The Peru Tournament. 
PBHTj.Ind., April 29.— Who said trap shooting was dead? Will the gen- 
tlemen who have been slinging ink right and left within the past four 
years in tue various sporlsmen's journals, explaining what has tilled 
frap-sbooting, and also those who have been equally energetic in ex- 
plaining how to revive the sport, please closely scan the names of the 
sportsmen who attended the "Amateur Tournament" held here yes- 
terday and to-day, and then say whether or not they do not thinlr 
that irap-shooting is a pretty lively corpse in this neclc-o the- woods. 
I am fullv satisfled that after they have carefully counted the num- 
bers and noted that the majority entered In all the events forboih 
days (or neartv all) they will find some of tlaeir pet theories knocked 
"galley-west." 
I am also of the opinion that some of the gentlemen who have been 
shouting that an amateur tcumament was never a success, and 
others who have been positive that a shoot witho'it added money was 
no tournament at all, and that no one hue the paid experts ever went 
to tournaments and shot through the programme, will realize that 
mistakes do sometimes occur. 
There is one gentleman to whose attention I would especially direct 
the account of the tournament, and that is Mr. "Paradise Lost," or 
Mr. "Lost his Entrance," or whatever his name is, who wrote quite a 
lengthy article some time since telling how dead this game of ours 
was. I trust that he will be convinced that there is one State in 
which she still flourishes. I wonder what some people will think of 
an amateiu- tournament where there was present m the neighborhood 
of 70 shooters, and where the ten regular events on the programme 
for the iirst day had an average of over 37 entries for the entire day, 
several of the events having 45 to 47 entries, and where th' first event 
on the second day opened with about 3i. nearly all of whom had par- 
ticipated in the programme of the previous day; and also where the 
sebond day bad an average of more than 28 entries for the twelve 
tegular events on the programme. A total average tot the twenty- 
two events on both days of about 30. This, too, at an amateur tour- 
nament, where there was not a cent of added money, no merchandise 
prizes, and where the only inducement to enter was the entrance 
money of ihe shooter. Oh", yes, there was added money too. After 
charging the shooters 3 cents for targets ihere was an additional re- 
duction of one-fourth cent for every target thrown in the regular 
events as an average prize for the two best averages, and there was 
still something left to the manag-emeat. This was a personal tourna- 
ment and the experts were barred. 
Toward the close of last season, whon a number of the shooting 
acquaintan'!es of the promoter importuned him to open the season 
of lt)97 with a tournament at Peru, and later, when announcing 
through the sportsmen's journal* his intention of so doing, he stated 
that be expected the majorily of them to fulfill then- promise to at- 
tend. He then believed they would do so, but did not for one moment 
think they would bring along their friends, but this is ju5t what they 
did. They were "all here" or nftariy so. 
On the afternoon of April 27 the trains began to bring in the shoot- 
ers from the more remote parts of this State and some from the sur- 
rounding States The first arrival was Mr. Ben O. Bush, of Kalama- 
zoo, Mich., closely followed by young Willard Ttioma«, of Logansport, 
who came in on the same train with that prince of managers, Mr. 
Jack Parker, who was just from the West, where he had managed 
the A'cbison tournamenl and taken part in the State toui-nament at 
Lincoln, Neb. At 10 o'clock P. M. the register at the Bears Hotel 
indicated that there was going to be a shooting match in this city, as 
it contained the names of such well-known shooters as John A. Flick, 
the crack one-armed amateur, of Ravenna, O ; Fred. D. Alkire, of 
WoodlyD, O.. just back from the Grand American Handicap; Mr. 
George Elliott and Fred. Cornelius (Smoke), of Rochester, Ind , and 
Messrs. Whisler and Kieley, of Marion, Ind, 
Wednesday dawned bright and clear, and the morning trains 
brought in Mr. A. Burnison, of Huntington, Ind ; Mes«rs. E. V. and 
Ol Wright, Charles and J. Rose, Uncle Jake (J R ) Bniner, A. W. 
King, Bret and J. W. Dewalt, of Wabash, Ind., and Mr. Snow, a very 
pleasant gentleman and splendid shot, from Brooklyn, O. These 
gentlemen proceeded directly to the grounds, where theypariici- 
pated in some extra events with the arrivals of the jjrevious after- 
noon and evening. The next delegation came m from the South on 
the L E & W. train from that section of the country. This train 
was very obligingly stopped right opposite the grounds for the con- 
venience of the shooters, and the delegation which alighted from it 
was headed by the Indianapolis boys, consistiog of the following 
members of the Limited Gun Club, of that city: Royal Robinson, 
T F. Parry, J. W. Cooper, E. H. Tripp, L. C. Griffith, J M. Lilly (S. 
Mark), H. T. Hearsey, secretary of the Indiana Trap-Shooters' Leaa;ue; 
G C. Beck and Dr. O. P. Bricton. Tnese were accompanied by 
Messrs. G. E. Bruner, L. W. Cumberland (Lewi*), Bngles, Wallace, 
Benson; the Apperson Bros, and Mr. G. Smith, Kokomo; M-'sirs. E 
C. and W, B. Cooly, Hilt Porbis and Byron Snel', Hartford City; Mr. 
Meyer Weiler, of their club, was already here visiting; Mr. O Proc- 
tor, Union City; Mr. 0. L. Bender, Muncie; and Mr. S. E. Voris, 
Crawfordsville, who has been a crack amateur for some years, and 
who was one of those who were entertained by Mr. B. S. Rice upon 
his recent triumphal trip to the Grand American Handicap with his 
team of Western cracks, among which Mr. Voris sustained his repu- 
tation by finishing among the 24s. 
When the delegation from the train arrived the regular programme 
for the first day was started, but the ball had not fairly started before 
the East-bound Wabash train brought in Mr. Joseph Blistain (Slow), 
Lafayette; M: . Pattison, of the Indiana Mineral Springs, and Mr. J. 
L. Winston, The other morning trains brought in Messrs. Albert 
Bussel, Leesburg, lad ; C. A. Brown and C. W Townsend, Ktjox, 
Ind.; and the "game" was on in earnest, though the afternoon trains 
brought in their con ingent, consisting of Messrs. Garland, Wave- 
land, Ind., a "stayer," and Squire Hosea (Bob White), Cincinnati, O., 
and one or two visiting spectators, who came to look on 
The grounds that had been secured were first-class, and were with- 
in easy walking distance of the depot, and just outside the residence 
portion of the icity. They were as level as a floor, with a background 
it would be hard to improve upon, and with«a nice carpet of gra^^s. 
Two sets of traps were used, aud were kept going from the opening 
of the programme without cessation, except for some unfortunate 
breaking of traps; until tbe entire tournament was concluded. But 
there was never a complaint offered by any one, and Jack Parker 
was everywhere, and under his direction it did nob take long to get 
things in motion again. The traps were set according to the W. G. 
Seargent system of three traps behind one screen about 8ft. long, 
and the shooting was done in squads of five men up, standing in a 
semicircle, as in using the magautrap. The system was entirely 
new to this part of the country, though I understand it has been used 
successfully in several of the Western tournaments, including the 
Atchison shoot. But it was very satisfactory, or at least if thei e was 
any complaint it did not reach the ears of Mr. Parker, the promoter. 
Something over 10,f!00 targets were thrown during the two days in 
the regular events, and about 2,000 thrown in the extra events and 
for practice. 
Two large tents had been provided for the protection of the shoot- 
ers should the weather prove Inclement (which it certainly did not), 
and a smaller tent was provided and set half way between the other 
two for the use of the cashier and his assistant, which positions were 
ably filled by Messrs. J. G Brackenridge, of this city, and O C. Head, 
of Moberly, Mo., who was here on a visit to his brother, the promoter 
of the tournament. Mr. Charles Clark, proprietor of the Clark Hotel, 
had charge of the refreshment tent, and served everythmg in first- 
class style. 
The refereeing was done by Messrs. Tim Dunn and George Wey, of 
this city, to the satisfaction of every one. Messrs. W. V Turpen, 
Chas. Lamrae (both old time shooters) and Leo Landauer attended to 
the scoring for both days, and it was only necessary to make one cor- 
rection through the entire tournament. 
The weather the first day was simply perfect; the entries large; the 
management by Mr. Parker perfect; and if any one failed to have a 
good time he has not been heard of here. The best shooting for the 
average on the first dap was done by young Willard Thomas, with a 
score of 157 broke out of 175 in the regular programme, closely fol- 
lowed by Messrs. Alkire, Grifiith, Snow and Tripp. 
I append herewith scores ot the first day.

Second Day, April 29. 
The morning of the second day dawned with quite a shower falling, 
and this, coupled with the fact that the weather man had predicted 
thunderstorms for this day, made things look a little gloomy. The 
promoter called at the hotel at about 7:30 A M. and informed the 
shooters that a large canvas could be secured and stretched over 
tbe score, thus enabhng them to continue the shooting at one set of 
traps. "Get out with your tent. Do you suppose a little rain is going 
to atop this crowd from shooting ?" was about all the satisfaction he 
could get out of them, and by 8:33 A. M (-ixteen men had paid in 
their S328 and were demanding that the programme be coram- need, 
rain or shine, as they wanted to shoot Three more shooters orrlv. d 
on the morning train, including Messrs Parsons and Leach. Frank- 
fort, and Dr. Deeds, Plyniouih. By9::30 A.M. every cloud had dis- 
appeared, making it another ideal shooting day ex^'eps that tbere 
was a Uttle wind. 
The entries did not run quite as high as on the first day, but the in- 
terest kept up until the last, there being as high as 30 entries in the 
two first events, which was high tor the day, and ranging down to as 
low as 16 in one of the 25 bird races, though there were few events 
with less than 20 to 25 entries. Some of the less expert shots (and 
justly so) concluded that they had contributed enough, and toward 
the close of the day were allowed to sboot for targets only. The pro- 
gramme was finished by 2:30 P. M , thus enabling nearly all the 
shooters to leave on the afternoon trains Those that rem&ined shot 
a couple of sweeps and the affair was at an end, thus closing what I 
have every reason to believe was the most successful tournament 
ever held in i his Sta:e, in point of attendance and continuance of en- 
tries, and one of the largest amateur tournaments ever held any- 
where where there was no added money, Mr. L, C. Griffiih, of In- 
" dianapolis, proved the best shot of the second day, but did not quite 
wipe out the lead gained over him by VVillard Thomas on the first 
day, for the geueral average, though only lacking 1 bird of so doing. 
Mr. Thomas thus won first average for Doth davs with a score of 3a3 
out of 3('5. Mr Grilfl.h was a close si cond with 33 J. 
Below are the scores of the second day, with the exception of (a 
couple of sweeps, the scores of which were not preserved;

NOTES. 
As there were 30,080 targets thrown in the regular programme 
events, the average prize amounted to $i5, which was divided be- 
tween Messrs. Thomas and Griffith - $15 to the first and $10 to the 
second. These two gentlemen were probably the youngest shooters 
on the ground. 
In sharp contrast to those two young men were noticed several 
gentlemen shooting right alon?, and at a pretty lively clip, too, who 
have all of them touched or passed their fiftieth year, and one of 
them has already passed his sixtieth These were Uncle John Whis- 
ler. J. R. Bruner, A. Burnison and Geo. C. Beck, to say nothing of 
Dr. Britton, whose age seems to be a question with everyone except 
E. H. Tripp, who says he has the record, and can tell to tne day. But 
never mind Partington's age; he is still one of tbe be.=it shots this 
State can afford, and is considered by many to be the most graceful 
shooter now before the trap (. 
The Ohio contingent —Messrs. Snow, Alkire and Flick came a long 
way to attend the amateur tournament, and certainly got wha: they 
came after. They are all o k. 
Dr. C. L. Thomas came up from Logansport on the afternoon of 
the first day and spent the evening wi h the shooters, but was called 
away by pressing business early the next morning. It is no wonder 
that Willard shoots well with such a sportsmfin as a father. 
The local shoote rs did not take a very active part, not having prac- 
ticed much within the past few years; they did not like to display 
their lack of skill before the visiting cracks. Some of them entered 
in several of the events until they discovered ihil there were plenty 
of shooters to make the affair a succtss without them, when they 
fell btick, and kindly rendei-ed such assistance as they could in oi her 
ways. 
A noticeable exception to the above was Mr, John H, Cavanaugh. 
Jack has been so closely confined to his duties as train dispatcher for 
the Wabash that he has done very tittle shooting for the past six 
years. But this cut no figure with Jack; he was proud of the event, 
glad to pari icipate with such a crowd of sportsmen, so pail his en- 
trance for both days and shot iu evety event, extras and all. He shot 
very well for one having so little practice, aud cculd he have gotten 
one" or two more birds in each event would have hardly been out of 
the money in any of them 
Messrs. Smoke and Elliott, of Rochester, Ind ; Pattison, of the Min- 
eral Springs, and Brown and Knox, of Knox, Ind , are all stayers. .J. 
Blistain (Slow), of Lafayette, shot through the programme the fli-st 
day, and was not so slow either, 
Mr John L Winston, the representative of the Austin Powder Co., 
was one of the two manufacturers' agents present. He shot In most 
of the events for both days. 
v-The winning of first and second average by Willard Thomas aud L. 
C. Grifath was quite popular with the spectators and also with the 
Bhooters, who wovy them both, Willard is well known to the gports- 
men of this and surrounding States, having been shooting for several 
years and in very fine form, but for some reason did not quite shoot 
up to his gait last season. He has a new gun, and he certainly hits 
theTi. Mr. Griffith, or GrKT, as his friends call him, is the managing 
salesman for the Parrv Mfg. Co , at Indianapolis, having charge of 
their business in tbe States of Kentucky and Tennessee. He is cOt 
onlv a crack shot, but is a bnsines.-! miu and a polished gentleman. 
The Limited Gim Club, of Indianapolis, was well represented, and 
their members made a splendid impression both with the shooters 
and the residents of our city. They were the founders of the Indiana 
Trap-Shooters' League, and were entiUed to the first annual tourna- 
ment of the League, but, being in a flourishiner conditfon, they pre- 
ferred to send it to some cH j where trap shooting interests has been 
a little latent. They will go there and vvill assist in making it the suc- 
cess they did this one. When thpy do give a tournament, every 
shooter in the S ate should make every effort to attend. 
Messrs. Bender, of Muncie; Miley an i Whicbr, of Marion: and 
Proctor, of Union City, are "stayers " Mr. Proctor was far from 
well and did not take part in many events the second day, but did 
wll during tbe first day. 
Ed Veris did not sboot the "pesky mud pies" as like he did the spar- 
rows last winter at Indianapolis", nor as he did live birds at the 
Grand American, yet his scores were very good, and Ed would be a 
hard man to beat in a race involving the three kinds of targets. 
The Wabash, Ind., boys did not shoot in their "at home" form, as I 
have good reason to know, but they made a splendid showing, both 
iu their scores and in the number in attendance. 'They have a fine 
club. 
The Kokomo Club; but recently organized) is a splendid organiza- 
tion for all that, and gets the fii'st annual league shoot. Toey wet's 
well represented, and with two such sportsmen as G E Brunot and 
L, W. Cumberland for president and secretary, they will surely 
flourish, and will make the State shoot a success. 
Bob White was shooting a strange gun and did not get up to the 
top. Better luck next time, or after he gets accustomed to her 
"hang." 
Al Bussell, of Leesburg, Ind., who is a member of the Warsaw Gun 
Club, was in attendance and took part in most of the events. Al is to 
give a tournament at his home soon and will doubtless have a good 
attendance, as he always goes to the tournaments elsewhere. 
The Indiana Trap-Shooter's League held a vpry successful meeting 
at the Bears 's Ho el on the evening of the 28th inst , but as that organ- 
izition has a fine secretary the writer does not wish to deprive him of 
the pleasure of r-p irting the same. ^ 
The promoter of this tournament, not having time and opportunity 
to do so in person during the progress of the tournament, now de- 
sires to extend to every individual (shooter who saw fit to attend, his 
sincere thanks and appreciation of his patronage, whether by partici- 
pating in one event t r ia twentv-five; and to several he desires to ex- 
tend his thai^ks for their kindly assistance in the promotion of this 
affair, which marks one of the rnost pleasant experiences of his life. 
Among them Mr. John Parker, whose name mentioned m connection 
with a tournament assures its success: the Limited Gun Club as a 
body, especially their most efficient secretary, Mr Royal Robinson; 
to the Indiana Trap-Shooters' League as an organization, but espe- 
cially to Its secretary, Mr. H. T. Hearsey, who would just about fit in 
Royal Robinson's pocket, b'.it who, as a sportsman, weighs a ton, and 
who has the energy of the 939. Gentlemen, you have my sincere 
thanks. 
As I have mentioned before, Mr. Jack Parker managed this shoot, 
aud made many friends for the King Powder Company and the 
Peters' Cartridge Company, two firms that he ably represents at the 
trap. 
The tournament has already had its effect on the shooting interests 
of our city, as several business men have signified their intention of 
joining our club, and it is understood that another club, composed en- 
tirely of new shooters, is being organized. 
John M. Lilly and Thomas F. Parry, of the Limited Gun Club, of 
Indianapolis, are a good-natured pair, win or lose, and they go a 
great way toward keeping every one in good humor if in their hear- 
ing. They shot several individual races in the regular events for 
Si, 000 (?) a side. Mr. Parry is the uncle of young Griffith, who won 
second average for the two days. Tom was satisfied, and just as 
proud as if he had won it himself 
About a half hour after the arrival of the Indianapolis biyssoma 
one was heard to say, "I did not know you were expecting the Princ ) 
of Wales." But it n'as a case of mis ak-^n identity. Instead of His 
Royal Highness, it was John M. Lilly John M says that he has not 
broken a straight since he had his whiskers "cut that way."
