West Virginia State ' Sportanco's Association. 
SiSTERSViLLE, W. Va., March 20.— I have just returned from 
Parkersburg, W. Va., where I. \yent in , the interests of our State 
Association's, ninth annual tournament, and am glad to be able 
to report to the shooters throughout the' ' country that I found 
everything progressing nicely, with glowing, prospects for easily 
the banner tournament ever held in West Virginia. 
The programme, which goes to the printers to-day, will tell 
about it, and will be yours for the asking about April 15. 
On the first day, May 16, there will be twelve events, all at 15 
targets, entrance $1.50, with $15 added to each. On the second day, 
17th, in addition to the same number of events and same amount 
of added money, there will be one State event at 50 targets for the 
individual State championship, entrance $1.50. In addition to the 
Olin V. Neal trophy, emblematical of the State championship, the 
winner will be presented with a handsome silver cup. This cup, 
now on exhibition, is certainly a thing of beauty, and the lucky 
winner will be excused if he should feel just a little "swelled up." 
On the third day, 18th, there will be the twelve events with $180 
added, together with one State event, two-man team race at 50 
targets per man, for the Peters Cartridge Co. trophy. The en- 
trance to this event will be $3 per team. Of this amount, $1 
from each team entered will be thrown into a purse to be divided 
between the second and third high teams, 60 and 40 per cent. 
The programme will contain a full explanation in reference to this 
particular event. 
A very commendable feature in connection with the above 
tournament, is the adding of $160 in cash for the fourteen low 
guns, it having been taken for granted that the high guns will 
take care of themselves. The writer found the three famous In- 
dians, E. E., John F., and S. T. Mallory, with their sleeves rolled 
up, covered with war paint and feathers, and if pur next annual 
is not a success, it will not be their fault. They are going to see 
to it that nothing is overlooked that would assist in bringing 
about this end. Arrangements are being perfected for the serv- 
ing of meals on the grounds, and it is hardly necessary for me to 
say that everything the market affords will be p'ovided. A very 
unique feature in connection with this part of the programme, is 
the fact that the club furnishes all vegetables fresh from their 
grounds near club house, and in fact, raise all their own chickens 
■which furnish svipply of fresh eggs at all times. 
The grounds of the Ohio Valley Shooting Association contain 
about fifteen acres of very fine garden land, and the stiperin- 
tendent, who with his family lives in the second story of club 
house, being an expert gardener, puts in his whole time in his 
vegetable gardens, poultry yard, and in beautifying the grounds 
around the club house. I had the pleasure of visiting these 
grounds Saturday afternoon, and suggested to the management 
that, while everything seemed almost perfect, a half dozen thor- 
oughbred Jersey cows might prove a paying investment. I looked 
around for the club's livery stable, but was informed that they 
used automobiles. 
While I have no desire to tell tales out of school, I might 
add that there will in all probability be a few things on tap for 
one of the three evening not mentioned in programme, that will 
assist very materially in making all visitors feel that it's the best 
place on earth, and the best tournament they have ever attended. 
We will have more to say about what we propose to do at this 
red-letter shoot a little later on, but are not allowed any more 
space just now. 
Send in your name to Mr. F. E. Mallory, secretary, Parkers- 
burg, W. Va., with "P. S.— Send me programme as soon as ready 
for mailing." Ed. O. Bower, Sec'y-Treas.

Stanfey Gun Qub* 
Toronto, March 18. — The regular weekly shoot of the Stanley 
Gun Cluh^ took place on their grounds on Saturday. The day, 
though mild, was disagreeable, raining quite hard at intervals 
throughout the afternoon, which put somewhat of a damper on 
the sport. Some of the practice events were shot off the club 
house platform, a distance of 26yds., which accounts for the low- 
ness of some of the scores. 
In addition to the regular practice, a team match in the City 
Blue Rock League was shot between the Stanleys and the Park- 
dale gun clubs. The Stanleys shot fifteen men to the Parkdale's 
ten men, on a percentage basis, and was won by the Stanleys 
by 79.20 to 68 per cent. The following is the result of Saturday's 
scores:

The annual tournament of the Stanley Gun Club, on May 17, 18 
and 19 promises to be a splendid success. The solid sterling sil- 
ver trophies being presented by the club and its friends for daily 
and general high average prizes are certainly the most valuable 
ever offered at any similar shoot on the continent. 
The Stanley Gun Club cup event at 50 targets, for which a 
$100 trophy is provided should prove an interesting competition. 
Programmes will be ready by April 15, and a large number of ap- 
plications therefor have been received. The fact t^at the dates 
come immediately before the opening of the O. J. Club races at 
the Woodbine should prove an additional attraction.

Herkimer Hunting Club. 
Herkimer, N. Y., March 20. — On March 11 occurred the initial 
trapshooting tournament given by the newly organised Herkimer 
Hunting Club, with grounds at the driving park. The occasion 
brought together about thirty-five shooters from central New 
York. It was a gratifying success to the committee in charge, 
composed of Messrs. Fred Miller, Frank Grooms, Chas. Brown, 
Bert Helmer and Chas. Barse. 
The targets were thrown a distance of about 65yds., and few 
straight scores were made on account of the wind. The most 
interesting part of the shoot was the strife for the handsome 
silver cup, which was up for the highest average of the pro- 
gramme. It was won by Mr. Charles Windheim, of Utica, on a 
score of 89 out of 100. The trophy was very handsomely en- 
graved for the winner with his name. Other merchandise first 
prizes were won by C. W. Wicks, of St. Johnsville; W. Wagner, 
of Utica; J. Walsh, of Canajoharie. Second prizes were won 
by E. D. Eraser, Frankfort; L. Maine, of Utica, and John Aude, 
of Syracuse. Other sweepstakes were given to Edward Evans, 
Chas. Brown and Frank Metzger, all of Herkimer, and J. Peter- 
son, E. Loughlin, C. Windheim, W. Wagner, L. Maine, all of 
Utica; W. Zeller, of Deck; J. Aude, of Syracuse. 
Mr. J. G. Heath, of New York, was present and rendered very 
valuable service to the club in conducting the events.
