Miss Annie Oakley (Mrs. F, E. Butler) has . issued a card of 
thanks to the press, in respect to which we were honored with one, 
the tenor of which is as follows: "Nutley, N. J., May 17: Having 
retired from the Wild West Company, I wish to thank the press 
in general and you in particular for the many kind words printed 
during my long engagement with that company. I also wish to 
say that while I have given up circus business, I will continue 
to shoot at the trap and in the field." 
In this connection it may be mentioned that the Newark Sunday 
News of recent date, in a very interesting account of Miss Oak- 
ley's professional shooting career, stated as follows concerning her 
future intentions: "Mrs. Frank E. Butler, better known as Annie 
Oakley, the foremost markswoman of the country, who, after nine- 
teen successive years of active work before the public of this and 
foreign climes, has retired from the field in which she won her 
laurels, may make her initial bow in a dramatic performance this 
fall as the star in 'The Western Girl.' It will depend, however, 
on the state of her health, which has been impaired for the past 
six months. She and her husband are now at Nutley, where they 
own a cottage. She will do some exhibition work for the next 
month or six weeks, and will then spend two months in the 
mountains, the first summer vacation she has had in nearly a score 
of years."

There has been a wonderful transformation in scene at Inter- 
state Park since the recent Grand American Handicap .at targets. 
A half mile track has been laid out and is well advanced toward 
completion. The start and finish are in front of the Casino, lhe 
turns are gradual, each a half circle, and it is predicted that this 
track will be very fast. The soil, too, is favorable for good footing 
and speedy work. The track will be for speeding and for amateur 
racing, an institution for which, on Long Island, there is a great 
and heretofore unfilled demand. Target shooting will be amply 
provided, for as in times past, but the traps will be removed to 
another location on the grounds where they will not interfere with 
the more important interests which soon will be in action at 
Interstate Park.

Mr C F Lambert, of Lynn, writes us as follows: "Between the 
printer and our proofreader, the Memorial Day programme of the 
Birch Brook Gun Club, of Lynn, Mass., on the matter of handi- 
caps is misleading. All events will be shot from 16 yards, with 
these exceptions— Nos. 5, 6 and 7, merchandise prize events for 
that date only; also Nos. 9 and 10, for the summer series are the 
only handicap events for shooters not members of the club. At 
this writing the indications all point to an attendance that will tax 
our capacity to the utmost, but with five expert traps and the 
magautrap, think we can handle all who come."

Mr. John J. Fleming, secretary of the Forester Gun Club, of 
Newark, N. J., informs us that his club will hold an all-day shoot

lunch at noon are main features. Shooting commences at 10 
o'clock. Mr. John J. Fleming,' secretary.

Missouri State F. & G. P. A. Tournament. 
Kansas City, Mo., May 15.— Editor Forest and Stream:— Kindly 
give us space in the columns of Forest and Stream to announce 
dates for the twenty-fifth (quarter century) tournament of the Mis- 
souri State Fish and Game Protective Association, Sept. 15 to 20, in- 
clusive, at live birds and inanimates, to be held at the Blue River 
Shooting Park, Kansas City, Missouri. 
The tournament has in previous years taken place during the 
months of May or June, but owing to the G. A. H. preceding it 
here this year by a very short space of time, the officers of the 
association deemed it advisable to postpone the event to a later 
date. This being the quarter century shoot for this association, 
special features and inducements will be placed in our programme 
with the object of making it the most successful shoot which has 
ever taken place in the history of the association. 
This tournament will be open to the world, with such divisions 
of money, handicaps, etc., as may be deemed advisable for the 
purpose of placing all shooters on an equitable basis. 
Programmes will be ready for distibution about August 1, and 
will contain complete information pertaining to the tournament. 
For programmes and information, address Paul Franke, Secretary 
Missouri State Fish and Game Protective Association, No. 424 
W. Fifth street, Kansas City, Mo. 
Gallatin Gun Club, 
Gallatin, Tenn. — The 16th inst. was anything but a good day 
for target shooting. It commenced raining early in the morning, 
and kept it up until five in the afternoon. At that time five of 
our mud horses took chances on getting a good soaking by shoot- 
ing off the two events which constitute our regular weekly shoot. 
It was almost night and the clouds made the background very 
dark. The scores follow:

OiiutowAj la., May 15.— The twenty-fifth annual tournament of

with $5 added to each event, on Tuesday and Wednesday, and on 
Thursday seven live-bird events, entrance lf5; the State team trophy,

programme. 
The shooting was from two sets of three traps, Sergeant system. 
The targets were thrown about 50yds. 
On Wednesday the Smith cup event was shot. Gilbert and Klein 
each got 19 out of a possible 20, and decided to hold the cup

trophy at live birds, Gilbert being the only man in the first half 
of the teams to kill straight. Klein was called to finish his score.
