Interstate Tottrnament at DwBois* 
Du Bois, Pa., May 16.— The trapshooting tournament given by 
the Interstate Association for the Du Bois Rod and Gun Club, on 
May 13 and 14, was a very pleasant affair. The first day, as far as 
weather conditions were concerned, was perfect, and thirty-three 
contestants, some of them of national reputation, faced the traps 
in all of the events brought off. Twenty-three took part in the 
entire programme of the day. Some of these were members of the 
local club, and several were from surrounding towns. 1'he shoot- 
ing was witnessed by a large number of people, quite a few of the 
spectators being ladies. 
There were ten events, four at 15 targets, four at 20 and two at 
25. L. J. Squier, of Wilmington, Del., was high gun for the day, 
and he made the largest number of straight scores, five. Out of 
the 190 targets shot at, Squier missed but 9. J. T. Atkinson, of 
New Castle, Pa., was second high gun with 176 breaks. L. B. 
Fleming, of Pittsburg, Pa., was third high gun with a total score 
of 175 breaks. 
Messrs. Guinsburg, Quinn, Kelly and Wolfe made up a squad 
of local men who participated in all of the events. Messrs. Munch 
and Sullivan shot in all but one event. Kelley was in the best 
form among the local men, his total for the day being 167. Guins- 
burg scored 155, Oviinn 146, Munch 139, W'olfe 136, and Sullivan 
120. The number of targets shot at by Munch was 175, and by 
Sullivan 170. 
Burgoon, of Clearfield, Pa., was well up among the number 
with the high scores, scoring 164 out of the 190. Sizer, of Kane, 
Pa., broke 171, and No. 96, the cognomen of a gentleman from 
the same city, broke 166. 
The new score sheets, copyrighted by Mr. Chas G. Grubb, of 
Pittsburg, Pa., were given a trial by Manager Shaner, and they 
gave the best of satisfaction. Manager Shaner stated that he will 
use them at all Interstate Association tourn,aments in place of a 
blackboard, the possibility of mistakes being reduced to a mini- 
mum when using them. 
The programnie of the second day was an exact duplicate of the 
first day. Thirty contestants, but three less than the number 
taking part the first day, participated, and twenty-two shot in all 
of the events. It was another favorable daj- for the marksmen, 
the weather being fine and the scores made were first class. 
Again Squier carried off the high gun honors, shooting at 190 
targets and breaking the same number as he did the first day, 181. 
Nobles, of Olean, N. Y., was second high man with a score of 178, 
Atkinson was third with 177. Dr. W. Jessop, of Kittanning, Pa., 
and L. V. Byer, of Rochester, N. Y., tied for fourth place with 
scores of 172 each. 
The local club was represented by Messrs. Sullivan, Quinn, 
Kelly, Munch, Cotter, Guinsburg and Wolfe, and each one took 
part in all of the events. Kelly again led the home talent, scoring 
163 breaks. Wolfe was close up to him with a score of 158. Bur- 
goon was in good form, as he was on the previous day, and he 
broke 163 targets. 
The tournament was handled in a very able manner by Man- 
ager Shaner, assisted by Mr. Chas. G. Grubb, of Pittsburg.

Rambling Ttap Notes* 
Bunkcrhill, 111. 
What was to have been a live-bird plant proved to be a lively 
shooting match. Some of the Bunkerhill boys had intended to 
have a pigeon farm, but suitable quarters could not be arranged 
and the birds went to the market after being shot at by Messrs. 
Gumming and Payne, of this city. It was hoped to arrange a 
match between shooters of this and adjoining towns, but it fell 
through. Our townsmen then tried their skill, with the following 
result : 
Cummings 21020112201220122102212212212222001210222210221202—40

Litchfield Cot. test. 
The boys are not faltering. They believe in using our nice 
grounds when the "sun is shining." The shoot held last week 
had the incentive to make our boys get around and try for better 
scores :

The Grand Mound Club got the shooting fever this week, and 
eleven of the boys looked up their long neglected guns and went 
out to shoot the rust off them. The scores show lack of prac- 
tice, as only two made straight scores:

Colored Trapshooters* League. 
Last week the colored trapshooters met at Pleasant Hill, Mo., 
and engaged in a little practice at the traps. During the day an 
organization was perfected among the colored men, which is ex- 
pected to be to the colored shooters what the G. A. H. is to the 
whites, as some good system of handicapping will be used. 
The officers are as follows: President, Ed. Armstead, Kansas 
Cit}', Mo. ; First Vice-President, Leon Jordon, Kansas City, Mo. ; 
Second Vice-President, J. E. Cohron, St. Louis, Mo.; Secretary 
and Treasurer, T. H. Cohron, Pleasant Hill, Mo.; Directors: S. 
A. Edwards, Kansas City, Mo. ; N. G. Fulbright, Merriam, 
Kans. ; T. H. Dawson, St. Joe, Mo. ; R. H. Monday, Pleasant Hill, 
Mo., and Ed. Fort, Kansas City, Mp. 
The next annual merchandise shoot will take place at Kansas 
City during the horse show or fall festivities, in order to secure 
half fare rates. 
Harvey McMurchy was looking around for a good opportunity, 
and he spied out Mr. Cohron during the G. A. H. and offered a 
medal for the colored boys to shoot for, and here is the score of 
the McMurchy inter-city medal contest: Cooley 13, Fort 14, Jor- 
don 16, Edwards 21, Crochett 13, Gudgell 11, Monday 15, Gibson 
19, Armstead 18, Cohron 19, Monday 16, Dixon 13. 
Bonesteel. 
Mr. Leach, secretary of the Bonesteel, S. D., Gun Club, sent in 
a statement that the shooting season will open up on their grounds 
on May 26. There will be nine events of 15 targets each, $1 
entrance, four moneys, Rose system. In addition to this, Mr. 
Spotts, who holds the Peters Cartridge Company's medal, has 
consented to put same up for open competition. This should call 
together a large crowd of shooters. 
Instead of giving added money, the club will charge one cent 
for targets, that will be the same as adding .$10 to the purses 
for each 1,000 targets thrown. There should be a large gathering, 
as Fairfax, Lynch, Bristow, Butte, Armour and Geddes are our 
near neighboring towns. 
The sliding handicap will be used, the losers going up and the 
winners going back a yard. This should even up matters a bit 
and give all a chance. 
Irving, III. 
Phil Standor, Irving, 111., has sent a programme of a two 
days' shoot that he will hold June 10 and 11, at Irving, 111. AH 
amateur shooters are invited to come and have two days' shoot. 
A good lunch will be provided, and the air will be fresh and 
fine, as the shooting will be on Mr. Standor's farm. Jolly.

Winchester Gun Club. 
Detroit, Mich.— At the regular shoot. May 16, some good shoot- 
ing was done. Ford, in the shoot-off of the tie with Hitchcock 
for the Class B medal, broke 24 out of 25, and only 4 out of 60 
got away from Andrew Reid, of Walkerville, shooting from the 
ISyd. mark, and it is almost a certainty that the lost targets have 
holes in them. 
Following are the scores, the fifth event being the trophy handi- 
cap, the sixth the club event, and the seventh the shoot-off-
