The management had secured what we supposed would be an 
ample number of live birds to shoot out a one-day programme— 
I. _e.,- about 550, with another 150 to be shipped in on call, they 
bemg confined in a barn in a neighboring city. These were called 
for, but failed to arrive in time, and as the 5.50 on hand were ex- 
hausted by the foregoing events the remainder of the day was de- 
voted to target shooting. In fact there was only one wav to get 
the boys to quit shooting, and that v.'as to run out of daylight. 
The target scores for this day are appended herewith: 
Fifteen targets, $1.50 entrance, four moneys: Wiggins 12, Shefler 
10, Voris 12, Head 13, Butler 10. C. Foust 10, Ben 12, Duke 8, 
Yelton 8, Larue 8, Sconce 14, Burnside 14, Neal 15, White 12, 
Schlosser 9, Dunbar 15, Daniels 1.3, Fort 15, Courtney 13, Sher- 
wood 14.

Fifteen targets, $1.50 entrance, four monevs: Burnside 15, Sconce

Five pairs, over magautrap, entrance $1, two moneys: Burnside

Schlosser 4. ' 
Match at 10 targets shot fropi point 50yds. to left and in front 
of magautrap: Burnside 6, Sconce 7, Sherwood 4, Head 7, Butler 
5, Sheffer 4, Fort 6, Dunbar 4. 
Walking match, 10 targets, $1 entrance, two moneys: Plead 6, 
Butler 7, Sheffer 3, Fort 7, Schlosser S. . 
Another match w'as shot by the same as above at 5 pairs, and was 
won by Butler 10, Head and Fort 9 each, taking first and second 
moneys, the scores being lost. 
When an amateur tournacent can throw 13,000 targets and 
nearly 600 live birds in a three-day tournament, I call that a pretty 
fair tournament. 
Mr. Fred Erb, Jr., of Lafayette, was on hand with three rc- 
tnevers— a Chesapeake and two promising pointers. The Chesa- 
peake is a wonder, and Mr. Erb surprised the management by 
his fast retrieving. It was expected that the birds would last 
until dark. As it was, with his dogs, they were all shot off by 
3 P. M. 
_ Plarvey Sconce, with his red head, red necktie, red shooting 
jacket, red hat, etc., shot a lurid streak through this programme 
and the assembled cracks like the tail of a comet across a starry 
sky. ?He had a run of 91 straight the first dav, winning high 
average for the tournament. 
Ernie Tripp, Indiana's very best target shot„-ahd so good at the 
game that he has been selected as a member of the American 
team, shot Harvey a close race and had more fun than is usually 
accorded a man in a year's time. He makes a lot of trouble with 
his shooting, but he lights up a shooting match with his wit and 
fun in a delightful manner . 
. The club added $20 in prizes of $5 each to the two high and 
two low- guns shooting through the programme for targets. 
Sconce won first, Tripp second, and the two low prizes went to 
Messrs. Dunbar, of the home club, and Adamson, of Muncie. 
Charlie Adamson, of Muncie, is quite an enthusiast, and holds 
up his end well for a man of his experience. He has invented 
a top shot wad that appears to be about the thingy and was very 
busy demonstrating its merits . I hope to see thjs Wfcnd- Otfthe 
market soon. 
Elmer Neal, jolly, fat, rosy-cheeked and round-faced, shot a very 
good 'dip, and helped Ernie Tripp have a good time. Ask Elmer 
about his new diamond ring. It's worth seeing. 
Mr. Guy Burnside, a nice little quiet gentleman, shooting a 
splendid clip with never a word to say, was in a little hard luck 
the second day, as he shot a gait of about 94 and vet could not 
land a winner, while others shooting lower were good winners. 
In fact Guy was the only high class shooter who did not win, 
thus demonstrating the faults of the percentage system. 
The writer had provided a means of adding something by this 
tournament to the fund for tlie American team, which fund 
amounted to $11.20, as the manufacturers' agents present— Messrs. 
Courtney, Fort, Parker and North— paid (or biids, $22.40. The 
event gotten up tor this same fund provided $8.50 and I had 
.tlie pleasure of forwarding the Big Chief, Marshall, $20 in total as 
the subscription from this tournament. Wish it had been .$1,000. 
Dr. O. F. Britton and Elmer Apperson now hold the record of 
being, the only visitors who have contested in our five annual 
tournaments. Elmer is so busy making automobiles that he could 
only give us one day, but the Doctor staved the progi-arame 
through. May he be with us many years to come. 
Mr. , Robinson, of Huntington, is not bigger than your thumb, 
but he is as game as a pebble, and shoots well for his experience. 
Mike Smith, of the same club, was shooting a new gun, and 
only shot well in streaks. They are both stayers. ' 
The Foust brothers, of Warren, are a couple of game ocks 
that will bear watching. They shoot any old time and any old 
place and any old kind of a race for any old sum. Come a^-'ain 
gentlemen; your kind make a tournament. " ' 
Mr, E, C, Fort, representing Robiji Hood Powder Company, 
shot well indeed. He landed 25 straight in the big extra race 
and shot the boys to a standstill in the miss-and-out at the 
pigeons. He works hard for his company. 
Ihe inimitable John Parker, of Peters Cartridge and King 
1 owder Companies, managed this shoot as only he can. He never 
fails to get in good words for his powder and shells and when 
"e has time, he shoots a very hot pace. 
The Elwood boys were out in force. They are a little new at 
target_ shooting, but Wayne Leeson held his end up well. We are 
all going to their tournament next week. 
The Wabash, Ind., boys are a little out of practice, and with the 
e.xccption of Plugh Clark they found our fast targets a little swift. 
Understand, they are to have a shoot in June, which should be 
well patronized. 
('liarlie Lamb, of Attica, shooting under the name of Butler, has 
a new Smith gun, which he certainly handles well for a new one. 
Chai-lie is an old Peru boy, a member of this club, and is at home 
here. He bad two friends, Messrs. Sheffer and Schlosser, of 
Attica, vyho came up last day to see him shoot and be with the 
boys. The only way we could make this trio quit shooting was 
to put out the sun. 
Old reliable Jack Cavanaugh, of Peru, Ind., by gum. and who- 
IS so busy dispatching trains that he really attends but two 
shoots a year— i. e., the Grand American Handicap and our annual 
tournament— shot the targets through, and is showing splendid 
fonn. He is shooting a pump, and with a little more practice 
Will lead the Peru boys if Ihev don't watch him. 
Frank Dunbar and Will Daniels, of the Peru Club, did not shoot 
quite up to fonn, but they stuck to the game, and Frank landed 
several straights. He made a reputation among the visitors for 
being, very straight hiipself, and the Peru Club is proixd of these 
boys, 
J. S. Butler (Ben) and Roxy Duke are two crack Wabash en- 
gineers, and could not be spared from their runs to take part in 
all the .events but they were with us every minute thev coulld 
spare. Mr. .Sliepard, another new member of the club, who has 
been showing the boys "how" in practice, was called out on the 
road, but stayed with the tournament as much as possible. 
Charlie Townsend, of Knox., got in just in time to get his feet 
warm. In his fir.st race he landed 15 straight alone, and bagged 
about $12. Charlie is a fine fellow and a good shot. Come aeain 
C harlie. ^ 
Mr. Frank T. Sherwood, secretary of the Indiana Trapshooters' 
Lt^gue, and who resides at Bedford, where the league's annual 
tournanient is to be held in June, was with us from start to finish 
Irank is far from well, but he shoots like a giant and made many 
friends in this vicinity, this being his first visit to this part of 
the State in a shooting way. Frank shot as long as his shells 
held out, and when he borrowed some special loads from your 
humble servant and broke 44 out of his last 45 and lost the one 
by a flinch he came m asking a lot of questions about this load. 
You can bet he got the information and he will have to be 
watched from now on, as they just fit his gun. This was Frank's 
first effort at the pigeons, but he did well. 
Emile Werk, of Cincinnati (Chief Rio Grande), was oii hand 
and was pleased to see the fine lot of tents provided for the 
shooters. He said he did not believe he could protect the Hfe 
of the writer, as he did last fall, if that Old Round Top Tent 
the Indians remembered so well had been on the grounds. 
The Indians were well represented by Chief "Ride in the 
Wagon," E. H. Tripp; "Black Diamond," E. E. Neal; "Spoon 
Rover,' Guy Burnside; "Rio Grande," Emile Werk; "Sitting 
Bull," A. G. Courtney; and "Des-Kra-Choska," Jack Parker. 
Letters of regret were received from Whitney Thompson C. R " 
Stevens Rollo Heikes, Ed Rike, Dr. R. B. Short, and Charlie 
Budd. You were missed, gentlemen, and coulld you have been 
with us the fun and good fellowship woulld have just been that 
much greater. It is impossible to attend every tournament and 
the writer knows from experience that business comes first 
A little philosophy from Chief Sitting Bull: "Whenever you 
meet a 'lob.stcr,' or a man who is not just right in his principles, 
fake off your hat to him, for if it had not been him, you fool' 
it might have been you, and see what you have to be thankful for' 
The writer, on behalf of the Peru Gun Club, wishes to thank 
each and every individual present for his attendance, and fully 
assures you that by lending us your presence you contributed 
just -that much to the enjoyment of the occasion, whether you 
shoot one or one hundred times, and you were aJl equally welcome. 
On the other hand, if there occurred anytln'ng at any time dur- 
ing this tournament to annoj' any man present or cause dissatis- 
faction, I am truly sorry for it. and assure you that you have 
our apologies and we will do better next time.

Mississippi Valley Notes, 
The Progressive Gun Club, of East St. Louis, held its regular 
.semimonthly medal shoot on the 12th inst., with an attendance of 
twenty shooters. The feature of the day was the shooting of 
Stephen Le Page, who went through the programme of 70 targets 
thrown from a magautrap, including the medal event and a miss- 
and-out, without a miss. The scores are appended:

The North Alton Gun Club has begun regular weekly shoots, 
and IS grooming some first-class timber that will be heard from 
ere long m the amateur class of Illinois. There are several of the 
boys already who may safely be relied upon to put up a score any 
dav better than 80 per cent., and that is not slow for beginners. 
ihe programme and, prospectus of the twentv-fourth annual 
tournament of the Missouri State Game and Fish Protective Asso- 
ciation is out this week, and it presents a long list of attractions to 
the amateur shooter, such as perhaps no State tournament has 
offered in recent years. It is essentially an amateur shoot, all 
target events for sweeps or merchandise prizes being closed to the 
paid professionals, except that thev may shoot for scores at price 
of targets. Live-bird events are open to all, but under the handi- 
cap plan, so that the amateur is here also looked after. 
The tourney will be helcj^ at Dupont Park, west of the city of 
St. Louis, during the week of May 28 to June 1. Tuesday the ball 
opens with the State team medal shoot at live birds, four men, 
15 birds each, entrance $20 per team, and birds extra. On the same 
date the Missouri State individual championship trophy will be shot 
for under same conditions as the preceding event. Then follows 
immediately the Interstate individual championship race, entrance 
$12.50, including birds. The Association adds $50; winner gets 
medal and purse goes to four moneys. On Wednesday comes the 
race for the St. Louis Republic trophy, and on Fridav the Lemp 
amateur individual championship trophy. The live-bird" programme 
closes Saturday with short open sweeps and shooting off ties 
Birds will be charged for at 25 cents each, and trapping will be 
done from the Fulford traps. 
The inanimate target events call for 140 shots per day through the 
week, targets being charged for at Wz cents eadi, and the Asso- 
ciation adding $100 each day. Bluerocks and magautraps will be 
used, and on two days alternate events will be shot for a long list 
of excellent merchandise prizes. 
Illiaois Gun Club Trophy. 
Another spirited contest for the Illinois Gun Club trophy wa'; 
shot on the range at Springfield May 15. Guy Burnside, of Kno-x- 
ville, was the defender of the cup, there being six challengers, and 
he again won out against the field. He began poorly, by losing 
hi.s eighth bird dead out. and it looked very much as if the original 
challenger, Tom Holl, would win, but he drew a stunning bird 
m the twenty-second round, and it died out.side the wire. Rich- 
aidson, a local and comparatively new shooter, was in splendid 
fo!-m and after losing his eighth bird finished out straight. This 
left Burnside, Holl and Richardson high with 24 each. In the 
shoot-olf PIoll lost on his seventh bird, a very lively one and 
Richardson missed his twentieth, giving Burnside the honors and 
the cup. The birds were a fine lot. Both high men shot in fine 
form, but the work of Richardson as a man new at the game was 
especially noteworthy. The scores are appended;

Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago. May IS.— Appended are the Chicago Gun Club's scores, 
-i*,?.^, weather was fine, and there was a good attendance. Mr. Chas. 
VViJlard carne down to the shoot to-day, and by the scores he put 
up shows that even three years without pi-actice doesn't put him 
out of the game. When Charlie lived in Chicago and was in prac- 
tice he was hard to beat. In event No. 2, 25 targets, weekly 
handicap in birds, Dr. Carson scored 24 and broke 25. The referee 
du! not see tne pieces. Bowles won second prize after shooting 
out four in tie. Event No. 4, 15 targets, monthlv handicap in rise, 
was won by Dr. Miller, after shooting out Loveli."

Garfield Gun Club. 
Chicago, May 18.— Twenty-three members took advantage of the 
beautifiil weather to-day for an afternoon's sport at the target 
trap. A light breeze blew across the traps, making it cool and 
pleasant, and not strong enough to interfere with the flight of 
tne tai-gets. *
