FOREST AND STREAM.^ 
[June 25, 1904. 
The lojflvfdoal Cnampiondhip of New Hampshife. 
DuNBARTON, N. H., June 17.— In the Forest and Stream of 
June 18 is a short notice of the winning of the cup carrj'ing the 
above title, by W. C. Goss, of Herkimer. It is only within a 
few years that any claim (as I have heard) was made to the above 
title. 
A few years since a member of the Winchester, N. H., Club 
made a score of 95 out of 100 bluerocks from a magautrap on 
home grotxnds. The maker of this score claimed, through 
Forest and Stream the individual championship of this State 
until his score was equalled or beaten under similar conditions. 
The Winchester man was modest. In a personal letter, he said: 
"I do not care to shoot for money. Price of targets, fun and 
glory are enough." No one disputed his claim. Then the Peters 
Cartridge Company donated a championship cup. The first contest 
took place at Winchester, and the Winchester man won. 
For some time it looked as though the cup had a permanent 
home. The cup was exhibited in Concord and no doubt other 
places. There may have been members of Concord, Manchester, 
Exeter, Dover and Portsmouth clubs who thought they could 
win the cup, but they made no attempt. 
Then arose the present champion,- Goss, who lives on Park 
Hill, in Henniker. I know Mr. Goss, and he is a good fellow, a 
New Hampshire farmer, and a born shooter. Nearly all of his 
trap experience has been on home grounds. Yet he can shoot, as 
any of you will find should you go for that cup. Brace up, you 
crackerjacks of the various New Hampshire clubs. 
For my part, I am out of all target shooting. Haven't seen a 
target for nearly two years, and have no desire to, except as a 
spectator. 
I would rather see Goss defend the cup against one or more 
challengers than to see all the paid experts break targets with 
their usual machine-like regularity. 
Park Hill holds the champion and the cup. Who wants to try 
for it. C. M. Stark. 
Notwtch Gun Clob. 
Norwich, Conn.— The trapshooting tournament given by the 
Norwich, Conn., Shooting Club on Saturday, Jane 11, was a suc- 
cess in every way. The traps worked to a charm, and the events 
were shot oil rapidly. For the high gun prizes Ockford was first, 
Tafft second and Noble third. Olcott and Edgarton shot well, 
each making 79 per cent. 
The team shoot resulted as follows: 
Team No. 1-Ockford 15, Olcott 14, Prest 14, Noble 15; total 58. 
Team No. 2— Edgarton 18, Barstow. 15, Bugbee 16, Tafft 16, 
total 65. • .

Aquldnccfc Gon Club, 
Newport, R. L, June 18.— The first of the Aquidneck Gun Club's 
summer tournaments was something in the nature of a frost as far 
as the attendance was concerned, but eleven shooters participating, 
and of these but two were from out of town. Various causes 
brought this about, many of the club members being "chained to 
business," shooters in other towns attending their home event, 
for many Massachusetts clubs observed Friday, Bunker Hill Day, 
with shoots. These probably were the principal causes of the 
small crowd. However, those present made the most of the oc- 
casion, and under the good weather conditions, some fine scores 
were made. Bowler being high with a shade under the 90 per cent, 
mark. The date of the next tournament will be July 30, and not 
the 25th, as previously announced. A feature of this occasion 
will be the serving, free to shooters, of a genuine Rhode Island 
clam bake . It is sincerely hoped that the shooters will respond 
to this tournament, programmes for which will be ready about 
July 1: ,

Record Trout. 
On June 1, at Square Lake, Aroostook county, Maine, on the 
line of the Bangor & Aroostook R. R., two square-tail trout were 
caught, weighing 7 and 9%lbs. respectively. The larger fish was 
caught by a woman. The fishing at Square Lake this season has 
been exceptionally good, and the Lake has become a popular re- 
sort for sportsmen. The catch above mentioned certainly will 
not detract from its popularity.
