Programmes. 
THE POETSMOtJTH IHTBRSTATK. 
The programme for the Portsmouth, N. H., Gun Club's Diterstate 
tournament contains ten events— seven of them at 15 targets, and 
three at 20 targets Of the IS-target races, six are at known angles, 
with an entrance fee of $1 ; the other 15-target event is at unknown 
angles and is $1 50 entrance. The three 20-target events are at un- 
known angles, with entrance fees of Si. 50. The programme for both 
days is precisely similar. 
Targets will be charged for at the rate of 2 cents each, and any- 
body who wants to do so can enter for the price of targets only. The 
Bose system of dividing purses will be used, with ratio points of 5, 4, 
and 8 to 2— that is, four moneys in all events. Guns and ammunition 
may be forwarded in care of Hoyt & Dow, Congress street, Ports- 
mouth, N H., and will be delivered at the grounds free of charge. 
Headquarters for sportsmen during the shoot will be at the Lang- 
don House, where a rate of 82 a day will be made for shooters. The 
tournament will be held at the Portsmouth Bicycle Park, situated on 
Newcastle avenue. Barges will be at the depot and hotel to convey 
shooters to the grounds. Mr. W. I. Philbrick, secretary of the club, 
will give any additional information. 
HAZELWOOD GUN CLUB. 
The "Pigeon programme for the season of 1897-98," issued by the 
Hazelwood Gun Club, of Pittsburg, Pa., is a good one, and shows very 
plainly that this club, although a young one, is in the hands of the 
right kind of management. Mr. Jno. N. Crossland is both president 
and manager, and he is ably seconded by his assistant manager. 
Brother Bill McCrickart, The vice-presidency is held by Jno. G. 
Messner; J. C. Node is treasurer, while the secretaryship is filled by 
J. C. Lowry. 
The main feature on the programme is the monthly contest for the 
championship diamond and gold medal, presented by the president, 
Mr. Crossland. This medal is to be awarded as follows: At the close 
of the season, the shooter making the nighest average in five of the 
seven diamond gold medal monthly events, will be awarded the Jno. 
N. Crossland handicap championship diamond gold medal, valued at 
$100, emblematic of the live pigeon championship of western Penn- 
sylvania, West Virginia and eastern Ohio The contest is at 20 pi- 
geons. $15, birds extra, four high guns, not class shooting, handicap 
rise, handicaps ranging: from 28 to 80i.^yds,, all contestants being han- 
dicapped by Mr. Crossland. 
The dates for the seven shoots for this medal are Oct. 14, Nov. 18 
Dec. 16, Jan. 13, Feb 17, March 17 and April 14. On these dates a 
regular programme of events will be shot as follows: 
No. 1, Hazelwood introductory sweepstake, 7 pigeons. $7, birds 
extra, SSyds. rise, four high guns. 
No. 2, Dr. B. J. Stilley sweepstake, 10 birds, $7, birds extra, 30yds. 
rise, four high guns. 
No. 3 is the Crossland handicap for the diamond medal above re- 
ferred to. 
No. 4, Bogardus sweepstake, 5 pairs of pigeons, 87, birds extra. 
S5yds. rise, four high guns. 
No. 5, Consolation handicap, 10 birds. $7, birds extra, four high 
guns, winners of money handicapped 1yd. extra. 
No. 6, miss-and-out, |5, birds extra, ^yds. rise. 
The above programme should make the monthly shoots of the 
Hazelwood Gun Club popular gatherings. To reach the grounds from 
the city of Pittsburg, take the McKeesport eleotric car of the Second 
avenue line at the comer of Market street and Fourth avenue, Pitts- 
burg, direct to the grounds. 
In addition to the above tournaments, sweepstake and practice 
ehootieg, open to all, will take place Oct. 8 and 23, Nov. 5 and 26, 
Dec. 3 and 24, Jan, 7 and 28, Feb. 4 and 25, March 4 and 25, and 
Aprils. 
NEW JERSEY STATE SPORTSMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 
In ovu: next issue we expect to be able to give a full review of the 
programme issued for the annual tournament of the New Jersey State 
Sportsmen's Association at Clifton race track, Passaic, N. J., Sep*. 
28-Oct, 1. 
For members of the State Association there wUl be four trophy 
contests, two at targets and two at live birds. The tai^et trophies 
will be for the individual championship and for the three-men team 
championship of the State: the live-bird trophies will be for similar 
championship at live birds. There will also be a special programme 
of State events at targets. 
The open programme on eacli of the two target days, Sept. S8-29, 
will be found to be quite interesting to those who like to shoot at tar- 
gets, while on the live-bird days, Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, the visitors from 
outside the State will find that they have been well looked after. Oct. 
1 in particular is a good day for anybody who can hit a pigeon. The 
Jersey Special Handicap, 25 birds, $'i5, birds extra, handicap rise, 
$500 guaranteed to the three high guns, all surplus added, will cer- 
tainly attract a large number of shooters. New Jersey herself is 
strong in live-bird shooters, so that $500 is really only a small guar- 
antee. Still "all surplus added" covers everything. It will be found, 
we think, that the method of dividing the surplus will recommend it- 
self strongly to shooters There is something novel in it, although 
the main idea is cribbed from the Interstate Association's plan for 
dividing the moneys in the Grand American Handicap.

Shooting and Banqueting at Dayton. 
{Correspondence of the Forest and Stream.) 
Datjton, Ohio, Aug. 30.— For two years, teams of twelve men each, 
representing the Buckeye Gun Club, of this city, and the Limited Gun 
Club, of Indianapolis, have been shooting friendly matches simply for 
the price of the birds. Conditions: 12.men team'from each club, 50 
targets each man, known traps, unknown angles, American Associa- 
tion rules. 
The first race was shot here in April 1896, won by the Buckeyes. 
Second race shot at Indianapolis, and won by the Limited Gun Club's 
team. The odd match was shot here to-day, and was won by the 
Buckeye team by the score 483 to 465. 
. The Indianapolis visitors arrived here at 9:18 this morning, and 
were met at the depot by Buckeye Club officials and reception com- 
mittee, with tally-ho four-in-hand for a rapid ride to the Buckeye 
Club range, quite near the city; a beautifully rolling piece of ground, 
bordered by a grove that gave just shade enough to make steady 
light. 
A very brief time was given to exchange of greetings, unpacking 
guns and shells, and otherwise preparing for the contests of the day. 
The cards called for three sweeps for practice before dinner. 
Dr. L. 0- Adams, referee; David McUutcheon, score keeper..

H. T. Hearsey, of Indianapolis, and O P. Eby, of Dayton, judges; 
John M. Curphey, scorer. Raymond, of the Buckeyes, was the first

The Buckeye team was declared winner by 18 points Upon an- 
nouncement of the result, Royal Robinson, of the visiting team, pro- 
posed three cheers for the Buckeyes, and the range and surrounding . 
grove rang with huzzas. Dr. Adams, of the local team, called for 
three cheers for the Limited Gun Club and the team, and the hearty 
response evened up the social feeling that prevailed. 
The match had occupied about two hours time, and at 5 o'clock the 
officials and teams boarded the tally-ho for a merry ride into the city, 
jollied along the streets as 'the result of the shoot became known. 
THE BANQUP.T. 
As the Indiana team were to start for home at 8:45 P. M , the ban- 
quet room at the Beckel House was thrown open to the local team 
and the visitors shortly after 6 o'clock, thirty covers being laid, 
President Charles W. Raymond, of the Buckeye Gun Club, as toast- 
master, occupied the seat at the head of the table, and President 
George J Marrott, of the Limited Gun Club, sat at the opposite end 
of the beautifully decorated table, and all enjoyed the feast. 
Those who responded to toasts were Judge O. B. Brown, George J. 
Marrott, Dr. Geo. Goodline, Royal Robinson and Dr. Kimberlin. Dr. 
L. C. Adams recited in darkey dialect "An Ailment from Yankee 
Land." 
The banquet proved a delightful wmd-up for the contest^ and plea- 
sures of tne day. Cood-byes were excnanged with promises for 
another race between the teams before many months. It is probable 
that the Buckeye Club en masse, will go to Indianapolis for the next 
match, and members will take their wives and young people to wit- 
ness and enjoy the sport. 
Pawtuxet Hunters' Handicap. 
Pawtuxkt, R. I., Aug. 28.— The Pawtuxet Gun Club held its fourth 
shoot for the merchandise prizes, called the Hunters' Handicap, to-
