Mr. Paul LitzTce, who in his spare days for some years past has 
devoted his energies unselfishly to the upbuilding of trapshoot- 
ing interests and to the Jiterary features of sporting journalism, 
has made his debut in a wider field, which is more commensurate 
with his literary taste and talent, namely, that of news editor 
of the Little Rock Advertiser, which is now soon, as per its 
announcement, to become a daily. In its editorial reference to 
the new pen it has added to its collection, it states: "The policy 
of the paper will of course remain unchanged. It will continue 
to battle for the masses and the interests of the common people, 
as it has done from the first issue. Mr. E. E. Audigier, the city 
editor, will continue to make the paper the most tip-to-date in 
the city, and with the new blood infused by the acquisition of 
Mr. Paul Litzke as news editor, the paper will not only con- 
tinue the most popular in the city, but cannot help but become 
still more popular and influential."

Mr. E. T>. Fulford, of Utica, N. Y., announces that the pro- 
gramme of his shoot at Sylvan Beach, on Labor Day and the 
following day (Sept. 3 and 4), is open to all, and all are cordially 
invited. There will be fifteen events at 10 targets each, four 
moneys. Pose system. On the second day there will be ten 
events at 10 targets, and one event at 10 live birds, $5 entrance, 
three moneys, class shooting, 40, 40 and 20 per cent. Pigeons, 25 
cents extra; targets, 2 cents extra. Heaquarters at the St. 
Charles Hotel. This programme should appeal to the great body 
of shooters who desire sport and competition at a fair ex- 
penditure. 
In the contest for the Dupont trophy, at Watson's Park, 111., on 
Aug. 24, between Messrs. J. A. R. Elliott and E. S. Graham, the 
iormer being the challenger, each contestant shot at 33 birds. 
Elliott won with a score of 32 to 28. Concerning this match, Ravel- 
rigg writes us as follows: "There was a strong wind from south- 
west, quartering in on the traps. Elliott had good luck in having 
Ihe dog retrieve his seventh bird, which took wing on the dog's 
approach, end was all but over the boundary fence. Graham 
had hard kick on his 28th bird. It struck the ground about 6ft. 
inside and bounded over the 2ft. wire fence, dead." 
Mr. C. H. Curtis, captain of the Dupont Gun Club, of Omaha, 
Neb., has been quite busily engaged of late in the interests of 
game protection. Under date of Aug. 24 he writes: "I have been 
up in northwestern Nebraska prosecuting market hunters. I did 
not have the best of luck, but have got that class of hunters pretty 
well scared out. You can bet we are doing all we can to stop 
them." The Dupont Gun Club has fixed upon Sept, 25, 26 and 27 
for its tournament. Mr. H. S. McDonald is the secretary. 
The fir,st annual outing. Leavenworth, Kan,, of Aerie No. 55 
F. O. E., will be held on Senator Stone's farm, Sent. 9. The 
shooting programme consists of twelve events, 15 targets each, 
$1..50 entrance. The average money for shooting through the 
programme is divided as follows: First, $5; second, $3; third, $2. 
Targets will be thrown free. The shoot is open to all. Convey- 
ances will meet each train. Mr. H. W. Koohler is the manager.

Capt. A. W. Money, of the E. C. & Schultze Powder Co., de- 
parted for the famous waters of Lake Okoboji last week. It is 
said that his son, Mr. Harold Money, will return with him, after 
which it is safe to expect that there will be a general shaking up 
of champions and championships in the East, for the young 
gentleman, when he hied Westward some months ago, was of the 
very best in skill at the traps.

There were five contestants for the Dewar cup at Interstate 
Park, Aug. 23. This is the third contest for this trophv, and as 
in the previous ones was won by Dr. Webber, he killing 24 out 
of 25 at the 30yd. mark. In view of his record for this trophy and 
the relative showing of his competitors it would seem to be' time 
that the skillful Doctor went back 1yd. 
In the twelve-men team contest of the Keystone Shooting 
League, of Philadelphia, and the Phcenix Gun Club, of Phoenix- 
ville. Pa., last week, the former was victorious by a score of 501 
to 458. Each man shot at 10 targets. This contest is the first of 
a series. 
Mr. E. C. Fort, captain of the gun club at Fremont. O.. writes 
us as follows: "Messrs. M. C. Sanford and E. C. Fort will shoot 
a match at 100 targets and 25 pairs on Sept. 4, for the champion- 
•ship of Sandusky county, and $25 a side and the gate receipts."

At Hot Springs.' 
Hot Springs, Ark., Aug. 23.— Trapshooting has been somewhat 
at a standstill for a few weeks past, owing to the extremely warm 
weather and the absence of several shooters. Interest seemed 
revived again to-day, and seven shooters faced the score. 
Mr. Norton, representing the Peters Cartridge Co.. made us a 
friendly call, and although he did not shoot in his usual form he 
did very good work. 
Considering our grounds, which are very hard, and that we throw 
very sharp angles, few strangers have made a creditable score 
over our traps. 
Williams usually gives a good account of himself at the score, 
but to-day he stubbed his toe in the last half. 
De Long worked hard for a straight, but on his last target, 
which was an easy one, he failed to break it. He will leave'to- 
roorrow for Lake Okoboji to participate in the Indian Wolf 
tourney. 
There is -sbTne talk afloat about giving another big shoot here 
this winter. If such should be the case, we will give the best shoot 
ever held here, and every one knows we usually give good ones.

The lowa^ Tottfnaments* 
Indian and Amateur Shoots at Okoboji Lake. 
One of the most important shooting meets of the summer, if 
not of the entire year, began this week at Arnold's Park, Okoboji, 
la. It must be borne in mind that, while these two tournaments 
are entirely distinct and under different managements, they arc 
really linked together as one — an amalgamation of the local ama- 
teurs and Budd-Gilbert shoots of other years. Preparations were 
made and work done jointly, but this week's enterprise, as such, 
was entirely in the hands of Messrs. Hinshaw brothers, of 
Okoboji, who deserve much credit for the vim and up-to-date 
business methods with which the event was carried out. In this 
connection", however, must not be overlooked the work of the 
genial Mr,_ F. C. Whitney, who as secretary and purser gave the 
utmost satisfaction, and left nothing to be desired, 
Okoboji Lake. 
It was indeed a happy coincidence that brought the Iowa 
amateur and Indian shoots together here at this time. Okoboji 
is a beautiful lake, in the garden spot of a peerless Western State. 
With an altitude of 1,900ft. above sea level, it is one of the highest 
points in Iowa; thirty miles long, chemically pure and teeming 
witli fish, it lies jeweled within a circle of low hills in the crater 
of a volcanic upheaval of the unknown ages of the world's history. 
A more pleasant and appropriate point for a midsummer tourney 
could be found nowhere in the midcontinental States — a state- 
ment borne out by the fact that last year's attendance was this 
year more than doubled. 
Arnold's Park is situated on this east shore of what Is known as 
the West Lake; it is of easy access by either the C, M. & St. P. 
or the Burlington railroad system, the latter requiring a picturesque 
six-mile drive over from Spirit Lake, and the indispensable con- 
veniences of post office and good hotel accommodations, Mr. 
W. _P>. Arnold, the genial proprietor, accorded the shooters a 
special rate, and placed everything at their disposal for the two 
weeks of the double tourney. 
How Targets "Were Thrown. 
It was the original idea of those two worthy Indians, Charley 
Budd and Fred Gilbert, to place the traps right out over the 
lake, so that any target thrown would be silhouetted against a back- 
ground of clear water, and the plan worked out to perfection. 
Two sets of expert traps were placed just in the edge of the lake, 
and targets, specially manufactured for the occasion, were hurled 
out 70yds. across the water. It made a very pleasant combination 
for shootin.g, but flights and angles were thrown somewhat into 
confusion by the reflection of the sun at different times, and 
scores were thereby more or less adversely alTected. Traps and 
targets were in the hands of the manufacturers' own repre- 
sentative.

Preliminary Sweeps. 
On Wednesday, Aug. 22, a short programme of seven pre- 
liminary sweeps was shot, Fred Gilbert making a run of 80 
straight, and losing but 2 targets. Fred has been practicing at 
shooting over the water, and the game was not so new to him 
as to most of the boys, who found the flights of the birds over 
the water rather deceptive. Some good general averages were 
made, however. 
First Day, Aug. 23. 
Everything was propitious on the opening dav. Just a light 
breeze 111 from the lake kept the air comfortable' and added zest 
to the shooting by occasionally whipping a target into an unex- 
pected ttirn. The targets were going about 60vds., but did not 
look so fast, and many of the boys, especially late comers, who 
Had missed the opportunity of previous practice, found the game 
anything but easy. 
Fred Gilbert sustained his first pace, losing but 4 in the pro- 
gTamme. Tom Marshall and Geo. Hughes came next with but 
^Z, and then came Budd and Crosbv with 13 skips each. The 
squad consisting of Neal, Marshall, Parmelee, Gilbert and Burn- 
side made another "record," scoring 75 straight in the last event 
oi the day. the scores follow:

A splendid silver cup donated by the management was shot for 
the last thing on the programme, and was won by Geo. Hughes, of 
londa, la., after a shoot-ofl: with Kline and Scheer. 
The Springfield (Mass.) G«n Club. 
Excellent weather conditions, beauitful grounds, good man- 
agement and a select gathering of shooters, all combined to make 
A all-day tournament of the Springfield, Mass., Shooting Club, 
Aug. a very enjoyable affair. Although only about twenty-five 
sliooters faced the magautrap, we have no hesitation in asserting 
that another meet, similarly conducted, will find double that num- 
ber ot the devotees of the sport on hand with guns and am- 
munition. *" 
Among the out-of-town shooters who participated were A VV 
btacy, the crack shot of Belchertown, Mass.; Messrs. Ray Nor- 
wood and Gibson, of Bellows Falls, Vt, ; Harvey, of Windsor 
Locks, Conn.; Fov/ler, of Westfieldd; Judson, Denison, Shearer, 
tucker Chapin and Crosby, of East Brookfield; Medico, of Am- 
herst; Manchester, of Munson; Downing, Bolt and Blarney, of 
Holyoke, and Gamwell, of Pittsfield. While not heavily repre- 
sented as regards numbers, the trade furnished a contingent not 
to be surpassed for genial good-fellowship, good shooting and solid 
worth, m the persons of Jack Fanning, of the Laflin & Rand 
lowder Co.; Mr. Hull, of Parker Brothers, and Capt. Bartlett, of 
the Marhn Fire Arms Co. v i,
