[Oct. 8, 1904. 
Interstate Association at Concordia. 
Concordia, Kans., Sept. 30.— The closing tournament- of the 
Interstate Association series for 1904 was held at Concordia, Kans., 
Sept. 28 and 29, under the auspices of the Concordia Blue Ribbon 
Gun Club. 
Rain frequently plays havoc with baseball, football and | other 
sports, but it will not stop a shooting- tournament. It dampens 
enthusiasm, but the various events go on just the same. Such 
was the case the opening day of this tournament... The wind blew 
a gale while, the earlier events were being shot, and the contestants 
had many disadvantages to contend with. In the afternoon it 
rained furiously for a short time, andJManager Shaner was wishing 
for a "cyclone cellar" for his trapper boys and traps before the 
storm was over. The scores will show, better than can be told, 
how hard the shooting was. i' 
Twenty-six contestants took part in the first day's events and of 
this number sixteen shot in every event. 
Among the manufacturers' agents, Messrs. ' Heer and , Spencer 
tied for first place with 185 out of the.200 shot at; Mr. Marshall' was 
in second place with 180, and Mr. Money third with 179. 
Among the amateurs Mr. Geo. Maxwell was easily in first place 
with 181 out of the 200. This is more remarkable from the fact 
that Mr. Maxwell has but one arm. Mr. Ed. Arnold was in sec- 
ond place with 172, and Messrs. J. L. Jones and Geo. Lewis were 
tied for third with 170. 
The second day was a perfect day for trapshooting, and there 
was a general improvement in the individual scores made. . 
Mr. Heer was again high man among the manufacturers' agents 
with the fine score of 19o out of the 200 shot at; Mr. Spencer was 
second with 191, and Mr. Marshall third with 189. 
Among the amateurs Mr. Ed Arnold was first with 189; Mr. E. 
L. Wetzig was second with 184, and Mr. H. Anderson third with 
182. 
For general average, Mr. Heer was . first among the manufac- 
turers' agents with a score of 380 out of the 400; Mr. Spencer was 
second with 376, and Mr. Marshall third with 369;- 
For general average among the amateurs;'' Mr.' Ed."' Arnold was 
in first place with 361, Mr. Geo. Maxwell second with 360, and 
Mr. Geo. Lewis third with 347. The scores of both days follow:

Gun Bugs Association. 
Ossining-on-the-Hudson, N. Y. — We are organizing an associa- 
tion of trapshooters, and have met with such success that we have 
resolved to introduce our society throughout the United States and 
Canada. 
The reasons and objects of this move can be briefly explained as 
follows: It has been our experience, and it is the opinion of every 
trapshooter we have come in contact with, that there should be a 
closer relationship between trapshooters. This can only be ac- 
complished by adopting an emblem which can be readily recog- 
nized. 
We, most of us, dislike to decorate ourselves with emblems of 
orders we are associated with, but what shooter would object to 
wearing this emblem? A small gold shotgun with a tiny beetle 
(bug) hanging pendant from the barrel. This is the emblem .of the 
Gun Bugs Association of the United States and Canada. The 
gun has a strong pin fastened to it, so that it can be used as a 
scarfpin or stuck on the lapel of the coat. 
In attending out-of-town tournaments, we have all had the ex- 
perience of being alone in some large hotel or in some station or 
train, and wondering if there was some other trapshooter around 
so we could break the monotony and talk "shop" awhile. What 
a welcome sight one of these gold guns would be at such a time. 
We want to enroll 25,000 members in the United States' and 
Canada. By ordering a large quantity of the emblems we are 
enabled to sell them at $2 for the solid gold and $1 for heavy rolled 
gold plate. Five cents extra for postage charges. This price is 
slightly in excess of cost to cover the expense of the great cor- 
respondense we have entered into, and for the dies which have 
been made. 
We insist on the following qualifications: Every member must 
belong to a regularly organized gun club, and must have a club 
average at flying targets of 50 per cent, or better.

World's Fair Scenic Route. 
Because of its magnificent mountain, river and canon scenery, 
its famous battlefields, and points of interest, and because of its 
superior equipment and physical condition, providing all the com- 
forts and safeguards of twentieth century travel, the Chesapeake 
& Ohio is unquestionably the most attractive route between the 
Atlantic Seaboard and the Mississippi Valley. World's Fair and 
through tickets by this route allow stop-over at Virginia Hot 
Springs and Greenbrier White Sulphur, the two most fashionable 
and famous mountain resorts in the country. Solid trains Wash- 
ington to St. Louis, with New York connection via Pennsylvania 
Railroad. — Adv. _ 
Medicine in Camp. 
The emergency medical cabinet advertised elsewhere meets a 
want often felt by those who go into the wilderness away from 
communication with doctor and druggist. Remedies are when 
required, required immediately; the provident camper will have 
them in hand against a sudden call. 
The tremendous demand for small power boats has prompted 
Mr. W. H. Mullins, of Salem, Ohio, to put on the market metal 
launch hulls. The htills are constructed in a thorough manner 
and no amount of racking will make them leak. The boats are 
made in two sizes, 16ft. and 18ft. These launch hulls will prove 
a revelation to the motor boat public.
