Q7i 
In his report of the Nebraska State toumatneht, Mr. Paul R. 
Litzke mentions a phenomenal squad record, five men breaking 
20 targets each, making thereby a score of 100 without a miss. 
The men were Messrs. Rogers, Daniels, Duer, Young and Parme- 
lee. 
There will be a great contest in St. Louis next week, and there 
is a probability of lively times to follow in the effort to readjust 
possession of the different trophies by men who can shoot, want 
to shoot and will shoot. 
At the Kansas City shoot it was suggested that efforts be made 
to match the two grand veterans of the sport, Capt. Money and 
Capt. Sedam, in a pigeon contest of 100 birds. It was further pro- 
posed that this contest take place during the Missouri State 
tournament at St. Louis. 
In the report of the Boston Gun Club's shoot is some admirably 
sound, though gentle criticism on high scores, which are con- 
sidered merely as high scores apart from the true sport of 
trap-shooting. Read it and observe it. 
We have received a photograph of the squad which broke the 
world's record in competition at the Peru tournament, but too late 
for publication this we'ek. Next week we will be pleased to 
publish a reproduction of it. 
Mr. W. C. Collins, secretary of the Greenville Gun Club, Kell's 
Point, Jersey City, N. J., informs us that his club will shoot every 
Saturday till further notice. 
On Saturday of this week, at Elkwood Park, Long Branch, N. J,, 
there will be a live-bird handicap, 20 live birds, $10 entrance, 
handicaps from 25 to 32yds. Plenty of birds arc on hand for 
sweepstakes. 
The new board of trustees of the Chicago challenge trophy, 
elected recently are: Messrs. F. H. Lord, chairman; Wm. B. 
Lefiingwell and F. A. Bissell. 
At the Osceola shoot, Heikes and Gilbert tied for general aver- 
age on targets. Charley Budd beat them all at pigeons, killing 25 
straight in the handicap. 
The third annual May tournament will be held at Audubon Park 
on May 30 and 31. There ars ten target events each day. W. C. 
Garbe, Manager. 
The Brooklyn Gun Club, John Wright, manager, will hold its 
monthly shoot on Saturday of this week. 
Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, manager of the Interstate Association, was 
in New York a few days early this week.

The Inanimate Target Championship. 
The inanimate target championship and the E. C. trophy that 
foes with that title, are both held by Rolla O. Heikes at present, 
t is possible, however, that the title and trophy may have another 
owner shortly, as the American 'E. C & Schultze Gun Powder Co. 
has signified its intention of redeeming the trophy and putting 
it up for open competition at the Missouri State shoot, which is 
to be held at St. Louis, May 16-20 next. 
As is well known, the conditions of all open competitions for this 
trophy are as follows : 100 targets, unknown angles ; 100 targets, 
expert rules, one man up, and 60 pairs, or 300 targets in all. 
The trophy was first put up for competition by the company 
above mentioned at its tournament. May 5-8, 1896, held at Gut- 
tenbur^, N. J. Since that time there has been one other open 
competition for the trophy, and four individual matches, making 
six contests in all. Strange as it may seem, notwithstanding all 
the excellent target shots there are in the country, the trophy 
has never been held by anybody except Heikes or Gilbert. In 
fact, with the solitary instance of Fuliord's challenge to Heikes 
late last year, no one else has ever put in any claim for the 
championship.

ON LONG ISLAND. 
Oceanic Rod and Gun Club. 
Rockaway Park, L. I., May 1.— A strong wind blowing from the 
score to the traps made the targets skip and jump after the man- 
ner of lambs in springtime. The Oceanic Gun Club was holding 
its last shoot of the season, and, different from its la,st two or 
three prior shoots, delightful weather favored it. There were 
not suflicient members of one team to make the necessary con- 
test, so a nine-men team race was made up between New York 
and New Jersey, witli the result that the latter won by 6 targets; 
score 158 to 152. The scores were: 
New York State— Scott 16, Woods 15, Jennings 18, Stoney 20, 
Charles 15, DifHey 15, Leoble 13, Laney 19, Waters 21—152.

The Altoona Shoot. 
Altoona, Pa., May 5. — hditor forest and Stream : The programme 
for the two days' target tournament, to be given by the Tyrone 
Gun Club is ready for distribution. Copies can be had by writing 
to D. D. Stine, secretary, Tyrone, Pa. There are ten events for 
each day. On Friday, May 26 events Nos. 1, 2, 6, 8 and 10 are at 
10 singles, ?1 entrance; Nos. 3, 5 and 9, 15, singles, $1.50; Nos. 4 
and 7, 20 singles, the former $2 entrance and the latter four-men 
■club team race, class shooting, three moneys, $2. Saturday, the 
27th, events Nos, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 9, are at 10 singles, entrance $1; 
Nos. 3 and 7, 15 singles, $1.50; No. 5, 25 singles, $2.50, and No. S, 
20 singles, $2. 
The equitable system of dividing purses (with the exception of 
•event No. 7, first day) will be used; in 10-target races, four moneys; 
15s, five; 20s, six; and 25s eight. A magautrap will be used, and 
targets will be thrown at V/2 cents each. Guns and ammunition 
shipped to the secretary will be delivered to the grounds free. 
A number of shooters from the Altoona Rod and Gun Club will 
attend the State shoot at Erie. 
For the benefit of shooters in this vicinity who cannot go to 
the State shoot, the Altoona Club will hold a target tournament 
•on their Llyswen grounds on Decoration Day. The programme, 
which is now ready for distribution, announces six lO-single, $1 
•entrance, three 15-smgle, $1.50 entrance, and a 5-pair, $1 entrance 
•event. Equitable system, four moneys in 10, and five moneys in 
IS-target events. Targets will be thrown at 1% cents each. Shoo- 
ing begins at 9 o'clock. Visiting shooters should send shells, etc., 
to G. G. Zeth, secretary. Electric cars run from the central part 
of the city directly to the grounds. ' 
The Altoona Club has the second magautrap, and will have a 
third one in operation during the big shoot in June at Wopson- 
•onock Heights. We venture the assertion that there is not a 
■club in the country with the facilities for shoots that this organiza- 
tion has. _ . _ 
A very pleasant caller in shooting circles the other day was 
W. L. Colville, of Batavia, N. Y., who is sowing seeds for Du 
Pont powder trade. Sportsmen who have the pleasure of Dick 
Swiveler's acquaintance, know him only as an ardent lover of 
•nature, a profound friend and advocate of legitimate sport, and 
the possessor of a personality gentlemanly in the extreme. An 
Altoona party accompanied him up the mountain to Wopsonon- 
ock Heights, the scene of the June tournament, and spent the 
afternoon at shooting and sight-seeing. 
Mr. Colville's visit here recalls some memories of the days when 
trap-shooting was in its infancy. He was associated about twenty 
years ago with Palmer O'Neil, of Pittsburg, then the leading 
sporting goods dealer in western Pennsylvania. In those days 
we bought glass balls from him, and later the Legowsky target. 
The latter, you might hit sometimes with a full charge of shot 
and knock it' into the next lot without scoring a break. 
G. G. Zeth. 
Malone Defeats Smith. 
Baltimore, Md., May 4.— In a match at 100 live birds for $200 
a side, Mr. James R. Malone, captain of the Baltimore Shooting 
Association, defeated Mr. Edward T. Smith, of Ballston, N. Y,, 
by the score of 89 to 79. Each stood at 30yds. Boundary 50yds. 
The birds were the best trapped on the grounds of the Balti- 
more Shooting Association this season. There was a fair wind 
blowing from the southwest. Mr. Charles Macalister refereed the 
race, and there was no hitch from start to finish. Each principal 
generously congratulated the other on the difficult kills, and Mr. 
Smith was the first to congratulate Mr. Malone on his victory. 
Mf. Smith expressed a wish for a return match In the fall. He 
expects to be absent from Baltimore during the summer. While 
Mr. Smith is almost a stranger in Baltimore, he in a short time 
proved himself to be a thorough sportsman and an accomplished 
athlete, having defeated some of the best local talent in several 
branches. He has made application to join the Baltimore Shoot- 
ing Association, although he spends but few months of the fall 
and spring in Baltimore. 
Mr. Smith's first shooting here was last January, when he made 
a run of 32 straight kills. He then went to Macon, Ga., for 
the winter, where he had good sport killing ducks and field 
birds. He took part in the Maryland Sportsmen's Exposition 
shooting at Prospect Park; and while there he beat Phil Daly, Jr., 
in a 10-bird race. At the Baltimore Shooting Association tourna- 
ment last week he killed 10 straight in the introductory handicap 
and grassed 13 out of 15 in the Piihlico handicap. Mr. Smith is 
a member of the Maryland Club, the Green Spring V^alley and 
Elkridge clubs, and also of the Riverton and Ijarchmont shooting 
clubs. Many club men backed Mr. .Smith to beat Mr. Malone, 
and the B. S. A. men who backed their captain won considerable 
money. The scores:

Championship of New Jersey. 
May 6. — ^At Passaic, to-day, on the grounds of the Passaic City 
Gun Club, the contest between Capt. A. VV. Money, the holder, 
and Mr. Phil Daly, Jr., challenger, took place witn a large ana 
interested audience to witness tne struggle lor possession of the 
elegant E. C. trophy, emblematic of the cnampionship of the State 
of INew Jersey. Ihe day was delightful in respect to weather, 
clear, pleasantly cool, with wind so gentle that it had no disturb- 
ing effect on the targets. The light, while good, was variable, and 
later m the afternoon, was hazy. 
Mr. Edward Banks was reieree. Messrs Harold Money and 
Bernard Waters were judges, and Mr. W. S. Hobart was scorer. 
In a preliminary exercise at 50 targets the principals shot in 
excellent foim, and came near to getting them all; so near so 
that the race promised to be one of high scores, possibly the 
highest yet made in the contests for this cup. The race began 
shortly after 2 o'clock. It was very close throughout, and was 
won on the margin of one target. The targets were fast and dif- 
ficult. 
The Passaic City Gun Club has grounds of exceptionally com- 
plete equipment in a beautiful location in the suburbs of Passaic, 
There are no pleasanter grounds, and none better equipped for club 
purposes for good sport. 
Following are the scores of the match:
