Review of Tournaments. 
The (oHowiftg is a review at its tournaments of 1!)00, issufid hy 
the Interstate Association : 
Though "good wine needs no bush," time-honored custom 
demands a brief resume of the Interstate Association's tenth 
season. 
Like its nine predecessors, it was an imqualified success, and 
we can only say that no signs of degeneration were perceptible. 
Interest was sustains--' to me maximum, and our programmes 
Were as enthusiastica '.7 carried out as in the day of small be- 
ginnings. ^ 
The Macedonian cry, "Gottie and help us!" is still heard m 
all parts of the land, and it comes from gun clubs composed of 
the right kind of material. As slated last year, these testimonials 
to the worth of our work are gratifying, and the burdens gladly 
assumed when practicable, but it is a confusing matter to decide 
which shall obtain prcfciencc among so many worthy and ap- 
preciative. Consistent with its entire history, the Interstate As- 
sociation will continue to work for What it considers best for all 
under the circumstances, and as in its bright lexicon of youth 
it knew no such word as "fail," neither has it yet obtained even 
an inkling that it will learn the meaning of decreptitude in its 
operations. 
Our growtli is not moss-grown, and the ever-expanding interest 
taken by outsiders indicates that we are the first nistitution 
of the kind in the world. The main elements contributing to our 
success have been the chivalrous devotion of members to the 
common weal, and not to selfish private interest, and to the 
judicions combination of democracy and aristocracy iri our make- 
up — democracy in putting every member on an original footing 
of equality, and aristocracy in cheerfully awarding the honors to 
those wlio were able to forge to the front. 
Year added to year has proven that our business methods are 
the best that liuman wisdom has been able to evolve, and though 
we .still invite honest criticism, we have not been presented with 
any plan that promises better or even equal results, nor arc 
there any indications that the scepter will depart from us. We 
■ arc still able to control our growing household and will be for an 
indefinite time. 
It is not considered necessary to go into detail here, as the 
record of 1000 is abundantly set forth elsewhere. 
Graad American Handicap at Live Birds. 
The inaugural tournament for 1900 was the eighth annua! Grand 
American liandicap at live birds, which was decided at Interstate 
I'ark, Queens, L. I., N. Y. Aim! 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. 'Ihe Interstate 
Association guaranteed $1,5()0 (and all surplus added) in the main 
even, which was shot nnder the following conditions, viz.: 25 
live birds $25 entrance, 50yds. boundary, with a dead line at the 
33yd. mark, handicaps ranging from 25 to 33yds., high gims to win 
and moneys to be divided in accordance with the number of 
entries received. 
In addition to guaranteeing $1,500, the Interstate Association 
XJresented to the winner of first place a sterling silver trophy 
commemorative of the win. 
The system of dividing the moneys which prevailed in 1896, 
1897, 1S98 and 1S99 was .uiopted again for 1900. The entries num- 
bered 224, of which number 196 were regular entries at $25 each, 
15 were penalty or po.st entries at $35 each, and 13 were forfeits 
at $10 each, making the total purse $5,555. The purse, under the 
system of division of moneys adopted by the Interstate Associa- 
tion, provided for 54 moneys. There were eight straight scores of 
25 made, which took the first eight moneys, a total of $2,513.75 
Twentj'-five tied on 24 out of 25 and took the next 25 monevs, a 
total of $2,189.70. Thirty-eight tied on 23 out of 25 and took the 
next 21 moneys, a total of_ $851.55. The eight men with straiglit 
scores of 25 shot off the tie, miss-and-out, for the silver trophy. 
This was won by Mr. H. D. Bates, of Ridgetown, Ontario, Can., 
cn the 36th round.

Grand American Handicap at Targets. 
The fourth tournament was the Interstate Association's Grand 
American Handicap Target Tournament, which was decided at 
Interstate Park, »ueens, L. I., M. Y., June 12, 13, 14 and 15. The 
Association added $1,000 to the purses, of which amount $100 was 
reserved to purchase a sterling silver trophy for the winner of 
first money in the Grand ..\merican Handicap at Targets. 
This tournament was more in the nature of an experiment than 
anything else, the idea being to arrange a programme that would 
bring together as many amateurs as possible, and also to pit 
against them, under a handicap of course, the best trapshooters in 
the country. A handicap committee of undoubted experience was 
selected, and the princij)af events were shot under the "high gun" 
rule, precisely the same as those in the Grand American Ilandicap 
at live birds. 
The rule of the Interstate AssocJatipu barring matitifactUrers' 
agents, paid representatives, etc., was in force in all the regular 
events; but in the handicap events amateurs and manufacturers' 
agents met in a free-for-all, handicapping being done by placing 
the men on different marks. This was the first time in the his- 
tory of trapshooting that handicapping by distance has been 
applied to any target tournament on a large scale. It has ap- 
parently taken the tancy of all who competed in the three separate 
handicap events, and seems to bid fair to grow in popularity the 
more it is tried.

Though the year has been one of unrest, notwithstanding the 
great material f)rosi)erity of the L'nitcd .States, and the oldest, 
proudest and mo.st exclusive kingdom of the world is tottering to 
a probable fall, and our own nation has been doing considerable 
bushwhacking among the isles of the sea; and though these 
complications added to a Presidential campaign have tended to 
stir a fever in the blood of many, we arc able to say that the 
present year has been one of the most glorious in our history as 
an organization, and there has not been a breath of contention to 
jar the harmony.

The Leading of Shotguns. 
The following reply to a query pertaining to it is wortli reading 
and noting. It appeared recently in the Tjondon Field: 
In order to enlighten our correspondent and others interested 
in the above subject, we have made a large number of experiments. 
Three 12-bore shot barrels, with highly polished bores were used, 
made of three different kinds of metal, viz., Krupp's special gun 
steel, Whitworth's fluid pressed steel, and a very soft steel made 
by the Siemens-Martin process. Both hard and soft shot wty-e 
used, with various kinds of wadding. The results of our trij!s 
may be summed up in a few words. The leading of gun barrels 
is caused entirely by the absence of a suitable lubricant. So long 
as the barrel is highly polished, it matters little of what metal it 
is composed. In the absence of a lubricant of proper consistency 
liard shot leads more than soft shot. Various lubricants were 
tested, their value for this purpose being in the following order: 
Mutton suet, Russian tallow, Webley's "Semper Idem," vaseline, 
almond oil and olive oil. 
Corroborative evidence of the above was obtained in the follow- 
ing manner: Two solid disks were turned up and their peripherics 
highly polished in the lathe. One of the disks was made of ■ 
crucible cast steel, the other of soft Bessemer. Bars of metal, 
made by melting and re-casting hard and soft respectively, 
were pressed alternately by means of a lever and weight against the 
peripheries of the rapidly revolving disks— the pressure employed 
being equal to two tons per square inch of the metals in contact. 
When the bar made from the hard shot was pressed against the 
unlubricated disk it was quickly ground away in the form of 
powder. The soft lead bar resisted this disintegration to a much 
greater extent. All the lubricants above enumerated were success- 
fully tested upon the disks, and their anti-friction qualities proved 
to be in the order stated. Whether using the hard or soft steel 
disks, no frictional difference could be detected. 
These results confirm us in the opinion, which we have so often 
expressed, that soft felt wadding saturated with grease should in- 
variably be used, in preference to the hard felt that is so generally 
employed. 
Clinton Bidwell Trophy, 
Buffalo, Oct. 24.— The final contest for permanent possession 
ot the handsome Clinton Bidwell live-bird trophy was comoleted 
on Oct. 20 at Audubon Park, Buffalo, N. Y., and the trophy,

won out. 
The birds were a first-class lot, and the shooting throughout was 
of a high class. There have been five open to all contests and 
fourteen challenge contests, besides the final contest, of which 
ii. C. Burkhardt won six, and made an average of 90 per cent for 
the entire series; F. G. Wheeler won five, R. C. Stacy two C S 
Burkhardt tw-o. H D Kirkover, Jr two, Geo. D. Cooper, 'W.' n!
