John Parke/s Toufuament,

tenth annual international tournament, held on the Rusch House 
grounds on Sept. 11, 12, 13 and 14. Two large tents aftorded shelter 
for the shooters, and all the equipments of traps, etc., were m 
complete readiness for the activities of the competition. Bluerocks 
and live birds were in ample supply, and everything was organized 
to . work smoothly from .start to finish, as is the rule under John 
Parker's able ani popular inanagement. 
There were many ol the famous shots present, as a glance at the 
scores will show. 
First Day» Sept. I J. 
There was a high wind blowing across the traps, adding greatly 
to the difficulty of the shooting. 
The Peters Cartridge Co.'s trophy was won by Mr. S. A. Crowell, 
of Hastings, Mich. As a testimonial of appreciation of his valu- 
■ able services in promoting the tournament, Mr. John Parker 
presented Mr. Paul Weise a beautiful cigar case.

Illinois Gun Club. 
Springfield, 111.— The regular weekly trophy shoot of the Illinois 
Gun Club occurred on Thursday, Sept. 20, with about sixteen 
members present. A high wind swept across the traps, making the 
targets very erratic in their flight, and the" general scores suffered 
somewhat in consequence. 
Chas. T. Stickle and Arnold W. Butler tied in Class A on 
scores of 23. 
George E. Day won in Class B on a score of 18, and U. G. 
Moore in Ciass C on a score of 13. 
Appended are the scores in full: 
Class A: Stickle 23, Butler 23, Hall 22, Capt. Smith 21, J. 
Klingensmith 17. 
Class B: Day 18, Dr. Kerr 17, Richardson 17, Lamoreaux 12,

Chas. T. Sticki-e, Sec'y. 
Garfield Gun Club. 
Chicago, Sept. 22. — Tke following scores were made on our 
grounds to-day on the occasion of the twenty-first trophy shoot of 
the season. 
Dr. Shaw won Class A medal on 24, W. P. Northcott won Class 
B on 22, and J. D. Pollard won Class C on 21. 
The weather was ideal for trapshooting, so far as temperature 
and wind were concerned, but there was a peculiar haziness of the 
atmosphere which seemed to trouble some of the shooters. Mr. 
Rhodes, who is president of the Sherman Rod and Gun Club, of 
Columbus, O., was a visitor. He said he came out to see how it 
was done, but proceeded to show how he did it, and broke 25 
straight in trophy event. Come again, Rhodic.

Cincinnati, O., .Sept. 22. — Editor Forest and Stream: Will you 
please make the announcement that the Peters Cartridge Co., under 
the auspices of the Montgomery Gun Club, will hold a two days' 
tournament at Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 16 and 17; added money. 
Jack Parker, manager. 
T. H. McKiBBEN, Sec'y. 
Savannah, Ga., Sept. 22. — Editor Forest and Stream: Will you 
kindly announce in Forest and Stream the fact that the Peters 
Cartridge Co., of Cincinnati, will give a two days' tournament, 
Oct. 29 and 30, at Jacksonville, Fla., under the auspices of 
the Jacksonville Gun Club. 
The first two days will be devoted to targets; $100 will be 
added each day to the programme. On the 31st, or third day, 
there will be a grand pigeon match. This will be given ex- 
clusively by the gun club. 
There will be at least 1,200 pigeons. 
Full programme will follow later. The shoot will be under the 
managerrient of Mr. John Parker, of the' Peters Cartridge Co., 
which is in itself a guarantee of success. 
Any information will be gladly furnished by Mr. Parker, 465 
Junction avenue, Detroit, Mich.; Mr. T. H. Keller, 80 Chambers 
street. New York, or by yours truly, 
_ H. B. Lemcke, 
Southeastern Representative Peters Cartridge Co. 
Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club. 
San Francisco, Sept. 16.— The Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club 
shoot did not have its usual good attendance, owing to the 
German shoot at San Rafael. Pape went over to win the kingship, 
and he did it; at the same time he broke the 200-shot point target 
record, making .388, or 15 points better than Will Hayes, of New 
Jersey. Mannel and Daiss went with him and looked after his 
interests. Pape shot his .32-40 Pope Winchester, using my load 
of King's Semi-Smokeless powder. Pie wins diamond medal, also 
prize for most points, and made 70 on 3-shot target. Daiss got 68 
in one ticket, on the 3-shot target. The boys came home pleased, 
and so was I, as I knew Pape could do the trick if he could shoot 
undisturbed on a good day, which it proved to be. Mannel and 
Daiss loaded his shells, and he shot very rapidly, finishing nearly 
100 shots ahead of the others. Pape literally shot on a Columbia 
12in. black, as he knows now by the disk on a 12in. black the 
relative measurement by Columbia count, which is an advantage 
not fully understood by marksmen. 
Dr. B. H. Foreman, who knocked out some of the coast 
records on German target recently, has gone to Chicago for a 
long course in medicine. He did his preliminary practice on the 
Columbia target, and joined this club recently. We had looked 
forward with pleasure to the time when he would shoot with 
us, and are disappointed. Our best wishes go with him. He will 
find plenty of companions among the Chicago shooting fraternity 
who will no doubt appreciate his fine shooting as much as we do. 
Mr. Albert M. Divall, of the Tuolumne Rifle Club, o£ Sonora, 
Cal.„ and Mr. Geo. W. Jordan, of Boston, were among the many 
visitors at our shoot to-day. Mr. Jordan is recently from South 
America. He had a fine three-barreled Daily with him, the rifle 
barrel being .32-20. Pie tried the Winchester .30-30 miniature bul- 
let with Semi-Smokeless-, primed with King's Smokeless, at 50yds'., 
and had no trouble, using telescope in keeping most 01 his shots 
in the 1-ring at rest. 
Young carried off the honors with rifle, pistol and revolver.- Tt 
was difficult shooting at 50yds., but his 200yd. rifle work was the 
best of the season for average. He placed 29 consecutive in the 
7in. ring, and his score of 41 in the 6-ring. • Mr. Divall spotted 9 
of the latter shots in a Sin. ring at 11 and 12 o'clock; the 10th shot 
being held low pjurposely struck the 6-ring at 6 o'clock. 
Dr. Twist led in the .22 rifle contest, with Mrs. Waltham close 
by. Her score of 24 has never been equaled, 
Becker made his .30-30 carbine hold in for a 45 Creedmoor 
again. Young offered him 20 points on this score at the first of the 
year, and will have to do some fine work if he wins, as Becker 
has nearly a 46 Creedmoor average now.-

Sept 17.— At the final shoot to-dtiy of the German Club at San 
Rafael, Pape won first place in the 3-shot match with 73, 71, 70, 70 
out of possible 75. I should have stated that in his 200-shot record 
on the point target of 388 he only missed the 12in. black twice, 
both shots being accidents, and going off into the ground. 
Our club has a banquet outlined for him in honor of his record. 
Another of our members, Dr. Henry Trask, has made a record 
or two also. First he married a very estimable young lady \yho 
delights in shooting, and they spent their honeymoon in the wilds 
of Mendocino county. Second, the Doctor killed seven deer, 
four of which he downed in less than a minute's time. He used 
a .30-30 Winchester and soft-nosed bullets. The bucks were all 
inside of 50yds. distance. « , ^ , ^, ~
