VitginisL State Shoot. 
The second annual tournament of the Virginia State Sportsmen's 
Association, which was held at Richmond, Va., Sept. 2-4, was a 
most successful shoot from every point of view, and cannot fail to 
help the sport of trapshooting in that State. The tournament was 
held under the auspices of the West End Gun Club, of Richmond, 
of which organization Franklin Stearns, Jr., was president, and 
-Mr. J. C. Tignor the secretary-treasurer. 
The programme was a good one for State shooters, and naturally 
attracted a large number of contestants. On the first day there 
were 110 shooters who took part in the different events, of whom 
74 .shot through the entire programme of 150 targets, exclusive of 
the team race. Altogether just about 19,000 targets were thrown on 
this day, four sets of traps being used. 
On the second day the attendance did not fall oft much, there 
being 90 shooters on hand, 73 of that number shooting through 
the programme of 150 targets, exclusive of the 100-target champion- 
ship race, for which there were 30 entries from the State, a few 
outsiders shooting along in preference to sitting around looking on. 
About 18,000 targets in all were thrown on the second day, making 
a grand total for the two days of about 37,000 targets— a truly 
gratifying showing to the home management. 
The shoot was under the management of Jack Parker, who had 
his hands full keeping everything going, particularly on the fir.st 
day, when tlie State team championship event, which was No. 5 
on the programme, broke up the squads and prevented him getting 
along with the next events, although he had two sets of traps 
lj;ing almost idle. With such a hindrance to combat, Mr. Parker 
did well to run off the lengthy programme before it got too dark 
to see a target, although some of the squads did finish in a rather 
uncertain light, to say the least of it. 
In the cashier's office Mr. P. S. Brine had charge of the entry 
book, took in the cash, paid it out, and wrote up the squad tickets. 
Mr. J. F. Stearns received the squad cards when filled out with 
the scores made, and made up the sweeps, issuing orders on Mr 
Brine for moneys due the respective contestants. Mr. Robert F 
Banks had charge of the tabulating of the scores, and was re- 
sponsible for the disposition of the merchandise prizes, of which 
there were never less seven in any one event. In addition to the 
above work there was a sheet of tabulated scores posted up outside 
the cashier's office, which had to be kept up to date in order that 
Uk- shooters themselves might see how they came out in the race 
for merchandise prizes. And these same merchandise trophies 
were not awarded to the "high guns," but were divided "class 
shooting," all ties being shot off in the next event! As some ties 
ran along through three or four events (and in the case of the 
late events on the programme for the first day were carried over 
until die second day) it can easily be seen that the correct allot- 
ing of the prizes was no cinch. With some outside assistance, Mr. 
Banks managed to get along all right, but had little time to waste 
on sharpening pencils, etc- 
As proof that the Lynchburg contingent thought well of the 
office force it may be mentioned here that all the gentlemen who 
occupied positions in the cashier's office this year were engaged 
en masse by the management of the Lynchburg Gun Club, under 
whose auspices the third annual tournament of the State Associa- 
tion will be held on Labor Day, 1902. Jack Parker has also been 
requested to be on hand to manage that tournament. 
It "Was an Amateur Shoot. 
Notwithstanding the fact that there were as many as liO shooters 
taking part on the first day, there were only 10 manufacturers' 
agents present, or, rather, 11, if wc include the manager, T; 
Parker, of the Peters Cartridge Co. The others were: Col. A. 
J G. Courtney, of the Remington Arms Company; H. P. Collins and 
B. Leroy Woodard, of the Dupont Company; L. D. Thomas and 
J. S. Fanning of the Laflin & Rand Company; John S. Sanders 
(not shooting) and C. M. Lincoln, of the U. M. C. Company; A. 
H, Fox and (on the second day) J. Hildreth, of the W. R. A. 
Company; Edward Banks, of the American E. C. & Schultze Gun- 
powder Company. 
While Mr. Sanders did not shoot, he was a host in himself when 
it came to squad hustling and keeping things moving generallv. 
In fact all the rrianufacturers' representatives turned to with a wi'll 
and did stunts in the way of squad hustling, refereeing, etc., that 
were a source of much satisfaction to Jack Parker. 
But the shoot was an amateurs' shoot, over 100 beintr on hand 
The bulk of them came from within the confines of the State, as 
was only natural, there being but slight inducements for out- 
side shooters to come in. Dr. Wilson from Savannah, Col, T. 
Martin from Bluffton, S. C, and Hood Waters from Baltimore 
v,ere the most conspicuous among those from outside the State. 
First Day, Sept. 2. 
The chief feature on this day's programme was the team race 
for the club championship of the Slate at targets. The conditions 
■were teams of five men, .50 targets per man, or 250 to the team. 
Eleven teams entered and competed, the team reoresenting the 
West End Gun Club, of Richmond, winning, hands down, dupli- 
cating the same club's victory in 1900, and thus gaining two legs 
on the championship trophy, which has to be won three times by 
the same club before becoming its property. This year the West 
Endcrs ran up a total of 225 out of 250, an average of just 90 
per cent. 
The teams from Lynchburg and from W>theville, the latter 
captained by R, L. Peirce, were both touted as dark 'horses, but 
neither of them showed to advantage, second place falling to an- 
other Richmond club, the East End Gun Club, an organization 
only_ a few weeks of age. This team broke 204, Wytheville's team 
scoring 203. Two teams of outsiders shot along, but neither of 
them came anywhere near the West End's total, a team made up 
of Fanning, Banks, Fox, Leroy and Lincoln being nearest to 
them with 211 breaks. The scores of the teams are as below:

The winners of merchandise prizes on the first day are given 
below. No man could win more than four prizes on any one day,

An amusing incident in connection with the distribution of the 
above merchandise prizes was Mr. Hammond's win in the second 
event, in which he took fourth prize. Turning to the list of prizes 
he found that he had won a pair of shoes, those same shoes having 
been won by him at last year's shoot, and being found to be too 
large for his remarkably small feet were redonated by him as a 
prize at this year's tournament. 
Second Day, Sept. 3. 
The weather was again quite warm, and a sharp thunderstorm at 
midday did not do much to cool things off; it did not last moi'e 
than a few minutes and scarcely delayed the shooting at all. 
This being the second day traps, trappers, etc., all worked 
more smoothly, and Jack Parker had less trouble all round 
Ninety shooters were successfully and pleasantly handled, and 
the nintli, the last, event was shot otJ in good time, although 
something like 18,0(30 targets were recorded as thrown from the 
four sets of traps. 
Individual State Championship. 
The main feature on the programme was the 100-target race, 
event No. 5, on which the individual championship of Virginia at 
targets rested. There were thirty-one entries, exclusive of some 
from outside the State, who wished along "for targets only." 
Franklin Stearns, Jr., again demonstrated that he can break 
targets with almost monotonous regularity, for he won the cham- 
pio.nship in a most hollow style, breaking 96 out of his 100. His 
nearest competitors for the championship were E. M. Daniel of 
Lynchburg, and H. K. Ellyson, Jr., of Richmond, each of whom 
broke 91; R. L. Peirce broke 90. W. A. Hammond, of Richmond 
and C. W. Scott, of Lynchburg, broke 86, and Mr. Sillings of 
Staunton, landed in seventh place with 84. Of the outsiders Fan- 
ning- broke 94. thus coming within 2 of Mr. .Stearns' tntnl 
In the programme events 73 shooters shot through'. Hood 
Waters, of Baltimore, and Edward Banks tieing for tirst place 
with 140 oul^of 150 shot at; J. S. Fanning and H. C. Boudar, the 
latter from Richmond, came next with 138 breaks. The scores m
