The Ottawa Tottmament* 
The three days' tournament of the Dominion of Canada Trap 
bhootmg and Game Protective Association lield Aug. 15, IS and 
17, at Ottawa, on tlie grounds of the St. Hubert Gun Club, had a 
large attendance and strong support. 
Concerning it, Mr. W. H. Hayes, treasurer of the St. H. G. C, 
writes us as follows: "We have succeeded in starting something 
here which will do more to advance trap shooting in Canada than 
anything ever done heretofore. When our association was or- 
ganized last spring one of 5'our papers, the Tribune, I think it 
was, had some fun with our name, claiming it to be contradictory. 
Now, we conduct trap shooting, likewise wc try and intend to 
keep on trying to protect the game, by having laws improved and 
existing laws properly enforced, and I can assure vou there is 
need of it. Is there anything contradictory in that? ' 
Probably the most interesting event of the tournament was the 
team match for the "Mail Trophy," which was in possession of 
the St. Hubert Gun Club of Ottawa and was won twice by that 
organization before the present win. The cup was originally pre- 
sented to the Ontario -Trap Shooting Association, which is not 
now m existence. It really belongs to the club, but the members 
of the St. Hubert organization considered that bv putting up the 
trophy for competition again it would additionally stimulate trap 
shooting in Canada. In doing this the club has acted in a de- 
cidedly sportsmanlike manner. 
The annual meeting of the Dominion of Canada Trap Shooting 
and Game Protective Association was held at the Plotel Cecil, 
officers being elected and other business transacted. Following 
are the new officers: President, T. A. Duff, Toronto; first vice- 
president, C. Strangman, Montreal; second vice-president, F. 
Westbrook, Brantford; secretary-treasurer, A. W. Throop, Ottawa- 
committee, T. Upton, Haraihon; G. J. Mitchell, Brantford; R. 
Fleming, Toronto; Dr. Overholt, Hamilton; C. G. Thompson, 
Sherbrooke, Que.; W. H. Hayes, Ottawa; R. B. Hutchison, West- 
mount, Montreal. 
Hamilton was selected ,as' the place where the tournament will 
be held next year and under the auspices of the Plamilton Gun 
Club. It was decided that the secretary of the club under the 
auspices of which the annual tournament is to be held will act as 
assistant to the secretary-treasurer of the association. The usual 
votes of thanks were passed. 
. General satisfaction is expressed by the trap shooters from out- 
side places at the way in which matters are being handled, and 
Messrs. A. W. Throop and W. Hayes, of the St. Hubert's Gun 
Club, who are two of the local men working hard to make things 
a success are coming in for lots of praise. 
At the meeting of the trap shooters the work of these two gen- 
tlemen was referred to in complimentary terms. 
First Day, Aug. 15. 
Though the conditions were not the best, the wind and light - 
being detrimental to the highest scores, the day's shooting pro- 
duced some very satisfactory results. Some of the best trap 
shooters in the Dominion were present, as well as many well- 
known marksmen from the United States. An easterly wind 
facing the trap yesterday raised the birds rather high, and thus 
deceived some of the trap shooters. There was no sunshine either 
during the day, and the light was, therefore, deceptive. Ten 
events were on the programme for the initial day, brit only nine 
were finished owing to a late start. 
In event No. 6, at 15 targets, the possible was broken by W, J. 
Spangler, of Columbus, O., and N. G. Bray, of Sherbrooke. In 
.event No. 1, at 15 birds, P. Trudeau, Ottawa, made the possible. 
A. W. Throop, Capt. Higginson and Trudeau also made very good 
scores in some of the other events, though the handicap system, 
which puts the cracks back to 19, 20 and 21 yards, evened matters 
up pretty much.

• Second Day, Aug. J6. 
The second day produced some excellent sport, and the clay 
pigeons were broken freely and satisfactorily. The wind was very 
high and blowing across the traps and made the shooting some- 
what uncertain. Twelve events were shot off, including two 
matches left over from Monday, and in several of the matches 
possibles were made. There were four guaranteed purses of $50 
each shot for in yesterday's events. 
J. S. Fanning, the noted American wing shot, of New York, 
is taking part in the tournament. He holds a record of 230 bltfe 
rocks straight. 
Fred Westbrooke, of Brantford, is also another good shot.

Third Day, Attg. 17, 
The principal event was the team competition for the handsome 
' Mail trophy, which has been in the keeping of the St. liubert's 
Gun Club of Ottawa for several years, and which, under the old 
challenge system, they have always been able to hold. This year, 
in recognition of haying the honor of conducting the first tour- 
nament of the association, the club hung up the big trophy to 
be competed for by any teams that saw fit to enter, and the result 
was a spirited competition, in which the holders defeated Brant- 
ford by three birds only. When the teams had shot half the 
match, that is, 25 birds each, the St. Huberts were eight birds 
ahead, and their stock went up. Brantford made a plucky fight, 
as may be judged from the fact that they reduced this lead of 
eight birds by five. That the team of the winners was admirably 
chosen may be seen by a glance at the scores, there being only 
two points difference between the highest and lowest score, whereas 
there were nine points in the Brantford team, fifteen in Westmount 
and thirteen in Hamilton. The conditions and resjjjlt of the match 
were : 
Entrance $15 per team, 5 men teams, squad shooting, rapid fire, 
Magautrap, 16 yards rise.

Mississippi Valley Notes. 
It has been said that the splendid sport of shooting at the trap 
is not gaining in favor in proportion to the growth of other 
modern outdoor sports. It has been the writer's fortune during 
the present season to manage and participate in many so-called 
"grand tournaments" in the smaller towns of Illinois, and from 
experience thus gleaned I am inclined to question the truth of 
(he statement above cited. Perhaps the recent international 
matches shot by our representative experts in England and Scot- 
land have done m.uch toward directing attention to and popular- 
izing the sport here at home, but certainly I have witnessed the 
debut since the first of June of several score of new faces at the 
score, and might designate many who have embraced the pas- 
time with much zeal and enthusiasm. 
Perhaps I can best make this clear by citmg a tournament held 
on August 17 by the A B C Club, of Kampsville. 111. This is 
within the precincts of Calhoun, the one county in_ Illinois yet 
without railroad, telegraph or express office, and while it is rich 
in natural resources and blessed with a thrifty and intelhgent 
citizenship, trap shooting is as yet in its incjpency within the 
borders of the "Kingdom." 
It was a bold thing for the committee to undertake a public 
tournament, therefore, and not without misgiving did the writer go 
there in the role of general factotum for the occasion. However, 
the shoot proved in every particular a pronounced success, as the 
scores below submitted will show. A heavy rainstorm coming up 
just at noon put an abrupt stop to the sport, but few of the so- 
called big tournaments of the year have been able to show a 
roster of forty names of active participants. From all parts of the 
county they came, men of all ages and with guns of all gauges, 
from 8 to 16, and of ancient and modern make. Nobody and no 
gun was barred, no handicaps were suggested and the sweeps 
were advertised as open to the world. Pin-fire and brass shells 
were in evidence, and black powder was so largely in pre- 
dominance that it was frequently necessary to defer shooting 
"until the clouds rolled by." If a vote had been taken as to the 
relative merits of black and nitro powder, sentiment would have 
been overwhelmingly in favor of the former. Races were all 
at ten targets and moneys distributed under the Jack Rabbit 
Septum as being best adapted to the circumstances; and what a 
picnic it would have been for some of the old-timers to participate, 
full-fledged in the game. Yet they invited any to come and will 
do so again in anotlier meet to be held at Hardin early in the fall. 
In consideration of the low average scores it must be remembered

that many of these men had never before seen or thought of 
shooting at any flying object other than the game and wild fowl 
of their own fields and marshes. I append the scores:

the present holder of the Calhoun championship medal for Tving 
shooting. 
Life nowadays woiild. become indeed cOmmonrilace and insipid 
v.'ere it not for the occasional parentheses of quiet humor which 
the chronicler puts in between paragraphs. Here's one on two 
very renowned and genial gentlemen who, recently coming out of 
the effete East, have taken up their abode among us, to wit: W. 
Fred Ouimby and Harold B. Money. Having established them,- 
selves firmly in the good will of the community and incidentally 
kept up same practice, the story goes that they one day chal- 
lenged two local men for a match. New York against Illinois, at 
fifty targets per man. Details are not furnished, but report hath 
it that the challenging parties left the field at least ten birds to 
the bad. 
Mr. E. H. Ford, one of the energetic yolmg men identified for 
the past several years with the ammunition and powder business 
of the West, has resigned his position with the Western Cart- 
ridge Co., to become general manager of a new powdjsr manufac- 
turing plant in Indiana.

Toar to the Pacific Coast. 
ANOTHtJR OPfORTUNITV TO VISIT CALIFORNIA UNDER TUB AUSPICES OF 
THe PENNSYLVANIA RAlLROAb's PERSONALLY CONDITCI ED SYSTEM, 
In view of the great popularity of transcontinental travel under 
the Personally Conducted System, as evinced in the recent Penn- 
sylvania Railroad Tour to the Pacific Coast and Canadian North- 
west, that company has decided to run another tour to the Pacific 
Coast, including in the itinerary a visit to the world-famous Grand 
Canon of Arizona, in the early fall. The tour will leave New 
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, and other stations on 
the Pennsylvania Railroad east of Pittsburg, on Monday, Septem- 
ber 2-j, and reach New York on the homeward trip Tuesday, 
October 22. 
As in former tours to California under the auspices of the 
Pennsylvania Railroad, a special train, composed of the highest 
class of Pullman equipment, will be utilized during the entire 
trip. Excellent meals will be served in the dining cars attached' 
to the train during the entire journey, except during the stops at 
San Francisco and in Chicago. An observation car will appeal 
to all who delight in scenery. Few trips afford so great a diver- 
sity in Nature's beauties as the one outlined below. Westward 
boxind, the tourists will pass through the w'ld slopes of the 
Colorado Rockies,^ around the Great Salt _ Lake, and over the 
fastnesses of the Sierra Nevada, After visiting all the beautiful 
resort-^ on the sun,ny California slopes, the eastward journey will 
be through the Arizona desert to the Grand Canon of Arizona. 
Its beauties cannot be painted in mere words. Magnificent in 
coloring, awful in its depths, it stands among the natural wonders 
of the world. Thence across the plains to St. Louis, and eastward 
through Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, the tourists 
reach their destination just thirtj' days after leaving home. 
The various transcontinental lines having made low rates on 
account of the General Triennial Convention of the Protestaint 
Episcopal Church, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company is enabled 
to offer this superb vacation trip at the low rate of $185 for the 
round trip from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, 
or any point on Pennsylvania Railroad east of Pittsburg, one in a 
berth; and $165 for the round trip, two persons occupying the 
same berth. The rate from Pittsburg wUl be $5 less. 
Diagrams are now open, ^d as the number who can be ac- 
comm'odated wiU be strictly limited, names should be registered 
immediately.

Street Station, Philadelphia.— .i^df.
