Baltimore Shooting Association Tournament. 
Baltimore, Md., April 28.— The sixth annual tournament of our 
Association, April 25-28, was brought to a close this evening with 
the conclusion of the Maryland handicap, at 25 birds, $25, with 
$100 added money, in which there were only eleven entries, the 
honors being carried off by Col. Thos. Martin, of Bluffton, S. C, 
with a straight score, netting, $146.25, while second money on 24 
was divided between Col. Sedam, of Denver; Hay ward, of 
Baltimore; Glover, of Rochester, and Le Roy; and Hood captured 
third money all alone. We were most fortunately blessed with 
beautiful weather, and can only express our regrets and deep 
disappointment at the slim attendance from out-of-the-city shooters, 
as we had every reason to expect a much larger attendance. We 
are at a serious loss to account for this, because we think we 
oflered a liberal programme in the way of added money and 
no one barred. No- doubt we suffered to some extent from the 
result of the previous week's shoot at Prospect Park, as a number 
who were in attendance there and had intended remaining over 
for our tournament, because provoked at their refusal to put up 
the added money on the last day, and, like the Arab, they quietly 
packed up their guns and as silently stole away. However, we 
had, all in all, a very pleasant time; all of the added money as 
called for by our programme, was forthcoming, and not a com- 
plaint was made. ^ • r.i a 
We had as visitors from out-of-town: Col. Thos. Martin, Blutt- 
ton, S. C. ; Col. T. S. Sedam, Denver, Colo.; Sim Glover, Roches- 
ter; B. Leroy Woodard, Campello, Mass.; Pentz, of Harper's 
Ferry; E. C. Burkhardt, Buffalo; B. H. Norton, of the Hazard 
Powder Company, New York; Mrs. Milt. Lindsley (Wanda) and 
Thos. Keller, of the Peters Cartridge Company and Kmg Powder 
Company, while the following representatives upheld the honors 
of the B. S. A.: Messrs. Macalester, Hicks, Collins, Malone, 
Ducker, Harrison, Dr. Brooks, Hood Waters, Marshall, Mann, 
Ducker, Fox, Hawkins, Richardson and Gent. 
While we suffered somewhat financially, owing to the small 
attendance, still we don't complain, and are under great obligations 
to those who honored us, and in conclusion can only add we 
hope to have you all with us again at no distant day.

Fitchbarg Rifle and Gun CIub» 
FiTCHBURG, Mass., April 21.— The Fitchbijrg Rifle and Gun Club 
opened the season by a shoot at their traps Wednesday, April 19. 
About thirty took part in the excellent sport. It was an ideal 
day, but scores were not high generally, for most of the men were 
rusty, and several had new guns, all of which conspired to keep 
the scores down. The shooting began about 10:30 and lasted until 
night, when Federhan, of Leominster Club, was way in the lead 
with 90 per cent, to his credit, tie shot in fine form and was 
easily the star of the shoot. Messrs. Burbank, Spring and Wood, 
of the Leominster Club, also shot, and did good work. Of the 
Fitchburg Club men who shot E. R. Wilbur, Jr., M. A. Cutler, 
W. K. Smith, E. W. Giison and S. W. Putnam, 3d, showed up 
better than their fellow members. , , 
In addition to the trap shooting, there was a rifle and revolver 
practice, and Ed Starkey did fine work at both 25 and 50yds. 
with the revolver. Quite a number of members are becommg in- 
terested in revolver shooting, and it will be made more of a feature 
of the club work in the future. The shoot was a success, and was 
enjoyed by a large number of spectators in the afternoon. I in-

EtJGENE DOEINCK. 
Brooklyn Gan Club. 
Brooklyn, L. I., April 29.— The weather was charming, the day 
being a blending of spring and summer as to weather. There was 
a clear light, no wind of any consequence, and a balmy feeling in 
the air, all of which w-ere conducive to good scores. The magau- 
trap was kept going till near dark. 
John Wright contemplates giving an all-day target shoot some 
time before May 15, and this insures at the start that it will be 
a success, for the amiable manager of the Brooklyn Gun Club 
studies deeply beforehand what prizes will be useful and pleasing 
to his clientele. Capt. J. A. H. Dressel was among the visitors;- 
as were also Mr. Lincoln and Miss Randall. No. 10 w-as a handi- 
cap at 15 birds, and was won by Remsen in a tie with Hopkins. 
No. 11 also was a handicap. No. 12 was the prize event, a subscrip- 
tion to Forest and Stream. 
It was a handicap. Waters shot for targets only. Smith, 
Cramer and Skidmore tied, and in the shoot-ofT Dr. Cramer and 
Smith tied. In the shoot, Smith was scratch man and Cramer 
had 3 as a handicap; score, Smith 9, Cramer 10. Nos. 13 and 14 
were at 15 singles and 5 pairs.

''Important if True." 
The following clipping is from the Chicago Times-Herald, of 
April 29, and seems to. eifectually settle the matter of the .time 
and place at which the Grand American Handicap will be' held 
next year— excepting what the Interstate Association may deter- 
mine for itself later. While the modest laudation has a good basis 
in fact, there is some doubt as to the correctness of the matter 
concerning the G. A. H. The clipping is as follows: 
"It is more that probable that the Grand American Handicap 
shoot will be held in the West next year. Already Eastern shooters 
have broached the idea of transferring the great event from Elk- 
wood Park westward, and Western sportsmen stand ready to 
make all the necessary arrangements. 
"The West has not asked for the shoot. The overtures have 
from leading Eastern trap-shooters themselves. Yesterday E. S. 
Rice, the well-known manager, received a letter from Irby Bennett, 
vice-president of the Interstate Association, practically assuring 
Mr. Rice that the West could have the shoot if it wanted to. 
Mr. Bennett wanted to know what arrangements could be made 
for holding the shoot here. As Mr. Bennett is also chairman 
of the committee on grounds and location the letter mayj. be re- 
garded as a direct proposal. . 
"The showing made by the Western shooters in the last tour- 
nament was probably the most potent factor in aiding the Eastern 
shooters to arrive at the conclusion which was expressed', i'ft the 
letter by Mr. Bennett. The Westerners in the last shoot- inlade an 
impression on the Eastern trapsmen, which the -latter are..'nat 'liable 
to soon forget. First prize went to Tom Marshall,, of -'Keiths- 
burg 111., and practically every other trophy worth having was 
carried westward. The party conducted by Mr. Rice contained a 
greater number of winners than has ever been the case before. 
"Before the shooters left for the East the matter of a Western 
association was also under discussion. It was intended to hold 
a great shoot in Chicago ne.xt year, at which it was asserted 
every shooter of note west of the AUeghanies would be present,"
