FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Aug, i6, 1902. 
Lafayette Tottmament* 
Lafayette, Ind., has been noted for many years for its large 
well-conducted tournaments. They are ever popular with the State 
shooters and also draw from all the adjoining States. 
This year is memorable as being that in which was held the 
sixteenth annual tournament. It drew shooters from Illinois, 
Kentucky and Ohio. There has been a great deal of shooting in 
Indiana this year, yet the shooters do not seem to tire. They 
were here from almost all the towns in the State. In all, there 
were over sixty shooters present, yet I am sorry to mention that 
a number of those who came on the first day shot in a few events 
only and then sought early trains for home. This can be ac- 
counted for in this way : there wa.s a strong wind facing the 
shooters, and the targets were quite uncertain in their flights. 
Then the traps were screwed up so that the targets were alighting 
in the next township, and as the • boys could not get in the 
money, they declined to shoot. 
The dates were Aug. 6 and 7. 
The rules provided for the Sergeant system, American Associa- 
tion rules, revised. What the revised rules were was hard to find 
out. Part of the time the Interstate ' rules were used, and a part 
of the time the old American rules governed. 
The grounds are first class. They face to the northeast and are 
situated quite near the street car line. There is nothing elaborate 
in the way of club house and amphitheater such as the old grounds 
were provided with, yet the small club house was ample for office 
work. There was a large tent provided for the shooters, with 
tables and benches. 
The club has not a large actual membership such as it once had, 
but the same men are at the head, as they have been for about 
ten years, viz.: M. W. Thompson, President; Dr. J. W. Mullen, 
Vice-President; Jas. Blistain, Secretary; Louis Krauss, Treasurer; 
Alva Livinguth, Captain. Of these, Krauss and Mullen have given 
up shooting, owing to imperfect vision, but Thompson, Blistain 
and Livinguth are the same old target smashers of yore. They 
shot in every event. Blistain also kept the books, yet he made 
a few straight scores just to keep the boys thinking of him.. 
"Slow's" system of bookkeeping was -well worth copying, and if 
adopted would save much work and delay in figuring and paying 
out the money. 
Using but one set of traps, the programme was not finished at 
sundown, and three events were carried over to the second day. 
Considering the wind and flight, Thompson, who was high man 
with but 14 goose eggs, while Phellis was second and Kirby third, 
some of the regular old-timers like Partington fell away below 
their average.

The 'morning sun was bright, and the day promised fair, but be- 
fore noon the clouds gathered and there was a slight rainfall, 
which, howevei", delayed the shoot but a short time; but this was 
sufficient to cause the wind to blow for the remainder of the day 
and in a different direction from 3'cstcrday, and coming mostly from 
behind, caused many a target Io jump douii and out of the load 
of 71/2 shot. Especi.slly was the wind heavy during the badge 
shoot; hence no phenomenal scores were made, and yet that ot 
Phellis with 47 and Thompson and Glover with 46 were above the 
average, if the conditions are considered. Several neAv faces were 
seen on the grounds to-day, and many present yesterday were 
absent. After the medal shoot was over the delegations from In- 
dianapolis and Crawfordsville look their leave. 
The center of attraction was in favor of Thompson to win the 
diamond badge. He did win out, but with a struggle, as he was 
tied by Glover, and had but one to spare in the shoot-off. This 
is the first time dttring the ten years that the badge has been shot 
for that it has been v/on by a member of the Lafayette Gun Club. 
Thompson is nov/ the most prominent man in the shooting line in 
the State, being president of the Lafayette Gun Club, president of 
the Indiana State League, and v/inner here of high average for first 
day, and the wearer of the diamond badge — good many honors for 
one jjian, but he is modest and bears them all without undue 
emotion. The scores: 
Glcver 46 Farrell 43. Williamson 44, Dunbar 39. Pard 44, PhelHs

Spirit Lake, la., Aug. 7. — Burmister and Klein's two-day tour- 
nament, Aug. 6 and 7, had about thirty shooters each day The 
programme called for eight 15 and four 20 target events each day; 
$7 was added to each of the 20-target events. 
The tournament was open to amateurs only. Manufacturers' 
agents were welcome to shoot for targets. Budd and Gilbert were 
the only two agent's in attendance. The shooting was from one 
set of traps. Sergeant system. A high wind each day made the 
shooting quite difficult. 
Gilbert was in fine form, and made a remarkable store, shoot- 
ing the entire programme of 200 the first day without a miss and 
losing" but 9 out of the 200 on the second day. On the last day 
a 15-live-bird handicap was shot. A high wind prevailed. Some 
of the birds were quite fast, but the majority were slow and hard 
to make fly. 
Aug. 8. — Klein will take a party of his shooting friends fishing, 
and promises them some fine sport.

Greenville Tournament* 
Aug. 9.— Situated not far from the center of the State, which is 
almost surrounded by the Great Lakes, may be found the lively 
city of Greenville, Mich. There are enough shooting men here 
to organize and maintain a good shooting club,, and to get in 
touch with the shooters they advertised a tournament to be held 
during the Good Roads Convention, which carried with it half 
fare rates on all the railroads. The club is fortunate in having ■ 
enterprising officers, as Mr. C. H. Rich as president, "and Mt, 
J. M. Fisher as secretary are a team hard to beat, both at 
shooting and hustling shooters. These gentlemen were a little dis- 
appointed in riot having more shooters present, yet most of those 
who were here kept the trap going all day, though some of the 
visitors found attraction.s in the base ball and other amusement. 
that were "on tap." 
As to iNlr. Fisher, to whom had been intrusted almost the sole 
management of the shoot, and whose name will not appear in the 
scores. 1 am sorry to mention that, while wrestling with a load of 
targets he was thrown from the wagon by a sudden start of the 
team, and falling on his shoulder, was so much shaken up that he 
could not even be present on the grounds. However, as the trap 
worked well — yes, too well, as its, throwing capacity was beyond the 
limits of "fair targets" — and there was a good man in the office 
to handle the cash-— and Mr. Rich was busy all the time when 
not shooting — there was only one complaint, that of poor scores, 
and that was caused by too much speed on the targets. Many of 
the shooters put up their guns on this account and sought other 
sources of amusement. Here the scribe feels constrained to re- 
mind all clubs deserving to hold tournaments to avoid dates 
which are holidays or when there is some other attraction in town. 
Even the club members cannot attend the shoot on such days. 
The club has good grounds, facing north, situated west of 
town, easily reached by foot or wagon. While there are no build- 
, ings, ample shelter in the way of tents was provided. 
Among those present were A. D. Caldwell, of Flint, Mich,; 
Max Flensler. Battle Creek, Miph. ; T. S. Cole. Hinsdale. Mass. ; 
Dr, S, M. Gleason, Jr., M» Debtees E> A. Kemp, C. H. Rich and 
J. M. Fisher, of Greenville; J. A. Skinner, John Beuchas, J. W. 
B. Turk, R. C. Blackburn, of Cedar Springs, IMich.; W. W. Mc 
Queen, Bay City, Mich.; M, H. Spanogle, Orleans, Mich., and 
Geo. E. Flint, F. A. Wright, S. J. Case, and Luther Bishop, of 
Carson City, Mich. 
Mr. McQueen was easily high man and few straight scores were 
made. The scores:

Interstate at Haverhill. 
ITaveehill, Mass., Au^. 9. — ^Those readers of your entertaining 
paper who have no speaking acquaintance with trapshooting could 
with reason be excused for thinking that instead of an Interstate 
Association tournament, together with Manager Shaner and all 
the "fixings,'-' there was to be just an ordinary tlwee-ring circus 
showing in Haverhill, Aug. 27 and 28. 
The committee who are doing the hard work are of -one opin- 
ion, that some features of this tournament will caiise the prospect 
• of a circus to look small in comparison. 
Should the dreams of the said committee materialize, a certain 
little lady shooter will grace the occasion. Miss Annie Oakley; 
and should nothing serious occur to prevent his attendance, such, 
for instance, as a radical advance in price of U. M. C. goods, the 
President will be one of our number. President Roosevelt? 
Oh, no! President of the Interstate Association, Dressei. During 
the progress of the Association programme the committee will re- 
spectfully suggest to those who find the time between events 
hanging heavily on their hands, that they step due northeast from 
the club house about ten paces, where the uneasy ones who pos- 
sess a close-shooting gun and who have the capability of pointing 
it right may secure some one useful article, ranging from a gold 
coin to a tooth brush. Judging from present indications, Manager 
Shaner will • have on his hands a large, healthy and boisterous 
crowd. 
The outlook for a good number of teams in the Interstate event 
is excellent. New York and possibly New Jersey will be repre- 
sented, while at least four of the New England States are a fore- 
gone conclusion. 
It should be well to remember this point. Express trains for 
Haverhill leave Boston at 8 and 8:30 A. M.

Mr. A. H. Funke. 98 Duane street. New York, has inti-o- 
duced a new model Mannlicher rifle, 8 mm. (.315cal.), known as 
No. 3. It is made in 24, 26 and 28in. barrels, in genera! appearance 
like the high-priced models, but the finish will be American style, 
round barrel and plain stock, pistol grip and shotgun butt. The 
new catalogue is now ready, and can be obtained on application 
to Mr. Funke as per address herein given. — Adzr. 
To get up in the dark, hunt for a match, find the lantern or 
candle and light it, is to most of us an old story, and we know 
what a nuisance it is. Such inconvenience is abolished by the 
Evening Star Flash Light, which, by a mere pressure of the 
thumb, gives a brilliant light. Every camper should at least see 
the catalogue of the Electric Contract Co. — Adv. 
The still-hunting shoes made by E. A. Buck & Co., of Bangor. 
Maine, arc especially well thought of in the New England and 
Adirondack woods, and will no doubt continue to be popular. 
They are very easy on- the foot and at the same time it is claimed 
for them that they are noiseless. They are said to be very use- 
ful in light skiffs and canoes, which they never injure. — Adv. 
There arc few gunners or anglers who do not possess among 
their himschoid ornaments, mammals, birds or fishes, wliich are to 
them tire visible representation of some especially happy day 
afield. The glass eyes in most of these come from the manu- 
factory of J. Kanofi'sky, who has been, for so many years an 
advertiser in the Forest and Stream. — Adv. 
Mitchel! rods have had a goodly fame among American anglers 
for, lo, these many j'ears, and it is satisfactorv' to know that the 
business so long and so successfully conducted by the father is 
still carried on by the son., whose advertisement appears in another 
cdl\iixxn.—Adv. 
Most of us like to announce our membership in gun or 
vacht club by wearing the pin or badge adopted by the olub. 
Van Sise & Chapter, manufacturers of fine. Jewelry of this city, 
make a specialty of designing and making such emblems.— 
It is a good deal more than twenty years since the Thompson 
hunting boots were first talked of. Their usefulness has stood the 
test of time, and they are still popular and are now being adver- 
tised by Mr. T. H. Guthrie, of Newark, N. J. —Adv. 
Mr. W. Starling Burgess, the naval architect, of Boston, Mass., 
continues to furnish designs and plans for yachts. At the con- 
clusion of the present racing season it may be imagined that a 
great building season will set in. — Adv. - , '
