FOREST AND STREAM, 
[Aug. 23, igo2. 
Tecttmseh Tournament. 
Despite the fact that "shoots" in this section have been as 
thick as flies on tanglefoot fly-paper for the past sixty days, the 
"biggest little shoot on earth," which is the annual fixture, and 
which was pulled off by the Tecuniseh Gun Club on their grounds 
at Tecumseh, Mich., Aug. 8, was more largely attended than any 
previous event in Michigan. 
Cleveland, Toledo and Detroit, as well as all the minor towns 
for an hundred miles about were well represented by expert 
marksmen. 
Fifty-five men faced the traps, and including the scores of those 
who shot onl}r for birds, and the extra events, 12,000 targets were 
thrown. The large attendance was handled with nicety, and there 
was practically no dela3' at the traps. 
The brethren Stanley, of Norlhville, carried off the honors of the 
day for high averages, G. Stanley averaging 87, while M. Stanley 
averaged 85 per cent. Some one suggested that "G" stands for 
Goodshot and "M" for Marksriian. 
Ad. Collum, of Ann Arbor, won low average for the day with 
72 per cent., and was presented with a handsomely engrossed 
order on a local dentist to have two teeth extracted. 
Scotty, of Grass Lake, was third high man, and had to content 
himself with a silver cake dish, an article which pleased him more 
than the $90 medal which he won at Kansas Citv. 
Perhaps the most interest centered in the Finletter cup event. 
Pontius Pilate Wood, of Detroit, won the cup originally at Adrian 
with a sti-aight score of 25, but here he tied with seven others on 
22. It looked as if there might be an exciting shoot-off, but 
Sayers. of Leslie, quenched the ardor of the other aspirants bv 
breaking 23. The decisive score will be made by Mr. Wood and 
Mr. Sayers, at Battle Creek. 
Appended is a tabulated list ot scores and percentages. It is 
unfortunate that the train schedule compelled Mr. Wood and 
the balance of the Deti-oit contingent to -leave before the last 
event; otherwise Wood might have made it interesting for high 
average. - •

[The competition is unfinished. Messrs. Claridge Whitney F 
Bassett, Bristol. Bates and Potter tied on the possible 50 'and 
as one condition enjoins "all ties shot off," the competition is not 
finished till that condition is fulfilled. Handicap allowances do 
not permit of a score greater than the possible, which 'is the 
number of targets in the event.]

At the tournament of the Alabaraa State Association at Birming- 
ham, last week, there was a protracted struggle for high average 
between the two renowned shotgun artists. Messrs. R. O. Heikes 
and W. R. Crosby. Heikes was in the lead on the first day, but 
on the second day Crosby caught up, and the tie continued to the 
last event, which _\vas at 25 targets. Near the finish, Crosby lost

Olean Towtnament* 
Olean, N. Y., Aug. 14.— The two days' tournament held in this 
city under the auspices of the Olean Gun Club, Aug. 12 and 13, 
was a decided success in every particular. Shooters were present 
from Fredonia, Dunkirk, Rochester, Randolph, Conewango East 
Aurora, Bolivar, Allegany, Indian Creek, and other places.' The 
weather was fine, but a strong wind made the shooting difficult. 
Sen Sen won high average for the entire programme, and $20 in 
gold, breaking 313 out of 370 targets. Nobles won second average, 
$10 ni gold, breaking 311 out of 370. Mason won third average, 
.$5 in gold, breaking 306 out of 370. Wayne won low average. $5 
in gold, breaking 255 out of 370. 
The trophy donated by H. D. Kirkover. Jr., for the champion- 
shiij^ of Cattaraugus county was won by B. D. Nobles, of Olean, 
The great feature of the shoot was the contest for the Olean 
challenge trophy, held by H. D. Kirkover, Jr., of Fredonia, N. Y,, 
representing the championship of western New York and north- 
western Pennsylvania. The contestants were H. D Kirkover, Jr., 
J. R. Hull, F. F. Mason and B. D. Nobles. Frank E. Butler acted 
as master of ceremonies, and George R, Ginn as referee. There 
was a large crowd present, and every one took a great amount of 
interest in the match. The conditions were 100 targets per man at 
10yds., and Mr. Nobles proved to be an easy winner, being always 
in the lead from the first crack of the gun. 
The crowd present went wild with enthusiasm, and it was with 
difficulty that Mr. Nobles succeeded in getting into the club 
house without being carried on the shoulders of his club mates. 
This decisive victory of Mr. Nobles over such a renowned shooter 
as Mr. Kirkover puts him in the front ranks, and we hope he 
will be present at the big handicap shoots, and there is no doubt 
he will make all the top-notchers hustle. Following are the scores:

Peters Gan Club of New Paris, O. 
New Paris, O., Aug. 9.— The Peters Gun Club, of New Paris, 
was organized here to-day with sixteen members, and the Peters 
trophy was contested for in a 25-target event. The day was dark 
and rainy, and many shooters who had intended to come were 
on that account not here. However, the onlookers were numerous, 
and a lot of enthusiasm was stirred up during the medal event. 
L. H. Reid, the Peters Cartridge Company's agent, and Snakes 
Clark, a local crack shot with a very enviable record, undoubtedly 
star-ted in with the intention of one or the other of them winning 
the trophy easily, but the expression on their faces bore evi- 
dence of undeniable sadness and disgust, when it was discovered 
that Reid's little brother Jim had slipped up on them and won 
the coveted trophy with a score of 25. And the way Jim 
"swelled tip" over his success was wonderful. In fact, the town 
would hardly hold him, and his wife says that she is very proud 
of him now. 
Jim says that the targets looked as big as barrels to him, and 
he couldn't miss them. 
The trophy event scores, with allowances added, are as follows: 
L. H. Reid (0) 22, H. Brown (5) 17, Snakes Clark (0) 19, S. J Dun- 
lap (0) 16, E. O'Neill (3) 14, C. C. Hawley (9) 15, Geo. Arnold (5) 
23, G. L. Lyne (3) 24. Harry Smith (7) 23, J. S. Cole (2) 17, C. 
Kirkpatrick (11) 23, E. Clements (5) 19, Jim Reid (5) 25, E. 
Sherer (9) 23, E. French (0) 19, J. Tillman (5) 15, J. Addleman 
(lO)' 20. > 
The Richmond (Ind.) Gun Club has challenged New Paris for a 
five-man team shoot, to take place at the Richmond Shooting 
Park, Friday, Aug. 15, and the event bids fau- to be of a very in- 
teresting nature. There are some good shots at both places, and 
each team will put forth special efforts to win the contest.

D. P. M., Olney, 111. — A farmer brought to town this morning 
(Aug. 9) a bird that is a stranger here. Its description is as fol- 
low's: Weight 5%lbs,, legs 22in., bill S^^in., neck lOin., wings 5ft, 
from tip to tip. Color. — Head gray, body white, primary and sec- 
ondary feathers black, legs black, tail feathers black. The farmer 
that shot it says it was in a tree and was accompanied by nearly a 
hundred otliers like it. Can you tell us what it is? Ans. 'The 
description in many respects fits the wood ibis, so-called (Tantalus 
loculator), which is really a stork and not an ibis. In some respects 
your description does not agree with the wood ibis. It is hard to 
identify birds from these general descriptions. If a wood ibis, 
the bird was a young" one.

The new .33 caliber rifle now being sold by the Winchester 
Company will no doubt prove popular with big-game hunters. It 
is a powerful arm, using a specially designed cartridge, which is 
said to furnish "terrific killing power." Its appearance at this 
date, when big-game hunters are making their preparations for the 
autumn hunt, is especially timely. A full description of the new 
arm may be had on application to the Winchester Repeating Arms 
Company, New Haven, Conn. 
There are few things about a boat more important than the 
covering which protects it from the ravages of the water, and the 
yacht or boat builder needs the very best paint that is made. 
Needing this excellence, he will do well to write for information 
to the Chilton Paint Company, whose advertisement is found in 
another column.. ' 
The name of Park & Tilford has been famous to those who buy 
fine groceries in New York for more than a generation, and there 
are now plenty of middle-aged men who can remember, as small 
boys, how their fathers used to depend on Park & Tilford. The 
camper needs goods of the best quality, and these he can obtain 
from this firm. 
1278 Broadway, New York City. — ^Inclosed find my check for bill

Those of us who have been handling the gun for a long time 
find that we do not see as well as we used to, and at last we 
have to come to glasses. There are various sorts of glasses, but 
those made by the Spencer Optical Company are worth investi- 
gating. They seem to be just about right. 
At the tournament of the Olean, N. Y., Gun Club, Aug. 12 and

The rubber sole of the Barber Hunting Shoe is noiseless, and 
yet sticks to the ground, two important points for the still-hunter, 
who must travel silently and must never slip. A circular of this 
shoe will be sent on application by the manufacturer. 
All sportsmen wear shirts — the rule has no exception. Fullin-
