Shell Mound. 
Sau Francisco, May 10.— Editor Forest and Stream: Yesterday

The programme of the Eastern New York League tournament at 
Canajoharie, N. Y., under the auspices of the local Gun Club, on May 
31 (Decoration Day), gives promise of a good day's sport. The 
schedule calls for thirteen events of IB targets each, all at unknown 
angles, $1.50 entrance. All purses are to be divided under the "old 
system," 30, 25, 20, 15 and 10 per cent., targets being deducted from 
the purses in events 1-3 at 2 cents each; in events ''-13, inclusive, 3 
cents a target will be charged, the extra cent going to form an 
average fund. Shooting commences on the arrival of the morning 
trains from the East and West; no postponement being probable on 
account of weather. Mr. Chas. Weeks, of Canajoharie, is secretary 
ot the club, and will answei- any inquiries in regard to the running of 
this tournament. 
We have received the following communication from Mr. W. C. Pat- 
tison, of the Indiana Mineral Springs, Warren county, Ind. ; "The 
totirnament to be given at the Indiana Mineral Spring.s. July 5 and 6. 
Will be under the managetnent of Mr. Ben O. Bush,which is sufficient 
recommendation as to Ihe manner in which the tournament will be 
conducted. The Springs can be reached via C. & E. I. B R. and Wa- 
bash R. R.. Attica being our railroad station. All points on these 
roads sell return ticket to the Springs at reduced rates. Any further 
information can be furnished by addressing W. C. Pattison, Indiana 
Mineral Springs, Ind." 
Dr. John W. Bidwell, who has been president of the Winsted 
(Conn ) Gun Club for the past fifteen years; in fact, since the organ- 
ization of the club, died suddenly on April 19 last. This necessitated 
the election of another president, and Mr. Wm. F. Hurlbert. a promi- 
nent attorney of Winsted. has been elected to serve asjchief executive. 
The other officers are: Vice-President, Geo. W. Brown: Secretary- 
Treasurer, Wm. H. Phelps. 
Wednesday, May 26, is the date set by the Brooklyn, N. Y., Gun 
Club for th« 50-target handicap shoot for a gold watch donated by 
the club. The contest is open to all. Targets are thrown from a 
magautrap on these grounds, and the Brooklyn Club intends to keep 
Itself before the trap-shooters of New York city and vicinity by doing 
Its best to give its guests all the shooting they want and at as small 
expense as possible. 
The regular monthly handicap shoot for the Bergen County Gun 
Club's E. C. cup will take place at the club's grounds. Hackensack, 
N. J., on Saturday next. May 22, beginning at 1 :30 P. M. The condi- 
tions are: 50 targets, unknown angles, SI entrance, with optional 
sweep on each 25 targets. Sweepstake shooting will commence at 
10:30 A. M. The cup shoot is open to all members of the club and 
their friends. 
The Clittiax Gun Club, of Plainfleld, N. J , has made a change in its 
shooting grounds. In future the monthly shoots of this club will be 
held on the Crescent Oval, in Plainfield, instead of at Fanwood, as 
formerly. The first club shoot to be held at the Crescent Oval will 
be on May 26, when stages will meet the 1:10, 1:30 and 2:S0P. M. 
trains at the Plainfield depot and convey shooters to the grounds Jfree 
of charge. 
The Connecticut Trap Shooting Association's second tournament at 
New Haven. Conn , on Decoration Day (May 31) will surely be a popu- 
lar affair. The six men team race always insures a good crowd of 
contestants and "second string" men. The New Haven Gun Club, 
under the able management of President M. H. Clark, Secretary W. 
H. Hazel and Mr Bristol, understands looking after its guests, and 
will make things yery pleasant for those who attend the Decoration 
Day shoot. ■» 
The Peekskill, N. Y., tournament on May 11-13 was a pleasent 
affair. The company was quite warm, too; in fact, altogether too 
hot for any shooters who were not close up to the expert class. .Jack 
Fanning was out of trim, and shot away below his average, but gave 
the boys lots of amusement by carrying off the "booby prize— with 
trimmings"— on the first day of the shoot. 
O E. Dickey shot in splendid form on both days of the Peekskill, 
N. Y., shoot. His work on the first day was far above the average, 
while hia dropping 5 out of SO targets in the last event of that day 
was little short ot miraculous. The race for first place on the second 
day was quite interesting, but— blood will tell, won't it? 
At tbe annual meeting of the Forest City Gun Club, of Savannah, 
Ga.,the following oflicera were elected: President, C. A. LaMotte; 
Vice- President, P. J. Ott; Secretary, Harry B. Lemcke; Treasure!-, 
John Rueker; Captain, P. J. Jangstetter. The members of this club 
have been making preparations to give their guests a warm welcome 
at the Interstate Association's tournament, which is being held this 
week, May 19-70. 
The Decoration Day (May 31) prize shoot of the Boiling Springs Gun 
Club, of Rutherford, N. J,, vsnll bring out the members of that club 
in force. These holiday gatherings are always popular and lots of 
targets are thrown during the day. This means plenty of shooting 
for all. 
Areyou in the "84-class"? This is a question shooters are asking 
one another now since the Cleveland programme came out. Tbe 
question is one easily settled by the shooter himself, and Paul North 
expects no trouble in classifying the boys correctly. 
The programine for the Monroe, La , Interstate Association tourna- 
ment is noticed elsewhere. These Soutbern gentlemen apparenily 
seem to like a warm programme in warm weather. 
"Grimm, Gilbert, Buddj Heikes and Parmelee!" A warm combini-' 
lion, indeed. Tbe above were among the forty shooters who took 
part in the opening day's programme of the Waterloo, la , tourna- 
ment on May 11. 
Mrs. ITrank Class, the wife of Prank Class, of Morristown, N. J., is 
said to have killed 40 out of 50 targets on May 10 at the shoot of the 
Morristown Gun Club. 
U. M. C. Thomas, Ferd Van Dyke and F. S. Edwards are New York's 
three representatives at the Savannah Interstate tournament this 
week. 
May 15. 
Edward Banks. 
Kansas City. 
Kansas City, Mo,, May 19,.— Special to Forest and Stream; The 
tournament here opens under the most favorable auspices; the 
weather is fine and the attendance promises to exceed that of last 
year. Most of the prominent shooters are here, as well as a host of 
State shooters. This will no doubt prove to be the best tournament 
ol the season. Tbe only event of importance yesterday was tbe 
State team race, four men to a team, 15 live birds per man; eight 
teams were entered, and all but one of these were from Kansas City. 
The Foresters won the State medal on the fine score of 5? ; then came 
the O, K. with 55, Stockyards 54. Washington Park 51, St. Louis Belt 
Line and Pastimes 47, Kansas City 43. Many new shooters arrived 
during the night and this morning, So the entries in the target 
events will exceed 100, PAin- R, LiTaKE. 
New Haven Gun Club. 
New Haven, Conn., Maf 12.— The members of the New Haven Gun 
dub held their regular monthly shoot to-day on the club's grounds 
near Schuetzen Park. About twenty shooters took part in the differ- 
ent evenis. the principal ones being the merchandise at SO singles and 
the team shoot. 
Bement, Robertson and Bennett tied for first place in the merchan- 
dise event, Bement winning on the shoo^off. Kelly took second all 
alone, and Treat shot out Redfleld for third place. 
The teams were captained by A. B. Treat and J. B. Robertson, te- 
speetively. Robertson had rather the best of it, his team being lO 
birds in the lead at the finish. 
Mr. Sanford, of the Bridgeport Gun Club, was present and did some 
good shooting, as did also Whitney, Potter, Stevens and Bement, of 
the home club. Scores,'

ILLINOIS STATE 8^00*. 
CHicA&o, 1)1. > May 15.— One of these days we shall see a copy of tbe 
programme of the Illinois State Sportsmen's Associatiofl. This old 
reliable institution will hold its convention at Chicago, Jime 1, and 
the week following June 1 will be devoted to the trap shooting feat- 
ures of the yearly assembly, the association events beiag followed by 
the open tournament at live birds and inanimates given by John Wat- 
son. It is certain there will be a crowd at this old-time fixture. 
Come and see the d o. b. birds and the targets that go out from 
under the roof. Come and listen to the convention* You won't have 
a better time anywhere on the round of trap circuiting than you will 
right here. Come and see the 10 gauge rules. We are the only peo- 
ple who have them. We also have the Chicago Climate, Bring your 
overcoats and duck suits. Also bring your knitting and stay the 
whole week. John Watson has a whole herd of fat chickens and we 
will scare Up enough to eat somewhere around town. P. B.— Bring 
your 10 gauge guns too. They touch a tender spot and soften up our 
hearts, making us think of the past that has long, long ago gone rat- 
tling down the grooves of time. Bring your 10-gauge guns and you 
shall shoot right in the ear of the la-gauge men, just for the sake of 
• Auld Lang Syne. We are modern as the Pyramias, at least, in trap- 
shooting rules, here in Chicago and the Illinois State Association. 
OOUNtllL BLUFFS GUN CLUfi.

COOK dOUNTV tEAGUE, 
The Cook Cotmty League, of Chicago, shoots its first season event 
to day. Most of the other club grounds will therefore be vacant to- 
day. The trap season is now fully under way at all of our club 
grounds, Targets make the ohly form of shooting, no live bird 
matches or club shoots of great size on live birds havinej yet been 
pulled off this season , and it being now too late for that sort of shoot- 
ing here. Few birds are shot in Chicago between March and June, 
the latter month giving us the State tournament on birds and targets. 
The organization of the target clubs into a league bids fair to be more 
active and effective this year than ever before, and it is very likely 
Chicago will grind a good line of targets this summer, E. Houoa.

Androscogg'in Gun Club. 
Lewiston, Me., May 1-3.— Our weekly club shoot took place to-day, 
and there was a fair turnout of shootei-s considering the day, which 
was wet and disagreeable. Quite a lot of interest is being taken in 
trap-shooting here this season on accoimt of the Interstate shoot 
here in August, and I think some of the members of the club will be 
able to give a good account of themselves at that time. Event No. 3 
was at unknown angles; No. 5 was the contest for the Doten chal- 
lenge cup.
