Raleigh Tournament. 
Raleigh, N. C— Our fourth annual tournament closed with the 
best attendance and the most successful yet held. While the 
attendance was not quite as large as we expected, the enthusiasm 
and good shooting made up the difference. 
The trade was represented by six as jolly sportsmen as sent out 
by the different companies. Walter Huff always wears a smile, , 
especially when the ladies were around, and you could see he 
cornered off most any old time with one of North Carolina's fair- 
est daughters. J. Mowell Hawkins, Emory H. Storr, Neaf 
Apgar, Col. J. T. Anthony and Mr. Ellyson were the others. 
We had amateur shooters from nearly every club in the State. 
A magazine trap was used, and I never saw one work so well. 
Very few targets were broken. 
The sliding handicap was used, and it always gives entire satis- 
faction. No one can kick on his own handicap. 
Geo. Lyon, of Durham, had the trade representatives distanced 
in each day's shoot, and when you are ahead of Huff and 
Hawkins you are going some. He is the best trap shot in our 
State. 
James I. Johnson, president of our club was second high ama- 
teur. Killett, of Wilson, was third. Walter Huff was high for the 
trade representatives. 
The last, or special, event on the first day's programme was at 
25 targets for premium of a twenty-year life policy, given by the 
Prudential Life Insurance Company. . It proved to be the most 
exciting and interesting race of the tournament. Nearly every 
amateur was entered for the event, but Lyon G. Whitaker and 
Ellington tied on 25. Lyon dropped out in the next 25, and 
Ellington and Whitaker went straight. For a third time they 
tied on 24, and a fourth time on 23, making 97 out of 100 shots. 
This was good shooting, and would have continued, but darkness 
broke up the fun. It was shot off in the Lyon trophy race, Elling- 
ton winning by one target over Whitaker. 
Twenty-three were entered for the Lyon trophy, which was won 
by Geo. Lyon; score,- 96 out of 100. He gave this trophy to our 
club last year, and it was won on 93 by Whitaker. It must be. 
won twice in succession to become the property of winner. 
The weather was exceptionally fine for both days, and no reason 
why some of the shooters did not do better; but when you come 
with a sliding handicap, it is more difficult shooting. 
Messrs. . Todd and Barnes rendered valuable assistance in run- 
ning everything right up to date, and we thank them very much 
for so kindly assisting us. 
Scores for both days, Oct. 19 and 20: 
Trade representatives, average on a total of 360 targets: Huff 
336, Hawkins 325, Anthony 323, Storr 319, Apgar 316, Ellyson 301.

Fulford Memorial Fund. 
New York, Oct. 29.— Editor Forest and Stream: Will you kindly 
allow us space in which to put before your readers as briefly as 
possible our excuse for appearing in print. All of them are un- 
questionably aware that on Saturday, Oct. 15 last, there passed 
away at Utica, N. Y., one of the very best shots and one of the 
most whole-souled fellows in the trapshooting world, a man of 
whom we believe it may truthfully be said that there was neither 
man, woman nor child who could be reckoned as other than his 
friend. We refer of course to E. D. Fulford, whose career as a 
trapshooter during the past twelve years has been an exceptionally 
brilliant one. 
It has been suggested that very many of those whom he de- 
lighted to reckon among his friends would appreciate an oppor- 
tunity of showing the esteem in which they held him. With that 
end in view the committee named below has been appointed, which 
shall be known as "The E. D. Fulford Memorial Fund Com- 
mittee," to whose care has been entrusted the erecting of such a 
monument as shall suitably express to others who did not know 
him as well as we did, just how high in the estimation of his 
friends the late Mr. Fulford stood. 
Several subscriptions to the fund have already come to hand, and 
will be 1 duly acknowledged. In order to simplify matters, it may 
be as well to state that we have decided to ask Mr. James T. 
Skelly to act as custodian of all moneys received for the fund. 
Although we have received from him no formal acceptance of such 
a post of trust, we understand that he will act as above, and we 
therefore request that all checks, postal orders, etc., relating to 
the fund be made out in his name, and be forwarded to him, 
"care of E. I. duPont Company, P. O. Drawer 1001, Wilmington, 
Del." 
Thanking you in advance for granting us space in which to set 
forth the above, we remain, 
The E. D. Fulford Memorial Fund Committee. 
T. H. Keller, Peters Cartridge Company, Chairman. 
Frank E. Butler, U. M. C. Company.

Mullerite Gun Club. 
The Mullerite Gun Club held its first shoot on the grounds of 
the' Richmond Gun Club, of Concord, S. I., on Oct. 26. The 
shoot was very successful, but Tribune trap, run by motor, was 
throwning targets hard and right into a 60-mile-an-hour gale; 
therefore low scores:
