PROGRAMMES AND TOURNAMENTS. 
SOOBR VAN GILDKB SPEAKS TO THE POINT, 
Knoxvillk, Tenn., Nov. 2.— It was with great Interest, that I perused 
in your issue of Oct. 24 the best article ever published in the trap col- 
umns of theFoRKST AND Stream on "Programmes and Tournaments." 
In the following remarks on that article I do not pretend to attempt 
to set forth any brilliant or new ideas, but rather to arouse others to 
think about such matters for the development of something that will 
induce results for the up building of the sport of the trap. 
Gun clubs have been organized during the past two seasons all over 
the country. They are new workers in the field. Whether they 
"Cometh up as a flower and are cut down," or llee ''as a shadow," 
will depend largely upon the true sportsmen^s feelings of loyalty to a 
worthy cause, inducing them to work in their labors upon a basis of 
unity. 
HOW THB KNOXVILI,E SUN OtitTB GREW. 
To all new clubs thus organized a short history of the KnoxvUle 
Qun Club might be of interest. Also a brief mention of how the club 
conducted its tournaments and became "the inaugurator of large 
added money shoots," as your trap editor says in compliment to the 
club, 
The Knoxville Gun Club was organized in the spring of 1881 by a few 
enthusiastic lovers of rod and gun. Its first president was Dr. Matt 
G. McClung, than whom no truer sportsman and lover of rod, gun 
and dog ever lived. The club beginning with great enthusiasm num- 
bered some thirty members, meeting once a week. The medal con- 
test at the Ligowski clay target was a source of much pleasure and 
excitement. The writer well remembers a contest of special interest 
at a match of 35 Ligowski clay targets between its first president. 
Dr. McClung, and its present president. Col. 8. B. Dow, resulting in 
the score of 20 to 25 straight in favor pi our now honored and vener- 
able president. Twenty-five straight in those days was considered 
phenomenal shooting, as all the other boys were well pleased to make 
16 to SO out of 25. 
INTEREST BEGAN TO WANE. 
Like all organizations of a similar character, the interest in shoot" 
ing began to wane, until at the present time only some halt dozen of 
th» old guard are left in the present club. During these past years 
the club has had its vicissitudes of contentions, disputes and cliques, 
the most unfortunate conditions that can assail any club. But there 
were a few sober-minded members to take the reins of the runaway 
horse, and by gentle persuasion and good counsel for unity and con- 
cert of action the club was held together by the faithful few, reorgan- 
ized, blossomed, bloomed and bore fruit. It has gradually developed 
from the small club of '81, unknown outside of its immediate neigh- 
borhood (as many other clubs just born), into one of the leading and ' 
foremost gun clubs organized tor the pleasures of the sport of the 
trap. 
BY-LAWS ARE IMPORTANT, AND MD8T BE LIVED UP TO. 
Fast experience demonstrated the fact to the faithful few that to 
Bucoeed as a club they must have a complete set of by-laws to move 
under, and must make the members live up to them. ' Unity o£ pur- 
pose and coDCflrted action in all things" was their motto. The drones 
of the club were killed by the live working bees and the hive prepared 
to store the honey for winter use. The working force of the club was 
and could be relied upon to do what was apportioned it upon any and 
all ocoacions, under the direction of an executive committee with full 
power to act, consisting of president, vice-president, captain, secretary 
and treasurer. 
Thus organized, it bought a full and complete equipment, with the 
latest Improved traps and targets. It selected its grounds to give a 
background of sky for the flight of targets. As the marches ot im- 
provement continued the grounds were changed several times, until 
at last the club leased the present area of ten acres, reached after a 
delightful ride on a street car line that runs near it, thus avoiding 
walking and the carrymg of shells and guns. 
THEY GAVE SMALL TOtTENAMENTS AT FIRST. 
Here the Knoxville Gun Club labored and overcame sepmingly in- 
surmountable difficulties in the work of building up the spore of trap 
shooting Many small tournaments were given to the neighbori'.g 
clubs, with more or less degree of success. No elaborate programmes 
were issued then, only very simple statements of a club cournatneut 
of such a date with special contests to suit the views of the attending 
shooters. Medal shoots were the great inducemenc. Oharapiooship 
medals, both team and individual, for all sorts of things were the 
rage, but, like all prize contests, these soon lost their attraction aad 
the meetings began to dwindle in attendance and the 50-cents-entrauce 
sweeps at 10 targets were little incentive to produce a gathering of 
the clans. Then a 10-stralght was rare indeed, out the 6, 7 and 8 holes 
were always full, while a few 9 men were the heroes of the hour. 
HOW THEY CAME TO "ADDED MONEY." 
Matters progressed thus until the executive oflicers said that some 
radical change must be made if the interest in trap-shooting was not 
to be buried. What was required to create new vitahty? The idea 
flashed upon us suddenly: it was added money. The idea was "cussed 
and discussed" in all its bearings upon the question that a rupture in 
the family seemed imminent. Past experience had demonstrated the 
fact that to draw together the trap-snooters of the country it was 
necessary to offer some Inducement in place of the old system of 
prizes and guaranteed piirses. The members of the other duos could 
shoot targets then at 2 cents each, and were sickened of medal con- 
tests. There was no reason or incentive for them to go away from 
home and shoot the same old string and the same old system. 
Thus it was with much earnestness of purpose and some timidity at 
the audacity of the enterpise that the club fired a big salute and invi- 
tation to the shooters of the country at large to chase dull care away 
for a while and enjoy the pleasures ot a good, first-class meeiing and 
divide out among themselves <7ie t/ieji. enormous sum of $500 in cold 
cash added to the purses. The club had held one or two meetings 
with fluamnteedptirges, but the actual adding of cash to the purses 
was t-.neretotore an unheard of undertaking. 
THE "S500 added" todrnament. 
"How can we get out?" exclaimed the members. "We will be bank- 
rupt and a disgruntled club when this shoot is over," seemed to be the 
prevailing opinion. A few nervy brethren in the good old fold were 
put at the helm to steer the old ship through (as Brother Banks has 
it). Three members, tried and true, with full power to act, were 
chosen by the club. A neat, simple invitation, without advertising 
matter, announcing so many events of so many targets, and so much 
cash added to the purse of each event, were sent out to the shooters 
of the country. The cover stated prominently that $500 in cash would 
be added to the purses by the i?;noxville Qun Club. 
One set of traps, an old wire pull and "Knoxville blackbirds" (the 
beginning of the now developed bluerocK and empire) were used. 
They were manufactured here, and at a tormer exhioition were won- 
dered at largely. 
The arrangements to entertain the visitors were simple; nothing 
then that suggests the present elaborate arrangements; the club and 
shooters taking the chances of the weather, old 10 gauge guns at 
IByds. and black powder, with a few using "wood" powder "that 
cracks like a rifle." as the boys said, but smashed the target the same 
as the old cannons with the smoke of 5 drams ot FFFG and lJ4oz. of 
No. 9 chilled shot from the 33in. barrels of the 10-gauge guns. What 
changes meet the eye and ear at up-to-date meetings of to-day 1 
THE OLTJB CAME OCT AHEAD. 
Among the shooters from abroad are recalled Mr. Perry, of Boston, 
shooting a 10-gauge 82in. barrel gun and black powder, dubbed the 
Bain Maker, and others of equal shooting caliber. The meeting was a 
success both in attendance and pleasure, and also financially. The 
club came out whole as to the casn added, a small balance in the treas 
ury showing a nest egg for future meetings. This meeting gave the 
club members renewed life and fresh enthusiasm, and a ntw feature 
had been carried out to a suceesaful issue. The succeps ff the club 
was assured from this o% as all who attended the shoot went away 
pleased with the business conduct of the shoot, the fairness displayed 
and the treatment received at the hands of the club members. 
THE TOURNAMENT OF 1893. 
Now we come on to the tournament of 1893, when the club took 
upon itself the task of adding $1,000 in cash to the purses. A com- 
mittee of "the old guard" was duly chosen, consisting of three men, 
with full power to act. Dates were claimed well in advance, so as not 
to conflict with other shoots. The time was chosen to give the nicBst 
season, when rain was less abundant and early vegetables were in 
their prime i A neat programme was gotten our (elaborate pro- 
grammes do not pay); a shooter will read everything, anyway, in a 
programme — a few chosen friends among the shooters were written 
to to "talk up" on their travels this tournament of ours. The manu- 
facturers, ever alert to their interest, and seeing the enterpilse ot this 
club, cheerfully added their dollars when solicited for adveriieing. 
A modified handicap was floally chosen. It was left to a man's 
honor as to whether he should shoot known traps and angles or 
known traps, unknown angles. The expert, so-called, stayed in his 
class, while the amateurs, based on a sliding scale, 85 per cent. (17 out 
ot 30), went as their scores indicated for each succeeding event. 
Two seta of five traps with electric pulls were utiea. Rapid fire, 
squad shooting was adopted. Several improvements introduced in 
handling the squads and in the cashier's office were successfully tried. 
These are detailed later. Those who attended this meeting went 
home satisfied with the successful conduct of this great meetmg. The 
Bporting papers had special reports of the shoor, and every shooter in 
the country was aroused to action. They began to cast around in the 
cities for good timber out of which to organize a club and give added 
money tournaments. So much good was done by the meeting that 
clubs began to be reorganized and new ones to organize— in fact, a 
new era in the shooting world began, and the Knoxville Gun Club had 
assumed by hard work and enterprise a high standing among shooters 
for business conduct of its affairs and fairness to all, with courteous 
treatment. 
ANOTHER BIO SHOOT IN '94. 
Then the season of '94 opened up, and the club decided again to add 
$1,000 in cash at its tournament. The sliding handicap was dropped; 
the shooters of the country were improving both in quality and quan- 
tity, so that after much deliberation it was determined that all who 
came should shoot on some basis that was no handicap at all in any 
way. Each man should be the judge of his ability, and all stand up 
"flat-footed" and shoot on their merits. 
Experience in the previous tournaments had taught the club a few 
new desirable changes in the mauagement of shooters. A simple 
programme was gotten out, and, as formerly, the manufacturing 
friends of the club (some even unsolicited) came forward and bought 
advertising space, as they desired to show in a liberal way that the 
enterprise of the club was appreciated. It had instilled new blood 
into some almost defunct clubs, and had, by its example of progres- 
siveness, created unbounded enthusiasm in new club members to 
reach out and hold national meetings in place of local ones. 
knoxville's esamplk followed. 
May 23, 1894, dawned bright and beautiful. The congregation of 
shooters from all over the country was ready for the events and eager 
to measure their skill. The club had previously invited as their guentB 
the trap editors of Forest and Stream and other sporting papers . 
They came, they saw, and were conquered. Never before in the his- 
tory of trap-shooting had such a gathering of the "cracks" been got- 
ten together. All those who were present at this great tournament 
can attest its unqualified success. 
Then it was that other clubs, their members being present and see- 
ing and knowing the success, financial and otherwise, attending such 
meetings, began to realize that they too must add cash as an induce- 
ment if tliey wanted to hold large national meetings. Hence tihe "fix- 
tures" in the papers for the season of 1895-96 showed larger added 
money than ever before in the history of the trap. This was due to 
"the inaugurator of large added money meetings," as your trap ed- 
itor calls us. Small local affairs will not incite that degree of enthusi- 
asm like the larger ones. A shooter can stay at home and shoot tar- 
gets at 1 cent and small sweeps without the attendsmt extra expense 
of a trip from home, 
RECOMMENDS SMALL SWEEPS AT HOME WITH HIGH GUNS. 
Just here I would advise more home sweepstake shooting, if only 10 
cents entrance and high gun to win. Get used to shooting for money 
and to shoot high guns all the time; then when you do go away you 
will not think about "that ftS and the purse I will win it I make a 20 
straight," nor lose simply because you try too hard and get into an 
unnatural condition and position. Shoot just like you did at home 
and don't think about anything but "break that target." You will be 
astonished at your improvement in shooting. 
A NEW IDEA IN 1895. 
A new idea was talked of for the season of May, '95. It met with 
the instant favor of both manufacturers and shooters. It was as fol- 
lows: The club added $1,500 in cash. The manufacturers were given 
a full advertising space as supporters in the programme; there were 
twelve of them and they added $600 in cash. Then all the shooters 
who attended put in an extra $10, which made a total purse of cash 
added to the meeting of $3,000, The sum was large indeed, and there 
passed through the cashier's office in entries and added money about 
$15,000; divided out among the winners at thi:^ the greatest meeting 
ever held and the greatest assembly of the best shots the country 
could produce. First money in some of the events ran as high as 
$150. Glancing over the record of some of the f ortunates who struck 
it all alone (ohl mammal) I find: McDonald, ot Dayton, $150; Glover 
$140, Budd $117, Maury $85, Noel E. Money $86, Trimble $184, Easton 
$83, Mitchell $SS, Heikes$12B, Wagner $69, McKelden $69, Bartlett $68, 
etc. Many divides of anywhere from $20 to $60 each man. (Those 
were great days at a great shoot). 
SHOULD IT BE HARD SHOOTING WITH BIG CHANCES? 
The question now arises: Would a shooter rather take chances at 
hard snooting to win large money? For example, take the events in 
which McDonald, of Dayton, won $150 on 24 out of 25; Glover $140, 
first on 25, and Budd $117 on 24 out of 25 The purses were as fol- 
lows: First money, $140; second, $117; third, $93.95; fourth, $58.73, and 
fifth, $58.73, making grand total $468. More in one single event than 
some clubs add in two days I This is a question which I believe is open 
to debate, but with a preponderance of weighty facts that a shooter 
would rather shoot to win a large purse than divide out a small one 
and get less than his entrance. Ot course in the fourth and fifth 
classes ties will occur that brings the premium low, but if the added 
money is none and entrance small he has no chance "to get even," 
while the above gives him that chance. The shooters who attend 
trap shoots to-day are those who thinh they have a chance "to get 
even." 
Formerly they had this sort of feeling: "Well, here it costs so much 
money to attend that shoot. If I 'get even' all right; but 1 will have a 
good time and see the boys anyway." 
THE OLD CONDITIONS NO LONGER EXIST. 
The meetings of to day are run under changed conditions. A few 
go for the sport, but the majority go for both sport and to win and 
get even, with thoughts of "would like a little more." They know 
^they must shoot well to get even, and the consequence is at home they 
^keep up their practice and their clubs have regular contests for such 
purposes, and in fact offer premiums to the members. Keep your 
home club talent practicing by added money premiums and see how 
it brings out the boys the same as at tournaments. The large sum of 
$3,000 added money brought them from all over the country to our 
tournament of 1895, and there were assembled on our grounds the 
finest lot of fellows ever gathered together— gentlemen all in all, and 
one toward the other. How to handle such a crowd was a serious 
question. Many days of thought developed the plans now practically 
used at the large gatherings that followed those in '95 and '96. 
HOW "the COMMITTEE OF THREE" DID ITS WORK. 
The committee of three, with its chairman as chief promoter, was 
chosen. The questions before it were many and varied, and were con- 
sidered in about the following order: Get reduced rates on all rail- 
roads on the certificate plan; meet the shooters at the train and con- 
duct them to the hotel where special rates and headquarters had been 
assigned and post them how "to get around town;" introduce them to 
the citizens of our home; select a caterer for his known ability to fur- 
nish a good meal at 50 cents and provide comfortable means to rest 
the shooter while eating; give the caterer the privilege free to furnish 
a good meal (please a shooter internally and he is yours forever) ; 
issue a programme inexpensive, but neat, as it is a waste of money to 
put out elaborate programmes; give it to the purses if you have it to 
squander; state plainly that the shoot will commence at such an hour 
(ana mean it in execution and they will be there); advertise nothing 
but what you can do and carry it out to the letter; state to whom to 
send your shells; how to get to the grounds, and if on a car line, where 
the cars run. 
EQUIPMENT OF THE GROUNDS. 
Now comes equipment of the grounds. Locate your traps for a sky 
background and in one continuous line; place them down to stay with 
large screws or bolts; selectmen for traps, and appoint the middle 
trapper captain and make him responsible for good work and pay a 
premium for same. Trappers should take their lunches in the pit 
with them; provide a water boy for each set of traps. Select a paid 
referee for each set of traps to call dead or ring a bell it lost to 
attract shooter's attention to it and also scorers. Erect in plain view 
a public double score board, end to end, spaced tor 25-target events- 
ruled and numbered for same, and in blank "Event — , Squad No. — ." 
This is the record board and no change can be made from same. 
Have at the board a scorer, also on the platform a table and pad 
scorer who takes the duplicate scores, calling one to the other each 
man's score. Also have one man who takes these pads, checks them 
by the board score, turns them into the office, gets a new pad (several) 
in advance of squad entries, puts them on the other end of tne board 
ready for next change. Thus checked the record is very accurate and 
complete, even in so great a number of scores. 
Pay your men well. Don't let as a rule club members or visitors 
score, as trouble may arise and cause unpleasantness. 
LOOK AFTER THE COMPORT OP THE SHOOTERS. 
The shooter should stand on the ground, as it is easier to shoot 
from. Either a canvas or wood awning should protect shooters from 
sun in hot weather and rain it any should come up; thus the shoot 
could go on without interruption. Now place 6ft. in rear ot each 
score-peg chairs tied to a stake that is driven into the ground and 
covered wkh large wagon umbrellas (good sigh places for sale !) Rail 
off all this, including score-boards, etc., to keep shooters and specta- 
tors away, and allow no one inside this inclosure but contestants 
shooting and wailing. 
STAHTINO THE SHOOT. 
To start the shoot having three sets of traps and 100 entries: Num- 
ber the sets 1, 3 and 3 respectively. Commence on set No. 1 with squad 
No. 1 at the score to shoot and squad No. 8 in the chairs ready for 
their turn. Shoot through tour full tquads on set No. 1. When ifquad 
No. 5 commences to shoot (on traps JSo. 1) have squad No. 1 commence 
event No. 3 on No. 2 set of traps, and squad No. 2 In the chairs waiting 
their turn and continue as before. When squad INo. 5 ■oom«a''to'the 
score for event No. 3 on No 2 set of traps, then squad No. 1 begins to 
shoot event No. 3 on set of traps No. 3. Thus they follow around all 
day and each man shoots in the same event on the same set of traps, 
and has enough shooting to keep him going and does not wait around 
half a day. The squad hustler should be a pnan popular and good- 
natured, but firm. He should see that the shooter is In Ms chair with- 
out exception. To make 100 men wait on one man who is not ready 
is simply bosh. He must be there and ready to shoot when his turn 
comes, 
SOME GOOD BINTS FOR CASHIERS. 
The (Office work should be attended to by a quick-flguring and pleas- 
ant, level-headed fellow— a combination hard to find. The cashier 
should take in and pay out all moneys. The entry clerk should take 
the name and issue a pquad ticket properly numbered as to squad 
and position ot the holder in that squad. The shooter getting such 
tiokat shoots there all day. He then knows when to shoot and where 
to shoot by watching the public score board, which is a duplicate of 
event and squad number. The cashier should take all-day entries 
from each contestant. Any event not contested can easily be refund- 
ed on application: this greatly simplifies matters, and each contestant 
when he does not shoot must report to the office and get his credit 
ticket. The entry clerk can easily tell from duplicate pad scores in the 
office who shoots. No event should be paid off until after the 3d 
event Is shot. This will give the office work a chance to get ahead, 
and no time is then lost. The shooters would all do well to follow the 
example of a great many and leave their accounts standing, settling 
up that night or next morning If they have made or lost, check oiit 
or pay up extra for the next day's entry. 
DUTIES OK THE B.VTBY CLERK. 
The entry clerk should be a very careful accountant, as upon him 
depends a great deal for errors in paying out purses to winners. He 
should have a paper or small book marked each one Event No. 1, 
Event No. 8, etc., separately, ruled into columns (if shooting say 20 
target events) numbered 20, 19, 18, 17, etc., etc., at the head of each 
c-ilumn. As each squad pad duly checked comes in he places A in 
column 20,19 or 18, as his score shows on the pad, and so on for all the 
shooters. This gives a complete record to figure daily on three days' 
averages. If shooting class shooting, 5 moneys, it shows at once how 
20s or 193, etc., are in for 1, 2 or 3 money, and so on Over each col- 
umn place the net purse in the event; at the bottom of each column, 
each shooter's j»-o rata. 
PAYING OFF THE WINNERS. 
To pay off, either use envelopes or shooter's ticket showing his 
score and his pro rata. He can compare with , his own record, or else 
merely call it off and figure it up and pay him in money. If the 
Rose system is used, the Forest and Stream has ably set forth how 
to work it in detail By following these outlines, with changes to suit 
other ideas, we believe a shoot can be made a success. Remember 
one thing, tjie shooters make or mar a shoot ju9t as much as the 
management. Get the shooters interestsd as if it were their own 
shoot, and see how much better things move off and how smoothly it 
runs. Good feehngs are, beyond question, much to be desired, as 
your future meetings will depend upon how the majority were treated. 
There always will be a disgruntled few. 'T'reat tnese as gentlemen 
and they will be ashamed of themselves. It is human nature for the 
winner to be j.jvially inclined and the loser grumpy— all cannot win, 
but all hoxie to win, 
EXPENSES REGULATED BY THE SIZE OF THE SHOOT. 
The expenses attendant on giving a large meeting are proportion- 
ately increased; actual ground fixed chariies means $350ea;<ra money, 
so that a charge of 3 cents on targets is only right to help pay this, as 
all who shoot are deriving the pleasure and benefit. Besiaes, say you 
poy the extra 3 cents above cost of trapping on 20 targets for seven 
events, it amounts to each one individually only $3.80; but if 100 naen 
pay it, it equals $380 per day. Divided Into five moneys means that 
for first money, say 30 per cent.=f64, one hasja chance to divide or 
win .$9 per event for the putting in of only hO cents 
Now figure a little more. Say you have 100 men average for three 
days, shooting six events at 20 targets each; this would equal 13,000 
targets per day at 3 cent8=$240, or three days= $720, or just enough to 
pay twice expense, leaving say $400. Now ada $^,000 or $3,000 cash, 
less thisprofit; that is $1,600, or $2,400. Where is your money coming 
from? 
RAISING ADDED MONEY. 
This brings up the question ot raising added money. I believe in a 
proportionment to all who derive the benefit. The club, the shooters, 
and the manufacturers and dealers— all should contribute. Tourna- 
ments are not given for fun. They are now reduced to a business 
basis If there were no tournaments to incite practice shooting, clubs 
would die with the exception of some one or two members who would 
go out "just to see how it goes." The manufacturers and dealers would 
soon feel the loss in trade There is no doubt about this idea, as 
the enormous increased sales of amoiunition and guns of the last few 
years show. 
The club, of course, will gratuitously give its share and do all the 
labor for love ot the sport and entertainment ot the visitors. I un- 
hesitatingly affirm that the dealers and manufacturers are the large 
gainers and the poor shooter is the loser. A shooter is a guest of a 
club upon its invitation to come and shoot, the club making all ar- 
rangements. He pays all his own expentes, pays all his entries and 
takes all he wins, and stops at a public hotel. He is not a guest in the 
sense we understand it by receiving one into one's home, but at the 
same time he is or ought to he treated with all courtesy due from one 
gentleman toward another. Hence we say that a shooter or manu- 
facturer can be solicited to help on the cause for their own pleasure or 
profit in all good taste and all due propriety. 
don't GIVE MIXED TOURNAMENTS, 
One word more and we are done. Don't make the mistake of giving 
both merchandise and added money. Do one or the other, but not 
both. More (rouble can arise and m.ire enemies made over merchan - 
dise events than in any other way. A shooter likes to take something 
tangible home to show his dear wife and boys how he beat' them all. 
But alas! for the money. "Are you there, Moriarity?" and "Thus the 
world goes round and round." 
KNOXVILLE MAY SURPRISE US IN 1897. 
The Knoxville Gun Club may have a surprise in store for May, '97. 
Do the shooters want a shoot? How would they hke to put in each 
$30 to get up the daddy of them all? I would liEe lo hear trom them 
by private letter on the subject. R. Van Gilder,

Roll Takes the Du Pont Trophy. 
Baltimore, Md., Nov. 10.— The shoot tor the Du Pont trophy took 
place to-day on the grounds of the Baltimore Shooting Association. 
As a result of the shoot the trophy again goes West, George Roll, the 
champion from Blue Island, III., defeating B. Claridge by the score of 
48 to 45. 
Roll shot in great form, losing only two birds, his 13th and S2d birds, 
making runs ot 11, 19 and 18 straight. Claridge drew somewhat the 
hardest birds, but shot a good game race, scoring 24 out of the last 
string of 25. He made runs of 10 and 17. The official scjre was kept 
by Dr. Samuel J. Fort, Below in detail is the complete score of the 
match:

Saccarappa Defeats Westbrook. 
Westbrook, Me., Nov. 7.— An interesting team shoot took place 
this afternoon on the grounds of the Westbrook Gun Club between 
teams of the home club and Che Saccarappa Gun Club. There is con- 
siderable rivalry between the two clubs in this city; the shoot this 
afternoon was, in consequence, interesting from start to finish. The 
weather was perfect for trap-shooting. Scores: 
Saccarappa.
