FOneST AND STREAM, 
[ApRtL is, 
Mr. Cxeo. Munson, of St. Louis, writes us as follows concerning 
the tournament o£ the St, Louis Shooting Association: "Every 
sportsman of anj' prominence in the United States will be in St. 
Louis from May 15 to May 20. On those days the-twenty-sccond 
annual shoot of the Missouri State Game and Fish Protective As- 
sociation will be held at Du Pont Park, under the auspices of 
the newly organized St. Louis Shooting Association. The man- 
■agernent of this -shoot will be in the hands of prominent young 
.St. Louis business men, who are hustlers from the word go, and 
they nitend to make this event the biggest of its kind ever held 
west ,of New York. Letters have been received by the nianage- 
menl from many crack glials, and they all say they will surely be 
on hand in the Mound City when the shoot commences. Du Pont 
Park, where the shoot will be held, is a grand piece of ground 
just outside of the city limits. It can be reached on two lines of 
cars running from the heart of the city. The management has made 
arrangements to accommodate 200 sportsmen, and they will all be 
treated royally. The following, committee, who will have charge 
of the shoot, were selected at a meeting of the board of directors 
01 the St. f^ouis Shooting Association, held last week: Finance 
Committee: F. Arnold, chairman; (j. Lacy Crawford and H

Sec'y Gibson writes us as follows: "I am pleased to give you 
below a list of the officers elected at the annual meeting of the 
Bellows Falls Gun Club, and hope that you will find spac^ in your 
paper for same, that our friends who live in a wanner Stale may 
know th.it we are still alive. We have not been able to do any 
shooting since Thanksgiving Day, and then we shot in a hard 
snowstorm. We are all very anxious to get out, and as soon as 
the snow gets of? so that we can find the ground we shall get at it. 
If it holds warm for a week or ten days we shall be able 
to get our magautrap out, and when we do we shall keep it hot. 
Following are the officers elected: M. IT. Ray, President; II. H. 
Russell, Vice-President; C. H. Gibson, .Secretary; E. A. Norwood, 
Treasurer; C. E. Capron, Pirst Captain; Rowe VVier, Second Cap- 
tain; W. II. Griswold, H. H. Fassctt, F. G. Flint, Executive 
Committee," 
Mr. J. K. Starr, secretary-treasurer of the Philadelphia Trap- 
Shooters' League, writes us as follows: "The Philadelphia Trap- 
Shooters' League has just held their annual meeting and com- 
pleted their arrangements for this year's series. Eleven of the 
local clubs are now members, and several more are to be invited 
to join. In order to make the League tournaments of special in- 
terest, we will also have an individual membership. Seven tourna- 
ments will be held this year on the grounds of the Florists' Gun 
Club, at Wissinoming. The first tournament will be held on April 
22 and the programmes for that shoot must be ready 'to mail 
by April 15." 
The tournament of the Baltimore Shooting Association will be 
held under the management of Messrs. Charles Macalester, James 
R. Malone and J. C. Hicks. Shells and guns may be shipped 
in care of Alford Sporting Goods Co., No. 120 E. Baltimore street, 
Baltimore, Md., In the target events all shooters will be handi- 
capped by distance; amateurs i4yds.,- semi-experts 16yds.', experts 
18yds. The management reserves the right to change handicaps 
at any time during the tournament. 
For a number of days past one could, in Sportsmen's Row, meet 
champions and famous shooters from all parts of this g:reat land, 
near and remote. Elkwood Park was their objective point, where 
they may be seen en masse this week, a great object lesson to him 
who aspires to be the greatest shot in the world, in that it will 
indicate a part of the diflicult route he must travel and conquer 
as he goes before he reaches the pinnacle. 
Mr. R. Packard defeated J. Cashau on Thursday, April 6, at 
Lyndhurst, in a 50-bird race, each standing at 28yds. Cashau was 
able to kill but 22 out of 50 of Tom Morfey's high-pressure 
birds; Packard killed The previous week Packard, standing 
at 27, defeated Cashau, who stood at 30. There is talk over an- 
other match. 
The reorganization of the Philadelphia Trap-Shooters' League, on 
more liberal lines, in .respect to competition, should insure a season 
of con.stant activity in its competition. The grounds of the Florists" 
Gun Club, at Wissinoming, Pa., will be used exclusively. April 
22 is the date fixed for the first competition. J. K. Starr, sec- 
retary, P. O. Box, 295, Philadelphia, Pa. 
The signs of the times indicate that there is a demand for cheaper 
shooting. The success of the recent live-bird contests about New 
York, Philadelphia, Chicago, etc., the programmes of which per- 
mitted a man to shoot without exhausting his pocketbook, are 
something well worthy of consideration as a guide in small events. 
Mr. Robert A. Welch killed 93 birds to H. J. Coldron's 92 in a 
match at 100 birds on the Spring Valley Shooting grounds, Reading, 
Pa,, April 4, On the following day they were matched to shoot 
two live-bird matches, 100 birds, $250 a side, the first, April 21, 
on the Spring Valley Shooting grounds; the second, April 28, 
on the Riverton Gun Club's grounds, Philadelphia. 
The third team match of a series of five between the Hudson 
Gun Club, of Jersey City, and the Oceanic Rod and Gun Club, 
of Rockaway Park, L. I., will be decided at Rockaway Park, L. I., 
on the first day of next week. Trains leave foot of East Thirty- 
fourth street, N. R., and Flatbush avenue, Brooklyn station of the 
Long Island R. R. at 9 and 11 A. M. 
Messrs. Edward Banks, Elmer E. Shatter, the one official com. 
piler of scores and press representative; the other the manager, 
nave had busy days last week in preparing the infinity of detail 
appertaining to their respective etiices in connection with the 
Grand American Handicap. Few people appreciate the forethought 
and arrangement necessary to insure smooth management. 
Shooting matters are quite active in the affairs of the Boston 
Gun C ub, as will be noted by reports of its shoot presented 
m another column, reports by the way which are always well and 
mlerestmgly written. Mr. G. Woodruff won the B. G. C. watch 
c harm i n the club series of shoots recently finished. 
Mr. T. A. Divine, of Memphis, one of the G. A. H. handicap 
committee, was prevented from acting owing to business cares, 
much to the regret of the other members, which was expressed in 
a written communication to him by the chairman, Mr. Jacob Pentz. 
TIic greatest trap-shooting competition which America ever held, 
m respect both to numbers and the skill and fame of the competi- 
tors, IS the event of superlative interest this week to all who are 
interested in deeds with the gun. 
In the Rochester Rod and Gun Club's shoot, Rochester, N. Y. 
held on April 5, eight men scored 25 or better in. the handicap 
event. They were Messrs. Gibson, Meyer, Weller, Case, McCorfl, 
Beyer, Kr.y and Jones.

The Chamberlain Tournament. 
CHAMBEBSBUJtG, Pa., April 4. — The annual spring tournament of 
the Cliambersburg Shooting, Fish and Game Association, which 
opened to-day, was a grand success all through. Target .shooting 
the first day and live-bird events the second. The opening day 
was certainly an ideal day for target shooting, the sun being out 
bright until about 3:30 P. M., when it began to blow up cold, 
and the wind, which swept over the grounds from the score out- , 
ward played havoc with the targets, and good scores were out of 
the question. 
Manager Fink, of Reading, and the tournament committee of 
the club, who had charge of the tournament, deserve credit for 
the manner in which the tournament was conducted. So as to 
finish all events scheduled on the programme — fourteen in all — 
no intermission was taken for dinner, thus saving time. All events 
were shot, except the team shoot for teams of three men each 
for the championship of eastern Pennsylvania at targets, which 
was declared off, owing to there only being three entries, two 
Chambersburg teams and the .Shuler team, of Pottstown, Pa. 
A warm meal was served on the grounds by a caterer from the 
city, thus saving the trouble of returning to town for a meal. 
The grounds of the Chambersburg Club are situated about one 
and one-half miles out of the city, but can easily be reached by 
carriage, it being a delightful ride along a fine macadam pike, 
which was taken advantage of by the Chambersburg shooters, 
many of whom ride wheels. The grounds upon which the shoot 
was held were recently bought by the club, and a cosey club house 
has been erected thereon at considerable expense to the ckib. 
As the Chambersburg Club is very anxious to have the Penn- 
sylvania State shoot in 1900, which was the talk of the majority 
of the shooters, it would be a good' plan if the Pennsylvania State 
Sportsmen's Association would accept their invitation, as I feel 
sure the shooters cannot be treated any better than they were 
at Chambersburg during their stay at this shoot. 
Among the shooters from places in this State were: Gilson and 
Irwin, of the Shuler Club, of Pottstown; W. H. Burnham, of 
York; M. M. McMillian, of Mahanoy City, and L. S. Hatfield, 
of West Fairview. Cither shooters present from out of town were: 
Thomas H. Keller, of New York, representing the Peters shell; 
Neaf Apgar, of New York, representing the Gun Bore Treatment 
Co., and who .ilso made his debut at this tournament as a repre- 
sentative of the Du Pont Powder Co.; H. P. Collins, of Balti- 
more, Md., representing Hazard and Du Pont powder; E. B. 
Coe. of Baltimore, representing the Parker Gtin ; W. E. Marshall 
(Leland), of Baltimore; Hood Waters (.Schultz), Baltimore; J. L. 
Pentz. of Harpers Ferry, W. Va. ; H. L. Smith, of Martinsburg, 
W. Va^; B. P. Henson, of Hagerstown, Md. Among the local 
.shooters who were interested in the events were: Capt. T. M. Runk, 
President M. R. Rhodes fRussell). W. C. Mc Gowan, D. M. 
Minnick. .1. B. Kennedy, J. S. Vanderau. 
The cashier's de.sk was in charge of W. S. Hoerner, treasurer 
of the club, while the official scorer, H. C. Foltz, had charge of 
the scoring department, and W, P. Seibert was referee. The scores

Second Day, April 5, Live Birds. 
The shooters began to make their appearance on the ground 
as early as 8:30 A. M- The first event, the eiiambersburg intro- 
ductory, 5 live birds, $3 entrance, began promptly at 9 A. lU. 
The birds were a fair lot of flyers, and, assisted by a good wind, 
resulted in many birds being carried out of bounds. The Chambers- 
burg grounds are well adapted for live-bird shooting on account of 
the clear background, there being nothing in the way for a mile. 
Among the new arrivals from out of town were James R. Malone 
and Starr, of JJaltimore, Md. ; Moffett, of New York, and Glad- 
felter, of Hagerstown, Md. The scores follow:

Trap arottnd Kc&dmg* 
Rrading, Pa., April 4. — The live-bird matcli between Robert A. 
Welch, of Philadelphia, and Harry J. Coldren, of this city, shot 
at the Spring Valley Shooting grounds to-day, resulted in a victory 
for Welch by the score of 93 to 92 out of 100 shot at by each man. 
The conditions of the match were 100 live birds per man, $200 
a side, 30yds. rise, 50yds. boundary, with Hurlingham rules to 
govern. Both men shot in excellent form, the fine second-barrel 
work of Welch being very noticeable. Coldren had hard luck in 
having 6 of his 8 lost birds drop dead out of bounds, while Welch 
had 2 dead out of bounds. The birds were a fine lot of bluerocks 
which Welch brought from Philadelphia, that being one of the 
articles of agreement. They were very quick in leaving the traps, 
and often had strength to reach only the boundary line to drop 
dead. At the 70th bird both men had each missed 6. Coldren 
then lost his 78th bird dead out of bounds, it being a straig-ht- 
away from No. 5 trap, and again lost the same kind of a bird 
from the same trap on the 79th round. This left Welch 2 to the 
good, which lead he held until the 96th bird, when he missed a 
straightaway bird from No. 1 trap dead out of bounds. Coldren's 
highest run was 34, while the best Welch could do was 25. Con- 
sinderable money changed hands on the result. The Welch people 
gave odds of $25 to $15, and received quick takers. After tlie 
match was finished the dead birds were all distributed among the 
hospitals of the city. The score:
