FOREST AND STREAM. 
Interstate Tottrnamerit at Trenton. 
Trenton, N. J. — The first of the Interstate target tournanitlits 
of- this year was held most successfully at Treaton, N. J., on the 
grounds of the Walsrode Gun Club, whose grounds are situated 
near Hutchinson's Lake, about 25 minutes' ride by trolley from the 
Pennsylvania Railroad station, on the road to Yardville. They are 
most pleasing grounds, both in respect to their natural beauty and 
trapshooting equipment. Although the club is young, as measured 
by time, it is old in wisdom, and began right by installing the 
tr^ps in a thoroughly workmanlike manner. Five expert traps 
oh the left of the club house are neatly screened and have a good 
platform, while on the right is a magautrap with an equally finished 
equipment of screen and platform. The traps worked well, and the 
bmerocks were in the air promptly to the call of "Pull." 
It was comfortably cool, and pregnant with the balminess of the 
springtime. The fields were a vivid green, the peach and pear 
5ind apple trees were in blossom, while the spring flowers lent an 
^ji'ded charm of color all grateful to the eye. 
• The secretary, Mr. G. N. Thomas, was specially active in making 
visitors welcome, as indeed were all the club members. In a 
word, it was a pleasant and enjoyable tournament from start to 
finish, whether one shot at the traps or looked on at others. Mr. 
James I. Woolerton, the club treasurer, acted most efficiently as 
cashier. 
The manager of the Interstate Association, Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, 
managed the tournament in the finished and easy manner which 
seems on the surface to indicate that managing a tournament is 
like unto a June morning saunter — those ' who are wise in such 
matters know it comes from consummate skill. 
Those who shot "for targets only," according to Interstate As- 
sociation procedure in such cases made and provided, were 
Messrs. Edward Banks, of the E C & Schullze Co.; T. H. Keller, 
Peters Cartridge Co.; T. S. Fanning, Laflin & Rand; B. H. Norton, 
Hazard; H. Marlin; J. J. Hallowell, U. M. C. Co., and G. E. 
Bartlett, Marlin Fire Arms Co. Mr. Marlin, who also represented 
the Marlin Fire Arms Co., has not been shooting long, only a 
few weeks, and his scores are quite creditable, considering his 
limited experience. 
A substantial lunch was furnished at most reasonable prices. 
May 2, Wednesday, First Day. 
The light was glaring to a certain degree, and the shooters ex- 
plained that they could not get the results which good holding 
should bring. There was a reflection on the gun barrels or a 
mirage around the target or something or other by way of an 
unknowable cause which produced a known effect. Thus it came 
to pass that no straights were made during the day. Many there 
were who seemed to be about becoming a thing of record, only 
to' step away into the realm of might have been.

May 3, Thursday, Second Day. 
The shooting was somewhat better as to the scores to-day. A 
gentle wind blew straightaway, and straights were timidly peep- 
ing out in the score sheets here and there. Mr. J. S. Fanning was 
the highest in average for each day, with "Capt. Bunk" next. After 
the programme was concluded two extra events at reverse angles 
WC^^ sViOt- 
The club aiid all concerned were highly pleased at the success 
of the tournament.

Boston Gun Club. 
Wellington, Mass.— A charming day ttshered in the new prize 
series Wednesday, May 2, at Wellington, and a dozen shooters 
attended to sample the new matches. An individual, also a team 
event figure now on the boards, and with distance handicaps 
to equal the merits of different shooters genuine contests of skill 
are possibJe in each. , , , , 
To-day the wind blew a gale, and even single targets were by 
no means easy, as they dipped and Jumped with every gust. The 
ever-present wind is an old story on these unprotected grounds, 
and though we are told that familiarity breeds contempt, in this 
case it seems that better acquaintance with the unwelcome guest 
avails but little on the score sheet. . . 
A new advocate for honors in our health-giving sport came 
out to-day, combining a wheel ride with practice at the trap. After 
the dejjarture of regular shooters Miskay's sister made her third 
attempt on targets, and broke 13 out of 25 straightaways. The 
light 16-g8Uge charge of 2drs. smokeless and %oz. shot was 
suljicient (or the purpose, and yet not too much of a disturbance 
for the little lady, wno is of course quite familiar with firearm.s, 
but ba.s not taken the active interest credited to the balance of 
the family. Her initial trial of 10 shots two or three years ago is 
well reniernbered, because of an incident. Her first command to 
"Pull" was followed by an almost simultaneous bang, and the 
target surrendered, much to the surprise of friends. The second 
shot was no less quick and successful, and all would have been 
well, but that the lady remarked, "That's funny; I never saw 
them!" With 8 misses following up the startling admission, the 
belief gained credence that the straightaways had become en- 
tangled in the charges of shot of their own accord by arriving in 
line with the muzzle of the gun at just the right instant. Trap- 
shooting to-day was voted "lots of fun, now that J really see them," 
and the new recruit, who barely exceeds five feet in height, has 
taken on Indies of stature along with the increased percentage. 
But does it not show what a little load will do, and that there is 
much waste of ammunition at all trap shoots, with the excessive 
loads used? A straightaway, while not the hardest of targets, is 
continually going away from the shot and increasing the distance 
between; thus if a light load does the business on this angle, it will 
likewise on others. A mere novice was the user to-day, so a past 
master would have exploited its good qualities still further.

National Gun Club* 
Milwaukee, Wis., April 28.— Herewith are scores of the National 
Gun Club's live-bird shoot, held at National Park, April 27, the 
.same being the fourth in the series of tweive monthly prize shoots. 
Also find inclosed the score of the match at 100 live birds for 
•WOO a side, shot by Dr. J. L. Williamson, of Milwaukee, against 
Geo. Roll, of Blue Island, 111., commencing at 10:30 this morn- 
mg. Both Wisconsin and Illinois sportsmen who witnessed this 
contest are of one mind— that they saw the best shooting to-day 
ever witnessed on any grounds. Iwo hundred birds were shot at 
by the two contestants, and 200 birds were retrieved, but un- 
fortunately for our Milwaukee man 5 of his were dead out of 
bounds. Geo. Roll did some of the finest shooting ever seen in 
the West, scoring 100 clean kills. 
The National Gun Club, of Milwaukee, is still satisfied that it 
has in Dr. Wilhamson one of the best live-bird shots in the 
West, and at the next match between these two contestants the 
club will look for different results. 
After the match just mentioned a sumptuous dinner was served 
by Col. F. C. G. Brandt, which was devoured with a relish by 
even those who were from $5 to .$100 short on the shoot. After 
dinner there were two events at 7 birds, scores of which follow:

Jeannette Gun Club» 
Eltingville, Staten Island, N. Y.— The Jeannette Gun Club 
and the Columbia Fishing Club had some fine weather during 
their annual invitation prize shoot, which was held at the grounds 
of the Columbia Fishing Club, Eltingville, Staten Island, on May 
3. The prizes consisted of three very fine toilet sets, a three- 
piece gold-mounted mirror, a dress suit case, and an alligator 
satchel. At first there were two events to be shot, each at 7 
birds, but owing to the scarcity of birds one event was dropped. 
The prizes were contested for m three classes, two prizes for the 
7s, 6s and 5s; 3 misses out, handicaps 25 to _32yds. 
The following is the order in which the prizes were won: Fir.st, 
M. Adams; second, J. Mohrman; third, Chas. Steffens; fourth, 
Wm. P. Rottmann; fifth. D. C. Peters; sixth, Fred Karstens. 
'These prizes were donated by R. Debacker. Seventh was a toss- 
up between all those who went out on their first three birds, and 
was won by H. Otton, and consisted of a gold-mounted toilet 
set. These received each a silver match box: Hainhorst, Thorn- 
ford, C. Meyer, Ehlen. Roof, Bohling, J. Vagts, Interman, 
WoefTermann, H. Pape, Meyerdicks, Brunie.
