FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Sept. i6, 1859. 
Maine State Tournament. • 
-To write up the Maine State tournament, giving simply the scores 
and a general mention of the whole affair, would convey to the reader 
but the faintest glimmer of what actually took place in the way of 
personal prowess and concentrated enthusiasm. As an illustration, 
there was Mr. R. Hunnewell, who won the first average and who 
never smiled (in his anxiety) for two days until he finished a wm- 
ner. Since then his face is likened unto a luminous orb, and I 
doubt if artificial light will be found necessary at his home for 
months to come; and the musical cadences of his voice will be 
heard among the "men of Maine" for an extended period askmg 
them to come right upto the soda water fountain and quafif to the 
dregs. So much for the winner. Mr. Barker, the secretary, sim- 
ply smiles. His work is finished to a fine polish. His patience and 
persistent good nature carried every one right along. 
• Among the out-of-town and State shooters were the silent - Grif- 
fetts, of Pascoag, R. I.; Ernest Chisholm, of Portland; Mr. O. R. 
Dickey, the shooter from Bosting; J. R. Hull, of Meriden, Conn.; 
T. J. Hallowell, of Bridgeport, Conn.; Leroy, from Campello, 
Mass.; Ben Norton, his smile and good nature, from New York; 
Harold Money, from Oakland, N. J., and your obedient servant, 
from Batavia, the seven last-mentioned being classed as experts 
and eligible to only a most pleasant meeting. And this is just as it 
should be at all tournaments. 
About l.SOll targets were consumed in the two days, using one 
set of five expert and one magautrap, the latter being very popular. 
A number of ladies were present, all of whom took the liveliest 
interest in the shooting, and this is another phase of these meet- 
ings as it should be. The presence of ladies controls, and there is 
a harmonious blending of the whole scene. 
In closing, I beg to call attention to a salient feature of this 
Maine tournament, to wit. : The sapient caterer of the feast col- 
lected 50 cents per head from all before entering the banquet hall 
and thereby was enabled to balance his ledger account at the con- 
clusion of the carnival. 
Wednesday. 
Wednesday's shooting progressed until dark, with all save one 
event of the f^rst day's programme unfinished. 
The weather and everything else was favorable to large scores. 
The sun, which had hidden itself behind the clouds in the early 
morning, came out bright and clear in season for the regular 
shooting events. Sixty entries in the first event. The scores:

Fulton Gun Club. 
Brooklyn, L. I., Sept. 4.— The Labor Day shoot of the Fulton 
Gun Club was ■ well attended, twenty-six shooters participating. 
The weather was charming. The place was all that could be de- 
sired in a shooting ground, and the background was clear sky. 
The programme was departed from. A good lunch was provided. 
The scores were low, as nearly all were not thoroughly schooled in 
the perfect form which comes from long experience, but the en- 
joyment was 100 per cent. The cup event brought out, with others, 
two strong shooters into direct competition — Messrs. Phister and 
Van Allen, both of whom scored the full 50, the former breaking 
48 out of 50 and 2 more out of his handicap of 4 while Van Allen 
scored 49 and only needed 1 of his handicap of 2 to shoot at to 
make the full 50. The scores:

Brooklyn, L. I., Sept. 9. — There was a good attendance of shoot- 
ers and the competition was enlivened by some team matches. In

Brooklyn Gun Club's Live-Bird Shoot. 
Sept. 6. — The live-bird shoot of the Brooklyn Gun Club was very 
pleasant in every way, though the attendance was not up to what 
was expected, due, probably, to the short notice given to the shoot- 
ers, for the invitations were sent out only two or three days before 
the event took place. 
There were three events in the programme, but two extra events 
of 5 birds each were shot before the regular programme began, 
and an extra event at 5 birds, ?5 entrance, one prize, a beautiful 
scarfpin— a horseshoe set with diamonds— was shot after the reg- 
ular programme was finished. The latter was practically a miss- 
and-out, for all ties on five shot a miss-and-out for the scarfpin, the 
single prize of the event. This evoked the keenest interest, and 
terminated somewhat unexpectedly as to the winner, as there were 
several seasoned and tried match shooters who were looked upon 
as the source of the winner. In the tie were Messrs. Morfey, Bis- 
sett. Doty and Mr. S. M. Van Allen, of Jamaica, L. I., who forth- 
with proceeded to shoot off, miss-and-out. Morfey retired on his 
third bird, and Bissett on the fourth. This narrowed the competi- 
tion to Messrs. Allen aiid Doty, and the great performance of the 
latter in his recent matches made him the favorite. But Van 
Allen held the confidence of his friends, who knew his skill best, 
and the result justified it, for Doty missed his 6th, which left Van 
Allen the winner, and hearty congratulations from all present were 
his. Mr. W. Hopkins was another of the shooting surprises of the 
day, for out of 32 birds which he shot at he missed but 2, and the 
exceedingly clever manner in which he shot marked him as a 
true shooter. Capt. Money arrived late, and by some misunder- 
standing his gun and shells had not arrived, so he shot strange' 
guns and any load at hand, with the usual gameness for which he 
is noted; but the change to a misfit gun made its misfitness felt 
in the scores, though he shot well at that. The first three events i 
are the extras. The ne.xt three are programme events. The scores:
