FOREST AND STREAM, 
199 
Dominion of Canada Tottfnament* 
Hamilton, Canada.— I regret the unavoidable delay in forward- 
ing the balance of the scores due to our desire to hand them to 
vou in proper order and in adequate form. In the team race for 
the Mail trophy, the Sherbrooke Gun Club has protested against 
che Ridgetown team on the grounds that all their members were 
■not residents of Ridgetown, one man coming from a distance of 
ibout 60 miles, out of said place; the matter is still in the hands 
' he committee, and a decision equitable to all parties concerned 
assured. 
Jack Fanning refereed the above match; J. H. Cameron and Mr. 
Ellis acted as scorers. 
Manufacturers' representatives present were: Rupert Watson, 
John Parker, J. H. Cameron, A. H. Fox, F. Conover, Jack Fan- 
riing, D. F. Pride. 
The championship of Canada was won by H. Throop, of Ottawa. 
His success was a matter of delight to all his friends. 
Atfg. iSf Second Day.

Chesapeake Gan Clob, 
Newport News, Va., Aug. 27.— The annual shoot of the Vir- 
ginia Trapshooters' Association will begin in Lynchburg, Aug. 31, 
and will last two days. It is probable that one or two of ' the 
members of the local club will go up and shoot as individuals, but 
there will be no team to represent Newport News. 
Recently five of the local shooters organized a team and chal- 
lenged all comers to shoot for the privilege of representing Tide- 
water, Virginia, at the State shoot, the losing teams to share with 
the winner the expenses of the winning team on the trip to Lynch- 
burg. No answers have been received, so it looks as though there 
will be no team to go as Tidewater's representative. 
The Portsmouth team, of which Mr. T. F. Stearnes, of this citv 
is a member, will shoot in the annual affair. Mr. Stearnes will go 
to Portsmouth to shoot with the club to-day. 
The Chesapeake Gun Club had its regular "shoot yesterday after- 
noon. The trap was not working well and a strong breeze was 
blowing, so the shooting was difficult and the scores not as good 
as usual, especially during the early part of the afternoon. 
Out of a possible 25 in each of the seven events the following 
scores were made:
