Michigan Trap-Shooters' League. 
Grand KiPiDS, Mich., June 1.- Tbe shootins season for 189^ opened 
here yesterday with the tournament of the Michigan Trap-Shooters 
L°aeue given by tbe'Valley City Gun Club. Ben O. Bush, of Kala- 
mazoo, acted as manager to* the satisfaction of all. The attendance 
ivas considerable of a surprise, for though the Valley City Club does 
nothing hy halves, and their tournaments in former years left noth- 
inf? to be desired, this was looked on as rather an off year, and the 
usual inducements to draw a crowd were omitted. During the first 
ilay there were thirty- four visitors shooting, besides a good repre- 
sentation from the club. The average number of entries in the eight 
regular sweep events was twenty-eight. 
At a business meeting of the League, held m the parlors of the 
Livingston Hotel last evening, officers were elected as follows: Presi- 
di-nt Joseph Marks, of Detroit;' Vice President, .J. G. North, Pontiac; 
Secretary and Treasurer, W. H. Brady, Detroit; Directors: Mr. 
J)f^Koo Holland; Thomas Graham, v'^ault Ste, Mane; Charles J. Bous- 
field. Bay City; C. B. Kebey, Grand Rapids, and the officers. 
It was voted to hold the next shoot in Detroit the last week in J une 
on some open date to be selected by the Detroit members. E, C. 
Merrill, en behalf of the Bay City Gun Club, of Bay City, invi ed the 
League to give a shoot in tnat town in the near future, and it was 
voted to go therefor the July meet. 
The second day was an improvement over the first in conditions, 
the cold, raw wind having ceased and the mercury going up to a 
point where overcoats were unnecessary. This not bf>ing a holiday a 
number of those present the first day were not able to aiteud, but the 
fact that 4, 56i targets were thrown in regular events and 180 in the 
extras shows that the trap was busy. In the two days, counting ex 
tra events, 9,804 targets were thrown from the magauirap with an in- 
termission each day of an hour for dinner at the Country Club 
Casino. Usually the gun club has had a lunch served on the ground 
in tents, but this year we were not going for a record and ■ bought a 
t;ood meal well served would be preferable. The scores on both days

Trap in Arkansas. 
LiTTLB Rook. Ark.. June 8.— The annual convention of the State 
Band A.ssociation took place at Forth Smith, May 25, In order to add 
to the attraction, the committee in charge decided to add bicycle 
races and trap-sbooting to tho programme. The event of interest to ■ 
the shooters and the general pubhc was the team race for a pur.se of 
8:0— g'W to the first and $30 to tbe second team. The conditions of tbe 
race were: Four men to a. team, all members of the same club, 25 
targets per man, entrance free and no charge for targets. As the 
event had not been very well advertised, there were but four teams 
entered, a number wh'ch could have been materially increased had 
the event been generally known to the shooter') in the State. Little 
Rock, on the spur of the moment, managed to send a team, which, 
however, by no means represented its shooting strength, but never- 
theless managed to win first money, even though they had one shooter 
on the team of uncertain quality. Fort Smith had two teams entered, 
and their first team won second money. The scores in the team race 
were as follows: 
Little Rock: Conner 23, Duley 21. Woodson ro, Lenow 17—80. 
Port Smith No. 1: Matthews 21, Echols 15, Boyd 15. Leach 15—69. 
Rogers: Daily 22, Parks 16, Bryant 15, Edelin 13— 66. 
Fort Smith No. 2: Meyers 18, Bloodworth 1.3, McDonald 12, Bol- 
linger 11 - 53, 
After t he team race the following sweeps were shot, all 15-target 
events,' 81 entrance; when more than twelve entries, four moneys, 
under that three moneys:

It will be seen that young Matthews did the best shootiiig, losing 
jj'jst 1 bird in each event. His 21 in the team race was also the top 
score in this event. Had the rest of the team displayed the form that 
he did they would have h-id a walkover. Leach's shooting m this 
event was" the surprise of the day. Conner made the only straight 
score of the day, in the first sweep! Leach was the fortunate one, he 
was in for money in all the sweeps and three times was alone. lu the 
first event he totik third without a tie, and in the second and third he 
got second without a divide, The team race would have proved an 
interesting contest if Pine Bluff and Hot Springs had been repre- 
sented. Pine Bluff can now tpuster a strong team, and they would 
doubtless have been in evidence bad they been present. 
The vlijitors in attendance were Col. J. k. Woudson, W. R, Duley 
and Dr. J. H. Lenow, Little Rock; J. W. Bryant, Parks Rogers and H. 
A. D'jrden, Greenwood. The visitors were all htghly pleased with 
their trip, and were loud in their praise of the liberal manner in 
which tne shoot was conducted. Much of the success is (iue to the 
hustUng qualities of Stuart Miller. He took care of everybody and 
everytbins. The renewed inierest manifested in trap shooting all 
over the State is very gratifying, and the approaching State tourna- 
ment was the chief topic of conversation. Paul R. Litzke.
