[May 4, xsoi. 
Peters Cartfidgfe Company Tottrnament at 
Olathe, Kan. 
It is not an uncommon thing for the shooters to meet at various 
places throughout the' United Stales, there to proceed tp murder 
the "mud pies" under the auspices of the Peters Cartridge Com- 
pany. It is their rule to have one of the traveling men as man- 
ager, and they selected for this event the genial Tom Norton. 
Now Tom has been camjjing around these ere ,diggin's for several 
moons, and his long residence in Kansas City cavises him to be 
well known. He was therefore the proper mart for the place. 
Then, as he felt the need of a lieutenant, he selected Frank Hodges, 
who had lately been re-elected mayor — and a great team they made. 
The programme called for the good thing of $150 added money, 
open only to amateurs; traveling salesmen barred; purses divided 
Rose system; five moneys; gold medal to the highest average for 
both days. 
With such a showing open it is hardly neciessary to call th, mind 
that a good crowd of the best amateurs were found on the club 
ground south of the city at 9 A. M. Tuesday morning. The weather 
conditibns were perfect — Sun bright, and just a little wind slightly 
across the score — so this made good scores obtainable without 
great effort. 
Two sets of expert traps were used, Sergeant system, witli traps 
set to known angles, and as the maker of the targets and the 
electric pull was present and assisted the manageinent, everything 
passed off in the best of style and withotit a hitch. 
The writer has seen so many target tournaments Where there 
were complaints of unfairness that he pauses here long enough to 
point out that tlie known angle is the best yet tried. This means 
to set the tliree traps stationary and keep the same angle and 
height all day without change. This all shoot as the nearest 
possible to an equal change in flights. 
Those present came from several States, and many of the names 
herewith are often seen in print; yet the most of them were 
probably never before mentioned, viz.: From Kansas Citv Mo.— 
H. E. Sherman, W. M. Howe, J. E. Mcllrevy, C. D. 'Snyder, 
C. E. Wright, Chris Gottlieb, Tom Norton; from Gardner, Kan. — 
H. B. Foster, E. E. Armstrong, J. A. Marshall; from Faola— 
Thos. J. Curamings, A. D. Taylor; from Olathe— G. D. Hendrix, 
Charles Randall, Ed Collins, Mert. Newhart, Sam Ferguson, Wm. 
Walter, Hare Dent, Lone Theile, Lon Thompson, Wm. Lem- 
mpn, Frank Hodges, L. D. Thompson, C. H. Blackburn; from 
Lincoln, Neb. — C. D. Linderman, J. Morse Rau, J. E. Kilbrick; 
Rich Hill, Mo. — W. C. Gresham; Concordia, Kan. — W, H. Heer; 
Panama, Mo.— J. D. Gilkay; Lamar, Mo.— A. M. McCrea; Fair- 
play, Mo. — J. W. Akard: Omaha — Hump Parmelee; St. Louis — 
Chas. Spencer; Chicago — Tramp Irwin. 
There is generally something about a shooting tournament that 
a writer for the press may mention as a matter of education and 
enlightenment- to the readers. In this connection I will note 
that the traps were set to throw rfouth. Considering that the whole 
State of Kansas is good country, and nothing to prevent setting 
traps to face as desired there, I say shooters have a right to insist 
that targets on all occasions be thrown north, northeast or east. 
After the programme had been finished. Mayor Hodges had 
carriages in waiting to carry the shooters about town, and nearly 
all in attendance availed themselves of the opportunity. An hour 
was spent whirling along the beautiful streets, made n^t>re lovely 
by the aroma from the peach blossoms fioating on the gentle 
breezes. 
Mr. Hodges is already setting his plans for the next year's State 
shoot, and will purchase some ground facing north, and before the 
year end's will hang up .fSOO, open to the world, for a distance 
handicap target tournament. 
The shooting fraternity should at once get their heads set on 
coming here, as this shoot will be the real thing.

Second Day, Aptil 24. 
The morning sun came out in all his glory, but by 10 o'clock 
hazy clouds were beginning to rise, and before noon a few drops 
of rain fell; but it was our good fortune to have the rain pass 
by, and the day was a fairly good one for ^ target shooting— 
although there was something wrong with the light, as the scores 
made to-day were for the most part not up to the average. As 
is usually the case, there were not so many shooters present as on 
the first day. Most of those present, though, shot through all 
the events. 
Taking Linderman's score yesterday, he missed only 8, and to- 
day 18, making a total of 26 lost in two da\'s' shooting, 350 targets. 
He won the gold medal for the highest average. 
He was very closely pressed by Harry Koohler. At the start of 
the last event of 25 targets they were tied. Koohler dropped 2 
out of his first 4 and then ran out straight. But there was old 
steady Dick, pegging away, and he never did miss, and Jap 
went 25 straight. Jap made such a great struggle that it was a 
pity that there was not a second prize of some kind. Lou 
Erhardt and Frank Parmelee were going neck and neck, and 
landed in the same hole with 16 goose eggs each. O'Brien fell 
only 1 short, and was just 1 ahead of Spencer. Pleer came along 
pretty regularly, and lost but 20. 
Altogether the shoot was a great suecess-j-not financially, how- 
ever, but the shooters appreciate the grace with which Mr. Norton 
went down in his pocket and put up the $150 added money. 
The traps worked good to-day, and the targets' were harder than 
yesterday, having more speed and consequently a more steady 
flight. 
Everybody made Tom Norton and Mayor Hodges understand 
that he appreciated their efforts put forth on this occasion. The 
Peters people made many friends, the only regret being that 
there were not enough shooters present to run two sets of traps.

Peters Czttxidge Company Tournament at 
Chattanooga, Tenn* 
Chattanooga, Tenn.— The tournament given here by the Peters 
Cartridge Company April 23 and 24, under the auspices of the 
Chattanooga Trapshooters' Club was a success when you consider 
the weather to be contended with. On preliminary day it rained 
ah day, and for a week before the shoot it rained and snowed all 
around the country. This fact, no doubt, kept a good many away, 
but those who were here enjoyed themselves and seemed very well 
satisfied. Mackie is surely a man that can run a shoot, as there 
was not a kick or squabble, except from the magautrap; it of 
course kicked once in a while. 
The first day opened up cloudy, and then toward noon cleared 
off, endmg up with a fine and an ideal shooting day. 
Walter VV. Cureton, of Chattanooga, was in the lead by 3 
bn-ds; Leglcr, of Nashville, second, with Baker, of Griffin, Ga.. 
thn-d, 6 birds behind. 
The second day was a beautiful one, and more of the boys showed 
up, due to the conditions of the weather. Cureton still stayed 
m the lead, winning the gold charm donated by the Peters Car- 
tridge Company. Legler and Baker tied for second average. 
Jk. L. Trimble, of Covington, won first average, but of course, 
being a manufacturers' representative, shot for targets only. 
John E. Avery, of Atlanta, the company's representative, was here 
and shot a good race, ending with fourth average. 
After presenting the medal to the winner, Mr. Mackie thanked 
those m attendance for coming; also Caption for his assistance. 
The tournament was a success in every way but attendance, and 
the sportsmen who took part seemed to be very much pleased with 
the result. It was strictly an amateur shoot, and some very fine 
records w^re made in the two days. The scores:

Trap Around Reading:* 
Reading, Pa., April 13.— Nearly 3,000 targets were thrown to- 
day in the target shoot held under the auspices of the Spring 
Valley Shooting Association, of this city. Sportsmen were" present 
from all parts of this section of the State, and an enjoyable day 
was had by all. The tournament was the first ever held by this 
association, and the tournament committee deserve great credit 
for their earnest work in making the shoot a success. Secretary 
A. A. Fink had charge of the shoot, and kept hustling from 
10 A. M. until 6 P. M., when darkness set in and put an end to all 
shooting. The shoot was a grand success, and the attendance of 
out-of-town shooters very large, while the local shooters were 
fairly well represented. The principal event of the day was the 
shoot for the individual target championship of Berks county, and 
the Reading Eagle challenge trophy, valued at $75. Lee Wertz, 
captain of the Spring Valley Association, won by breaking 39 out 
of 50 targets, while Jack Shaaber, of the same association, was 
second with 38 to his credit. 
In the sweepstake events the scores were very good, and all 
events were very exciting. 
In the merchandise event. No. 3, Tack won the leather gun case 
donated by J, H. Obold & Co.; R. E. Parker, of Carlisle, Pa., 
won the leather shell case donated by HufT Brothers; Geo. Ritter 
won the Schultze powder donated by Von Lengerke & Detmold, 
of New York, and Benner wort a fine bottle of whi.sky donated by 
John A. Esterly. 
The scores in the individual championship and Reading E^gle 
trophv event, 50 targets per man, were as follows: Wertz 39, Jack

Low-Rate Summer Tours to the Pacific Coast and Moun- 
tains of the Canadian Northwest, via the 
Pennsylvania Railroad. 
Ik view of the extremely Io\y rates authorized by the various 
transcontinental lines on account of the International Conference 
of the Epworth League at San Francisco in July next, the 
Pennsylvania Railroad Company announces a thirty-day tour 
across the Continent, leaving New York, Newark, Philadelphia, 
baltimore, Washington, and other stations on its lines east of 
Pittsburg, on Monday, July 8, returning to New York Tuesday, 
Aug. 6. - J J 
The route will include stops at all the really important points for 
rest and sightseeing, among them being Chicago, Omaha, Denver, 
Colorado Springs, Glenwood Springs (with a daylight ride through 
the Rocky Mountains, including the Royal Gorge and Grand 
Canon of the Arkansas), and at Salt Lake City, arriving at San 
Francisco 10 A. M., Tuesdavj July 16, before the convention opens, 
bix days will be allotted to San Francisco, for which time no hotel 
accommodations or other features will be included in the tickets. 
Leaving San Francisco Monday morning, July 22. Monterey, Santa 
Barbara, and Los Angeles will be visited, all traveling over the 
new Coast Line of the Southern Pacific Company being done by 
daylight, in order to view what is reputed to be the most attractive 
scenery in California. Leaving Los Angeles, San Jose will be 
visited, thence Portland, with two days' stop, after which will come 
the crowning feature of the tour, the journey homeward via the 
Canadian Pacific Railway through the unrivaled mountains of 
British Columbia. 
The schedule over the Canadian Pacific Railway will be pre- 
pared with especial care, and the train sidetracked at nights where 
necessarj', in order that no part of this delightful feature may 
be missed by night traveling. This in itself is a rare opportunity. 
In addition, stops will be made at Banff Hot Springs and St. 
Paul. 
The tourists will travel in the highest grade of Pullman equip- 
ment, and the special train will be composed of vestibuled dining 
car, sleeping cars, and an observation car. The latter car will be 
similar to those used on the famous Pennsylvania Limited. 
With the exception of the time devoted to San Francisco, pas- 
sengers will be located on the special train during the entire tour. 
Breakfast, luncheon and dinner will be provided in the dining 
car while en route, and when sidetracked at the various places 
visited. Our patrons will therefore avoid the expense of high- 
priced hostelries, the hurry and annoyance of meal stations, and 
the unsatisfactory accommodations afforded by inferior hotels. 
A thoioughly experienced tourist agent and a chaperon will 
accompany the party, and in fact the entire tour will be conducted 
under the same careful management that has made the "Pennsyl- 
vania Tours" world famous. 
The total rate for entire trip as outlined above, covering one 
double berth and all meals in dining car, from New York, Phila- 
delphia, Baltimore, Washington, Harrisburg, Altoona, and points 
on the Pennsylvania Railroad east of Pittsburg, will be $188.50; 
two persons in a berth, each $168.50. 
Rate, going with the main party, with Pullman berth and meals 
up to arrival at San Francisco, returning from San Francisco 
independently by any direct route, with transportation only on 
return trip, $118.10; two persons in a berth, each $108.10. 
Rate, transportation, Pullman berth, and meals on special train 
to San Francisco, with transportation only returning indepen- 
dently via Portland and Northern Pacific Railway, or Canadian 
Pacific Railway and St. Paul, until Aug. 31, $127.10; two in a 
berth, each $117.10. This route will especially appeal to those who 
desire to visit Yellowstone Park on their return journey. The 
tickets admit of stop over at Livingston, at which point a ticket 
covering five and one-half days' hotel accomniodations, with stage 
transportation through Yellowstone Park, may be purchased for 
$49.50. 
Rate, covering same as preceding trip up to San Francisco, with 
transportation only returning independently via Los Angeles, San 
Francisco, Portland, and Canadian Pacific or Northern Pacific and 
St. Paul, $131.60; two in a berth, each $121.60. 
Rates from Pittsburg, $5 less than above figures. 
For the information of those who desire to travel independently 
after arrival at San Francisco, it should be noted that tickets 
permit stop off within limit of Aug. 31, at and west of Denver, 
Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Colo., and west of St. Paul. Stop-over 
will also be allowed until Aung. 31, at Niagara Falls and Buffalo, 
for Pan-American Exposition, on tickets reading through those 
points. 
Descriptive booklet will shortly be issued, giving the schedule 
and further details. Diagrams are now open, and as the number 
who can be accommodated will be strictly limited, names should 
be registered immediately.

The very handsome catalogue of more than 150 pages describing 
the goods sold by Mr. W. J. Cummings, liishup Autkl.-iiul, 
England, is likely to interest all anglers. Besides the gMmls 
described, a great deal of useful information, illustrated by ad- 
mirable cuts and half-tones, appears in it, together imh an ab- 
Lstract of the Norway Fishing i..aws, and nuieh eise of inierest. 
The catalogue is sent free. lilr. Cummings ulfei's lo Antcricaiis 
ordering his goods a discount of 10 per ceni, 011 all orders 
amounting to £1 and over, which will part;y'i)ay llie duty, lie 
already has a large trade in America.— .-/[/;;. 
It is more and more the fashion for well-to-do .Amcric.Tiis to rent 
or purchase estates in Britain, which they occupy loi (urlions of 
the year. The Kylemore Castle estate. County Ga.uay, Ireland, 
presents attractions to those who can afford such lu.xuries which 
ought to appeal to many rich Americans. Pheasant, grouse and 
wild duck shooting, and salmon, trout and deep sea fishing, are 
among the advjantages of this beautiful place. — Adv,

The widespread tendency of the present day to send boys off into 
camp for the summer lends especial interest to the advertisement 
for a party of boys to be made up for a fishing and shooting trip 
in the Rocky Mountains. Were it not for the expense of such a 
trip many parents would have their boys make it, and we do not 
doubt that the advertiser will receive many inquiries as to his 
plans. — Adv. 
To vacht builders — and especially to those interested in small 
craft for inside waters— the name of Thomas Clapham, Roslyn, 
L. I., is familiar. Mr. Clapham is well known as a high authority 
on sharpies and other yachts. He has several specialties well 
worthy of investigation, — Adv. 
Motor launches are coming more and more into use both for 
practical work and for pleasure purposes. The "Recreation 
Launch," manufactured by the Western Gas Engine Company, is 
said to have speed combined with safe and reliable power. Those 
who are interested should write for circular M.—Adv.
