Soo Gun Club. 
Sioux City, la., June 11.— The ninth annual tbui-nament of the 
Soo Gun Club, held at their beautiful grounds in Sioux City, on 
June 9, 10 and 11, was one that every shooter who attended will 
long remember with pleasure. The management extended e\'ery 
courtesy to the shooters, and there was no hitch to mar the events. 
The events were shot over three sets of expert traps, using the 
famous Soo trap pull. All expressed themselves as well pleased 
with the thorough, businesslike way in which the tournament was 
managed. 
The Soo Gun Club has a large handsome club house, with a 
dining room on the second floor, in which excellent meals were 
Served at noon. Numerous visitors from the city attended, and 
Jrcm the veranda of the club house watched the events with in- 
terest. 
Field Captain H. H. Hawman kept things moving lively at the 
traps, while J. W. Gray, president; W. F. Duncan, secretary; C. 
E. Ellis, treasurer, were also busy extending the "glad hand" to 
all visiting shooters. Mr. Larson, cashier of the shoot, is to be 
congratulated on the quickness in which he settled up with those 
lucky enough to be in the money. 
Aside from Fred Lord, no other professional shooter attended, 
though the trade was also represented by Fred Whitney, A. S. 
Carter, C. B Adams and M. F. Sharp. 
The weather on the first day was fair, with a slight breeee 
blowing, which did not materially bother the shooters. The pro- 
gramme had a total of 200 targets. Following are the scores of 
the first day;

June n, Third Day. 
The third and last day broke bright and clear, and the scores 
were better than on the two previous days. Several of the shoot- 
ers left after the events of yesterday, but there was still a suf- 
ficient number present to make things interesting. It looked for a 
while as though H. C. Taylor, of Heckling, S. D., was going to 
equal Fred Gilbert's record on these traps of 104 straight, but 
missed his 95th bird. Following are the scores:

Rochester is Defiant. 
The following is taken from the Rochester (N. Y.) Express, of 
June 6. The editor undoubtedly meant well, but on some points 
he is inaccurate. For instance, there was no championship of the 
United States last year. Performances on certain grounds under 
certain weather conditions, are not to be justly compared to per- 
formances on other grounds under certain other weather condi- 
tions, differences of backgrounds, target flights, etc: 
"In its arguments for the bill preventing the use of live birds 
in gun club tournaments, the Post-Express has insisted that quite 
as much pleasure was to be obtained from the use of clay pigeons, 
and that there was opportunity for a still greater display of skill 
—with no cruelty, no useless slaughter of God's creatures, and no 
demoralizing influence upon the community. It is a pleasure to 
record the fact that the sportsmen of Rochester have fallen m 
cordially with the new order of things, that they are not using 
live birds, and that their tournaments with clay pigeons as the 
targets have been in the highest degree enjoyable and successful. 
The amount of skill that has been developed here is really re- 
markable. There was a contest yesterday for the championship of 
the county Harrv M. Stewart being required to defend the trophy 
recently won. He broke 96 birds out of 100, and Kershner tied 
him while another competitor broke 94. and a fourth 92. In the 
shoot-oft' Stewart won with 98 out of 100. This was most extraor- 
dinary; out of 200 targets, thrown at unknown angles, he broke 
194 Few men ever lived who could do as well as this. Last 
year the championship of the United States was won with a 
score of 94 out of 100, which was beaten six times on the Roches- 
ter grounds vesterday. This year, at the Grand American, after 
a whole week of shooting, the best record was 95 out of 100. 
The Rochester gunners, therefore, are to be congratulated upon 
the remarkable skill they have developed. If there are gunners 
in other cities who think they can shoot, let them come on; 
Kochester is ready for them! The city now stands, in the trap- 
shooting world, where it stood years ago, in the days of live- 
bird contests, practically in a class by itself. 
Bemidji Toufnament* 
Bemidji, Minn.— The Bemidji tournament, held June 5 and 6, 
had pleasant weather conditions. 
June 5, First Day. 
The day was favorable for big scores. Hirschy was high with 
171 out of 175, breaking the last 107 straight from the 16, 18 and 
20yd. marks. The last 70 were from 20yds. The scores:

June 6, Second Day, 
There was harder shooting on the second day, owing to a stfotlg 
wind. Mr. B. O. Seymour, of Grand Forks, was high for the two 
days in the amateur contingent. He made a run of 64 from the 
16, 18 and 20yd. marks. H. C. Hirschy was high for both days, 
losing but 9 targets. 
The attendance was disappointing as to numbers. The visitors 
were all pleased with the kind of hospitable treatment they re- 
ceived from the members of the local club, and next year's shoot 
will be much more largely attended.

The general manager, Mr. F. W. Heubach, writes us as follows: 
"Will you kindly give notice in your trapshooting tournament 
fixtures of our seventh annual tournament, to be held Monday, 
Tuesday and Wednesday, July 20, 21 and 22, in Exhibition grounds 
at Winnipeg. We hope you will again, as you did last year, 
arrange to cover our tournament, for I think I may say that it is 
the most important meet of trap shots in the West. The manage- 
ment will again be in the hands of our Mr. Holland, who has 
successfully conducted our last five tournaments. H. C. Hirschy, 
so well and favorably known among all trap shots, will manage 
the office.*'
