Sistersville Tournament. 
Sistersville, West Va., Oct. 15.— The fall target tournament of 
the Sistersville Gun Club, which took place on their grounds here 
on Oct. 3.2 and 13, proved to be one of the best little tournaments 
ever held in the Ohio valley. The attendance was hardly what 
was expected, but thirty shooters taking part, and was all that 
could be handled with one magautrap. 
The shooting commenced promptly at 9:30 o'clock, and there 
was no intermission, not even for lunch, until nearly 5 o'clock in 
the evening. I don't mean to say that we didn't eat, for we did, 
but it was at odd times, when it would not interfere with the 
shooting. - ■ . 
The weather, especially on the second day, was just a shade 
off color, but there was not a single complaint heard. 
The magautrap— well, the old thing did herself proud. The boys 
all wanted to take it home with them, as they thought it the best 
one they had ever seen. 
The cashier's department was in the hands of Mr. W. B. Wood- 
ruff, of the local club, and there is just one man in the world 
that can do better work than he did, and that man is the same 
little Woodruff, with a little more practice. 
The affair was under the management of Ed. O. Bower, and it 
is hardly necessary for us to say that he was kept quite busy, 
although Ed says it is simply pie to run a shoot with such as- 
sistance as was rendered by the "two Johns (John F. Mallory 
and John A. Penn) as squad hustlers; Ralph Trimble, T. D. 
Priddy, W. T. Davenport, D. D. Gross and Snappy Watson. 
These boys were here, there any everywhere at the same time, 
and whenever there was anything to do, they asked no questions, 
but did it. At a meeting of our club since above shoot, a reso- 
lution was adopted making these gentlemen honorary life mem- 
bers of our club, and we hope they will all live a thousand years. 
The trade was represented by Ralph L. Trimble, W. T. Daven- 
port and D. D. Gross. Everything passed off without a hitch, 
and all present seemed pleased and as happy as June bugs. The 
scores follow:

were in the tie for first place with 25. The shoot-off was to be 
decided in the regular events that were to follow, and after the 
completion of the programme, or four strings of 25 in the shoot- 
off, four of the contestants— C. W. Decker, W. A. Wiedebusch, 
R. L. Hibbs and Ed. O. Bower— were still in the tie. In the fol- 
lowing shoot-off, however, all dropped out but Mr. W. A. Wiede- 
busch, the popular boy from Fairmont, and he was declared the 
winner. C. W. Decker, R. L. Plibbs, S. T. Mallory, Jos. R. 
Miller and Ed. O. Bower each received 100 loaded shells. It was

debusch 92 and 69, Ed. O. Bower 63 and 65. Sycamore. 
St. Marys Tournament. 
St. Marys, Pa., Oct. 10. — The first, annual tournament of the Iff 
Gun Club, of St. Marys, Pa., was held on their new club grounds 
Oc. 6 and 7. In every way the tournament was a success, events 
being run off without any unnecessary delay. About forty shooters 
were in attendance, and good scores were made, considering the 
fact that on the first day a high wind interfered with the targets 
and the extremely cold weather chilled the shooters through and 
through. On the second day there was less wind, and the tem- 
perature had moderated considerably, and better scores were made. 
H. Millen, of Du Bois, was high gun for the two days with a 
total of £96 out of 325 shot at. E. M. Jordan, of Corry, Pa., was 
second amateur high gun, with 292 out of 325 shot at. The special 
prizes for the two amateur high guns of a high grade Ithaca 
gun and a handsome leather chair, were awarded to these two 
men respectively. 
L. J. Squier won the silver cup for professionals, with a score of 
295 out of 325 shot at. The cup given by the Iff Gun Club for 
the best team of five shooters shooting at 25 targets each was 
won by the Du Bois team, with a score of 104; Kane team sec- 
ond, and Iff Gun Club team third. The members of the Du Bois 
team were Millen, Bergoon, Kelley, Wolf and Quinn. 
In the merchandise event there were enough prizes to award 
each shooter a prize. Among the best prizes, A. Sizer, of Kane, 
and E. M. Jordan, of Corry, were tied for first place, with 24 out 
of a possible 25. On the throw-off A. Sizer won first prize, which 
was a chest of tea; E. M. Jordan second, which was a smoking 
jacket. A. Stohr won the pointer pup and J. S. Speer was fourth, 
winning 500 Peters shells. Among other prizes awarded were 
several reed chairs, umbrella and umbrella stand, case of wine 
revolver, cigars, etc. ... - 
The feature of the first day's shooting was the special event be- 
tween Dr. C. J. Jessop, of Kittanning, Pa., and E. W. Kelley, of 
Du Bois, Pa., $50 a side, 25 birds, to be shot at. Kelley broke 
20 out of 25 and Jordan 18.

Ossfning Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., Oct. 15.— To-day we had one of our good old- 
fashioned shoots. Interest in trapshooting is picking up in this 
vicinity. Though we have lost a number of members for non- 
payment of dues, we are constantly receiving new recruits, there 
being six names on the waiting list to be acted upon at the next 
meeting, and they are all shooters. The main event to-day was 
for a $14 Remington target pistol, donated by the president of the 
Ossining Gun Club, Col. Franklin Brandreth. This was a distance 
handicap affair, and was closely contested for. W. H. Coleman
