The Breeder and Sportsman, of Aug. 30, has the following con- 
cerning a gentleman who distinguished himself in the East and in 
Europe as one of the iiiost skillful contestants at the traps, he 
having been in the first flight at Grand American Handicaps and 
the still harder competition abroad: "Clarence C. Nauman has 
joined the ranks of the Benedicts. He was quietly married last 
Sunday afternoon to Miss Martha Bates, a belle of Sonoma, and a 
young lady noted for the double qualities- of amiability of charac- 
ter and beauty. Mr. Nauman was at the Ingleside trapshooting 
grounds and won a cup in the forenoon, fitting augury for a 
happy future."

Consolidated Spoftsmen*s Association Tourna- 
ment* 
Grand Rapids, Mich., Sept. 6.— The Consolidated Gun Clubs 
of Grand Rapids gave a most successful two-day tournament this 
week on their grounds at North Park. Sixty' shooters partici- 
pated each day. The club added liberal purses to all events, and 
everything was done to make the occasion pleasant to visiting 
shooters. Targets were thrown from strong expert traps, and 
moneys were divided on the Rose system. 
The distance handicap was most severely applied, and as the 
grounds and conditions were extremely difficult, some of the best 
shots of the country who participated made very indifferent scores. 
The two days' programme included 455 targets, J. M. Hughes 
winning first place with the only 90 per cent, average. Other 
honors went to McMurchy, Cox. Hensler and Wilson. The sum 
of $50 was given for five high guns each day, and $60 for six low 
gun on completed programme. Summaries of scores and totals 
are appended:

Baltimore Shooting Association, 
Baltimore, Md., Aug. 30.— The Baltimore Shooting Association 
on Aug. 30 closed its target season. The final shoot was well at- 
tended. Fifteen shooters took part. 
The main interest centered in the club race, which was finished, 
for the monthly prizes. They were won by G. E. Edwards and 
J. R. Malone with a score of 215 out of 250. Dr. H. E. Lupus 
was third with 242_out of 250. The average handicap system, which 
was tried for the first time this month, worked out beautifully and 
gave general satisfaction, as it was impossible to name the win- 
ners until the last score of the month was shot up, which Icept up 
interest until the very last. 
The club has had a very successful target season. Among the 
visitors to-day were Ansley H. Fox and Mr. Scott. Mr. J. M. 
Hawkins was also present. 
The Association will probalDly hold a fall tournament during 
October. The scores. The figures after the names indicate the
