Mahanoy City Gun Cluh* 
The two days' tournament at Mahanoy City, Pa., was well sup- 
ported by the shooters, thirty-seven of whom participated in the 
events of the first day. 
The manufacturers' representatives were Messrs. Frank Law- 
ence, Luther J. Squier, E. D. Fulford and Frank Butler. The 
audience was large and enthusiastic, The meeting was very sat- 
isfactory. A number of tlie contestants were new in tournament 
sliooting, as they never had therein shot before. Tlie squad 
hustling was done by Messrs. Lawrence and Butler. 
Mr. Geo. S. TralTord came over from Lebanon and started in 
to clear up the professionals, and he was in a fair way to do it 
when his shells gave out. The shells which he had ordered for 
this shoot failed to arrive; hence he had to change his load; 
nevertheless, he finished high amateur on the first aay. 
The Shamokin boys made a fine showing, lining up sixteen 
strong. 
Mvich credit is due to Mr. Fen Cooper, who managed the shoot. 
It was a success. 
Mr. Luther J. Squier has not yet got into his best form, but 
he nevertheless won second high genera! average. 
yir. Frank Butler got so busy that he could not slay for the 
second day, and Mr. Fulford was left without a manager, but he 
won high general average. 
Frank Lawrence was the business man at the shoot, demonstx'at- 
ing the excellence of his firm's goods, and if the shooters are 
not all buying the guns and shells which he recommends, it is 
no fault of his. 
Mr. Frank Broadbeck, the great trap and handle live-bird shot, 
gave an exhibition of how to break targets with the gun held 
below the elbovv vmtil the target shows. He is all right, hut O 
my! how careless with a loaded gun.

Schortcmeicr's Shoot. 
Carlstadt, N. J., July 22. — The live-bird shoot given by Mr. L. 
H. Schortemeier on J. H. Outwater's grounds, Carlstadt, v/as 
well attended. The forenoon was clear and pleasant. A stif¥ wind 
blew across the traps from right to left, assisting the birds ma- 
terially. In the afternoon, the sky darkened, the wind subsided, 
and about 3 o'clock a heavy rainstorm set in. The birds were 
a mixed lot, some good ones, many ordinary. They seemed re- 
luctant to take wing, and as a consequence, there were a large 
percentage of sitters. Tn the 15-bird event, Mr. Emile Stelfens 
was the only one to kill straight, and first money amounted to 
$12. The moneys were divided according to the Rose system. 
Five killed 14, five killed 13, three killed, 12 and one killed 11, 
making fourteen out of 21, which were in the money. The 
scores :

International Tottrnament. 
\\'iNNiPEG, Man., July 22. — Appended are the scores in detail 
of the annual International tournament held here this week 
under the auspices of the Winnipeg and Fort Garry gun clubs. 
This was an amateur event, and its purpose is less the partici- 
pation for large purses than the deciding of the annual contests for 
the Canadian and International championship honors. In this 
case, the Americans were less successful than usual. They held 
the flags involved in the International team race by a margin 
of 7 points; but the international individual championship went 
to Mr. Frank Simpson, of Winnipeg, who made the very creditable 
score of 48 in a possible 50. He also won for the third consecutive 
time the West Canadian championship, and shot a good gait 
throughout the meet. 
The B Class Canadian championship was won by H. B. Totten, 
also a local man. 
The open programme included all the 15-bird events and one 
merchandise sweep at 20 birds. In this C. H. Parker, of North 
Dakota, was high, while Hirschy and Riehl, the only two pro- 
fessionals participating, had an exciting race for top honors. 
Hirschy won the first day, losing but 4 in 75. The second day, 
however. Rich], starting at 16yds., shot himself back rapidly to 
the 20yd. mark, on the progressive handicap system, and stayed 
there all day, winning the day's honors with a run of 77 straight 
breaks. Scores are here given,
