Charlottesv lie Tournament. 
Charlottesville, Ya., July 22.— The Charlottesville and Uni- 
versity of Virginia Gun Club held its fifth annual tournament on 
July 20. and 21. The shoot was managed in a most acceptable man- 
ner by the veteran trap shot, Mr. Geo. L. Bruffey. He was assisted 
materially by the squad from Lynchburg and especially by Dr. 
W. W. Dennis. 
Shooters were in attendance from many Virginia towns, Char- 
lotte, N. C, and Washington, D. C. The Waynesboro club had 
the largest representation present, followed by the Lynchburg club. 
Mr. W. A. Hammond, . of Richmond, Va., secretary of the 
Virginia Trapshooters' Association, was among the visiting shoot- 
ers, and did some missionary work for the State shoot, which 
is to be held in his city in September— opening on Labor Day, 
September 5, continuing through, the. 6th. and . 7th. Mr. Ham- 
mond informed the boys that elaborate preparations were being 
made for their entertainment, and it was expected that the pro- 
gramme, which will be issued soon, will give general satisfaction. 
Mr. Hammond not only talks well, but shoots, well. On the first 
day he won the handicap event for a Winchester gun from the 
20yds mark, scoring 23 out of . a possible 25. On the second day 
he won high amateur average, scoring 147 out of a possible 160 
targets. : \ 
The following manufacturers' agents were present, and their 
presence had much to do with the success of the shoot: Col. J. 
T. Anthony, S. T. Baskerville, J. M. Hawkins and E. H. Storr. 
The programme consisted of eight 20-target events for merchan- 
dise prizes, and a handicap event each day for a Winchester gun. 
Col. Anthony won high average for the professionals on the 
first day, while Mr. W. R. Winfree, of Lynchburg, won high 
amateur average and also the money for the longest run —29 
targets. Mr. S. T. Baskerville won the high professional 
average for both days, scoring 287 out of a possible 320. Mr. E. 
H. Storr was only one bird behind Mr. Baskerville and secured 
the second average, while Col Anthony won third place. 
Mr. J. M. Hawkins was out of form and sick, but shot the 
programme through, landing in fourth place among the profes- 
sionals. 
On the second day, Dr. Dennis won the prize for the longest 
run — 32 straight. On this day Geo. L. Bruffey, of the home caib, 
won the handicap event for the gun, scoring 24 out of 25 from 
the 20yds. mark. His shooting was excellent. 
The young ladies of the Methodist Episcopal Church furnished 
a substantial lunch, which was much enjoyed. 
The shoot was a very pleasant affair and passed off without a 
hitch or a jar (though the boys were jarred by the hard shoot- 
ing), thanks to Mr. Bruffey's diplomacy, and all departed for 
their home feeling that it was good to have been there. 
The following are the scores:

Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, Mass., July 20.— The last serial prize shoot of the 
Boston Gun Club for 1904 was held at Wellington to-day, and 
though a small attendance, it turned out to be an enthusiastic 
one. Just ten events were shot off, and the interest never waned 
till the last shot was fired and guns and shells were packed up 
for other fields to conquer, which, we understand, is on the 
programme for some of the members. 
The scores tell the story that" really is hard to break; but if old 
Bill Jones had been alive, he would have changed his usual re- 
mark and admitted that the shooting was extremely difficult and 
the scores were large, considering the conditions. One shooter, 
however, was in his element and shot for 82 per cent, and easily 
led in all the matches and making a good impression with the 
scatter gun for his first experience over a magazine trap. Worth- 
ing was second, running a race with Frank; and, annexing a 
few targets on the last two events, turned out to be the neces- 
sary article. Frank, however, intends to get back at the earliest 
opportunity, and won't be satisfied till the time comes. 
In the serial match finished to-day, the oldest member of the 
club proved to be just too good for the younger generation, filling 
out his scores with a 91, two targets to the good of Bell with 89. 
No one, however, deserves it as much, for it was the result of 
careful and steady shooting and proves that the old reliables can 
still show the new models just a little about shooting. Second 
position was taken care of by Bell, the winner of first in the 
previous series, with Frarik trailing just far enough back to see 
daylight between them. Next in line came Worthing, with one 
target better than Kirkwood, who in turn lead the Cambridgeport 
Burns by three targets. Muldown and Lee fought it out for the 
next two positions, Muldown ending with a good lead and fully 
satisfied. Other scores:

Awosting Gun Club. 
New Paltz, N. Y. — The Awosting Gun Club held a successful 
tournament on July 15, thirty-six shooters being in attendance. 
Mr. H. H. Valentine, of Albany, was high man in the third event, 
winning a handsome $10 gun case. Harry is not only a good shot 
but he is very popular. Capt. Blandford, of the Ossining team, 
was a close second, winning the shooting jacket. Mr. Blandford 
also won first average. 'Ike Tallman, who generally gets his share 
and a little more quite often, won second average, and Mr. Val- 
entime third average. Capt. Traver, of the Poughkeepsie team, 
who has been shooting in fine form lately, fell off in his average. 
The low scores in the eighth event were caused by the rubber on 
the trap getting out of order while first squad was shooting, con- 
sequently all the eighth event was shot in same condition except 
the last squad, which was not in for the money. 
The Marlboro team has not been beaten but once or twice be- 
fore since their organization in 1896. A number of veteran shoot- 
ers were loud in their praise of our shooting grounds, saying it 
Parker pnze gun shoot, 100 targets', handicap of added targets:

Montclair, N. J. — Only six or seven members put in an ap-

tendance, which is due to the fact that most of the members 
are away; a very pleasant afternoon was spent. Scores follow:

Bound Brook Gun Club. 
Bound Brook, N. J., July 21.— At - our regular club shoot on 
July 16 at 2~P. M., Mr. Stelle won the main event, the Pardee cup. 
The permanent holder of this cup must win it three times in suc- 
cession, which is naturally a hard thing to do. Mr. Dunning 
almost won it. He had two handles, but could not get the third. 
Dr. Pardoe donated a medal, which was won by Martin, on 8 out 
of 10. Dr. Bache did good work in sweeps, making the only 
straight score.

CINCINNATI GUN CLUB TOURNAMENT JULY 16, 1904. 
Indians seated on ground in front. Trade representatives in second row. 
could not be beaten anywhere. Moore, of the local team, did 
some good work, considering his short experience. 
George Ginn and Air. Briggs, trade representatives, were pres- 
ent. 
There is a great deal of enthusiasm springing up in this vicinity 
over trapshooting. The third event was an interesting one both 
to the shooters and to the large crowd present, and especially so 
to the ladies, who were present in large numbers. Some were 
watching their husbands, while others had their eyes on their best 
fellows, and their exclamations of "Oh, my!" when a target was 
missed, could be heard quite frequently. The team shoot be- 
tween the Marlboro, N. Y., Gun Club and the Awosting Gun 
Club was also decided in the third event. The scores:

Poughkeepsie Gun Club. 
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., July 21. — With Capt. Traver at Cincinnati, 
Du Bois at Boston, and several others away on vacation, the 
attendance to-day was rather slim; but seven men showed up. 
Although the scores made were not high, the shooting was fair 
considering that the trap was being run by a local aspirant for 
bicycle honors, who, at times, imagined that he was coming 
down the home stretch and everything depended on a sprint, at 
which time the targets were thrown a full 70yds., and all chance 
of a straight score destroyed. 
In the race for the Condit medal, Winans, by well-timed and 
careful shooting, made a score that, with his handicap, landed him 
a winner. Perkins, in this event, as in the next, did good work, 
too, but his allowance of added breaks was too low to tie the 
winner. 
In the event for the Peters shells, Snyder scored a win, beating 
Perkins, with his handicap, just one point. Scores follow:

The Cincinnati Gun Club house and grounds are slowly being 
restored to the normal condition, and many of the members who 
went out there on July 25 preferred sitting on the veranda talking 
over the events of the tournament just closed and watching the 
work to shooting. They had enough for a few days. The weather 
was delightful. 
In the shoot to-day high gun in actual breaks was Peters, with 
92. Peters is certainly doing excellent work, and will give Barker, 
Medico, Gambell ana the other cracks of the club a run for their 
money if he continues at his present gait.
