FOURTH DAV. 
live bird contests, and several sliool- 
FR1DAY, 
This day was set apart for 
ers who had been shooting at live birds in ])rivate events apart 
from the tournament were present and joined in it. 
The weatlier was of March, though the day was of .April. A 
still raw wind blew steadily and quite .stiffly, favoritig the men 
wlio shot in the oi)en events' at the traps in an improvised ground 
in the open field, since it blew toward them from tlle traps, 
making- llius many incomers. Still there was much annoyance 
from the residuum' of burnt powder blowing back, and at times 
finding lodgment in the eyes of the shooters. 
At the set of traps where the State event.s were contested ihi' 
wind blew from the shooters to the traps, slightly from the left 
of the shooter, as he stood facing the traps, therefore there were 
many swift drivers. 
The birds were a inixed lot, poor, good and with now and then 
a strong, swift one, which tested the skill of the shooter to ihe 
utmost. 
There were two State events, the first being the Williamsport 
diamond l)adge event, with qualities and conditions as folhnvs; 
''h'or the individual championship of Pennsylvania at live birds. 
Prize, beautiful diamond badge, valued at .$250. i'resented by 
the citizens of Williamsport. To be contested for annually under the 
following conditions: Each contestant shall be a bona fide mcm- 
cor.. A. G. COURTNEY. 
Winner of E. C. Cup, Reading Tournament. 
ber of a club or association, members of the Pennsylvania Slate 
Sportsmen's Association, or an individual member of same. First 
prize the diamond badge to the person making the highest score, 
the next three highest scores to receive the 50, 30 and 20 per 
cent respectively. The winner of the liadge this year to receive 
40 per cent, of the entrance money next year, the balance to be di- 
vided as above. Each contestant shall shoot at 15 live birds, 
under American .Shooting .Association ri,iles, with the exception of 
l%oz. shot allowed 12-bore guns. A bond in the sum of $250 
shall be given by the winner of the trophy to the club under 
whose auspices the .Association shoot is given for its return to 
the club under whose auspices the next Association shoot sliall he 
given; provided, however, there be no .Association shoot given, 
it shall revert to the Williamsport Rifle and Gun Club, of Williams- 
port, Pa." 
The contestants stood at 28yds. 
This event was won by Cooper, after shooting off two ties with 
Jim Jones. 
The second State event, a team contest, was the L. C. Smith 
trophy event, and the conditions appertaining to it were as fol- 
lows: 
"Teams of three men, at 15 live birds to the man, 45 to the 
team, Petmsylvania State Sportsmen's Association rules to govern. 
Teams to be composed of bona fide members of any club or associa- 
tion in the State of Pennsylvania members oT the State .Association 
and residents of the State and count}', and no one man to shoot 
on more than one team. To the team making the highest score, 
40 per cent, of the money and the trophy; to the next highest, 
35 per cent, of the money; the next highest 25 per cent, of the 
money ; a bond to be given for the return of the trophy, in the 
sum of $200, at the next meeting of the State Association." 
There were four open events. No. 1 was the Independent intro- 
ductory, 7 birds, entrance $5. birds extra, high gvins, not class 
sliooting, three moneys — 50, -30, 20 per cent. No. 2 was the Shil-
