Unfortunately got pocketed and liad to give way to Nir- 
vana, the third boat, and cross last. In the Manhasset 
one-design class Arizona got away first, but to- leeward of 
Lambkin, which boat was beautifully handled by Harry 
Ward. Bab crossed last. The first leg of the course was 
to the buoy oflF Hen and Chickens, and with the wind 
about east it was a beat to windward. The second leg 
was from the mark of Hen and Chickens to the buoy off 
Execution, thence to- the starting line off Echo Bay. 
The raceabouts w^ere sent around the course twice, and the 
Manhasset one-design boats only once. These little boats 
made good weather in the strong breeze and lumpy sea.

The American team sailed on the Canadian, from pier 50, New 
York, on Sunday morning. The team consists of Hon. Thomas 
A. Marshall, R. O. Heikes, W. R. Crosby, C. W. Budd, J. S. 
Fanning, J. A. R. Elliott, Fred Gilbert, Frank S. Parmelee, C. 
M. Powers, Edward Banks, .E. H. Tripp and Richard Merrill. 
Mr. Merrill will sail by a later steamer. Accompanying the team 
are Capt. A. W. Money, Mr. Emil Werk and 'his daughter. 
Miss Eugenie B. Werk; Mr. F. S. Plarrison, F. Elliott, Mr. D. 
F. Pride and Mr. B. Leroy Waodard. Messrs. Banks, Tripp 
and Crosby are accompanied by their respective wives. A large 
number of friends were gathered to 'bid them' bon voyage when 
the steamship sailed. .\ party of friends chartered a tug, Sea 
Wall, and accompanied the steamship down the harbor to near 
(iovernor's Island, when the giant, with its increasing speed, 
drew away from the tug. The passengers of the latter gave 
three cheers and a tiger to the departing team. There was a 
waving of handkerchiefs, a chorus of good-bys, and the team 
v/as on its way. The Canadian is due at Liverpool about June 
4 or 5. The team will proceed to the Hotel Cecil, London, and will 
shoot the first match on June 11. The team is booked to return 
on the steamship Cestrian, which sails from Liverpool on -June 
29. The international match will be for a stake of $2,.500 a side, 
play or pay. A series of five contests constitute the match. Each 
team consi.sts of ten men, each man shoots at 100 targets, so that 
each contest of the series has 1,000 targets per team, or a total 
of 5,000 to each team for the match. Each team may use substi- 
tutes, but not in a contest after it has begun. The English team 
has the use of both barrels; the American teatn tlie use of but 
one barrel. A number of people have expressed the belief that 
such is a severe handicap, but when it is considered tliat the 
American team, on form, are good for 90 per cent or better, that 
the conditions of the contest require that targets shall not be 
thrown lower than six feet nor higher than ten feet at a point 
ten yards from the trap, the English team have no special advan- 
tage with the second barrel. It will be noted that the conditions 
make a very low flying target, and one barrel, in quick time, on 
such is infinitely better than two in slow time. Still, a race is 
never won till it is finished, and we are sure that English and' 
Americans alike heartily wish the best te;yn to win. 
The Haverhill (Mass.) Gun Club desires to remind the shooters 
that its first annual prize series of shoots commence on June 1, at 
Hoyt's Grove, and continue every Saturday till Aug." 31. The 
following is taken from the " programme : "List of prizes — First, 
Winchester repeating shotgun; second, dress suit ease; third, 
sole leather gun case; fourth, 6M, pounds nitro powder; fifth, 
Thujman shooting blouse; sixth. Powers cleaning rod; seventh, 
Tomlinson cleanjjr; eighth, Heikes holder. Ties, if any, sliot 
off Aug. 31. High guns win. Conditions: Thirty targets, (15 
known and 15 unknown). Distance handicap — subject to read- 
justment at any time. Open to all; no entrance fee. Targets 1% 
cents each. Eight scores must be shot to qualify for prizesT 
Contestants shooting the full series may select their eight best 
scores. Prize event begins each Saturday at 3 p. m. No provision

event. -Ammunition for sale at the cluTihotise. S. G. Miller, 
secretary. Take jMain street car for Dustin square. Everybody

The Frankford Gun Chib, of I^hiladelphia, announces a second 
grarid tournament at targets on June 15, to be held on its grounds 
at Summerdale station, I'rankiord branch of the Reading rail- 
road. The main event is the 12-man team championship of Phila- 
delphia and vicinity, ft is open to all organized clubs within 
that locality. Each man of the teams shoots at 25 targets at 1 cent

Hi 
Mr. Carl Von Lcngerke, who has been with the firm of Von 
Lengerke & Detmold, 318 Broadway, for a number ' of years 
past as salesman, a position which he filled most efficiently and 
pleasingly, Jias accepted a position .as traveling salesman for the 
American E. C. & Schultze Gunpowder Co. In addition to being 
thoroughly conversant in business matters Mr. Van Lengerke 
is an expert shot. He has been a formidable competitor in sev- 
eral grand Amenican handicaps, and in numberless other tour- 
naments. He will have charge of the interests I'ecently supervised 
by Mr. VV. Fred Ouimby. Mr. Von Lengerke's thorough train- 
ing and integrity, wide acquaintanGe ?Lnd industry insure his 
success from the outset. 1 
•t 
Mr. Haze Keller, who is a representative of the Peters Car- 
tridge Co., of Cincinnati, is progressing ra|)idly as a skillful 
trap shot, in addition to his success as a salesman. While com- 
peting at the tournament held recently at Pottsville, Pa., he 
shot in the event the individual chamijionship of the county, 
and out of forty-nine shooters was the only one to break 25 
straight, -but as he was a nott-resident he cotild not win the 
trophy. We are infprmed that it is the only straight score at 
25 made on the Pottsville groimds. Mr. Keller also was high 
average for the day. The popular T. K. will have to look to his 
laurels, else they will be sjvjt off by 'his son. 
Mr. S. G. Miller, secretary of the Haverhill (Mass.) Gun Club, 
writes us concerning- his club's forthcoming series of shoots, from 
June 1 to Aug. 31. as follows: "U'e shall be glad to see any and 
all lovers of the sport and will spare no pains to give them a 
good time. Anyone tbat has any particular grudge against that 
B-root of Providence will find our Saturday afternoon shoots 
excellent opportunities to practice and get in trim to go down 
to their interstate shoot in August and have it out with hiim 
Any shooter who misses that tournament will have sometlting 
to regret as long as he lives. I have been to Providence and 
know whereof I speak." 
Mr. R. A. Welch, of the Carteret Gun Club, famous as an expert 
trap shooter, arrived in Paris on May 12. He has been doing " 
some excellent shooting since his arrival- abroad. At 
the Gun Club, on May 11, he won the £25 cup, from 
the 301/^ yard mark, killing 16 straight. There wei-e seventeen 
contestants. At Paris, May 13, he divided the first two events, 
and was one of the last tfiree in the others. In the two days, 
he killed 53 out of 55. He has cottipeted in eight events in 
Paris, up to May 16, and had divided in four of them, winning 
about £100. He will be in England to witness the international 
team' shoot. '' 
Mr. F. T. Sherwood, secretary-treasurer of the Trap Shooters' 
League of Indiana, Bedford, Ind., under date of May 24, writes 
us that "the Trap Shooters' I^eague of Indiana has this day 
granted to the Lafayette Gun Club, of Lafayette, Ind., a sanction 
for a tournament on Aug. 8 and 9. Kor further information 
address Joe Blistian, secretary."
