Arkansas State Sportsmen's Association, 
The Capital Gun Club is prepared to announce that it will add 
$375 in cash at the ninth annual tournament of the Arkansas State 
Sjjortsnien's Association, which will be held under its auspices in 
this city Aug. 15-17. Furthermore, it will throw targets at 2 cents 
at this shoot, which is virtuallj equal to $500 added when a 
charge of 3 cents is made for targets, on which basis the Associa- 
tion did business heretofore. 
The programme will consist of ten events each day, eight at 15 
targets, and two, Nos. 4 and 8, at 20 targets, which make the total 
ntimber of. targets for each day 160. The entrance in the 15-target 
events will be $1, and in the 20-target events it will be |1.50, with 
targets extra at 2 cents. The added money will be $100 daily, $10 
to each event, while $50 will be set aside as average money' di- 
vided $10, $9, $8, $7, $6, $5 and $3. Then the club will hang up 
a purse of $25 for averages in the professional class, as the trade 
representatives will be permitted to shoot for targets only. The 
above purse will go to the two high guns in this class — $15 to first 
and $15 to second. The Rose system of division will- prevail at 
this shoot. Programmes will be out Aug. 1. The above is assured, 
and it may be possible that the added money will exceed this.

Fitchburg mie and Gun Cltib. 
FiTCHBURG, Mass., July 21. — A series of shoots has been ar- 
ranged between the Fitchburg Rifle and Gun Club and the Leo- 
minster Gun Club. The first match was shot on the grounds of 
the Fitchburg Cliib Wednesday afternoon, July 19. It was a 50- 
bird race, consisting of 20 regulars, 15 unknown and 15 reverse. 
There were six men in each team, and I believe they were very 
closely matched if all should shoot up to their averages. It was a 
fine day, with just enough wind to make some of the tjirds erratic 
though a good day for high scores. The Leominster men shot 
ip good form, and held up well all through the race, all doing 
their average vi^ork, while some of the Fitchburg team fell some-

Little RoCk, Ark., July 21.— On July 15 tiesiHy rill the best 
shooters of St. Louis put in an appearance at Du Pont Park 
to contest for the silver trophy, which was won by P. M. Kling 
a week ago with a straight score from almost as strong a field as 
to-day, Sumpter and Prendegast being the only ones who did not 
participate on this occasion. The contest was quite a stubborn 
affair, as three tied for the trophy on clean scores — Chase, Collins 
and Griesedick. This tie was not shot off, and will not be until 
Mr. Blake Collins returns from New England, where he has gone 
on a vacation and incidentally to get a little practice on the Inter- 
state circuit at Providence and Portland. Corray and Dr. Smith 
finished with but a single loss, the former missing his first and the 
latter losing his 13th dead out of bounds. Kling, the previous 
winner, could account for but 23. 
The weather was bright and clear, but the light breeze that pre- 
vailed was of no material assistance to the birds. These for the 
first part of the race were fair, but grew poorer toward the finish. 
The conditions of this race are 25 live birds, entrance $12,50. 
The trophy must be won twice in open competition and defended 
once thereafter in an individual contest. 
On July 22 the shooters will be given an opportunity to com- 
Eete for a very handsome medal, which will be known as the St. 
ouis challenge trophy. For this elegant trophy, which cost $250, 
the St. Louis shooters are indebted to Mr. A. A. Busch, the well- 
known brewer. Mr. Busch is himself a shooter, and has done much 
to stimulate the shooting interest of his city. After the first open 
contest for this medal it will resolve itself into an individual affair. 
This will also be a handicap, and the entrance in the inaugurial 
contest will be $12.50, and each participant will shoot at 25 
pigeons:

Elliott— Young. 
The race between these two classic exponents of the shooting art 
took place at the ball park in Springfield on July 18, and with the 
double attraction of the match and a ball game something like 
2,000 people turned out to witness the affair. 
The race itself proved to be a highly interesting one, especially 
along toward the finish, when Elliott won out after it looked as 
though he was hopelessly beaten. Young started off like a winner, 
as he killed his first 48 straight, and when the race was half over he 
led Elliott by 4 birds, scoring 49 to the latter's 45. Elliott trans- 
acted business very successfully with his first 18 birds, but lost his 
19th, 20th and 2.3d in rapid succession, the last two of these being 
dead out of bounds. Again in the second string he lost the 3d 
and 28d also dead out of bounds. At the end of the 75th round El- 
liott was still 4 birds behind, as he had been unable to reduce the 
little man's lead, each scoring 23 out of this string. Young losing 
his 14th and 25th of these. Elliott, as in his -previous string, lost 
his 3d and 23d. When each had shot at 87 birds it was discovered 
that the supply of birds was exhausted. Y^oung wanted the match 
declared finished, while Elliott insisted that the conditions re- 
quired that the race must be at 100 pigeons. The argument re- 
garding this point finally waxed so hot that a wager of $100 was laid 
between these two individuals. After some time the conditions 
were finally produced, and it was found that Yoting was correct, 
as there were no stipulations as to the number of birds that should 
constitute a race for the cup. The race was of course suspended 
and the ball players took possession of the field, but finally, after 
a wait of about two hours more, pigeons were procured and the 
match was finished. At this juncture Young was 3 birds in the 
lead, and it looked like a mortal cinch that he would ultimately 
win. However, to the surprise of every one he lost 4 out of the 
remaining 12 birds, while Elliott killed out and won by one bird, 
with 93 to 92. The sun had got very low when these last birds 
were shot, and those that flew toward it were difficult to see. This 
may possibly have affected Young's shooting somewhat, although 
'he made no complaint, but intended to endeavor to regain pos- 
session of the cup, as he expects to challenge for it in the fall, when 
the weather conditions will be more favorable to the birds'. 
The birds were an active lot, considering the season. The 
weather was bright and clear, with a light wind and quite warm. 
Dr. Russell, Springfield, was referee. 
Young's best run was 48, while Elliott's was 27, which re- 
mained unfinished.

It Was a very pretty race ttp to the e&d. of the 20 fegularS, atid 
looked as if it would be very cloise, the Leominsters being only 
one bird ahead tit that time. But the Fitchburgs dropped 9 birds 
to them in the 15 unknown angles and went to pieces in the 15 
reverse, giving them thereby 15 more. 
Mr. Bell, of the Leominster Club, judged the birds, and gave 
Jjerfect satisfaction to both clubs. A better man would be hard 
to find. 
Mr. Estabrook, of the Fitchburg Club and Mr. Andrews, of the 
iveommster Club, had no trouble in making their scores agree. 
The next match will be shot on the Leominster grounds the 
first week in August, though the day has not been settled as 
yet, when we are m hopes to hold them down a little closer. There 
IS the kindest of feelings between the two clubs, and though they 
proved themselves too much for us in this series, we shall be glad 
to meet them at any future time, or other clubs in the adjoining 
towns, as we believe it to be the best of practice. The scores:

Trap Arottnd Reading. 
Reading, Pa., July 22.— Arrangements are being made to hold 
the annual target tournament of the Schuylkill Gun Club, of this 
city, at the Three-Mile House, some time in September, date to 
be selected at the next meeting of the committee. As target tour- 
naments are a little scarce in this section at this time of the year 
the committee expect a large attendance of shooters. 
The principal event of the day will be the 50-target match for 
the championship of Berks and adjoining counties for a handsome 
trophy, to be awarded the winner. The entrance fee will be $3, of 
which 75 cents will be deducted for targets, and the remainder 
goes to the shooters as a grand sweep, to be divided 50, 30 and 20 
per cent. The programme will consist of 10 and 15 target events, 
with an entrance fee of 75 eeijtB,. $1- and $1.50. Targets will be 
thrown at 1% cents each. 
The committee in charge consists of Arthur A. Fink, chairman, 
David Early, Harry James, Frank Smith and Harry Nagle. 
July 19.— The Mount Penn Gun Club, of this city, held the 
eighth of a series of twenty shoots for a Parker gun on its grounds 
on Mount Penn. Cloudiness and high winds made shooting dif- 
ficult. The conditions were 25 targets per man, handicaps of added 
targets. Score follows:
