Sept. 2 and 3 are the dates fixed upon for the second annual 
tournament of the Virginia Trapshooters" Association, at Rich- 
mond Va., under the management of the popular expert, Mr. 
Tohn 'Parker, of Detroit. All shooters are invited. Four sets of 
traps will be provided. The sweepstakes open to all amateurs. 
Targets 2 cents. Liquid refreshments free to all shooters. The 
Association's team and championship events will be the only 
events closed to the public. Mr. Franklin Stearns is president 
of the Association. Mr. J. C. Tignor is secretary-treasurer. U he 
Association slates that "last year this Association's tournament 
was attended by 130 shooters. This year's attendance will smash 
that all to smithereens, and break all records, as the Association 
alone numbers nearly 400 active shooters. A good time and plenty 
of shooting are guaranteed to all. Remember Labor Day and 
Richmond's hospitalitv. You want to shoot and you want to be 
treated right, so don''t fail to come to the biggest shoot of the 
year. Address the secretary for catalogue and information. Ihe 
clubs composing the Association are Chesapeake Gun Club, New 
port News; Portsmouth Gun Club. Portsmouth; North Side Gun 
Club Barton Heights; Blue Ridge Gun Club, Roanoke; ^Vythevllle 
Gun' Club, Wytheville; Ashland Gun Club, Ashland; Lynchburg 
Gun Club, and Oakwood Gun Club, Lynchburg; Staunton Gun 
Club, Staunton; Charlottesville Gun Club, CharlottesvUle; Nor- 
folk Gun Club, Norfolk; Clifton Forge Gun Club, Clifton Forge; 
West End Gun Club, East End Gun Club, Deep Run Hunt Club 
and Lakeside Country Club, Richmond. Programmes will be 
ready about Aug. 15. 
The English papers, as will be noted on reference to some 
excerpts from them published in another column, intimate that 
the American team had a real advantage in the greater load used, 
and had thev been limited in that respect to the conditions govern- 
ing the English team things might have been difterent. Inci- 
dentally, the thought suggests itself that had the English team 
been restricted to the same conditions which governed the 
American team, things might have been still' more different. It is 
possible that the American team might be willing to shoot them 
a match on even terms. However, the loads of the American team 
are described in full in Mr. E. Banks' interesting account of the 
match, which is published in our trap columns. 
The Marlin Fire Arms Company, of New Haven, Conn., has 
now ready for distribution a catalogue for 1901, which will be 
mailed to any one on receipt of application accompanied with three 
stamps for postage. Besides giving a complete list of the com- 
pany's famous products, illustrated in parts and in whole, there is 
a great fund of practical information of value and interest to 
shooters both in respecf to rifle and shotgun. The covers are 
■a model' of artistic excellence. The front cover portravs a camp 
scene— an Indian of fine physique standing alertly with rifle in hand 
ready for instand use. The covers are printed in nine colors, and 
in their production display a generous outlay of thought, talent 
and money. 
An exchange states, in' respect to the Buffalo Audubon Gun 
Club that "a general meeting of the club is called for Wednesday 
evening next, June 26, at President J. J. Reid's office, when the 
club will act on the advisability of holding a large tournament 
during the Pan-American season at the club's grounds, and if ad- 
visable dates will be set and the respective committees and ar- 
rangements perfected at once. The demand for a shoot at Buffalo 
seems to be coming in from all parts of the world, and the manage- 
ment, by the Audubon Gun Club, if it took hold, would guarantee 
an event second to none ever held in this country. The dates 
recommended by some of the prominent shooters would be early 
in August." 
It is now a good time to study one's own ability at different 
marks in respect to target shooting. It is not a difficult task to 
find a great number of shooters, each of whom knows that he 
should be placed at the inside mark, while all others are strung 
back anywhere toward the horizon. It is, on the other hand, quite 
a difficult task to find a shooter whose personal opinion concern- 
ing himself is that he should be set back from the inner mark. 
However, if a shooter have any misgivings, it is well to get m 
some long-distance practice. 
The Hudson Gun Club, of Jersey City, N. J., announces that 
there will be a five-man team race, 25 targets per man, at its 
tournament, June 30. The programme provides seven other target 
events at 10, 15, 20 and 25 targets, entrance 65 and 75 cents, and 
$1.30 and $1.90. Targets IV2 cents. . Shooting commences at 
9 o'clock. Rose system will govern. Shells for sale on the 
grounds. Refreshments free. Take Turnpike car from- P. R. R. 
Ferry to west side of Hackensack River Bridge to reach the 
grounds. A. L. Hughes, Cor. Sec'y.

The press dispatches mention that the American team last Sat- 
urday shot a match at Glasgow for £100 a side and won by a score 
of 973 to 882. Each team had the use of both barrels. Merrill, 
Crosby and Gilbert broke 50 .straight. Crosby used his second 
barrel once; Gilbert used his twice, and Merrill used his six times. 
Crosby scored 99. Tripp, Heikes and Fanning 97 each. The highest 
individual Scotch score was 96. The Americans were much 
applauded. 
^» 
Those who think that there are no new reasons for low scores, 
relieving the shooter from any unpleasant doubts concerning his 
lack of skill, should ponder over the following, taken from the 
Meridian, Miss., News: "The heavy rains had dampened the^ 
bluerocks to such an extent it was almost impossible for sliot to 
break them, which accounts for individual scores being lower than 
usual." 
The Washington, Ind., Democrat states that John L. Winston, 
of this city, broke 94 clay targets out of a possible lOO during the 
State tournament of the Trapshooters' League at Bedford, Wednes- 
day, and by doing so won the State championship, the diamond 
medal of the Indiana Trapshooters' League and a handsome gold 
watch. Winston broke 94 targets out of 100. 
Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, manager of the Interstate Association, 
arrived in New York on Monday of this week, and forthwith 
energetically engaged in preparing the preliminary arrangements 
for the forthcoming Grand American Handicap at targets. He vvill 
be occupied two or three days with his official, duties. 
In a team race, fifteen men on a side, between the South Side 
Gun Club, of Newark, and the Boiling Springs Gun Club, of 
Rutherford, N. J., at Newark, on Saturday of last week, the 
Boiling Springs Club won liy a score of 812 to 300. Each enn- 
U-.staut shot at. 25 targets. 
Capt, J. A. H. Dressel received a cablegram on Thursday of last 
week concerning the American team, as follows: "All sail twenty- 
nintli," which signifies that the members, will sail for America on 
June 29, and arrive here in time for the G. A. H. at targets. 
Keep in mind that the regular entries in the Interstate Associa- 
tion's Grand American Handicap at targets close July 17 at

City Park Gun Club. 
Nijw Orleans, La. — The fifth shoot for the Peters Cartridge 
Company gun was held June 16, at the City Park Gun Club 
grounds. 'The day was an ideal one for bluerock shooting. Not a 
breath of air was stirring, and the men shot remarkably well. As 
a result seven of the entries tied for first place under the handi- 
cap system. 
Mr. Sommer made the best score with 24 out of 25, dusting the 
missed bird very hard. Mr. Lhote on the shoot-off topped his 
rival by killing 15 straight, with added handicap. This made him
