Springfield Shootmg Club. 
Springfield, Mass.— It was tournament day with us on April 
19, Patriots' Day, and tlie usual large number of shooters turned 
out to try their hand at flying targets. The attendance was not 
as large as usual, the Worcester shoot drawing the shooters who 
live that way. Still, we had our share, and have no reason^ to 
complain. As usual, we had a pleasant day, with the usual wind 
blowing, which kept the scores down in the forenoon. Conditions 
improved during the afternoon, and the referee's call of "Lost" 
was not heard quite as often, though oftener than most of us 
wished for. 
The trade was extra well represented. In addition to the squad com- 
posed of Tom A. J\'larsha!l, Rolla O. Heikes, W. H. Heer, Frank 
E. Butler and IT. H. Stevens, there were present, J. A. R. Elliott, 
W. G. Hearne, Sim Glover, and that T. H. Iveller, Jr., was present 
goes without saying. It was the largest gathering of manufac- 
turers' agents ever present at our tournaments at one time; and 
they did some shooting, too, as the scores will show. 
The principal event of the programme was the sixth, a merchan- 
dise event, known as the National Sportsman's contest. The 
entrance fee was $1, which entitled the shooter to shoot for the 
several merchandise prizes. This event was handicapped back 
to the 20yd. mark. Professionals were allowed to shoot for targets 
only in this event. The prizes, four in number, were won by the 
following: First, Winchester brush gun, won by Archie Cooley, 
of Somers, Conn. H. L. Edgerton, of Willimantic, Conn., and 
J. B. Sanders, of Albany, N. Y., tied for second and third prizes, 
and on the shoot-off Edgerton won second prize, a Colt's re- 
volver, and Sanders third prize, a Winchester rifle. Fourth prize, 
a brass cleaning rod, was won by B. F. Smith, of Boston. Scores,

Dr Warren t)

Snow and Hawes were on to their job at squad hustling as 
usual, and kept things moving. 
The attendance was rather small during the forenoon, but wheii 
the professionals arrived, the "lookers .on" came with them and 
stayed the rest of the day. 
Everything considered, it was the best tournament we ever 
held. 
Misfire. 
Boston Gttn CI«b. 
Boston, Mass.— Twenty-six shooters were present at Wellington 
to-day, the occasion of the second leg in the four-cornered team 
race, and as the weather was all that could be desired, the after- 
noon proved to be one of the most enjoyable kind. 
Middlesex turned out in full force, and evidently intends to keep 
the advantage thev gained in the first contest, though the boys 
under Capt. Woodruff's direction proved to be the real things to- 
day, averaging over 90 per cent, for a team, and shooting through 
the match with a steadiness that would have spoken well for 
an expert. During this, however, the Middlesexites were busy, 
and gathered in a fine total,' only losing 5 targets of their previous 
32 targets lead, and it surely looks as though nothing short of a 
clean score would dislodge them. 
Thei B. G. C. are saying nothing, but from all indications are 
getting in trim for April 29, at Lowell, which will see the third 
corner run ofif, when they expect to keep up the good work. 
Rob Smith says "all over but the shouting," and intends to 
have his men in line for that date, hoping for an increased lead, 
which will place them on Easy street, as the final shoot is now 
only a few weeks hence, and a good lead will enable them^ to rest 
on their oars till the finishing guns are fired. 
Lowell presented their strongest team for the fray to-day, and 
under ordinary conditions their score would have won, but had 
to be content with a tie for third, with Harvard as a partner. 
Harvard was somewhat unlucky, not being able to get their best 
men to-day, but shot steady, and cleaned up a raft of them. 
Ward, of their team, was high with a Gilbert or Crosby score, 
just one target escaping the 25 grains, 1^/4 ounces No. 7% load, 
and proved to be right on edge, each target being smashed in a 
clean, decisive manner. 
Wait until the next shoot, say all; and as the Lowell boys in- 
tend to have everything in the best of shape for that day, there 
may be something doing. Other scores:

"New Jersey State Sp;ftsmea's Association, 
The Rahway Gun Club, which is the most enterprising in the 
State, having taken hold of the State shoot, will leave nothing 
undone to cover the members with honor on this event. The 
Association has several trophies which will be offered as cham- 
pionships; the club itself has contributed more, and various friends 
have contributed, unasked, among whom may be now announced 
a trophy from the E. I. duPont Co., through the Shotgun 
Smokeless Powder Department of that concern. Programmes are 
in the course of preparation, which will combine features that are 
sure to enlist the satisfaction of the amateur, be he an expert 
or a novice, while the professionals whose principals, have been 
so liberal to the clubs, and individual shooters, will be well taken 
care of. 
Clubs that are not already members of the Association, and 
therefore not at present eligible to compete in the State events, 
may become so by paying $1 initiation fee and $1 annual dues 
before the meeting on June 6; individual, unattached shooters, $1 
per annum, payable the same way.

Haverhill Goa Club. 
Haverhill, Mass., April 19. — The Haverhill Gun Club held their 
ninth annual Patriots' Day shoot to-day, and we were favored with 
a large attendance, as usual. The weather conditions were any- 
thing but favorable for good scores, a high northwest wind play- 
ing all kinds of pranks with the targets and our expert traps work- 
ing very badly. After a lot of work by the Kirkwood boys. Straw 
and Climax, had been put in to no purpose, we worked the 
Sergeant system, and "things" were different; l5ut a lot of valu- 
able time had been wasted. The old traps will find their proper 
place in the junk pile from now on, and an automatic will be 
installed. Our old friends have seen us do better, and our new 
oi'Cs know that we can do no worse at our next shoot, so all 
shall be looking for them. 
In the prize handicap Climax was first, 44 out of 50; Allison and 
Watch tied for se.:ond and third with 40, Allison winning the 
shoot-off, and Williams was fourth. All events were at unknown 
angles. The summary follows:
