Sec'y, 216 North Pennsylvania street, Indianapolis, Ind. 
Elmer E. Shaner has been in the mountains of Pennsylvania 
for a couple of weeks, forming one of a party known as '"Hie 
Rainmakers." Not that the party vise black powder; their nick- 
name came to them from their usual bad luck in the matter of 
rainy weather while on their annual camp hunt. Mr. Shaner 
■will next be heard from at the annual meeting of the Interstate 
Association, to be held early in December. It may not be gener- 
ally known that the tournament at Haverhill, Mass., was the 
fiftieth tournament managed by Mr. Shaner for the Association, 
.viz., six Grand American Handicaps and forty-four target tourna- 
"ments. 
J. S. S. Remsen, president of the Brooklyn Gun Club, has re- 
turned from his trip to Maine. While the party he was with did 
not get a moose trophy, they had a good time, and could have 
killed any quantity of deer. Moose they report as very scarce; 
that is, bull moose, for they saw nine cow and calf, moose during 
their stay in the woods. One of Mr. Remsen's party killed a cari- 
bou, while another brought home an albino deer with a very 
pretty hide. 
It will be good news to many people to learn that Noel E. 
Money, late secretary of The American E. C. & Schultze Gun 
Powder Company, is in all probability now on his way to visit 
this country, business calling him to make the trip to San 
Francisco. His stay here will be short, as business interests in 
Europe demand his attention the greater part of the year. It will 
be necessary therefore to be thankful for small mercies. 
It is understood that the Carteret Club has issued challenges for 
four-men team races at live birds to the Riverton Gun Club, the 
Herron Hill Gun Club, of Pittsburg, Pa., and to the Chicago 
Gun Club. In all probability favorable answers will be received 
from at least two of the challenged clubs. The races ought to 
prove very interesting and close, as both Riverton and the Herron 
Hill gun clubs can get together strong teams of four men on a 
side. 
The proposed exhibition of fancy shooting by Rolla Heikes and 
Fred Gilbert on the grounds of the Riverton Gun Club, Phila- 
delphia, Pa., has been postponed indefinitely. The exhibition 
was to have taken place on the .18th inst., "but was found to 
clash with the tournament at Blooming Grove Park, which will 
he a big event in amateur circles. 
U. M. C. Thomas, who, with Mrs. Thomas, has been visiting 
the exhibition at Omaha, and other Western points for the past 
few weeks, has returned to Bridgeport well satisfied with his trip. 
He remarks that you can't keep good people down, and incidental- 
ly adds that the factory at Bridgeport is working five nights 
each week. 
Lou Harrison, of Minneapolis, Minn., is once more in New 
York. He has come East for his usual winter visit, and made his 
debut for this season at the live-bird shoot of the New Utrecht 
Gun Club, held on Saturday last, Nov. 12, at Woodlawn, L. I. 
Mr. Harrison is always a welcome guest at any club gathering 
around New York, 
The Keystone Shooting League announces a Thanksgiving Day 
shoot, to be held on the club's grounds at Holmesburg Junction, 
Philadelphia, Pa. The shooting will commence at 10:30 A. M. 
There will be a 25-bird handicap, $10 entry. $150 guaranteed, 
divided 50, 30 and 20 per cent., birds extra, and numerous sweeps. 
It has been found necessary to postpone the shoot announced 
for Nov. 23 by the Bergen County Gun Club, of Hackensack, 
N, J., on account of its occurring one dav before Thanksgiving 
Day. It will probably be brought off on the 30th inst., or on 
Dec. 7, the exact date to be anounced next week. 
The Philadelphia Trap-Shooters' League will hold their monthly 
team match and open tournament on the grounds of the Florists' 
Gun Club, at Wissinoming, on Saturday, Nov. 19. The shoot will 
be under the auspices of the Delaware Gun Club. Fifteen target 
even Is are on the programme. 
The Thanksgiving Day shoot of the Boiling Springs Gun Club 
:il Rutherford, N. J., will be one of the usually large holiday 
gatherings to be found on the grounds of this popular club. One 
hundred pounds of turkey meat "in the feather" will be distributed 
;is prizes to the lucky winners. 
Tbos. Donley has secured 5,000 live birds for his tournament, to 
be held at St. Thomas, Ontario, Can., on Dec. 27-30. There will 
also be target events. Added money and guaranteed purses will 
he announced later in the programmes. Jack Parker will 
manage this shoot, 
Gil Hatfield, the ex-New York baseball player, is making rapid 
strides as a trap-shooter. One year ago he couldn't hit a barn, as 
the saying goes, and liberal handicaps were his lot. During the 
whole of last season he practiced assiduously, and made good 
pi ,.es». _ jjuring tne summer months of this year he played 
ball, leaving his gun and- the target traps seyerely alone, only 
to hlo='-om forth last Saturdav at the Brooklyn Gun Club's shoot 
with 47 out of 50 in the club handicap, in which he had an 
auowance of 13 extra target to shoot at! He broke 3 straight 
of that allowance, and walked away from the score with his hat 
on one side and a chip on his right shoulder! 
Justus von Lengorke hunts just as regularly this season as he 
has done in the past. Hut "birds are Scarce this year," and Justus' 
game pockets do not bulge as in former years. Birds must indeed 
be scarce when he cannot bring them home. 
Where is Ed Taylor, of the Laflin & Band Powder Company? 
He hrfs not been seen around "sporting goods row" for over a 
week- Report has it that he i* taking a well-earned vacation, and 
bagging a few quail on the side. 
John L. Lequin, secretary ot the Hazard Powder Company, in 
company with Harry Palmer, et alia, purposes making a trip into 
the country the latter end of this week, quail and grouse being the 
objects sought by the party. 
In the six-men team races between teams of the University of 
Pennsylvania and Harvard, at Cambridge, Mass., last week * the 
former won by a total of 140 against 134, each man shooting at 
30 targets. 5 
The tournament of the Eau Claire - Gun Club takes place this 
week, Nov. 15-17, at Eau Claire, Wis. Two days will be devoted 
to targets, and one to live birds. The tournament is open to 
all. 
On Nov. 8 John Rothacker defeated Felix by a score of 82 to 
79, in a race at 100 live birds.

Soo Gun Club. 
Sioux City, la., Nov. 10.— The Soo Gun Club had for a

live birds, five at single targets, and one at pairs. Til

The Intercollegiate Championship. 
Monmouth Junction, N, J., Nov. 12.— The annual contest for 
the intercollegiate championship at targets was decided to-day on 
the grounds at this place. Yale proved the winners, but by the 
narrowest of margins, as both Harvard and Pennsylvania, who tied 
for second honors, were only one break behind the winners. 
The scores were: Yale 108, Harvard and Pennsylvania 107, Prince- 
ton 95. 
The winners took away a handsome silver trophy, emblematic 
of the intercollegiate championship, and also five smaller trophies, 
one for each member of the winning team. Bancroft, of Harvard, 
won the prize for highest individual score in the match, his total 
of 27 out of 30 going a long way toward placing his team in second 
place. Yale's win was the result of good team work, each member 
making a good average, while in the case of both Harvard and 
University of Pennsylvania there were weak spots in the teams. 
The scores were: 
Yale.

average was 72 per cent., while Harvard and Pennsylvania were 
close up with .713.

Trap around Reading. 
Reading, Pa., Nov. 10. — A private shooting match at live birds 
was held on the new Spring Valley shooting grounds, near this 
city to-day between Robert Welsh, of Philadelphia, and Midget, 
a well-known shot of this city. Each man shot at 100 live birds, 
30yds-. rise. The birds were all fine flyers, and went off like 
streaks when liberated from the traps. The new underground 
traps of Mr. Seidel's invention worked finely. Mr. Seidel has 
spent $3,500 this season to make these grounds one of the finest 
in the country, and has succeeded. Mr. Welsh killed 95, while 
Midget shot rather poorly, scoring only 88 killed, with 5 dead 
out of bounds. 
Norristown, Pa., Nov. 12.— The monthly medal shoot of the 
Penn Gun Club, of this place, was held to-day. Mr. J. R, Yost 
was the successful contestant. A sweep at 25 targets followed. 
Scores: Cassel 23, Kriebel 23, Jenkins 23, Franklin 23, J. R. Yost 
20, Keherer 36, Ritter 15, Gleason 16, Penn 16, Derr 15. 
Mohrsville, Pa., Nov. 11. — A preliminary meeting was held at 
1 he Central Hotel', this place, to organize a gun club, and already 
thirty-five names are on the list of membership. Temporary 
officers were chosen, and a committee appointed to purchase 
three traps and 1,000 targets. It was also decided to hold the 
first shoot on Nov. 24, on the new grounds, which a friend has 
kindly donated to the club free of charge. 
Pottstown, Pa. — At a recent meeting of the Shuler Shooting 
Club, of this place, it was decided to hold an all-day target 
tournament on Nov. 24. If the weather should prove unfavorable 
the shoot will be held on the 30th, on the club's grounds at 
W-st End. This tournament is open to all, no shooters barred. 
As there is a shoot at Spring Valley Shooting Grounds, near 
Reading, on the 22d and 23d, this tournament of the Shuler 
Club should attract quite a number to Pottstown on Thanks- 
giving Day. As yet the manager of the Shuler tournament has 
not been selected. It is very probable that manager Arthur A, 
Fink, of Reading, will be selected by the committee, as his 
name has been mentioned for the position. The Shuler Club 
has fine grounds, with an excellent background for target shoot- 
ing, and all shooters who happen to get to Pottstown will receive 
a hearty welcome and a good time. Duster. 
East Side, of Newark. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
The East Side Gun Club, of Newark, N. J., will hold another 
live-bird handicap, similar to the most successful one shot on 
Election day, on Thursday, Nov. 24, Thanksgiving Day, at their 
grounds, run by Smith Bros., at Foundry street and Plank 
Road, Newark. This will be the fifth handicap held by the club 
this year, and each one has been a success. Regarding the quality 
of the birds, suffice it to say that but 76 per cent, were killed at 
the contest on Election day, and no straight scores were made 
by any one of the entries on that day. The grounds are as fast 
as any in the State of New Jersey, and the birds, as supplied by 
the Messrs. Smith Bros., are as good as can be obtained any- 
where. The handicap will be, as heretofore, a yard added to 
winners of first money, and one-half yard added to winners of 
second money in previous handicaps; newcomers to be handi- 
capped by officers of the club. These handicaps favor the novice 
in live-bird shooting, as the entrance is small, and as the purses 
are divided by the Rose system in proportion of 6, 3, and 1 if 
less than ten entries, and 6, 3, 2 and 1 for ten entries or over, the 
expert shooting anywhere near the rear handicap has no cause 
to complain. At the before-mentioned class handicap the 14s 
divided first money, or $15 each; second money was $7.50; third 1 
$5, and fourth $2.50 each. The entrance will be' $5 each, 15 birds, 
price of birds extra at 25 cents each, as in the previous handi- 
cap. Shooting begins at 10 o'clock A. M., and the main or 
handicap event will begin as sooon as ten entries or over are 
obtained for it approximately at 1 o'clock P. M., those arriving 
later may enter up to the 30th round. The days are now getting 
short, remember, and it behooves the lover of live-bird shooting 
to' get there on time. Plenty of birds will be on hand for side 1 
matches or sweepstakes up to the time of the main event, (let 
thOre at 30 o'clock, if possible.
