Tiae Auburn Gun Club is groing to ititro'^uce sorae new features at 
the New York State shoot this year, tt has circulated among manir- 
facturers and dealers of sportine goods the following note: "Tbe

nhe Protection of Fish and Game, connected with which there is to be 
!a. four-days' touroatDent for shooting, which will attracta great many

Ralph Trimble, who is at present representing the Du Pont Smoke- 
less powder at sboots around New York, was shouting in great form 
at the Brooklyn Gun Club's tournament on Saturday last. May 8. 
Ralph and Remsen tied on 47 each out of 50 in the "stein''' race, but 
the stein itself was won by C. W. Billings, with 50 out of 65, J. H. 
Swan with l.S extras, counting up 41 breaks,. In the sweepstake 
events Trimble was well to the front. No, 1 squad in the first 25 tar- 
gets of the stein race made the following record : Remsen io. Brewer 
24, Trimble 24, Edwards 24, Fanning S2; total, 119 out of 125 from the 
magautrap. In its second essay, with a little more wind and more 
speed to the targets, the squad stood: Trimble 23, Brewer £2, Remsen 
32, Fanning 28, Edwards The joint totals were: two 47s, two 4es 
and one 44, or 230 out of 250, an average of 92 per cent. 
Mr. W. H. Sheldon, one of the enthusiastic trap-shooters of Rhode 
Island, who is doing a great deal of work to boom his favorite sport, 
writes tons as follows: "I regret to have to announce the death of 
Mr. Geo. T. Crandall, one of the pioneers of trap-shooting in this 
State. Mr. Crandall was eighty-two years of age, and has been 
closely identifiec! with trap shooting in Rhode Island since its infancy. 
He left three sons, two of whom - Wm. G. and Geo. J. - are well 
known as trap and game shots. The third son, Alonzo, has more 
than a local rpputation as a builder of speedy yachts. Every 
membei" of the Pawtuxet Gun Club will miss the kmdly face of a 
friend." 
As already announced in our Fixtures column, the West End Gun 
Club, of Albany, N. Y., will hold a shoot on May 18 at Its grounds, 
Colvin avenue, that city. To get to the grounds, shooters should 
take the West Albany electric cars at Arcade to Watercliet avenue, 
where conveyances will be in waiting to carry shooters to the 
grounds. The programme consists of ten 15-target events, $1.95 en- 
trance, the price for targets being 15 for 25 cents, deducted from the 
purses. The programme states that 10 per cent, of each net purse 
■will be deducted for averages divided as in the regular events, viz., 
4 moneys: 35, 80, SO and 15 per cent. All targets thrown at unknown 
angles, shooting commencing at 10 A. M. Horace B. Derby is secre- 
tary of the West End Gun Club. 
The second tournament oC the Connecticut Trap-?hooting Associa- 
tion will be held on the grounds of the New Haven Gun Club, Decor- 
ation Day, May 31. The programme is the same as that shot at the 
first meeting of the Association, under tbe auspices of the Parker 
Gun Club, of Meriden. The team race, of course, is the main feature 
on the programme. All purses will be divided under the Rose sys- 
tem, except in the team race, when there is an optional sweep on 
each SO targets (20 known and 20 unknown). Mr. W. H. Hazel, secre- 
tary of the club, will furnish any further information that may be 
desired. 
Parkersburg, W. Ya., should have a large number of shooters 
registered at her hotels the second week of June. The Blountain 
State Gun Club, of that city, as lively an organizition as exists any- 
where In the States, announces that it will hold a two days' shoot at 
targets, June 7-'', the Monday and Tuesday of the second week. At 
this shoot the club will add §350, a large sum as added money goes 
now. Elsewhere we give au extended notice of the programme, 
which has just reached us. 
Two well known faces were missing from the ranks of the shooters 
at Newburgh last week —Messrs. J T. Maseroft and V. D. Kenerson, 
of Worcester, Mass. Many expressions of regret (that were far from 
merely formal expressions) at the absence of the two above-named 
gentlernen were heard during the tournament. Both had come to be 
looked upon as fixtures at the shoots of the Newburgh Club, and both 
had formed many friendships with those who regularly attend these 
affairs. 
The Hill City Gun Club, of Forest City, la., has gotten out a pro- 
gramme for its tournament May 18-19. The events are all at 15 tar- 
gets, and the prizes to be contested for are both cash and merchan- 
dise. The management states that the shoot -'is no money making 
scheme, as sportsmen will see at a glance that the programme is 
arranged with a special view to pleasing the majority of trap shoot- 
ers." 
Mr. C. A. Tuttle, secretary of the Anaconda (Mont.) Gun Club, 
writes us that the thirteenth annual tournament of the Sportsmen's 
Association of the Northwest and the fourth annual tournament of 
the Montana State Sportsmen's Association would be held jointly at 
Anaconda, imder the auspices of the local gun club, June 17-20. 
On Thursday of this week, May 1-3, a ten-men team race will be shot 
on the Endeavor Gun Club's grounds at Marion, between the home 
club and the gun club of Freehold, N. .7. The latter is a strong 
organization and the Endeavors will have to get out their best 
material to do justice to the visitors. Lunch will be served on the 
grounds. 
Among the passengers on board the American hner Paris, which 
arrived at New York on May 8, were Mr. and Mrs. R. W. S. Griffith. 
Mr. Griffith is head chemist and general manager of the Schultze 
Smokeless Powder factory in England, and his visit to this country is 
connected with business for the firm which he represents. 
George S. McAlpin, who has of late become about as well known as 
any amateur trap-shooter in th" country, has been secured to take 
charge of the members of the Yale College Gun Club, and train its 
members for the coming three-cornered match with Princeton and 
Harvard for the college championship. 
It is a fact that the biggest kickers against the use of the Rose sys- 
tem in dividing pur.ses are the professionals and those experts who 
shoot purely "for thestulE." What is tbe logical inference? And is 
It anything discreditable to the only equitable system of dividing 
purses in target events. 
The company at Newburgh. N. Y.,,last week was quite warm. As a 
matter of fact, it is an easy thing to get up a hot squad around New 
York just now. Jack Fanning and Ralph Trimble help mightily 
when it comes to breaking targets. 
Tuesday, May 18, is the day set for the 100 target race, Sj entrance 
birds extra at 2 cent each, open to all, promoted by the Boiling Springs 
Gua Club, of Rutherford, N. J. There will be an optional svt^eep on 
each 25 targets, < 
Warwick, N. Y., one of the prettiest towns in the State, has just 
organized a gun club. Two of its members are J. B Ogden and John 
B. Rogers, both of whom were at the Newburgh shoot. 
The Bath (Me.) Gun Club announces that it will hold its sixth an- 
nual tournament on Thursday, June 3, at its grounds, Woolwich, Me 
Mr. Geo. B. Thompson is the secretary of the club. 
The programmes for the Cleveland Target Co. 'a tournament, June 
15-18. are now ready for distribution, A letter to the company will 
receive due attention.

Programmes for Coming Tournaments. 
MOUNT AJN STATE GUN CLUB. 
Early this year (he Mountain State Gun Club, of Parkersburg, W 
Va„ held a tournament, which, although almost an impromptu affair, 
proved so entirely satisfactory that the tlub seo to work at ouee co 
arrange for another tournament on a larger scale, claiming June 7-8 
as its dates. 
To make this shoot an attractive one, the club went down in its 
pocket, counted up its small change, and decided to offer p50 added 
money. Three hundred and fifty dollars added to the purses in a 
two-days' shoot is a good deal of money as things go now, and the 
club deserves all the encouragement possible for its enterprise. It 
need have no fears as to the number of entries ; the boys will come out 
in force and shoot from first to last, because tom-naments of this 
nature are few and far between nowadays. 
On June 7, the first day of the shoot (and Monday by the way), the 
programme calls for 150 targgts, sis 15-target evepts anij three ^0. 
target even's— at a total entrance for [the day of S15; $15 is added to 
each purse ih the IB-target events, and .$20 to each purse in the SO- 
target events The programme for the second day is precisely simi- 
lar. *ith the exception that the $15 added to the purse in event No. 1 
is donated by the United States (Gold Dust) Smokeless Powder Co. A 
.special feature of the spcoud day's programme U a six-men team 
race for State teams, all members of a team to be re.sident of the 
same State The race will be at 25 targets per man, $12 ner team, 
with 850 added to the purse by the Mountain State Gun Club. The 
purse will be divided into three moneys Rose system. 
Among the notes of interest to shooters are the following: "All 
purses will be divided under the Rose system; four moneys in the 15- 
target events; five moneys in the 20-target events^ All events at un- 
known angles. One set of nine expert bluerock traps with North's 
electric pull will be used. Shooting to commence at 9 o'clock. AJl 
guns and shells forwarded to Leon J: Epstein, secretairyj will be cared 
for and delivered to the shooting grounds." 
T)ai} CLBVELAND FOCBTH ANNXTaL 
We always open Paul North's programmes with a degree of eager- 
ness that does not make itself felt under any other similar circum- 
stances. The Cleveland programmes are nothing if not original, and 
every year Paul North springs something new itpon the shooter^ and 
keeps us guessmg what will come next. This year he has had made 
strenuous efforts to help out the novices and semi-experts of the 
amateur class. We imagine that his eflf or ts T^-ill meet with .success, 
and that the above sub classes will be well represented at his shoot. 
And the paid expert, the unpaid expert, and the semi-experts and 
novices in the prof essional ranks will ftlso be tbere; they will be on 
hand for business purposes. Taking it altogether then, the fourth 
annual target tournament of the Chamberlain Cartridge and Target 
Company sbnuld about show high watermark for the target tourna- 
ments of 1897. 
The principal feature that is new in this progratiime is tbe system 
of taxation of the manufacturers' agents for the bcueflt 5f those whd 
put up their own antes of all kinds - shells, guns, expenses, etc. 
Every event in which there is a sweej^stake has the same entry fee, 
viz., $3.50, whether it is a 15, 20 or 25-target event. The $2.50 refers 
to the noD-agent classes; for the agents the fee for each event is $3, 
and the eStra 50 cents per event will go to form an average fund to 
be divided among tbe non agent classes, being prorated at the end of 
the shoot among the members of the said non-agent classes, who 
have shot through the entire programme for the three days. 
As was the cise last year, bluerocks will be thrown free of charge; 
this would mean for a tournament of this siz3 a sum of Sl,000 or 
$1,500 prorated among those who shoot, supposing 3 cents a piece 
had been charged for targets. As the programme says: "We take 
great pleasure In inviting our friends to Cleveland once a yea.r, and 
in throwing for them all the bluerocks they can Shoot "at tor the 
three days of our tournament free of any charge for them, and in 
that way give them an opportunity to contest in the varioils events 
without the customary 'rake oft" for bluerocks." 
The first day's programme contains five 15-target events, two 20- 
target events, and one 25-target event, ol- a total of MO targets in all, 
the entry fees for all day footing up to $20 for the non agents and $24 
for the agents. In all 15-target and 20- target events there will be five 
monfys; in event No. 6. the 25-target event, the purse will be divided 
into half as many et)ual portions as there are entries; thus one-half 
of the entries will receive $5 each, the other half "nit" 
For the second day there are three 15 and three 20 target events, 
with the same conditions exactly as on the first day. There are also 
two yS-target events, entrance free, the prize in each one of these 
events being a watch charm, presented respectively by the Du Pont 
and the Hazard Powder companies. The only restriction in these 
events is that a shooter must use tbe powder manufactured by the 
firm presenting the badge, an optional sweep of S2.50 being made in 
each of these events, these purses being divided in the same manner 
as in event No. 6 on the fli-stday. The third day's programme is an 
exact copy of that set for the second day, watch charm races, op- 
tional sweeps and everything. It is also stated that no shooter hav- 
ing won one of the four charms offered for competition is eligible to 
compete for another, and all ties for tbe charms are sbot oil in the 
succeeding events. So much for the schedule of events. 
Expert fimateurs and all other non-agents must bear in mind that 
if they make a 90 per cent, or better record on either the first or 
second day, they will march right up the following day with the 
upper ten and poney up their $1 extra per day, just the same as the 
agtnt classes do. 
The most pithy part of the whole programme is the following defi- 
nition of what constitutes the "$4 class": "By manufacturers' experts 
we mean any one that accepts any compensation of any hind from a 
manufacturer of articles used at tournaments for his services in m- 
troducing these goods." 
We had noarly omitted all mention of the fact that all targets will 
be thrown from magautraps; and that the grounds of the Cleveland 
Gun Club, where tbe shoot will be held, will be open for practice 
sweepstake shooting on Monday and Tuesday, June 14-15, the club 
taking charge of all events shot on chose days. 
•The list of average prizes, which are in addition to the dollars pro- 
rated among the non agents as above stated, is a healthy one, and 
contains many valuable articles and some cash, there being seventeen 
prizes in all. And the "manufacturers' experts" are barred from all 
participation in those seventeen good things. 
The above will give a good idea of what Paul North and the Cham- 
berlain Cartridge & Target Co. has in store for the boys at Cleveland, 
June 16-18. If there's anything else you want to know, write to Paul 
and get a programme. 
The Pennsylvania State Shoot. 
Abodt six weeks have to pass before the annual State shoot of the 
Pennsylvania State Sportsman's Association is due. The dates for 
this tournamont are June 22-E5, and although there is yet plenty of 
time between now and June 22, the management of the Oil City Gun 
Club, the club under whose auspices the shoot is to be held, has so 
far advanced matters in the way of prepai-ations for the reception 
of its guests that it could, should it so desire, take things easily from 
now on until the word to commence firing is given on Jtme 22. But 
the club and its management do not seem disposed to take things 
quietly, and will leave no stone unturned to make the State" shoot of 
1897 the banner one in the history of the State Sportsmen's Associa- 
tion of the Keystone State. 
PBOSPBGTS FOR A BIG SHOOT ABE GOOD. 
And it begins to look very much as if the shoot is going to be a big 
one. So far, of coutse, wecan make no remarks on the probable 
programme of events for each day. No authentic copies of the pro- 
gramme, which IS now being put through tbe press, have reached us, 
as such copies are not ready for distribution. We can say, however, 
that these programmes, when completed, will be of considerable in- 
terest, as tney will contain much purely original matter. Oil City, 
too, is favorably located in western Pennsylvania, a great center for 
trap-shooting by the way ; it stands to reason, therefore, that we 
shall see many new faces at this year's annual gathenng. The "Old 
Guard" of the State will surely be on hand. Philadelphia and Har- 
risburg will both send their quota of shooters. Reading will also not 
be left out in the cold. York, Lancaster, Scranton, WilKes Barre, 
etc., will all send delegations without question. But it is Pittsburg 
and her immediate vicinity that we look to for the bulk of the shoot- 
ers at the State shoot; and a note in a letter we have received fi'om 
Mr. H. C. Reeser, secretary of the Oil City Gun Club, and also secre- 
tary of the State Sportsmen's Association, tells us that a round dozen 
of Pittsburgers do not intend to get left out of the shuffle. There is so 
much of mterest in this letter of Mr. Reeser's, that we will not only 
give the extract referred to but the bulk of the letter, as it will best 
serve our purpose so to do: 
AN INTEHBSTING COMMUNICATION. 
"By the way, the Pittsburg shooters have already engaged twelve 
rooms here at the Arlington Hotel for the week of the shoot and, 
jadgiog from this, the Smoky City is going to bo pretty well repre- 
sented. About four weeks ago I wrote to about seventy-five men 
who participated in the Grand American Handicap and inquired 
whether they intended coming here for the special event, as I was 
anxious to know what the boys thought about it, and wanted to fig- 
ure on birds. With two exceptions all the replies were favorable, 
and I expect not less than lOOeuiries. And why shouldn't there be 
that many? We offer the same inducements that the Interstate As- 
sociation did at the Grand American Handicap, and I would not be 
surprised to see nearly the same number of eniries. I would have 
written to all who were at the big shoot, but did not have the ad- 
dresses of more than seventy-five. Even suppose that we only have 
100 entries. That means $2,50,0 to divide, and surely that should be 
sufftcient inducement for all the best shots in the country. We have 
selected the grounds for the tournament and think that the visitors 
will be very muph pleased with them. They are about four miles 
from the city, at tbe famous sulphur springs and picnic grounds of 
the Oil City Street Railway, whose trolley cars rim to the grounds 
every ten minutes. It is a delightful ride along what is called "Deep 
Hollow" Road, one of the most beautiful drives m the country, and 
the scenery and surroundings cannot be exceUed. The shooting 
grounds are located on what only a few years ago were the best 
woodcock grounds in the country; even now those birds are quite 
plentiful in season, while ruffed grouse can be heard drumming in 
every direction, so that I feel sure everybody will be delighted with 
pyr selection. Qvir regtilar shooting grounds are altogether too 
small, and itiS impossible to get a desirable place nearer tbe city. 
The trolley ride, however, will prove to be one of the pleasant fea- 
tures of the visit here, as the service is excellent. The road is well 
supplied with lare-e, open;observation cars, and they make very fast 
tioie. Mr. J. L. Winston was here last week and appeared to be verv 
well pleased with the place. He said that some of tbe hoys had an 
idea that it was necessary to wear red flannel shirts and high boots 
here, so, f"r fear (!) that you may be one of them, let me dispel that 
Illusion. Wear the best that you have, and even a diamond or two 
will not be out of place. We will take good care of all the visitors 
and see that they are not blown uj5 with nitro glycerine^ run ovet by 
the <3ar*s or sciired by the policemen." 
LtkE THE GKAND AMER.ICAK HANDTOAP. 
The special event referred to by Mr. Reeser i-3 tbe 25 bird race, 
entrann-e, birds extra. $1,000 guaranteed, which will be commenced on 
.Tune 24. The monevs in this event will be divided in a nrpciselv 
similar manner to the way in which the purse in this year's Grand 
American Handicap wa's divided. This event will actually be an- 
other Grand American Handicap, as Mr. Reeser rightly says, and we 
do not think that he has placed his list of probable entries much too 
high. 
A HINT TO PENNSYLVANtA GUN CLtlBS. 
While referring to tbe prospects for Pennsylvania's State shoot, it 
would not be out of place to urge upon gun clubs in that State who 
are not already members of the State organization, to lose no time ih 
sending m their applications for membership. The, State issoclatiou 
has w/irked hard for the betterment of the game laws of the .Statfe; 
and there seems a probability of its efforts this year meeting with the 
success it failed to achieve in 18X5. Clubs and individuals should 
recognize, before it is too late to do any good, that on'y organized 
efforts can accomplish anything in this line. These words apply 
equally to every State association in tbe Onion. If the game is to be 
preserved from practical extinction, it can only be done by organized 
etioi-ts. And State Sportsmen's Associations are the be,sfc weapons 
with which to fight for the game and fi'sh of any and every State. 
Western Traps. 
ANACONDA SHOOT. 
Chicago, 111., May 8.— There should be a good attendance at tba 
tournament at Anaconda, Mont , June 17-20, for which the live shoot- 
ing men of Anaconda are already making pi^eparatidns. The cliib o.f 
that city will be host for the two big associations, the Sportsmen's 
.Association of the Northwest and the Montana State Sportsmen's 
Association, and the.event will bring together the flower of the moun- 
tain and coast shooters. Anaconda is a pleasant little city nestled 
among the big hills, and it is the home of an active and expert trap 
contingent, who are up to all the latest wrinkles in the modern shoot- 
ing line, as witness their adoption of the magautrap for their tourna- 
ment, with a full programme of highly attractive sort. In their local 
paper t.be shooters of Anaconda make the following announcements 
regarding their facilities, all of wbich is far within the facta, as from 
a oersonal acquaintance I can testify: 
"The facilities oft'er'-d by Anaconda, for tbe tournament cannot be 
excelled. The grounds of the association where tbe tournament will 
be held are within-a two minutes' walk from the electric car lines 
and which run a half hour service. For shooting purposes the 
grounds are all that could be desired, as they are a perfect flat with 
a good clear background. They are substantially fitted to meet aU 
requirements, with a commodious cbib house, scorer's .stand and 
cashier's office, and a seating capacity for about 300 people, visitors 
and spectators. No pains have been spared to make everything con- 
venient and up to date. 
"In relation to trophies and prizes, the club has practically arranged 
f&r $1,500 added money. In addition to the merchandise prizes, there 
will be trophies to the value Si ,000, the property of the two associa- 
tions, and consisting of medals, cups and badges 
"Among the trophies which will be shot for in June will be the indi- 
vidual championship medal of the Northwestern Association and the 
individual championship medal at reverse angles now held by Dell 
Cooper, of Whatcom, Wash. Another Northwestern trophy is the 
3 man team championship. The Hunter Arms Co. have loaned to 
the Association the Smith gun trophy, valued at $250. The Globe 
trophy is valued at $350, and will give an opportunity for one of the 
sharpest contests of the tournament. 
"The Montana State championship cup for a 3-man team will also 
be Phot for. It is now held by the Missoula Rod and Gun Club The 
individual bluerock championship for the State of Montaoa, now 
held by D. D. Twohy, of this city, will also be up fr<r contest. Among 
the other trophies is the Uve-bird chatnpionsbip of Montana medal 
now held by M. Wright, of Butte, and the challenge medal of the 
State of Montana, now held by James Conley, of Anaconda In ad- 
dition to these, there will be many merchandise prizes out up. 
"Tbe Anaconda Club was organized in 1893. since which time it has 
held three tournaments, and all of them successful .shoot«. At the 
last meeting of the Northwestern Association, held at Spokane, there 
were about sixty entries, and from present indications the entries 
this year will exceed 100, assuring plenty of fine sport. It is the pre- 
sent object of the club to make this tournament open to the jvorld, 
and sportsmen from all parts of the country will be heartily wel- 
comed." 
BUTTE BOD AND GtN CLUB. 
Almost withia^a biscuit toss of Anaconda, if you can toss a biscuit 
far enough, is the sister city of Butte, which also supports a fine and 
skillfully conducted gun club If anyone thinks these men cannot 
shoot he should watch their scores, or himself try a whirl with them 
out in the glorious climate of Montana. Butte Rod and Gun Club 
holds the Shooting and Fishing trophy, and to-morrow defend 
il against, a team from the neighboring city of Anaconda. The selec- 
tion of tbe team from tbe club was made last Monday in a club shoot 
which brought out a full representation of the membei-ship. The 
match was at 80 singles and 10 pairs, and was shot with the following 
result: °

known angles, and the following scores were made: Wright 25 An- 
derson 22, Waters 21, Walker 20, Cowan 19, Jones 18, Christianson 18

Mrs F. A. Anderson and Mrs. M A. Wright then shot at 25 birds 
the former winning by 2 birds. They made the following scores- 
Mrs Anderson 1 4 3 2 5—15 Mrs Wright 3 3 8 3 '3—13 
Mrs. Anderson broke her last 6 birds straight. Such shooting by 
ladies is very unusual. j;. Holtgh.

Pennsylvania and Ohio Border Gun Club 
Lieague. 
QRKHirviLLE, Pa., May 9.— Ths Greenville Gun Club has about com- 
pleted arrangements for the second tournament of the PennsFlvania 
and Ohio Border Gun Club League, which is to be held here May 20 
The shoot for the league trophy will be tbe most interesting event of 
the day. In the sweepstake shooting the programme will include ten 
regular events, all at 10 targets, with the exception of one 15-target 
race. Two sets of traps will be in operation and many special events 
will be shot. A large attendance is looked for. At las year's tourna- 
ment the attendance averaged sixty shooters; and the prospects are 
that it will be much larger this year. The sweepstake events are
