The annual meeting of the Interstate A^eocla+lDn was held Dsc. 17 
with a full muster roll of members on hand Thf* busi less tranjacrtd 
is given in detail elsewhere, as well as the manage^ 's rtpart. The 
statistical da'a referred to by the manager in that report were given In 
f utl in our issue ot Nov. 23, The most pi ^asing thiorf a-jouc the woole 
meeting was the long list of applications foi- tournaments in lb97 read 
by the manager, the length ot the list being a sirlsidg proof of the 
esteem in waich tha A-<s )ci iti )n i^ held Dy Che trap- h jotinu world. 
It will be noticed ihat P rtland. Me., and Burliagton. Vo , are anxious 
to have the Interstate with them again next yeir, their tournaments 
this season having evidently been entirely satUfactory. I i all proba- 
bility the plan of action for 1897 will be somawha', similar to that for 
1896, three months in the South and then tnree months in the East. 
During that time eight target tournaments will be given during the 
Season of 1897 in place of the regulation six tournaments in past 
years. 
Jack Winston had an easy victory over George Roll in the contest 
for the Du Pont trophy at Watson's Park, Tiiesday, Drc 15. The 
score of 91 to 84 slio.v8 that Winston wa^ in wonderful form, or else 
that Roll was unable to locate his birds. Before \Vinston started for 
Chicago he told us that he had heard that thi3 Chicago people were 
going to run him out of the windy City by reason of weigbt of money 
and number of uuaicbes offered him. ''Just natch me," said Winstoa, 
'Til be ruuning, but it'll oe after tha other fellows " Id is a curious 
fact, but neverthele-ia it's true, once let it be known that some good 
shot is going to Chicago, and we at once hear of any quantity of mon^-y 
wailing to cover his challenge or to cballeng- him »ith. Yet 
the m 'Untaln in such heavy ti avail nearly always brings forth some 
little mouse I 
On Dec. 15, the same day that Winston and RiU were settiinsr their 
little controversy at Wawon's Park as to wtio should possess the Du 
Pont trophy, Dr. Williamson and George Del'er, of ililw-u'tej, Wis., 
•were busiiy engaged f hooting off their tie of 176 oucof 200 recorded on 
Dec. 3 Tne matcn on Dec 15 was also at 200 birds, but tne scores on 
that occasim were something phenomenal, VVilllamson scoring 191 
out of his 200 to IBS by Ueiter. This ii p'-nbably a record score for 
the tumaer of birds shot at, Tne nearest approach to anythi ig of 
the kind was the score in the Murphy-Morfey at the Hollywood 
grounds on Aug. ti6 of this year; Murphy on that occation scort d 188 
to Jlorfey's 130 Ic sQou d, hiwevor. oe remembered tnat the boua 
dary at Hollywood is only about 18yds. from tha end traps, and mat 
,the birds were a selected lot trapped and handled by Gilbert, ot Phl'a- 
delphla. 
The Clover-Pope tournament at live birds and targets, mentioned In 
"Drivers and Twisters" of our issue of Dec. 13, will tane place at Mas- 
sassauga Point, Erie City, Pa., Jan. 12-14 according to acommunioa- 
tion on this matter received from S>»th Clover and A. P Pope. Added 
money and merchandise prizes, In addition to a fl jwot humorous say- 
ings from Mr. Clover, will be the a'tr ictions. It would seem advis- 
able that some arrangement be quickly come to between these gentle- 
men and the management of ttie Audubon Park shouting g> ounds, 
Buffalo, N Y., with a view to a.volding a clashing ot dates. Aa mat- 
ters stand, both tournaments are set for the sauie dates. 
E. D Fulford has challengfd Jim Elliott for the Kansas City S/or 
cup and SlOO a side. The challenge was made with a proviso that 
the holder, E liott, should not n quire the challenger to no to Kansas 
Oity or any Western point to shoot ihe match. Jim showed his cour- 
tesy and Ilia wlllinpneps to let anybody have a go at the cup t'y ac- 
c*p:lng Fulford's challenge, poipting bis forfeit, and naming Dexter 
ParK and Deo 31 as the p aca and date far the meetinjg. Tne match 
will be well worth seeing, as we understand, and special efforts will 
be made to secure good birds, and both men are shooting a great 
gait. Witness their hcores at Trenton on Dec. 3, made on Zivirlein's 
birds. 
Pleasure Bay. N. J., had a little picnic last week at the Elkwood 
Para erour.ds. On Dec. 15 Walter K. Patten, t f that place, easily de- 
feated Phil Daly, Jr., in a 60-bird race, Daly cjnced'ng his opponent 
4yd3. handicap. Patten won by 8 hi ds. as shown in the score cf the 
match, given elsewhere. On Uec, 17 Charles Woolley, also of Pleasure 
Bay, met and dtf sated Al Ivins in a 50 bird race, the latter being a 
strong favorite in the betiiog Ivlns stood at 30yds , Woolieyat aSyds. 
Each scored 22 out tf the (1. st 26, and then kept on even terms, in and 
out, until Ivins let bia47ib bird getaway, Wuuliey lauaicg a winner 
i with 41 to 43. 
The announcement of the San Antonio Midwinter shoot now reads:

Mr. C. O. Gardner, secretary of the Bergen County Gun Club, cf 
Hao^iensaclr, N. J., advi-es us ihat Mr. Thomas Bell has resigned as 
president if that orga >lz aiou. and that vir. George P. Griffl.hs has 
been elected as his successor, Mr. £, G. Horton taking Mr, Qrifflths's 
jnBition ot captain to the club. 
The Oil City (Pa.) Gun Club, the organization under which the Penn- 
Bylvania State Sportsmen's Association's annual tournament will be 
held, has made a wise move in changing Its dates from May 11-14 to 
the fourth week In June, the week immediatelv following Ihe Cleve- 
land tournament. This change will enable the shooters to take in the 
Cleveland shoot and then have only a jump of 132 miles to Oil City. 
If an interesting open-to-all programme is prepared, in addition to 
State events, i ill City can expect a good delegation of outsiders under 
toe new conditions as to dales. 
John L Winston is certainly making the figures of 1, 4 and 7 well 
known in the trap-shooting world. While he was East he had a more 
than ordinarily successful career; but he has started right in at Chi 
oago in tuch a manner that it seems highly improbable he'll be "run 
out of Chicago" under a month at the earliest. His match with Fred 
Gilbert and his other matches with Dr. Carver will make It a busy 
week for him. The terms ot hia match with Gilbert are interesting: 
100 targets, expert rule, and 100 live birds; total sum to count. 
The match between Carver and Grimm f jr the cast-iron medsl will 
be one ot the most interesting faaiu-»8ot the closiug days of 1896. 
Al hou^h Charlie Grimm has not oeen doing mu'ih shooting in puiiic

be a very popular ooe, as "Moon'ace, the gqui'v man," the second

The Next Contest for the Du Pont Trophy. 
mosbkr's challbnqk bbcognized. 
Just before Winston stepped to the score to kill his last bird in the 
match wiih George Roll for the Du Pont trophy on December 16. he 
turned from the pcore and said to the repreSfUtative ot Forest and 
Stream, in the pre ence of thoce who were standing around: "1 wish 
to put up in the hands of Forest and Stream 825 forfeit to bind the 
challengH of George A. Mosher, of Syracuse, N- V ." 
The posting ot a forfeit to bind a match on behalf of another with 
one's self nftLuraliy called forth some ra'her strong criticism, and laid 
the groundwork for aome suspicion that Mr Winston was trying to 
block the game for anybody else. So far from doing so, however, 
Mr. Winston was merely carrying out a request made to him by Mr. 
Mosher in course of some conversation between the two while in New 
York. 
In this connection we give a telegram from President Lent, of the 
Aus ill Powder t o., to Mr. Wi ston: 
"Cleveland, O , Di'c. 16, 1695 —John L Winston, Gore's Hotel, Chi- 
cago: Kii e wu-es, -Have you challenge Mosher, ciyracuae, to Winatonf 
Answer quick ' We reply, 'Yes, we pLEsess the defy embodied in let- 
ter to Winston conditional on his defeating Roil, maUlng torleit to 
follow advice of uucre-s. A. Lent.''' 
A letter written to Mr. Hough oy Mr. Mosher, Syracuse, Dec. 17, says: 
"When Mr. Winston was East a mouth or ho ego abootint; matches, I 
told him that if he won from Roll I would challenge him for the cup, 
but tiiat 1 did not care to challenge the winner of tie contest. 1 am 
anxious to shuot Wii-ston a match for that trophy, and expect a let- 
ter from h m to day advisiag Just what be has done" 
From the above telegram irom the Austin Powder Co. and from 
Mr. Mosher's letter, it w 11 be seen that Mr. Winston in posiint; the 
foif it was ouly pc formiog a dnty imposed upon nim bya f lend who 
wanitd to have a go «t him if he (.Winston) waa suuceaaful in defeat- 
ing the then hi^Jdtjr of the cup. 
Ui f jriucately, in posting the forfeit to bind the challenge, Mr. 
Mosher had overlooked one t £ the rules binding all challenges for the 
trophy. That rule reads: "E, I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. to be 
notified by challecger when challenge is sent, and they to name the 
ref a-^te for the ma.ch." 
(jf course, until Messra. Du Pont had received auch required notifi- 
cation from Mr. Mosher, the challenging party, they could take no 
official ccgnizance cf the challenge, and ic w aa for some days in doubt 
as to wheiLer the challenge wouid go The following tel6gram. sent 
by MesS'S E 1 du Punt (le Nemours & Go. ahnws, however, that the 
givers if the trophy have viewed the matter from a (pjrtamanlike 
standpoint and have allowed Mr. Mobber'a challenge to s>-and: 
"Aovise nothing bedone locauseill fueling. While Mosher- Winston 
challei ge is nut altogether in toi m, roif it has pasaed. We wouid 
r iiher submiL than to haveoontro>e.-8y. Plain understanding may be 
had ntxt time." 
The money is up in the hands cf Forbst a.nd Strsam, but the origina 
intention to shoot at O^eveiand canuut be can kd out. 
CANNOT SHOOT AT CLKVKLAND. 
The next race for the Du Po it trop.iy cannot be shot at Clevnland, 
for already the S P. C. A. has aiiaen lu arms against the proposition, 
and declared that the match shall not be shot there. Mr. Winston 
wh«"u seen to-day said that he would take the con teat to Charlie Zwlr- 
lein'B grounds at Yardville, N. J., and that the race would be shot In 
February, probably well oa toward the end of the sixty days' limit, 
and after his return from the Texas Midwinter tournament. He 
originally Intended to shoot at Cleveland, Jan, 15, as be would then 
be that far West on his way South. -

NEW tJTRKCHT GDN CLUB, 
Dec. 9.— The New Utrecht Gun Club held its final target shoot for 
the season of 1896 this afternoon on iia target grounds at Dyker 
Meadow. The pmall attendance may be directly attributed tc the 
condition off affairs as regards club prizes. In Class A alone was 
there any chance of a close finish, Piatt Adams having five wins to 
his credit, and J. Gaughen four; no one else wa^t near enough to either 
cf the above shooters to make it interesting. Event No. 1 waa the 
shoot for club badges, and In this event only three Class A men en- 
tered: Gaughen, Adams and A J Smith. The latter was shooting a 20- 
gauge gun and could not do much owing to the high wind, retiring at 
tue end of the 6th round. Gaughen won easily, Piatt Adams also 
being unable to locate the targets on account ot the high wind. 
Qangheo and Adams were thus iled for the Class A badge and had to 
shoot oit at 25 targets each. The tie waa won by Adams, who broke 
21 to Gaughen's 20, the latter losing his 25th target. It is only fair to 
Gaughen, in considering his five wins for this badge, to state that bis 
businena Interests absolutely prevent him from tamng part in any of 
the shoots during the summer. Class B prize goes to Dr. Pool, the 
secretary of the club, with eleven wins. Dr. O'Brien winning the Glass 
0 medal with ton victories Mr. Adams is thus the winner of two 
badi^ee: the club Cia ^s A badge and the Hegeman badge, a very elegant 
piece cf j jwelry. Mr. Adanos won the Hegeman badge with eight 
wins our of nineteen contests Scores to-day were:

Dec. W.— Several members of the Rockaway Park Gun Club took 
part in ihe club's ret^uiar monthly shoot held to-day at Rockaway 
Park. The targets are thrown hard and low on these grounds, hence 
the scores, although by no means poor, are not as high as one would 
expect from the caliber of the shooters present. Event No. 2 was at 
10 pairs; No. 12 at 15 singles, unknown angles, and 5 pairs. AJltbe
