The Baltimore Tournament. 
The sixth annual tournament of the Baltimore Shooting Associa- 
tion, Baltimore, Md., was held on Oct. 11, 12, 13 and 14, on the 
grounds of the Association, on Pirrilieo Road. The first two days 
were devoted to target shooting; the last two to live-bird shoot- 
ing. Both target and live-bird shooting had handicap condi- 
tions. In the former the shooters stood at 14} 16 and 18yds., ac- 
cordingly as they were classed as amateurs, semi-experts or ex- 
perts. The targets were thrown after the Sergeant system. There 
was $300 added money. _ , 
The weather was all that could be desired on the three first days, 
excepting some windiness; on the fourth there .was much rain 
and unfavorable conditions therefore for good shooting. Mr. James 
R. Malone managed the shoot, assisted now and then by other 
members of the Association. Mr. H. P. Collins, of the Du Pont 
Powder Co., looked after the cashier's department. Mr. L. Jory 
was the scorer in the target competition. Mr. R. A. Scharf filled 
the office in the live-bird events. 
The programme was a good one. There were ten target events 
each day, six of which were at 20 targets, $2 entrance; four at IS. 
targets, $1.50 entrance, with $10 added money in each event. There- 
were four moneys, 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. With such a pro- 
gramme the shooters did not appear to give it their support further 
than what is apparent in the scores given herewith. 
There was nothing of special interest in the way of remarkable 
shooting, if that, of Hawkins on the second day at the 18yd. mark 
is excepted, a degree of skill which warranted his shooting at the 
18yd. mark. 
Tuesday, Oct. H, First Day. 
A strong, fiuky wind, blowing quartering and at times straight 
toward the shooters at the score, made very difficult competition. 
The scores of the steadiest shooters were cut down by the erratic 
target flights, caused by the irregular wind mentioned. Edward 
Banks and Hood Waters tied on .SS8 per cent., although the 
scores erroneously give Banks but IS in No. 3 event instead of 19, 
the number which he broke. Leroy was close up with .877 per 
cent., one target less than Banks and Waters. 
The 15-target . events were $1.50 entrance, 20-target events, $A 
The handicaps in yards are placed after the names of the shoot- 
ers. While theoretically 2yds. more or less does not seem to be 
much of a handicap to" the experts, in practice it was found to 
make a slight difference, as a time and lead which would be cor- 
rect in shooting at 16vds. was found at times to be faulty at 
18yds., so that there was some difficulty encountered m making 
scores' at that distance up to the expert's average.

cent, of .927. Leroy was next with .911, also a very good- 
average. As in the first day's scores, the figures after the 
names denote the handicaps. Some extra events were shot in 
the morning, $1 entrance, with the following results:

Thursday, Oct. 1 3, Third Day. 
The weather was calm, clear and pleasant. The sun shone clear 
and bright. The conditions were all in favor of high scores, but 
the excellent quality of the birds, and the somewhat difficult feat- 
ures of the grounds, they sloping gradually upward from No. 3 
trap to the left, and from the same trap downward to the right. 
Most of the birds were first class, with some easy ones sand- 
wiched in now and then, rather trying even to the well-schooled 
shooter. The regular programme was not begun till afternoon, 
the morning being devoted to $2 miss-and-outs, in which the scores 
were as follows:

The Interstate Association. 
A review of the Interstate Association's season of 1898 is fresh 
from the press. As no association approaches this Association in 
its power, prestige, influence and broad purpose, the following 
review is taken almost in its entirety to set forth what the Associ- 
ation has done in the passing year, and what it contemplates for 
the future: 
" 'By their fruits you shall know them' is an old maxim, the 
truth of which needs no demonstration. The truly great among 
men are those who have proven their right to the title by their 
deeds. 'Deeds, not words,' have been their watchword. This has 
during the past eight years been the policy of the Interstate 
Association. It was organized primarily for the encouragement 
of trap-shooting and the advancement of its interests, as well 
as the elimination of all that would tend to retard the furtherance 
and perpetuation of this line of sport. The history, achievements 
and unparalleled successes in its chosen field are of such a per- 
manent and lasting character as needs no commendation. Its 
'deeds' speak for themselves to the great army of sportsmen 
throughout the country. During its existence it has been in the 
vanguard of every effort to improve and encourage not only the 
condition of. the individual shooter, but the segregated body of 
sportsmen as well. 
"At a meeting of the Association held at Madison Square 
Garden, New York, Jan. 17, 1897, a resolution was adopted which 
concerned every sportsman throughout the country. It is self- 
explanatory and is given in full below : 
"The wisdom of such a move was questioned at the time, but 
money or otherwise, and all those connected in any way with 
companies manufacturing guns, shot, shells, powder, targets and 
traps shall be barred from participating in sweepstakes and purses, 
but will be perfectly welcome to shoot for targets only and display 
their goods. The decision as to w'ho such paid men are to be 
left at all times to the manager, whose decision shall be final. 
" 'Resolved, That the foregoing does not apply in any way to 
the Grand American Handicap tournament.' 
" 'The wisdom of such a move was questioned at the time, but 
after a season's trial and a careful consensus of the good resultant 
therefrom, we incline to the belief that the action of the Associa- 
tion is fully justified, and is a step in the right direction. 
"A careful perusal of the statistical data which appear in the 
pages following will clearly show that the season of 1898 has met 
our anticipations. We were compelled to cancel two tournaments, 
owing entirely to the war with Spain." 
The Grand American Handicap. 
"The inaugural tournament for 1898 was the sixth annual Grand 
American Handicap at live birds, which was decided at Elkwood 
Park, near Long Branch, N. J., March 22, 23, and 24. The Inter- 
state Association guaranteed $1,500 (and all surplus added) in the 
m:iin cVent, which was shot tinder the following conditions, viz.: 
25 live birds, $25 entrance, 50yds. boundary, with a dead line at 
33 yds., high guns to win, and moneys to be divided in accordance 
with the number of entries received. 
"In a'ddition to guaranteeing $1,500, the Interstate Association 
presented to the winner of first place a sterling silver trophy 
commemorative of the win. 
"As each recurring handicap exceeded its predecessors, there was 
the greatest difficulty in the practical management of it up to two 
years ago, "owing to the insufficient equipment of grounds for its 
peculiar needs. The large entry of 1896 made necessary the run- 
ning of extra sets of traps, which in turn made necessary a new 
system of scoring to meet the new requirements, and further 
suggested the ' need of quicker trapping and retrieving, all of 
which was so nicely perfected by the opening of the Elkwood Park 
shooting grounds in 1897 that the opportunities to shoot in the 
last two handicaps kept nearly an even pace with the requirements 
of the shooters at the score. 
"To accomplish all this so perfectly every important part of the 
management of the tournament was in a high degree specialized. 
The Interstate Association engaged only the best trained talent 
for every working department of the tournament, with the result 
that it was conducted from start to finish without any material 
break. 
"The system of dividing the moneys which prevailed in 1896 
and 1897 was adopted again for 1898, the divisions, however, being 
graduated up to 170 entries for this year's event. The entries 
numbered 207, of which number 102 were regular entries at $25 
each, 5 were penalty or post entries at $35 each, and 10 were 
forfeits at $10 each, making the total purse amount to $5,075. The 
purse tinder the system of division of moneys adopted by the 
Interstate Association provided for 25 moneys. There were nine 
straight scores of 25 made which took the first nine moneys — 
$3,713.75~a total of $412.65 each. Twenty-two tied on 24 out of 
25 and divided the next sixteen moneys — $1,361.25 — each man re- 
ceiving $61.85. The nine men with straight scores of 25 shot off 
the tie, miss-and-out, for the silver trophy. This was won by 
Mr. E. D. Fulford, on the 2Sd round. 
"With a total of 197 shooters facing the traps, it is impossible, in 
this review, to give the score of each individual. The following, 
however, shows the score of each of the money winners : 
Twenty-five straight: E. D. Fulford, 29yds.; Geo. W. Loomjs, 
28yds. ; Jim Jones, 27yds. ; U. Bender, 27vds. ; W. R. Patten, 27yds. ; 
T. P. Laflin, 28yds.; R. O. Heikes, 30yds.; Wm. Wagner, 27yds.; 
T. A. R. Elliott, 31yds.

"Two hundred and eleven shooters took part in the tournament 
and $9,069.40 was divided in different purses. The total number 
of live birds trapped was 6,231." 
(Here follow reviews of the tournaments at Macon and 
Brunswick, Ga, ; Meadvillc, Pa.; Meriden, Conn.; Waterville, Me.; 
and Haverhill, Mass., all of such recent date that those events 
are comparatively fresh in the minds of our readers.). 
The recapitulation sets forth some most interesting statistics. 
The summary of the work is as follows: 
"Shooters taking part, 471; live birds trapped, 7,217; targets 
trapped, 60,145; money divided in purses, $13,757.20. 
"The results as above given show an increased activity and very- 
favorable comparison with that of the preceding season. The 
totals fall a trifle short as compared with 1S97, but it should be 
remembered that two scheduled tournaments were cancelled, due 
entirely to the war with Spain. This, coupled with the fact that 
the tournaments were given at relatively far distant points, the 
results indeed are very gratifying." 
For 1899 the Interstate review sets forth that "it is the inten- 
tion to perfect arrangements for giving the most interesting series 
of tournaments during the season of 1899 yet proposed in the 
history of the Association. Clubs contemplating holding tourna- 
ments and desiring the assistance of the Interstate Association 
should have their applications in the hands of the manager by 
Dec. 10, 1898, in order that they may be presented to the tourna- 
ment committee for action thereon at the annual meeting of the 
Association, Dec. 15, 1S98. Communications relating to inanimate 
target tournaments should be sent to the manager's home ad- 
dress: Elmer E. Shaner, 122 Diamond Market, Pittsburg, Pa.'' 
New Jersey Central League. 
Bound Brook, N. J., Oct. 15.— Following are the scores in the 
club contest of the New Jersey Central League, shot at Bound 
Brook to-day, conditions, 25 targets per man, five-men teams, 
Sergeant system. There was a high, puffy cross-wind. Excepting 
a large tree on the left quarter, the background was good. The 
contest took place on the new grounds, one-half mile trom town. 
The targets were thrown fast, and the shooting was hard.

PUBLISHERS' DEPARTMENT. 
To Omaha and the Vest. 
During World's Fair year the railroad service of the country 
attracted the attention and admiration of the world, and ever 
since it has been the aim of all first-class roads to maintain the 
high standard then established. The Northwestern Line has not 
only succeeded in doing this, but has even made further advances 
in equipment and service. The running time throughout the 
entire system has been reduced to the minimum consistent with 
absolute safetv, and it is justified in its boasts that its run from 
Chicago to Denver is the greatest railroad achievement of the age. 
"The Colorado Special" leaves Chicago daily at 10 A. M., and 
reaches Denver early the following afternoon. The journey from 
Chicago to the Rocky Mountains in less than forty-eight hours' 
Think of it! Strolling through "The Colorado Special," one is 
reminded of the magnificance of the enchanted palaces of the 
Arabian Nights, and the illusion is heightened rather than dis- 
pelled by the marvellous conveniences created by Twentieth Cen- 
tury Ingenuity. j, 
"The Colorado Special" passes by daylight through the Garden 
State of the world, Iowa, reaching Omaha in the evening. The 
traveler, however, who goes as far as Omaha should not fail to 
go to the Rocky Mountains, to see the intervening country and 
the beautiful scenery of the West. 
This train frequently makes eighty-seven miles in eighty-five 
minutes, while the passenger takes his ease in the drawing room 
or buffet car, with its reading room, bath room, barber, shop, etc., 
or at the dinner table, where meals are served "a la carte," a way 
which commends itself, as the traveler may sometimes desire only 
a lunch and not an elaborate dinner, which, however, he can ob- 
tain on this train, served as perfectly as in any metropolitan 
With such splendid facilities as are offered those who go by the 
Northwestern Line, the travel to the West this season will doubt- 
less be unprecedented, and tourists may be sure of having the best 
of everything if they purchase tickets via the Chicago, Union 
Pacific & Northwestern Line and take "The Colorado Special." 
Excess fares are no longer charged on this train.— Adv. 
The Mullins Game Carrier. 
Mr. Wm. H. Mui-lins, of Salem, O., has devised an extremely 
convenient game basket attachment, fitted on the outside of the 
cockpit of his well-known duck boats, so arranged that the game 
can drain off without wetting the inside of the boat. Mr. Mullins 
tells us that the carriers can be used on any of his boats already in 
service. A new catalogue of Mullins' duck boats and other sport- 
ing equipments will be sent to any address. , 
Lift up our eyes to the heights where, glory-crowned, the 
genius of American liberty points; and to know all that a sports- 
man requires to know about the game laws within the genius's 
purview equip yourselves with the Game Laws in Brief.
