Peru Tournament. 
Peru, Ind., May 1.— History sometimes repeats, and in tl'ie 
instance of the second annual' amateur toitrnamcut of the Peru 
Gun Club she proved a pretty good "repeater." When we an- 
nounced to the sportsmen of Indiana and surrounding States that 
we were going to repeat our first annual, given in April, 1897, 
We had that confidence born of success that we would not dis- 
appoint them when wc promised a large attendance. Wc were 
not disappointed, except that some of the old reliable shooters of 
the State, who never miss a tournaliicnt and whom we had every 
reason to expect, did not put in an appearance. We know that 
it must have indeed been important business that kept them 
hv/ay. A glance at the names as shown below will demonstrate 
that they missed a good thing, and we assure them that we 
\vbuld have indeed been glad to have them participate. There 
were presetit Messrs. Thomas Graham, of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., 
and Mr. A. M. Earnhardt, of Hastings, Neb., both of whom 
fi&d taken part in the St. Louis tournament the preceding week; 
Geo. Elliott, of Rochester, Ind.; Mr. Eenson, of Kokomo, and 
Chas. E. Lacev, member of the executive committee Indiana 
Trap-Shooters' 'League; Max Stilwell, business partner of Ed 
Voris, now in Europe, both of Crawfordsville; Geo. Kolb, of 
Goshen; S. R. Valentine, Monroeville, O. ; Paul North, of the 
Cleveland Target Company; Mr. John Parker, of Detroit, Mich., 
die popular and able representative of the Peters Cartridge and 
King Powder companies; Messrs. Streeter, Shep,crdson and Vcd- 
der, of La Grange, Ind.; Mr. J. W. Hulbert, of Shipshowana ; 
Ralph Trimble, of Cincinnati; Dr. O. F. Britton, of Indianapolis; 
Messrs. Bruner, Cumberland, Elmer, Edgar Apperson and D. S. 
Wallace, of Kokomo; Messrs. JiJurnison, Lovill, Smith and Tarle- 
ton, of Huntington; Gillespie (Guess), of Findlay, O.; F. PI. Sirow, 
Brooklyn, O. : Frank D. Alkire, VVoodlyn, O.; A. ^V. King, Will 
Thompson, Dan Morgan, O. M. Wright and Chas. Rose, of 
W^abash, Ind.; Redmon, of Marion; Chas. Lockwood, VV. M. 
Gentle and A! Grube, of Southport^ Ind.; Milt Forhis, E. C. 
and W. B. Cooley, and Harry Heinev, of Hartford City, Ind.; 
L. C. Griffith, E. H. Tripp, Geo. Beck (commonly called Pa by 
Indiana Trap-Shooters), and Thomas F. Parry, of the Limited Gun 
Club, Indianapolis; John A. Ruble, of Chicago; J. R. Graham,

R. B. Short and C. H. Terry, of Union Mills, Lid. There wore 
several other visiting sport.smen who came to see the crowd, but 
whose names were not obtained. The weather was ideal, the 
sliooters abundant, and the first day's scores as follows:

THLTRSDAY, SECOND DAY. 
Thursday morning, April 28, was another beautiful morning, but 
a little dampness pervaded the air, foreboding rain. The crowd 
had, however, decreased quite ,a little, the less expert shooters 
feeling that one day against the best amateurs the Middle West 
can produce was enough. Manager Parker decided to keep the 
magautrap and the extra set of traps as well going in order to 
finish the programme as soon as possible. There were still some- 
thing like thirty shooters on the ground, and as they were 
among the best, good scores were the order of the day, as will 
he shown by the following, there being one or two e.xtras shot, 
but the scores were not preserved:

Parker, the efficient representative of the Peters Cartridge and 
King Powder cotnpanies. Jack demonstrated more than ever that 
he stands without a peer as a tournament manager, and he put 
in some good work for his companies. 
Peru Gun Club feels greatly under obligations to Mr. Paul North 
too for his valuable assistance, as when Paul found that two of the 
club'.s active members, upon whom they had most depended to 
help Mr. Parker, were compelled to be absent, he threw off his 
coat and gave evidence of what he will do at their big tournament 
in June. Paul was happy too; the magautrap sinlply captured 
the crowd by it.s splendid work. t- -t^ ah • rwnc 
The general averages were won: First, F. D. Alkire. .9.106; 
Second. F. H. .Snow, .9107; tliird, John A. Ruble, .9102, and 
fourth, S. R. Valentihe (Vail), .8908. These were hard pressed by 
Messrs. T. J. Graham, .8907; Grube, .8906; Apperson, .8903; iripp, 
.8903; Garland, .8609; Partington, .8601; Beck, .8508; Neal, .8508; 
and several others who were above the 85 per cent. mark. 
The winning of first average by Frank Alkire was a popular win. 
Does anybody know of a nicer gentleman than he? quiet, gentle- 
manly, nothing to say. e.Kcept a pleasaitt word for everyone, and 
when he is losing (as he did several titnes during last season) 
he was the same Frank Alkire, and shot right along. May he 
win many another. 
Ohio was again well represented by such crack alii.^teurs as 
Alkire, Snow, Valentine, and Gillespie (Guess), to .say nothing of 
Messrs. Paul North and Ralph Trimble, right-hand man to R. S. ^ 
Waddell, the general agent of the Du Pont and Hazard powder 
companies at Cincinnati. Ralph did not even have his guit. He 
was barred from the events, but put in his time looking after his 
firm's interests. 
Our club was unfortunate in one respect: Two of our shooters 
■who were expected to shoot out the programme were called away 
on the evening before the bcginnin.g of the tournament upon 
business that could not be postponed. We have one member, 
however, that is certainly a hot number. Mr. John H. Cavanaugli 
again shot through the programme from start to finish, and had 
a lot of sport. He shot well too for a man who shoots at the 
traps about once a year, and that at the annual tournaments of 
his club. Cost him 'something? Certainly, a little; but, as Jack 
says: "Look at the fun." Mr. Cavanaugh is one of the Wabash 
Company's most efficient train dispatchers. 
U. M. C, Jr., Hallowell slipped in to town afflicted with malaria. 
But as the old woman who lived in Micliigan about 100yds. from 
the Indiana line said, "Look out for Indiana; them chills and fever 
is certainly awful, and I wouldn't live in that State for the world.'' 
Jack was better the second day, and was there to see U. M. C. 
shells carry off the two high averages. Guess he was satisfied. 
T. J. Graham, of the Soo, was there or thereabouts when the 
average money was divided; .01 per cent, is a pretty close margin, 
but Tom was not sliooting quite itp to his gait. He is one of l.he 
best. 
There is hardly a shooter in the country who has shown the 
wonderfully improved form of Elmer Apperson, of Kokomo, in 
the short .space of twelve months. Elmer manufactures saw mills, 
horseless carriages and "straights," especially the latter. Note 
that 25 straight alone the first day. Paid something too — about 
$22. He was a prominent candidate for first average at the close 
of the first day and up to the last tliree events the second. 
He did not finish in these three as he can and should. 
Mr. A. M. Bernhardt, a. very pleasant gentleman and clev6r shot, 
of Ha.stings, Neb., was a vvelcome visitor from a long distance. 
He is not one of the "old rounders," but was in search of health, 
pleasure and recreation. He struck the right place, and shows 
good judgment in his selection of a health-giving pastime. 
Messrs. BtuMiison and Smith, of tluntiiigton, are a couple of 
popular locomotive engineers upon the Erie. Mr. Burnison has 
been before the traps for years, and usually gives a good account 
of himself. i>Jr. Smith has only been shooting p short time, and 
this was perhaps the hottest crowd he has ever encountered. Mike 
showed his staying qualities by shooting in every event. Pie will 
show thcin all the way with a little more experience in such com- 
pany. They were accompanied by Mr. Lovill, one of their con- 
ductors, who takes a great interest in the sport and usually shoots 
well on his home grounds, but business prevents the attending 
of many tournaments. 
Messrs. Shepardson, Streeter and Vedder, of La Grange, and 
Mr. Hulbert. of Shipshewana, are new shooters, but came down 
to mix up with the cracks. Hulbert and Shepardson showed that 
they were "pretty warm" themselves. All of these gentlemen will 
be heard from in the future. Come again, gentlemen. 
Messrs. Grube, Lockwood and Gentle, of the Southport Club, 
were in the thickest of the bombardment. Everyone was pleased 
to see Al Grube, the two-time State champion, again shooting 
in splendid form. Their club holds the next tournament sanc- 
tioned by the League. They deserve a splendid crowd on the 4th 
and 5th. 
E. H. Tripp, of the Limited Gun Club, Indianapolis, was as 
msual shooting in good form, but not tiuite up to his average. 
Ihis gentleman comes pretty near being Indiana's representative 
sportsman— shoots for pleasure, and has a world of it. Pie 
IS well fixed with the wherewithal and allows his friends, who 
are numbered by the shooters he meets, to help him enjoy it. He 
M ^ /"S?'^'^'' °f ^^^^ .fi''*'" of Tripp Brothers, of Indianapolis and 
North Vernon, and is among our most prominent business men. 
Indiana sportsmen are proud of him. 
Pa Beck was the youngest man in the crown. Pa lined out 
a straight occasionally just to show how he took the Grand Hotel 
cup away from his brother Tripp, and then defended it against 
several other aspiring shooters. Pa was a crackerjack Ijefore 
some of the present shooters could shoot a fire cracker. May he 
continue to be for years. 
Dr. Partington Britton was again with us. Plis easy, graceful 
arid effective style was again noticeable. 
Mr. Thomas F. Parry, another of the Limited Club's very best 
shots, was with us to a finish. Mr. Parry is one of the superior 
gentlemen of the sport, and is a credit to it. 
Young L._ C. Grifhth, the baby of the Limited Club, took 
time trom his always pressing business to come up and shoot the 
programme through, and right well at that. He was a member of 
the squad that broke them all but one. He also scored straight 
o'l'y live-bird event which was not down On the programme. 
A golden plover came along on his way to Jack Cavanaugh's pri- 
vate snipe grounds about 100yds. from the club house. Griff 
stopped him, and the referee call "Dead, one!" 
And speaking of that "hot squad," Messrs. Apperson, Snow, 
Uarland, Ruble and Griffith were pretty warm in the fourth event 
the second day, scoring 74 out of 75. Who missed the bird' No 
one but old reliable John Ruble. Guess he now knows how 
Charlie Young felt at Cincinnati in '95, and how Fred Gilbert 
telt at Cleveland last summer. When, oh when, will some squad 
break straight. 
Mr. Elmer E. Neal, a recent acquisition to tlie shooters of the In- 
diana 1 rap-Shooters' League, was a welcome visitor. He came 
n'?^ "^'"cago, and brought along Messrs. Ruble and J. R. Graham 
Kuble has been around the Indiana circuit before, but this was 
Graham s first visit. He was pleased and promises to come again. 
ihe l^okomo gentlemen are near neighbors and welcome visitors 
ihey have a splendid club, which was well represented by Messrs 
Bruner; L. W. Cumberland, the efficient secretary of the Trap- 
Shooters League of Indiana; D. S. Wallace, S. Benson and the 
Apperson brothers. 
Perry Garland, of Marshall, another stayer, was with us through 
the programme. Perry is one of our best shots, as shown bv 
his scores throughout the country, and the latch string is always 
out. Come again. Perry. 
Mr. W. Zink, of Monticello, Ind., is another new shooter who 
was with us the first day. He is certainly a comer, 
fv, t '"^"^ spectators were completely carried away by 
^^^ivr °^''a? %i ^^'^^ Stutesman, the fourteen-year-old son 
ot Mr. f. M. Stutesman, one of our most prominent business men 
Hale is a new member of the club and his shooting is simply 
remarkable for one so young. His position at the trapl is elegant ; 
shoots with both eyes wide open, and his time is excellent In 
a 10-bird race he usually blows 9 or 10 of them out of sight but 
in a longer race the strain begins to tell upon his small stature

dates sanctioned by the League, was we think a good oire. Bu

event, said, "Where do thev all come from, and no added money? 
Wc think when Mr. North sees the amateurs line up at -ins 
coming tournament, with the professionals barred, he will hftVC 
occasion to wonder again. ^ 
The Peru Gun Club desires through the columns of FoRfeST 
ANn Stream, with the kind permission of the editor, to thank 
each and every sportsman who was present for his kind attention 
and assistance in m.aking their second atiniml a success, and 
we promise you something for next year which will surely be an 
attraction. Come again, all of you. Secretarv. 
Eati Claite Tournament* 
ICau ClAirE, Wis., May 4.^The second annttal toufnafnent of 
the bustling Eau Claire fiun Club was hardly so well attended as 
the maiiagcmenl had right to atUicipate, in view of the success 
of the inaugural event la.st year. Only a couple of dozen regulars 
shot through the programme to-day, whereas it was supposed 
that twice that number would materialize. The war situation Is 
thought to be partly responsible for this. Surely a programme 
so good in so good a town as this ought to call out the boys if 
anything could. The shoot is strictly amateur, manufactm-ers' 
agents being allowed to shoot only for the price of the birda. 
Two such only offered, Paul North and Jack Fanning, respectively 
from the Blue Rock and the Gold Du'st folds. J. J.' Hallowell, 
of the U. M. C. Co., was expected, but is unfortunately ill at 
Cliicago. Paul North won 50 cents from Lew Harrison on the 
side, and so to some extent i.ilayed even, but Fanning had only 
the austere pleasure of making good scores for fun. 
The club hung up .f300 added monej' and shot tar.gets at 2 cent.s 
and birds at 20 cents. So it hardly got wealthy, Ijut everybody, 
both management and shooters, liad a hearty good time. Eau 
Claire is a beautiful city of aljout 20,000 inhabitants, situated at 
the junction of the Eau Claire and Chippewa rivers, and it is 
full of sportsmen of the right sort. The club grounds arc fine 
ones, located as they are in a grassy flat surrounded by the rim 
of a high timbered bluff. There is an immense grand stand, built 
so as to shelter the score and house, both shooters and spectators, 
so th.at shooting is done in comfort, rain or shine. The coops 
for the live birds are commodious, and the birds are well cared 
for, so that given a bright, warm, dry day, such as we had to-day, 
they were brisk and lively, with very few dwellers or dawdlers. 
One day will be given up to live-bird shooting. The regular pro- 
gramme to-day called for only seven events, each of 15 targets, 
•11.50, and the number of entries being small the programme was 
shot through early in the afternoon. A sweep or so at targets 
followed, and one live-bird event. The latter showed the club 
well prepared to handle live birds, even to a very clever retriever, 
the big spaniel Coxey, who did his work as well as everybody 
else. 
Honors to-day remained with Eait Claire-, the able secretary of 
the club, Mr. E. M. Fish, being high gun for the day, his winnings 
figuring .$40.05. Mortensen, of Iowa, did pretty steady work, and 
Oswald Von Lengcrke, of Chicago, also was among the lucky, 
starting off with one of the very few straights that came to any- 
body. The live-bird sweep brought out some good scores, but 
straights were not numerous there. 
The targets were thrown from a magautrap, which did beautiful 
work. Up to 11 o clock in the morning only four birds had been 
broken in the trap. The shooting progressed steadily, and the 
tournament throughout seemed very smooth and admirably con- 
ducted. _ I here is no better place to attend a tournament than at 
Eau Claire, and a finer lot of. sportsmen than the men of that citv 
one will not find anywhere. "" ■ 
Minnesota contributed Harrison, Murphy and McNeal, of Min- 
neapolis; Ramalcy, of .St. Paul; Murry and Torinus, of Stillwater; 
Mortensen, of Britt; Taylor, of Algona; Pettitt and Colby, of 
Osage, represented the sister State of Iowa. Tom Graham came 
from Satilt Ste. Marie, Mich.; Von Lengerke from Chicago, and 
adding Fanning and North, this about covers the visitors— a 
showmg by no means commensurate with the expense and care

f„ =!^fi "?i* ^""f. discouraged, for it is likely that in these 
unsettled times the attendance at many other tournaments may fall 
? sentiment of every one here to-day that the shoot 
Is above reproach in every particular, and that those who did not 
come missed a very enjoyable time.

TPIURSD.\Y, SECOND DAY. 
The weather continued good and the entry held up to that of 
lose l^ltweef^" %m Tnd ^^O^'"*./'^"! mLagemei^t stands to 
lose between $200 and $300 on the tournament, and the expres- 
sions of regret were general that so liberal a programme should 
have such result. Front letters and promiLs re"dved the 
nianagement expected at least fifty shooteVs. No live bilds were 
shot to-day, but after the programme a number of sweeps were 
was' sWn^^Thrf '^"^ P'""';*''^" °" the magau rap 
was shown. The two-nren team race was interesting. Von 
Lengerke and Graham winning first with 46 not crowded by any 
rivals. Fanning and North, the only professionals, only got 42 
Ihe greatest interest to-day centered in the race for firft grand 
ayei-age between E. M. Fish, of Eau Claire, and H. C. Mortensen 
of Bntt, la. Fish was 3 birds ahead yesterday, but the quiet 
Iowa man began to crawl up until he was 2 birds ahead when 
the men began in the last event. Fish only lost 2 birds in that 
event, and Mortensen dropped 4 in the first part of the race, tieing 
his competitor again. He then rallied and ran on out, leav nl 
the score tied. He and Fish divided the $10 for first average on 
.877 per cent. Graham won second average, $7.50; Taylor third 
$5; Von Lengerke fourth, $5; Murphy fifth, $5; Torinu/ sixth, $5 
Minnesota has a good delegation on hand, and to those Men- 
tioned yesterday I should add Messrs. Posz and Artz, of Winona 
and Jewell, of Wabasha. ' 
During a few moments of idle conversation back of the score 
some one to-day, while looking over the array of guns, remarked 
that if it were not for the trap-shooting these days there would 
not be much trade in guns and ammunition. Paul North who 
was standing by, said that such was the common understan diner 
but It was erroneoui, ""uersranaing, 
"There may be thirty millions of targets sold in, all this year,"
