Harrisburg, Pa. — The two-day tournament of the East Plarris- 
burg Shooting" Association opened on Friday, Sept. 19, The at- 
tendance was sinaller than was expected, caused no doubt by the 
many shoots held in. this vicinity recently. 
Friday was devoted to target shooting entirely. Some good 
scores were made, especially those by Neaf Apgar, who broke 19(5 
but of 205 on this day, or a total of 240 out of 250 for both days. 
The shooting of A. C. Kreuger, of Lancaster, Fa., was also good. 
Mr. Kreuger is an amateur, yet scored 188 out of 205. ^ • 
The trade was represented by Jack Fanning, Frank Butler, Tveaf 
Apgar, A. H. Fox and Jack FIull. 
Saturday was live-bird day. A few target events were shot in 
the morning. The weather was rainy, bttt cleared away before 
lunch. The birds were a good lot, and left the traps as soon aS 
sprung. First event was a live-bird match, 30yds. rise. This was 
followed by a 15, 10, and miss-and-out. The last named one was a 
very interesting one. Kreuger, of Lanca.stcr, missed his l5lh bird, 
a fast right-ciuartcrijig driver, vvhicb fell dead out of bounds. Wni. 
Stephens missed his 15th, and Geo. S. Bolton,' killing his, decided 
the race.

Osslning Gun Clttfa. 
OssiNiNG, N. Y.. Sept. 27.— During the temporary cessation of 
the rain some of the bovs got in a little practice. Blandford got 
high percentage with 64 out of 70, 91 per cent., while Clark was a 
close second with 88 per cent. Hans was trying a new gun, which 
didn't fit him, so his scores suffered accordingly. , , ,. 
Next Saturday there will be a prize offered for a 25-bird handi- 
cap, entrance price of birds. A good turnout of shooters is looked 
for on that day, , ^, ,^ , r i • i i u' 
A match was shot by Clark and Blandford at 5 birds, holding 
gun at hip. Each succeeded in breaking 1 target. Event No. 3 
was for the 20yd. mark. Washburn came up without his .gun, 
but couldn^t stand the temptation to shoot a few strings, the re- 
sult of which was not up to his regular performance with his 
"corn sheller."

Buflingt on T o Kmament* 
Burlington, Ta. — The shooting fever comes and goes. How 
strange it is that one or two men generally keep up the shooting 
interest in every town.- Clubs rise and flourish and decay, owing 
to the leadership of one man. Burlington is no exception. 
The present club owes its existence to Frank Smith.' He shoots 
and not content to shoot alone, he associated with him a lot of 
his friends, who know what a scatter gun is. and they in turn 
got up a tournarricnt, and while they advertised same well at 
home, and sent out bills to the adjoining towns, they did not let 
the .shooters from any distance know of it. Yet on "Sept. 24 and 
25 they had some thirty shooters all smashing targets and having 
a good social time. Some of the boys were out of practice, and 
they could not put 'em all in the "game bag," yet they were 
much pleased with the way they were entertained, and- will come 
again. 
Burlington has not had a live club for several years, but from 
now on keep an eye on the border town, situated not far from 
Eejthsburgh.

Concofdia Tournament. 
Concordia Kans., Seot. 26.— The Concordia Gun Club gave its 
third annual' tournament here this week, commencing Sept. 2.3. 
The weather was abominable throughout, rain falling nearly all 
the time. This made the attendance very small, and scores low. 
Targets were trapped from a strong magautrap, an dmoneys were 
divided in four and five points. The club added $40 to the 
purses, and provided every accommodation for guests. W. ti. 
Heer won first honors on a creditable score. The third day 250 
live birds were shot in practice sweeps. Of those who shot m 
all events, Heer, Riehl and O'Brien won the honors. The towiis- 
people showed much interest in the shoot, and there was a daily 
attendance of more than a hundred visitors. Concordia will have 
the next State shoot, and arrangements for that occasion will 
be elaborate.

J. R. Merrill, Sec'y. 
Mr. Floyd Accepts. 
New York, Sept. 2^.— Editor Forest and Stream: 1 see in Forest 
AND Stream of Sept. 20, that Mr. I. A. Hudson, of Dagsboro, 
Del., challenges me to shoot him a race at live birds, offering to 
wager his farm against mine that he can beat me. 
Now, Mr. Editor, I am not looking for matches, and if I was, 
I surely would hunt up some one that could give- some kind of a 
close run for my money: but Mr. Hudson can't kill 80 per cent. 
To show him that I have no yellow in me, I will shoot him a 
100-bird race, my farm against his, under American Association 
rules, each to stand at 30yds.. and 50yds. boundary; to be shot 
on .Nov. 15, 1902, at Dagsboro, Del. Find inclosed check, and 
ask him to produce to insure the match, as I have done, or go 
in his hole. C. W. Floyd. 
[Check for $50 received. In a personal letter Mr. Floyd re- 
quests us to notify Mr. Hudson that this deposit is in our hands, 
and, as evidence of good faith, that he deposit an equal amount. 
Mr. Floyd further informs us that by "birds" he means targets or 
live pigeons, or both.]

At the Cincinnati Gun Club's tournament, held during the week 
commencing Sept. 21, W. R. Crosby won first general iverage for 
the entire target programme. In a letter to the American E. C. 
& Schultze Gunpowder Co., Ltd., dated Sept. 25, Mr. Crosby says: 
"1 had the good luck to land high average at this shoot, but I had 
to stand away back at 22yds. all the time, winning out after a hard 
struggle. I used 3drs. of 'New E. C just for an experiment, and 
I can fully indorse it, as I believe 'it is mighty near as good as ■■ 
the old, stuff.'" _^ 
After a long- day in cold and wet. or- a long tramp after big 
game or small, there is nothing that heartens one up so much 
as a little stimulant. The fashionable beverage of this particular i 
age is Scotch whisky, and it may fairly be said that among the , 
most fashionable and best brands of this liquor are the Bonnie 
Brier Bush and the Souvenir, from the Glenlivet District, adver- 
tised by H. B. Kirk & Co., 156 Franklin street. New York. These 
whiskies are guaranteed to be absolutely pure, and. not blended.

Sept 16-17, D. S. Daudt won average in amateur class. Atlanta,

There are few things more essential to one's comfort than what, 
is worn on the feet. Footwear that does not fit is a continual 
source of discomfort. Messrs. Metz & Scholerbe, of Oshkosh,' 
Wis., claim comfort for the "slipper moccasins" vv-hich they make, 
and declare their Wisconsin cruising shoes to be the best hunt- 
ing shoes in the country. 
For many years Messrs. Acker, Merrall & Condit have stood in. 
the front rank among New York grocers, and Muir's Sparkling: 
Scotch Ale, which they advertise, has had a reputation of its own 
for many years. People who use ale as a beverage will m.ake no 
mistake if they patronize this combination. '
