FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Sept. 3/1904. 
WESTERN TRAP. 
Michigan State To^rnamett. 
Detroit, Mich., Aug. 18.— One of the 1904 tournaments of the 
Michigan Trapshooters League was held at Grosse Pointe, near 
Detroit, Aug. 16 and 17. It was a success from start to finish. 
It was ably managed by Billy Renick, the local man in charge. 
The trade was well represented by the well-known W. R. Crosby, 
Ralph Trimble, Fred Foster, Rollo Heikes, Tom Marshall, Max 
Hensler, John Cole and Jack Parker. 
The weather was fine, bright, warm with a slight breeze. 
W. R. Crosby missed but 2 out of 190; then Pap lost but 5; 
Marshall 13, and Trimble 13. While they were going some of the 
amateurs were busy watching Ben Scott, of Grass Lake, who 
made but 8 misses. Scott also won the expert medal after a shoot- 
off with John Cox. N. E. Hubbard, of Battle Creek, made a 
straight 25, and with it won the semi-expert trophy. The ama- 
teur medal was won by C. Vcrmilya. 
The second day, as is the usual custom, did not show as many 
shooters, yet enough were present to insure a successful meeting. 
Crosby led on the general two days' score by 4. A. Toll made 
the best amateur score for the day, losing 14 out of 190; Hub- 
bard, of Battle Creek, and Walcott, of Jackson, tied for the 
second place. Then in summing up the totals the high men for 
both days were Walcott, Toll and Scott. 
The most interesting event was the team ""shoot, and this time 
Jackson was fortunate and outshot the Detroit boys. It was a fine 
score, viz. : 
Jackson— Scott 25,. Wolcott 23, Watts 23; total 71. 
Detroit, No. 1— Marks 23, Springcorn 24, Wolf 22; total 69. 
Detroit, No. 2— Renick 21, Toll 23, Woods 25; total 69. 
Battle Creek— Hubbard 24, Bernard 19, Hensler 20; total 63. 
Point Clemens— Chapman 20, Peltier 21, Sparks 20; total 61..

Recreation Rod and Gun Club. 
Morgantown, W. Va., Aug. 26.— The twenty-second regular 
weekly shoot of the Recreation Rod and Gun Club, of this city, 
was held at Recreation Park this afternoon, with sixteen guns and 
quite a number of visitors out. 
Poor weather conditions and a gusty wind from the north, 
which blew the burnt powder back into the shooter's face, and a 
bad mountain haze, made the shooting very difficult, and as a 
result, the scores for the day were all low. 
W. N. Dowson won the club championship medal for the week 
with 88.2 per cent., and also gets credit with the longest run of 
consecutive breaks for the day. Jas. H. Kennedy won the presi- 
dent's cup for the week with 20 birds. The scores: 
Event 2, 25 birds, Classes A, B and C: Dawson 23, Jacobs 14, 
G. F. Miller 16, Kennedy 16, Barthlow 13, J. L. Smith 12, Beattie 
5, Herd 12, Moreland 14, Price 22, Cobun 20, Deusenberry 19, 
Van Voorhis 16, Taylor 12, Hayes 13. 
Event 3, six-man team race, 15 birds per man: 
Dawson 14, Jacobs 11, G. F. Miller 6, Kennedy 10, Barthlow 13, 
J. L. Smith 4; total 58 
Price 13, Cobun 13, Deusenberry 10, Van Vorhis 13, Taylor 9,

Factoryvllle Gun Club. 
Factoryville, Pa., Aug. 26. — The first annual merchandise tour- 
nament, held by the Factoryville Gun Club, had a programme of 
three events, 30, 20 and 15-target shoots, making 65 targets in all 
that each man shot at. 
There was a very strong wind on the range, making the 
targets very hard to break, and therefore no high scores were 
made, Mr. Brown making the highest score, with 57 out of 65. 
H. M. Spencer was second and C. L. Class third. Brown won the 
first prize, a valuable gold medal, donated by H. Popper & Sons, 
of New York, and Spencer the second, a handsome gold badge 
donated by. the Hunters Arms Company, of Fulton. N. Y. 
The members who won prizes were Messrs. A. A. Brown, H. M. 
Spencer, C. L. Cress, Louis Bedell, E. J. Biddleman, W. J. 
Rogers, F. R. Lindsey, John Palmister, Dr. A. B. Fitch, Irving 
Stemets, V. R. Gardner, G. Hunt, Henry Carpenter and Daniel 
Carpenter.

The 20th Century gun oil, better known as "3 in One," is 
thought by many users "of the shotgun to be far the best lubricant 
for guns ever devised. Although it seems but a very few years 
since it first came on the market in a very small way, a great 
factory is now required to manufacture it so as to keep up with 
the demand. The G. W. Cole Company will send free sample
