l he programme of the Interstate Association's Trapshooting 
tci rnament, given for the West Branch Rod and Gun Club, Wil- 
liamsport, Pa., May 27-29, will be sent to applicants. There are 
ten programme events each day, alternately 15 and 20 targets, 
excejiting event 8 at 25 targets. Entrance based on ten cents per

divided 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. Targets 2 cents, included in 
entrance. Guns and ammunition may be forwarded to W. A.

From the- Parkersburg, W. Va., Journal, we take the following: 
■"The ladies of this city are beginning to take up the handling of 
the shotgtm more and more, and it is very probable that within 
the next year or so an association will be organized for the pur- 
pose of getting all the fun possible out of the art of smashing 
blutrocks. The amount of interest shown by them in this sport 
exceeds by far that evidenced by the men. There are a number 
of ladies in this city who are becoming very proficient in break- 
ing moving targets, and the more skillful they become the more 
enthusiastic are those who are just beginning'." And thus mere 
man finds out, day by day, that he is losing dominion. Is it not 
time to form a union? 
The Aquidneck Gun Club, of Newport, R. I., has issued the 
catalogue for its shoot to be held on May 30. There are ten pro- 
gramme events, 10, 15 and 20 targets, entrance 60 cents, .90 cents 
and .$1.20. Shooting commences at 10 o'clock. Handicaps 16 to 
20yds. The Rose system will govern. Sweepstakes optional. 
Targets one cent. Highest total of manufacturers' agent, .$10. 
They may shoot for targets only. To first, second and third ama- 
teur making highest totals, $20, $10 and $5; to fourth, 100 loadeo 
slieils. To lowest, .$5. To the shooter making the longest run, a 
Stevens rifle. Guns and shells to the secretary, Mr. J. S. Cogge- 
shall, 32 Church street, will be delivered on the grounds. 
'Ihe Sunday Call states that "at a meeting of the Montclair, 
N. J., Gun Club, May 2, it was decided by unanimous vote to 
form the club into a stock association. It was voted to issue 250 
shares of stock, all of which will be taken by the members. From 
the funds derived from the sale of stocks the club grovmds will 
be placed in lictter condition, and additional traps will be added, 
so that large squads may shoot at the same time.. Next Saturday 
afternoon the -club will hold a match shoot." 
The secretary, Chas. G. Grubb, of Pittsburg, writes us that 
"on April 29, the Board of Control of the Western Pennsylvania 
Trapshooters' I^eagne held a meeting and decided that on and 
after May 26-27, the team shoot will be shot on the second day 
in place of the first day, as heretofore. They also decided to 
abolish 'no bang no bird.' Interstate rules will be used in the 
future, ctynniencing with the Irwin shoot, May 5-6." 
The intercollegiate contest held, on the grounds of the Clearview 
(iun Club, at Darby, Pa., Saturday of last week, was won by

U. of P. 173, Yale 172. Messrs. Dupont, of Harvard, and Stutes- 
nian, of Princeton, tied on 44 for high individual Score; in the

Handicap at Kansas City last month. He reports that a decided 
improvement in Mr. Harold Mcney's condition has set in since 
his stay at Colorado Springs,' whereat all his friends will heartily 
rejoice. 
"The Trapshooter's Ready Reckoner," published by Forest and 
Stream PubHshing Co., is a work embodying a series of tables 
showing at a glance the division of purses under all the ap- 
proved tournament and club conditions of competition, in sweep-

against Messrs. Frank Butler and A. "Hoffman" at Smith 
Brothers' grounds, Newark, N. J., on Friday of last week, 40 
birds per man, SO birds per team. Capt. Money and Mr. Butler

Mr. Butler is now in the crackerjack class. 
The programme of the Pacific Coast championship bluerock 
tournament. May 15-17, its first annual event, given under the

The Cincinnati Gun Club has five sets of traps installed on its 
grounds, placed in a semi-circle at the outer cage of the boundary 
of the live-bird traps. This is some of the preparatory arrange- 
ments for the great forthcoming tournament of the club. 
Capt. C. G. Blandford, of the Ossining, N. Y., Gun Club, in- 
forms us that, concerning the amateur State Association cham- 
pionship medal, the conditions are 100 targets, instead of 60 
singles and 20 pairs, as at first announced.

Dover Sportsmen's Association. 
Dover, N. H., April 24. — Although the local gun club shot upon 
their own grounds on April 25, Fast Day, yet we had a better 
attendance than we expected. Maine was represented by Mr. 
Darton and Mr. Adams, from Portland, and Mr. Drew from 
Berwie. 
The conditions for shooting were not the best, the varying at- 
titudes and extreme angles made hitting difficult. Some good 
scores were made by the best shots, but the most interesting was 
a match by Darton and Corson at 50 targets. Corson broke 44 
targets, and won, though it is but fair to say that Darton has not 
shot any since December. Mr. Corson had the best average for 
the day. • D- W. Hallam, Sec'y.
