changed to Oct. 24. and 25. The tournament is given under the 
auspices of the North Carolina State Fair Association, and 
licld upon the State Fair grounds. The two days will be devoted 
tp targets. The State Fair Association, as well as the Peters 
Cartridge Co., and others interested, are sparing no pains to make 
this one of the most enjoyable shoots that has ever been held in 
the South. It will be managed by Mr. John Parker, and this fact 
in itself is enough to draw a large number of sportsmen from all 
over the Southeastern States. The State Fair Association has 
secured low rates of fare from all points in that territory. For 
programme apply to the Peters Cartridge Co., Cincinnati, O.. or 
Chas. H. Belvin, Jr., Raleigh, N. C." The company further advises 
us that, as it is found impiacticable to get a sufficient number of 
birds, the programme of the third day has been abandoned.

Messrs. Malone and Collins, the managers of the forthcoming 
Baltimore live-bird tournament, are exercising the greatest pains

mittee, and we are informed that several of them have accepted 
the invitation. The shoot takes place on Oct. 23, 24, 25 and

At the recent tournament at Hartford, Conn., Capt. Geo. E. 
Bartlett, of the Marlin Fire Arms Co., won high average, follow- 
ing it with a similar performance at the Branchville tournament, 
where he broke 95 out of 100 targets, and made a run of 52. He 
was accompanied by his wife, who is known on the stage as May 
Clinton, famous as an expert rifle and pistol shot, and who in the' 
shoots aforementioned was second, scoring 20 straight in one event 
and breaking ,S7 out of 100. She has only recently taken up trap- 
shooting, but handles her Marlin repeater like a veteran. 
The Crescent Athletic Club held its opening shoot of the season 
on Saturday of last week, and had a good attendance, considering 
that there are still so many of the summer sports to engage the 
attention of the members. Dr. Henry L. O'Brien scored the 
victory for the October cup. The conditions governing the cups 
are handicap, 25 targets over expert traps and 25 over a magautrap 
allowances added as breaks, handicaps to be changed each montli.'

Bay Ridge, L. I., Oct. 6.— The opening of the shooting season 
of the Crescent Athletic Club evoked great interest, and there was 
a goodly attendance of spectators to watch the shooters. The 
main interest centered in the contest for the October cup, which 
was won by Dr. H. L. O'Brien with a score of 46, 7 of which 
was a handicap allowance. Edward Banks, Bcratch, was close up 
with 44, as also were C. Kenyon, Jr., and J. H. Haliock with an 
equal score. 
The committee, Messrs. Townsend, Sanies and Higgins, were on

L. T, "Davenport'* vs. S. M. Van Allen. 
Interstate Park, L. L, Oct. 6.— A match of exceeding interest 
was shot to-day at Interstate Park, L. I., between Messrs. L. T. 
Davenport, of Brookljm, and S. M. Van Allen, of Jamaica, L. I., 
at 100 live birds. 20yds. rise. The former won by the excellent 
score of 95 to 89. Davenport's 5th was a difiRcult driver. His 16th, 
17th. 19th. 20th and 21st were hot drivers, well killed. His 15th 
m the second 25 was hard hit, and died out. In his third 25 he 
had six very difficult drivers, but made the 25 with a clean score. 
He had lost but two in his first 75, but in his last 25 he lost three 
more, and ended with a good score notwithstanding. 
The luck of the draw ran about alike for each in the first 25, 
Van Allen losing his 18th dead out. In the second 25 his 29th 
and 30th, left drivers, were fast birds, as also were his 42d, a driver, 
and his 46th, a twisting left driver. In his third 25 he lost five, 
of which three were dead out, and the race was then practically 
decided. . 
Mr. T. W. iMorfey acted as referee.

Chicago, Oct. 6.— The appended scores were made to-day on our

Weather conditions were decidedly unfavorable, it keeping up a 
constant drizzle of ram and a strong south wind directly across the 
traps all afternoon. 
The birds were not very quick to take wing, but when once 
started were a fast lot. 
The attendance was not as large as usual, but was good, consid-
