trophy, at John Parker's tournament, live-bird day, Oct. 4, at De- 
troit, Mich. Messrs. Joseph A. Marks, J. A. R. Elliott, Jack 
Fanning and ISIr King tied on straight scores. In the shoot-off 
Fanning's bird, hard hit, died out of bounds, Marks went out on 
the fotirth bird. Then the remaining two missed their fourteenth 
bird. They raced neck and neck to the twenty-first bird, which 
Elliott lost. King killed his, and won. 
The captain of the club writes us as follows: "On Thanksgiving 
Day, Nov_ 28, the Ossining Gun Club, Ossining, N. Y,, will hold 
an all-day clay-bird shoot. Everything which goes to make up a 
pleasant day's shoot — ^not forgetting the turkey — will be provided. 
As has been mentioned before in these columns, Ossining is only 
thirty miles from New York city, on the N. Y. C. & H. R. R. R. 
Trolley cars run from the station direct to the groimds. For pro- 
grammes and particulars, address C. G. Biandford, Capt." 
Mr. C. C. Beveridge, well known to all trapshooters as Dominie, 
informs us that he has business engagements which will keep him 
in the West another year. His present place of domicile is Fremont, 
Neb. He is at present taking a two weeks' outing in the sandhill 
country, after chickens and ducks. We note that he has been 
shooting in his best form of late. At the recent Omaha tournament 
he broke 153 out of 160 targets on the first day, and was second 
. high gun. 
Mr. Bert B. Adams, the secretary-treasurer of tlie Limited Gun 
Club, of Indianapolis, Ind., informs us that his club will hold its 
annual fall tournament on Oct. 30 and 31. The programme of the

W. E. Barnard, of Middletown, Del., writes us as follows: "We 
have organized tlie Middletown Shooting Association of Delaware, 
with charter membership of about fifty. Our grounds, sixty_ acres 
in extent, are located in the suburbs of our city, near the railroad, 
and we have installed a magautrap and a set of experts. Most of 
our members are novices at trapshooting, and our object is to pro- 
mote an interest." 
The Aurora Grata Club, a Masonic organization, which oc- 
cupies a beautiftil club house on Bedford avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., 
organized a trapshooting club on Thursday of last week. Mr. E. 
Blohm was elected secretary-treasurer; Dr. W. A. Little, well 
known as a trapshooter, was appointed captain. The club is already 
actively arranging for the future competition. 
Mr. J. Hildreth, debonair and popular at all times and every- 
where, leaves New York for the Southwest, the territory in which 
he so ably represents the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. 
He has been having a rest in New York during some days past, 
a city so quiet and gentle as to slowly gain fame as being outside 
the heavy swirl of life. 
«l 
We notice that in our business columns the Winchester Repeating 
Arms Company, New Haven, Conn, announce that Winchester 
rifles and shotguns were the only rifles and shotguns which re- 
ceived gold medals at the Pan-American Exposition, and also 
that Winchester ammunition received a gold medal. 
In a match recently shot at Dupont Park, St. Louis, betweeii 
Messrs. Harold Money and John Cabanne, 50 birds, 30yds. rise, 
$50 a side, the former won by a score of 50 to 4-3. la the East, 
when Mr. Money was in his best form, he shot witJi phenomenal 
quickness and accuracy, and was rated as first class. 
The Union Metallic Cartridge Company, Bridgeport, Conn., an- 
nounce, through our business columns, that lT. M. C. ammunition 
was awarded a gold medal at the Pan-American Exposition.

Forester Gttn CI«b TotjMiament* 
Davenport, la., Oct. U. — The fall tournament of the Forester 
Gun Club, held at their shooting park, in this city, Oct. 8, 9, 10 
and 11, was not as well attended as was expected. The first day- 
twenty shooters took part in the programme. The second day they 
had twenty-six, and the third day, twenty. The fourth day but four 
shooters showed up in the morning, as the weather was bad and 
it looked very much like rain. 
After shooting a few miss-and-outs at targets it commenced to 
rain, and the shoot was declared off. Those who had come out to 
the grounds went back to the city. 
The shooting was done from five traps, known traps and angles. 
Bluerock targets were used, and worked nicely. 
But four men shot through the programme, but as ELughes, 
Nichols and Crautcup missed only one event and shot at pigeons 
I have figured their averages. Budd is high with .939; Hughes, 
second, .936. Both shot U. M. C. shells. Budd shot Schultze 
powder and a Parker gun; Hughes, shot Ballistite powder and a 
VV inchest er gun. 
Marshall, of Keithsburg, came up and shot on the last two days 
and was high man the second day. 
The only change we can see in Tom is in his hair. Outside of 
Ihis, he is as busy as ever, and a welcome visitor to any tourna- 
ment. The scores:

ON LONG ISLAND. 
The Knockabout Shoot. 
Interstate Park, Queens, L. I. — The live-bird shoot arranged by 
Mr. J. Wright was a success. The weather was pleasant, there 
was a good gathering of shooters, and the competition was well 
sustained from start to finish. Besides the shooters, there was an 
unusually large attendance of visitors, among whom were Captains 
McDonald and Van Schaack. Mr. J, I. Arzapalo, of Guadalajara, 
Mexico, was a participant. 
Mr. M. Herrington acted as referee in the main event. Messrs. 
W. R. Hobart and B. Waters acted as handicappers. There was 
a moderate wind, vai^ying from 3 to 5 o'clock most of the time. A

Oceanic Rod and Gtin Clob. 
Rockaway Park, L. I., Oct. 14.— The club had a stormy day for 
Its openmg fall shoot. The wind blew hard, straightaway from the 
shooters, making the most difficult of erratic flights and angles. 
Dr. Bill and Dudley were easily high men in every event, and 
consequently in the high average for the day. However, the de- 
licious beef stew served about midday was an event in which all 
performed with equal precision and merit. 
The club house, once so isolated near the sandy shore, among 
the scrub growths of a poor soil, is gradually being brought out 
to view by the encroachments of the real estate dealers and home 
seekers. The process of leveling and clearing is pressing nearei* 
and nearer year by year, and if the improvements continue, it is 
but a question of time till the Cuckoos must seek a new nest The
