Stark and Summit counties resulted in a tie between the Akron 
Gun Club and the Lakeside Gun Club, of Canton. On April 27 
the teams met on the Akron's ground and shot the first of a 
series of three matches to decide the tie. The affair was made 
the occasion of a very enjoyable afternoon shoot, although the 
Tain and high wind kept down the attendance as well as the 
scores. Lothamer, of Canton, and C. J. Schiltz, of: New Berlin, 
were high, with an average of 85 per cent. The Akron team 
won, with a score of 204 to 195, Lucky and Bradley being high

Cincinnati Gun Club. 
Cincinnati, April 30.— About noo^n it clouded up, and by the 
time the shooting was well under way a strong, wind was blowing 
from the left toward the traps. The light was poor. Sevei'al of 
the shooters dropped out, being unable to see the targets quickly 
enough. However, more straights were made than in any of 
the club events for some time. 
Williams showed to-day in more like the form we expect of 
him. His 85 in the main event was good shooting, and at prac- 
tice he did even better, breaking 49 out of 50. 
About a dozen members will visit Dayton on May 10, and then 
will be selected the team which will make a strong effort to bring 
the Phellis cup back to this city.

Ititefstate Association at Ameticws* 
Americ^us, Ga.— The tournament of the Interstate Association, 
held under the auspices of the Americus Gun Club, April 27 and 
28, was attended by what might be called an ideal crowd. There 
were some thirty-five gunners lined up the .first day, who were 
eager for the time for the first gun to be fired. These retained 
their enthusiasm for the two days. The scores made were not as 
high as expected, on account of a rather brisk , wind, which con- 
tinued for the entire time, and was very puzzling, to the amateurs 
especially. All things considered, no one who participated has 
any cause to compain as to his shooting. , One. thing particularly 
noticeable was the excellent way the crowd was handled by Mr. 
Elmer E. Shaner, the secretary-manager of the Interstate Associa- 
ticn; and he made many friends during his visit, here. 
The famous Magnolia Dell, where the tournament was held, is 
one of nature's most inviting spots, and one had but to look 
around to see hundreds of these large magnolia trees in full 
bloom, while their fragrance permeated the atmosphere everywhere. 
The crowd each day partook of a delightful lunch at the noon 
hour, spread under the shade of these trees, and jolly good cheer 
prevailed throughout the entire time. 
The ladies of the city each day honored the gunners with their 
presence, and were enthusiastic when good scores were made. 
Altogether it was one of the most delightful of tournaments, and 
all were sorry when the programme was finished. 
High average among the manufacturers' agents was won by 
Mr. Chas. G. Spencer, with a score of 386 out of 400 shot at. Mr. 
H. B. Money was in second place with 383, and Mr. \\"alter Huff 
third with 377. 
Among, the amateurs, Mr. H. D. Freeman was high with a. 
score of 365 out of 400 shot at. Mr. Frank PTeidt was in second 
place, with 361, and Mr. J. M. Napier third with 358. 
Mr. Spencer also won the silver loving cup, donated by Mr. 
H. S. McCleskey, proprietor of the Windsor Plotel, for the high- 
est average made throughout the tournament. 
Mr. W. E. Yates won the pair of hunting shoes for the longest 
run of straight breaks made by an amateur, Mr.. Yates had a 
run of 48 straights.
