President G. Dal Fox writes us that "The Milton (PaO 
Rod and Gun Club will hold a two days' shooting tournament, 
August 21 and 22, at Ranyler's Park, one mile east of this borough 
limits. The club already has the assurance that some o( the best 
shots in the county will be present," 
There are some rumors floating about, the purport of which is 
that the Grand American Handicap at Live Birds completed its 
end with the reeeut tournament at Kansas Cit)'. It is to be re- 
gretted that one, a final one if need be, is not positively arranged 
to be held at San Antonio. 
The succotash party and tournament given to the Wanderers 
by Dr. VV. L. Gardiner, at his chaj-ming home in East Orange, 
N. J., on Saturday of last week, was well attended, twenty-five 
shooters participating in the competition. Every nne seemed to 
have enjoyment unalloyed, 
The Haverhill, Mass., Gim Club is most energetically endeavor- 
ing to make a success of the forthcoming tournament given for it 
by the Interstate Association. The Haverhill tournaments are 
noted for good competition, good fellow.ship and skillful manage- 
ment in all particulars. 
The Wanderers will visit the Jackson Park (nin Club, of Pater- 
son, N. J., on Saturday of this week, and the Saturday following 
they will visit the North River Gun Club, at Kdgewater, N. J. 
Aug. 23, they will visit the VVestwood, N. J., Gun Club's clam 
l)ake. They will shoot actively at each place, in a modest way, 
.'\t the tournament of the Southeastei-n Iowa Amateur Associa- 
tion, Newton, la., July 29 and 30, Mr. Fred Gilbert was higii 
average with the extraordinarily high percentage of .989. Eight 
others shot 90 per cent, or better. 
The Wanderers are rapidly fattening their treasury, though why 
they need a treasury at all, there being no expenses of any import- 
ance, is not at all apparent. The qupfition then is: Why is it? 
On Sunday last, Mr. Theodore R. Itostetter, of Pittsburg, Pa., 
died. He was a member of the Herron Mill GUn Club, and quite 
famous locally as a trap shot of skilL 
The secretary, Mr. R. W. Sample, informs us that the East 
T-iverpool (Ohio) Gun Club will hold a tournament on Septem- 
ber 10. 
There is open target shootinjr at Watson's Park; Burnside Cross- 
ing, lU., every Saturday.

Haverhill Gun Cljb Tournament. 
Haverhill, Mass., July 31.— The committee of the Haverhill 
Gun Club are busy these days arranging matters that should prove 
both interesting and profitable to those who will participate, and 
who are capable of such co-ordination of brain and trigger fingers 
that shot and target will meet at a given point during the Inter- 
state Association tournament, Aug. 27-28. 
The club is the fortunate possessor on its membership roll of 
those who, while they rarely take an active part in shooting, are 
ready at all times to further any project that will cause visiting 
shooters to retain pleasant recollections of Haverhill. 
These members, together with the merchants and business men, 
have made it possible for the club to offer, in addition to the 
regular Interstate Association programme, a special event, which 
carries with it both cash and merchandise prizes. 
The committee are not at this writing in a position to state ac- 
curately what these prizes will be, although they are willing to go 
on record as saying that a few halves and quarters of our "glori- 
ous bird of freedom," as represented by what the "gold bugs" 
term sound currency, will head the list of these special prizes. 
This event will be run on an extra trap throughout the two days, 
under conditions that should be unique and interesting, as well 
as sportsmanlike and fair. 
The programmes for the extra day's tournament are out, and 
the committee are of one mind that all who figure in the ten 
events will realize they have recently attended a shooting match. 
Would again advise those who will attend this tournament to 
either bring or send an extra supply of ammunition. 
The committee have arranged to have an abundance of the 
standard loads on sale. Those who anticipate attending, and who 
prefer a different load than those standard loads before mentioned, 
should notify the secretary at once, and they will be ready.

Baltimore Shooting Association. 
Baltimore, Aug. 2.— The new average handicap system intro- 
duced by T. C. Hicks was used to-day for , the first time on the 
Baltimore 'Shooting Association grounds and gave perfect satisfac- 
tion. This is the only system ever used whereby every shooter 
handicaps himself, and every shooter is placed on equal footing. 
In the club event J. R. Malonc, J. W. Chew, W. R. Biddle and 
C. C. Peters made clean scores of 50 each with their bird allow- 
ance. . ,.,,11 
Capt. E. H. Storr, who was using a new gun which he had 
never shot' before, made the remarkable score of 97 out of 100. _ He 
was high gun in' the open events, giving a beautiful exhibition 
of trapshooting. ^ , , • ^1 
The handicaps used yesterday will be continued during the 
month. Every one will be allowed to shoot up one back score, 
giving those who did not attend a chance to shoot up next week. 
Capt J. R. Malone and Dr. H. E. Lupus will leave to attend 
a four' days' shoot at Asheville, N. C. The scores:

Sistersville Gun Clofa. 
Sistersville, W- Va., Aug. 3.— Because of a red hot baseball- 
game that the local team had on for Saturday afternoon, Aug. 2, 
the attendance at our regular weekly club shoot was very light, 
several of our shooters taking in the game. McNaught and Bower, 
two of the, regulars were on hand as usual, and had as visitors 
F. C. Percival, Esq. (Cole), president of the West Virginia State 
Sportsmen's Association, of .St. Marys, and A. Bruce Hunt, Esq,, 
a prominent local attorney. While Mr. Hunt is one of the finest 
field shots in West Virginia, he has, until just recently, done no 
shooting at the trap, but with a little practice he will no doubt 
rank among the best. The following are the scores made:

Raleigh Gun Club. 
Raleigh, N. C, July 24.— Rain, just at the hour of the time 
for the Raleigh Gun Club shoot, prevented several from attend- 
ing. But the ones participating enjoyed it and tried but failed 
to reach the percentage of our president, Jas. I. Johnson. They 
must content themselves to do better next time. Mr. Johnson 
holds his record, 90 per cent, and above, and the conditions mu.St 
be very bad to lower it. We expect to have a four-days' shoot 
the last week in October with about $400 added money.
