Review of Tournaments. 
Appended herewith is the review of the tournaments of the 
Interstate Association for 1901, issued by that body: 
Gfand American Handicap at Live Bitds. 
The inaugural tournarnent for 1901 was the ninth annual Grand 
American Handicap at live birds, which was decided at Interstate 
Park, Queens, L. L., N. Y., April 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The Interstate 
Association guaranteed $1,500 (and all surplus added) in the main 
event, which was shot under the following conditions; viz., 25 
live birds, $25 entrance, 50yds. boundary, with a dead line at the 
33yd. mark, handicaps ranging from 25 to 33yds., high guns to 
win, and moneys to be divided in accordance with the number 
of entries received. 
In addition to guaranteeing $1,500, the Interstate Association pre- 
sented to the winner of first place a sterling silver trophy com- 
memorative of the win. 
The system of dividing the moneys which prevailed in 1896, 
1897, 1898, 1899 and 1900 was adopted again for 1901. The entries 
numbered 222, of which number 188 were regular entries, 12 were 
penalty or post entries and 22 were forfeits, making the total 
purse amount to $5,120. There were 22 straight scores of 25 
made, which took the first 22 moneys. Forty-five tied on 24 out 
of 25, and divided the remainder of the purse. The 22 men with 
straight scores of 25 shot off the tie, miss-and-out, for the silver 
trophy. This was won by Mr. E. C. GrifKth, of Pascoag, R. I., 
on the 18th round. Following are the scores of the "money

Graad American Handicap at Targets. 
The sixth tournament was the Interstate Association's Grand 
American Handicap at targets, which was held at Interstate 
Park, Queens, L. I., N. Y., Jttly 16, 17, 18 and 19. The Associa- 
tion added $1,000 to the purses. 
The first daj' was devoted to sweepstake shooting, of which ten 
events were provided — five at 15 and five at 20 targets, entrance 
based on 10 cents per target. Each of the remaining three days 
had five sweepstake events and a special event at 100 targets, the 
I'reliminary Hanidacp, the Grand American Handicap and the 
Consolation Handicap, these handicap events being the only parts 
of the competition open to all manufacturers' agents, paid rep- 
resentatives and amateurs. Thus, in the main, the competition was 
devised for the amateur and carefully safeguarded in his interests. 
Of the twenty-eight events provided in the programme, for the 
four days, twenty-five of them were for the amateur. _ Manu- 
facturers' agents" and paid representatives were permitted to 
shoot for targets only in all events save the handicaps, in which 
all the contestants were assumed to have a competitive equal 
chance by virtue of the handicap. The purses in the regular 
events were divided in the ratios of 8, 5, 3 and 2, Rose system. In 
the- handicap events the purses were divided among the high 
guns, the number of moneys being determined by the number of 
entries.

Mr B Fletcher Robinson tells some good shooting stories in the 
current issue of Pearson's Magazine. This is one of many: The 
owner of a shoot, a short-tempered, apoplectic colonel, was very 
much annoyed at a prolonged wait which followed the beating ot 
a small wood. "What in the name of fate, are you doing, 
lliompson?" he bawled to the keeper. "Get your beaters on to 
the next covert, man and don't stand staring there like a stuck 
pig " "Beg your pardon, sir," said Thompson, approaching his 
master with a solemn air, "but there's a boy been shot. ' Well, 
•what if there has?" yelled the colonel, purple with fury-; put 
liim in the bag, vou idiot, and say nothing more about it. 
Kentucky Gun CI«b, 
The old Kentucky Gun Club, of Louisville, Ky., has again had 
one of its annual two-day pigeon shooting events, with an at- 
tendance that exceeds that of any previous year. On the first day, 
Oct. 26, the Kentucky handicap was shot, this event being open 
to all, and on the second day, Oct. 27, the championship of the 
State came off, open to residents of Kentucky only. 
Beautiful weather went far toward making things pleasant for 
livery one. The birds were, as a lot, unusually good, and barring 
a little lagging in the trapping everything went off as it always does 
on those well-appointed grounds and in that admirably managed 
club. 
By referring to the scores below it will be seen that Mr. C. W. 
Phellis, shooting under the name of Phil, was the only man to 
go straight in the Kentucky handicap, though he had five men, 
some of whom were very dangerous, close up behind him. Mr. 
Phellis has not had much experience pigeon shooting, but it is 
clear that this young gentleman has in him the making of a 
splendid shot. The writer saw him score 48 out of 50 in a match 
on the Cincinnati Gun Cliib grounds, which, on those birds and 
on that day, would have been very hard indeed for any one to beat. 
The Hazard Powder Company, for whom Mr. Phellis travels, 
is to be congratulated on having secured the services of so com- 
, petent, agreeable and thoroughly well bred and polite a young 
gentleman, who makes friends wherever he goes, both for his com- 
pany and for himself. I predict we will, barring accident, hear a 
good deal of Phil as time goes on, and it will' all be in tliis same 
strain, and that is the best of it. 
On the second day the Blue Ribbon event of the year for Ken- 
tucky pigeon shots was fought out, and that long, lean, redoubtable 
Kentuckian, winner on many fields, again showed how well he 
can shoot, and the man who can year in and year out show a 
better average on pigeons than this same Mr. J. D. Gay, must 
indeed be a topnotcher of very first flight. 
Mr. Sam Hutchings, as usual, put up a splendid score, shooting 
with that grace and admirable style that have made him so con- 
spicuous during his whole shooting career. Some of his second- 
barrel kills on that day brought out unstinted applause and re- 
minded the old-timers of the grand work Dr. Carver and Edgar 
Murphy do on their good days. 
One naturally compares him with these two famous shots, as he 
resembles their attitude at the score, as well as in build and 
consummate skill in handling his weapon. Unfortunately for him. 
the match itself was finished at dusk, and by the time congratula- 
tions had been extended both of the fortunate contestants, etc., 
etc., it was really almost dark. 
Under such conditions Mr. Gay had of course a great advantage, 
being a much younger man. Stilly as Mr. Hutchings declares he 
saw the birds he missed quite distinctly, why, perhaps the waning 
light did not operate against him so much after all. Every true 
sportsman admires the man who gracefully accepts defeat, for, 
after all, when two men ride one horse, one of these must ride 
behind. See? 
A glance at the following scores will show how well most of the 
contestants shot, and what a warm and formidalile set of men 
vied with each other on both days. 
The only regret a man can have after attending a Kentucky 
Gun Club shoot is that there are so few of them, for if fair treat- 
ment, a good ground to shoot over, and the watching of a lot of 
genial, manly, sturdy sportsmen counts for anything, then by all 
means commend me to that club and its members. 
It may be of interest to know that Messrs. Gay, Phellis and 
Hutchings shot Parker guns.
