FOREST AND STREAM. 
[May 6, 1905. 
Awosting G«n CI«b. 
New Paltz, N. Y, — The second annual tournament of the 
Awosting Gun Club, of Newport, N. Y., April 21, brought out as 
fine a crowd of shooters as ever pulled a trigger. The ten events 
with a total of ISO targets, was finished in good season, and every- 
body was v/ell pleased witli the-.r treatment and day's sport. 
The rain of the night before, and the heavy fog of the morning 
of the shoot, kept at least twenty-five shooters from coming. But 
rain has no terrors for a dead-game sport, and forty-seven of them 
appeared on the grounds to take part in the programme, and to 
■welcome the experts — Marshall, ITeer, Butler, Heikes and 
Stevens — and just put a mark right here, they are socially, as well 
as "shooterly," as fine a bunch as ever looked down over a gun. 
There were shooters present from Saratoga, Schenectady, 
Albc.ny, Catskill, Kingston, Poughkeepsie, New York city,' Mid- 
dletown, Ossining, Tltmter, VValden, and several other nearby 
towns, and all were loud in their praise of the excellent pro- 
gramme, the unsurpassed firing line, arid the way the managers 
handled the tournament. Y. B. Strong handled the crowd out- 
jide, while Snyder did the stunts in the office, and their scores 
suffered somewhat, as a natin-al result. Rolla Heikes was high 
gun with 169 out of 180. Heer and Stevens 166 each — remarkable 
scores on a dark day and a heavy wind blowing. We would not 
be surprised if Harry \'alentine . settled down here. Last year 
he captured everything in sight here, and this year worked in a 
repetition, 162 out of 180, first amateur average, '$20, and the $100 
Ithaca gun, with 25 straight. 
Charley Floyd second average, $15 and the gold watch. Second 
ari/. e, Floyd and S'ater shot off a tie, 24 out of ?5. Jap won out, 
Slater taking th-rd prize, the gun case. Capt. Traver won third 
average, $10, and also came in on the merchandise. Sanders won 
fourth average, $5, and the solid gold cuff buttons, first prize in 
merchandise. Warwick won fourth prize in mer-handise, Blauvelt 
jacket. Scott won fifth prize, shooting coat; Hyland, sixth, car- 
tridge case; Johnston seventh. Bristol steel fly-rod; J. Rhodes 
eighth, opera glasses; O. H. Brown ninth, cuff buttons; Greene 
eleventh, hunting knife. Strong, Tompkins, Shaw and Snyder 
also won prizes in merchandise. 
The trade was represented also by Mr. Grimm and Harry 
Welles, in addition to the U. M. "C. boys. Tom Marshall's 
smiling face extended several inches with a group of young 
ladies around him listening to his fairy tales and handing out 
the buttons and pins. 
That 25 straight put a broad smile on Harry Welles. 
The ladies, under the management of Mrs. Snyder, put up a 
fine lunch, w-hich everybody enjoyed. 
There is strong talk of sending a team from here to compete 
for the Dean Richmond trop'ny at the State meet at Utica.

Interstate at Hopki .sville. 
HopKiNSVTLLE, Ky., April 29. — The Interstate Association tour- 
nament at Hopkinsvil'e, Ky., April 26 and 27, while not largely 
attended, was thoroughly enjoyed by those who were present. 
The ITopkinsville Gun Club was organized in the spring of 1902 
v/ith only a few devotees of the sport, but owing to the rapidly 
spreading interest taken in its welfare, has grown and can now 
boast of quite a large number of vpnthusiastic members. Located 
as the club is in the center of quite a number of gun clubs, it has, 
through the interest of neighboring clubs, enjoyed quite a suc- 
cess in each of the few tournaments given on its grounds, and 
no one seemed able to explain just why the attendance was not 
larger on this particular occasion. 
A. high wind prevailed entirely throughout the first day, and 
wdien the programme was completed, the scores were much lower 
than had been expected in most instances. Tak'ng into considera- 
tion the most unsuitable weather conditions, the scores made are 
excellent. 
The highest score of the day was made by Mr. F. C. Riehl, a 
manufacturers' agent, v^ho broke 192 out of 200 shot at. Mr. C. 
O. Le Compte and Mr. Tohn S. Boa tied for second honors with 
188. Mr. Harold Money was third with 186. 
Mr. Al. Willerding was high amateur, breaking 179 out of 200 
Mr. Frank Legler was a close second with 178, and Mr. E. M. 
Moss third with 174. 
The weather conditions were much more propitious the second 
ciay, the wind not being high enough to seriously interfere with 
the shooting. ' Mr. John S. Boa was high manufacturers' agent 
with 192, and Mr. C. O. Le Compte th-'rd with 189. Mr. E. M. 
Moss was high amateur with 188, with Messrs. Frank Legler and 
Al. Willerding tied for second place with 186. Mr. Andrew 
Meaders was third with 184. 
For general average Mr. John S. Boa was in first place with 
381. Mr. F. C. Riehl second with 380, and Harold Money third 
with 378, this among the manufacturers' agents. 
For general average among the amateurs Mr. Al. Willerding 
was first with 365, Frank Legler second with 364, and Mr. E. M. 
Moss third with 362. Mr. Willerding was presented with a very 
handsome watch charin, representing a clay target. 
After the regular events had been shot the second day a team 
race was shot, the teams being selected from among those who 
took part in the tournament. Messrs. Riehl and Boa acted as 
captains, each team consisting of seven men, 25 targets per man, 
and the losing team to pay for the targets. Mr. Riehl's team won 
by a score of 161 to 158. 
Including extra events, Mr. John S. Boa made a straight run 
of 139 breaks, Mr. Harold Money 105, and Mr. F. C. Riehl 101. 
The scores of both days follow:

Great Bend Tottrnament. 
Great Bend, Kans. — The tournament of the Great Bend Gun 
Club was conspicuous for good fellowship and good sport. A 
smoker was given on Monday evening by the club, at which Mr. 
Chris. Gottlieb, in his gracious way, presided as toastmaster. 
The speakers made mention of Great Bend's excellent capa- 
bilities for conducting the State shoot of 1906. Messrs Plank 
and Huff tied on 192 for the day's high professional average, 
while Mr. Gottlieb was close up for second with 191. There was 
a drizzling rain during the shooting.

Boston Gun C ub. 
Boston, Mass., April 26. — Twenty-six shogters, equipped with 
the best guns, powders, shells, etc., on the market, wandered 
toward Wellington marshes to-day to participate in the third and 
last serial prize shoot of the sprmg series, and from results ob- 
tained during the matinee, were convinced that their particular 
combination was the real thing and were all ready to give reasons 
for so thinking. 
A regular Boston Gun Club gathering it was, too, with every 
one on pleasure bent, with smoke talks between events on every 
topic of interest to a shooter, which brovight out the sociability 
of trapshooting to no small degree. 
The first straight match scores of the season were made to-day, 
Worthing and Weld securing the honor. The clean way in which 
tl:ey broke their targets proved they were right on edge, and 
will be marks for the handicapper if scores of this kind are to be 
steady diet. 
Gleason and Roy fought it out on the 19yd. line for second 
place, with the honors even, just one bird escaping for each, 
making a crackerjack score under any conditions. As this is the 
Doctor's fourth 29 in the series, he now has a comfortable lead 
on the total with the finish only two shoots away. 
B. F. Smith, of tlie Watertown Club, made his first bow on the 
grounds for 1905, and proved that he had lost none of the old 
aljility. with the scatter gun that was much in evidence during 
the past years at the Buffalo Audubon Club, and gave the regu- 
lars quite a iolt in the pr'ze match with hi? 28 out of 30. 
O. R. Dickey had the pleasure of the 21yd. mark all alone (his 
side partner, Griffiths, not being on hand for this occasion), and 
with his 92.5 per ctnt., proved that the old guard can still show 
their heels to the present generation in a great many cases.

Scoitdale Gun Cltib. 
Scottdale, Pa., April 26.— The Scottdale Gun Club was rather 
unfortunate with the weather at their first two-day tournament 
this year. On Wednesday morning it was cloudy, and during 
the day occasional showers fell, which kept a good many shooters 
away that would have been present. On Thursday it rained 
nearly all day, and the shoot was called off. 
The programme shot on Wednesday called for five 15-bird, 
five 20-bird and one 25-bird event. The moneys were divided 
Jackrabbit and Rose system. Mr. J. Mowell Hawkins was high 
gun, breaking 187. Mr. R. S. Deniker, the old war horse of 
Ruffsdale, Pa., finished second with 182; Mr. A. B. Kelley, of 
Scottdale, Pa., third, with 179, and L. J. Squier, fourth, with 178. 
Mr. Kelsey, of Pittsburg, Pa., broke 131 out of 140 shot at, he 
not having time to finish the programme on account of an en- 
gagement in Pittsburg. 
The trade was represented by L. J. Squire, H. C. Watson, 
Jos. Garland, J. A. R. Eillott, J. Mowell Hawkins and H. P. 
Fessenden. Scores follow:
