State Live Bird Championship. 
The closing event of the tournament was the contest at live 
birds for the State championship, the C. E. Mayne diamond badge 
being the emblem at issue. This contest consisted of 15 live birds, 
|15 entrance and $15 added, four moneys, 40, 30, 20 and 10. 
Fifteen shooters qualified for the race, and at the finish it was 
found that Dan Bray, of Syracuse, and Geo. Nicolai, of Sutton, 
had accounted for their total. The shoot-off v/as at 5 birds, and the 
first 5 resulted in another tie, but in the next a decision was 
reached, as Nicolai drew a left-quartering outgoer in the 7th round 
that he could not negotiate. Bray again accounted for his 5, and 
thereby won the trophy on a score of 25 straight. Smead, of 
Omaha, won the badge last year, but failed to materialize for 
this contest. Moore, of Lincoln, was the only one to score 14, 
and this gave him a nice little roll. Another noteworthy feature 
was the poor showing of Frank Parmelee, who only scored 11, 
which is the poorest score that h.e has ever made in a contest 
for this badge, However, in justice to him it must be stated 
that he was without a pigeon gun, and used three different ones 
during the day. The weather was cloudy, though pleasant, while 
in the afternoon a good wind prevailed.

Jeannette Gun Clab. 
Eltincville. S. I., May 3.— Goodly numbers of the Jeannette 
Gun Club and the Columbia Fishing Club were present on the 
charming grounds of the latter organization to contest for the 
special prizes in a live-bird shoot, to-day. The mere mention 01 
these grounds conveys no adequate idea of their elaborate equip- 
ment and natural beauty. Situated on the east coast of Staten 
Island they have an area of eight acres, on which are a \vell- 
built club house, a large boat house containing several fine 
launches, large and small a large dormitory, a club building tor 
the shooters, stables, a poultry yard, garden, etc.,— all most com- 
plete in themselves and their appointments. The shooting grounds 
slope gently toward the shore, and are next to it, so that on one 
side is the surf-beaten shore and broad ocean open to the view, 
while on the other side were fruit trees in full blossom, torming 
a setting than which nothing more beautiful could be desired. In 
this beautilul club resort, the club members spend many days 
with their wives and children in wholesome and sensible en- 
^°llie*^ shooting was enjoyed with a zest which was thorough. 
The prize in the 7-bird event was a silver cup, made by Tiffany, 
intrinsically valuable in itself, but prized much more by the 
competitors as a desirable trophy. Good shots and ditticult kills 
were aopiauded to the echo. The traps were set on the slope 
next the shore highest on the right as one faced them, llae 
grass grown already to a height which largely concealed birds 
which preferred to walk rather than fly, was of the deep green 
of the springtime. A powerful wind blew across from left to right 
as one faced the traps. , , .... j 
The retrieving was done by the Jeannette Club s setter dog, 
a most indefatigable worker, far above the average retriever in 
promptness and finish of performance, and very intelligent 
withal. The office of referee was filled most satisfactorily by 
Mr H. P. Fessenden, while that of scorer was filled by the 
painstaking popular Johnnie Jones. . 
The first event was at 7 birds, handicap rise, Interstate Asso- 
ciation rules. The scores:

Leoble and Bohling, Jr., were the only two who killed straight. 
In the shoot-off the latter missed his first bird, while Leoble killed 
his and won the cup. Leoble was shooting in fine form, deliver- 
ing' both barrels in quick time and admirable accuracy. 
The second event was miss-and-out. After the first round or two 
the struggle narrowed down to seven out of the thirty-two shooters, 
Barr, StefFens, Hainhorst. Garms, Leoble, Wellbrock, Schorte- 
meier and Meyer. Barr and Leoble missed their 9th and went 
out. Schortemeier caught a hot twisting rightquartering driver, 
which got away in the 11th rotmd, as it sped swiftly before the 
wind Meyer missed his 12th. StefCens drew an easy one and 
killed it and won in the 12th round. The prize was a beautiful 
toilet set, hand painted. Capt. Robert Debecker had the painting 
done to order, and the artist's work alone cost ^0.

St. Louis Shooting Association- 
St. Louis, April 4. — ^At a meeting of the board of directors of 
the St. Louis Shooting Association, held at their headquarters, in 
room .34, Insurance Building, Friday, the handicap committee that 
will grade the participants in the live-bird events, which will be 
held at the big May tournament, at Du Pont Park, was selected. 
The committee will be composed of the following well-known 
sportsmen: Thomas Marshall, John Watson. Will K. Fox and 
G. M, Walden. The fifth member, who will be a St. Louisan, was 
not definitely decided upon, but in all probability Edward Prender- 
gast will be selected to look after the interests of the Mound City 
shooters. 
Prendergast, although a young man, has been before the sports- 
men in this city for a number of years. He has competed virith 
almost every expert shot in the country, and was at one time 
champion of Missouri. Prendergast probably knows more indi- 
vidual shooters in St. Louis and vicinity than any other man, 
and consequently a more capable man could not be selected to 
serv'^e on the handicapping committee, Thomas Marshall is Mayor 
of Keithsburg, 111., and is a two-time winner of the Grand Ameri- 
can Handicap. No shooter is more widely known than Marshall, 
and he is thoroughly competent to judge of the respective merits 
of the participants in the live-bird handicaps. 
John Watson is a resident of Chicago, and is the owner of the 
famous Burnside Shooting Park. Watson has probably trapped 
more birds and watched a greater number. of sportsmen at the 
traps than any other man living. 
Will K. Fox is well known in the trap-shot circles of the East, 
and will take care of the Eastern sportsmen in the handicaps. 
G. M. Walden is a resident of Kansas City, and he will look 
after the AVest. Walden was president of the Missouri State 
Game and Fish Protective Association for two years, and is thor- 
nughlv conversant with tournament affairs. He knows how dis- 
agreeable is the duty of a handicapping committee, and only 
accepts die position as do the other gentlemen, with a spirit of 
sacrifice, with the view of fostering the great sport. 
E. S Rice, of Chicago, who took a party of over 100 sportsmen 
to the big Elkwood Park shoot last month, will head a large dele- 
gation from Chicago to the St. Louis shoot. Rice is especially 
interested in the big event of the week, the Du Pont championship 
contest, which will be decided on Friday, May 10. In view of 
the value of this trophy and the number of times it has been 
defended, a vast amount of interest is being taken in the probable 
outcome of this event. In this contest there will be entered every 
crack shot in the United States, and every amateur who thinks 
he has a chance to kill 22 out of 25 birds. . 
Picking the winner of this event will be a decidedly dithcult mat- 
ter, as the handicapping committee will do its work so thor- 
oughly that the 100 or more competitors will be placed on an 
absolutely fair and even basis. This will also be true of the contest 
for the valuable trophy offered by the St. Louis Republic and the 
Lemp medal. The handicapping committee will see to it that 
these events will furnish close and interesting sport. 
In target events there will be no handicaps. Every shooter 
shoots at the same number of targets from the.^me score._ Ihese 
targets at Du Pont Park are apparently very difficult. This arise.s 
from the fact that the target traps are sunk m the gtound, and 
the absence of a screen gives the shooter a view of the target 
much quicker than when a 3ft. screen obstructed the vievv. Ihe 
shooter seeing the target 20ft. nearer than usual does not rnake 
the proper allowance for the speed of the target and shoots behind 
it He realizes after the first event is finished that be has much 
more time to break the target than under the old system, and 
therefore is more careful in his aim. High averages are sure to 
prevail at the May tournament. . t, id . 
Ample facilities for taking care of the crowd at Du Pont t-ark 
have been made. The old Du Pont .magazine which is a bnck 
building 40 X 60ft., will provide amp e storage for guns and shells 
during the tournament week. Watchmen will sleep in the build- 
ing every night. A cashier's house and shoot pavilion have b»en 
erected near the live-bird grounds. A large oblong tent, 40 x 60ft., 
will be placed immediately behind the target rangers. Another 
tent of the same size will be used for a mess room. In the rear 
of this there will be a tent for the kitchen. These tents, wirt 
their white surfaces, will make Du Pont Park look, like a circus 
grounds during the week. The number of inquiries for pro- 
Irammes from almost every State in the Union indicates the 
large.st attendance that ha.s ever been at a Western tournament. 
Considerable rivalry exists between St. Louis and Kansas City as 
to the number of teams that w'ill represent each city m the team 
shoot for the State medal. Herbert Taylor, of the St^^o"^^ 
Shooting Association, returned from Kansas City last Wednesday, 
and he stated that arrangements had been made by the shooting 
enthusiasts of the western Missouri metropolis to secure a private 
car that will bring thirty Kansas City shooters to the Mav shoot 
There will be five teams from Kansas City, consisting ot the 
O. K. Gun Club, Stock Yards Gun Club, Wasbmgton Park Gun 
Club, Belt Line Gun Club and Kansas Citv Gun Cj«t. Jhe team 
that will represent the last-named club .will mclude such wonder- 
ful shooters as Christ. Gottlieb, Champion Jim Elliott and J. L. 
Riley. The latter is training hard for the shoot. He is par- 
ticularly anxious to win his match with Ro11a Heikes, which will 
take pllce at Du Pont Park on Saturday, May 13, two days before 
the commencement of the big tournament.. Elliott is at Hot 
Springs, and according to reports he puts in about five hours 
a day at hard work, and will be in fine fettle when the shoot com- 
*"Five^'and possibly six teams will represent St. Louis in the 
team shoot. "^The team composed of Dr. J. W S^.th, Dr Max 
C Starklofif Edward Prendergast and Peter M. Kling. which now 
hilds the medal, will in all. probabihty be the ^avon^e for the 
shoot. Kling is at present, m Berhn, Germanv, ^-id if he doe^ 
not return in time to participate in the .ma:_ch, T l Snmpter 
will probablv take his place. The St Louis Gun CluVj team wm 
be composed of H. B. Collins F. W. Paramore. C. W. Srudde 
and Charles McClure Clark. Another team wi^ bs from t^e Da 
Pont Park Gun Club which will be compos-d of T. M. Selzer, 
J. ?T. Conrades. Jr., Charles Spencer and Herbert Taylor. 
John and Duthiel Cabanne are organizing a team that will prove 
a mightly tough proposition. Capt. Will Lengard is selectmg a 
team to reore sent the Central Gun Uuh. C-vnt. ^.ti oh of the 
Riverside Gun Club, is picking a .team that the R'ver^ides say 
will beat the West End Gun Club m the race for the .medal. It 
is now thought that at least eighteen teams will meet in thereon- 
test for the State medal. George Munson. 
Haverhill Gan CI«b. 
HAVEHHii-r, Mass., April 29.-A few members of the Haverhill 
Gun Club participated in a little practice this afternoon with Mr. 
J. R. Hull, one of Parker Bros.' traveling representatives, as a 
^'No'^regular programme was shot, just a "ragtime" . shoot, which 
was- thoroughly, enjoyed by all. .The remaining ties from our 
Patriots' Day handicap for third prize, consisting of a split-bambpo

with it will show in the score. He allowed no time to be wasted, 
as between whiles he made up a squad consisting ot Hull and 
"himself" and kept blazing away. i -7 o q in

B<Htoa Gua Club. 
Wellington, Mass., May 3.— The niagautrap furnished amtise- 
nient and practice for fifteen shooters Wednesday afteraoon at. 
Wellington on Boston Gua Club grounds. Some good scores 
were made, though it was considered a very windy day by some 
who stayed at home, unwilling to risk their reputations as experts 
These are the people who miss the very elixir of trap-shooting, the 
spice of the cake, as it were, the real practise where the largets 
are not mere inanimate saucers, but flying objects, temporarily 
imbued with life to deceive and mislead the unsuspeciing spurts- 
men. A 70 per cent, average under such circumstances is worth 
to the shooter more than an 80 or 85 on easier days, and small 
loss if the scores fail to impress one's friends in becoming siyle 
when beneficial training of eye and hand is gained in the contest 
between erratic flights and steady shooter. 
.To-day regardless of wind and a comparatively novel trap system 
some really fine scores were made in the match. Mr. Thos. Howe, 
of the Hmgham Club, at 17yds.. broke 61 out of 70 targets, all 
kinds, and Leroy, who was but one target behind at 21yds. rise, 
later on broke 24 straight at 16yds. So this particular trap con- 
tinues suiting some Eastern as well as Western shooters. 
Aspirants lor straight honors were IVicssrs. Il"we aiid Lerov, 
two each; Sheffield, Spencer, Hull Gordon and Hood, one each.

where he can do little harm. Of course a large amount may be 
paid m and shot for, but the foregoing illustrates the principle,

The advertisement of Sixteen Island Lake presents unusual 
attractions to anglers who may wish to take their families with 
them for .a long summer's outing. In addition to the advantages 
set forth by Mr. Lawlor, we. are at liberty to state that his lease 
has nine years more to run; that it permits him and his sub- 
lessees to cut building timber within his reserve, and guarantees 
compensation to him and to those claiming under him from any 
subsequent lessee of the lake for improvements made during his 
lease. Mr. Lawlor owns in fee three principal islands in the lake, 
^ and there are others which might be purchased outright fi-orn the 
Crown by one who desired to make a permanent summer home on 
the lake. This body of water is only about two hours' from 
Montreal, and close connections are made with trains from south- 
ern points, so that it is not only possible for one to reach the 
lake quickly from New York, but also to get in less than twenty- 
four hours' provisions or anything else that may be desired from 
any central point. — Adv.
