Tournanaent at Sistersvillei 
SrsTEHSviLLE, W. Va., March 19.— Sistersville, W: Va., is a typical 
"Oil City;" business is on a boom and the city is the possessor of 
numerous attractions not easily found elsewhei'e. The grun club is 
Cbmposed of gentlemen of high" standing and influence, having the 
necessary means to do ariything to which they make take a notion. 
Trap-shooting in this State is decidedly on the increase, and is 
augmented by the friendly rivalry which exists between the Parkers- 
l-urg, Sistersville and Marietta gun clubs for supremacy. On Wash- 
ington's Birthday the Parkersburg cluh gave a one day shoot and 
now Sistersville has just finished a two days' tournament, during 
which $1S0 was added to the programme events. Parkersburg is not 
to he outdone, so they are now working hard to secure at least 8500, 
■which they will add to their shoot, which comes ofl: early in June. 
During the first day of the Sistersville tournament a friendly match 
was shot between a picked team of six men from Parkersburg and a 
like number from Sistersville. This restilted in a victory for Sisters- 
ville by a score of 119 to 108. 
A Writer on one of the local papers was so highly elated over the 
victory that he took occasion to deride the visiting team and add 
just a tinge too much to his roasts regarding the shooting qualities of 
the visitors. There is no question but what it was intended as a good 
joke, and no harm was meant in any sense of tbe word: but at the 
same time the matter should have been handled more skillfully. 
The grounds of the Sistersville Bod and Gun Club are situated on a 
very high eminence halfway up a steep bill which lies west of the 
city. The plateau is reached by ascending a long flight of steps, 
which invariably caused a goneness to overcome those who were 
brove enough to attempt to ascend them. The club house, board 
walks, screens and other accommodations are faultless and strictly 
up to date in every respect. The shooters face directly east, the 
background beitig composed of the remaining half of the hill (or 
taouhtain) referred to. To the right it slopes down and in all direc- 
tions can be seen the tall oil derricks and power houses. It is a busy 
scene, and by turning around to the ■west one witnesses a picture 
which can never be forgotten. Far below lie hundreds of oil wells, 
forming a continuous line as far as the eye can see, and even 
then only a very slight conception of this vast industi-y can 
be formed. Among the visitors from out of town were R. S. Waddell 
and R L. Trimble, of Cincinnati, representing the Du Pont and Haz- 
ard Smokeless powderj J. H. Mackie, also of Cincfnaati, represent- 
ing the Peters Cartridge and King Powder companies; H. E. Norton, 
of Ironton, O., who so ably looked after the interests of the Winches- 
ter Repeating Arms Co.; F. D. Alkire, of Woodlyn, O.; J. E. Wrigbt, 
Wheelings J. G. Gall, Martin's Ferry, O.: C. E. Verges, Lowell; P. S. 
Schlicher and Geo. AiCord, Marietta; F. E. Mallory, L. Stephens, J. 
E. Mallory, L. J. Epstein. 8. T. Mallory and Kobt. Clarke, of Parkers- 
bm-g; D. A. McGillis, St. Mary's; T. S. Bibbee, Elba, O.; and A. H. 
Donnolly, of Fairmount. Mr. Mackie was doing good work for King's 
Smokeless, and made many friends. R. L. Trimble won first aver- 
age, J. F. Mallory second, and F. D. Alkire ihird; Of the 25 contest- 
8 nts participating, over 20 used Du Pont Smokeless loaded iQ the 
Leader case. Following are the scores iu full:

Martih P.— A liVe-bird shoot was held to-day on the grodnds of the 
Rochester Rod and Gim Club. Mr. Sioi Glover managed the shoot, 
everything passing ofiC without a hitch of any kind that could be laid 
to the management. The only drawback was the weather, rain set- 
ting in early in the day and continuing to fall almost through the 
entire shoot. Under the conditions the birds could not be good ones, 
and the scare ropes had to be ilsed on nearly every bird. Harry 
Whitney and Glover scored every bird they shot at; Glover shot at 41 
and Whitney at 27. Among the shooters were E. C, Burkhardt, of 
Buffalo; G. A. Mosher and Hiram Bingham, of Syracuse; H. B. Whit- 
ney, of Phelps, and several members of the home club. Scores were:

All Fools' Day at Peekskill. 
A PARTY of seven shooters journeyed from New York city to Peeks- 
kill, N. Y., on April 1, for the double purpose of having an after- 
noon's sport at the traps of the local gun club and shaking hands 
with the Peekskill boys. The delegation, which left New York via N 
Y. C. & H. R. R R, at 10:30 A, M,. was made up as follows: Ed Taylor 
W. Crosoy, Neaf Apgar, Tom Keller, Jack Faaning, Seth Clover and' 
Perd Van Dyke. The party was met at the train by some of the 
Peekskill shooters, taken to the hotel, entertained at lunch and then 
driven up to the shootiDg grounds. 
Other shooters present were: J. S. Taylor, Capt Wood, Harry Hig- 
gmson. Doc Stanbrough and E. C. Likely, of Newbnrgh;.Dr. P. H 
Mason, Jack Halsted, Fat, H. P. Dain, Hill, Snowden and Loder, of 
the home club. 
The menu at the hotel dining table was an excellent one, but the 
club surpassed this in its menu for the afternoon's sport:
