tJULY 16, 1904. 
Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, Mass., July 6.— Just a dozen shooters toed the mark 
at the regular Wednesday shoot to-day, and with conditions at 
their best, it proved to be a most enjoyable outing. _ 
Baker's return was indeed a welcome addition, and we wish 
there were more times that he could be with us; but just at 
present his duties as Royal High Jester of the Stoughton Gun 
Club prevent the time being taken, and what is one club's gain 
is another's loss. 
Allison's pet gun was in trim to-day for fine work, and high 
average honors fell to his share as well as individual match 
score, one target out of the 25 in this race being the sum total of 
misses. Dickey's 16yd/ work of 25 straight gave him high per- 
centage, but not shooting 100 targets had to relinquish the honors 
of high average. 
Bartlett, one of . the old Fort Roseway shooters of twenty years 
ago enjoyed the sport the same as in former days, and while not 
up to the usual good average of his, a few more experiences with 
our Leggett trap will be able to place his average in with the best.

Interstate Association at Winona. 
Winona, Minn., July 6.— The three days' tournament of the 
Interstate Association, July. 4, 5, and 6, under the auspices of the 
W inona Sportsmen's Ciub, came to a close shortly after 1 o'clock 
to-day, and the visiting sportsmen left for their homes by this 
evening's trains. The tournament was well attended the first and 
second days, but there was a decided drop in the attendance this 
the closing day. It only goes to show that three days' straight 
shooting is just a little bit too much for the ordinary amateur 
who attends tournaments. However, there is no doubt but what 
this tournament has given fresh impetus to the sport of trapshoot- 
ing in southern Minnesota. 
Winona shooters are especially well pleased over the success of 
the Winona team in capturing the La Crosse Chronicle cup the 
second day of the tournament. When this cup is won three 
times in succession by the same club that club becomes its per- 
manent owner. The conditions governing the cup contest are 
teams of five men each, 165 targets per man. There were four 
teams entered, namely, Winona, Viroqua, La Crosse and Sparta, 
and Winona won with something like 28 targets to the good. 
For general averages Mr. C. O. Le Compte, of Eminence, Ky., 
was in first place with a score of 473 out of 495 shot at; Mr. L. E. 
Parker was second with 470, and J. L. D. Morrison third with 
The cashier's office was presided over by Mr. H. C. Hirschy, of 
Minneapolis, Minn., and at the close of the tournament Mr. 
Hirschy was publicly thanked by Dr. Leicht, secretary of the 
club, for the able assistance he gave the club. Messrs. Siefken 
and Moore also came in for praise for assistance rendered. 
Two sets of traps, one Leggett trap and one set of Sergeant 
system, were used, and there was not a hitch from beginning 
to end of the tournament. The scores follow: ■

East End Gun Qua. 
Richmond, Va., July 4.— The annual Fourth of July all-day shoot 
of this club came off in favorable and bright weather. The sun 
was appropriate to the season, and left its mark on many a neck, 
nose and pair of arms, but its violence was tempered by a cool 
breeze, which, however, did not tend to make the scores any 
larger, as the targets performed some most unexpected feats in the 
way of gvration .at critical moments. 
The trade was not heavily represented, only Messrs. Hawkins, 
Banks and Baskerville being on hand. The shoot was ably man- 
aged, as before, by Mr. J. A Anderson; Mr. Stockmar acted as 
squad hustler, and' Mr. R. L. Banks had charge of the cashier's 
office and score compiler's department. 
In all, fifty-four shooters participated in the day's sport, the 
major part of them shooting through the entire programme of 
250 targets, which was finished by 5:30 P. M., after which several 
enthusiasts proceeded to use up their superfluous ammunition in 
sundry extras. 
The fifth event, at 25 targets, prize a Marhn repeating shotgun, 
was won by Mr. T. Fox. The high average for amateurs, open 
to members of the club only, was won by Mr. Anderson, who 
also won first money in the second event with a straight score of 
10, and divided second money in the fourth. The first money in 
the fourth event went to Mr. M. D. Deart, with a straight 15. 
The surprise of the day— to himself as well as others— was the 
victory of Mr. S. Janowski in the seventh event. This was a 50- 
target race for the championship of Richmond, the trophy being a 
very handsome cup. Mr. Janowski scored 46. 
Mr. E. V. Sanford, of Blackstone, Va., made the high average 
for the day, beating out the experts with a percentage of 89.6. 
The first, second and sixth events, at 50 targets, were mer- 
chandise, with twenty prizes in each, so that very few of those 
who shot through went away empty-handed. Scores as follows:

Erie Rod and Gun Club. 
Erie, Pa., June 25.— The club held a shoot to-day which was 
something out of the ordinary. Mr. J. R. Hull was present and 
broke 47 straight. Ed Thatingly, of the "Buckskin Bill" Wild 
West shot, that has been stranded here in the sheriff's hands for 
some time now, did some fancy shooting. The club's new 
grounds east of town are in good order now. Among the high 
scores to-day were those of the two Cospers, father and son, Burr, 
Dean, Strangway, Beers and Seaman. 
July 4.— The club's shoot this afternoon was partly spoiled by 
the high wind that blew all day. A number of the best shots from 
Oil City. Pa., were present and took part in the different events. 
Roy Cosper, of Erie, was the high gun by breaking 47 out of 
57 targets. The weather was blamed by some of the shooters for 
their misses, and in this case the weather was really to blame; 
sometimes it is not, though. Cabia Bianco. 
Oneida County Spoilsmen's Association* 
Utica, N. Y.j July 4.— The scores of the Oneida County Sports* 
men's Association Gun Club shoot, held on the grounds to-day, 
are as follows. The sky was clear and the sun shone brightly, 
with just enough wind blowing to keep the boys guessing.

Garfield Gun Club. 
Chicago, 111., July 4.— The appended scores were made on our 
grounds to-day on the occasion of the third trophy shoot of 
the second series. Dr. Meek and McDonald tied for Class A 
on 21. Stone won Class B on 21 and Weydell Class C on 17. 
Two events of 10 targets were shot off for prizes, a fine split 
bamboo fishing rod being awarded the winner in second event, 
ties being drawn for rod instead of shooting off. The winner was 
barred from further competition for the day. Rod winners were, 
Dorman, McDonald, Thomas, Kampp, Clark, Dr. Mathews, Hicks, 
J. J. Ellis, Richards and Dr. Meek. 
The day was a fine one for target shooting, except for a 
strong wind, which made the flight of the targets so erratic as 
to render it impossible to make good scores. As a consequence 
very few straight scores were made during the entire day's 
shooting. 
The attendance was large and enthusiastic, and it took from 
10 A. M. till after 7 P. M. to satisfy the demand for another event. 
A fine dinner was served by the ladies of the club, and all went 
merry as marriage bells. Not a single incident occurred during 
the entire day to mar the pleasure of the occasion. It was one 
of our regular good old-fashioned Fourth of July picnic shoots. 
About fifty shooters took part in the events of the day.
