Auburn, Me.. Aug, 14.— I send you herewith programme of a 
tournament hela on grounds of the Auburn Gun Qmb on Monday 
and Tuesday, Aug. 11 and 12; I also inclose the detail of scores 
made at this tournament, and newspaper clippnig, giving some 
data relative to the contest between the New England trapshooters. 
The first day of our tournament was extremely unfavorable, 
rain descending in torrents all day. But by having a covered 
blind, we were able to pull off part of the programme. The second 
day was all that could be desired, and we had a very successful 
shoot. Had both days been pleasant, we have no doubt we should 
have thrown as many as 20,000 targets.

Maine thus won this event by 17 targets. The previous shoot at 
Boston, the Massachusetts team won by 4 targets, but as this con- 
test was to be decided by best two out of three contests instead of 
by total targets shot at, the race is thus tied on this event.

Interstate Tottrnament at Brunswick* 
Brunswick, Me., Aug. 16.— For a number of years past the In- 
terstate Association when arranging its circuit has invariably in- 
cluded the State of Maine in its list of States for holding tourna- 
ments. This year was no exception. Brunswick was the point 
selected, the dates being Aug. 13 and 14. . . ^ 
Brunswick is a progressive little place of about 6,000 inhabitants. 
It is made very- attractive by the stately elms which adorn the 
roadsides and private estates. It is also the home of Eowdoin 
College, one of the oldest colleges in the country, having just 
celebrated its centennial. On Federal street may still be seen the 
house where Mrs. Stowe wrote "Uncle Tom's Cabin," and where 
Longfellow began his career as poet and professor. 
The Brunswick Gun Club, under whose auspices the tournament 
was given, was organized on April 19, 1901, largely through the 
elTorts of Mr. G. M, Whe'eler, who was the first president of the 
club, and Mr. G. B. Webber, the present president. The club 
has steadily gained in membership since being formed, until to- 
day it has about one hundred members, making it one of the 
largest gun clubs in the State. Several towns are represented in 
the club, members belonging in Brunswick. Bath, and Topsham. 
Every pleasant afternoon a shoot is held by the club at its grounds 
at Merrymeeting Park, and at these shoots some very good scores 
are made. 
The officers of the club at present are as follows: G. B. Webber, 
President; D. W. Scribner, Vice-President; L. Cecil ' Whitmore, 
Secretarv-Treasurer; G. B, Webber, O. B. Nason, J. D. Foster, 
Samuel Whitmore and G. M. Wheeler, Executive Committee. 
Through the courtesy of the street railway, the club has been 
allowed the use of a part of Merrymeeting Park as its shooting 
grounds. The club erected a splendid trap house, with buildings 
for the scorers, cashier, etc., making a cozy home. 
Thirty-three shooters were present the first day, quite a number 
of them being visitors, and fine sport was enjoyed. The scores 
did not rank high, but one contestant, Mr. E. C. Griffith, making 
90 per cent. The shooting could not be classed as hard, and 
numerous straight scores were recorded. However, a nasty wind 
blowing across the traps made the targets take some queer flights 
and wrecked the aspirations of several of the contestants. 
Griffith was high man with a score of ISO out of 200 shot at; 
Apgar was second with 179; Wheeler, third with 178, and Dickey 
fourth with 177. 
The second day of the tournament there were thirty-eight shooters 
present, and the tournament was brought to a very successful 
conclusion early in the afternoon. The weather conditions were 
nearly perfect, a slight wind being the only drawback. 
In addition to the regular programme, a merchandise shoot for 
some thirty prizes kept the boys busy during their spare mo- 
ments. It was a side issue, and but one trap was used; yet it 
afforded an immense amount of enjoyment to all. Out of several 
hundred trials but two straight scores of 15 were recorded. 
Some of the local club members claim that there would have 
been ten or a dozen more shooters present at this tournament 
were it not for the concluding tournament between Maine and 
Massachusetts being held at Auburn, Me., on Monday and Tues- 
day, Aug. 11 and 12, of this week. The;y stated that it was too 
much to ask a man to put in four consecutive days at a tournament, 
to say nothing of his neglecting business for that length of time. 
As Auburn is only nineteen miles from Brunswick, and both 
places would naturally draw from about the same shooters, it 
would seem that Brunswick's claim is well founded. 
Apgar was high man on the second day with a score of 191 out 
of 200 shot at. Griffith was second with 190, and Darton was third 
with 185. 
Griffith and Apgar were a tie for general average, and they 
divided first and second moneys, and Wheeler finished in third 
place. 
The trade was represented by the following: Messrs. T. H. 
Keller, Neaf Apgar, S. M. Van Allen, T. W. Morfey, E. E. 
Thompson, B. Leroy Woodard, B. H. Norton, O. R. Dickey 
and T. P". Doremus.

Monticello Tournament. 
MoNTicELLO, 111.— Something out of the usual order of shooting 
tournaments was pulled off here during the progress of the Emery 
tournamenL Aug. 11 and 12, a regular scheduled 50-target race. Sa 
entrance. Though the entries were not large, the scores were good. 
Rupert lined out 47, Keistcr 45 and Kinney 43. j , ■ 
For some time past the sporting fraternity has heralded the in- 
formation abroad that Monticello would give a tournament, as a 
large attendance was expected, but the all-day shooters were no8 
so plentiful as had been anticipated. During the summer and 
harvest time — especially when it rains a large part of the season-- 
is not the best time to hold a tournament in this, the center, of 
the best part of the great agricultural State of Illinois; yet there 
were twenty-five shooters on the ground during the day. 
The day was very favorable, slight wind and clear sky. The 
f rounds are ample and well situated. The traps were not in the 
est working order. There was a variety that kept the boys 
guessing; targets went high and low, fast and slow, and many a low 
score may be attributed to this variation. The score of Mr. Rupert 
was very creditable, while McKinney was second and Farmer 
Jones third. 
Those present were Lewis Meyers, DeLand, 111.; L. J, Standish, 
Bridgeport, Conn.: B. F. Garver, Farmer City, 111.; S. T. Kinney, 
Rodgers Park, 111.; T. L. Perry, Toulou, III.; Dr, H. B. Max- 
field, Fairmont, 111.; II. B. Harris, Monticello, III.; Geo. Rupert, 
Decatur, 111.; Farmer Jones, Farmer Cilv, 111.; Robert Emery, 
Solomon, III.; W. T. BrjKlen, Monticello, 111.; W. N. Gray, Lane, 
III.; Ezra Smith, Cerrogordo, III.; Ed. Miller, Lane, 111. 
Then Monticello was represented by Chas. Doss, T. M. Plum, 
E A. Thorp, O, Lubbers, Philip Widderheim, Ed. Williams and 
C. E. Emery. 
Mr. Emery was the manager and general hustler, and had a 
good bookkeeper in the cashier in the office. The scores:

Interstate at Haverhill. 
Haverhh-l, Mass., Aug. 16.— Editor Forest and Stream: This 
being the last opportunity of reaching the shooters through the 
medium of your entertaining journal ere the Interstate Association 
tournament at Haverhill becomes a matter of history, would say 
that the committee have, so far as their facilities would allow, 
spared no effort looking to a successful tournament. _ They are 
most anxious that all who participate shall'have a pleasant visit, 
and also carry away something substantial. 
The hotels of Haverhill are fully up to the standard in com- 
parison with cities of corresponding size when the location of such 
is near a large city, and they will he found to prove very satis- 
factory. 
With two sets of traps, an adequate supply of the standard 
loads, barrels of targets, money and prizes to struggle for, an 
abundance of good food at very reasonable prices, conditions of 
competition that are as nearly equitable as can be devised, and 
with energetic Manager Shaner to make tlie wheels go round, don't 
the prospect look good? 
The committee are designing a medal, the composition of which 
IS peculiar, to say the lea.st; same to be presented the first one 
expressing dissatisfaction as to conditions of this tournament. 
A word regarding the committee who have done the hard work 
preparing for this shoot— Messrs. Miller, Tozier, and George. To 
any who have not the pleasure of a close acquaintance with these 
three, they are true sportsmen, good fellows, and all colors of a 
darker .shade than pure white was left out of their composition. 
Should casual readers of the above imagine it to be an obituary 
notice, by making Haverhill, Mass., their headquarters Aug 27, 
28 and 29 the mistake will become apparent. C. F. LamberI!.
