Interstate Association To«fnament at Bristol. 
Bristol, Tenn., April 9. — The tournament of the Interstate As- 
sociation, held on the grounds of the Bristol Gun Club, April 6 
and 7, was remarkable and unique in several features. First, the 
Bristol crack team led off by breaking 74 out of the first 75 
targets shot at. Second, W. R. Crosby broke 99 out of the first 
100 shot at. Third, Mr. A. M. Hatcher broke 99 out of the second 
100 shot at. Lastly, twenty-six contestants shooting through the 
entire first day's programme, made a grand average just a frac- 
tion under 90 per cent. This is probably a record-breaking score, 
as many of the professionals on the groimds frankly admit that 
they __never saw such shooting before. 
The weather conditions the first day were anything but favor- 
able, a drizzling rain falling nearly the whole time the events 
were being shot. This, no doubt, helped to keep down the at- 
tendance somewhat. 
Mr. W. R. Crosby was high gun the first day with a score of 
195 out of 200. Messrs. H. B. Money, A. M. Hatcher and R. L. 
Peirce were in second place with 193 out of 200. Mr. R. L. 
Trimble was third high gun with 188 out of 200. 
The second day was much more favorable for shooting pur- 
poses, and several new faces were seen at the firing points. W. 
R. Crosby kept up his good work of the first day, and was again 
high gun, with the remarkable score of 19S out of the 200 shot at, 
and right here I wish to say that the targets were not easy at 
that. R. L. Peirce was second high gun with 193, and A. M. 
Hatcher was in third place with 191. 
The arrangements at the grounds were found convenient, and 
the contestants expressed themselves as well pleased with the at- 
tention and consideration shown them by the local club members. 
A Leggett trap and one set of expert traps, Sergeant system, 
were used, and both gave the best of satisfaction. This was the 
first experience of most of those who took part in the tournament 
with the Leggett trap, and many were outspoken in their praise 
of its working. 
There were few spectators present the first day, due no doubt 
to the inclement weather; but the second day they were out in 
force, among them being many ladies. 
Several extra events were shot each day after the close of the 
regular programme. The scores of the regular and extra events 
follow:

Aquidaecfc Gun Club. 
Newport, R. I. — After ten days' energetic work, the club is 
now located on its new grounds, with traps installed, platform 
down and all ready to entertain members as well as visiting 
shooters. 
Opportunity was had on Wednesday to receive two of the latter, 
as Messrs. Neaf Apgar and T. H. Keller, Jr., attended the open- 
ing shoot on that day. Good weather was the fortune of the 
club, and some excellent work was done, particularly by Apgar, 
he scoring 94 in 100. 
The occasion was also the twentieth shoot for the L. C. Smith 
bi'dge, which was won for the shoot by Alexander, with the 
very good total of 43, his high mark in the medal matches thus 
far. The scores follow :

In Alabama. 
Demopolis, Ala., April 5.— The DemopoHs Gun Club held a 
complimentary shoot to-day in honor of Mr. Max C. Hensler and 
Mr. J. G. Heath, of the U. M. C. Co., who were in the city. 
Col. N. G. Winn, our leading sportsman, made an excellent show- 
ing, breaking 93 out of 100 targets. 
The Demopolis Gun Club is composed of the leading sportsmen 
of this section, who will devote considerable time to trapshooting 
this summer. 
The attendance looked on with much interest at the race between 
Messrs. Hensler and Winn, l!ie forpier leading by one bird only. 
Mr. J. A. McKMiu':n. 01' Selma. was also on hand to shoot \in\) 
lis. The scors loll^w;;: Hensler, out of 100. l)roke 94; W'uin, 93; 
Montreal Gun Club. 
The Easter Monday tournament held on the Montreal Gun 
Club grounds, Montreal, Quebec, on the 4th inst. was a decided 
success, though the scores were very low, which was due to the 
westerly gale that blew down across the traps. The wind was. 
gusty. It knocked the targets in all directions and puzzled the 
best shots to make connections. 
The great event was the five-man team between the St Huberts 
of Ottawa, Ont., and the Montreal Gun Club team, one man up' 
at 15 targets per man. The targets were thrown from five expert 
traps, unknown traps, which make the hardest kind of shooting 
The trophy was the Montreal challenge cup, which was held by 
the champions, the Montreal team.

Five expert tramps were used in all of the events, 
unknown traps; event 4, reversed angles; and all the other events 
were known angles. 
After the regular events were shot off, there were several other 
scratch events and miss-and-outs which gave lots of fun for the 
boys. 
Mr. Craig was the umpire in the trophy match, and Mr. N. P. 
Leach the umpire in the other races. 
This defeat has put the. Montreal shooters on their mettle, and 
they are soon going up to Ottawa to recapture that trophy. They 
are also after the Robin Hood international team trophy, now 
held down in Swanton, Vt., and they are after several individual
