MontpcUcf Gisn Clttb* 
MoNTPELlER, Vt., Sept. 11,— The tournament here to-day Under 
the auspices of the Montpelier Gun Club was a glooiny affair, so 
far as weather was concerned. In all my experience iu trap- 
shooting I never saw or went through with more disagreeable con- 
ditions. The morning dawned with rain at intervals, t'nd under 
the pall of a black sky, and this continued all day, and to make 
matters worse a mist and fog hung over the valley in w'hich the 
grounds are situated, making it extremely difficult to see or gauge 
the flight of the birds from the swift expert traps set to the 
Sergeant system. Notwithstanding these distressing and de- 
pressing conditions, good nature and cheerfulness reigned su- 
preme while it rained o\ttside. They were a jolly lot of fellows, 
making the best of miserable surroundings for a day's shooting. 
Montpelier is a nice little town, the gem of Vermont, so Mont- 
pclier folks think, and I guess they are pretty nearly right. There 
ai'e a whole lot of go-aheaditiveness and steady-going among its 
citizens and represeniative men. Its streets, its private residences 
and public buildings are most attractive. Here, too, are found 
the New England pie, the baked bean and doughnut in their pris- 
tme beautv. Some time there will anoliier shoot here, w'hen tiie 
sun is shining. 
the attendance at this shoot included men from Chani|^ .. ., 
Swanton, Rouse's Point and Barre. and in event No. 9 teams made 
up from the above places competed for a silver f.\\p trophy, which 
was won by the Robin Hood men from Swanton. They used for 
most part the Robin Hood ammunition. The other teams used 
E. C, L. _& R. and Dupont. Mr. Barrett, of Montpelier, won 
the high average, using Dupont Smokeless. 
) t vvould be quite impossible to make personal mention of all the 
shooters present. 1 wish, however, to compliment Jifessrs. Walton 
and Barrett on their untiring efforts to conduct the tournament to 
fl successful close, and under the depressing weather conditions 
to be cheerful. 1 have the pleasure of specially mentioning Mr. 
)>^elton, who acted as referee the entire day, and preserved his 
temper, for in the vmcertain light and through the mists and fog, 
against a dark green background, it required not only good eye- 
sight and judgment but a whole lot of common sense. Ajj- 
pended are the scores:

Walfcerville Gun Clttb Tournament. 
Walkervii.i-e, Ont.—The VValkerville Gun Club held its fourth 
annual tournament on Labor Day, Sept. 2. The day was a perfect 
one for the enjoyment of the sport, and as usual with the VValker- 
ville (iun Club tournaments, there was a large attendance of shoot- 
ers from pomis in Ontario and Michigan. 
The programme consisted of nine sweepstake events of 140 tar- 
gets, besides a three- man team race. The silver loving cup offered 
for high average was won by \V. A. Smith, Kingsville, Ont., with 
a score of 124. The second high average prize, also a silver loving 
cup, was \Non by P. C. Wood, Detroit, after shooting oft" the tie 
with Husher, of that city. Both scored 122 and then proceeded to 
shoot ofi the tie. This proved the most exciting event of the day, 
as it required four consecutive events of 15 birds each to decide 
the winner, Wood finally winning by 1 bird. Husher took third 
prize, $3, ■« 
The team race was won by the Detroit teaTn with 41 out of 45, 
Walkerville being second with 37. The following are the scores:

F. II. Conover attended the shoot as the representative of Dupont 
Smokeless Powder Company, and was consequently barred from 
participation in the sweeps. He shot a good race all day. 
Joe Marks, Detroit, did good work at one stage of the ganie, 
breaking 49 out of 50. 
"Rush," whose other name is M. K. Cowan, M. P., one of the 
best field shots in the country, shot a 61b. Clateotlgh, and did not 
have his usual success at the mud pies. 
IN NEW JERSEY* 
Trenton Shooting Association. 
Trenton, N. J., Sept. 11.^ — A large crowd was on hand to witness 
the race between Comp, holder, and Farlee, challenger, for the 
Trenton Shooting Association $50 silver trophy, representing the 
championship of Mercer county. J. Pluvius, Esq., must certainly 
entertain a grude of some sort against us, or resent the flippant 
allusions to him made by the secretary, for he never fails to 
be on hand with choice samples of his wares whenever we get 
together. If we lived in Kansas it would be just the thing; but as 
it is, we fail to appreciate the services rendered. 
The Mercer county championship race calls for 50 targets per 
man, unknown. When the men got together the rain was falling 
in sheets, and the light was very poor. The covered scores kept 
the shooters and spectators dry.. If Comp had landed the trophy 
to-day it would have become his personal property, but he was 
not in his usual form, and Farlee won by 42 to 37. 
Comp's backers came to the grounds with plenty of the green, 
but it was covered as soon as offered by Farlee's admirers, who 
freely oft'ered 10 to 8 on their man, with no takers. 
Farlee gained a lead in the first string, which he held through" 
the race. 
Van .Vrsdale challenged the winner, and the match will probably 
be shot Oct. 9. 
Thirty-one guns took part in the other events. The badge con- 
test brought out twenty-four members. The gold badge was won by 
W'ilkes alter tieing with Thomas, \'an Arsdale, Bond, Daly, Farlee 
and Applegate. The silver badge was captured by Dr. Rowan. 
Three wins entitle the holder to claim permanent possession. 
Sept. 28 brings the city cup championship fevent upon the carpet. 
It is open to any resident of the city; entrance, cost of targets 
only; 25 singles. Three straight wins obtain permanent possession.

New York State Shoot. | 
The New York State shoot was held at Interstate Park, L. I., 
Sept 10 to 13 inclusive. The competition of the first three days 
was at targets, the fourth at live birds. 
^.,.J''? Pi'ogi"amme ^•.•as one of the best ever offered. There were 
.>(o0 lU cash added, and over ?8tH} value in merchandise prizes, a 
lew of which were donated. The greater number were bought by 
the club. Targets were thrown at 2 cents, and nothing whatever 
v.as taken out of the purses as a fund for the high averages or 
anything e.'se. With such a sterling programme, and such com- 
plete equipment for the running of the tournament, the light at- 
icndance is inexplicable. 
The attendance from up the State, considering the great number 
of shooters of that section, was noticeably light. 
The moneys in the sweepstake events were divided by the Rose 
.sy.stem, in the rytios 8, 5, 8 and 2. In the handicap events high 
gmis goveriitd, and therefore ties were shot off. 
The programme for the State and open target events were alike, 
e.vcept that in each of the State sweepstake events $20 were added. 
Un the first two days there were tour sweepstake events at 15 
targets and one at 20 targets. On the third day there were six 
sweepstake events at 15 targets. The short races made a handicaii 
unnecessary, as 12 out of 15, an SO per cent, performance, held a 
contestant in the money. 
While $20 was added in each of the State sweepstake events, $100 
was added each day in the open handicap events, so that there was 
about the same amount of money added respectively in the Stale 
and open events. There .was a handicap at 100 targets eacli day 
namely, the New Utrecht Gun Club handicap, the Brooklyn Handi- 
cap and the Coney Island handicap, the conditions of each being 
alike; namely, 100 targets, unknown angles, handicaps 14 to 25yds., 
high giins. The number of moneys into which the total purse 
vcas divided was determined by the number of entries, two places 
being provided for each ten entries, or fraction thereof. Entrance 
•f7, targets included. 
The tournament was m.anaged by the famous expert, Mr. Elmer 
E. Shaner, manager of the Interstate -Association. The success 
which has always marked his office as maJiager was also con- 
spicuous at this tournament. 
The cashier's office was in charge of Messrs. T. K. Starr and 
H. II. Stevens. 
The office of compiler of scores was in charge of Messrs. J. D. 
Regan and J. B. Mockridge. 
The referees were: No. 1 set of traps, Mr. F. C. Snvder- \'i " 
G. W. Morris; No. 3, F. E. Gildersleeve. 
Scorers: No. 1 set of traps, W. M. S. Dobsoii ; No 2, G E 
McManus; No. 3, Silas Kemble. 
.Messengers: jMessrs. H. L. Merrifield, No, 1 se.t of traps; C. S. 
Sanders, No, 2; and L. B. Van Wart. No. 3. 
Squad hustlers: Messrs. Mel. Hayes and W. H. Purcell. 
Blackboard man : Mr. John Wright. 
Locker man : Mr. H. F. H. Dressel. 
Most of the foregoing have had a thorough experience in the 
Grand American Handicap, .so that the dift'erent offices were 
managed in respect to themselves and each other with the regu- 
larity of clock work. 
The conventio.1 was held Tuesday evening in the .Assembly Hall 
0I the Casino at Interstate Park. There was a good attendance 
and much interest was manifested in the proceedings. Judge 
Cornelius Ferguson presided. He made a brief address, ex- 
plaining the absence of the president, Mr. Walter F. Sykes, and 
that he had been appointed by him to preside at the convention. 
The clubs represented were: New Utrecht Gun Club, Long 
Island Gun Club, Brooklyn Gun Club. New York County (iun

The minutes of the last meeting were' not av^tilable, anil on

Mr. H. L. Gates called attention to the imperfection of the .-\sso- 
ciation in respect to the matter of constitution and by-laws, and 
the loss of its identity as theretofore conducted, and. presented the 
following resolution: 
Resolved, That the chair appoint a committee of five to report 
upon a proposed new constitution and by-laws, at a meeting of this 
Association, to be held at Interstate Park .\ssembly Hall Thursday. 
Sept. li, 1901, at V2 o'clock M., and that when we adiourn it be 
to meet at that time and that the election of officers be po.stponed 
to that date. 
The resolution was lost by- a vote of 18 noeS to 17 .-lyes. The 
motion permitting the delegates of the newly elected clubs tti 
vote at the meeting was carried. 
Mr. Schortemeier asked why the New Utrecht Gun Club did not 
hold the convention in June, as it had been held tor forty years 
past. Mr. Banks explained the fail ure of the Pan-American 
shoot at Buffalo, and that other dates were so ta>en that it could 
not well be held at any other time. The discussion being ir- 
regular was cut off. 
No applications were ttiade for the shoot next year. However, 
the delegate from Rochester, Mr. J. F. Norton, stated that 
Rochester would take the shoot and give the best one possible 
without adding any money. On motion the request of the 
Rochester Gun Club was granted. • 
The chairman. Judge Furguson. explained that the .\s,sociation 
as conducted at present was an association in name only. He 
advocated cogently the need of an actual association, w'ith an 
identity of its own, as in times past, and suggested a reconsidera- 
tion of Mr. Gates' resolution. Mr. Keenan moved a reconsidera- 
tion, which was duly seconded. The resolution was carried 
unanimously. 
The chair then appointed a committee on constitution and by- 
laws as follows: Messrs. (iates, of Utica; Norton, of Rochester; 
Courtney, of Syracuse, and Iveenan and Waters, of New York. 
The meeting adjourned to Friday at 12 M. Judge C. Ferguson 
presided at the adjourned meeting. The following gun clubs were 
represented: New York County, Emerald, Long Island, New 
Utrecht, Rochester Rod and Gun, Oneida, Union, of Haiiim nds- 
port, Hell Gate, Rockaway Park, Oceanic, Jeannette, New 'I'ork 
German, Greater New York. 
The chairman of the meeting called for a reijort from the com- 
mittee on constitution and by-laws, whereupon Mr. IT. L. tiates, 
its chairman, svibmitted a draft of a new constitution and by-laws. 
On motion, the constitution and by-laws as read were adopted. 
Election of officers under the new constitution was ne.xt in 
order. Mr. L. H. Schortemeier nominated Mr. J. P. Keenan; Mr. 
J. H. Hallock nominated Mr. H. L. Gates, who declined the 
nomination; Col. A. G. Courtney nominated Dr. Weller. The 
nominations then closed. 
A ballot was then taken, and Mr. J. P. Keenan was elected 
president, and Dr. Weller was elected vice-president. 
Mr. Gates nominated Mr. F. E. McCord, of Rochester for sec- 
retary, and he was elected. 
Col. A, G, Courtney, of Syracuse, was elected treasurer. 
Mr, Gates nominated for board of directors, Mr. Walter F, 
Sykes, Mr. H. L. Gates, Hon. C. Furgueson, Jr., Mr. L. H. 
Schortemeier and Mr. J. H. Hallock. This board was elected 
unanimously. The meeting then adjourned. 
The new constitution and by-laws were much needed, for as 
theretofore conducted the New York State Association had a 
vague identity. The officers of the club which gave the shoot 
were the officers of the State Association, so that as the shoot 
. changed from place to place year by year, and local officers, more 
or less unfamiliar with State interests, were in authority the Asso- 
ciation rapidly lost all State significance.' The only link which 
held the present to the past was the Dean Richmond trophy, and 
even concerning that fine trophy, valuable in itself, its traditions 
and its associations, there were many differences of opinion con- 
cerning the conditions which govern the competition of it. The 
new constitution and by-laws are not yet so broad, nor the
