FOREST AND STREAM. 
[July 30, 1904. 
July 21, Third Day. 
Thursday was somewhat cooler, but was not very favorable for 
snooting. I here were heavy, low-lying clouds in the horizon, and 
a strong wind from the right, which made hard targets. Many of 
tne scores, however, were better than on previous days. The at- 
tendance was smaller than on Tuesday, seventy-five shooters taking 
part in the different events. The first shot was fired at 10:30, and 
about Z-.30 the regular programme was finished. The balance of 
the day was devoted to special sweepstake events by those of the 
£? ters who could not set enough of the sport. . 
The programme called for five events at 15 targets and five at 
<i0 targets. These last constituted the match for $1,000 guaranteed 
P urse - L. Wade, of Texas, and Geo. Volk tied for high average 
on 161. Squier and Snow were second with 160 each. Taylor 
third, with 159. 
L. J. Squier and Dr. E. E. Sample tied for fist in the big purse 
event on 93, and divided the first two moneys. Geo. Volk, of 
Toledo, was second with 92. 
Events 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, Grand International Handicap, 100 tar- 
gets, entrance $14. Purse, $1,000 guaranteed, and all surplus 
added. Forty-two high guns, $100 to first, $80 to second, $60 to 
third, $50 to fourth, $40 to fifth, $30 to sixth, $20 to each of the 
next ten, $18 to each of the next ten, $17 to each of the next 
ten, $15 to each of the next six. Surplus: The first $14 to $140 
will be used to create from one to ten moneys for low guns, $14 
each. All other surplus will be divided pro rata between the 
thirty-two high guns. The scores: Squier (20) 93, Sample (16) 93,

July 22, Fourth Day. 
Friday, the closing day of the tournament, was cool, with a light 
north wind in the morning. Toward noon the breeze increased, 
and for a time made the targtes soar badly and few good scores 
were made on No. 2 set. Later in the day it became almost calm 
and much warmer. 
The attendance was very small, most of the shooters having 
left the city the night before, and only thirty-four took part in the 
events. The committee changed the programme to ten 20-target. 
events, $2 entrance, money divided 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. All 
shooting to-day was done over sets 2 and 3, and although late in 
starting, the ten events were finished about 3 o'clock. There were 
few spectators present. 
After the programme was finished several special events were 
shot, and the traps were kept busy until dark. 
The office force had their part of the work finished early, and 
the cashier paid off all winners who presented their orders. No 
one had to. wait. 
The boys all agreed that they had enjoyed themselves, and com-' 
mended the management of the tournament, which left nothing 
to be desired. The scores made to-day were the best of the 
week. Quincy Ward, of Austerlitz, was high, with 186 out of 
200. Anderson second, with 184. Crosby third, with 181. Tom 
Marshall fourth, with 179. The scores:

Scattering Shots. 
A pleasant shoot was the verdict. 
Henry Goodman, of Tennessee, an old-time resident and popu- 
lar shooter, of Cincinnati, is spending a part of his vacation in the 
city. He has given up the shooting game altogether, but could 
not resist the temptation to come out to the grounds on Wednes- 
day and see the boys smash 'em. 
On Tuesday afternoon Chas. Mink, of Philadelphia, gave an in- 
teresting exhibition of fancy rifle shooting. 
Chas. A. Young has joined the professional ranks, having been 
with the Peters Cartridge Co. since the Grand American. 
Fifty dollars were divided between the five high guns shooting 
through all regular events, $15, $12, $10, $8 and $5. The ten low 
guns shooting , the entire programme received $5 each. 
Twenty-five dollars were given to the amateur making the longest 
run, shooting in all the regular events. Won by W. Henderson, 
of Lexington, Ky., with 61. Twenty-five dollars to the amateur 
making the greatest number of straight scores, shooting through 
all regular events. Also won by Henderson, who made five 
straights. 
The club having the greatest number of its bona fide members 
present and participating received $25. The Cincinnati Gun Club 
was barred. 
Entrance $1.50 in 15-target and $2 in 20-target events. In the 
15-target events four moneys, Rose system, 6, 5, 4 and 3. In 
20-target events five moneys, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2. All ties divided. 
All paid representatives were required to pay $2 each day extra 
. and all other shooters $1 each day. This money was divided among 
all amateurs shooting the entire programme and not winning out 
their entrance fees. 
Twenty-five dollars prize for guessing contest. The one esti- 
mating the nearest to the exact number of shooters taking part 
in the tournament received 60 per cent.; second, 40 per cent. 
Only those taking part were eligible and no estimates were ac- 
cepted after July 15. Resident members of the club were barred. 
J. L. Head was the lucky man, guessing 137; Barnett second, 
guessing 138. Correct number was 129. 
All events were handicapped, 14 to 23yds. Under 85 per cent, 
shooters stood at 14 and 16yds. . 
The small number of shooters was a great -disappointment. Two 
years ago at the club's tournament, held in September, 166 shoot- 
ers took part, At the State shoot last year 173 were present. 
Len Shepard, superintendent of the Indianapolis Gun Club, 
was the busiest man on the grounds, and a great help to the 
managers. His friends will be sorry to learn of the severe ill- 
ness of his wife, and will hope for her speedy recovery. 
Frank Alkire landed near the top as usual. "There's no room 
at the bottom" is his motto. 
John Braunagle, Supt. Gambell's right-hand man, "had general 
supervision of the field force, and saw that they "attended to 
their knitting." 
If you saw a crowd in one of the tents, it was a cinch that 
Tom Marshall was in the center, entertaining the boys with some 
of^ his experiences as an Elk. 
The per cent system is responsible for curious but pleasant sur- 
prises. The straights, 20, in one of the events Friday took $4.95 
each, and Chas. Peters with 19 stowed $14.40 in his inside pocket. 
Taylor did not really strike his gait until Friday, when he 
finished with 177. 
Rolla Heikes, or "Pop Heikes," as he is known to shooters, 
shot in every event of the four days, at a total of 740 targets. It 
was a hard strain for him after his recent sickness, and he 
" showed great nerve in sticking to it. 
Billy Crosby was the noisiest man on the grounds. Some one 
heard him speak at the dinner table, and the fact was considered 
worth recording. 
Le Compte, inte some ot the other crack-a-jacks, was not in his 
usual form, and made many unexplainable misses. 
Capt. A. W. du Bray was on the grounds every day, but did no 
shooting. Target shooting is not his game. He goes to Louis- 
ville next week, and from there to Canada, and then to his 
favorite stamping grounds in the Northwest. 
Quincy Ward, of Austerlitz, arrived late, but shot the last two 
days. T. H. Clay was also present one day. They were enjoying 
themselves finely till Jim Head sang "My Old Kentucky Home," 
when they wept, whether at Jim's singing or from homesickness, 
they did not state. , 
Shooters say that a score of 90 on these grounds is equal to 95 
or. 100 on any other, as the targets are at least. 5 to- 10 in 100 
harder here than on any grounds in the country. 
W. Henderson, returned to Lexington, on Thursday evening 
well satisfied with the honors won. He is an easy shooter, and a 
good one. 
The fair sex was in evidence every day. Their presence surely 
brightens up a shoot, and puts the boys on their mettle. 
Lindemuth, one of the Dayton cracks, broke 83 in the 100-target 
race, and landed in the money. 
Barker finished with 90 in the International Handicap. He 
has made a better score, but considering the conditions of 
weather and hard targets, this was good work. 
Squier's score of 93 in the big race netted him a nice little 
bunch of money. 
The best amateur squad on the grounds — Grau, Taylor, Hender- 
son and Snow. Look at their scores. 
Fred Dreihs was at the ' grounds on Thursday. He has just 
returned from a three weeks' fishing trip to the lakes, where he 
enjoyed excellent pickerel, bass and trout fishing. 
The handicapping was done by A. B. Heyl and J. B. Mosby, 
and their perlormance ot what is always an unpleasant duty 
caused no friction. 
Ad Roll had 'em all on the run on practice day, breaking 93 
out of 100. 
Just one hitch in the four days, and this was at No. 5 set of 
traps; but Gambell had it fixed quickly, and the delay was of less 
than five minutes' duration. , . _ 
The Akron boys were conspicuous by their absence. 
Fred Gilbert had other fish to fry and could not attend. It 
seemed queer not to hear him call "Pull." 
J. A. R. Elliott was booked to be here, but failed to material- 
ize or send any excuse. 
The dining room put up by Supt. Gambell, and extending the 
length of the club house, screened and roofed, proved an ideal 
place in which to enjoy one of Mrs. Gambell's famous shooters' 
dinners. Ninety could be seated at once, and were quickly waited 
upon. There were no misses here. 
Squad 10 on Thursday, made up of experts Heikes, Crosby, 
Squier, Spencer and Trimble, had a crowd of admirers, who 
followed them down the line. 
No. 4 set of traps was a hoodoo for many of the shooters, and 
more than one good score was ruined here. 
Barker made a run of 42, not phenomenal, but a good one for 
this tournament. Just a few of the Indians were present, but they 
were all big ones. Tom Marshall, E. Rike, J. L. Head, W. H. 
Heer, Harold Money, C. A. Young, R. O. Heikes and Chris. Gott- 
lieb. 
O. H. Grau, of Newport, Ky., winner of first in the $600 purse 
event is champion of Campbell county, Ky., having recently 
won the title with a score of 92 out of 100. 
Capt. Tom Marshall announced the Indian shoot at West 
Baden, Ind., in August, and invited every one to attend and bring 
their squaws and papooses, guaranteeing them a fine time. 
BONASA. 
Springfield, Mass., Shooting Club. 
Springfield, Mass., July 20.— The Springfield Shooting Club 
held their regular practice shoot on the afternoon of July 20. 
Only a few members showed up, many being away on vacations. 
The extreme hot weather made shooting very uncomfortable. 
Kites won in the badge contest, winning out in the shoot-off 
with Douglass. Both tied on 19 out of 25, Douglass shooting 
from 20yd. mark and Kites from 16yds.

Misfire. 
New Advertisements. 
The Schmelzer Trophy, with its accompaniments of targets and 
trap, should prove attractive to many a gun club through the 
country, since it offers a handsome cup for competition at a very 
modest price. Of course, the Schmelzer Arms Co. does not con- 
fine itself to traps and targets, but sells guns, ammunition, fish- 
ing tackle and other sportsmen's goods, and claims to be the 
largest and cheapest sporting and athletic goods house in the 
world. Send for catalogue. 
The rubber float advertised by the Squantum Fishing Float Co., 
of Providence, R. I., has the quality — possessed by no other float — 
of being adjustable in size, and so in buoyancy. This we con- 
ceive to be a very useful point, and we should suppose the float 
well worthy of investigation by anglers using this device. It is 
inexpensive, takes up no room, and the directions for its use 
show it to be very simple.
