Shot 
Known traps and angles was used, and proved a success. 
As to live birds, I do not think the club will care to bother 
with them, as they are a losing game to it. There are too many 
"no birds," and not enough shooters to make it an object for the 
club to waste the valuable time that might be used in throwing 
targets at a profit.

The "W* L E. A* Tournament, 
The preliminary announcement of the fifth annal trapshooting 
on the grounds of the Winnipeg Industrial Exhibition Association, 
Aug. 1 and 2, is as follows: 
One thousand dollars in added money, trophies and medals. 
In connection with and under the management of the Winnipeg 
Industrial Exhibition Association the following programme has 
been arranged, open to all sportsmen. Professional experts and 
manufacturers' agents will be allowed to shoot for the price of 
birds only. They are, however, cordially invited to be present. 
As the exhibition management wish to make this tournament a 
great annual fraternal gathering of amateur sportsmen, as well as 
trap shots, they have decided this year to so arrange their pro- 
gramme, that the novice, the sportsman from the country who has 
never shot at a clay bird, and all those who would not stand a 
chance of winning even a part of their entrance money back 
may participate in a number of the events on the programme for 
just the cost of the birds thrown to them. 
■ They are satisfied that many who in the past stayed away because 
they were not sufliciently expert trap shots to compete on a level 
basis at a tournament will, under the liberal provisions of this 
year's programme, accept this invitation to be present and partici- 
pate in the greatest meet of trap shots west of Chicago. 
They wish to assure everybody that liberal arrangements have 
been made to handle the very much increased attendance they 
expect this year, and thej' promise that everything will go with 
the snap and vim so necessary to make a meet of this kind 
enjoyable. 
The Canadian trap shots will have the pleasure of entertaining 
their American visitors at a complirnentary supper as a wind-up 
to the tournament.

Swanton. Yt., and is valued at $200. This year for the first time 
the Exhibition Association, with the consent of the Robin Hood 
IPowder Company, have decided to turn this event into a sweep

three high guns, the balance of the purse in the ratio of 30, 20 and

Cigar Factory, and is to be competed for between teams represent- 
ing Canada and the United States. The teams must be composed 
of not less than four men, and must consist of an equal number of 
men on each side. 
We want all visiting trap shots to thoroughly realize that they 
are the guests of the Winnipeg Industrial Exhibition Association, 
and that it will be our duty, as well as pleasure, to look after them 
in every way from the time they reach the city imtil we shake 
their hands and wish them a pleasant journey at the motjient of 
departure. If you will write us we will secure- you accommodation 
while in the city. We will look after your guns and ammunition 
when here. We wish you to use tis as a general information 
bureau, and to understand that you have a right to do so. In 
all o£ this we will have the able assistance of members of the two 
city gun clubs. 
Remember that within a few yards of the tournament grounds 
one of the greatest fairs in America will be in full swing. The 
list of vaudeville attractions this year will be better and greater 
than ever, while the horse racing will be superb. Just think of it! 
nearly $40,000 will be paid out for prizes and attractions. Come 
and participate in the biggest tournament in the Northwest, and 
see the big fair as well. 
The tournament grounds are most beautifully situated for the 
purpose, and every arrangement will be made for your comfort. 
Luncheon will be served each day on the grounds in the best and 
most comfortable manner. 
A magautrap and two batteries of expert traps, with a full staflf of 
officials, all thoroughly competent, will keep everything humming. 
All guns of a larger caliber than 12-gauge and the vise of black 
powder are strictly barred in all of the events of this tournament. 
Targets will be thrown for 3 cents each, and price of same will 
in all cases be deducted from the purse. 
All purses, unless otherwise stated in the programme, will be 
divided by the Rose system in the ratio of 4, 3, 2, 1. 
We want you to realize that over $2,500 in cash, trophies and 
medals will be divided among the contestants on the very con- 
servative estimate of 50 guns competing. Our purpose in sending 
out this preliminary programme at such an early date is to enable 
you to compare it with others, and decide where you will spend 
your holiday. We are not afraid of the result. 
If there is anything more you want to know, remember Ave 
will be delighted to answer any and all questions. 
The regular programme will be issued later, with full and com- 
plete information, and a copy will be mailed to you,

The St. Paul Rod and Gun Club shoot of May 4 was well at- 
tended, and good scores were made. Morrison is shooting in better 
form than ever. To-day he made a run of 105 without a skip. 
Wilkinson, Hirschy, P. Hanser, Kelsey and Gotzian are also doing 
good work. Dr. Bill. 
Aschenbtoedel Gun Club. 
New York, May 6. — Herewith please find the results of our 
shoot, held Friday, May 3. One event, 50 targets: Wagner 29, 
Walters 26, Ruhlender 23, Siemers 19, Wiezner 19, Moeslein 19, 
Heizer 16. 
It was decided at the last meeting of our club that the secretary 
should give, in his next report to you, an account of his own antics 
while practicing the art of missing targets. As this is not as 
agreeable a task as describing the antics of others, he thought it 
the best policy to stay away. This accounts for the meagerness of 
this report. Still, I think it my duty to report that the supply of 
soft coal and dynamite cartridges has not yet given out. 
Our friend Heiser, whose name appears at the foot of above score 
with 16 targets out of 50, uses a 20-gauge popgun. Wonder he 
hits as many as he does! We intend starting a subscription to 
buy him a man's gun.

Rifle Shooting;. 
The preparations for the international rifle shooting tournament 
to be held at Sea Girt, N. J., Aug. 30 to Sept. 7 next are well 
under way. 
The information has reached this side that the Irish team have 
already gone in for training. 
Quite a distinguished party wll accompany the Irish teatti to 
this country, with whom will be the Marquis of DuSern and Sir 
Henry Thyme. Sir Thomas Lipton, who will have preceded them 
to this country with his yacht Shamrock II., for the purpose of 
lifting the America Cup will meet the party at New York and ac- 
company them to Sea Girt. In a recent interview he said, "We 
hope to take back with us not only the America Cup but the scalps 
of the American riflemen." 
The Irish party will be sumptuously entertained by the wealthy 
cottagers at and in the vicinity of Sea Girt, among whom is 
Martin Maloney, the millionaire contractor of Philadelphia, who 
is a personal friend of Sir Thomas Lipton. 
The Canadian team will also bring with them several men of note 
in the Dominion. Little is known about the Swiss team that is 
coming, except that they won the world's championship at Paris 
last yearj and will bear a lot of watching by our riflemen. 
Efforts to bring the Argentine team from Buenos Ayres on an 
American war vessel have failed, owing to the fact that no vessel 
of the Atlantic Squadron will be coming up on -or about that time. 
The American team will not be gotten together until about the 
middle of the summer, but candidates for place on the team will 
begin work in a few weeks. 
The Sea Girt range will be opened on May 25, when a large party 
of riflemen from New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia wfll go 
dovvn for practice. 
Expert riflemen connected with the guard of any State are in- 
vited for places on the American team. They may practice on 
their home range, which must have facilities for 800, 900 and 
1,000yd. shooting. Official score cards for this purpose can be 
secured of Gen. Bird W. Spencer, Passaic, N. J., president 
National Rifle Association. 
The coming of the foreign team has undoubtedly spurred the 
different States to make special efforts to send teams to the Sea 
Girt meeting. Already New York, Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode 
Island IMarjdand, New Jersey. Pennsylvania, Delaware and District 
of Columbia have definitely decided to be represented, while the 
States of New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Illinois, Mich- 
igan, Ohio, Tennessee and Minnesota are at work trying to get 
teams to send. It has been definitely decided by the tj. S. Naval 
authorities to send a team to compete for the Hilton trophy. This 
is the first time that the navy has ever been represented at these 
meetings. 
Among the recent organizations which have affiliated with the 
National Rifle Association is the Seventy-first Regiment of New 
York. This is the first regiment of New York to take such action, 
and it is said that the Seventh and Twelfth regiments will shortly 
do likewise. ' 
The National Rifle Association is fast getting on its feet, and 
is now in better shape than it has been at any time in the last 
twenty years. 
Columbia Pistol and Rffle Club. 
San Fkancisco, May 5.— Mr. A. H. Pape put up some of the 
best rifle averages ever made in the club. A. J. Brannigan, our 
new revolver champion, again excelled the pistol experts with his 
,38 S. & W. revolver, and beat the coast record for ten best scores 
28 points, with a total of 426. He accomplished this feat in three 
club shoots and thirty-five entries. He is considered Anderton's 
•equal, and expressed a desire to shootr Anderton a 100-shot revolver 
match when he comes on to the bund fest. Tom Anderton is the 
acknowledged champion revolver shot, and we hope he will come 
prepared for a match or two. He holds the 50-shot record (209) 
on the Columbia target; also the 10-shot record (31), but made 
them with a .44cal. revolver, which is considered a few points ad- 
vantageous over the .38. Scores, on Columbia target, 10 shots,
