The Intcf state Association at Louisville. 
Louisville, Kv., Oct. 5. — The closing tournament of the Inter- 
state Association s series for the season of 1901 was held at Louis- 
ville,- Ky., Oct. 2, 3 and 4, vinder the auspices of the Jeflferson 
County Gun Club. 
The first day's attendance was fine, and included some of the 
leading amateurs of the country. Forty-seven shot during the 
day, arid of that number twenty shot the entire programme. The 
day w-as not , one for good scores, as the high w-ind caused the 
targets to duck and jump, creating difficult shooting. The straight- 
away and left-quartering targets were bothersome to quite a num- 
ber, and the contestant who was slow in his time took chances of 
a miss. The race for first place was an interesting one. Mr. J. D. 
Gay won out for the day by breaking loa targets out of the 165 
shot at, an average of .939 per cent.; Mr. L. J. Squier was second 
with 148, and Mr. J. T. Skelly third with 147. 
During the day, counting practice and extra events, 6,200 targets 
were thrown, and the traps worked well. The shoot began at 
9:30 and ended at 5:15, with a half hour intermission for lunch'. 
The second day's attendance was also good. As on the first day, 
most of the leading trapshoOters of Kentucky took part. Mr. 
.r. D. Gay, who made the best total score the first day, kept up the 
good work in the first eight events, but in the ninth event Mr. 
L. J. Squier, who was in second place on the first day, took first 
honors by breaking 20 straight, wliile Gay broke only 16, thus 
giving Squier an advantage of 4 targets. In the last event Squier 
and Gay each scored 13, which gave .Squier the general average lor 
both days. 
The third day was devoted to live birds: and a good lot of birds 
they were, as the scores will show. Many good kills were made 
during the day. The scores follow:

Httntsville Gun Q«b. 
IIuKTSviLlE, Ala., Sept. 27. — The tournament of the Huntsville 
Gun Club, held to-day, was a success. 
An investigation of the record made at the trap from the first 
shoot in June to the last shoot in September discloses the fact 
that Mr. John H. 'Wallace, Jr.. has hit 363 targets out of 42.5, and 
that his average is .854 per cent., while Mr. L. Halsey is 
second with 324 hits out of 425 shots, his average being .762. 
iVIessvs. J. P; Fuller and W. M. Keller each tied with 265 hits 
out of 425 shots, their average being .623. The averages of Messrs. 
Kirkpatrick and J. W. jNlatthews are .730 and .637 respectively, they 
having been absent from several of the shoots; necessarily their 
number of hits is not as great as some of the other members. 
The greatest number of targets broken out of any 100 shot at was 
by Mr. John H.' Wallace, Jr., who broke 94. Out of seventeen 
contestfi at 25 targets each he broke under 20 only twice, winning 
the weekly trophy nine times. Only seven shooters of the club 
participated in every contest; namely, ^Messrs. Fuller, Newman, 
[Cellar, Halsey, Mastin. Webster and Wallace. The greatest im- 
provement evidenced by any member of t'ne club during the entire 
season will be observed in the score of Mr. W. W. Newman, who 
the first month broke 36 out of 100, and the last month had 79 
out of 100 hits to his credit. 
The members of the club have a pleasant surprise in store for 
their efficient scorer, Mr. John L. Hay. At the next regular 
meeting of the club he will be presented with a handsome testi- 
monial as a token of the appreciation by the members of his 
excellent services. The organization of the club will be maintained 
throughout the autumn and winter, and shooting wiU be enjoyed 
during the month of October. 
Following will be found the records made bv the individual 
members of the club from the first week in June 'to the last shoot 
in September, both inclusive:

he can be proud of. All in all, it was an affair which was enjoyed 
by all present, and every shooter made good scores.

moneys, $2.25 and and $2.50 entrance. No. 3 had three moneys,
