Third Day. Aug. 29. 
The wind took a hand in the game to-day and injected a flavor 
into the pot that played particular smash with the stew. It blew 
a _well-deveIoped gale from the northwest, coming across five 
rniles of open water and striking the targets fairly in the face. 
This was particularly hard upon the shooters using light loads 
and shot, and many scores were disastrously punctuated with what, 
in the terse language of the circuit, ig coRimonly designated as 
"goose eggs." - ' 
In the face of these difficulties, however, the work of a few 
men, and particularly of W. R. Crosby, comes out in striking re- 
lief. The wizard of the scatter gun dropped btit four targets all 
day, and finished with 98 per cent. But three birds behind him, 
though, came Gilbert, for the professionals. Of the amateurs, 
Hughes was high with fourteen lost, while Holden lost fifteen and 
Kline and Burnside sixteen each. Targets trapped for the day, 
12,000, The score:

Fourth Day, Aug. 30, 
A perfect combination of weather attended the closing of this 
remarkable tournament to-day. Better scores were made all 
through, and the average mark was well above 90 per cent. 
The attendance held up remarkably well to the very last shot, 
there being fifty-four names on the roll for the 'hiv, and 10,000 
targets were consumed. Fred Gilbert, whose mark has consistently 
improved all week, came to the top with the best score, .975 per 
cent. It must be said right here that good fellowship and 
cordiality characterized this tournament throughout. Every one 
came with the determination of having a good time, and carried out 
the intention in fact.

Averages and Trophies. 
In the summing up of grand total averages for the four days' 
mark W. R. Crosby is found to have the lead by eleven birds, 
and he captures the elegant silver trophy cup given by the man- 
agement to the professional making the best score, and Gilbert 
comes second with 94 average, H. C. Hirschv third witli 93 and 
l-"rank Parmelee fourth with 90 flat. Among the amateurs, Holden 
captured first, Crathcup second, Hughes third, Bray fourth, Kline 
fifth. White sixth, Burnside seventh, Linderman eighth, Wittleaf 
ninth and Rogers tenth. 
The figures follow: 
Scott 92, Kline 91, Burnside 92, Hughes 90, Parmelee 94 Gilbert

The last and one of the most interesting features of the long 
programme was the shoot-off at 50 targets per man to decide the 
ownership of the two splendid cups given to "the class of 85 and 
over and that under 85 per cent. In the first race Linn Hinshaw 
of Okoboji, was the only man scoring 25 over each set of traps, but 
having some numbers on the programme he was ineligible to 
compete for the cup. 
The next highest score was 49, made by Guy Burnside and J. H. 
Hughes, and the shoot-off at 25 targets per man required 300 rnore 
targets for each before the contest was decided in favor of the 
Wisconsin man. It was as pretty a race as one would wish to see 
and both men are to be congratulated on the work they did. ' 
The contest for the second cup also resulted in a tie Ijetween 
Gittings and Clark, on 46. In the shoot-off at 50 targets the 
former won. The scores: 
Over 85 per cent, class, 25 targets over each set traps. 
Under 85 per cent class, 25 birds over each set traps.

Rhode Island State Shoot* 
Inclosed you will please find the complete scores of Rhode 
Island's first annual State shoot, held on the grounds of the 
Pascoag Gun Club; also a short account of the shoot, which I 
thought you might like to publish. The programme consisted of 
175 targets, divided into 10, 15 and 20 target events, including a 
50-target three-man team race and a 50-target individual race for 
the State championship for the year ensuing. The attendance was 
very good, considering the threatening weather, and everything 
was carried off in a very successful manner. Nearly 200 spectators, 
many of whom were of the fairer sex, enjoyed watching the sport. 
The honors remained with the home club, as the Pascoag team 
won the team race and E. C. Griffith, treasurer of the club, and 
winner of both the Grand American Handicaps this year, won the 
State championship and a solid gold medal of appropriate design. 
Mr. Griffith was closely pressed by Getchell, who recently went to 
Europe with the American team, and Mills, of Woonsocket. 
Shooters seldom meet to shoot targets without also shooting 
craps— our shoot was no exception to the rule. All seemed to 
enjoy the day, and will look forward to our second annual with a 
great deal of interest, 
Nos. 4, 5 and 6 were the team race; Nos. 9, 10 and 11 were the 
championship race, each at 50 targets: 
Individual race: Griffith 46, Getchell 45, Inman 43, Bain 42, 
Mills 45, Francotte 41, Darling 36, Campbell 34.

Birch Brook Gun CI«b, 
Lynn, Mass., Sept. 4.— The all-day shoot of the Birch Brook 
Gun Club on Labor Day was a success from start to finish. Vis- 
itors were present from Boston, Lowell, Amesburv and Haverhill, 
Mass. The regular programme consisted of twelve events, 160 
targets, m which Horace Kirkwood was high gun, Hilliard second, 
Collins third, Capt. Allen fourth and Tozier fifth. Nos. 7, 8, 9 
and 10 made up the prize event, in which ffrst, a sole leather gun 
case, went to Capt. Allen; second, a shooting blouse, to Lovering, 
and third, a Powers cleaning rod, to Hilliard. After the programme 
was finished, the regular club medal event was won by Everett 
with 20 straight. Other events were also shot, but do not appear 
m the summary. All events were at unknown angles, from magau- 
trap. Thirty-five shooters participated, and 4,380 targets were 
thrown--a very fair showing, as shooting did not begin until 
nearly 11 o clock, and all were on the way home at 5:30, The
