May J2, Second Day. 
The weather conditions favored the shooters more than on the 
previous day, and there was a consequent rise in the averages. 
Mr. J. Mowell Hawkins was high in the averages for the day 
with 162 out of a possible 180. 
Second average was a tie between Messrs. J. A. R. Elliott and 
Neaf Apgar, with 157. Mr. L. S. German, of Aberdeen, Md., 
was third with 154. 
For the two days, Mr. J. Mowell Hawkins was high with a 
total of 310 out of 360. Messrs. L. S. German, 309, and A. B. 
Richardson, of Dover, Del., were second and third. 
■ Thirty-four shot through the two-day programme. The tourna- 
ment was a success, and much praise is due the hard-working 
popular committee which contributed so much to the success.

Mississippi Delta Trapshooters' League. 
VicKSBURG, Miss. — The first tournament of the Mississippi Delta 
Trapshooters' League was held under the auspices of the Vicks- 
burg. Miss., Gun Club, May 8 and 9. 
Chief interest was in the amateur competition for the cup, open 
to all shooters who were residents of Mississippi. It was won by 
the popular and efficient secretary of the Vicksburg Gun Club, 
Mr. John J. Bradfield. Previous winners were Messrs. W. J. 
Fletcher, of Vicksburg; W. H. Clements, of Rolling Fork; E. H. 
Wil son, of Natchez j C. H. W^alton, of Rolling Fork. The con- 
ditions governing it were 60 targets, two wins to constitute 
title to final possession. ' 
After Mr. Bradfield's win on the first day, it was decided to 
shoot off for ownership between the winners. The contest was at 
100 targets. Mr. Bradfield won easily, with a score of 92, his 
nearest competitor, Mr. Wilson, scoring 89. His victory was the 
occasion of much rejoicing. The presentation of the club later 
was elegantly made by Mr. Stanford N. Collier, in a witty ap- 
propriate speech in behalf of the club, which was responded to 
in feeling terms by Mr. Bradfield. Mr. George H. Hillman, in 
recognition of his valuable assistance, was presented with a 
beautiful diamond studded watch charm. Mr. Hillman responded 
in an excellent speech. The cup was filled with champagne, and 
in honor of the event, the cup passed from lip to lip. 
High professional average for the two days wos won by Mr. 
Frank Faurote, with 386 out of 400, and he made a run of loi

Boston Gun Glut* 
Boston, Mass., May lOi— The most successful series evef held 
on the Boston Gun Club grounds terminated at Wellington to-day^ 
with nineteen shooters vainly endeavoring to increase their match 
scores and throw out the poor ones maide during some of the 
past shoots. iNo one succeeded, however, and tne final result 
was the same as a week ago. 
The scoresj as a rule, were all considerably lower than has beefl 
the case for some time past, but the crowd was there fof ths 
pleasure, and little things like that did not bother a little hip 
Frank started in to beat three of a kind, but relinquished his 
hold to Dr. Gleason, who finished out for the high average. 
In the serial prize match, seven scores to count. Dr. Gleasort's 
high totals eclipsed all other etforts, aild certainly shows great 
shooting, as a 19yd. handicap is no cinch when taking all weathef 
conditions in consideration. From appearances, he was not scared 
at the look of the official handicapper's ax, and henceforth his 
efforts will be from the 21yd. line. The doctor iiltirHates that 
even that will not hold him, as he is out for business during 1909^ 
and will not rest till he has quite a fair number of trapshootiflg 
scalps hanging from his belt. 
Burns, the winner of second prize, deserves great credit for the 
persistent way he attended all shoots, and was the leader from the 
first, till the last three shoots, when the B. A. A. representative 
stepped in with some straight scores which were just too much 
of a handicap to overcome. Next series, Burns says, may tell 
another story, but an additional 2yd. handicap is expected, and 
this may hurt just a little. 
O. R. Dickey's win of third was one of the most popular of the 
eight lucky shooters, as "Dick" has a host of well wishers in 
this section that are more than pleased when the "old reliable" 
shows his top-notch form. Twenty-one yards looks big to the 
most of us, but in the majority of cases it was like giving a 
donkey strawberries to give him a 45yd. target. Just as big as 
baskets was his idea on one particular occasion, and his 93 per 
cent, showed that there certainly was something doing. 
_ The club's own representative, Frank, took care of fourth posi- 
tion, a slightly lower average than usual, caused by a change in 
guns, which seems to always have a bad effect on a trapshooter. 
From now on, however, something has got to bust, and it must 
be the targets and nothing else. 
Ford, the "Fiz Fiz" man, captured a subscription to a well- 
known sporting journal, and expects now to keep abreast of the 
times, eveii though his own time is pretty well taken up, with 
the exception of his Wednesday afternoons, which Ford would 
not miss from a farm down East. 
Capt. Woodrufl'j the original Boston Gun Clubite, thought that 
sixth place was just to his liking, as he needed the hunting ax 
to break some of these modern targets that his 7% was useless 
on, but which have to be handled as carefully as eggs. 
The Watertown representative, "Roy," had the pleasure of 
beating his old friend, John Bell, and wears a smile that won't 
come off, and is now seen round town, apparently as deaf as an 
adder; but talk trapshooting to him, and out comes a brand- 
new pair of ear drum protectors which he claims rightly belong 
to his trusty gun and load. 
John Bell, the winner of the eighth and last prize, has for quite 
a time been complaining of the bunching and leading of his 
"fusee," so> behooved himself to smoke up and win the anti-rust 
wicks, which are guaranteed to cure his complaint. John's 
prayers evidently struck home, as only one target separated him 
from the object of his search and nothing. Scores of to-day's 
shoot as follows:
