Sixth Day, Saturday^ May 20» 
The elements were once mora against the shooters, a.s for most 
of the day a drenching rain fell, which almost prevented the shoot- 
ing oS of the tics, and it was only with the greatest difficulty that 
these and the E. C. cup events were decided. All the other events 
were abandoned. The remaining races for the E. C. cup were shot 
in the rain, and this and the bad light made shooting very hard, 
and naturally the averages suffered correspondingly. The best 
piece of shooting in these events was Elliott's score of 27 out of 
15 pairs, which was also the best at this style of shooting. The 
scores made to-day arc those in the last three columns of the 
table, showing the E. C. cup race. 
It will be seen that W. R. Crosby is high man in these events, 
and is therefore the winner of the E. C. cup. This is Crosby's 
first competition for the cup, and it is naturally quite a feathsr 
in his cap, that success should crown his first effort. However, 
there is nothing singular about this, for Billy has been a member 
of the real thing squad for lo these many years. Way back in 
'91, Crosby gave Jim Elliott an argument for a cup that he en- 
deavored to wrest from the Kansas City man, that the latter has 
doubtless never forgotten. On this occasion he compelled the oft- 
time champion to line out his 50 birds straight, for he himself 
. accounted for 48, with one dead out of bounds. Next to Crosby 
came Gilbert and Young. These two youngsters were in the lead 
this morning when the fray started, but could not retain it. Gil- 
bert made one 14 out of 20 and so did Young. The latter's oc- 
curred in the final event. Up to this tinie he had an excellent 
chance to land this trophy, but doubtless that lengthy argument 
he had with Jim Elliott had tired him some, for it was im- 
mediately after this that he was called to shoot his last 10 pairs, 
and his inabilitjr to negotiate these successfully lost him the cup. 
Had he maintained his average in these he would have landed 
•t winner. The Quaker from Old Kentucky was the real thing 
himself for a while, but experts and doubles was a game that he 
was not quite familiar with. However, he got fourth place, ahead 
of all kinds of good ones. Elliott was looked upon as the most 
dangerous contestant, but he found his doubles very troublesome, 
as he lost more than half his birds at this style of shooting. 
Marshall is the next man, and he shot a very uniform race 
throughout. Now comes second-time-on-earth Charley; his poor 
.showing in the unknown events is what landed him so low in the 
race. _ Pop Heikes got off wrong and also finished very badly. This 
morning his prospects of retaining the cup looked very bright, 
as he started but one bird behind the leaders. Parmelee's total 
is the same as Heikes', while McMurchy is but one break short 
of this. These are the ones who get a share of the high gun 
money, $100 being divided equally among the ten high guns. 
The averages shown in these events are rather poor for the class 
of shooters engaged, but it must be remembered that some of 
the shooting was done under the most adverse circumstances. It 
is invariably much easier to break targets theoretically than prac- 
tically, at least this was the situation here.

General Average. 
_ It will be seen that in this respect Elliott excels, though Crosby 
IS third, Budd fourth and Young fifth. In considering these aver- 
ages it is well to bear in mind that the mixed event of the E C 
are included in it. 
Republic Cup. 
There were eleven to dispute the possession of this trophy, 
namely, Young, J. A. R. Elliott, Dave Elliott, H. B. Collins, J- 
D. Gay, F. W. Cockrill, C. W. Budd, Chris. Gottheb, Dr. Smith, 
Rollo Heikes and W. G. Sergeant. The shoot-ofif was to be 5 
birds, and the engagement had scarcely begun when disappoint- 
ment came lo some. Heikes was the first victim, as he lost his 
first bird. Then in the next round Gottlieb and Dr. Smith came

Tie Shoot-offs — ^Dapont Trophy. 
The first to be decided was that for the Dupont trophy. This 
started about 12 o clock, at which time there had been a little lull 
in the ram, but this did not last long, for in a little while it was 
raining so hard that the shooting was interrupted. With all the 
principals of a classic degree, it was generally expected that this 
would be a most protracted shoot-oi¥. However, this proved to 
be_the briefest of them all, for Daniels, the winner, was only re- 
, quired to kill 20 straight. Riley proved to-be the runner up in 
this as he scored 18, and then had the misfortune to lose one 
dead out of bounds. Powers had similar luck, but he only got to 
his third bird. Gay missed his second and Budd his very first 
Un nearly every instance the misses occurred on good birds 
Daniels, the winner has only lately flashed on the shooting 
hrmament, but he handles himself like a winner; his trong points 
being judgment and composure. In this respect he needs little 
-schooling. On this occasion this very essential qualitv stood him 
in good steady Hereafter he must always be classed' amone^ the 
good ones. For a man capable of out-shooting such a field of 
experienced shooters is one well to avoid in an individual race I 
would advise aspirants for the cup not to hold him too cheaplv 
as he will doubtless make it very industrious for thn,^ ^h^ K>tl 
looking for trouble 
half of the contestants had been forced to withdraw. If thirteen 
is unlucky, Collins and Gay can attribute the loss of their bird 
in this round to such. At any rate, here is where they quit. Ihis 
left but three, it being a case of Elliott brothers, Jim and Dave, 
against little Charley Young. On the face il looked very mttch as 
though the latter was up against it. 
If he entertained any such ideas, it was at least not betrayed 
by any exterior emotion, for none could have been more col- 
lected, and his rare judgment, coupled with his superb shooting, 
evidently won him the race. The birds up to the tenth round 
had been only fair; but from this out they became more vigorous, 
and there were many brilliant kills made. Everybody fared well 
up to the seventeenth bird, when Dave Elliott lost a fairly good 
bird that twisted badly. Thus it resolved itself into a race be- 
tween a big and little man, with the odds greatly in favor of the 
big shooter, as his physique should stand him in good stead. The 
luck of the birds, too, 'seemed to be against the frail man, and with 
all these odds his chances to win looked more than slim. But 
he was a bundle of nerves, and his time and precision were ab- 
solutely perfect. That his judgment was good is shown by the 
manner in which he controlled himself, when two birds were lib- 
erated at once, both coming from the same trap, one being white 
and the other blue. The bad light made it difficult to see the 
dark bird, and the shooter never realized that two birds had been 
liberated imtil he had shot his first barrel, and though he missed 
he never lost his head, but nicely grassed his bird with the second. 
Had he switched he would have doubtless lost, as the other was 
a very fast driver, while the one he killed quartered slightly. This 
pair kept killing all kinds of birds until each ran 67 straight, when 
Young slipped one. Elliott killed his next bird, and it now re- 
mained for him lo score the final one in this string of five. This 
bird, a big black one, flew directly at the shooter \vith about the 
speed of a crow, which it resembled very much. This bird looked 
so easy that the shooter evidently became careless, for to the sur- 
prise of everyone this bird got off without the loss of a feather, 
so Young had another opportunity, of which he at once took ad- 
v,intage, and ultimately beat the big shooter out, for the latter 
finally lost his 93d dead out of bounds. After Young's loss the 
tide turned in his favor, as Elliott drew some very fast birds. 
The one that put liim out was most certainly a good one. In 
nianv respects this was a most remarkable shoot-off, the like of 
which has never occurred. The shootine of Elliott was the best 
exhibition he has ever given, with the exception of that one bird 
that cost hini the race. Aside from this his time was good and he 
centered most of his birds with his first barrel. The birds for this 
race had been carefully selected, and proved to be a good lot, 
notwithstanding the adverse weather conditions.

Lemp Medal. 
The final tie to he decided was the Lemp medal, and much 
local interest centered in this, as three of those entered were local 
shooters. However, one of these, Dut-e Cabanne, failed to material- 
i/.e, so that but four were mixed up in this dispute. Chase and 
Prendergast were the home talent, and Powers and Lemm were 
pitied against these. In this instance the home boys realized 
their admirers' expectations by easily disposing of the other pair, 
Lemm was the first to lose, being evidently overcautious, which 
made him a trifle slow, though he succeeded in disposing of 14 
birds in this way. Powers' 19th was dead out of bounds, and as 
the other continued to do business he too was out of it. It now 
resolved itself into a race between the two local men, who con- 
tinued to kill for some time, until finally Prendergast lost his 
33d bird, when Chase proceeded to end the suspense by killing 
out his string of 5, which gave him 35 straight in the shoot-off.

Soo Gun Club Programme. 
The programme of the Soo Gun Club's tournament, June 6-9. 
provides ten events alike for each of the first three days, each at 
15 targets, $1.50 entrance, alternating, unknown and known angles, 
excepting No. 7 of the second day. The winner holds the cup 
till the next June tournament, when the club redeems it, oayiiiK 
therefor $50. , f j & 
On the fourth day there are three events at 15 targets, $1.50 
entrance, and three at 20 targets, two at $2 and one at $3, the lat- 
ter being the team race. On this day the club adds 10 per cent. 
01 net purse to each event. Also there is a long list of merchan- 
dise prizes, divided for each of the first three days' five low aver- 
ages, as also are $10 cash for each of the ten high averages. The 
grounds will be open on June 5 for practice. 
The club announes as follows: "American Association rules, 
modified, to govern, with the modification 'no bang, no bird.' But 
anyone wilfully refusing to take a fair bird shall have the same 
scored as lost. All purses divided 35, 30, 20, 15 per cent, except 
the 50-bird race on the fourth day. All ties to be divided. This 
tournament is open to all amateurs. We extend to the profession- 
als and manufacturers' agents a cordial invitation to be present and 
shoot for the price of birds, and will provide them ample facilities 
for displaying their goods. 
"Event No. 7, of the second day will be for the interstate cham- 
pionship trophj^ The race will be 15 birds, ties on high score to 
shoot miss-and-out for the trophy. The trophy this year will be 
a beautiful cup, the winner being entitled to the possession of the 
same until June, 1900, tournament of the Soo Gun Club at 
which time the club will pay $50 to the holder for the return of 
the same. In this event $30 will be given to the next three high 
guns remaining longest itr the tie for the trophy. In other words 
the one shooting all others out will take the trophy; the one re- 
maining next longest shall receive $10: the one remaining next 
longest shall_ receive $10, and the one remaining next longest $10 
The idea being to give the trophy and $30 to the four shooters 
who remain in the tie the longest. 
"A special programme has been arranged for the fourth day A 
great many shooters have heretofore requested that the Soo 'Cun 
Club have some longer races for a larger entrance fee, in order 
that some one might have a chance of making a good winning 
Ihis year we have arranged a special programme for the fourth 
day which will suit those desiring this kind of a progarame 
'The team race will be 20 birds to the man and $3 entrance per 
team. Any two men desiring to shoot together can constitute a 
team, whether belonging to ihe same club or otherwise. 
The purse in the 50-bird race will be divided into five eaual 
moneys. , ^ 
"Instead of giving added money for general averages for the 
fourth day, the club will add 10 per cent, of the net purse in each 
event. Address communications to E. R. Chapman, secretary 
Jno. Watson acted as referfie in tWs, as well as in the original 
contest. °

Harvard Shooting Club. 
Cambridge, Mass., May 16.— Editor Forest and Stream- I 
mclose a clipping from the Boston Herald about the Founders' 
cup. which I won permanently yesterday afternoon, and also a 
complete list of the winners, with their scores, and also tlie dates 
on which they shot for the cup. The numerals directly after their 
names of course refer to their class in college 
"The Founders' cup was won for the eighth time yesterday 
afternoon at the grounds of the Harvard Shooting Club by 
Paul Bancroft, '99, and, according to the terms of the gift he 
will now retain permanent possession of it 
The CMP was offered fay the men who fomi^i thP dHb 
in 1885, and was to be shot for once a month. Each man was 
to shoot at 15 targets, thrown at unknown angles, and the man 
who first won the cup four times consecutively, or eight times 
in all, was to keep it permanently. Each winaer was to have 
kis name and score engraved on it, and could keep the cup until 
some one else won it."

and less than 90 per cent. 
"Any one desiring to do so can shoot for targets only by paying 
25 cents per event. 
"Instead of publishing paid advertisements in our programme 
we have decided to tax each manufacturer sending representa- 
tives to our shoot $5 for each man (they can pay as much more 
as they choose). 
"All money received from the manufacturers, from the deduc- 
tions made from the winnings of those making 85 per cent, or 
better and for targets will be divided pro rata among the ama- 
teurs shooting in all programme events with the exception of the 
winner of first average, who will receive a fine diamond watch 
charm. In case of tie, the shoot-off will be at 50 bluerocks. 
".All professionals and paid experts will be barred from all 
amateur events, but are cordially invited to attend the tourna- 
ment and shoot through the programme at no expense for tar- 
gets, and compete in all the events with each other and as many 
of the amateurs as care to compete with them. A fine diamond 
watch charfn will be given to the one making the best average in 
their class. Amateurs barred."

Grand American Handicap. 
New Yqrk, May 19.— Editor Forest and Stream:' Will you have 
the kindness to give space in your valued publication for the fol- 
lowing, and thereby correct erroneous impressions which seem 
to have gained more or less credence; 
"At a meeting of the directors of the Interstate Association for 
the Encouragement of Trap Shooting, held in New York City 
on the 18th inst., a majority of the directors being present, it was 
''Resolved, That it having come to the notice of the subscribers 
and directors of the Interstate Association that several papers, 
both sporting and dailies, have published articles relative to the 
place at which the Grand American Handicap of 1906 shall be 
held, and as these articles are thoroughly contrary to the by-laws 
and intentions of the managers of our Association, it is 
"Resolved That the president of the Association be, and he is 
hereby, authorized to correct any wrong impression that mav 
have been introduced in this matter, in such manner as in his opin- 
ion may be most advisable." 
Being thus authorized, I would state that no individual mem- 
ber of the Interstate Association or committee has the authority 
to make any arrangements, promises or contracts of any kind 
without the special authority of the board of directors of this 
Association. 
The directors of this Association have not at any time since tlie 
last Grand American Handicap considered the Handicap for 1900 
and most likely will not do so until the annual meeting in De- 
cember of this year. J. A. H. Dressel.

Haverhill Gun Club. 
Harrisburg, Pa., May 21.— Editor Forest and Stream- From 
present indications, the Memorial Day shoot of the Haverhill 
Gun Club should be by far the best yet given of the purelv social 
events. 
The Portsmouth (N. H.) Gun Club, with their ladies, will be 
our guests for the day, and the attendance from other clubs in 
our own State promises to be large. 
We are also anticipating a goodly number at this ihoot of our 
members who do not shoot regularly, and among them are manv 
of our successful business and professional men. 
The handicaps in the prize event for members only are based a-s 
nearly on each man s ability as is possible, and this number should 
be the nipst interesting of all others.
