FOREST AND STREAM. 
Erie Rod and Gun CIub« 
Erie, Pa., Sept. 28.— The fir.st annual toiiMiatnent of the Eric 
City Rod and Gun Club terminated to-day, and was pronounced by 
all present to be a compiete success;. The attendance was not 
large^ but a hiore enthusiastic and gentlefnalily lot of sportsmen 
it has never been hiy good fortune to tneet at one gathering be- 
fore. They were rnostly gentlemen who shoot for the love of the 
sport, and come out on all occasions of this kind, bent on having 
a pleasant time, and I am stire are never disappointed. 
Among the visitors present frohi a distance were J. S. Fanning, 
of New York, representing the Laflin & Rand Powder Co.; W. B. 
Crosby, of O'Fallon, HI., with the Hunter's Arms Co.; Jack Hallo' 
well, of Philadelphia representing the U. M. C. Co.; Eugene 
Mallory, of Sistersville, W. Va.,; H. D. Kirkover, Fredonia, J*. 
Y.; Chas. North, J. D. Morris and F. H. Snow, of Cleveland, O.; 
Howard Sergeant, sales agent for L. & R. powder; L. B. 
Fleming, W. D. Harper and J. C. Taylor (Pills), of Pittsburg; 
H. P. Shaner and Jas. Atkinson, New Castle, Pa.; J. A. McNory, 
Greenville; W. D. Taylor and H. R. Nye, of Sharon; S. W. 
Prown, of Butler, and John Dooley, of Conneaut, O. 
On the morning of the first day rain fell in torrents, but ceased 
at 9 o'clock. Dark clouds covered the sky all day long, however, 
making the light very bad; but as no wind prevailed to interfere 
with the flight of the targets this drawback did not affect the 
scores to any great extent. W. B. Crosby carried off high average 
on this day with 165 out of 170, his highest ran being SI. Jack 
Fanning was second with 162 out of 170, with one run of 78. E. 
B. Fleming, of Philadelphia, was third with 160, and Jas. 
Atkinson, of New Castle, fourth with 157 out of 170. 
The second day could not have been more perfect for trap- 
shooting if made to order. The sun came out early and continued 
bright and warm throughout the day. A slight breeze came from 
the lake sufficient only to temper the warm rays of Old Sol and 
assist in making this one of those ideal balmy September days 
for which this section is noted. On this day, as the scores will 
show, some phenomenal shooting was done, not only by the pro- 
fessionals, but by our Simon-pure amateurs, several of which 
ranked above 95 per cent. Jimmie Atkinson, of New Castle, scored 
90; out of his first 100, and Harry Kirkover, of Fredonia, ran 99 
mit of his last 100 shot at. Billy Crosby again carried off high 
average on the second day with 168 out of 170. James Atkinson, 
of New Castle, was second with 167. J. S. Fanning was third 
with 166. H. D. Kirkover was fourth with 163 out of 170. The 
prettiest shooting of the two days was witnessed in the tenth 
event, the last of the programme, when the squad composed of 
Fanning, Kirkover, Crosby, Fleming and Hallowell scored 99 out 
of 100, Crosby losing the one target, which was liard dusted. 
A pleasant feature of the tournament w-as the consistent shooting 
of the local boys, especially Dr. Strangway, Will Leyer, Olic 
Riblet and Seth Clover. There were thirty-four entries on each 
day. After the regular programme was finished extra events were 
shot until it was too late to continue the sport. 
The targets were thrown from a magautrap, which worked to 
perfection. All purses were divided by the Rose system, S, 6, 4, 
2, except events 4 and 10 of each day, which were class shooting, 
four moneys, 40, 30, 20 and 10. 
The cashier's office was well taken care of by Chas. Van Etten 
and Geo. Blenner. The management was ably assisted by those 
two experienced and poptilar gentlemen, Charley North, of Cleve- 
land, and Howard Sergeant, of Pittsburg. This was the first 
effort of the new gun club, and they are so well pleased with the 
outcome that already the members are discussing plans for a more 
elaborate tournament at targets and live birds next spring.

Heifces Diamond Medal. 
BOOKV. 
Dayton, O., Oct. 1.— A distressing incident occurred at the eighth 
/Ti the series of weekly shoots for the Heikes diamond medal 
on the Buckeye Gun Club gro\inds Friday. Andrew M. Muinma 
one of the best among amateiu- trapshooters of Ohio, had shot iti 
two matches of 25 targets each, scoring 20 and 23, when Harry 
Dill remarked to him, "Andy, you are becoming very pale -'are 
vou sick?" "No," was the response: "I never felt better in my 
life, but my eyes seem wabbly and 1 don"t see good." Andy 
bathed his eyes, and showing signs of distress sat down just as 
Dr. Salisbury, who was in the match, came to his aid. Andv was 
at that moment stricken with paralysis, his brain and entire 
fight side being affected. The sufferer was taken home in the 
ambwlance, was reheved of distress, and has recovered strength 
of mind and use of limbs, so that physicians say he will recover 
entirely. 
The incident stopped the shoot, and the committee declared all 
scores off, postponing the contest until Friday of this week. The 
scores up to the moment of interruption stood: 
First match: Mumma 20, Miller 23, Wampler 20, Herbert 18, 
Emerick 21, Dill 19, Lindemuth 21, Craig 17, Altick 19, Ponice 14, 
Schwind 18, Tippy 14. 
Second match: Mumma 21, Miller 23. Wampler 17, Herbert 20, 
Lindemuth 16, Ponice 16, Tippy 13. 
In a match at 10 pairs Miller broke 13, Altick 12, Wampler 8, 
Herbert 7, Schwind 6. 
During the afternoon Miller broke 133 out of 150, Herbert 114, 
Wampler 112.

Zinesville Tournament. 
Zanesville, O- Sept. 24,— The annual tournament of the Zanes- 
ville, O., Gun Club was held Sept. 19 and 20 at the County 
Fair grounds, which were ideal ones for the purpose, being 
large and commodious, with ample seating capacity and shelter 
from sun and rain. The numerous tents erected by the different 
dubs present were very tastefully arranged. In the foreground 
appeared one m,Hgautrap and two sets of expert traps, and with 
three squads up an ideal picture was presented, and so beautifully 
set that even old professional tournament rounders and experts 
loudJy expressed their admiration. The management under the 
direction of Mr. Geo. R. Haswell, of Circleville, O., was almost 
perfect. The shooting as a whole was high class; in fact, every 
one was so well pleased that he could not help but be jolly, 
which made it pleasant to all; 19,000 targets were thrown the first 
day, and 6,000 the second, rain interfering greatly the second day. 
From the register it was ascertained there were 112 different 
marksmen present during the two days, 86 being booked at one 
time, the most notable, being Rolla O. Heikes, R. L. Trimble, 
Frank Alkire, Luther Squires, R. S. Waddeil, Tom Bibbee, C. O. 
Smith. T. Mowrey, D. Smith, Barber. Young, Ward. Bair, French, 
Purbaugh, Ed and Tad Shafer. and the celebrated Sistersville, W. 
Va., team, consisting of T. E. Mallory, S. T. Mallory, Ed O. Bower 
(Dade), J. F. Mallory and W. Smith, and ninety-five lesser lights. 
Of the shooting in general too much cannot be said, but no 
matter how excellent, that of the Sistersville team as a whole 
stands out boldly and clear as par-excellent, T. E. Mallory stand- 
ing at the head with the high average of .936, and W. Smith with 
.884 the lowe.st. the five having made a general average of .912. 
Heikes, Trimble, Squires and Alkire standing at 21yds. made the 
following averages the first day, which were considered good, as 
the targets were thrown fully 70yds: Heikes 79, Trimble 88, 
Squires 84, /Vlkire 86. The following day these experts at 16yds. 
made the following averages: Heikes 88, Trimble 89, Squires 89, 
Alkire 94. 
The tournament financially was closed up with promptness and 
dispatch, and left a goodly sum on the right side of the ledger.

Mississippi Valley Notes* 
The Lewistown Gun Club members held a very enjoyable com- 
petitive medal shoot on Sept. 21. R. E. Griffitli and H. W. 
Masters chose ten men each, and it was agreed that the captain 
of winning team purchase a medal. The score, however, resulted 
in a draw, and will be shot off in another match. The average 
for the twenty contestants was but a fraction short of 69 per cent., 
which is a very good showing indeed. The boys are shooting 
regularly once a week, and taking a lively interest. Scores follow:

Piasa Gun Club. 
In the Piasa Gun Club competition, Sept. 22, E. M. Gaddis a 
nevv member, won the W. C. Co. handicap medal on 30 straight 
^- -^'^^^ t'^<^ president's medal on a score of 45 out 
or oO. 
Lewistown Gun Club. 
Below are the scores of the team shoot of our club, held on our 
grounds, Friday afternoon, Sept. 28. 
1 he affair was of unusual interest locally on account of the shoot 
a week previous, when the same teams shot a race and tied the 
scores being 171 each. 
While the boys did not score quite as high this time— for quite 
good reasons, too, in most cases— yet, taken as a club, the scores 
are all right. (jriJhth s team won out on the score of 160 to 
Master's team's 347. <= oi awj to 
As a result of this shoot the club will have a fine handicap medal 
bers losing team, to be competed for by club mem- 
The club already has a gold medal for the best score, but this 
iiandicap medal gives every member a chance to win 
ihe Club has leased new grounds, consisting of three acres, and 
will fence It, build a club nouse, score sheds, and put in live-bird 
traps, the traps will face northeast and have a fine open back- 
ground, with nothing to interfere with the view of the targets 
Ihis club cannot be beaten for membership and interest con- 
sidering the size of the town. It has been organized for 'seven 
years, and has kept interest pretty lively during that time 
visiting sportsmen are made welcome. 
The success of the club is largely attributable to the fact that 
m practice shoots the members shoot for targets onlv and do not 
have any purses, which will discourage the new members quicker 
than anything and cause them to drop out quicser 
Secretary McCumber announces a one-day target tournament to 
be given some time next month. 
The scores: 
Team No. 1— R. E. Griffith 17, L. Gray 23 C V r,rn-it if; 
H. H. McCumber 22 ,VV. , C Purdy 14, Ja's. Irundale S°S H
