Tournament at Marlin^ Texas. 
Marljn. Tex., June 3.— Inclosed please find scores made at the three 
days' tournament— May 25-27— held here under the auspices of the 
ilarlin fJun Club. The attendance was hardly as large as expected, 
owing to The shoot of the North Texas League, held at Bonham ihe 
name week. However, there were from 75 to 100 different persons 
who shot during the tournament, and it would be difiicult to find a 
more gentlemanly crowd gathered together under any circumstances. 
Every tiling passed off as smoothly as could be expected, and the club 
was highly complimented by many of the visiting shooters. On the 
night of the second day an excellent banquet was served at the Opera 
House, tendered by the ladies of MarUn in honor of the club and its 
guests. Ninety-six covers were laid twice. This was probably the 
most enjoyable feature of the event to the shooters, although the ball 
given by the young men of Marlin the following night at thereof gar- 
den of the Natatorium was highly appreciated by about seventy-five 
couples, who partook of the refreshments served and danced until 
day Ugh t. 
The weather during the three days was all that could be asked for, 
except that it was quite warm for this season. Five expert traps 
were used, and it might be well to say here that the next shoot we 
have there will be at least two sets of traps and oflScers used. "We 
have learned that shooters want to shoot, and not watch somebody 
else shoot half the time. Twice the business might have been 
handled, and by classing the shooters after the first day according to 
their averages would be better. The Rose system was used mostly, 
although the old system was effective when desired by our guests. 
In the 9th event of the third day expert shooters were handicapped; 
shooting from the 10-gauge line and at unknown traps and angles, 
which reduced their percentage somewhat. 
Will Holland, a veteran at the trap, and who has probably won 
more money than most any one shooting, attracted a great deal of 
attention-at lea.st his old-fashioned L. C. Smith 10-gauge gun did, 
loaded with black powder. Some of the spectators believed he shot 
IJ^lbs. of powder and filled up the remainder of the gun with shot. 
This latter was not true, however. Will knows his gun is not bored 
fornitro, as well as a few other things, and. although he has not 
shot at tbe trap for four years, his average shows he has not lost the 
trick to any extent. 
The handsome gold medal was won by Mr. Nalle, of Austin, Tex., 
for highest score in first 15 targets shot at. Other valuable prizes 
were about evenly distributed among other ''crackerjacks." 
The scores of May i!5-26 are given in two tables, the target scores 
being separated ftom the live bu-d scores. In the table of target 
scores Nos. 1-5 were shot on May 25, Nos. 6-12 on May 26. In the 
table of live bird scores Mos. 1-8 were decided on May 25, Nos. 4 and 
5 on May 1k6.

The Parkersbnrg Tonraament. 
Parkersburg, W. Va., June 8.— The two days' tournament of the 
Mountain State Gun Club of this city closed this evening. The shoot 
proved quite a success despite the depressing weather conditions that 
prevailed on both days. On the first da.y there was a Strong wdnd 
blowing, while it rained hard almost the whole ot the day; on the 
second day it was dark, cloudy and windy. One magautrap and a 
set of expert bluerock traps were used. Bluerock targets, of course, 
were thrown. All moneys were divided by the Rose system; four 
moneys in the 15-target events and five in the 20-target events. 
The club's grounds are located on a high plateau just back of the 
city, where the background is rather poor, the mountain to the right 
and trees to the left. The club has a good club house, provided with 
everj thing that conduces to comfort. The shelter of the house and 
tents was much appreciated, as w£is the dinner, which was served at 
the grounds. Mr. Leon J. Epstein, the club's secretary, worked like a 
beaver all the time, and to him is most of the success of this shoot 
due. As one of the visitors, I can say that we were all entertained 
most hospitably by our hosts. Below will be found a list of those who 
were present at the shoot, as well as the records of both days and the 
general averages of tliose who shot through the programpae.

Monroe's Interstate. 
Monroe, La., June 10.— The fourth target tournament of the Inter- 
state Association for 1897, which was held at Monroe, La., -June 9-10, 
was like its predecessors in many respects. The attendance was not 
large, in fact, much less than the members of the Monroe Gun Club 
had had reasons to expect. This can be attributed to a number of 
causes, but to none so much as to the recent disastrous floods along 
the Mississippi River. It is in this section that most of the Missis- 
sippi trap-shooters live; so that it was hardly to be expected that these 
people could find time to shoot at the trap; especially as the water 
has only recently receded. Then, too, the programme was hardly 
■such as the amatetir would relish, ten 20-target events is a pretty 
stiff game; one that will really test the metal of the best of them. 
This doubtless kept some of the weaker shots away. The tourna- 
ment, however, was by no means a failure, as more than 8,000 targets 
were shot during the two days. 
THE CLUB WORKED HARD. 
The club had spared n,o effort to make the tournament a success, 
and had invoked the fostering hand of the Interstate Association. It 
has excellent grounds, equipped with everything necessary for con- 
ducting a modem tournament; but its chief object was to secure the 
executive ability of Mr. Shaner, and in this respect they made no 
mistake. For this reason, nothing need be said as to the manage- 
ment of the tournament. Mr. Shaner is well and favorably known in 
his capacity as manager of the Interstate shoots, having served the 
Association in that position for five years. Everything parsed off 
smoothly, and the programme was generally shot out by 3 o'clock, 
and that, too, without any special effort on the part of the manage- 
ment. The targets were thrown from a magautrap, which did its 
work with a rapidity that was astonishing. 
The following were in attendance; Ferd Van Dyke, Dayton, N. J., 
representing the Winchester Arms. Co., and shooting one of their 
new '97 model guns; U. M. C, Thomas, Bridgeport, Conn,, represent- 
ing the U. M. C. Co. Then there were J. M. George and A. H. Piety, 
San Antonio, Tex.; J. A. Jackson, Austin, Tex.; WiU Miller and Dave 
Porterfleld, Vicksburg, Miss. ; H. L. Baker and Frank Arrighl, Natch- 
ez, Miss.; John R. Maxwell and J. Broyles, Columbus, Miss.; E. M. 
Lindsey and J. T. Welch, Bobehne. La.; A. W. Huey, Magenta, La.; 
R. L. Pruitt, West Point, Miss., and J. T. Lloyd, Pine Bluff, Ark. 
- GENERAL AVERAGES. 
Thirteen shot through the two days' programme, and of this num- 
ber four belonged to the home club, this speaks well for the club, and 
Is in marked contrast to what one generally sees at tournaments of 
this kind. Van Dyke was at the top with 90.7, with only on© more 
break to his credit than Jackson, who is next with 90.5. Then comes 
Dabney, a member of the club, who is nearly 5 per cent, ahead of 
Piety, who follows him. The remaining nine are all closely bunched. 
The order in which they finished is shown below, each man shooting 
at 400 targets:

First Day, June 9. 
Sunshine is very essential to the success of a shoot, but that of to- 
day was rather too fierce and penetrating, and everyone avoided it 
as much as possible. Elmer Shaner's face never looked rosier; his 
Japanese helmet has been shipped to New Haven, where next month 
it may perhaps see service. The programme was a lengthy one, but 
the entries were not large, as only twenty-four shooters took part, 
though eighteen shot through. This alone requiring 3,600 targets. 
Most of the Shooters had had some experience with magautrap, but 
it proved as deceptive as ever and nothing phenomenal was done in 
the way of scores. One of the best features of the day was Dabney s 
run of 42 straight. Asid« from this misses occurred quite regularly 
and straights were hard to get. Only once was there more than one 
in any event, that being in the ninth, when Jackson, Dabney and 
Miller were credited with 7 points each for straight scores. There 
were four other straights made during the day. Dr. Forsythe got 
one in the first. Van Dyke one in the fifth, Dabney began his run in 
the eighth, and then when it became necessary for Van Dyke to go 
straight in the last event in order to tie Piety for first average he just 
went out and did it. Thus Piety and Van Dyke were tied for the 
position of honor; then r-ame Jackson, while Dabney and Arrighi 
were tied for the next place. The programme consisted of ten 20- 
target events, entrance §8.50, $10 added to each. After the pro- 
gramme was finished there were two extra 15-target events. One 
had seventeen entries and the other twelve.

Second Day, June 1 0. 
It is rarely the case in a two days' shoot that any new arrivals put 
in an appearance on the last day, and there was no exception to the 
rule here. The entries fell off considerably, several of the visiting 
shooters having gone home. Only thirteen shot through the pro- 
gramme to-day. The bright particular feature 6t the day was Jack- 
son's great shooting; he started off a little slow, but after the fourth 
event he was ver.r much in evidence. He made three straight scores 
during the day, and also has a run of 50 to his credit. On the first 
day Van Dyke led him by 3 breaks, but to-day he all but succeeded 
in closing the gap; one target only separated them at the finish. Van 
Dyke also shot weU again, but let down perceptibly in the last two 
events. Here he dropped 7 birds, more than in any other two events 
of the shoot. Dabney, too, kept up his good form, as he was again 
third. Wiih this exception, all the other contestants let down, and 
the averages are not nearly so high collectively as yesterday. Scores 
of 14 frequently got in for money. The programme was an exact repe- 
tition of that of the previous day.
