Intercity Shooting Park, of Minnesota. 
Chicago, 111., June 21.— Dr. Bill,' the hustling manager of the 
Tntercitj' Shooting Park, midway between the two sturdy cities of 
St. Paul and Minneapolis, writes breezily concerning matters out in 
his part of the world. It is quite worth while to note what he says 
regarding the tournament of the St. Paul Rod and Gun Club on 
July 10-11. There will be $350 added, the weather will be pleasant, 
there will be a rattling good crowd of fine fellows, .and all in all 
no Western shooter sliould be without a ticket to this important 
Western event. Regarding late matters, Dr. Bill .specifies as 
below : 
"The weather interfered largely with the attendance this week. 
Every club day was of a disagreeable nature and kept the scores 
below the normal. 
"The tournament of the St. Paul Rod and Gun Club to be held 
on these grounds on July 10 and 11 promises to be the target event 
of the year. The club will add $350 to a very attractive pro- 
gramme, besides offering the trophy of the St, Paul Gun Club, 
emblematic of the State championship, and the Hirschy team chal- 
lenge trophy. The members of the cUib are taking active interest 
in this shoot, and will also see that the shooters are entertained 
evenings. We want all shooters to make some one hotel the 
general headquarters. We will no doubt secure rates and will an- 
nounce same in programme. . 
"Scratch the business dates of July 10 and 11 off the book. Ship 
your shells to Frank Novotny, St. Paul; put your gun in the 
case, throw the strap over your shoulder and buy a ticket for St. 
Paul. You won't need to make it read, "Good for return," for we 
would like to have all trapshooters residents of the Capital City. 
Remember one thing, gentlemen, all the crack shots are in 
Europe, and this will be a shoot for amateurs only. Manu- 
facturers' agents can show their hand, but cannot get next to the 
'jack pot.' 
"The Oak Grove Gun Club, of Minneapolis, are now making 
these grounds their home. Watch their scores, as well as watch 
them grow. They turn out a good crowd and can shoot a few. 
"June 6, Minneapolis Gun Club Day.— Johnston and French 
are shooting a good race, and making all the boys step a few; 
I. ^i singles, unknown angles: Danz 10, French 10, Mrs. Johnston 10,

"Saturday, June 8.— St. Paul Rod and Gun Club Day.— The 
first event was" 25 singles, unknown angles, for the club cup. Score 
is with handicap. The second event is 25 singles, unknown angles 
for the Thompson and Day trophies, without any handicap allow- 
ance. In event No. 1 Ranialey won in the shoot-off, with Thomp- 
son, This was a very interesting race, as it required 125 birds to 
the man to determine the winner. This was a hard day for shoot- 
ing, as the wind was strong and very g:usty:

Central of Duloth. 
Just ahead of the St. Paul Rod and Gun Club tournament comes 
that of the Central Gun Club, of Duluth, Minn., $440 in cash added. 
This is the ninth annual tournament of the Central Gun Club. It 
is a sterling event, and ought not to be overlooked. A trip to the 
head of the Lakes, then dropping back to the Twin Cities at the 
close of the Central Gun Club tournament, would make a splendid 
combination for any Western — and indeed any Eastern — shooter 
in midsummer. These shooters of the Northwest are the salt of 
the earth, though they live by the unsalted sea, and the man who 
can spend a cpuple of weeks in Minnesota in early July is doing 
good for himself and his country. E. Hough.

Garfield Gun Club. 
Chicago, Tune 22. — The appended scores were made on our 
grounds to-day on the occasion of the eighth trophy shoot of the 
- season, or the first shoot of the second series. There was a 
strong hot wind blowing from the rear, which caught the targets, 
causing them to beat down quickly or jump in all sorts of direc- 
tions, making the shooting very difficult. Consequently no high 
scores were made. Ford, Pollard and Midgley tied for Class A 
trophy on 21. Bernard and Dr. Huff tied for Class B trophy on 
19. C. T. Keck, our one-armed amateur, won Class C on 14. 
The attendance was good considering dark day an'd bad weather 
for shooting:

A Floatmgf Tottrnament. 
The boys of the Mt. Sterling, 111., Gun Club have won for them- 
selves the fame of arranging something entirely unique in the 
history of Western trapshooting. On June 18 they gave an all- 
day tournament from the upper deck of the excursion steamer 
City of Peoria, Capt. G. M. Sivley, master, while the boat carried 
an excursion on the placid waters of the Illinois River from 
Beardstown to Montezuma Landing and return. Recognizing 
something good, the boys of all nearby teams who take pleasure 
in the sport of trapshooting, participated. Nobody was barred, 
and Messrs. Black Powder and Ten Gauge were there in plural 
and dual form. The programme called for ten 10-target events, 
three even moneys, and this combination wa.s_found very satis- 
factory. It was an unique game in many respects, a notable 
feature being the ever-changing background against which the 
birds went— sometimes the rippling river, anon a dark forest, again 
a lofty hill, a waving grain field, and occasionally the fleeting 
framework of a low-hanging bridge. Notwithstanding these con- 
ditions, some excellent shooting was done. Fred Parks, of Mt. 
Sterling, won the honors, and a handsome cup donated by the 
Peters Cartridge Company, with the handsope score of 95. "Old 
Man" Gilbert, of New Philadelphia, scored 94. Craig and Riehl 
tied for third with 93. Ed Scott got 91 and Estis 90. The long 
runs were made by Riehl, 61, and Estis, 56. Forty-five men par- 
ticipated in tlie events, and with extras, 450 targets were shot.

June 22.— Herewith please find scores of the Ossining Gun Club, 
n-ade June 22 at the regular weekly shoot, together with the sum- 
mary of prize events, which ended on this day. Bedell gets first 
prize with 87 per cent., a handy margin of 8 points over J. Curry 
Barlow, who landed second prize with 79 per cent. Bedell also 
gets a special prize for the longest run of breaks during the shoot. 
Genial Commodore Rohr shot a game race, making a tidy total of 
71 per cent., which gave him third prize. 
A new series of prize shoots will be started on July 4, when a 
good big shooting crowd is expected. 
The conditions of this series of prize shoots were such that the 
contestants were obliged to shoot rain or shine— thus the small 
percentages. 
All events were at 10 singles, except No. 4, which was at 5

Fitchbtitg: Rifle and Gun Clob. 
FiTCHnuRG, Mass. June 20.— The second shoot of the series be 
tween Gardner, Leominster and Fitchburg was shot at Gardner 
yesterday afternoon, and the local team came out ahead. The 
weather man hit it just right, except there was quite a variable 
wind. It would be difficult to get together three five-man teams 
which are more closely matched than these three. It is anybody's 
mstch until -it is over. 
This was the secotid of six shoots, two to be held in each 
place. A very beautiful cup is the prize to the winning team. 
After two shoots the standing is as follows: Fitchburg has 
broken 412, Leominster 410, Gardner 400. This assures great 
interest in the coming matches. 
The next shoot of the series will be held at Leominster on the 
afternoon of July 10. 
Shoots of this nature are conducinve to tfie best of good fellow- 
ship, and as all the fellows are true American sportsmen in the 
best sense of the term these tneets prove a very pleasant outing 
to all participating. May the best team win.
