It is a pleasure to mention that Mr. Harold Money is recover- 
ing surely but slowly from his recent severe illness. He has been 
recuperating for some weeks in Colorado. His mother, who has 
been nursing him through it all, will return to her home in Oak- 
land, N. J., soon.

At the Budd-Burmister tournament, Arnold's Park, Iowa, June 
2-4, Messrs. F. Gilbert and F. Riehl were the only manufactur- 
ers' agents who shot through the entire programme. Gilbert 
broke 579 out of a possible 600, an average of 96.5 per cent., trulj' 
an excellent performance. Mr. W. H. Heer won high average in 
the amateur class, with 566, about 94.4 average. The recent floods 
in the West caused a smaller attendance than was anticipated.

The Interstate Association tournament, to be given at Ruther- 
ford, X. J., on June 24 and 25, is within convenient reach of 
southern JJew York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania trapshoot-

able clubhouse and traps perfectly installed. The transportation 
facilities are first-class. Keep the dates posted in your hat and 
shoes. 
Mr. Ernest Detmold, of the firm of Von Lengerke & Detmold, 
suffered a serious accident on Wednesday of last week. His horse 
became unmanageable under the elevated road in Harlem, owing 
to fright, caused by a passing train, and collided with another 
horse, throwing Mr. Detmold from his carriage to the pavement. 
Mr. Detmold's scalp was severely cut, and required several 
stitches, but we are greatly pleased to add that his injuries are 
not dangerous, and that he is rapidly recovering.

Waps';e Gun Club. 
Crescent City, la.. May 27.— The Wapsie Gun Club, of Central 
City, la., held its annual shoot on May 27. It was intended to 
have a two days' tournament, and the club had provided an ex- 
cellent programme, with $50 offered for average money. But the 
fact that thej^, immediately followed the Dubuque meet, and that 
the weather had been very unsettled, caused the attendance to fall 
far below the number expected. Fifteen men faced the traps and 
shot the first day's events; but it was decided not to carry out 
the latter half of the programme. Fred Gilbert and W. H. Heer 
tied for high average, losing only six targets each. Taylor had 
second and Linell third place. The Wapsie Gun Club gold 
medal was won by O. N. Ford, with a perfect score, and John 
Brookman duplicated the performance in a 25-bird race for the 
Linn county silver cup. Trade representatives shot for targets 
only, except in a special event at 10 doubles, which was won by 
Riehl with a score of 19. 
The Wapsie Club has nice grounds on the banks of the pretty 
little river of that name, and it is to be hoped that they will not 
be discouraged over the combination of circumstances that 
counted against them on this occasion. Scores are subjoined:

Poughfceepsie Gun Club. 
PoL'GHKEEPsiE, N. Y., June 4.— The regular monthly shoot of 
this club to-day was well attended, there being two handsome cups 
to attract the boys — the Club Cup, which is shot for monthly, 
and tlie Marshall Cup, which is being shot for weekly, both of 
which must be won six times by one party to become personal 
property. To-day there were three scratch men — Tallman, Traver 
and Russell — and all three put up a good article of shooting. Tall- 
man and Russell tying for the Marshall Cup on 24, Tallman break- 
ing that number straight. In the club cup event (No. 8) Mr. 
F. I. Fenn, with three misses allowed as breaks, scored 24, there- 
by winning this trophy. Owing to Mr. Tallman's time being 
limited— he, in fact, having left the grounds before Mr. Russell 
had shot — the tie was not shot off. It is expected, however, that 
the tie will be decided next Thursday. 
The Poughkeepsie Gun Club is now in a flourishing condition. 
We have one of the best grounds and finest appointments in the 
State. Regular weekly shoot is held every Thursday, and we 
would be pleased to have visiting sportsmen join us at any time. 
To all such our latch string is ever hanging outward. Scores:

Dover Sportsmea's Association. 
Dover, N. H., June 6.— We, the Dover Sportsman's Associa- 
tion, held our usual weekly practice shoot at our grounds, and 
had quite an enjoyable time. The presence of the ladies made 
it more enjoyable still. 
Our scores were not very creditable, and I think the gentlemen 
who took part would not care to see their names in print. 
\\'e have had quite a number of forest fires in our vicinity, and 
the atmosphere was full of smoke, and the targets disappeared 
almost before we could shoot. I inclose a clipping from the 
Somersworth Free Press, a local paper, that I think is worthy of 
republication: 
"On holidays, when young men may be seen around in baseball 
clothes with bats slung over their shoulders, there may be seen 
in this city men, young and old, with gun cases, all moving as 
though by a common impulse. They are going to the grounds 
of one of the gun clubs to try their hands at shooting. Now- 
shooting with the shotgun or rifle is excellent sport. It calls for 
a clear bed, steady nerves and good vision. One who would be 
a good shot must be a careful, systematic man, who takes time 
to learn all about his weapons and his ammunition. The hit-or- 
miss, happy-go-lucky sort of a fellow never can make an expert 
user of the gun or rifle. The qualities of mind and body which 
go to make a man a good shot, make him also a good, orderly 
citizen. Dover has some good gun clubs, and some experts, who 
can be always relied upon to render a good account of them- 
selves." D^ W. Hallam, Sec'y. 
Pittsfield vs. Dalton. 
M0UNT.A.IN View, Pittsfield, Mass., June G.— Dalton Rod and 
Gun Club vs. Pittsfield Rod and Gun Club match, held on Sat- 
urday, June 6, at Dalton, eleven men on a team, 25 blue rocks to 
each man. 
The Dalton men made a very good showing, considering the 
fact that they have been organized but a short time. H. S. Sid- 
way was high gun for the day and broke 24 out of 25 in the 
match. 
Pittsfield (25)— J. H. Wood 13, Dr. Hubbell 12, Tracy 17. Joe 
Shearer 17, Sidway 24, Henry IS, Graves 17, A. Wood S, Ben Smith 
14. Dr. Treasdo 13, Dr. Woodruff 14; total 167. 
Dalton (25)— Flansburgh IS, Bartlett 13, Claressy 13, Groesbeck 
14, R. SilvemaU 10, Messinger 16, Martin 17, Shedd 17, Pierce 10 
A. Silvernail 17, Veats S; total 153. Pittsfield won by 14. 
Trap at Milwaukee. 
Milwaukee, Wis., has any number of good gun clubs, both rifle 
and shotgun, and the weekly meetings are well attended, yet of 
late years those who shoot at regular tournaments do not compare 
with former years. Being a holidaj- (Decoration Day) there 
should have been more than fourteen men out to encourage the 
south side boys in their attempt to give a tournament. The fol- 
lowing day more shooters came, both from the city and through- 
out the State. Dering and Kaufman, two well-known rivals, were 
present the second day, neither shooting up to form. But the 
wind does have a sweep on the hill, where the boys shoot. The 
scores:

Memphis Gun Club. 
^Iemphis, Tenn., may be safely put down now as gaining 
ground as a shooting city; whether the high price of cotton makes 
prosperous times I will not here say, yet the latest big gathering 
of shooters would indicate same. 
The Lucy Gun Club held their opening shoot May 27, and as 
they were in for a good time, a barbecue was added. They were 
sociably inclined, and m.embers of other clubs, viz., the Mem- 
phis, Bluff City and Shelby, turned out and assisted in the shoot- 
ing and eating. 
Abe Frank was the handicapper, .and did his work well. He 
shot well himself, and was high gun. How the good things did 
disappear when dinner was announced. All present voted the 
Lacy Club the prince of entertainers. The scores:

WESTERN TRAP. 
Chicago, 111., June 6. — Mr. Max Hensler, runner-up in the 
Grand American Handicap, is in town to-day, after an extended 
trip through the West. Mr. Hensler thinks that the Cincinnati 
shoot next week ought to run 150 entries, and believes that the 
open conditions, everybody 16 yards, will bring out nearly every- 
body in the country. In the past the experts believed in any- 
thing but handicaps, but so great is the number of first-raters 
among the amateurs to-day that the professionals need about as 
much protection as anyone else. 
Mr. Hensler was down at San Antonio last winter, and tells 
me that since he has talked with Col. Guessaz and others about 
the possibilities of a big open-for-all shoot at San Antnio next win- 
ter, everybody to go on the 16-yard line. There seems to be 
an impression that a big event of this kind could be made a suc- 
cess in the South. Times are still good, money fairly plenty, and 
travel, therefore, easy and general. San Antonio could easily 
take care of a large number of shooters.

Trap at Colorado Sprinj;s. 
Colorado Springs, Col. — John W. Garrett has not shot much 
since he returned from St. Joseph and Kansas City, but on Fri- 
day, May 29, he got up a crowd. Though the wind was blowing 
very strong, he fired his usual string of 400 and over. Shooters 
East read of so many good scores made out here that they will 
be surprised at the 85 per cent, one inclosed, viz:

A Challenge. 
Winchester, N. H., June 1. — I should like to shoot a match 
at 100 blue rock targets, thrown from magautrap, with any man 
that is a resident of the State of New Hampshire, for a sum that 
will cover the expense of such shoot. I am shooting for the 
sport of the game. I would be glad to meet some of my State' 
shots in a friendly shoot.
