The Glenville Gun Club Co., of Glenville, Ohio, has decided 
to hold a tournament on May 30th annually. The secretary, Mr. 
Robert W. Sterling, informs us that the club possesses a beauti- 
ful shooting park and club house, with ample provision for the 
comfort of all who attend. The programme provides for ten intro- 
ductory practice shoots at 10 targets, followed by 10 events, cif 
which three are at 10 targets, 50 cents entrance, four moneys; 
two at 15, $1 entrance; one at 20, $3 entrance; three events at 
doubles,: 5 pair, 15 pair and 20 pair, respectively, $1, $2 and $3 en- 
trance; and one event at 5 live birds, $5 entrance, money divided 
60 and 40 per cent'., birds extra. Shooting commences at 9 o'clock. 
The programme of the Missouri Amateur Association's ninth 
annual tournament is now ready for disttibution and can be ob- 
tained of the secretary, Mr. Walter F. Bruns, Kansas City, Mo It 
is an artistic production in every detail. Three days' shooting is 
provided, each day having events at both live birds and targets, 
On the first day, April 25! there are two live-bird events — one at 
seven birds, $5, $10 added; one at 15 live birds, $10, entrance, ii^Jri 
added. There arc also 10 blue rock events, nine at 15 targets and 
one at 10 pairs, each having a uniform encrance fee of $1.50, ex- 
cepting No. 10, which is $1; each has $10 added money. Two live- 
bird events are provided for April 26. The first is at seven live 
birds, $5 entrance, $10 added; the second is at 15 live birds, $10 
entrance, $25 added, and is the State amateur championship event. 
The present holder of the medal receives fifty per cent, of net 
entrance, and the remainder of the purses with added money will 
be divided in the usual manner. Ties for this trophy must be shot 
out. There are eight target events on this day, of which No. B, at 
targets, $5 entrance, $20 added, is the State team championship; 
teams of two men. The present holders of the Himter Arms 
Company Cup will receive fifty per cent, of net entrance. The 
other fifty per cent., with added money, will go with the usual 
division; four moneys. Rose system. 
On the third day there will be one event at live birds for the 
Schmelzer Trophy— 20 live birds, $10 entrance, $100 added. Con- 
cerning this the management proclaims that "In order that all 
shooters may have an opportunity of competing for the beautiful 
Schmelzer Irophy the management has decided to accept entries 
from parties who do not wish to participate in the money, at .f5, 
which will pay for the birds only. Those paying $10 entrance fee 
will compete for both trophy and divisions of_ money. These con- 
ditions are made for the sole purpose of catering to those who for 
any reason are opposed to entering a sweeepstake money shoot. 
The trophy will become thje permanent jiroperty of the contestant 
making the highest score iii this contest. All ties for the trophy 
to be shot off at 10 birds." There are 10 target events provided for 
the third day, the entrance to which is $1.50 each, excepting two. 
one at 20 targets, one at 5 pairs or 10 singles, the entrances of 
which are $2 each. Each event has $10 added. Shooting com- 
mences at 9:30. Interstate rules will govern the division of moneys 
in both live-bird, and target events will be governed by the Rose 
system, four moneys, the points being 5, 4, 3, 2, excepting that in 
case of fifty entries or more in the target events there will be five 
moneys. Professionals may shoot for price of targets. Grounds 
will be open for practice April 24. The annual meeting of the 
association will be held at the Midland Hotel on the evening of 
April 25. 
From a representative of the St. Louis Shooting Association 
we have received the following: 
Now that the Grand American Handicap has been decided, and 
in favor of a Western sportsman, the eyes of the shooting world 
are turned to St. Louis, where the twenty-second annual shoot of 
the Missouri State Game and Fish Protective Association will be 
held at Dupont Park May 15 to May 20, under the auspices of 
the newly organized St. Louis Shooting Association. With the ex- 
ception of the tournament at Elkwood Park the shoot at St. Louis 
will be the biggest thing of its kind that will be held this year. 
More added money will be hung up at the Mound City tourna- 
ment than has ever been offered at any similar shoot in the West. 
Besides this there will be medals and trophies galore. The .St. 
Louis Republic has offered a cup, valued at $500, for the champion 
wingshot of the world. What undoubtedly will be pleasant news 
to every honest shooter in the country is the fact that either the 
equitable or Rose systems of divisions of moneys will be used in 
St. Louis. The systems are bound to do away with that old 
habit of "dropping for place" which has marred some of the best 
shoots in previous years. A new club house is being erected at 
Dupont Park which will afford accommodations for 200 sportsmen. 
New traps are being placed, under the supervision of Superin- 
tendent Corray, and everything will be in lovely shape when the 
inaugural day of the shoot rolls around. The St. Louis shooting 
Association is composed of hustling young business men, and they 
will leave nothing undone to make this snoot a grand success. 
The officers of the association have gotten up a programme that 
appeals particularly to the amateur shot, and tliey are an.xious 
that the simon-pure sportsmen journey to St, Louis in large num- 
bers to compete in the tournament. To the professional they say, 
'"Come, and you will be treated royally." 
The annual meeting of the Brockton Gun Club was held at their 
club house on April 9. The following is a list of officers: Presi- 
dent, J. W. Murdock; secretary, A. A. Barrett; treasurer, R. E. 
Brayton; executive committee, C. F. Kneil, W. A. Allen. The 
club is in excellent position financially. One of the prizes for the 
season will be a valuable medal, to be shot for under the following 
conditions: 30 targets, 10 unknown, 10 expert and 5 pairs, highest 
per cent, to win after a stated number of shoots. Merchandise 
prizes at regular intervals. 
Mr, John B, Rogers, Warwick, N. Y., writes us as follows: 
"The annual meeting of the Warwick Gun Glub was held on the 
evening of April 15th. The following officers were elected for the 
enusing year: President, Clinton W. Wisner; vice-president, Geo. 
A. Williams; secretary, John M. Servin; treasurer, James A. Og- 
den; captain, W. Scott Lines; trustees, F. Dunning, J. L. Welch, 
W. S. Lines; handicap committee, John B. Rogers, F. Dunning • 
and W. S. Lines. President C. W. Wisner presented the club 
with a cup to be shot for during the coming season, the condi- 
tions to be made known later. The club is in good fiinancial con- 
dition and the prospects are bright for the coming year." 
The "Illustrated Treatise on the Art of Shooting," by Charles 
Lancaster, in its sixth and popular edition, contains nearly all the 
information of the library edition. The price of the latter is $3; 
that of the popular edition, which is neatly bound in cloth, is 
$1. It contains in concise form hints on the proper manner of 
pointing the gun in making every possible kind of shot, with illus- 
trations to make the matter perfectly clear to the student. Besides 
this, there is a mass of information on gun making, care of the 
gun, chokes, powders, penetration, velocities, pattern, etc., all of 
practical value to the shooter. 
We publish a group of portraits of officers of the Interstate Asso- 
ciation, the gentlemen who have done the executive work in 
making the G. A. H. the great success it has been and is. We 
regret that we were unable to add the portraits of Mr. W. F. 
Parker, of Parker Brothers, director and member of the executive 
and tournament committees; Mr. C. Tatham, of Tatham Brothers, 
member of the club organization committee, and Mr. Paul North, 
of the Cleveland Target Company, and member of the club or* 
ganization committee. 
Mr. Ed. Johnson, of Atlantic City, N. J., and Mr. T. Morfey, of 
Lyndhurst, N. J., will shoot 100-bird match at the latter place on 
Thursday, April 27th, for $250 a side. Mr. Johnson has achieved 
great fame in recent matches, while Mr. Morfey's fame as a match 
shooter is also great. The contest should be of the highest order 
if the men are in their usual good form. 
There will be a shoot between teams to be made up on the 
grounds of the Bergen County Gun Club, Hackensack, N. J., 
April 22. Sweepstake events also will be held. Trains at 12 M., 
1:10 and 2:20 P. M. from the foot of Cortlandt street. C. O. Gard- 
ner, secretary. 
On April 10, the day before the Grand American Handicap was 
begun, three important events were shot, one at five birds, $5 
entrance; one at 10 birds, $10 entrance, and one at seven birds, $7 
entrance.

ON LONG ISLAND. 
Nebraska State Sportsmen^s Association. 
Mr, Geo. Rogers president of the Nebraska State Sportsmen's 
Association, writes as follows anent the coming tournament of 
the Asociation: The twenty-third annual tournament of the Ne- 
braska State Sportsmen's Association will take place at Lincoln, 
Neb., May 2, 3, 4 and 5, under the auspices of the Capital City 
Gun Club. The management has $650 raised and will add it to the 
different events. There will be each day six 15-target races, $1.50 
entry, $15 added to each, and four 20-target races, $2 entry, ,f20 
added. The 15-target events will be open to amateurs only, and 
the 20-target events will be open to the world, and all the cracker- 
jacks are invited. Two years ago the same club held the twenty- 
first annual tournament. I think the manufacturers' agents and 
professionals will admit that Nebraska has always treated them 
fairly, and we think that by making four open events each day 
the entries will be much larger and the purses greater than if we 
had made them all open sweeps. We anticipate nearly all the 
amateurs will want to try conclusions with the cracker-jacks. The 
Missouri amateur shoot precedes ours, and the Illinois State shoot 
at Peoria and the Missouri State shoot at St. Louis follow, and 
we feel sure of a good crowd making the circuit, which makes 
four weeks of continuous pleasure. 
Oceanic Gun Club. 
RoiKAWAv I^ARtc, L. I., April 16,— The first day of this week 
the Oceanic Gun Club held its regular bi-monthly shoot at its 
grounds, Rockaway^ Park, L. I., and the race between the Oceanic 
and the Hudson Gun Club, of Jersey City, had to be postponed 
two weeks on account of inclement weatlier, and the lack of rap- 
1 esentjitives of thf- visiting team.
