Bass Lake Toumament. 
Bass Lake, Ind.— Head & Dunbar's fifth annual tournament, 
announced for Aug. 4 and 5, was pulled off as smoothly as ever. 
While the attendance was not quite what the attiractions at Bass 
Lake, in the way of grounds, equipments and facilities for en- 
joyment, would warrant any one to expect, yet it was sufficient 
to make a most interesting tournament; and during the two days 
there was hardly a protest or kick of any kind. 
The grounds here are of the most perfect. Shooting in the 
forenoon directly to the west, with the five shooting positions 
completely in the shade of the overhanging boughs of some 
magnificent elm and birch trees, while the white sandy shore of 
the lake make it perfectly dry underfoot within a half hour after 
the hardest rain. In the afternoon the conditions are equally as 
pleasant, as the tournament is moved about 75yds. further east to 
the other end of the small peninsula, and the afternoon's pro- 
gramme is again shot out in the shade, only shooting directly to 
the east and away from the sun. The background is perhaps the 
most perfect that could be found, shooting directly over the 
lake. 
Those in attendance were Messrs. Barto, Hannigan, S. T. Kin- 
ney, Vietmeyer and Oswald Von Lengerke, of Chicago; Capt. 
John VV. Cooper, Indianapolis; A. S. Flynn, Wabash, Ind.; Dr. 
Wilson, Rochester, Ind.; Messrs. Chadwick and Cook, Lake 
Maxinkucke; Messrs. Reading and J. C. Anderson, Valparaiso; 
Townsend and Mark Anderson, Knox, Ind.; Thomas Lang, Find- 
lay, O.; Ralph Trimble, Covington, Ky. ; Messrs. Heikes and 
Gerlaugh, Dayton, O.; Messrs. Cragg and Frank Burnham, 
Lowell, Ind.; Tony Dilly, Hebron, Ind.; F. V. Nichols, Medary- 
ville, Ind.; C. E. Herschman, Rensselaer, Ind.; Chas. F. Dreihs, 
Cincinnati; Mr. Weed, Knox, Ind.; and Messrs. Frank Dunbar, 
J. L. Head, L. D. Ream and John Hale Stutesman, Peru, Ind.

The averages for those shooting the entire programme of 380 
targets, were: Lang 353, Trimble 349, Barto 346, Head 344, Nichols 
341, Heikes 338, Burnham 337, Flynn 336, Dreihs 330, Kinney 329, 
Dilly 319, Dunbar 285. 
On the afternoon of the first day there were two extra events, 
one at 15 singles and the other at 5 pairs. Jim Head made a clean 
score in both events, but had to divide first in the 15 singles with 
Austin Flynn. 
Speaking of Austin Flynn reminds the writer that "Ot," as he 
is familiarly called, had the long run of the tournament, 90 
straight. He missed his fifth bird in event No. 8 the first day, 
then made the last four regular events and the 15 extra all 
straight, and ran to his fifth in the doubles, making just a run 
ef 90. 
Rol Heikes had hard luck the first day with his various guns, 
as they seemed determined to put the Daddy of them All out of 
business. He shot about four different guns this day, and his 
scores suffered in consequence. 
Time and space prevent a lengthy account of this most interest- 
ing tournament, and mention of the good work done by the 
various participants; but the scores show for themselves. Come 
again, gentlemen, we are always glad to see you.

Dover Sportsmea's Association* 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
The Dover, N, H., Sportsmen's Association was organized for 
the propagation and protection of game birds and fish, and an 
observance of the laws as to the feathered and finny tribe gener- 
ally. 
The general lines were and are the diffusion of knowledge in 
connection with the subject, moral suasion and prosecution when 
we cou'.d obtain sufficient evidence to warrant conviction for 
violation of the laws. 
We have in the past adhered to this position, and we still pro- 
pose to do so in the future. 
At our grounds, on Gage's Hill, about 10 minutes' ride by the 
electric cars, we have a magautrap and also an expert trap house, 
where we shoot at targets. This is for sociability among the 
members and such friends as visit us. We have what we call a 
grand field day once a year, always on Labor Day, which this 
year is Sept. 7. Here we meet nearly all of the members of the 
Association and their families and friends, and have a good time 
generally. Our other days, Wednesdays and Saturdays, excepting 
in the dead of winter, there are assembled a few of the more 
enthusiastic, who have a quiet afternoon's practice at the targets. 
Keeping in view the object of our Association, our members at 
a meeting held on July 25, after a personal expression of opinion 
of each one present, unanimously voted not to offer any prizes for 
competition on our field day, but rather provide a good and 
substantial lunch, and plenty of it, during the entire day, free 
to members and their families and to those who come to shoot 
from out of town. To all these we e.xtend a cordial and hearty 
welcome. W^e will receive and take care of guns and shells sent 
to us, and take them to the grounds free of charge. 
Sweepstakes, or any game of chance, on the outside, is entirely 
the affair of those who take part in it, of which the club will 
have no official knowledge.

Trap AfGwnd Reading 
Charles C. Beveridge. 
At Excfelsiot Springs, Mo., on Aug. 8, Charles C. Beveridge 
passed away ihto the realm of eternal silence and eternal rest. Many 
a heart will ffeel a twinge of grief over his demise, for he was a true 
exemplar of tt manly man. Grand of physique— he weighed about 
250 pounds— and pbWerful as a giant, yet in his ways he was as 
gentle as a woman, a true index of the benignant character which 
was his by nature. He who gazed into the mild, kind eyes of 
"The Dominic" for the first time, with their light beaming good 
will toward all men, saw them as they beamed at all times, for 
his disposition was naturally and uniformily sympathetic, guileless 
and true. "The Dominic" was the soubriquet by which he was 
endearingly referred to by his shooting friends, and it had a 
certain significance, inasmuch as he had much of the chaste ex- 
pression of countenance and kindliness of manner peculiar to 
cleigymen. 
He filled an important and beneficent place in the affairs of 
men. During the past thirteen years he and his wife traveled to- 
C. C. BEVKRIDGE AND WIFE. 
gelher through the New England and Middle States, and 
Nebraska and Colorado, as temperance evangelists and singers. 
During 1892 he held as many as 350 meetings m Nebraska alone. 
He officiated as chairman of the Prohibition Party in Nebraska 
during the past two years, his wife officiating with him as sec- 
retary and treasurer. Their talents were of such excellence in the 
cause of prohibition that their services were in constant demand. 
Mr. Beveridge's illness, rheumatism, was contracted while in 
Texas last February, in a period of damp weather. Treatment in 
a Lincoln sanitarium failed of benefit, and he went to Excelsior 
Springs for treatment. From his limbs, the disease spread to the 
internal organs, causing death from heart failure presumably. The 
burial was arranged to take place at Fremont, Neb., his domicile 
during many years past. He was born in Geneseo, 111., forty-four 
years ago. He was best known to our readers in connection with 
affairs of dog and gun, he being an active and entliusiastic trap 
and field shooter in such hours as he could spare from his voca- 
tion. He ranked as an expert in the use of the shotgun, and in 
the many tournaments in which he took part in the United States 
he was grouped with the leaders as a successful contestant. The 
same amiability, tolerance and honesty displayed by him in every- 
day matters, were conspicuous features of his deportment in all 
phases of the competition. 
In these columns we publish a portrait of Mr. Beveridge and 
his wife, his devoted co-worker in the temperance field," in which 
he labored so energetically and so long.

Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. IB.— Editor Forest and Stream: The 
club house and other improvements on the grounds of the In-

Poughkeepsie Gun Club. 
PouGHKEEPSiE, N. Y., Aug. 6.— Rain? Yes, it certainly rained 
to-day. Notwithstanding, four men, enthusiasts who cannot re- 
sist the fascination of trapshooting, no matter what the weather 
may be, took part in to-day's events. 
Event 3 was for the Marshall cup, and was won by Mr. 
Winans. No. 4 was for the club cup, and was won by Mr. Du 
Bois. Event 1 was shot from the 20yd. mark, as from that dis-

B, Leroy "Woodard. 
On Aug. 9, at his home in Campello, Mass., B. Leroy Woodard, 
the famous trapshooter, died after a prolonged illness. His death 
was caused by cancer of the stomach, from which he suffered 
during many months past. Though professionally engaged in 
trapshooting, he followed it more from genuine fondness of it as 
a sport than as a vocation. Pie was one of the most expert of 
trapshots, ranking with the leaders in point of skill. He was a 
m.ember of the American team which engaged in the memorable 
contests in England in 1901, which achieved victory with . such 
signal success. He was of an engaging, amiable personality, the 
index of a sunny, sweet disposition, and was highly esteemed 
by all his associates in the profession, as well as in social life. 
He passed away in the prime of life, being in his thirty-sixth year.
