Dubuque Gun Club Tournament* 
Dubuque, la., May 28,— The third annual tournament of the 
Dubuque Gun Club closed to-day. The attendance was fair, forty- 
seven taking part the first day, and thirty the second, while 
twenty-one finished the entire programme. 
The weather on Tuesday was quite cool, but on Wednesday was 
warm and pleasant. 
The shooting was done from two magautraps at bluerock targets, 
thrown about 50yds. 
The programme called for twelve 15-target events each day; 
$5 was added to each event; $80 was given to the sixteen high guns 
in $5 packages. 
The shooting commenced promptly at 9 o'clock each day, and 
the programme was finished at 3:30, giving the shooters ample, 
time to see the sights of Dubuque by daylight. 
A nice lunch was served each day in a large dining hall just 
across the street from the club grounds. 
The Dubuque Gun Club has a membership of forty-two. The 
officers are; J. O'Brien, President; A. J. Schmid, Secretary and 
Treasurer; F. M. Jaeger, Captain; Dr. J. -L. Taylor, Vice-Presi- 
dent; A. F. Heeb, Corresponding Secretary; Nie. Glab, Assistant 
Captain. The Reception Committee was composed of James 
O'Brien, A. F, Heeb, Nic. Glab, W_ Bonson, H. Kaep and A. 
J. Schmid. 
The first on the programme was a carriage ride over the city. 
The works of the Iowa Iron Works Company were visited, and 
many very interesting things in boat building were explained by 
Mr. Bonson, the manager. Among the most interesting sights was 
a duck boat, presented-to Mr. C. W. Budd by Mr. Bonson. Fred 
Gilbert took a great interest in this boat, and. took all measure- 
ments. 
On Wednesday evening the* visiting sportsmen gave a dinner to 
the members of the Dubuque Gun Club. Mr. Tom A. Marshall 
was- toastmaster, and a pleasant evening was enjoyed by all 
present. I wish to say to sportsmen who have never attended a 
tournament given by the Dubuque Gun Club, you do not know 
what you have missed. AVhen their next annual is held, try and 
be with them, as no trouble or expense is spared by them to 
make yovtr visit a pleasure to be remembered. 
Manufacturers' agents were barred from sharing in the purses, 
or average prizes. 
Mr. J. M. Hughes, of Palmyra, Wis., shooting Ballistite powder 
and U. M. C. shells, won first average, breaking 346 out of 360. 
Mr. T. A: Marshall won second with Dupont powder and U. M. C. 
shells, scoring 321 out of 360. Fred Gilbert was high in the 
manufacturers' class, scoring 351 out a possible 360. Mr. J. ML 
Hughes on Tuesday made a new record for long, continuous 
breaks on this club's grounds by making a run of 82 straight. 
Mr.' F. C. Whitney had charge of the cashier's "office, which 
assured prompt and accurate payment of the purses. C. W. Budd 
managed the tournament, and with the assistance of the club 
members and the Indians had but little trouble to keep things 
moving nicely.

Trapshooting in New Hampshire. 
Dunbarton, N. II., May 27.— There are a fair number of gun 
clubs in this State, and no doubt each club can produce some 
pretty good trap shots. Nevertheless, about all of them are con- 
tent to show their skill on home grounds. 
Last year three prominent clubs subscribed and put up a trophy 
for a certain number of contests. I understand that at first it 
was called "for the State championship." It was evident that 
there was a string tied to this trophy. Two other clubs in equally 
as good standing applied for admission of teams. For some 
reason, never clearly understood, their request was refused. 
When the Exeter team won this trophy, their captain made a 
speech. (He is a good fellow in every way, and if he could 
make as good a score at the traps as when making a speech he 
would be about perfect.) He said: "This trophv is now open 
to the State or to the world." The world did not respond; the 
Concord Club did, and here was evidence of a very strong string. 
The Concord club challenged (or offered to put in a challenge) 
and it was declined, for the reason that one of its members Iivpd 
a few miles outside of the city limits. I do not know that the 
Concord team could have won this trophy. I am sure that I do 
not know of any use it would have been to them, Yesterday the 
Concord club did a little shooting. Leroy, the expert, of Massa- 
chusetts, was there, and at 16yds., at easy targets from a 
magautrap, he missed four out of 120, and part of them doubles. 
Now, Leroy is a good fellow, both with his mouth and the gun 
and powder he represents. He said to me, "You want to stir up 
3'our New Hampshire trapshooters." I tried to last year and 
was not over and above successful. I have had about all the 
trapshooting I care for, but I will make one more proposition to 
the trapshooters of this State. I am fifty-four years old, and I 
will name for my partner a man who has never (as I think) shot 
outside of this State at the traps, and who has passed sixty years. 
We will shoot the following match or matches against any two 
men who have been legal residents of this State six months prior 
to date, and whose combined ages aggregate within five years of 
ours, as follows: One hundred bluerock targets per man from a 
magautrap, targets to be thrown under rules, for from $50 to 
$100 a side. The first match to take place on the grounds of the 
Concord Gun Club. In case we win this match, a return match 
to be shot on the grounds of the challengers, should they ask 
for it. 
Now if any of your New Hampshire trapshooters want to take 
this up, send 25 per cent, of the amount to F. W. Sanborn, sec- 
retary of Concord Gun Club, Concord, N. H-» and I will cover 
it and name the date, which, if reasonable, we will agree to. We 
will try and make you shoot to win the first match. Do not wait 
too long. Both of us are old and may die. C. M. Stark. 
Colt Hammerless Gun Club. 
Hartford, Conn.— At the Memorial Day shoot of the Colt Ham- 
merless Gun Club, May 30, the attendance was not as large as was 
expected, owing, no doubt, to the many other attractions, and the 
fact that all the neighboring clubs held shoots on their home 
grounds that day. Of the seventeen shooters present, only four 
shot out the entire programme. Some very good scores were 
made. 
Conditions: All events at singles. 16yds. rise, unknown angles, 
class shooting, Interstate rules. The scores:

Birch Brook Gun Club. 
Lynn, Mass., May 30.— Our holiday prize shoot was successful 
to a medium degree. We had anticipated a larger attendance, but 
the execrable weather conditions of the early moraing doubtless 
kept some away, particularly those who were divided between two 
opinions as to where they would spend the day. 
Many of the shooters came late; others went home early, and 
some shot only parts of the programme, which at times made 
quick changes in squads necessary. 
Five expert traps were used for regular and reversed, the magau- 
trap for unknown angles, and the wind made up the balance of 
hard conditions, in view of which the scores were good. 
Events 5, 6 and 7, for prizes, were closely contested; conditions, 
distance handicap, and the winners of same were Rule, 16yds., 
dress suit case, 41; Allison, 18yds., 100 loaded shells, 40; Howe, 
19yds., and William, 16yds., tied on 39, Howe winning, on shoot-off, 
the total number shot at being 50, and the result showing that 
the distance does handicap. 
With all our. real or imaginary hardships, we managed to trap 
some over 4,000 targets in seven hours, with the two systems, they 
being used as one, as our grounds do not permit the use of two 
sets of traps. 
Events 9 and 10 were the inaugural of our summer series for 
merchandise prizes.

Raleigh Gun Club. 
Raleigh, N. C, May 29.— Our club grounds were filled to over- 
flowing with club members, their friends, and invited gueste, rep- 
resenting different powders. Messrs. L. D. Thomas and Jack 
Fanning, Laflin & Rand; H. P. Collins and Ben Eick, Dupont 
and Hazard. We were. delighted to have them, and it gave us great 
pleasure to watch them powder targets, although none went 
straight. * 
Shooting commenced at 2 P. M., and lasted till 7 P. M., except 
intermission to enjoy a most palatable cold Southern barbecue 
and Brunswick stew. 
After partaking ; some of the shooters were too full for utterance, 
so much so, their percentage was greatly lowered. Fanning led 
with 92 per cent.; Eick, second, 88 per cent.; Stark, one of the 
members, was third, 83 per cent. His score was made with Peters 
Ideal shell. Hazard powder. I would like to comment on each 
one's score, but I must not trespass further on your valuable 
space. 
This was our first barbecue of the season, and every one agreed 
it a great success. It is only one of many during the summer 
months.

L. D. H., Hartford, Conn. — If a club agrees to give an added 
money in any event on condition that there shall be fifteen entries 
or over, how is this generally understood; that there must be fif- 
teen or more entries for money? or that number of entries total, 
part in for money and part for birds only? Ans. Fifteen entries 
for money. "For targets only" is not competitive under such 
conditions, and therefore has no relevancy whatever concerning 
the moneys.
