Programmes for Coming Tournaments. 
PEKNSTLVANIA.'S STATE SHOOT. 
So much has been -written ia these colnmns o'f late Tegard- 
ing the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's Association's annual 
tournament that very little remains to be said about it. 
Programmes are ready for distribution, and can be obtained 
by addressing the secretary of the Association, Mr. H. C. 
Eeeser, Oil City, Pa. 
The shoot takes place June 22-23, immediately foUov^ing 
the Chamberlin Cartridge Co.'s tournament at Cleveland. 
Coniing as it does on the heels of that shoot, and Oil City 
being such an easy distance by rail from Cleveland, it is 
only fair to predict that many shooters will take in both 
tournaments. \ 
The programme is an the form of a booklet of 128 pages, 
and is so full of matter, both reading and advertising, that 
it is rather hard to find vrhat one wants, and having found 
it, to select what is most important to be noted. The State 
programme is a good one, and so is the programme of open 
events. In the former tfiO is added to the purses on each of 
the two target days, while 180 and $T0 respectively represent 
the totals of added money in the open events on the same 
two days. 
For State events on the first day there are three IS target 
events, $1.50 entrance, $10 added to each purse; two 50-target 
events (the Wolstencroft Individual championship trophy 
and the Parker gun handicap) with flO added to each purse. 
The American Wood powder trophy (35 singles and 5 pairs) 
for three-men teams is also shot on this day. The open 
events are seven 20-target events, $2.50 entrance, $10 added to 
each purse, and a 25-target event (Gold Dust powder event), 
$2.50 entrance, $L0 added. 
On the second day the State events are: Three 15-target 
events, the same as on the first day; the Remington gun 
handicap, 50 targets, $10 added, and the Reading and the 
Harrisburg trophies for five-men and six men teams, each 
race at 25 targets. The open events are four 203 and two SOs; 
the 50-target races are the E. C. cup handicap, $4 entrancp, 
$10 added, and the Oil City Derricli event, $4 entrance, $20 
added by the above-named newspaper. 'J'he 20s are precisely 
the same as on the first day, $10 added to each event. 
On the third day live birds will be shot. The State events 
will be the Williamsport trophy for the Individual cham- 
pionship of the State, and the L, C. Smith trophy for three- 
men teams. On the open set of traps there will be four 
events: No. 1, Smithman Springs introductory, 7 birds, $5, 
birds extra, three high guns, not class shooting. Nos. 2, 3 
and 4 will be lO-bird races, $7, birds extra, high guns, four 
moneys, not class shooting. The handicaps in the above 
events will be the same as in the Oil City special. 
The Oil City Special Handicap occupies the place of honor 
on the fourth day, June 25. The conditions are precisely the 
same as the well known conditions which prevail in the 
Grand American Handicap— 26 birds, .$25, birds extra, handi- 
caps 25 to 33yds., 81,000 guaranteed, all surplus added, high 
guns, not class shooting, the number of moneys being de- 
pendent on the number of entries in event of more than forty 
entries. As in the Grand American, there will in any case 
be $500 to the first high gun, $300 to the second high gun, and 
$200 to the third high gun. Handicaps will be awarded by 
the following handicap committee: Major J. M. Taylor, of 
the American Field; Jacob Pentz. of Shooting and Fishing; 
Will K. Park, of Sporting Life; Paul North, of Cleveland, 
O., and»Edward Banks, of Forest And Steeam. All handi- 
caps will be announced on the evening of June 23. 
Shooting will commence each day at 8:30, and all targets 
will be thrown from magautraps. Purses in the target events 
will be divided into five moneys under the Rose system. 
Special rates have been made with all railroads in the Cen- 
tral Passenger Association on the certificate plan, at a fare 
and a third for the round trip. Guns and shells should be 
shipped in care of H. C. Reeser. 
The annual meeting will take place, of course, on the even- 
ing of the first day, June 22, and will be held in the Arling- 
ton Hotel, the headquarters for shooters in Oil City, a rate of 
%2 a day being made to shooters during the tournament. 
THE NEW HAVEN INTERSTATE. 
The first target tournament of the Interstate Association 
in its Northern circuit for the season of 1897, will be held 
July 14-15 on the grounds of the New Haven, Conn., Gun 
Club. The New Haven club is practiced in looking after 
large numbers of shooters, but we think on this occasion it 
will find that its hands are very full. Trap-shooting has 
taken such a decided boom in the Nutmeg State and the ad- 
joining States, that we look for realljr a good tournament as 
such things go nowadays. The location of New Haven is also 
favorable for a good attendance, as the city is easy of access 
from all points in New England. 
There are ten events scheduled for each day, five 15-target 
events and five 20-target events; all the 20-target events and 
the first 15-target event are at known angles, the balance at 
unknown angl s. The club adds $100 a day, viz. , $9 in each 
15-target event, $11 in each 20-target event. All purses will 
be divided into four moneys under the Rose system. Guns 
and ammunition forwarded in care of Basset & Reeves, 5 
Church street. New Haven, Conn, , will be delivered at the 
grounds. 
The club's grounds are easy of acce'ss from the center of 
the city, electric cars running past the door of the Tontine 
Hotel, the headquarters' hotel during the shoot, direct to the 
shooting grounds. The Tontine Hotel is on the European 
Elan, with rooms $1 per day and upwards; a special rate will 
e made to shoooters. To reach the grounds from the rail- 
road station, take any car up Meadow street, and get a trans- 
fer for Schuetzen Park. 
New Jersey State Association. 
THE MEETING OF JUNE 4. 
The efforts of the trap-shooters of New Jersey to organize 
a State Association, although still somewhat hampered by a 
few little irregularities, are making tracks in the right direc- 
tion. The meeting of June 4 at Taylor's Hotel, Jersey City, 
was fairly well attended, but there is still a certain amount 
of unexpected apathy on the part of the trap-shooters of this 
great shooting State in the matter. This is doubtless caused 
by uncertainty as to what it is proposed the new Association 
(or the old Association revivified) shall do in the way of look- 
ing after the interests of the game and fish of the State, and 
also in the trap-shooting line. Once the Association is fully 
launched this uncertainty will disappear, and then without 
question many clubs that are now hanging back will come 
forward and join hands with their brethren in helping to 
push a good thing along. 
ELEVEN CLUBS SEND DELEGATES. 
When the roll was called it was found that the following 
eleven clubs were represented: South Side, of Newark, I. H. 
, Terrill and W. M. Smith; Oritani Field Club, Capt. A. W. 
Money; Jersey City Heights Gun Club, Justus von Lengerke; 
Newark Gun Club, Jacob Pentz; Elizabeth Gun Club, Robt. 
E. Chetwood; Aiiington Shooting Association, M. Herrington; 
Boiling Springs Gun Club, E. A. Jeanneret and W. H. Huck; 
Endeavor Gun Club, Carl von Lengerke and Edward Banks; 
Passaic City Gun Glut), Colin R. Wise and M. J. Coraan; 
Essex Gun Club, W. H. Green; Maltawan Gun Club, W. 
Hughes. ■ * 
The Dunnellen Gun Club and the Climax Gun Club were 
both applicants for membership, and both were elected, their 
respective delegates, Messrs. A. N. Randolph and J, G. Liad- 
zey, being also on hand. This started the meeting with the 
unlucky ^number of thirteen clubs represented, precisely the 
same number, if we make no mistake, that the old ill-fated 
association commenced business with. 
Capt. A. W. Money, the president pro tern., presided, and 
M<i temporary secretary, Colin E. Wise, attended to the cleri- 
cal work of the meeting. 
Before the meeting had been called to order Mr. W. H. 
Green stated that the notices of the meeting had not been 
properly sent out, as a certain club that was a member of the 
old association had not been notified of this meeting. He 
named, on request, the Essex Gun Club, of Newark. His at- 
tention was called to the fact that he was present at the 
meeting of May 19 as representing that club, and the tem- 
porary recording secretary, Mr. Carl von Lengerke, stated 
that he had mailed a notice addressed to the club's secretary 
in Newark, not being aware of the secretary's name. As a 
matter of record some forty-three notices were sent out, but 
only the above thirteen responded. Several other clubs 
have, however, signified in writing their intention of joining 
the Association as soon as it is started. 
ANNUAL MEETING SET FOR .JULY 13. 
The work of the meeting may be shortly stated as follows; 
The date of the annual meeting was set for July 13, 2 P. M., 
at Taylor's Hotel. The report of the committee on con.stitu- 
tion and by-laws was received and referred to the committee 
on rule.i. The present ofiicers were cuntinued in oflice until 
the annual meeting. The committee on constitution and 
by-laws appointed at the meeting of May 19 was continued 
in office as the committee on rules to report with an amended 
constitution and by-laws at the above annual meeting on 
July 13. 
There were several little incidents of interest that occurred 
at this meeting. The first was Mr. Pentz's statement that, 
as directed by the committee, he had written "a pleasant 
little letter" to the old Association's ex-treasurer, W. I. 
Conover, of Marlboro, N. J., in regard to certain funds be- 
longing to the old Association said to be in his possession. 
To that letter Mr. Pentz stated he had received no reply. 
From the above it maybe gathered that the "$300 in the 
treasury" referred to at the meeting of May 19 is practically 
non-existent. 
Another incident was the calling the attention of this 
meeting to the fact that the meeting originally called for 
May 19 had never been adjourned, as shown by reference to 
the minutes. After those minutes had been read, Mr. Banks, 
of the Endeavor Gun Club, asked what had become of that 
meeting, whether it was still in session, the adjournment in 
the minutes plainly referring only to the meeting called by 
the ex-president, Mr. Al. Heritage. 
There was some discussion on Mr. Banks's motion that the 
minutes be amended to show that this meeting had been ad- 
journed, if it actually was adjourned. As it appeared that 
it had not been .so adjourned, except in so far as the second 
meeting held on May 19, same time and place, the outcome 
of the first meeting, had been adjourned, the amendment 
could not be entertained, and Mr. .Banks was asked to with- 
draw his motion. This was done; but the question as to 
what became of that meeting is still unanswered. 
THE COMMITTEE WORKED HARD. 
Some words of commendation must be said in regard to 
the work of the "committee of five" appointed at the second 
meeting of May 19. This committee has worked hard to un- 
ravel the entanglement due mainly to two causes: The mud- 
dle caused by trying to galvanize into life an association long 
since defunct of its own free will; and, second, the muddle 
caused by electing temporary oflBcers for that defunct asso- 
ciation. 
The last muddle was the worse one of the two, as the tem- 
porary offiffers were elected at a meeting called at ten min- 
utes' notice, when the constitution of the old organization 
plainly says that a week's notice of any special meeting shall 
be given. 
Despite such difficulties, the committee has gotten to- 
gether and worked hard, with a view to giving New Jer- 
sey the State Association that it should Tiave. The best 
thing it has done so far is to urge strongly on the members 
of the present organization the necessity of incorporation. 
Once incorporated it will start practically as a new organiza- 
tion, and will have a legal standing; something tangible at 
any rate, and something which we must own it does not 
seem to possess as yet. 
STATE SHOOT IN THE FALL. 
Another recommendation of the committee which seemed 
to find great favor with the members present, was that look- 
ing to the holding of a State shoot early in the month of 
October, or in the latter part of September. We think there 
need be no fear that this part of the committee's report will 
be overlooked when the annual meeting of July 13 convenes.

Utrecht Gun Club at the Dyker Meadow grounds. In the class badge 
contest Greitl and F. A. Thompson tied in Class A; on the shoot-cfiP 
Greiil won with 22 to 19. In the Bennett cup contest P. A. ThompsoH 
was the winner with 22 breaks. This gave him. two wins for the cup, 
tieing bim with GreifiE; as another win would entitle either of the two 
to absolute ownership of the cup, they agreed to call off their previ- 
ous scores and let all the other members in by starting afresh at the 
next semi moDtbly shoot. The detailed score in the above two evejjts 
are given tjelow:

Holiday Cup 
May SZ.— The programme for the New Utrecht Gun Club'.s Decora- 
tion Day shoot at the Woodlawn grounds mcluded the lO bird race for 
the Holiday cup and a 15-bird open-to-all handicap race. The Holi- 
day cup was won by Danny Lohman, a rattling good little shot; 
Hegeman tied with Danny by virtue of his extra allowance of 1 bird, 
but withdrew in favor of Lohman without shooting off the tie. The 
conditions of this cup are: Class A, 10 birds; class B, 11 birds, and 
class C, 13 birds It will be noticed that Danny Lohman did not need 
his class allowance, as he killed his 10 straight. In the open-to- all 
handicap Lair was the only one to score 15 straight: the two Furgue- 
sons, father and son, each scored 14. The conditions of this race 
were $10 entrance, two high guns. 
In the smaller sweeps No. 1 was at 5 birds, $3, two high guns; No 2 
was a $1 miss-and-out; Nos. 3 and 4 were 5 birds;, three high guns; 
Noa 6 and 7 were 5 birds, $2, two high guns. Scores follow:
