Valley City Toafnament* 
Valley City, N. D.— Thirty North Dakota trapshooting en- 
thusiasts met this week at Valley City and participated in a lively 
programme given by the gun club of that place. The weather 
was very rough the first day, and nobody shot over an 80 per cent, 
average. On the second day conditions were more favorable, and 
much creditable \vork was done. Agran, Guptill, Evandci", 
Sprague and Dewey filled the points the first day, and Evander, 
Riehl, Guptill and Hensler the second. A twenty-four man team 
race after the isrogramme stirred up much local interest, and the 
winners enjoyed a spread at the expense of the losers. The pro- 
gramme provided 175 targets each day. The scores:

Pooghfcecpsic G«n Club. 
PouGHKEEPSiE, N. Y., July 4.— The local tournament of the 
Poughkeepsie Gun Club to-day was a success in every way. We 
had fifteen men shooting, eleven of whom shot through the whole 
programme. The strife for high gun lay between Tallman, Travcr 
and Hans; Tallman was successful, however, in making highest 
average for the regular programme by scoring 90 out of the 100. 
Capt. Traver was a close second with 89 to his credit; Hans was 
next high with 85. 
This was only a "little shoot," but we had some shooters with 
us to-day who were mighty glad they came. 
Our next tournament will be on a larger scale, and then when 
some of the well-known trapshooters see what a fine ground we 
have, and how pleasant we can make it for them, they will be 
glad they came, too. 
At the club shoot on Thursday, Smith, scoring 24, won the 
club cup; and Claymark, with a score of 22, won the Marshall 
cup:

Mr. Tilton and Mr. Langley then shot a 20-target match, Lang-

Mr. Langley having made a run of 40 straight, was offered a 
prize to continu'e for 10 more straight; he failed to make good, 
missing his 45th and 40th targets. 
The club will hold an all-day shoot on Labor Day; everybody 
invited. Programme of same will be sent later.

Cincinnati Gun Clob, 
Cincinnati, O., July 4.— The members of the Cincinnati Gun 
Club enjoyed themselves on the Fourth. The programme seemed 
to please every one. The purses payed well under, the Rose 
system, 5, 3, 2. Grau carried off high gun honors, also $33; 
Davis got second high gun. The events paid as high as $8 for 
first and $3.50 for third money. The one-half cent taken out for 
each target paid the high guns .$8 and $6, and the three low guns 
$4.50 each. Gambell, assisted, by Mrs. Gambell, kept things 
moving inside and out, and paid off five minutes after the last 
event; and he also found time to donate a few by shooting 
through. Corry had the misfortune to break his gun early in the 
game. The scores;

A niew feature was brought out by the introduction of a new way 
of dividing the sweeps. A shooter could enter for targets only or 
targets and purse, or targets, purse and sweep. Different shoot- 
ers could put in different amounts, multiples of 25 cents, in the 
sweep, and draw out in proportion to their investment. Each 
25 cents in the sweep was one share; $1 was four shares. Each 
share was counted one point. 
The Rose system was used in the regular way to figure the 
purse, but for the sweep the Rose system points were taken and 
multiplied by the share points, and the product of the t\yo were 
used as points to get the value. Thus: if two shooters tied on 
the score, but one put two shares in the sweep to the other's one, 
he would win twice as much sweep money. It worked to per- 
fect satisfaction. Snaniweh. 
The B. A. A. 
It was but a short time ago that the writer, while in Boston, 
received an invitation to visit the Boston Athletic Association's 
club grounds at Riverside, on the Charles River. To be a guest 
of the B. A. A. is for the time being to be one of them in good 
standing. The cordial gi-eetings extended, the most excellent good 
fellowship existing at all times, are conspicuous among the many 
other qualities only found in men of their stamp, and which, have 
made the B. A. A. known quite around the globe. 
A limibed membership of eighteen hundred, an average of four 
hundred on the waiting list, making it next to impossible to be- 
come a B. A. A. inside of four years, would indicate a condition 
of health inside those delightful portals. 
Nature and good judgment combined have fitted this club out 
as few others can be. 
The accompanying photos show the boat house on the banks of 
the river and the athletic and gun club house on the hill just 
above it. Happily indeed, are they located. There are field and 
aquatic sports almost under one roof, and under one management 
that "knows how." 
The writer is greatly indebted to Mr. J. H. Daggett and his 
fellow members for an afternoon that he is fond of recalling.

Haverbill Gun Club. 
Haverhill, Mass., July 4.-Our gun club celebrated its seventh 
birthday by holding an all-day shoot. While in numbers we had 
the smallest attendance in our existence, we had a good time 
There are several reasons for the small crowd; nothing else in 
town to keep people at home, and several shoots in our immediate 
vicimty. Weather conditions were simply perfect, and some good 
scores were made. After completion of the regular programme 
several extra events were shot, experts, pairs, etc. 
In the prize event Allison was first with 45, Miller second 44-
