BOILING SPRINGS GUN CLUB. 
April 2: — The regular monthly club shoot of the Boiling Springs 
Ciun Club, of Rutherford, A. J., was held to-day on the club's 
grounds. This shoot finished the series of six shoots for the half 
3'ear, which commenced on the first Saturday of November, IBS'?. 
The chief prize was the gold watch, which went to the shooter 
showing the best two scores in the six club shoots. To qualify 
for the prize a shooter must take part in at least four out of the 
six monthly .shoots. In addition to the watch, cash prizes to the 
value of $.50 were divided among the six men showing the best 
four totals for the six montlis. A similar series will be commenced 
on the first Saturday in May, and will close witli the monthly 
shoot in October. The winner of the present series, that is, the 
winner of the watch, was IT. Nelson, who had two clean scores 
of 50 breaks to his credit, his club handicap allowing him 16 extra 
targets to shoot at in addition to tlie 50 targets in tl^e race. J. 
G. butcher also had two dOs to his name, but he failed to (jualify, 
having only three complete scores out of six shoots. 
The wind to-day made targets tricky, while the light varied 
very considerabl}'. Scores were: 
Club shoot, 50 targets, unknown angles. Sergeant system:

The showers had a tendency to rather dampen the ardor of the 
<i)looters. and the high winds made it more difficult to catch the

Chicago, April 5. — Mr, Fred Gilbert accepts challenges , of 
Messrs. Elliott for Star cup and Parmelee for Du Pont trophy; 
and names Watson's Grounds, Tuesday, April 12, for first, and 
Thursday, April 14, for second contest. E. S. Rice. 
The Reading Tournament* 
The eighth annual tournan\ent Of the Pennsylvania State. Sports- 
inen's Association, under the auspices of the Independent' Gun 
Club, of Reading, was held on the grounds at Shillington, about 
three miles from the city of Reading, Pa., and lasted^ four days, 
beginning on March 29. This was the second time that Reading 
had the honor of being the scene of the .State tournament. 
The number of shooters who participated was not equal to 
what was expected. Nevertheless there was a good tournament. 
The State events were not strongly supported in the way of com- 
petition, the team events in particular being far below the large 
support which one miglit reasonably expect from so broad and 
powerful an organization 'as the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's 
Association, with so many clubs of the State composing its mem- 
bership, representing the trap-shooting interests from the east to 
the west, the north to the south of the .State. 
The men on whom most of the preparatory work devolved 
were Messrs. Edward Yeager, the president of the Independent 
Gun Club, of fieadi^g, and George C. Ritter, one of its captains. 
The management of the tournament was done by Mr. Elmer E. 
Shaner, whose great work of the previous week in managing the 
Grand .'\mcrican Handicap had not impaired his energy in the 
least. Messrs. Bill MeQ-ickart and A. A. Fink were the squad 
hustler.s. 
In the fir.st three days those in which the targets events were 
contested, 22,000 targets were thrown, two magautraps being used 
for that purpose, oni for the .State events, one for the open, the 
targets being bluerocks. Some of the squads shot remarkablv fast, 
the 20 targets to each of five men being disposed of in a few 
seconds over 5 minutes. On the other hand, some squads required 
twice as long for the five members of it to fire the 20 shots re- 
quired of each. 100 in all. 
The shooting of all the contestants varied greatly in results, 
as the scores will show, which may in part be accounted for by 
the fact that at the trap used for the open events the targets were 
thrown very swiftly after the first day, and that there further was 
a wind blowing steadily, which varied the flights a great deal 
and many times made them erratic. 
In the live-bird events Mr. McCrickart refereed the open, while 
the like office was filled by J. K. Starr in the State events. The 
cashier's office was in charge of Messrs. Yeager and Ritter. 
The scores on the blackboard for the public benefit of all con- 
cerned, and the final official record and manifolding was well 
done, most of the scoring in the target events being done bv 
.Mr. Starr. 
On the second day several tables, used in games of chance, 
appeared on the .grounds. Their covers bore the figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 
.5, 6 in a row. and the man in charge had a certain receptacle in 
which he put three bone cubes, which had spots running from 
one to six resjiecti vely on the faces of the cubes, the names 
of which r did not learn. Everyone present thought that the 
gamesters had permission from some one in authority, but it 
transpirtd that their only authority came from the owner of the 
ifrounrls. and in no; way was authorized by the club. However, 
the shooters rose in their might on the third morning, and issued 
the ultimatum that the light-fingered gentry must go. The man- - 
agement of the tournament repudiated all connection with the 
games. .Mr. Shaner's voice could be heard forthwith proclaiming 
in 110 uncertain tones that no games would further be tolerated on 
the grounds. The gentlemen who toil not nor spin made a pro- 
tisl. but they were told tliat their j/;imes were ended. It is a 
pleasure to record this vigorous action on the part of the .shooters 
til keej) a clean sport free from the unclean.

of Pittsburg; Keystone Gun Club,, of Lebanon; Boyertown Gun 
Club, Silver Lake Gun Club., of Philadelphia; Nittany Rod and 
Gun Club, of Bellefonte; Reed-Hurst Gun Club, of Erie. The 
.Allentown Rod and (jun Club qualified imperfectly, in that it sent 
insufficient fees to cover the requirements, and was received into 
the .Association conditionally, on qualifying fully. It was carried 
that a copy of the roster be filed with the Secretary of the Com- 
monwealth. The treasurer's report .showed a balance of $198.25 
on hand. The list of ofiicers elected was as follows: President, 
J. O'H. Denny; \'ice-President, Harry Thurman; .Secretary, John 
.A. \\'ilson; Treasurer. James \Volstencroft ; Board of Directors: 
James S. Shaaber, H. AI. F. Worden, W. II. Wolstencroft, E. E. 
.Shaner and W. H. Burnham. .Sec. 4. Art. lA'., was amended to 
read as follows: The membership fee for clubs shall be $5, and 
the annual dues $2; individual fees 50 cents. .All dues shall be 
payable on or before .April 1 in each year, and if not paid within 
thirty days after said date, the club or individual shall be declared 
no longer a member of said organization. It was carried that 
the trophy which has been oft'ered to the shooters of the State 
As,sociation for the past year in the name of the Reading Shooting 
Association be transferred to the Independent Gun Club, of Read- 
ing, and that from this time on the trophy be offered in their name 
instead of that of the Reading .Shooting Association. The .Ameri- 
can Wood Powder Co. being no longer in existence it was car- 
ried that the name .American Wood Powder trophy be changed to 
the Milt Lindsley trophy. Erie was chosen as the place for the 
next meeting of the Association. 
Reading is a thrifty city of between 80,000 and 90,000 inhabitants 
as to population, and situated in part of the great manufacturing 
district of Pennsylvania on the Schuylkill River, about fifty-eight 
miles from Philadelphia. It abuts the spurs of the South Moun- 
tains. As one rides through that section, passing town after town, 
wherein are mammoth manufactories and tall .smoke stacks belch- 
ing clouds of dark smoke skyward, and piles of iron crude and man- 
ufactured, one wonders how America could possibly consume 
such an output, and yet great as it is, it is but a clrop in the 
bucket as compared with the vast whole. In this region are a 
great many gun clubs, and a great many private matches are 
shot among individuals. 
TUESDAY, FIRST DAY. 
The weather was rainy, raw and generally uncomfortable from 
morning till night of the fir.st day, so much so that three events 
on the programme were carried over to the following day. Nev- 
ertheless large scores were made, although in respect to them 
the targets were not thrown hard. They were good scores, ir- 
respective of conditions, and the four leaders, Elliott, Banks. 
Gilbert and Ileikcs, were bunched up in one, two, three order, 
only one target apart. Elliott getting 99 out of his first 100, Banks 
and Gilbert 98, while Heikes was next with 97. 
There were six State events on the programme, of which Nos. 1. 
2, 3 and 5 were at 15 bluerocks, entrance $1.50 each and 10 added to 
each. No. 4 was at 25 single targets and 5 pairs, entrance per 
team $6, and was governed by the following conditions: 
".American Wood Powder Co. trophy, silver prize cup will be 
contested for b}' teams of three men — 'no one man to shoot on 
more than one team,' and all must be members of the same club. 
25 singles and 5 pairs doubles. The prize and 40 per cent, to 
the team making highest score, 30 per cent, to second, 20 per 
cent, to third and 10 per cent, to fourth." This trophy will here- 
after be known as the Milt F. Lindsley trophy. There was $5

and valued at $100.
