Sptingfield Shooting: Club. 
The annual fall tournament of the Springfield, Mass., Shooting 
Club was held on Labor Day, Sept. 7, on the club grounds, near 
Red House Crossing. Some thirty gun enthusiasts were with 
us, and a large crowd of spectators, including several ladies, who 
were much interested in the shooting, especially that of their 
husbands, as several of the shooters brought their wives with 
them to see the sport. Many out-of-town clubs were represented, 
some coming from as far away as New Yory cit}% New Haven, 
Boston and Leominster, Mass. The manufacturers' agents, who 
are usually with us at our tournaments, were not on hand this 
time, having engagements in other places, with the exception of 
Mr. Richards, who did some good shooting. The day was perfect 
for shooting, with scarcely any wind, which is very unusual for 
these grounds. 
The shooters, being new to shooting over Sergeant system of 
trapping, did not make any very large scorce, and many "goose- 
eggs" appeared on the blackboard. Among those who did the 
best shooting were Barstow, of Rockville, Conn.; Schortemeier, 
of New York city; Stacy, of Belchertown, Mass.; Bradley, of 
Bridgeport, Conn.; Mack, and Highwood, of New Haven, and 
Lovering, of Boston. One string of 20 straight by Barstow was 
the highest score made in any one event. 
All events were shot from the 16yd. mark, at known traps and 
unknown angles. It was the intention to have all events shot 
from unknown traps and unknown angles, but this proved too 
much for the trappers, and known traps were used, being pulled 
in rotation. There was one shooter absent who usually attends 
our tournaments and whose bright smile and cheery word were 
much missed, Mr. B. Leroy Woodard, who passed away on 
Aug. 9 at his home in Campello, Mass. Mr. Woodard was a 
great favorite among the members of this club, and he was missed 
by many. 
The special merchandise prizes olTered for the four high guns 
shooting the entire programme were won by the following: 
1. Gold badge, v/on by H. E. Barstow, of Rockville, Conn. 
2. Lancewood Irout rod, won by L. H. Schortemeier, of New 
York city. 
3. Webster collegiate dictionary, won by Abe Stacy, of Belcher- 
town. 
4. Multiplying reel, won by Lewis H. Bradley, of Bridgeport, 
Conn. 
The best shooting was done by the following shooters, showing 
number targets shot at and broke, also per cent, for day's 
shooting:

Cleveland Toufnamenh 
Cleveland, O., Sept. 7.^The Labor Day tournament of the 
Cleveland, O., Gun Club Company was well attended. The pro- 
gramme commenced at 9 o'clock sharp, and then began one of 
the most successfvil shoots ever held in that section. 
The strong wind made the flight of the targets very erratic, 
and while the scores appear to be low, they were good when the 
conditions are taken into consideration. The scores are as follows:

Northern Ohio ten-man team championship trophy. — This con- 
test was not shot off until late in the afternoon. The wind was 
blowing a gale, which accounts for the low scores. Mr. G. E. 
AN'agoner, of the Akron team, was high man on 44 out of 50 tar- 
gets, and his shooting was the feature of the team race. The 
Cleveland Gun Club won by a margin of 10 targets, but the con- 
test was close and exciting throughout.

Parker Gun Club. 
Meriden, Conn. — Appended herewith are scores made at our 
ninth annual Labor Day tournament. The day was fine, and the 
shoot as large as could be expected. It was a success in every 
way. 
The event of the day was the famous Bristol sheepbake, which 
was served to about 100 persons, among whom were numbered 
many of the weaker sex, who enjoyed the savory dishes, as well 
as did the shooters themselves. 
At the close of the regular events an extra at 25 birds, $2 
entrance, was shot off, as follows: Griffith 2,5, Capt. Money 25, 
Coffin 22, Thorpe 16, Post 22, Dickey 24.

Ossining Gun Club. 
OssiNiNG, N. Y., Sept. 7.— The Labor Day shoot of the Ossining 
Gun CKtb, while not up to the expectations of the club members, 
was nevertheless a success. Altogether, twenty-three shooters par- 
ticipated, breaking a little short of 3,000 targets. The magau- 
trap was on its best behavior, and everything ran smoothly. 
Five trade representatives were present: Harry Stevens, Sim 
Glover, G. R. Schneider and Mr. Ginn, who, while not a shooter, 
made himself extremely useful in hustling squads and "keepmg 
the pot a-b'iling." 
The boys all seemed to have a good time, and we are hoping 
to see them up this way again. 
In the programme events, .Stevens got first high average, 87 
per cent. ; Blandford second, with S5 per cent. Birds were thrown 
55yds. _
