Notth Carolina Trapshooters* Association. 
The second annual tournament of the North Carolina Trap- 
shloters' Associa don was held at Burham, N. C, June 14 and 15 
1^° nassed into history for the trapshooters of this State. It

Walter Huff and J. Mowell Hawkins were tied for high profes- 
sional average. J. W. Hightower was second high professional, 
with Emory ^torf third; 
The trade representatives present and participating were Emory 
H. Storr, J. W. Hightower, Col. J. T. Anthony, J. Mowell 
Hawkins, Walter Huff, H. K. Eliyson and R. W. Sampson. 
The missionaries present were E. W. Sanford and H. M. ban- 
ders, both of whom made themselves useful in assisting in gettmg 
out squads, refereeing and scoring. In fact, they were handy 
at most anything. . . , i ■ i 
A beautiful silver loving GUp was given to the high professional 
average, which was tied by Walter Huff and J. Mowell Hawkins. 
I did not learn how they divided the cup. It would be of very 
little Use in that shape. For second high professional average 
$5 in gold went to J. W. Hightower. 
A beautiful silver loving cup went to Mr. Collirts for high ama- 
teur average, and it will be highly prized by him for years to 
come, and will be a useful cup when his grandchildren grow up. 
Wilson, N. C, will get the next Trapshooters' Association 
tournament. This is one of the livest little towns in the State, 
and every one that goes will have a fine time. Mr. R. E. Craw- 
ford, the proprietor of the best hotel in the city will see that you 
are comfortably entertained while in his care. He is a member 
of the club, and one of the best shots. Killett, Walls, Simms 
and Jimmv Barnes won't let you suffer. The following officers 
were elected for the next tournament: W. W. Simms, President, 
and Selby H. Anderson, Secretary and Treasurer. 
Sixty shooters faced the trap at this tournament, and 
most of them shot through the programme both days. _ _ 
The following States were represented: Georgia, Virginia, 
South Carolina, Maryland and Tennessee. 
At the last annual Trapshooters' Association of Virginia a 
silver trophy was given by the Peters Cartridge Co., to be con- 
tested for annually by ten men each from Virginia and North 
Carolina, alternating from one State to another every year._ Last 
year it was contested for in Richmond, Va., and the Virginia 
team won by two targets. This year they were equally as de- 
termined to carry it back with them, so they brought their best 
shots over, and had an easier walk-over than last year, winning 
by 29 targets. The scores were Virginia 893, North Carolina 864. 
The team scores were: ,. , 
Virginia— Hatcher 96, Jenkins 82, L. Wmefree 91, English 91, 
Br. iDennis 83, Smith 95, Funk 83, Hammond 89, Pearce 94, Br.

North" Carolina— Crayton 87, Killett 87, Todd 84, McCollough 
91, G. Lyon 85, Johnson 91, Anthony 81, Anderson 90, Wall 86, 
Webb 82. , r , 
The chamoionship. of North Carolina was contested for on the 
last day and' placed after the regular events were through. About 
twenty entries contested. Mr. J. E. Crayton won by scoring 98 
out of 100 shots. With the championship goes a beautiful loving 
cup, given by Mr. George Lyon to the Raleigh Gun Club, and 
has been won by Mr. W. P. Whitaker, scoring 93; the next year 
by George Lyon, scoring 96. This is the second year it was given 
for the championship of the State. Last year a medal was, given 
and won by W. T. McCorraick, of the Charlotte Club. This cup 
will become the property of the one winning it twice in succession. 
After the State Association was formed, the Raleigh Club turned 
H over to them for the championship prize. 
Everybody has heard of the game of "flinch." Some of the 
shooters were playing this popular game during both days of the 
toi.rnament, much against their wishes.

R. T. GowAN. 
Boston Gt*n Club, 
BcsTON, Mass., June 14. — The regular weekly Boston Gun Club 
shoo twas held at Wellington to-day, twenty shooters in all doing 
justice to the eleven events. 
T. E. Boremus was a most welcome visitor, and while not 
shooting anywhere near up to form, soon wore a "smile that won't 
come off" in view of the large amount of his company's products 
that were being used. 
Mayor Reed, of Manchester, N. H., brought down his "trusty 
fusee and peppered away during all the events, with good results, 
his final efforts on the 23yd. mark being to him the most satis- 
factory. 
Secretary Hallam, of the Bover Sportsmen's Association, could 
not bear the thoughts of coming to Boston on a Wednesday 
without doing a few shooting stunts; therefore, after business 
completed a trip to Wellington had to follow. 
An afternoon with the boys is what our friend B. W. calls it,, and 
most assuredly he seems to derive as much enjoyment as any one 
does, and that is saying a good deal. 
Br. Ellis, of the B. A. A. had an easy win in the prize match, 
his 27 being three targets to the good of Ford, who led the other 
B. A. A. representative one target. In the race for high average, 
Gleason, however, turned the tables, though it was nip-and-tuck 
up to the last event. Other scores:

Consecutive break match: Bickey 39, Frank 25, Gleason 18. 
June 7. — The second shoot of the current series was held at 
Wellington to-day with eleven shooters on hand for the ten events. 
Black, with 28, easily led in the prize match, and a few more 
similar scores would go a long way toward the first prize, and 
give the regulars a pace that it would be hard to keep up with. 
Gleason and Worthing, the latter with a new gun, captured 
second position, and also fought it out for high average, the 
advantage being: with the latter when totals were summed up. 
The consecutive match got another boost to-day, Bickey's 39 
topping Smith's previous high run of 8 targets. Others expect 
to run it up still higher within the next few shoots, so we are 
anxiously waiting to see just what the mark, will be at the end 
of the series. Other scores:
