The Zettler Annual. 
The Zettler Rifle Club, of this city, has fixed the dates for its 
annual outdoor prize shoot. This will be held in Union Hill Park, 
New Jersey, Sept. 27 and 28. The club’s president, Gus Zimmer- 
man, with his farhily, is now in Europe, and the club did not 
wish to hold its annual festival until his return. So far as his 
friends have heard, Mr. Zimmermann has not been doing as 
niuch rifle shooting as usual while abroad, evidently because no 
important matches have been held over there so far.

In the 5-man team race, held on July 13, the second day of 
Malone’s eleventh annual summer tournament, the Baltimore

At the Interstate Association tournament, given for the Menom- 
inee, Mich., Gun Club, July 12-13, a special incident was the 
breaking of 100 targets by a squad of five, the members of which 
were Messrs. Hirschy, Crosby, Host, Kaufman and Loud. Each 
made a 20-straight. Mr. H. Hammersmith won the League 
[July 22, 1905. 
championship event with a straight 25. The amateur general 
average was won by Mr. Guy Deering with 380; second, Mr. W. 
H. Schultze, 374; third, Mr. A. Molle, 371. Professionals, Messrs. 
H. C. Hirschy and W. R. Crosby tied for first with 391; second, 
Mr. C. A. Young, 387; third, Mr. R. O. Heikes, 386. 
We have heard some gossip concerning the short flight of the 
targets at the recent G. A. H. To settle the matter, we wrote 
concerning it to Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, the Secretary-Manager of 
the Interstate Association, and he replied as follows: “The targets 
in the recent Grand American Handicap contest were thrown as 
near to 50yds. as possible to do so, and this applies to all five 
sets of traps. Each morning I went down the line with Mr. Clark, 
Superintendent of the Indianapolis Gun Club grounds, and saw to 
it that all traps were set to throw the regulation 50yds., and this 
means 50 measured yards — no guesswork about it, I have always 
been a firm advocate of a 50yd. target (when others have ad- 
vocated 40 to 45yds.), and I am quite sure that I would have 
noticed it if the targets were short of the regulation distance.” 
n 
The fifth annual tournament of the Dominion of Canada Trap- 
shooting and Game Protective Association, Aug 16-18, has a 
voluminous programme. On the first day there are ten events, 
of which nine are at 20 targets, $2 entrance; the tenth is at 
50 targets, $1 entrance, for the individual championship of 
Canada. The programme for the second day is similar, except 
event 10, at 50 targets, is the Grand Canadian Handicap, and 
event 11 is the 2-man team championship. The third day is also 
similar in nine 20-target events; the tenth is the Mail trophy 
5- man team event; the eleventh is the 8 -man team championship. 
The corresponding 20-target events each day, that is No. 1 of 
the first. No. 1 of the second. No. 1 of the third day, and so on, 
constitute 60-target events, which have trophy prizes. There 
are high averages each day. Shooting begins at 9 o’clock. The 
competition is open to Canadian amateurs, who are members of 
an affiliated gun club. Targets, 2 cents. Agents and non-mem- 
bers, “targets only.” Rose system. Surplus moneys added. 
Guns, ammunition, etc., forward express prepaid to Geo. Easdale, 
care Ketchum & Co., Ottawa, Ont., will be delivered on the 
grounds free. Reduced rates over many roads, all enumerated 
in programme, for which address the Secretary, George Easdale.

Manning Two Day Toufnament. 
Manning, la., July 15.- — The Manning Tournament was a de- 
cided success. The attendance was large, far beyond the ex- 
pectations of every one who was here. 
Manning is favored by good railroad facilities, is centrally lo- 
cated and has good hotel accommodations. The management of 
the shoot is mure than pleased with the attendance and assures 
the shooters that they will put up a better programme next year 
for their annual tournament. 
Professional shooters here were F. H. Lord, from La Grange, 
111.; Mr. Borden, of Lincoln, and W. A. Waddington.

present at our shoot, such as Harry Taylor, of Meckling, South 
Dakota Railroad; Barber, winner of the Grand American Handi- 
cap, from Paullina, la.; Russell Kline and John Burmeister, of

Lawrence Gun Club. 
r y, invitation shoot of the Lawrence 
Grun Uub’ held at the club grounds July 4, proved very interest- 
ing to the few gunners and frjends that assembled at the club 
1 ■*- he fact that It is considered a misdemeanor to shoot 
an eagle, or the fact that the game warden was present, was the 
only thing that spared a few of these honored birds from the 
guns of the baked clay smashers; but later in the afternoon the 
music from their band drifting across the field on the light 
breeze, added a new charm to this finest of American sports 
and a most enjoyable afternoon was spent in spite of the in- 
vCllSc IIcHl* 
A toespasser was discovered crossing the grounds in the form 
nl ^1 was hotly pursued by the captain, seized 
by the tail and hurled into that vast blue vault above, when lo! a 
report froni the president’s gun and the green form vanished 
into the endless blue even unto eternity, much to the amazement 
ot the spectators. 
The first prize was easily captured by Dr. Niles, of Davers. 
1 he treasurer of the club, Hamel, succeeded, after borrowing the 
president s- gun, in making good for second place, thereby most 
graciously - according third place to the president.
