The programme of the Schenectady (N. Y.) Gun Club's tourna- 
ment to be held on July 4, announces that all are invited. 
.Shooting commences at 10 o'clock. Magautrap and bluerocks. 
•I he competition will consist of hiteen lo-target events, each $1.25

tlemen wishing to shoot for targets only are cordially invited 
to do so. Communications addressed to the undersigned at 
Schenectady, N. Y., will receive prompt attention. V. Wallburg, 
president and captain; H. Strong, secretary. 
Under date of June 8, Mr. Elmer E. Shaner writes us as fol- 
lows: "The tournament scheduled for Buffalo under the auspices 
of the Pan-American Exposition has been officially declared off. 
I am in receipt of a telegram from Mr. S. D. Clarke, secretary 
of the bureau of sports, stating that it will be impossible to give 
the shoot." 
In a cablegram to Capt.' J. A. H. Dressel, on Tuesday of this 
week, it was reported that in a preliminary sweepstake Mr. R. O. 
Heikes broke 25 straight, with Crosby and Gilbert 22 each. In 
the second sweep Mr. T. A. Marshall was high with 22. The 
main event, the international shoot, was started. The weather 
was fajr, with a blustering wind, and there was a fair attendance, 
a good part of which was ladies. Crosby scored 19 out of his 
first 20 and 17 out of his second 20. When 400 targets had been 
shot at the scores were 319 to 303 in favor of the Americans. 
Further details were omitted, excepting that the results of the 
first day were: American team, 866; English team, 801. This in- 
dicates a much closer race than was anticipated on this side of the 
frog pond, although the American eagle as yet has lost no tail 
feathers. 
In the Sun of June 10 the following concerning American 
shooters in London was published: "John W. Gates and C. C. 
Naumann have been taking part in the pigeon shoots of the 
London Gun Club at Netting Hill, London. J. W. Gates on 
May 25 had very good success. He was handicapped at 28 yards. 
In a $10 sweepstakes he killed seven straight and took as his 
share of the money $100, and in a similar event he divided after 
killing only four and won $105. C. C. Naumann shot from the 
33 yard mark in the handicaps, and in four events he missed 
early in the shoot. He and Vernon Baker shot a match with 
A. W. Eales, of Australia, and Mr. Heywood. Each stood at 
the 30 yard mark and shot at 24 birds. Eales and Heywood killed 
20 each, winning the match. Baker killed 20 and Naumann 17." 
The programme of the Interstate Association's trapshooting 
tournament, given for the Jamestown Gun Club, Jamestown, N. Y., 
July 10 and 11, is now ready for distribution. It provides ten 
events for each day, seven at 15 targets and three at 20 targets; 
entrance $1.50 and $2. Shooting commences at 9 o'clock. Four 
moneys, 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. Guns and ammunition for- 
warded to J. W. Graff, Jamestown, N. Y., will be delivered on 
the grounds. Targets, 2 cents. Lunch will be served on the 
grounds. To reach the grounds, take Lakewood car, in front of 
the Sherman house (which will be the headquarters) for Living- 
stone avenue; or Celeron car for Ashville avenue. Mr. Elmer E. 
Shaner,. Ill Fourth avenue, Pittsburg, is the Interstate Associa- 
tion manager. 
An Associated Press cablegram contains the information that 
on iVionday of this week the American team had a preliminary 
practice shoot, and did not perform so well as expected. The con- 
ditions are different from those to which the American shooters 
are accustomed. The rise is at eighteen yards and the targets 
are thrown very swiftly down hill. Some of the best shots of 
the team were much out of form. The English were not shooting 
as well as the Americans, yet it was intimated that it was possible 
that the former were not doing their best in the practice shoots. 
J he cablegram intimates that there is 'the realization of the sossi- 
bihty of defeat on the part of the Americans. 
T, 1 Schortemeier announces a live-bird shoot at Inter- 
state Park, L. I., on June 14. Shooting on the arrival of the 9:20 
tram from East Thirty-fourth street, L. I. R. R., will commence 
with $2 miss-and-outs from the 30yd. mark. On the arrival of 
the 11 o clock train the Monte Carlo event will begin It is at 
12 birds— 6 at 29yds., 6 at 31yds.— entrance $5, high guns, 40, 30, 20 
and 10 per cent. The main event, 20 birds, 26 to 33yds., $5 entrance 
class shooting, 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent., commences on the 
arrival of the 12:20 train. This handicap remains open till the 
arrival of the 1:50 train. Birds extra in all events. 
A press dispatch states that the American team arrived safely in 
Liverpool on June 6, and as soon as their baggage could be 
checked they left for London, where a welcome from the repre- 
sentatives of the English team and Middlesex Gun Club awaited 
them. The dispatch stated that Messrs. Parmelea., Crosby and 
Elliott started in earnestly to be sea sick at the commencement 
of the voyage, and made a very high average. The match begins 
on Tuesday of this week. It will be reported for Forest and 
Stream by Mr. Edward Banks, whose eminent ability as a trap- 
shooter and writer is well known. 
Mr. John S. Bowen, Gainesville, Fla., under date of June 4, writes 
us as follows: "Our Interstate shoot is to take place here on 
the 25th, 26th and 27th of this month. It will be managed by the 
Peters Cartridge Company. There will be ten events each day 
the first two days, with about $100 added money by the Gainesville 
Fla., Gun Club. The third day will be a 50-bird handicap for the 
amateur championship of Georgia and Florida, the winner to be 
awarded the Peters Cartridge Company trophy. As soon as I 
get the programme from the printer, will forward same to you." 
The Cleveland Gun Club Co. write: "In our interstate shoot, 
June 19 to 21, we will add a special event on the second day. 
This event does not appear on our programme. It will consist 
of 100 targets, entrance $5, targets included, open to all amateur 
shooters of the State of Ohio; prize $200 diamond badge, to be 
known as the Amateur Championship Diamond Badge of Ohio. 
Highest score to win and own badge. This badge will not be 
shot for unless 20 or more entries are made." 
Under date of June 6 Mr. C. F. Kramlich, Allentown, Pa., 
informs us that the Weiler Gun Club shot a five-man team race 
at bluerocks with the Independent Gun Club, of Easton, and de- 
feated the latter by a score of 100 to 90. The losers paid for a 
supper for the entire party.. The scores were: Weiler Gun 
Club— Miller 21, Straub 18, Daudt 20, Weiler 21, Kramlich 20; 
total 100. Independent Gun Club — Frederick 20, Mauser 14, 
Transue 19, Harrison 17, Heil 20; total 90. 
Mr. C. G. Blandford, captain of the Ossining Gun Club, writes 
us that "a clay bird shoot will be held by the Ossining Gun Club 
July 4. Opening of the new club house. Refreshments, shells, 
etc., on the grounds. Trolley cars run directly to the grounds. 
Experts and professionals are invited to shoot for targets only, at 
1 cent each, or shoot in the sweepstakes, with a slight handicap, 
to be arranged by the cliib's han^licapping committee. Shooting, 
rain or shine," 
The great international trapshooting contest began on Tuesday 
of this week. The preliminary^ practice demonstrated that the 
contest would not be such a cinch as it at first was considered 
to be. But, as is well known, the American team is composed 
of .shots who are mighty with the gun, who learn new conditions 
quickly, and therefore will give a good account of themselves 
whether they win or lose. 
In a match at 50 live birds for a $100 purse, 30 yards rise, use 
of one hand only, Mr. L. T. Duryea defeated Mr. T. W. Morfey 
at Interstate park last Saturday by a score of 44 to 37. Another 
match at 30 birds for $100 a side was made and shot forthwith, 
and was won by Mr. Duryea bv a score of 45 to 44. On June 1, 
at 50 birds, 31 yards rise, Mr. Duryea defeated Mr. Morfey by a 
score of 46 to 42. 
Under date of June 5 the Pine Bluff Gun Club writes us as fol- 
lows: "The eleventh annual tournament of the Arkansas Sports- 
men's Association will be held in Pine Blufif, Ark., under the 
auspices of the Pine BlufiE Gun Club,. July 9j 10 and 11. Pro-

FiTCHBURG, Mass., June 7.— Our regular shoot was held on the 
afternoon of June 5, and every one present had a most enioyable 
afternoon's sport. 
In the handicap prize shoot there were some very close and 
interesting contests, This club has spent a goodly sum in protect- 
ing, propagating and releasing game birds in this vicinity, and it 
was a very pleasing thing to hear all the afternoon around our 
grounds the pleasant call of Bob White, although the shooting was 
continuous, Several sat on the fence surrounding the grounds 
and called all the afternoon; but when they hear a gun next Oc- 
tober they won't stay around like that. They will "lite" out" 
lively then, and it will take our good dogs some time to locate 
them. The- scores;
