
ment committee of the Pittsburg Gun Club, and in it the club kept 
open house. Aa some of the boys put it, the tent was "open to all, 
nobody barred." A streamer on the side of this tent bore the follow- 
ing legend: "Pittsburg Gun Club; Sandy McPheraon, Chairman; Com- 
mittee: C. M. Hostel tor, J. S. Mcintosh and J. H. Shaffer." 
A fourth tent was devoted exclusively to the housing of the visitors' 
guns, shells, etc. This tent was placed in charge of a trustworthy 
watchman during the day. his services beiag needed owing to the rab- 
ble of small boys, etc., who enjoyed the free show of trap-shoo*'ing. 
We must not be understood to include under the head of "rabble" the 
large crowd of spectators who dally watched the work of the visiting 
cracks and the locals with the most extraordinary show of interest. 
The way this crowd followed the "Heikes squad" and the "Indian 
squad" from one set of traps to another was decidedly refreshing, 
and. showed a degree of interest in trap-shooting we have seldom, if 
ever, seen equaled. Elmer E, Shaner, who of course ran this shoot, 
had made all necessary preparations for the handling of this crowd, a 
strong railing that ran the whole length of the three sets of traps, 
together with the services of two of Pittsburg's "fluest," being all that 
was needed to keep the crowd in its place. 
A favorite lounging place for the shooters was under the large fly 
of a fifth tent, the cool breez? that swept under it being exceedingly 
grateful after one had fired 35 shots with hardly a chance to rest. 
The cashier's office was made rather too small for convenience, but 
that was due to a mistake on the part of the carpenters who had the 
]ob on hand. Still, Fred Davison, the cashier, although short-handed, 
got through his work very satisfactorily. Shortly after the close 
of the last event on the third day everybody's money was 
forthcoming; all the shooters had to do was to step up and draw 
down what was coming to them. It is only proper to state here that 
the assistance rendered the cashier's department by the "lightning 
calculator" from Charlotte, N. C , John W. Todd, were fully and 
gratefully appreciated by the management. The work, too, of Will 
K. Park, who volunteered to act as press agent, putting the scores in 
a shape readily understood by the daily newspaper men, deserved and 
received the hearty thanks of the Pittsburg Gun Club. 
THEEK SETS OF TRAPS WERE USED. 
Three sets of bluerock traps, with Paul North's latest electric pull 
attachment, were used, bluerock targets, of course, being thrown. 
The regular programme events were decided on Nos. 1 and 2 sets. No. 
3 set being devoted to the running off of the extra events. .These 
extra events were: On the first day the lOO target handicap race, $■) 
entrance, targets extra at 3 cents, a silver cup, donated by the E. C. 
Powder Company, going to the winner; on the second and third days, 
four events of 15 targets each, expert rule, one man up, were sched- 
uled to be decided on this sec; Rolla Heikes, aa told below, coming 
out on top in these events on both days. The lOO-target race was won 
by John H. Shaffer, who thus won the E. O. silver cup. 
THE MANAGEMENT. 
Everything connected with running this tournament was under the 
direct supervision of Elmer E. Shaner. In connection with Mr. 
Shaner's management it should be stated that this tournament was 
in no sense of the word an "Interstate tournament," it was the annual 
tournament of the Pittsburg Gun Club. The error made by several 
papers in announcing this shoot as given under the auspices of the 
Interstate Association was doubtless due to Mr. Shaner's connection 
with that association as its manager. 
The entertainment committee has been mentioned above. Its duties 
were well performed, the various members of that body doing their 
level best to make all the visitors feel at home. Old Hoss (G. M. Hos- 
tetter), of course, was in his element, making many new friendships 
and renewing old ones. The referees were an unusually capable trio: 
Bill McCrickart looking after No. 2 set of traps, while Second Vice-Pres- 
ident Harry B.Mohler, of the Herron Hill GuaClub, and Secretary Lau- 
tenslager, of the same organization, rendered the decisions at Nos. 3 and 
1 sets of traps respectively. 
In regard to the work of the referees, Elmer Shaner had something 
to say prior to the firing of the first shot on the morning of June 23. 
Asking the attention of the shoot«r8 for a few minutes, Mr. Shaner 
addressed them in words to the following effect: "Gentlemen, we 
have secured the services of three competent referees, who will decide 
all questions of 'dead' and 'lost.' Although they are not Infallible, we 
know they are honest and we believe they are capable. At this 
tournament we want it well understood that 'the referee's decision is 
final.' " At the close of this brief address there were "cheers for 
Elmer." 
The cashier's office has been referred to above, so nothing more 
need be said on that i)oint. Ttie scorers, both blackbDard and mani- 
fold men, were as good as we have ever had the pleasure of watching, 
mistakes beinar very few and far between. It may seem an easy thing 
to score correctly, but to any one who thinks so we would say, "Try 
it for a single squad." John Wright, better known perhaps as Blinks, 
looked after the blackboards and put up the names of the shooters In 
each squad in a most artistic manner. Brother Bill McCrickart, be- 
sides acting as referee at No. 2 set of traps, was major domo and con- 
trolled the trapper boys. 
Coming, as it did, at the close of a succession of large tournaments 
which commencPd early in April, it was not to be expected that the 
Pittsburg Gun Club's tournament would be a record breaker. It was, 
however, a most successful and enjoyable gathering of shooters, and 
was the best shoot ever given under the auspices of one of the most 
progressive clubs in western Pi='nnsylvania. 
GENERAL AVERAGES. 
The programme of regular events called for 175 targets, unknown 
angles, each day. This made a total or 525 for those who shot through 
the entire list of events. Owing chiefly to this large number and. to 
the extra events on No. 3 set of traps, only 17 men shot through the 
programme. Fanning had the misfortune to have his gun break down 
on the first day, shutting him out of two events and spoiling his other- 
wise good work; his totals on the last two days of the shoot show 
what he is capable of. Bridgers, who shot up well during the tourna- 
ment, missed the lOth event on the first day. No average money was 
offered by the club, but the top-notchsrs shot out for place. Heikes 
landed in first place by the narrow margin of 2 targets over Parmelee, 
Fulford coming third, with Apgar and -Grimm tied for fourth place. 
Below are the general averages:

PREUMINARY WORK. 
As usual there was some preliminary practice work on the day prior 
to the commencement of the shoot. At 2 P. M. on Monday, June 22, 
according to promise, Elmer Shaner hid everything ready for the 
boys to try their hands at blueroeks. There is a double purpose in 
this practice work: it gives shooters a chance to get accustomed to 
the light and background, and also enables the management to break 
in their trappers, scorers, referees, etc. Seven events, 15 targets each, 
unknown angles, $1.50 entrance, were shot during ^he afternoon, The

FIRST DAT, JONES 23. 
The weather was extremely warm to-day, and it seemed as if the 
grounds at Exposition Park were about as hot a place as one could 
find anywhere. The programme was a long one; it called for five 
events of 15 targets and five events of 20 targets each, in addition to 
the annual lOO-target handicap race, a total of 275 targets. The length 
of the programme, and the comparatively late hour at which the 
shoot commenced, naturally made it well past sundown before the 
last target was thrown. 
The main feature of the day was the lOO-target handicap race, which 
resulted in a popular win for a local man, John H. Shaffer, who had 
an allowance of only 6 extra targets to shoot at. Out of his 106 shot 
at he scored 98, running his last series of 25 targets straight. Winston 
gave Shaffer quite a race, scoring 91 out of his 100, and tben breaking 
his 6 extra targets. In third place were Apgar (106; and A. H. King 
(110), both of whom broke 95. In fourth place came Grimm and 
Parmelee, each breaking 94 out of 102 shot at. Rolla Heikes, who was 
one of the two scratch men, landed fifth, with 93 breaks; Bridgers 
(110) and Born (110) tieing with him for fifth money. Fulford, the 
other scratch man, only broke 88 out of his 100. The scores made 
were as below:

♦ Did not shoot out their handicaps. 
By his victory in the above event Shaffer became the owner of the 
really handsome silver cup presented by the American E. G. Powder 
Co. At one time it was thought that Winston had tied Shaffer, but 
an inspection of the scores showed that Shaffer won the cup and first 
money by the narrow margin given above. 
REGULAR EVENTS. 
In the regular events some good shooting was done. Heikes led 
with 94.8. Apgar being close behind him with 94 3. Grimm and Par- 
melee followed with 93.7 and 92.5 respectively. Below is a table of

SECOND DAY, JUNE 34. 
A heavy rain that came down at intervals made shooting anything 
but a pleasure. The grounds were soaked, while the tan bark which 
was spread at the score became saturated with moisture, every step 
taken by a shooter making it worse for those who followed. The sky 
was of course overcast, while one or other of the surrounding machine 
shops belched forth volumes of dense black smoke and added to the 
general obscurity of the surroundings. Bcoreg were good, however,

THIRD DAY, JUNE 25. 
The morning broke with but poor prospects for a fine day, and 
everybody was prepared for another wet one. About 10:30, however, 
the sun broke through the clouds (both ram and smoke) that htmg 
over the city of Pittsburg and before long the heat became very 
oppressive. With a better light, scores of course ruled higher. Ful- 
ford and Parmelee tied for first place, Rolla Heikes being a close 
second. OP the twenty-three shooters who shot through the pro- 
gramme eight made averages better than 90 per cent. Below are the
