The Intei'statc'^^Association. 
At Narragansett Pier. 
Just about one year ago the Interstate Association held a target 
tournament at Providence. R. I., under the auspices of the gun 
club of that city. The Providence boys had a lot of vim, and went 
to work and aroused the whole of New England, bringing together 
one of the largest crowds ever seen at an Interstate tournament and 
establishing a record for target throwing — over 17,000 in two days 
from one set of five expert traps— a record that will be hard to beat. 
The Providence shoot was a good one, and Rhode Island had 
reason to be proud of the efforts of its leading gun club. 
Emboldened by the success that attended the Providence shoot, 
the Canonchet Gun Club, of Narrangansett Pier, R. I., whispered 
sometliing in the ear of S. A. Tucker just before he left for New 
York some time last winter. The result was that Mr. Tucker put 
his oar in when the time came for the Interstate Association to 
select places for holding target tournaments in 190O, and Nana- 
gansett Pier was one of the chosen few. The dates suggested for 
holding the shoot were satisfactory; hence the tournament was 
held July 11-12, Wednesday and Thursday of last week. 
The Shoot a Thorough Sticcess. 
The shoot was a thorough success from start to finish. The 
Usual preliminary work on the day before the tournament brought 
out about fifteen shooters, and a full programme of events was 
shot through before the boys decided to go back to the Pier and 
watch the moon rise from the piazza of the Atlantic Hotel. Jack 
Fanning was the big bug in the preliminary work, but some of the 
01 hers chased him pretty well down the line. 
Visitors dropped in fast during the later hours of Tuesday, and 
before Manager Shaner went to bed, which he always does at an 
early hour, he had figured out that some thirty-odd shooters were 
on the ground ready to start in the morning. A review of the 
number of entries in the first day's events shows that there was an 
average of almost forty-five in all ten events; a single additional 
entry in any one event would have made the average exactly 
forty-five, which is good — decidedly good— these days. On the 
second day one event had fifty entries, but toward the close the 
entries dropped off, several shooters having to leave early, as "The 
Pier" is not an easy place to get home from, the 4:15 P. M. train 
being much sought aftei". Altogether a total of 14,550 targets were 
thrown in the two days in the programme events alone. On the 
first day proceedings were brought to a close with an event at 25 
targets, expert rules, which caused another 400 targets to be added 
to the list, there being sixteen entries in that event. 
Some Features of Narragansett. 
Trapshooters do not as a rule frequent places like Narragansett; 
I may therefore be pardoned for referring briefly to some of the 
special features of that place. The programme for the tournament 
states in its introductory that "the main portion of Narragansett 
Pier lies along the shore from the bathing beach on the north to 
the south pier, and consists of about a score of large hotels a 
hundred or more cottages, four churches, the post office, a few 
stores, and last, but not least, the Casino." It also states that "the 
chief attraction at the Pier is the bathing beach." 
AH the above is perfectly correct, but the scribe who wrote that 
description left out a couple of features distinctly Narragansettian. 
These were the "police station" and Narragansett's one policeman. 
Taking the police station first, it is a frame building, dark with 
age, and with spiders making free with its wide open windows and 
doors. Paint has never soiled it, and one cannot believe that it 
ever boasted a "blotter." Jack Hallbwell graphically described it 
thus; "The calaboose is a peach!" 
I have also referred to Narragansett's "one policeman" as a 
feature of interest. I did so because I never saw him in any 
place save on the corner near the Rockingham Hotel, cata- 
cornered from the post office, from which vantage post he could 
scan all his beat, from the drug store to the Sea View R. R., 
possibly 250yds. all told. His costume was strictly negligee— a straw 
hat, tunic fastened by two buttons at the throat, a "billy" twirled 
by a leather thong in true Tenderloin fashion. Everybody ad- 
mired his pose. He is just as much a feature of Narragansett as 
the Casino. (There may have been more than one cop, but the 
boys said not — and they generally know.) 
HEow We Got to the Grounds. 
There were several ways to get to the grounds. Admiral Court- 
ney and the rest of the dudes drove out by way of the driveways 
through Gov. Sprague's beautiful grounds direct to the club house. 
Some of us walked all the way, as it was not quite a mile all told. 
Others walked about half a mile to the terminus of the Sea View 
R. R. and then waited for a troUey car that ran once every hour. 
The trolley ride lasted just three minutes, covered one-third 
of a mile that lay between the terminus of the road and the 
entrance to the shooting grounds, and was negotiated for the small 
sum of 5 cents. (N. B. — That ride, soda water and "hot dogs" at 
the refreshment tent were the only 5-cent purchases obtainable in 
Narragansett; everything else cost money — and lots of it.) 
Once at the grounds, the view was very beautiful, and the cool 
breezes that blew all the time most refreshing. The club house of 
the Canonchet Gun Club is small, but served its purposes very well. 
The large tent of the Interstate Association, Elmer E. Shaner's 
pride, afforded shade to the contestants and spectators, and was 
duly appreciated. 
The background, while it added much to the picturesqueness of 
the landscape, also added many ciphers to the scores. In the first 
place the ground beyond the traps sloped away to patches of wood- 
land that were just about as dark as they could be. The slope of 
the ground was deceptive, and more targets were lost by being 
overshot than by any other error of judgment. Then again there 
was always a strong wind blowing from the score to the traps; 
this wind was so strong at times that even Jack Fanning lost several 
targets, causing him to pucker up his lips and whistle cheerlessly. 
Tt was good, hard shooting, but extremely interesting; any one 
was liable to lose a target when least expected. 
The trap hou.se was a capital one, apparently modeled after that 
of tlie Providence Gun Club. The trappers had plenty of room to 
work in, and had no trouble in handling the targets that were piled 
up behind them on a broad shelf that contained on Tuesday morn- 
ing just 25,000 targets, the contents of fifty barrels. One set of 
five expert traps was used, and none of the traps gave much 
trouble at any period of the shoot. All in all, the Canonchet Gun 
Club is to be congratulated on its club house, trap house, etc. 
A Boss Cashier. 
The Canonchet Gun Club is also to be congratulated on its 
choice of a cashier for the shoot. The cashier in question was 
Bob Root, of Providence, LiTcverently nicknamed "Broot." who is 
certainly one of the daddies at running a cashier's office. Mr. 
Root was the whole oflice; he made up the squad pads, wrote 
down all the names, took entries, entered up the scores on the 
sheets kept for the use of the press, figured out the moneys, and 
had a system of his own which enabled him to ascertain in an 
instant just what a man had coming to him at any period during 
the shoot. Within a minute or two after the last gun had been 
fired Bob was yelling to the boys to "Come and get your money 
and let me go home," In addition to doing all the above, this 
New England wonder found time to make several rude remarks 
about a certain party who shall be nameless, to crack many jokes 
and to hand out cigars and sustenance free of charge to all who 
were in .^ore need of the same. Considering what he did and 
how he did it, Mr. B. Root must be possessed of a great head and 
a good temper. This is what Elmer Shaner thinks of him as a 
cashier: "I've never met McConaughy, of Cincinnati, but I've 
heard a lot about him. If he can beat I5ob Root he's fit to have 
wings right away!" 
All the other help at this shoot was built somewhat after the 
same order as the cashier. Messrs. George Briggs (who is, I be- 
lieve, president of the club), G. H. Cook and J. C. Tucker, Jr.. 
acted as referees, relieving one another frequently. Considerin'*- 
how hard the background was, the decisions were given well and 
promptly. The puller was Rube Burdick, who was evidently no 
novice at the game, for even the speed of squad No. 1 did' not 
feaze him in the least. Frank Laughlin was blackboard scorer and 
Amos Tripp the party who penciled down the scores on the pad<;- 
tbe latter was far the more experienced of the two scorers. ' 
"Manufacturers' Agents." 
The list of manufacturers' agents is a long one, there being 
sixteen in all on the ground, though not all of them shot through 
the programme. The list consists of the following: T. S Fannine 
Laflin & Rand Powder Co. ; J. J. Hallowell, U. U. "C. Co ■ W f' 
Parker, L. J. Gaines. S. A. Tucker and O. B. Dickev' all of 
Parker 'Brothsxp;. Calvillc anfi B, Lerov Wgodard' of the 
Dupont Powder Co. ; Col. A. G. Courtney, of the Remington Arms 
Co.; Edward Banks, of the American E. C. & Schultze Gunpowder 
Co.; J. H. Cameron and C. E. Roberts, of the W. R. A. Co.; 
B. H. Norton, of the Hazard Powder Co., and Messrs. Howard 
Marlin. Geo. E. Bartlett and Miss Clinton, of . the Marlm Fire 
Arms Co. 
nimatcufs. 
Among the amateurs were some who came from quite a distance. 
For instance, there was the "Watcrville squad," referred to later. 
This squad was composed of S. A. Greene, D. P. Foster. S. L, 
Preble and Dr. M. K. Dwinell. all of Waterville, Me., and W. L. 
"Johnson," of Portland, Me. L. H. Schortemeier came from New 
York city, and "Capt. Bunk" from New Brunswick, N. J. H. L. 
Amos, of Willimantic. was the sole representative of the Nutmeg 
State's amateurs. (Where was M. H. Clark, of New Haven?) A. 
B. Cartledge came all the way from Philadelphia, and notwithstand- 
ing the fact that he was sadly out of form shot through the whole 
programme, and never made a whimper. 
Massachusetts sent six rej>resentatives on the first day: V. B. 
Whitin, of Whitit*; Tom Howe, of Hingham; J. D. Jordan, of 
Springfield; E. B. Wadsworth (Puck), of Boston, and A. H. Baker 
and A. F. I^eonard, of Brockton. 
Rhode Island had seventeen representatives outside of those who 
came from the home club : H. W. Bain, H. B. Rust, C. H. Powell, 
Senator N. F. Reiner, G. Norton and C. H. Budlong came from 
Providence; E. C. Griffith, W. F. Slade, F. Inman and C. H. 
Phettiplace from Pascoag; C. H. Getchell, F. Mills, A. Seagraves 
and E. R. Darling from Woonsocket, and F. Barber, W. Metcalf 
and E. Brown from_ Carolina. 
The home club was represented by George Briggs, Jas. Mc- 
Ardle. C. H. Tucker, J. C. Tucker, Jr., G. H. Cook, R. Gavitt, 
Jas. Arnold, and last, but not least, F. C. Serenson, secretary of 
the Canonchet Gun Club, a fii^t-class shot and a good hustler, who 
worked hard enough to knock him out in the shooting line. 
The Manager Hustled Things. 
The shoot was run on strictly American principles. When de- 
livering his usual speech to the shooters before the first gun was 
fired, Manager Shaner stated that as there were so many entries 
each squad must be ready to step into the place of the one that 
had just shot if the shooters wished to get through in time for 
dinner. The consequence was that as fast as one squad got through 
in any event its place was taken by the next in order. Seldom, if 
ever, was a m,Tn missing when his name was called. Manager 
Shaner acted as squad hustler, and "bustled us about" (as the 
English shooters said of Paul North when he ran their annual 
tournament last June), keeping things moving like clockwork. 
The result of his efforts is well shown in the number of targets 
thrown each day. The trappers worked well and faithfully, and 
added in no small degree to the success of the shoot. 
Taken all in all, I have never attended a more pleasantly con- 
ducted shoot; I have been at some just as good, but never at one 
that was superior to this one, and it should do a good deal 
toward booming trapshooting in Rhode Island. 
First Day, July U, 
This was a bright, clear day, with a "strong southwest wind that 
made the shooting very hard at times, the targets being forced 
down by the breeze, that blew directly from the score over the 
traps. 
The attendance was very good, fifty-five shooters taking part 
in the ten programme events, the total entry list being only one 
short of an .iverage of forty-five for all events. Shooting com- 
menced promptly at 9:30, and including an interval of half an 
hour for lunch the programme was completed by 5:45, 7,635 targets 
having been thrown from the five traps in exactly seven hours and 
three-quarters by the clock! 
Several of the boys thought it was too early to go back to their 
hotels when the programme was shot out, so started an extra 
event at 25 targets, expert rules, one man up, $2 entrance. Fan- 
ning won first alone on 23, Leroy being one of two to cut up 
second money on 22. As the event had sixteen entries, this made 
an additional 400 targets thrown during the day. 
The race for the first three or four places was quite interesting, 
S. A. Tucker and Fanning each scoring 95 out of their first 100 
shot at. Griffith, of Pascoag, the holder of the Rhode Island in- 
animate target championship, was high among the amateurs, with 
Preble, of Waterville, Me., 4 targets behind him. Thirty-Six 
shooters in all shot through the programme. Below are the scores

Second Day, July 12. 
Ihe weather conditions to-day were quite difl'erent from what 
thejr were on the previous one. A southeaster blew up a lot of 
fog fram the bay, and the sun was not visible all day. This made 
the shooting harder than ordinarily, as the light was very poor and 
varied much at times. This, added to the dark background' and 
the strong wind, made the boys attend strictly to business when 
at the score. 
Some shooters who took part yesterday were absent to-day but 
others came to take their places. In fact the score sheet shows a 
Broke.

159 breaks, as against 160 yesterday. Leroy shot in his old foarun 
for the first 100 targets, breaking' 95 of them and leading Fanning sit 
that stage of the game by 2 targets for the day's average. He fell 
oil after lunch and finished in third place, 6 targets bcMjid Fan- 
ning. Preble again shot very well, and deservedly won first honors 
among the amateurs. A pleasant feature of the day that was not 
on the programme was due to the thoughtfulness of Jack Hallo' 
well, who felt that the "Waterville squad" merited some specfat 
mention on the part of the shooters, since they had come so faT 
from home and shot all through the programme. He accordingly 
quietly suggested that the manager, Elmer Shaner, propose three 
cheers for the Waterville squad when the last man of that squad' 
had shot at his last target. This was done, and three hearty cheers 
were given for the boys from Maine. The squad was made up as 
follows: S. A. Greene, D. P. Foster, Dr. M. Dwinell and S. L. 
Preble, all of Waterville, and W. L. "Johnson," of Portland, Me. 
Maine carried off the schuetzen koenig honors of the tournament 
so far as the amateurs were concerned, Mr. Preble pocketing them 
quite easily. 
Below are the scores, together with the averages of the twenty- 
seven who shot through the programme :

Total number of targets thrown, 6,915. 
General Averages, 
Fanning naturally heads the list of those who shot through the 
entire programme for the two days. Like several others, he shot 
consistently, his totals for each day being close together. This 
is the more remarkable as the conditions on the second day were 
much more severe than on the first, when the light was bright and 
constant. On the second day it was not only a poor light, but 
varied considerably. 
Twenty-five shooters shot through the programme, their totals 
and percentages of breaks being as follows, each man shooting at 
340 targets, or 170 each day: ,
