FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Aue. 17, igoi* 
Interstate Toufnament at Providence. 
The Interstate Association's tournament, given for the Provi- 
dence Gun Club, was marked by the enthusiasm and good-fellow- 
ship which has been such a conspicuous and pleasant feature of 
prior shoots of this club. The attendance was good, and more than 
could be reasonably expected if we consider the hot, uncomfortable 
weather, the absence of many on vacations and outings, and the 
general discomfort of bodily exertion in such a humid temperature. 
There were ten target events each day on the programme, al- 
ternatmg 15 and 20, with $1.50 and $2 entrance. The Rose system 
governed the division of the moneys in the ratios 8, 6. 3 and 2. 
August 7, First Day. 
There was a total of sixty-four entries for the day. The wind 
blew a gale till midday, with heavy showers at intervals, making 
conditions anything other than favorable for comfort and good 
scores. About two hours were taken for lunch and a wait for 
clearer weather. Shooting was resumed about 2 o'clock. Some 
good scores were made, nevertheless. Leroy was high for the day 
with 163 out of 175 targets. Other good performances were hi 
evidence, as the, scores will show. 
Mr. Elmer E. Shaner managed the tournament in his usual 
finished manner. The scores:

The weather again was pleasant and favorable. Schortemeier 
made a star performance by breaking 168 out of 175 targets, Dudley 
bemg a close second with 166. 
After the regular events were completed, four extras were ar- 
ranged, which afforded the spectators an opportunity to see what 
the experts really could do. These events were run off under e-xpert 
rules, and the purses were divided according to the prevailing 
Rose system. The first event, the entrance fee for which was $5, 
was at 50 targets, and included six men. Le Roy won first money 
with the excellent showing of 49 breaks. Griffith took second with 
only 7 lost. 
The next two events were under the same conditions except that 
there were only 25 targets, and the entrance fee was .$2. Le Roy 
won first money, and Griffith second in both of these events. 
The fourth extra was at 10 pairs, and Le Roy again 'took first 
place with a score of 17, and W. Barstow second with 15 breaks.

Gardner — Leominster — Filchburg. 
Aug. 6. —The fourth of the series of six shoots between Gardner, 
Leominster and Fitchburg was pulled off yesterday afternoon. 
It proved to be a beautiful day. The trap worked well. Every 
one seemed to' be feeling finely. Quite a number of ladies were 
present. This in itself is enough to inspire any crowd to do its 
best. It also proves that trapshooting, conducted properly, is one 
of the best and cleanest of sports. During the four shoots there 
has not been anything said or done to mar the good-fello\Vship of 
these gatherings. 
This, as usual, was very interesting from start to finish. The 
first half proved a tie between Gardner and Fitchburg, with 
Leominster a little in the rear. Each one realized that it was be- 
tween Gardner and Fitchburg, and every bird must count. 
Garder proved the better, for this day at least, and led Fitchburg 
11 birds at the close. 
This was a case where the unexpected happened, and the "bell ■ 
cow" of the Fitchbvirg team went astray and rolled up a score of 
37 instead of 46 or 48, as usual; but lightning very seldom strikes 
twice in the same place, and we propose to even up matters at the 
next shoot. 
The total number of birds broken in the four shoots is as fol- 
lows: Fitchburg 814j_ Gardner 809, Leominster 781. 
This still leaves Fitchburg 5 to the good; but this -will be a 
dead game race for the two concluding shoots between Gardner 
and this club. May the team that can smash the most clays win 
the cup ! 
Gardner.

Trap at Charlottesville, Va. 
Charlottesville, Va., Aug. 10.— The second annual merchandise 
shoot of the Charlottesville Gun Club and the University of 
yirginia Gun Club was well attended, over fifty shooters participat- 
ing in the different events. The tournament was held on Aug. 7. 
The targets were thrown at a high degree of speed. A dark back- 
ground also militated against high scores. 
From the neighboring towns of Richmond, Lynchburg, Staunton, 
iMewport News, Washington, D. C, came trapshooters who en- 
joyed thCimselves well, and expressed themselves as being pleased 
with the tournament. Mr. Franklin Stearns, of Richmond, Va., 
won the Take-down gun in the merchandise event with a score of 
23 out of 25, and thereupon, with fine generosity, presented it to 
the home team, to be shot for under the same conditions, 50 cents 
entry, the proceeds to be held by the local team. This was decided 
m the next two regular events at 15 targets each, and was won with 
a. score of 28 out of 30 by Mr. G. L. Buffey. 
The manufacturers' agents who were present were of great assist- 
ance to the management, and the local team expresses its thanks to 
them:

tepees, and will furnish entertainment to wives and children of 
visiting sportsmen." 
Mr. F. C. Riehl, as Grand Scribe, has written some poetry for the 
occasion, m keeping with the legendary theme, under four heads 
namely, "The Summons," "The Roster," "The Conclave," and 
■'Ihe Retreat," the two latter of which are presented herewith: 
The Conclave. 
Now are the Indians once again 
Encamped on Okoboji's shore. 
Proud of^ their heritage as when 
Their prototypes, in days of yore. 
Assembled at the Chieftain's call 
Beneath the soft September moon, 
To count their trophies, and recall 
What blessings mark the tribal boon. 
E'en so we meet, in friendly strife 
Where dusky warriors once essayed • 
The conquests of the hunter's life, 
By tests of valor undismayed. 
And ve, as they, each to his time, 
Wielding the weapons of his art. 
Are spurred by Fame's resistless chime 
To struggle for the victor's part. 
So, too, when all the lists are done. 
Within the wigwam of the chief. 
We make returns of honcrs won. 
And find in feasting glad relief. 
Mark each responding to his name, 
A score of earnest, manly men. 
All tried and true, well known to fame, 
And happy to be here again. 
The Retreat. 
Thus having met with friendly zest, 
We welcome gladly every guest 
To join in the heroic fray. 
And all the pleasures of the day. 
And when the moon's first shadows wake 
The twilight phantoms of the lake. 
The camp-fire marks a joyous throng 
Wrapt in the warmth of light and song; 
While gay pappooses, unrestrained, 
Engage in warfare ably feigned, 
And loving squaws with graces sweet 
Bring cheer to make the hour complete. 
Such is our greeting, ve who read; 
The lists are clear, the feast is set; 
Come, then, and share the warrior's meed! 
We want you with us! Don't forget! 
The Forest and Stream is put to press each week on Tuesday.
