IB 
A strange thing has happened— at least it is strange from the 
shooter s point of view, whatever it may be from the golfer's. 
Mr. Ld ward Banks and Mr. C. M. Lincoln, manager of Inler.state 
lark, were proceeding Interstate shootward to Salem, N. 
Ihey were discussing guns while on the boat, when Mr. Banks so 
the story goes, told Mr. Lincoln to wait a bit and he would il- • 
lustrate the point by showing his own gun. He produced the 
famous old case, and prilled out— a golf stick! There was no 
gun. He had forgotten it. This will explain something in the 
way of the first day's scores at the Interstate tournament. The 
scores are published elsewhere in our columns. A strange gun 
and a hurricane and a golf stick do not produce good target'scores. 
_ The Colt Gun Club, Hartford, Conn., announces Sept. 27 as the 
aate of its annual tournament. Its ne.xt medal and prize shoot will 
be held on the 22d inst., and two more shoots will determine the 
ownership of the prizes. Its tournament is open to all. There are

Referring to the forthcoming live-bird shoot given by Messrs. H. 
P. Collins and J. R. Malone, Oct. 23 to 25, the latter writes us as 
follows: "The Dupont Cup will be shot for in open competition 
at 25 birds, $25 entrance^ $500 guaranteed, and all surplus added; 
handicaps 25 to 32yds. This should make a very attractive shoot, ' 
as it is the first time the Dupont cup has ever been offered in ' 
an open event in the South or East since it was first won by Mr. 
Fred Gilbert, in Baltimore, Oct. 25, 1895. Programmes will be 
ready by Oct. 1." This should be noted by all the great army of 
shooters who desire a good programme with good competition. 
Paste the dates in your hat.

The Pickaway Rod and Gun Club, of Circleville, O., has sent 
out a notice to shooters as follows: "We will have our fall 
tournament at targets and live birds Oct. 10 and 11, and would 
like very much to have you with us. Our shoot last fall was a 
success in every way — at least we think so, using 7,870 targets and 
940 live pigeons in the two days, The ladies will try and have as 
good dinners as before. All will do their best to show you a 
good time. Programme will be mailed you later." 
The organization of the Newport Gun Club, Newport, Vt., took 
place recently on somewhat novel hut sound lines, inasmuch as all 
shooting or betting for iiuiney is prohibited. This is the true 
theory on which to start a club whose membership is wholly or in 
a large part composed of novices. It is much , better for the, 
novice to refrain from .shooling for money till he learns how ttf' 
shoot for nothing. If he cannot shoot well for nothing, he is 
much less likely to shoot well for something.

The second annual tooth tournament and clambake of the 
Brooklyn Gun Club is announced to take place on Sept. 9, com- 
mencing at 5:30 P. M. It will be held at Interstate Park, Queens, 
L. I. The former tooth tournament was such a pronounced suc- 
cess that a large number of entries is expected. High averages 
will have special attention. The general opinion is thai the con- 
testants will not make a miss in the entire programme.
