The Interstate at Portland. 
Portland, Me., July 23.— The trip to Portland, Me., to attend the 
fifth tournament of the Interstate Association, given July 22 and 23, 
under the auspices of the Portland Gun Club, was one of tie moat de- 
lightful I ever made. We went by water from New York via the 
Maine Steamship Co. 'a steamer Cottage City. At Pier 38. East River, 
the starting point, I met Elmer E. Shaner, manager of the Interstate 
ABSociation, and Noel B. Money, of the American E. 0. Powder Co., 
en rauie to Portland by the same line. The boat was crowded, and 
though we had hired four berths two days before, we found we were 
unable to secure them. However, Elmer's persuasive tongue and the 
almighty dollar combined got us one of the steward's staterooms, and 
so we were able to pity the poor beggars who passed the nights on the 
floor and chairs of the saloon. We had such a jolly, cool trip, the sea 
air made us all very hnngry and very sleepy. I don't believe old U. 
M. 0. Thomas would have ever wafeed up at all if he had been with 
UB. It did U8 all good, and Noel Money, who had come on purpose to 
get rid of malaria, said he had not felt so well for months. 
We left our dock just above Brooklyn Bridge at 5 P. M., and steamed 
up against the tide, which was running like a mill race, past the Navy 
"Sard and Blackwell s Island, through Hell Gate, sit'ing on deck 
until we came to Fort Schuyler and darkness b jgan to close in. And 
then to bed with three blankets, and a sleepiuess nothing could dis- 
turb. 
Next day was deliciously cool, with hardly a ripple on the water- 
though an ocean roll or two made Elmer Shaner rather green about 
the gills. 
The only place we stopped at was Cottage City, Mass., and after a 
most delightful trip we passed Portland Head, and steaming up the 
magniflcent harbor, which is one of the flnest in the world, arrived at 
our dock exactly on time— 6 P. M. Mr. Darton, Mr. Adams and some 
other members of the gun club met us, and after supper took us 
driving behind a pair of good horses, and showed us Peering Park 
and the fine old city of Portland. 
Everyone you meet here talks of game, shooting, fishing and camp- 
ing out, so that you soon realize what a game State yon are in, and 
soon we have invitations to shoot moose, for the fall to hunt foxes, or 
to go after woodcock and grouse, that are in any quantities arcord- 
Ing to all accounts; while every other man presses you to come with 
him for a week after bass, trout or landlocked salmon. On Tuesday 
Elmer had the traps and everything all ready, and practice shooting 
was carried on all the afternoon. The grounds were in first-rate con- 
dition and everything promised well for a first-class tournament. 
Mrst Day, July SS. 
Wednesday morning, the first day of the tournnment, was glori- 
ously fine, and the opening event had 40 entries. Event No. 2 showed 
42 entries. The Rose system of dividing purses was in force at this 
tournament, and was voted by every one to be a great success. True, 
there were no big winners, but the number of shooters who partici- 
pated in the division of the purses and left the tournament satisfied 
With their winnings and that they had had a fair show for their 
"white alley" has seldom been equaled at any tournament. Justus 
von Lengerke. Njel Money, Louis Schortemeier (Schorty) and many 
others were loud in thefr praise of this system. I firmly believe it is 
only a matter of time until the Rose system will be generally adopted 
at all tournaments. 
The rule allowing any one to shoot for targets only was received 
with favor, although not many availed themselves of it. 
Everything ran smoothly, as they always do, with Elmer E. Shaner 
at the helm (we have become nautical), and every one agreed it was 
one of the best shoots they had ever attended. 
The trade was represented by S. A. Tucker and O. R. Dickey, of 
Parker Bros. ; TJ. M. C. Thomas, of Union Metallic Cartridge Co. ; 
Justus von Lengerke, of Von Lengerke & Detmold; Noel E. Money, of 
the American E. 0. Powder Co.; H. P. Collins, of Hazard Powder Co., 
and W. L. CollviUe and J. Panning, of Gold Dust Powder Co. 
The local shooters turned out in force and there was a good delega- 
tion from Massachusetts. In the evening the club entertained the 
visitors and took them to Riverton and Deering Parks and over to the 
islands in the bay. 
The first day, Noel E. Money, using E. C. powder and smokeless 
shells; Schorty, E. 0. powder and smokeless shells, and Fanning, Gold 
Dust powder and Acme shells, tied for first average with 90 per cent. 
The second day, O. R. Dickey, E C. powder and Rapid shells, won 
first average with 90 9 per cent. High average for both days was won 
by Dickey, with 89 5 per cent. Second high average for both days 
was won by Money with 88 per cent., and third high average by Von 
Lengerke with 87 7 per cent. Scores:

NOTES. 
Ask Noel Money how he can shoot wooden targets. 
Elmer Shaner had his hands full with "the awkward squad." 
Portland is a great place for drug stores, cold nights, sportsmen and 
good fellows. 
Justus von Lengerke talked ruffed grouse and Noel Money fox 
hunting the whole time; It made V. L.'s mouth water to hear that 
most anywhere within half an hour's ride of the city you could fiush 
50 to 100 grouse in a day. Gotham. 
Arkansas State Sportsmen's Association. 
Hot Springs, Ark., July 23.— The sixth annual tournament of the 
Arkansas State Sportsmen's Association, although the attendance was 
rather light, was in every sense a decided success. The Association 
really derived more benefit from this meeting than some of its prede- 
cessors, which can alone be attributed to the manner of dividing the 
purses. The system used was the equitable one, and this gave univer- 
sal satisfaction and was conducive of much good; for when the tour- 
nament was over few were out of pocket, and, of course, there were 
no big winners, yet those who shot well won enough to pay expenses 
and a few dollars over. 
In a number of events everybody got in for a place and each re- 
ceived more than itieir entrance money. This, of course, is only pos- 
sible where the added money exceeds the cost of the birds, which it 
did in every event here, there being $10 added to all of them but the 
trophy contests. As stated above, the equitable system is an excellent 
one to use where money is added; but when nothing is added and the 
birds are charged for, it would be very unsatisfactory, as no matter 
how well one shot, it would be a diffieult matter to keep even, to say 
nothing of the cost of shells, hotel bill and traveling expenses. Nor 
do I think it would prove practical at large tournaments. 
The tournament was held at Whittington Park, a convenient place 
and easy of access, though with a very trying background— a nice, big 
mountain covered with trees. The ground inside the park, which is of 
white clay, also added to the diflBculties of the shooter. The glare of 
the sun on this had the same dazzling efifect on the eyes as though it 
shone on snow. This handicap, and the fact that all of the shooters 
were somewhat rusty from lack of practice, accounts for the very 
low averages made. 
Trap-shooting in this State has reached Its very lowest ebb, and it is 
safe to assert that the effect of this tournament will be very rejuven- 
ating to the sport. At Pine Bluff trap-shooting has been in a dormant 
state for three years, but recently It has taken on new life and is now 
flourishing again. The weekly shoots of this club are always well at- 
tended; therefore the association acted very discreetly when it chose 
Pine Bluff as the place for holding the next annual tournament. 
Right here 1 wish to assure the shooters of the country that we will 
be doing business again next year, and that, too, on a somewhat 
larger scale. 
There were present, aside from the local shooters: John M. Pember- 
ton, farmer Dave T. Alexander and W, R. Duley, Little Rock; J. T. 
Lloyd, W. A. Leach and J. B. Spears, Pine Bluff; Wallace Miller, Aus- 
tin, Texas, and Herbert Taylor, St. Louis, Mo., representing the 
Du Pont Powder Co. 
Mrst Day, July SI. 
The first day was an extremely sultry one, and the bright glare of 
the sun was also very trjing on the shooter. The principal event of 
the day was the individual championship contest. This was won by 
. Q. W, Hughes on the fine score of 47 out of 50 He and Lloyd also 
tied on the high average with a percentage of 85 2. The others follow 
in the order of merit. There was $90 added to the purses, $10 to all 
but the championship event:

Second Day, July S3. 
The scores on the second day were not much of an improvement 
over those of the previous day. The weather was again very hot, 
though a heavy shower about noon cooled the atmosphere some. The 
team race for the Keeley cup created some little interest, and this was 
won by the local club on a very ordinary score. J. T. Lloyd led m the 
sweepstake events with an average of 90.3. There was $10 added to 
each of these events:

J. T. Lloyd shot in something like his old-time form, especially on the 
last day, when he reached 90 per cent., he being the only shooter to 
accomplish this feat. 
G. W. Hughes, "Old Man Hughes," as he is familiarly called, in ad- 
dition to winning the championship, also captured the §5 for the 
Jongest run, 35 straight was the extent of it. 
nately taken very ill on the morning of the first day of the shoot, and 
this accounts for his taking part in only a few of the opening events. 
His genial countenance was decidedly missed. John is a good jovial 
fellow and his presence always adds much zest to a shoot. 
W. R. Duley was shooting two kinds of cornshellers, a Winchester 
and a Burgess, neither, however, seemed to be the proper thing. Lack 
of practice, Duley, like a number of others, is what your indifferent 
showing can be attributed to. 
Herbert Taylor, the Du Font's representative, as usual, made a host 
of friends for his company and himself. His shooting too has im- 
proved wonderfully. When I first met him at the Atchison shoot he 
was making about 60 per cent., while here his average was a trifle 
over 80 per cent. 
At the annual meeting of the association. Pine Bluff was chosen as 
the place for holding the next annual meeting and tournament, and 
the following officers were elected to Serve for the ensuing year: J. T. 
Lloyd, Pine Bluff, President; John M. Pemberton, Little Rock. Vice- 
President; Paul ^. Litzke, Little Rock, Secretary, and C. N. Rix, Hot 
Springs, Treasurer. Paul R. Litzke. 
Shootings at Wopsononock. 
AiTOONA, Pa., July 25.— The second all-day shoot of the AltoonaRod 
and Gun Club for this season was held at Wopsononock to-day. 
The meeting did not have as large an attendance of shooting men as 
the club had looked for, but as the day was fine and the large crowd of 
ladies and gentlemen who visit this beautiful resort on every Saturday 
during the summer months gathered at the shooting grounds and 
watched the boys "break 'em" throughout the entire programme, the 
occasion was rendered most pleasant. Eleven events were decided, 
and, had it not been for a shabby trick played on the club manage- 
ment by the dealer who furnishes the shells to the shooters, at least 
half a dozen more events would have been pulled off. At 4 o'clock 
everybody was out of shells, necessitating a close of the sport at the 
time in the day when the conditions are the most favorable for target 
shooting on these grounds. 
This condition of affairs, however, will not occvu: again, as the club 
intends in the near future to handle its own shells, and thus avoid a 
recurrence of the predicament in which they were placed to-day. 
The greatest interest was taken in the medal contest, a 26-bIrd 
affair, for the club's gold and silver medals and a small entrance fee 
from each contestant. Booky and Clover tied for the gold medal in 
this race with 24 breaks out of 25, and in the shoot off at 10 birds in 
the next event they each scored 10 straight, making a total of 34 out 
of 35 shot at, when on account of the scarcity of shells they agreed to 
decide It at the next club shoot in August. Houck, a member of the 
Huntingdon Gun Club, and also a member of the Altoona Club, won 
the silver medal with a score of 20 out of 25. Scores:

Jacksonville Gun Club. 
Jacksonville, Fla., July 24,— In all probability Jacksonville will 
soon be able to boast of an "np-to-date" gun club, and from the 
, material now in sight there will be nothing in the State, or in sister 
States either, that can touch it. Home years ago Jacksonville had a 
club and some crack shots were developed, but alter a while the In- 
terest waned and it was allowed to die out. Since then many improve- 
ments have been made In trap-shooting paraphernalia, which greatly 
add to the enjoyment, and it is the intention to organize a first-class 
club and to purchase all the modern improvements, which. In them- 
selves, are suflicient to excite an interest in the hearts of all lovers of 
the gun. 
One of our leading sportsmen, who is deeply Interested in this new 
club, has generous'y offered to donate a handsome solid gold medal 
for the members to compete for. If the local sportsmen will but show 
the proper spirit in coming forward without being coaxed, it will cost 
the individual member but very little. 
It is requested that all those interested either call on or drop a card 
to Dr. W. T. S. Vincent, 317 Main street, and they will be notified of 
place of first meeting and time set for election of ofQcers and 
organization.
