FOREST AK£) STREAM; 
his well-known energy, popularity and ability, there is no doubt 
of his ultimate success. The trapshooters of America to a man 
should rally to his support in this movement, an advance for the 
benefit of all. When it is considered that trapshooters, of all the 
sportsmen who have any importance of numbers and dignity ol 
action, are the only ones who have not a representative national 
association, pride of guild, personal interest and a desire to pro- 
gress should actuate each shooter to heartily support Mr. Lilly's 
efforts.

The programme of the Interstate Association's trapshooting 
tournament, given for the Raleigh (N. C.) Gun Club, Tune 25 and 
26, provides ten events each day, alternately at 15 and 20 targets, 
fll50 and $2 entrance. Shooting commences at 9 o'clock. Send 
guns, etc., to the secretary, Mr. R, T. Gowan, Raleigh, and they 
will be delivered on the grounds free. Targets 2 cents. Contest- 
ants who so desire may shoot for targets only. Rose system will 
govern the division of the moneys. Lunch will be served on the 
grounds. To reach the grounds take Fayetteville car to Confeder- 
ate Monument; transfer thence via Hillsboro street to the grounds. 
Mr, Elmer E. Shaner will manage. 
Mr. E. Hough, in "Western Traps," mentions that the Illinois 
State shoot will be held this week, rumors to the contrary not- 
withstanding. It is to be regretted that the Chicago trapshooters 
did not push to a conclusion the issue on live-bird shooting re- 
cently raised. With a definite and final ruling on the matter, the 
present state of harmful uncertainty would be dissipated. The 
Chicago motto "I will," seems to be mildewed in spots in matters 
of trapshooting as they relate to opposition. 
At a meeting of the Enterprise Gun Club, held May 20, the 
following list of officers was elected: Leroy W. Cannon, President; 
H. B. Bradshaw. Vice-President; Geo. W. Mains, Secretary;

Board: Chas. H. Baird, G. W. Mains, L. W. Cannon, Robert 
Knight, Geo. G. Taylor.

horst, 29yds.; H. Pape, 28yds., and W. Sanders, 27yds. Winner to 
pay all expenses. 
Mr. G. L. Bruffey, secretary, informs us as follows: "The 
Charlottesville, Va., and University of Virginia gun clubs_ will

fore announced, the added day being July 5. It will be held at 
Mt. Kisco, N, Y. Mr. A. Betti, of that place, will act as man-

"Westchester County Trapshooters* League. 
On Decoration Day, May 30, the second shoot of the West- 
chester County Trapshooters' League was held at Ossining, N. Y. 
Altogether forty-two shooters taced the traps. The skirmish line 
was thrown out at 9:30 A. M., and the fun was continuous till 
6:30 P. M., when the light got poor. 
The trade representatives present were Edward Banks, Secretary 
of the K. C. and Schultze Powder Company, who got high aver- 
age for the day with .93 per cent; Haze Keller, jr., of Peters Car- 
tridge Company, and G. R. Schneider, of Schoverling, Daly & 
Gales, who shot in good form. 
The targets were thrown about 55yds., which made it very diffi- 
cult for the slower shots. 
The out-of-town shooters who shot through most of the pro- 
gramme were L Tallman and E. Foster, of South Millbrook; A. 
L. Burns, Marmaroneck; G. Creighton, Nyack; R. Gorham, A. 
Betti, G. Sutton and H. Hoffman, of Mt. Kisco; J. Carpenter, 
C. Barnard and E. Fliewellin, of Kensico; L. Schortemeier and 
J. Jones, of New York; Mike Schortemeier tied with C. G. Bland- 
ford, of the Ossining Gun Club, for high average money, with 
.S"i 5 per cent, which was divided. 
the cashier's desk was very ably looked after by A. Bedell. 
The scoring was done by W. S. Smith, who was relieved at times 
Ijy Dr. E. B. Sherwood and Mr. D. F. Pride, of Field and 
Fancy. W. F. Hall made up the squads, and very ably assisted 
in the running of the shoot. The handicap medal competition, 
which has been running since November, 1901, was closed out 
to-day. The first prize, a gold medal, was won by Mr. I. T. 
Washburn, with a clean score of 150; C. G. Blandford was second 
with 147, winning the silver medal; E. D. Garnsey got the bronze 
medal with 138. The entries in this series were not Jimited to 
any number. The next shoot of the league will be held at Mt. 
Kisco, July 4 and 5, when there will be the usual good turnout. 
Following are the scores made Decoration Day:

Champlaln Gun Club. 
Champlain, N. Y.— One 'of the most successful tournaments ever 
held in northern New York, was held Friday, May 30, on the 
grounds of the Champlain Gun Club, Champlain, N. Y. About 
sixty shooters gathered there from all the surrounding towns. 
Montreal, Can.; Sherbrooke, Que.; Montpelier, Vt. ; Swanton, Vt., 
each had five men there. 
A beautiful and airy club house of log cabin design was in- 
formally opened, and "warmed" yesterday. The club house is 
situated about five minutes' walk from the railroad station, and is 
certainly a credit to the club. Everybody was welcome, and Mr. 
Irazer, ' the "Jolly Parson," was squad nustler, blackboard man, 
in fact he flew around like a pea of) a bass drum, and it was 
largely due to his efforts that the tournament was the success that 
it was. 
About noon a bountiful supply of goods things to eat were served 
by the lady friends of the club members. The shooting was done 
from three sets of traps. The magautrap series consisted of ten 
events, open to all, distance handicap. Le Roy was high gun with 
133 out of 150. Barrett, of Montpelier, was a good second. 
Several events were shot by the amateurs from the Sergeant sys- 
tem, and a merchandise event from one trap, 18yds. rise, fooled 
most of the boys. Kennedy, the clever expert from Montreal, 
managed to score a clean 10, and had first choice from the long 
list of prizes. 
The principal event of the day was the International team race — 
five-man teams, 20 targets each. The Robin Hood team from 
Swanton, Vt., and the Champlain team trotted a fast clip, the Robin 
Hood team winning by a nose, or by one bird only. It was a 
most exciting contest, and the result was in doubt to the very 
last shot. 
The trade was represented by Doremus, of the L. & R. Powder 
Company, who kindly assisted by scoring and refereeing. The 
Robin Hood Powder Company by Fort, White, Richardson, and 
the Dupont Powder Company by Le Roy. 
The Champlain boys are all right. I hope they will give us 
another.

Auburn Gun Club. 
Auburn, Me., May 30.— The fifth annual tournament of the 
Auburn Gun Club was held to-day. There were twenty-three men 
that shot the programme through. Mr. Preable was high gun, 
with the Duke of Danville a close second. The seven high guns 
were only seven targets apart. Ten targets down from the high 
man would take in another man, making eight men who shot 
within 5 per cent, of each other, or from 81% to 76 1 ,2 per cent. 
This is the third tryout the boys have had to pick the Maine- 
Massachusetts team. The first at Lewiston on Fast Day; the sec- 
ond at Brunswick on May 10, and to-day at Auburn. The old 
guard stand the test very nicely, and have not got nervous over 
anything that has bobbed up of late.

Aquidnecfc Gun Club of Newport, R. I. 
Memorial Day has come and gone, and the boys are well satis- 
fied with their shoot on that day. Twenty shooters on hand is 
not a bad beginning for a small club (we'll have forty next year). 
Especially were the boys pleased with the presence of Griffith, 
of Pascoag; Getchell, of Woonsocket, and Root, Clarke, Voelker 
and Arnold, of Providence. Getchell was high for the day with 
138 breaks, Griffith being second with 128. Some of the local shots 
made good scores as well. 
The targets were thrown at unknown angles, Sergeant system, 
from three expert traps, which, with electric pull, worked fairly 
all day, 2,600 targets being trapped,
