Peru, Ind., Aug. 31.— One of the most successful tournaments 
ever held in Indiana was the Bass Lake tournament, given under 
the auspices of the Peru Gun Club, on Aug. 21 and 22, 190L The 
tournament was held on the grounds of the Peru Hunting and 
Fishing Club, at Bass Lake, which grounds are especially fitted 
by nature for the holding of such an event. It is covered with 
most beautiful trees and carpeted with a rich growth of blue 
grass, while the score, facing the lake, gives a clear foreground 
of a mile and a half, so there is no losing of targets on account 
of a tree or other obstruction with which so many good shooting 
grounds are cursed and cannot help themselves, on account of these 
obstructions being outside their grounds. The Peru club house 
is a most comfortable affair, having a wide porch running around 
three sides, which porch made a most excellent lounging place 
for the shooters between events. The score around the Sergeant 
system of traps was for the greater part of the day in the shade 
of the trees, and as the traps worked nicely, everything went off 
most satisfactorily to the participants and the management. Those 
in attendance were as follows: 
Ernest H. Tripp, John W. Cooper and familv, of Indianapolis; 
H. W. Cadwalader, Danville, 111.; Geo. A. Elliott, F. H. Cornelius, 
E. L. Southard, C. Anderson, James Downs, Ed. Feiser, Dr. M. 
Wilson and R. Sperling, of Rochester; C. M. Townsend, Sid A.

daughter. Miss Bessie, W. D. Hart, Seward Leightner and A. W. 
Keeny, of Crown Point, Ind.; Mr. and Mrs. Marc W. Reed, of

Thursday, Aug. 22, Second Day. 
The second day showed something of a falling off in the at- 
tendance, as is quite natural where there are so many new shoot- 
ers, but still the entries hovered around the twenty mark, making, 
indeed, a very good shoot. The weather continued fine, but 
within ten minutes after the last shot had been fired in the last 
event the rain came down in torrents, but as evervone was 
tlirough shooting, they scattered to the hotels, etc., for shelter, 
where the scores and incidents were talked over until the various 
participants departed to their homes, thus ending a very pleasant 
affair. The scores:

Notes. 
The Knox and Rochester gun clubs did themselves proud in 
point of attendance, and from the performance of some of their 
-shooters they are sure to develop some splendid shots. As it now 
is. with one or two exceptions, both of these clubs are composed 
of entirely new beginners, but they displayed a willingness to 
stay that speaks well for their future. 
Rolla O. Heikes, daddy of them all, brown as a berry and just 
from a nice, little rest at his St. Clair Flats Farm, where he 
' raises "plenty black bass" in his back yard and plenty fine peaches 
in his front yard, was certainly in fine form. Pop had a run of 
77 straight on the first day, and as these old targets were sailing 
out about 55 to (50 yds. the performance was certainly worth see- 
ing. Pop was, of course, shooting fur the targets, as he was the 
only manufacturers' agent present, but that was all right with 
Rolla. He met a lot of new shooters, and that's where they do 
Ihp most good. 
Krnest IT. Tripp was attending his first tournament since his re- 
turn from abroad with the American team. He was in great form, 
and finished only one target behind Rolla for the general aver- 
age. The way this man smashes targets, and at the same time 
keeps a crowd of shooters and spectators in a good humor is 
pleasing to see. If j^ou don't know Ernie you have something 
yet to live for. He is a simon pure amateur, shoots solely for

pleasure and the association which it brings, and even those who 
have known him longest are ever guessing as to what he will 
do next, as he is most original in his fun. 
H. W. Cadwallader, "Cad," of Danville, was third for general 
average, and was as usual, in good form. It looked for a time as 
though Cad were going to beat everyone except Rolla, but Ernie 
Tripp gat a gait on him the second day and passed Cad by four 
targets. By the way, Ernie was not the only thing that passed 
Cad. If you are well armed ask Cad how far he missed the 
steamer the next morning. 
Capt. John W. Cooper, of the Limited Club of Indianapolis, 
was a welcome participant. The captain had been at the lake a 
couple of weeks with his family, and, of course, sent for his gun. 
For one entirely out of practice, he shot very well indeed. 
J. N. Schaefer, "Joe the Dutchman," is a mighty nice man to 
have at a shoot. Joe never has a kick, takes what is coming to 
him and thoroughly enjoys every minute of the tournaments. He 
keeps hammering away until he makes a straight, too, as his 
scores will show. His kind are always welcome. 
The Huntington Club was well represented by Old Reliable M. 
J. Smith, Secretary Ed. Robinson and O. P. Muckley, one of 
their new shooters. By the way, some of the boys are talking of 
getting up a ten-round' bout between Ed. Robinson, of Hunting- 
ton, and Ed. Rike, of Dayton. The latter weighs about 340 
pounds and Robinson weighs nearer 40 than he does 340. He is 
a nervy little cuss, and if he keeps on will make a dangerous man 
with a gun. Pie is about the size, of Tod Sloan, who makes quite 
a showing with the gun, but it is dollars to doughnuts that the 
midget from Huntington can skin him at the target game. 
The "game cocks" from Warren, Ind., Charlie and Ed. Foust, 
were very much in evidence. Ed. Foust is developing into one of 
Indiana's very best target shots, and he is not afraid of the biggest 
game that flies. These boys are to have a tournament on Sept, 11 
and 12. Their club is a member of the Indiana League, and they 
will give a fine shoot. Everyone within any reasonable distance 
should attend. 
Dr. Senour and L. R. Balheim, of Troy, came a long way and 
brought their families, but they found a good shoot, and we hope 
to see them next year. They were welcome visitors. 
Merrill Talbot, of Indianapolis, an old Peru boy, or rather a 
young Peru boy, was cashier. He is at present visiting at the 
lake with his n\other, they having a fine cottage at the north end, 
and there is generally something doing in a social way about their 
home. 
When it developed on the morning of the first day that there 
were too many entries for one man to handle with ease at the 
cash box, Mrs. J. L. Head dropped her duties as entertainer in 
chief and ably assisted Mr. Talbot. While the lady is entirely 
unaccustomed to such work, she kept her head admirably, and 
always had a pleasant word for the boys. She says she rather 
enjoyed the work, as she in this way had an opportunity to meet 
all the boys, and she is a friend to her husband's friends. A man 
that handles a gun is sure to meet with courteous treatment from 
this lady. 
It was rather amusing to hear the young ladies visiting Jim 
Head's family comment upon the shooters. These j-oung ladies 
brought up within the strictest confines of society, had little idea 
that a gathering of shooters differed from any other gathering of 
sports. Their minds were soon disabused. Such exclamations of 
surprise at the gentlemanly bearing, courteous treatment of a 
■ competitor, and lack' of boisterousness certainly won their ad- 
miration. These girls captured Pop Heikes, Ernie Tripp and one 
or two others of the married men who are old enough to be their 
father.q and certainly made them feel at home. 
The Crown Point gentlemen and Miss Bessie Hart were welcome 
visitors. Miss Bessie is not only a most accomplished young lady, 
but is one of the most acurate scorers in the countrv. She had 
not long been on the grovmds when she was pressed into service. 
She said she rather felt at home. Too bad their stay was limited 
to the first day. 
Charlie Townsend, of Knox, just got into the game in time to 
warm his feet again. The boys have at last discovered a man who 
can break them all when he wants to. Charlie Townsend goes to 
more tournaments just in time to get in a race where there is no 
straight and breaks it oftener than any man in this .country. He 
has done this no less than half a dozen times, to the certain 
knowledge of the writer, within the past twelve or fifteen months. 
He just got to this shoot in time for event three, broke straight, 
being about the last man to enter, and collared a nice, fat purse 
of about $15. He would have repeated the performance the second 
day and been alone in his first event of the day had not Capt. 
Cooper borrowejd some of Jim Head's good loads and broke 
straight also. 
William Daniels, of Peru, shot the programme through from 
start to finish, and did very well indeed for a beginner. Will had 
a good time and is a sportsman from the ground up. 
The Macy, Ind., Boys are new ones, but they are beginning to 
■ practice with the Peru Club, and their scores will improve. 
Plugh Clark, of Wabash, always has a good time at the Lake 
shoot. He brought along Mrs. Clark and the babies this time 
and made a week of it. Hugh was not in his usual good form as a 
shooter, but as a gentleman he is always in splendid fettle. 
The veteran. Abner T. Hetfield, honest as the day is long, came 
over from North Judson and acted as referee. He was very satis- 
factory to the shooters, and thoroughly enjoyed the visit w'ith the 
old timers, Heikes, Cad and Tripp. 
Upon behalf of the Peru Gun Club, the writer desires to ex- 
press to each shooter in attendance our appreciation of his pres- 
ence, whether he shot in one event or all of them. We endeavored 
to treat all alike and to make the occasion one of pleasure to all. 
Again thanking you, we are, the Peru Gun Club. 
Frank S. Dunbar, Secretary.

The Ofcoboji Toufnaments. 
Annual Amateur Shoot at Arnold's Patk. 
A noble meet of royal cheer, 
The greatest, gamest of thf year. 
When it was announced some months ago that Charlie Budd 
and Ferd. Whitney, of Des Moines, would manage and conduct 
the annual Iowa amateur tournament at Arnold's Park, Aug. 27 
to 30, every follower of the traps in the middle West at once 
made up his mind that here was" a meet that would be worth 
going many miles to .attend, and when Elmer Hinshaw, of Oko- 
boji. became a colaborer in the enterprise, they further strength- 
ened their position. These names are synonymous with all that 
signifies good sportsmanship in the grand old State of Iowa, and 
this week has added freshness to the laurels of many previous 
achievements. 
Okoboji is a beautiful place at any time of year, and especially 
so in these later summer days, when the air is always fresh and 
wholesome, and the nights breathe the coolness of delightful 
slumbers. The shooting range was well selected, on the exact 
site of last year's tournaments. Two sets of expert traps, ar- 
ranged on the Sergeant system, spun the targets from the shore 
line far out over the clear, blue waters of the lake, with miles 
of its glimmering surface for a background. The score line, 16yds. 
back, came just on the north side of a grove of natural timber, 
affording excellent shade during most of the day. Tables, gun 
racks, benches and cashier's stand were closely grouped at a 
point central between the two sets of traps, and many little de- 
tails of comfort and convenience of participants and guests, the 
little things that bespeak thoughtful management, and make the 
true success of a tournament, were everywhere in evidence. 
Mr. Whitney masterfully conducted the office, while Messrs. 
Budd and Whitney managed the outside^ work, assisted by those 
of the Indians who were present in anticipation of their annual 
tournament and pow-wow on the following week. 
The programme was a business-like proposition, carrying 200 
targets each day to the man, $5 and $7.50 added in fifteen and 
twenty-bird events, respectively. Added money was oft'ered ag- 
gregating $65, in ten purses, besides two cups for amateurs, and 
one for e.xperts shooting the programme. 
This was .-in amateur shoot, but the management adopted a lib- 
eral policy, designating as professionals only those paid experts 
who follow the circuit exclusively as demonstrators of the merits 
of the various guns and ammunition represented. 
Monday Aug. 26— A Little Practice. 
By way of sizing up the flight of the targets, about thirty-five 
of the early arrivals indulged in a series of fifteen-bird preliminary 
sweeps Monday afternoon. It was a fine, fair day, with not a 
rijiple on the lake. Fred Gilbert led the list, with about 97 per 
cent, of breaks, while Hughes and Burnside were but a trifle 
behind, and the common work was well in the 90's, About 3,000 
birds were trapped. 
First Day, Aug. 27. 
The tournament opened to-day in good, sober earnest, and 
though many had made up their minds that this would be a 
shooting match of the good, old-fashioned type, no one expected 
the crowd of shooters that came from all quarters of the conti- 
nent, until Fred Whitney's record sheet showed eighty-eight 
names for the day. The weather was fine, but a brisk lake breeze 
started early and continued to have fun with the targets all day 
at the expense of the shooters' scores. It being the first day, the 
start was a little late, but from 10 A. M. to 6:30 P. M. there was 
no stop save a brief interval at noon, and when the last gun 
was fired the targets shot at and scored had made a new rec- 
ord for two sets of expert traps, operated on the Sergeant system. 
Crosbjj and Dan Bray tied for the high average, with 95.5 per 
cent., with Hughes and Kline second and third. The scores are
