Lowell Gun Club. 
Lowell, Mass. — Herewith please find full scores of the tourna- 
ment of the Lowell Gun Club, held on Labor Day, Sept. 5. 
The weather conditions were all that could be desired, and the 
wives and sweethearts of many of the shooters graced the oc- 
casion with their presence. The events were shot over five 
expert traps, and all shooting was at unknown angles, the first 
and eleventh events being sweepstakes, entrance 50 cents. Events 
4, 5, 6 and 7 constituted a 50-target race, open to local shooters. 
There were twenty-five contestants for the two valuable prizes 
offered by the club. The first prize, a gold mounted smoking 
set, was won by Rule with the tidy score of 48 out of 50, Dean 
taking second, a plaque of game, with a score of 45. 
Much interest was centered in the five-man team race, which 
was won by the local club, though closely pressed by the Water- 
town team. There was much regret on the part of the shooters 
present that the Haverhill boys were handicapped by being one 
man short, but they gamely shot out the race with four men, and 
it was generally conceded that if their full team was present 
they would have given the local team a hard rub. 
Six valuable prizes were offered to those shooting the entire 
programme. First was won by Horace Kirkwood, of the Boston 
Gun Club, with the handsome total of 141, winning the silver 
loving cup. This was a popular win, and Horace was con- 
gratulated by all present, especially by the ladies. Second and 
third prizes were won by George, of Haverhill, and Bower, of 
Amesbury, who tied on the score of 138. The prizes were a silver 
and gold badge and 100 loaded shot shells. 
Rule won fourth prize with a score of 135; prize, fishing rod. 
Dean won fifth prize, a razor, with a score of 131. Roy and 
Temple tied for sixth prize with 130, Roy winning on the shoot- 
off; prize, can of smokeless powder. 
The clerical work of the tournament was ably looked after by 
G. E. Lull, while the success of the tournament was largely due 
to the hustling ambition of the popular secretary, E. J. Burds.

Pahquioque Rod and Gun Club. 
Danbury, Conn., Sept. 3. — Our club held a shoot Sept. 1 to 
entertain Fred Gilbert, the crack shot, and T. E. Doremus, repre- 
senting the smokeless powder bureau, and it was a treat to see 
an expert like Gilbert shoot. He broke 122 out of 125 and gave 
a fine exhibition of marksmanship. 
Mr. Doremus broke his gun, so did not shoot but made himself 
useful in other ways, and making friends with the boys. 
Dr. Moore, of Manchester, president of the Connecticut Associa- 
tion of Gun Clubs, and R. E. Reynolds were here also and shot 
well, and made many friends. We hope to have them come again, 
as it helps make interest in the club. C. Stevens and Wm. 
Gregory made a good showing, shooting in the squad with the 
experts and making as good a score as any except Gilbert, in 
one 25-bird event the squad broke 117 out of 125, Gregory and 
Gilbert scoring 25 straight. There was a large crowd of specta- 
tors and about twenty shooters present. All said Mr. Gilbert 
was a wonder; he would break the targets before they hardly 
got out of the trap. Following are the scores:

Springfield Shooting* Club. 
Springfield, Mass.— This club held their annual fall tourna- 
ment at inanimate targets on their club grounds at Red House 
Crossing on Labor Day, Sept. 5. This was the most successful 
tournament ever held by this club, both from attendance and 
number of targets trapped. During the day 7,100 targets were 
trapped, which is 1,300 more than were ever trapped before at a 
tournament held by this club. 
During the day 70 different shooters participated in the various 
events. The trade was well represented, Fred Gilbert, T. E. 
Doremus, H. S. Welles and Sim Glover being on hand. 
The day was an ideal one for shooting. The sun came out 
bright in the morning, but soon hazed over, giving out that soft 
dull light so much preferred by shooters, as it causes the targets 
to look extra large. Hardly a breath of wind was stirring, which 
caused the targets to fly very evenly. Altogether, . it was very 
easy shooting and some good scores were made, also some poor 
ones, which it is best not to say too much about. In most of the 
events there were forty shooters, but they gradually dropped out 
as the afternoon passed away, and in the last two events only three 
or four squads could be mustered. They were of the "old faith- 
ful" strain, however, and stuck it out to the finish, although 
they had to wait for the targets to reach the sky line before they 
could see them. The . merchandise prizes for the amateurs who 
shot through the entire programme were hotly contested for and 
were won by the following shooters: First, silver loving cup, D. W. 
Sawin, Gardner, Mass; second, Stevens rifle, Geo. Chapin, Brook- 
field, Mass. ; third, lancewood trout rod. Mr. Tallman, Pough- 
keepsie, N. Y. ; fourth, Carleton reel, Frederick Le Noir, of 
local club; fifth, 100 loaded shells, H. E. Barstow, Rockville, 
Conn. 
The high gun for the day was D. W. Sawin, of Gardner, who 
made the fine score of 185 out of 200, beating Gilbert, the pro- 
fessional, by three targets. Mr. Gilbert missed his first target, 
which seemed to knock him out for the day. He was much 
fatigued from the hard trip he has had throughout the New 
England States, shooting five days a week for the past two weeks 
and jumping around from one place to another, in order to fill 
the dates marked out for him. The club is much indebted to 
Mf. Arnold, of the Somerville, Conn., Club, who handled the 
affairs of the office in such fine shape. 
That the traps worked fine may be judged by the number of 
targets thrown, 7,100, which is "just a few," considering that 
only one set of traps were used. Many ladies were present, who 
watched the sport with much interest. Perhaps some one can 
explain why the professionals shoot so poorly on our grounds. 
It is a funny thing, but they all fall down in their shooting herej 
although we have one of the nicest shooting grounds in the 
country, so they all say. 
Following are the scores of those who shot at 200 targets of 
the entire programme:
