FOREST AND STREAM. 
[June i, tgat. 
The Massacliuselts Amateur Shooting Association announces 
its second annual tournament, to be held at Palmer, Mass,, on 
Thursday of this week. Shooting commences at 9 o'clock. The 
main event is the five-man team shoot, five teams respectively 
from Springfield, Holvoke, Winchendon, Brookfield and Palmer. 
There are thirteen events on the programme, 185 targets, total 
entrance $9.25; targets 1 cent; sweepstakes optional. Profes- 
sionals, for targets only; Rose system governs; lunch served on 
Krounds. Dr. S. B. Keith, secretary. 
Capt. A. W. Money, of the American E. C. & Schultze Gun- 
powder Co., was one of the passengers on the Canadian, which 
sailed with the American team and a number of its friends on 
Sunday of this week for England. Mr. Edward Banks, of the 
same company, went along as a substitute member of the team, 
and will also be of great assistance to it in England, as one who 
thoroughly knows the customs and geography of that country, 
he formerly having been a resident of that country. Mrs. Banks 
accompanied him abroad. 
at 
Owing to the fact that, to fit the Stadium up properly for the 
Pan-American shoot would cost more than the holding of the 
shoot would warrant, the managers decided to declare that shoot 
off. The ornamental work within reach of the shotgun loads 
would need to be boarded up to protect them from damage, and 
this would necessitate a larger expenditure of money than those 
in charge cared to apply to that purpose. 
Mr. W. J. VVeller, secretary of the Frankfort Fish and Game 
Protective Association, Frankfort, N. Y., writes us that "the 
Frankfort Fish and Game Protective Association will hold their 
third annual target tournament on July 4. We will have a very 
fine programme, and one first-class merchandise event, with 
prizes such as double and single barrel shotguns and rifles, etc." 
The tomnament of the Zoo Rod and Gun Club, at Elwood, 
Ind., May 14 and 15, was a gratifying success. The Lieber trophy, 
an event at 25 live birds, $20 entrance, had seventeen entries. 
Messrs. Neal, Fort and Parker tied on 24, but the two latter, being 
non-residents, were ineligible in respect to the trophy. Mr. John 
Parker, the famous expert, managed the itplirnament. 
Mr. J. W. Nelson, tlie secretary, writes us that at the meeting 
of the Central Gun Club, May 13, the date of the annual tourna- 
ment was fixed for July 5 and ti. Several hundred dollars will 
be hung up in averages and added money, and it is probable 
that the event will be one of the best held in the city. Railroad 
rates good until Monday, July 8. 
We are informed that Mr. Geo. R. Benjamin, who for the past 
seventeen years has ' represented the firms of M. Hartley Co., 
Remington Arms Co., and the Union Metallic Cartridge Co., has 
connected himself with the eastern department of the Peters Car- 
tridge Co., 80 Chambers street, New York city, and will repre- 
sent them on the road. 
The New York State shoot will be held at Interstate Park. Each 
member of the American team is provided with a neat gold but- 
ton, bearing a red, white and blue shield, very neat and tasty, 
without being gatidy in the slightest degree. They also have a 
full set of the Thurman shooting jackets, on '\vhich are the 
initials U. S. A. 
«t 
The programme of the Westminster (Md.) Gun Club's tourna- 
ment. May 31, provides eight target events at 15 and 20 targets, 
and two events at live birds, one at five, the other, the West- 
minster hatidicap, at ten birds; .$7 entrance, birds included; three

Saturday of each month for its contests. They will be held at

Mr. J. H. Jack won the monthly live-bird cup for May, at the 
shoot of the New Utrecht Gun Club last Saturday, killing 23 
straight from the 29yd. mark. Ex-Sherifl Creamer lost his t^venty-

The Farewell Dinner. 
Ttie Interutate Association, among its members, ofiftcially 
and personally, felt the glow of friendliness and good will toward 
Ihe American team, which has been so conspicuous in the trap 
shooting interests during some weeks past. As a friendly atten- 
tion, the Interstate Association gave a farewell dinner to the 
team and a few friends of it, at Muschenheim's Arena, on Friday 
evening, May 24, the day on which the team arrived in New Yorlc. 
The president of the association, Capt. J. A. PI. Dressel. was at 
the head of the table. At his right sat the Hon. Thomas A. 
Marshall, the captain of the team; at his left sat Mr, Chas. 
Tatham, who urbanely acted as toastmaster. There also were 
Messrs. E. S. Lentilhon, A. W. Higgins, Ed Banks, Emil Werk, 
Chas. Daly, T. W. Stake, J. H. Marlin, T. H. Keller, Mr. Lien- 
hart, Mr. Cook, L. J. Gaines. Mr. Heilman, Capt. A. W. Money, 
G. Bingham, L. Erhardt, H. Dressel, Mr. Marsh, members of 
the press and others to the number of thirty-nine. 
The after-dinner talks were specially interesting. Capt. Dressel 
spoke most interestingly and pertinently. Mr. Marshall 
expressed the pleasure he felt in being selected to take charge 
of so great a team, representing the United States. Talks were 
also made by Messrs. Palmer, Banks, Higgins, Gilbert, Parmelee, 
Werk, Pride, Capt. Money, Heikes, and others. The dinner was 
marked by the utmost good fellowship and hearty interest in the 
success of the team. The dinner itself was perfection, as a 
matter of course, when we consider by whom and to whom it 
was given.

Duke, Ass't Sec'y. 
Trenton Shooting Association. 
Trenton, N. J., May 18. — Charlie Maddock proved to be the 
leading lady at the matinee to-day, and Assmblyman Page also 
made very creditable scores. The weather conditions were un- 
favorable for making good scores, and also cut the attendance 
down. 
The best scores were made over the magautrap, which the boys 
seem to prefer, and when it came to shooting reverse pulls over 
the five-trap battery it made them open their eyes. 
In the expert rules event Thropp broke straight, with Taylor 
as the runner up with 9. 
I have tried to impress that it is wiser to mix the shooting, and 
have several times arranged the program.me to include both sets, 
so that when we go away from home it would be easier to catch 
on to the altered conditions of speed, elevation, etc., that one is 
certain to find. We intend to cover the score in front of the 
magautrap and make some other improvement, so that we can 
shcot in comfort, rain or shine. 
The striped bass are giving fine sport just now; one that was 
caught the other day weighed 401bs. It was landed by some shad 
fishermen in their seines.

Fort Smith Gun Club. 
Fort Smith, Ark.. May 24.— The regular weekly shoot of the 
Fort Smith Gun Club took place at the club grounds and the con- 
test for the beautiful loving cup. presented bv the Peters Car- 
tridge Co., to the Fort Smith Gun Club was resumed. 
The targets were thrown hard, and as the background is very 
bad, being a heavy growth of forest trees, the scores always rule 
about 5 to 10 per cent below what they would be on a sky back- 
ground. 
Mulraney came out for the first time this season and shot 
steadily throughout. ^ 
Ed Blattner was out selling chances for a raffle on a beautiful 
Smith gun, with two sets of barrels, and everybody took a chance, 
as It IS hard to resist the possible opportunity of getting a $125 
gun for 50 cents. 
Mrs. Kimmons and Mrs. Leach favored the club with their 
presence, and seemed much interested in the shooting, applaud- 
ing each good .shot that was made. 
Kimmons, who has been .^hooting an 80 per cent gait ever 
smce he broke into the game last season, had an off day and 
made a very poor score, getting 10. 13 and 16 out of three sets of 25. 
The scores yesterday were as follows:

will be a handsome souvenir for the lucky winner.

The Peters Cartridge Company Tournament at Brislcl. 
Cincinnati, O., May 20. — We have just wired you asking you to' 
make notice of the postponement of the Bristol, Tenn., tourna- 
ment for about four weeks. This we now confirm. We have 
letters from several of the promiijent members of the Bristol 
Gun Club giving some very excellent reasons why the tournament 
should be postponed, and we therefore take pleasure in complying" 
with their request. The boys want to make this the best tourna- 
ment that has ever been given in that section, but they fear that 
on account of the Confederate reunion early in June, and for a 
number of other reasons, it would be impossible to give the tourna- 
ment the desired attention of the earlier date. They therefore 
wish more time, and will select their own date, probably early in 
July. J. H. McKiBBEN, Sec y.
