Herington Tournament. 
Herington, Kans., May 18.— The sixteenth annual tournament 
of the Kansas State Sportsmen's Association closed m this city 
to-day after one of the most successful meets the Association has 
ever held. The programme covered four days, three days devoted 
to clay birds and the last day to live birds. The arrangements, 
under direction of the Herington Gun Club, proved most satis- 
factory to the visiting shooters, and the popularity of the programme 
is attested by the large number of shooters remaining for the 
entire programme. ' , u -a 
The first day's programme included nine regular events beside 
the Peters special race of lOO birds for an $80 gun. A high, gusty 
wind was productive of deceiving targets, and consequent low 
scores. Heer was high professional for this day with 11 down 
out of a possible 150, and Arnold, of Kansas, was high amateur 
gun with 12 misses. Arnold won the Peters special event. 
The weather for the second day's programme was ideal, and the 
scores were consequently better. Heej was high gun among the 
professionals again with 172 out of 1/5. Veatch, Nebraska, tied 
him with the same score. A special by the Marlin Company for 
a Maflin gun was won by B. Johnson with a score of 49 out of a 
^°V«atch Nebraska, successfully defended his title to the Elliott 
cup against Arnold, Kansas, by 94 out of the 100 to 92 for 
Arnold. r 4.1. 
The third day's programme was specially interesting tor the 
event of 50 birds that carried the trophy representing the amateur 
championship of Kansas. Arnold, Larned, and Munsterman, 
Antelope, tied for first place, with 48 each out of 50 In the 
shoot-of? Arnold captured the honors. The Herington Gun Club 
gave a handsome trophy for this event in the shape of a diamond- 
mounted charm. , , , ■ , t_ 
High averages for the third day's shoot were carried off by 
Heer, professional, 171 out of 175, while O'Brien and Veach tied 
for first place in the amateur section with 168 each. 
The Association selected Great Bend as the next tournament 
town and left the dates and details to the club holding the shoot. 
The following officers were elected for the ensuing term: Presi- 
dent, E. W. Arnold; Vice-President, R. McMullm; Secretary 
and Treasurer, Ed. L. Chapman. c , u 
The Herington meet closed with a day of live-bird shooting, 
but threatening weather and a reduced number of shooters pre- 
vented this portion of the programme from being as interesting 
as the first three days. ^ , . r . ^ n 
The averages for the first three days of the tournament, all 
clay bird events, were as follows:

Through the courtesy of the Winchester Repeating Arms Co., 
the shoot was cashiered by Mr. Fred Whitney, who is so popular 
among the shooters of the West, and whose work in this line 
.r.lways gives perfect satisfaction to all concerned. 
In all something over sixty shooters were entered during the 
tournam'ent, but in the averages here given, however, only the 
scores of those finishing the entire three days' programme are

The Canadian Indians. 
The following has been sent to us by a correspondent, and is 
of special interest to sportsmen: , , „, . . , 
At a pow-wow held at the Queen's Hotel, Toronto, it was de- 
icided to institute a Society to be known as "The Canadian In- 
dians " For several years the devotees of the gun, resident in the 
United States, have had a band known as "The Indians" which 
was composed of the foremost shots of that country. For some 
iime past the formation of a similar organization in Canada has 
been contemplated, and its success is now an assured fact. 
The general objects and purposes of the society are: 
1 Promoting and fostering legitimate shooting interests. 
2' Promoting good fellowship among its members. 
3. Giving and promoting shooting tournaments, as may be 
determined by the Association. 
4. Doing all acts necessary and proper to carry out the purposes 
of the Association. , „ , 
Those present in person at the pow-wow, and those who 
'iiKnified in writing their intention of joining, were as follows: 
Forest H Conover, Leamington, Ont. ; D. McMackin, Highgate, 
Ont • Geo. W. McGill, Thomas A. Duff, T. D. McGaw, F. W. 
Matthews, J. H. Thompson, Geo. L. Vivian, Charles H. Harrison, 
Aid Robert Fleming, Geo. Wolf, Alex. Wolf, and J. W. Sander- 
son' Toronto; D. J. Kearney and W. H. Ewmg, Montreal; C. G. 
Thompson, T. M. Craig, and J. H, Goodhue, Sherbfoolje, P. Q.^ 
I. A. Honey and E. G. White, Ottawa; H. Marlatt, Simcoe, Ont.; 
Dr. Hunt, Walter P. Thompson, Thomas Upton, Dr. J. E. Over- 
holt and John Hunter, Hamilton; S. M. Screaton, London; Wil- 
liam Lewis, Owen Sound, Ont.; W. A. Smith, Kingsville, Ont.; 
P. Wakefield; Toronto Junction, Ont.; C. J. Mitchell, Brantford; 
J. E. Cantelon, Clinton, Ont.; W. E. Hall, Blenheim, Ont.; Geo. 
S. McCall, Fingal, Ont.; and H. A. Mallory, Drayton, Ont. 
The annual fee was fixed at $5; the membership limited to 
forty, and each applicant must pass a unanimous ballot. 
To be eligible to membership in the Canadian Indians it is 
necessary that one be a true devotee of the art of trapshooting ; 
it is desirable, though not requisite, that he be a good shot; but 
it is absolutely essential that he be a good fellow and a gentleman 
throughout. The keynote of the organization is absolute fair- 
ness in everything, as between one chief and another, and in all 
relationship of the tribe as a whole with the outside world. 
Each member of the tribe shall be given an Indian name, with 
the designation of chief. These names will be chosen by the 
council of chiefs at the next meeting. The Chief Scribe was 
also instructed to procure a suitable emblem. 
The following are the first officers: Forest PI. Conover, High 
Chief; D. McMackan, Vice-Chief; Thomas A. Duff, Chief Scribe 
and Chief of Wampum, while the Council of Chiefs is composed 
of Messrs. Geo. \V. McGill, Ed. C. White, F. A. Heney, Thomas 
Upton, J. B. Goodhue and S. M. Screaton. The Initiatory Com- 
mittee will be appointed at the next meeting, which is to be held 
at Ottawa on Aug. 17, the second day of the annual tournament 
of the Dominion of Canada Trapshooting and Game Protective 
Association. 
Applications for membership must be in writing, signed by 
two Indians and accompanied by the fee of $5, which will be 
returned in case the applicant is rejected. The Chief Scribe will 
present the names of the tribe in the order in which they are 
received. 
The Association starts under most favorable auspices, and is 
bound to be a success.

Faifview Towrnament. 
Fairview, N. J., May 25.— There was a good attendance at the 
tournament of the Fairview Gun Club, held to-day. A number of 
noted experts joined in the competition. Distinguished trade 
representatives were present as follows: Messrs. Frank Lawrence, 
F. E. Butler and A. A. Schoverling. The former did not shoot, 
the Mr. Lawrence in the competition being a different party. Mr. 
Butler was out of order, and consequently affected his scores. 
Ihe merchandise event was the main contest, and as in all 
similar events, the contestants were difficult to handicap from . 
their irregular performance. The experts, Messrs. Bissett, Piercy, 
Truax. Brugmann and Dr. Guenther, had the shortest allowances, 
from 3 to 5 in 50. 
the shooting was rather difficult, owing chiefly to a fluky wind, 
which was strong enough to affect the flight of the targets, and to 
the bad behavior of the magautrap, which broke targets in a 
manner to equal the breaks of the ordinary contestant. 
The tournament was managed by Mr. Herman Von Lengerke. 
Refreshments were generously served to the shooters as guests of 
the club. The weather was clear, warm and pleasant. The 
giounds are but a short distance from the trolley line; therefore, 
are conveniently accessible. Shooting continued till late in the 
afternoon. No. 3 was at 10 singles and 5 pairs. Mr. Carl Von 
Lengerke shot under the name of Dr. Sergeant. The scores
