FOREST AND STREAM. 
[July 8, 1899, 
The Altoona Tournament* 
The three days* tournament of the Altoona Rod and Gun Club, 
July 27 to 29 inclusive, fell short of what was expected in the 
way of attendance, and indeed but for the presence of that Spartan 
band of shooters, the manufacturers' agents, it would have come 
near to being a failure. While this tournament was open to the 
world, the manufacturers' agents elected to shoot for targets only, 
for, as one of them vei-j' sagely remarked, the average amateur 
who doesn't care if the trade representatives shoot for the money 
is generally among those who pack up their . guns and return 
to the safety of the family hearth at an early stage of -the proceed- 
ings. 
As to tlie specific reasons why there was such a lack of support 
no one can specically set them" forth, but in a general way it is 
probable that an open 'tournament, 2-cent targets and no added 
money had a check on the shooting ardor of the amateur, while 
the equitable system seemed to have a discouraging effect on those 
who took part, for with the moneys -so fine and so regardless of 
equity but few came out with a sum greater than their entrance. 
Tlie tournament was held on the club's grounds, which are 
situated on Wopsononock Heights, famous for their picturesque 
scenerj^ and the immensity of view which they afford. The ride 
up the mountain is not the least interesting feature of a trip to 
Wopsononock Heights. A ride of a few minutes by electric car 
lands one at the depot in Juniata, a suburb of Altoona, where one 
changes cars, taking the narrow-gauge to the Heights. The grade 
is very steep, and the little engine, with its two or three rickety 
looking cars, strains and pulls bravely till the top is reached. 
The road winds and twists about, doubling back and forth, and 
gaining ground slowly in striving for the perpendicular, The 
hotel is a summer and amusement resort. A country I'oad and 
board walk, about two-thirds of a mile long, lead one to the 
shooting grounds, which are on the edge of the plateau. Far away 
in the deep valley below, the houses look as small as children's 
toys, and the trees are in keeping as to size, looking like trees 
in miniature. In the valley lies the city of Altoona, while furtlier 
up the valley some seventeen miles, seemingly ljut a short distance 
as compared with the greater distances, lies the city of Tyrone. 
Beyond the broad valley, ridge after ridge of mountains faded 
away in dim perspective, softened bv the hazy atmosphere, till 
they were lost in the distance. The Heights are 2,600ft. above the 
sea level. From the lookout, a wooden structure 50ft. high, from 
twenty to eighty miles of distance, presents itself to the view. 
The air was pure and bracing, conducive to wholsesome sleep 
and to good appetites. 
The tr^de was represented by Messrs. Edward Batiks, Neaf 
Apgar, J. S. Fanning, W. F. Parker, J. J. Hallowell, Capt. A. W. 
Monej', Paul North, W. L. Colville and Admiral A. G. Courtney. 
They shot for targets only, although tlie competition was open 
to all. There were home and visiting shooters as follows: W. S. 
Sands, U. S. Houck, Dr. F. M. Christv, E. Kottman, Mike, C. E. 
Khoades. W. F. Tappan, E. B. Bailey, Dr. Spanogle, G. T. 
Harpham. P. M. Morrison. W. S. BooW, E. L. Murray, Wm. 
Bell, J. Koelliker, J. Bowman, J. B. Kurtz, T. J. House, of 
Altoona; C. Kline and L. R. Leister, of Hnntington, Pa.; L. B. 
Blair, W. R. Hicks. E. J. Harris, E. T. Trego, D. D. Stine. W.

C. Wentworth, L. B. Kellerman, J. B. Ilighberger. J. A. Holder-

of others, 
Mr. G. G. Zeth'waB- rnanager. Mr. N. E-. Ferguson was cashier. 
Mr. Sergeant, representativt <i{ the f^;iflin lV; Rand Powder Co., 
was referee. 
First Day, ]\sm 27. 
The weather was wami. the sun shining clear and bright. There 
was quite a breeze blowing, which affected the flight of the targets 
in all possible jvays betimes, so that the scores of all were more 
or less affected i'n consequence, the experts, however, from their 
quicker time and greater skill showing the least falling off. There 
were two magautraps installed on the grounds, but owing to the 
smaller number of shooters than was expected only one trap was 
used for tlie progTainme events, the other being used for side 
shootings in such events as the shooters were pleased to engage in.

Second Day, Jane 28, 
The weather was clear, warm and bright. There was a stiff wind 
in the forenoon, which played all kinds of freakish doings with 
the targets. They would duck, jump and undulate in the most 
erratic manner, and in a way which no quickness or skill of the 
shooter could guard against. 
In the afternoon the Hayseed squad, so-called, whose members 
were Messrs. Banks, Fanning, Hallowell, Apgar and Parker, and 
the Daisy squad — Messrs, Colville, Courtney, North, Denny and 
Capt. Money — lined up at the score, to give an exhibition of 
quick target smashing. The ten men fired one after another, as 
the targets followed each other into the air in rapid succession. 
So rapid was the work that it was difficult for the eye to follow the 
targets and note the results accurately. The first attempt was 
imsatisfactory, two shooting at the same target, and confusion re- 
sulting therefrom. The second attempt was a success til! near 
the end, when the shooters got somewhat mixed and two or three 
shots were fired at the same target. Out of the 100 targets shot at 
but few were unbroken, and the time consumed was but a few 
minutes. The conditions for good shooting were much more favor- 
able in the afternoon, the wind having much subsided.

Third Day, June 29. 
A violent thunderstorm, which set in early in the night, cooled 
the temperature greatly. The tents of the club were blown down, 
but, aside from this, no damage was done, though there had been 
rumors that the two upper stories of the lookout had been blown 
off and other serious damage done, all of which was found to be 
without a basis in fact. 
The number of shooters had fallen off, so that the programme 
events were finished early in the afternoon, after which much extra 
shooting was done, the club throwing some targets at 1 cent and 
others free. A novel feature of the extra events was some shooting 
from the lookout at targets thrown from the magautrap below, the 
conditions being thus quite unlike any shooting in ordinary 
practice.

Glintings. 
When the midnight train of the Pennsylvania Railroad pulled in 
to Altoona on Thursday night of last vveek it found waiting the 
Eastern contingent, namely Capt. Money, Capt. J. A. H. Dressel, 
Messrs. Edward Ban ks, W. F. Parker and B. Waters. Mes.srs. 
Colville and North had taken other routes in their homeward 
flight. Quite a number of the home shooters saw the party off. 
among whom were Mr. G. G. Zeth, C. H. Heath, "Uncle Joe" C'arlin, 
Jake Stier and others. Mr. Stier, at the last moment, gave the 
parly a handsome douceur of old rye .significance which en- 
veloped his memory in rose-colored atmosphere by common con- 
sent pf the party. Altoona was Mr. Banks' old home, and the 
affectionate greeting and farewells and endless friendly courtesy 
paid to him throughout the tournament were significant of his 
great popularity. If good wishes could have materialized then 
and there, all concerned would have been princes of the world 
instead of princes of good fellows. 
Mr. R. A. McNought, of Hoilidaysburg, Pa., was one of the 
most enthusia.stic shooters at the tournament. He has not yet 
had full experience in some of the details of shooting, so that 
he either holds his gun wrong or it does not fit him; be that 
as it may, from the recoil he got a lovely black eye, which grew 
blacker a'nd more puffy as the days passed. A friend urged upon 
him that his eye was swelling badly, and the blue and black 
shadings were spreading. His retort was that it could swell only 
so much anyway, after which the gun would kick the swelling- 
down again; and he continued shooting. Of such game men are 
made the salt of the earth. 
Neaf .Apgar, after some very good shooting at the Altoona 
tournament, the result of very careful and close attention to 
the proposition involved m making scores, remarked that "There 
is a great deal of aperture about these targets." Indeed, with 
sky and horizon so immense, it was a great "aperture." 
Mr. Colville gave an informal dinner to some of the club mem- 
bers and the press on Wednesday ni.eht, at which the holding of 
a great tournament on Wopsononock Heights was discussed. The 
matter is under contemplation for one of next year's events. It 
will require some added money and a great deal ot" work to make it 
a success; but few things in the world are accomplished without 
labor and capital. Let the good work go on.

Editor Forest and Stream: 
H. C. Mortenson's annual tournament, held at Britt, la., June 
20 and 21, was an enjoyable one, although the attendance was some- 
what limited. The weather the fir.st day was quite hot, and in 
the afternoon there was a nice breeze blowing across the traps. 
There were ten events each day, making 150 targets per man. 
Three dollars was added to each event excepting the last one 
each da3', v,'hich was a "jacksnipe" event, and created a good deal 
of amusement for the spectators, of which there were a goodly 
number, and a good per cent, of them ladies. The second day the 
wind came up, and the way it made targets climb into the air to 
the left quarter was a caution. Charlie Budd nearly broke his 
sjiinal column looking into the air for one of them. There were 
but six who shot every event in the two days. They landed as 
follows: Sheldon 259, Long 258, Cook 256, Mortenson 255, Kline 
251, Steege 249. The scores:

St, Louis Doings. 
St. Loais, Mo., June 25.— A 100-target handicap, for a sih, 
water set, was shot at Du Pont Park to-day. This brought for 
eight entries, and resulted in a win for Ed Prendergast by a sec 
of 95,- he scored 92 out of 100 and then broke his allowance of: 
Dr. .Smith and Spencer were second, with a total of 92. In t 
contest of a week ago Dr. Smith won the trophy on 87, thouj 
on this occasion Prendergast took no part in this competitio 
One of the conditions of this event was that the winner, if ; 
prove to be other than Dr. Smith, must shoot off with the latti 
for absolute possession of the prize. So immediately after Prend« 
gast was declared the winner he and the Doctor proceeded 
settle the ultimate ownership of the silverware in a 100-targ 
race. _ In this Prendergast again demonstrated that he was 'tl 
superior of the medicine man in shooting skill, and complacent 
walked off with the prize, having scored 88»to Smith's 85. Th 
was a decidedly popular win, as Mr. Prendergast has for a loi 
time been foremost in upholding the shooting standard of tl 
Mound City, while above all he possesses the happy faculty 
making friends of all those with whom he comes in contact, 
is safe to assert that there are a host of shooters everywhere wl 
will rejoice to learn of his success. 
George and Burns shot, in the original contest, but as th.<j 
had no chance to win did not shoot up their allowance. T: 
former scored 63 and the latter 53. The detailed scores ai 
ajjpended:

Moberly Shoot. 
The gun club of Moberly, Mo., held a two days' tournament ; 
targets on June 27 and 28. This was not expected by the pn 
meters to be a very pretentious affair, as the club did not fc 
able to make any special bid for patronage. However, this tourn; 
ment was given with a view of replenishing the club's coffer, 
the very low charge of 1 cent was made for targets, and thos 
who are familiar with conducting shooting meetings will readil 
understand that this cannot prove a very great source of revenue 
so altogether this shoot was conducted on a very liberal basi 
The best evidence of this was the number of out-of-towm shootei 
in attendance, among whom were most of the good amateur sho' 
of Missouri, while there were some who came from other State 
The list of those who were present is as follows; Chris S. Got 
lieb, Dave Elliott, F. M. Berkey, W. H. Plunkett, J, D. Dillc 
and J. J-. Cornett, Kansas City; T. VV. Lemon, H. H. Hollymai 
W.N. Bate, G. W. Bate and Deimer, Palmyra; C. McL. Clark, Chai 
and Herbert Taylor, the latter representing the Du Pont powd< 
Co.; W. H. Allen, Pleasant Hill; Joe L. Douglass and Heni 
f^ee, Boone county; G. W. Hayden, Paris; J. \V. Gulick, Brool 
field; W. VV. Reavis, Pisga; H. M. Davis, Richmond; J. I 
Wilmot. Lexington; J. H. Winscott, Sturgeon; F. C. Rieb 
Alton, 111.; J. L. Head (Dennis), Peru, Ind.; and C. W. Budt 
Des Moines, la., of the U. M. C. Co. and Parker gun; Cha 
North, Cleveland, O., with the Chamberlin Target & Cartridg 
Co. Mr. Chas. North was looking after the magautrap an 
making himself general!}' useful, so he took practically no pai 
in the compentition. The tournament was a very satisfactory on* 
being conducted on a liberal basis, and its success is mainly du 
to the efforts of Drs. Clapp and Hickerson. who were untirin 
in their efforts to make it pleasant and agreeable for the visitin 
shooters : 
First Bay^ Tuesday^ fune 27. 
The number of principals engaged in the contest to-day ws 
very gratifying to the club, for all told this showed an aggregal 
of twenty-eight, of which number fifteen shot through. Charle 
Budd was the star performer, as, with a loss of but 4 targets, 
was easily high man. After his miss in the third event he gc 
his eye on the rocks and never made a skip until he had run y 
the great total of 162 straight. This gave him the great percei 
lagc of 979. Dr. Clapp, Dave Elliott and Dennis are all tied f< 
second place with 928. Taken collectively, the competition ws 
hard enough, aiid the place hunter could not thrive here. Tf 
weather was quite warm, and it rained a little during the da; 
though not enough to interfere with the shooting.

Mfesoufi State Amateur Association. 
'The board of directors of this organization held a meeting 
Moberlv, Mo., on June 28. Those present were Messrs. W. I 
Allen Pleasant Hill, Dr. C. B. Clapp, Moberly; Chris S. Gottlie 
O. K!. Gun Club, Kansas City; Dave Elliott, Washington Pat 
Gun Club, Kansas City, and Herbert Taylor, of the St. Loui 
Gun Club, these composing the board. Election of officers beiri; 
in order, the following were chosen: Dr. C. B. Clapp, Presiden' 
Chris S. Gottlieb, Vice-President; Dr. E. R. Hickerson, Secr- 
tary and Treasurer. It was decided to hold the next annu 
tournament at Moberly some time during the month of July, , 
1900. In the future this organization will hold its tournament' 
different cities each year, and will in no way conflict with tj 
Missouri State Fish and Game Protective Association tournament 
which will doubtless always be held in either St. Louis or Kans: 
City, as they have grown to such jjroportions as to be of 
national character. From the above it is evident that the Amatei 
Association will do nothing that would in any way jeopardize tl. 
interests of the parent organization, 'PatjL B, Litzke.
