Margaret 59m. and 10s. 
Up-to-Date Yachting. 
It is evident that the Seawanhaka 20ft. class has no 
monopoly of the bad features of modern designing. In 
describing the Quincy cup matches of last week, the 
Boston Globe says: "Recruit has been brought into the 
class by pulling her bow upward and thus shortening 
her waterline forward." Recruit is of very light con- 
struction, entirely too light even for one season's races, 
and has already been rebuilt to enable her to sail this 
series, for which she was specially built. Of the other 
boat the Globe says: "Skipper Parker, of Duchess, 
stated after the race that he did not care to force his 
boat to-day, as it was a forlorn hope, and he judged 
it better to reef and come home easy. He wanted to 
save her for some more races in the 18ft. class, and to 
push her on the last leg would have strained her con- 
siderably." • ^^^^

A three days' tournament will be held at Morgan's Grove, Sept. 
6, 7 and 8. Morgan's Grove is reached from Baltimore and 
Washington by B. & O. R. R. to Shenandoah Junction, W. Va. 
It is five miles from the latter city, on the line of the N. & W. 
R. R. Co. The tournament is held in conjunction with the Mor- 
gan's Grove County Fair, and has been largely attended by local 
shooters, and also shooters from the adjoining counties and 
States. There are seven events on the first day's programme, 
four at 10 and three at 15 targets, 50 and 75 cents entrance. 
Second day, two events, 10 targets each $1; three at 15, each $1.25;

W. Va., and Washington and Frederick counties, Md. Mr. J. W. 
Pentz and Dr. J. P. Bishop, Managers. 
Mr. Ralph L. Trimble, of Covington, Ky., informs us that he is no 
longer a representative of the Du Pont and Hazard powder com- 
panies, and that his release was occasioned by the companies 
having completely retired from the sale of loaded shotgun ammu- 
nition, which formed the basis for introducing those brands of 
smokeless powder into localities where not an ounce of anything 
excepting black powder had been used. Mr. Trimble was under 
the jurisdiction of R. S. Waddell, agent, and traveled through 
the Central and Southern States. He is thoroughly familiar with 
the trade and has a very large personal following. He is a first- 
class shot and has had a number of years of practical business 
experience among sportsmen of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, West 
Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. 
The Labor Day tournament of the Parker Gun Club, Meriden, 
Conn., is open to all, and has a programme of ten events, seven 
at 15 targets, $1.30 entrance; two at 20 targets, $2.40 entrance, 
and one at 30 target, $2.60 entrance, a total of $16.50 entrance for 
the entire programme. To the first high gun, first, second and 
third low guns, $5 each, shooting through the programme. Pro- 
gramme events begin at 9:30. Four moneys, divided by the Rose 
system. Targets 2 cents, included in all entrances. Shooters may 
enter for price of targets only. Should there be time, a miss- 
and out, straightaway, 20yds. rise, $1, and 10 targets, expert rules, 
entrance $1, will be shot. Take electric cars to Hanover Park. 
Under date of Aug. 29, Mr. Samuel Bowker writes us as fol- 
lows: "in regard to the amateur shoot at Natick, Mass., scheduled 
to take place on Sept. 3 (5th if stormy), we are pleased to state 
that from indications so far presented there will be from thirty 
to fifty shooters in attendance. Merchandise values will reach 
about $150, and there will be in all about $75 in added money to 
the sweepstake events. Shooters will be protected by awnings 
over the shooting stand, and stands for spectators have also been 
erected. Experts and professionals are barred from entry except 
for birds only." 
The programme of the fifth monthly shoot of the Greenfield 
Gun Club, Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 5, contains twelve events, of 
which six are at 10 targets, 50 cents entrance; four at 15 targets, 
75 cents, and two at 20, $1 entrance. Targets l 1 ^ cents, included 
in entrance. Shooting commences at 1 o'clock. Moneys divided 
according to the Rose system. Magautrap will be used in all 
events. Dates for private shooting matches can be arranged for 
on application to the secretary, John C. Knode, Greenfield avenue, 
Pittsburg. 
The match for the cast iron badge at Eau Claire, a full account of 
which, written by Mr. Hough, is published in this department, was 
of an exceptionally high order. Heikes won by a score of 99 out 
of 100, the lost bird dying out of bounds, while Gilbert made 
the excellent score of 94, with two dead out of bounds. Heikes 
used his Winchester, with 45grs. of Schultze in a Leader shell, 
while Gilbert, we presume, used his Smith gun and favorite load 
of 3%drs. of Du Pont powder in a Leader shell. 
Mr. Arthur A. Fink, of Reading, Pa., well known for his en- 
thusiasm in matters pertaining to trap-shooting, made a brief call 
in Forest and Stream office on Monday of last week. He re- 
turned on that day to his home. He reported that trap matters are 
active in and about Reading, and that the Mount Penn Gun Club's 
forthcoming tournament, Sept. 5 and 6, of which he is manager, 
was most gratifyingly promising. 
The Interstate tournament at Haverhill, Mass., Sept. 7 and 8, 
closes the events of the Interstate Association for the year. 
The season as a whole has been notably successful, although the 
war interfered with a part of the Interstate programme — the shoots 
at Wilmington, Del., and Portsmouth, Va. No small measure 
of the success was due to the Interstate's skillful manager, Mr. 
Elmer E. Shaner. » 
In the watch charm handicap of the Brockton Gun Club, Aug. 
20, Leonard, Barrett and Allen tied, which tie will be shot off 
on Labor Day. In the 25-target event Grant, Stanley, Barrett, 
Leonard, Donoghue and Allen scored 25 each, Allen making a 
clean score apart from his handicap allowance. The club expects 
to hold an invitation shoot on Labor Day. 
On Saturday of this week at Elkwood Park the Country Club 
cup will be shot for. The conditions are 20 live birds, $20 entrance, 
25 to 30yds. handicap, cup and 40 per cent, to winner; 11:30 A. M. 
On Sept. 7 there will be all-day sweepstake shooting. On Sept. 
10 Mumm prize, 30yds., 5 birds, entrance free; ties miss-and-out.

Aug. 23, $16.25 entrance, birds included, four moneys, Doty killed 
straight and took first money, $56; Brewer was second with 24, 
which won $42; Money and Morfey killed 23, dividing $28, while 
Bunk, Timmons and Daly divided $14 on a score of 22 each. 
The shoot of the Hudson River Trap-Shooters' League, fixed 
for Aug. 24, at Warwick, N. Y., was called off in consequence 
of the non-attendance of the outside members. The Warwick 
shooters were keenly disappointed at the outcome. A club shoot 
Was held instead. 
The Baltimore Shooting Association, Baltimore, Md., has set 
Oct. 18 to 21 inclusive, on which to hold its fourth annual 
fall tomrnament. Two days at targets; two at live birds. Geo. S. 
Harrison, 120 E. Baltimore street, secretary.

Aug. 20, the scores were as follows: Henderson 45, Allison 39, 
Howe 35 plus 2—37, Maynard 20, Higgins 25 plus 10—35, Keene 
27, Tinkham 41, Howard 24, Cook 28. The last four were visitors. 
In the contest for the Chicago challenge trophy, Aug. 26, Mr. 
Thos. P. Hicks, the holder of the trophy, defeated V. L. Cunnyng- 
ham by a score of 23 to 21. Dr. S. Shaw challenged the winner 
forthwith after the contest. 
The Bloomfield Gun Club, Bloomfield, Ind., will hold a target 
tournament on Sept. 28 and 29. This club is a member of the 
Indiana Trap-Shooters' League. 
In the contest for the Troisdorf cup at the Brooklyn Gun Club's 
shoot last Saturday Dr. Smith was the winner after shooting off 
four ties with Mr. Skidmore. 
By referring to our trap fixtures, readers will note that Labor 
Day (Sept. 5) affords ample opportunities for shooters to test 
their skill. 
The next shoot of the Central New Jersey League will take 
place at New Bruns.vick, N. J., Sept. 1.7. 
The regular monthly shoot of the Boiling Springs Gun Club 
takes place on Saturday of this week.

Lake City Gun Club. 
Warsaw, Ind., Aug. 25.— Our tournament, Aug. 17 and 18, 
was well attended, and was successful. 
In almost every issue of sporting papers we see something about 
barring the manufacturers' agents and experts. As for my part, 
I cannot see that it makes much difference, as some of the ahiateurs 
shoot fully as well as the experts, as will be seen by reference 
to the scores of our tournament. 
The highest average for first day was won by Partington, Dr. 
A. F. Britton, of Indianapolis. His score was 115 broken out of 
120 shot at. The highest average for the second day was won by 
Vail, R. Valentine, of Monroeville, O., score 111 out of 125:
