[May 2f, 1899. 
Minneapolis Gtin CItiK 
Minneapolis, Minn. May 18.— The Minneapolis Gun Club had 
a very pleasant afternoon's sport at the traps yesterday. The at- 
tendance was fair, considering that several of its members are 
absent from the city attending the different tournaments. The 
scores averaged good and some remarkable shooting was done. 
Six new members were elected and a team selected to attend the 
tournament of the Wadena Sportsmen's Association, to be held at 
Wadena, June 7 and 8. The following are the scores of the day: 
Schilt; Diamond Badge. 
The Schlitz diamond badge was contested at 25 targets; an-

Interstate Shoot at Oil City* 
The first of the interstate shoots for 1899, held at Smithman's 
Park, Oil City, Pa., on May 17 and 18, was unfortunate in respect 
to weather, and consequently in respect to its best success, for 
the weather was about as bad as ever existed at a trap shoot. 
The trade was represented by B. H. Norton, of the Hazard 
Powder Co.; W. L. Colville (Swiveller), of the Du Pont Powder 
Co. and Chas. Grubb, of the Kings Powder Co. ani Peters Cart- 
"^fe vtsitorii were H. P. Shaner and J. Atkinson, New Castle, 
Pa.; F. H. Snow, Brooklyn, O.; L. B. Fleming, Pittsburg, Pa.; J. 
Johnson, Dr. IvashelJc, H. Krider and Col. Reisinger, Meadville, 
Pa. ; H. R. Nye, Sharon, Fn, ; C. A. Smith and A; P. Pope, Corry, 
Pa., and W. H, McCray, Emporium, Pa. 
"There was a heavy downpour of mm, and those who took part 
in the tournament were drenched to the skin by it. More than 
a dozen times during the day it was n.ecpsssry to bail out the 
small house sheltering the trap power, although it is equipped 
with a drain. There was a part of the day where the lightning 
was so vivid and constant, and the thunder so terrifying that it 
shook the nerves of the shooters, and had considerable to do with 
the small scores made. Mr. E. E. Shaner, who is managing the 
shoot, declared that there are no ^ grounds in the country where 
the background is so poor as at Oil City. 
Ten events were scheduled for the first day. Nine of these 
were finished. The feature of the first day was the continuous 
score ma4e by F. H. Snow, of Brooklyn, O., who scored 77 birds 
before making a miss. This breaks the previous record of these 
grounds, which was 60 until yesterday. Several of Meadville's 
shooters arrived on Wednesday evening, among them Mr. John- 
son and Dr. Lashells. The score; 
Wednesday, May 17, First Day.

Thtjrsday, May 18, Second Day. 
The visiting shotgun experts are especially enthusiastic in their 
comments upon the reception that has been given them by the 
members of the local association and the people of Oil City. Their 
welcome was most hospitable, and the visitors are properly appre- 
ciative. 
Elmer E. Shaner, who managed the two days' tournament, states 
that the assistance given by the Gun Club to make the affair a 
success was perfect. He states that the men supplied by the 
club for keeping scores and officering the event were all that could 
be desired, and that at this shoot, as in the State shoot, held two 
years ago, this was remarked by all visitors. He attributes the 
perfect arrangements to to the fact that all, or nearly all of the 
members of the local club are "office men," with a great deal of 
executive ability, and who are in the habit of making arrangements 
for can-ying on any enterprise far ahead and providing for any 
unforeseen emergency tliat might arise. 
Mr. Shaner, who has much experience with shotgun men, as 
well as a manager of shooting tournaments, declares that he and 
all visitors had feeen treated royally, and that the hotel accommo- 
dations were all that any person on earth could ask. The scores:

Fitchfaufg Rifle and Gun Qab. 
FiTCHBURC, Mass., May 18. — The traps furnished sport for four- 
teen shooters at the grounds of the Fitchburg Rifle and Gun Club, 
May 17. The day was fine, with a good breeze from the west 
to help the right angles along, and make the lefts rise or fall as 
the wind happened to catch them. This no doubt is responsible 
for many of the poor scores, and adds much more credit to the 
good ones which were made. All considered, it was a perfect 
day for practice, which no doubt will show its good effects at some 
future time, when conditions are more favorable for high scores. 
The feature of the shoot was a team race between team 1 and 
team 2, which consisted of four men each. Thirty birds were 
shot at, consisting of 10 known, 10 unknown and 10 reverse. Owing 
to the failure of some of the most reliable men in team No. 2 to 
get good scores, it resulted in their defeat by 5 birds, but as team 
No. 1 failed likewise it saved a walkover, and made low totals 
for both. There was so much interest sho^vn and so much sport 
derived from the team race that it will be a regular thing here- 
after. 
Among the many spectators present were noticed a number of 
ladies, who are always welcome. Let more come and enjoy the 
sport, and we will try to make them feel at home. The scores in

Q. 
Boston Gua Club. 
" WEtLiNGTOff; Mass., May 17.— Two squads and a few oyer used 
the afternoon of May 17 to good advantage, and before 5 o'clock 
the sixth shoot of Boston Gun Club prize series had seen its 
finish. Certaihlj' the finest of weather is so far attending this series 
— in pleasant contrast to the rain and sleet of winter shoots; To- 
day was bright, clear and altogether delightful) except for a cool 
wind that prevented sitting out of doors; This was a slight dis- 
appointment to some of the company, who well know that one of 
the delights of Wellington during warm weather is the occupancy 
of chairs tilted back on platform at an angle of 45 degrees, with 
either fragrant Havana or more plebeian pipe doing double duty, 
while the squad smashing targets is the cynosure of all eyes, and 
ofttimes targets themselves for the good-natured banter of the wall 
flowers. 
A Hingham club member scored high in match to-day, followed 
closely by two B. G. C representatives. Scores complete as fol-

Centerdale Gun Club. 
Centerdale, R. L, May 13. — The medal handicap shoot and 
other events of an interesting character took place at the Center- 
dale Gun Club yesterday afternoon. There was a good con- 
gregation pf trap shots, and novelties were introduced in the way 
of shooting at known, unknown, expert and reverse angles. .Of 
course the shooting heretofore has been at either known or un- 
known angles, but this was systematized in the shooting yester- 
day, and the shooting at reverse and expert angles was an in- 
novation which pleased the cracks and caused some of the less 
expert to fall down before the difficulties of these methods of 
springing the birds. About 1,200 birds were thrown and the 
shooting was on the whole very good, that of Smith and A. 
■ ' ' "' ■ No. 7 was the medal handicap; 
Arnold being noticeably excellent. 
Nos. 9 and 10 were miss-and-outs

The Pennsylvania Railroad's New Passenger Cars. 
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has just placed in service 
on its principal through trains between New York and Washington, 
and New York and Pittsburg, a number of new passenger coaches 
and combined cars with the latest pattern of wide platform and ves- 
tiWle. These vestibules, which have been such a prominent 
feature of the new Pennsylvania and Congressional Limiteds, are 
the entire width of the cars, and with their large plate-glass doors 
and windows form excellent observation nooks, besides rendering 
passage from car to car easy and absolutely safe and comfortable. 
A train of cars equipped with this improved device has the ap- 
pearance, and all the actual advantages, of one elongated coach. 
The passenger coaches of the Pennsylvania Railroad have long 
been noted for their comfort and cheerfulness, and the introduc- 
tion of this new vestibule adds one more appreciable improvement. 
It marks the constant disposition on the part of the Pennsylvania 
Railroad Company to provide for its patrons all the conveniences 
which a ripe experience can suggest. 
Most of these new cars are also provided with lavatories, and 
equipped with a very swceessfpl and satisfactory patent window 
shade,— ^
