The following, from the Jersey City Journal, is of special in- 
terest: "Ex-Judge George B. Eaton, of Pavonia avenue, and

paw," respectively, to shoot a 20-live-bird match for points at 
either Hen Cutwater's or at the Guttenberg race track, in the

supper for a party of twelve." We learn that each of the con- 
testants is impatiently awaiting the day of the competition, sniff-

Colt Gon Clofa, 
HarTforo, Conn. — One of the most successful shoots of the 
season of the Colt Gun Club was held Saturday, July 25. The 
weather was perfect for trapshooting, and some good scores were 
made. 
The Bristol Gun Club members were visitors, and, as usual, 
the extremely friendly team race of these two clubs was the most 
interesting part of the programme. It resulted in Bristol carrying 
oil the laurels to the tune of 100 to 94, at 125 targets a side. Scores 
of the team shoot, 25 targets per man, follow: 
Bristol. Colts.

Trap at Litchfield. 
Litchfield, 111., July 22.— The third successful tournament of 
the Litchfield Gun Club for this season was held to-day. Early 
in the spring of 1903 the manager, Hugh Snell, conceived the idea 
of giving popular shoots that would draw and hold the country 
boys. How well he succeeded has now been chronicled for the 
third time. He has proven that tournament managers have gone 
wrong by giving 15, 20 and 25-target events as their programme. 
He has fully demonstrated that the old-time 10 event was the 
popular one. In the first place, it attracts the shooters to come 
to the tournament, and then when present, they stay and shoot 
all day. 
Not alone this, but the money divisions have been popular — 
four equal parts. Thus, the best shots have been winners and the 
poorer ones have not been so much loser. 
Money prizes have been awarded to high averages, and longest 
run, and this has been an incentive for the high man. 
The traveling men present were J. M. Hughes, and he "showed 
us" by lining out 98 out of 100. He had as side partner Mr. - 
Leslie Standish, the Illinois missionary, and they made a good 
tesra. 
John Boa ran up from Alton and found that his gun was not in 
good condition, and he could talk better than he cotild shoot. 
But he will make good some other time. The scores:
