Wisconsin State Tournament. 
Wausau, Wis., July 10.— When on the morning of July 8 some 
fifty shooters assembled at the Fair grounds, there was much dis- 
appointment, as the weather man was rather unkind and poured 
down rain in large, steady quantities. 
The gang had come to shoot, and would not be denied, and 
when the rain became less vigorous the start was made, and the 
programme shot out just at dusk. 
The secretary, Mr. McCrossen, was ably assisted by Chas. North. 
F. Hufkin had charge of the office, assisted by G. S. Johnson, 
while Carl Moore and M. N. Weeks were squad hustlers. 
This tournament was conducted on the sliding handicap, which 
gave fairly good satisfaction, but should be abandoned, as the 
report of the gun when coming from behind makes the next man 
deaf, and keeps the referee and office man in "hot water" all the 
time. Besides, it causes shooters to miss targets purposely, to 
avoid the handicap penalty. 
Seventy shooters turned out the second day, many coming for 
the team race, and the Peters gun contest. 
The State championship was won by Mr. Hamilton, a young 
man only nineteen years of age. It is rather hard to decide which 
was the most proud of him, his father or the ladies who were 
present in a goodly number. 
The Peters gun event was not as largely" entered into as it should 
have been, as the day was not long enough to admit of so much 
shooting. The scores were: Fulton 95, Young 94, Kaufman 93, 
Cadwallader 90, Schultze 88, Deering 87, Jussen 87, Babcock 85, 
Nolan 82, McCrossen 83, Hammersmith 64, Kane 73, Voght 65, 
Jultner 79, Vandine 83, Noessler 84, Brown 77, Reardon 84, Sey- 
mour 88, McCirkindale 78, Masters 60, Marsh 80, Horn 80, Sterner 
75, Melius 83. 
Crosby, Heer, Marshall, Le Compte, Young, Cadwallader, Lord, 
Vietmeyer and Seymour were shooting for v.icir various compa- 
nies. 
Will Crosby was high with 360 out of 370, Heer 349, Marshall 344, 
Le Compte 341, Young 339, Cadwallader 335. Deering made high 
amateur, 333, and Ford one less. 
The business meeting resulted in selecting Menominee, Mich., 
for the next meeting. Paul Browne, of Reinlander, was chosen 
President; Henry Greer, of Menominee, Secretary. 
Menominee will surely give a fine shoot next year; it has the 
men to push it.

Central Illinois TrapBhooters' Tournament. 
Litchfield, 111., July 13.— The third shoot of the season for the 
Congress of Illinois Trapshooters has passed into history. This 
time the rain did not interfere with the shoot, and all went well 
for the two days. ' • , , „, „ 
Jim Head won high average from the 18yd. mark. Chas. Spencer 
second from 19yds., and Walter Huff third from the same post. 
Chan. Powers won the amateur average, but Clay pressed him 
hard. Hall, Cottrell and Cummings followed in order. 
A new trap was used. 
Of course, Leslie Standish was with the boys. All were sorry 
that Hart Bronough could not be with them. Powers was back 
at 19yds but made several high scores nevertheless, and there was 
Cummings who could not shoot the day his wife was a spectator. 
On the second day there was some tall hustling when 4,000 targets 
were thrown in two hours. • , ± . 
It was the first visit of Walter Huff from Georgia, who will ever 
be welcome. Chas. Spencer was not far from home. He seldom 
misses a high average. Well, , not from the 16yd. mark. 
The scores: 
July 12, First Day.

Denver Tournament. 
Denver, Colo., July 15:— The Grand Western Handicap tourna- 
ment opened here July 12, under favorable circumstances. The 
ground conditions could not be better, but in the afternoon a 
heavy electrical storm came near laying out some of the shooters. 
Yet the programme was finished, and a 20-target handicap was 
pulled off. ., , . ,, 
The information reached the management that some ot the 
Kansas men had been delayed by a storm. The scores made 
the first day were very good, as Gilbert made 97 per cent., and 
Youngman, of Denver, and Waddington, of Nebraska, made 95 
per cent Geo. Maxwell, the one-armed man from Nebraska, shot 
near the top. Many a man with two good arms fell much below 
Ins score 
The shock of the thunderbolt did not cause Fred Whitney much 
trouble after he found that his score sheet was all O.K. 
President McKenzie claimed to be immune, hence the shoot 
went on. In the handicap race Budd, Maxwell and Miller divided. 
The scores: 
July 12, First Day.

July 13, Second Day. 
Weather good, attendance larger than the first day. There were 
some reversals of form and yet all shot well, especially John Gar- 
rett, who only missed four out of the 200. Gilbert had a partner 
in Clayton, as they lost 9 each. Garrett ran 111 straight and lost 
in the handicap. ,. i ^ 
The Colorado championship was won by Mann after a shQQt-off 
with six others.
