Springfield (Mass.) Shooting Cltib* 
What promised to be the largest trapshooting tournament ever 
held in New Etmland was somewhat marred by the wet weather 
of Labor Day, Sept. 4. However, seventy water-proof advocates 
of the scatter gun attended the tournament of this club, held on 
their grounds at Red House Crossing. While the forenoon was 
very moist, it cleared up during the early part of the afternoon, so 
that the extra set of traps could be put to work, after which the 
events were run off in short order. The light was very good for 
shooting, the dull gray of the background causing the targets to 
look very large, while the absence of any wind made shooting 
conditions perfect. 
I'orty-two shooters shot the tentire jjrogfammfe of 20t) targets, 26 
being in the sweeps .ail day, soinethirig unusual, at tournaments 
around hel*e this year. Dufirig the d4y seventy different shooters 
took part in the several .everits, arid 10;C40 targets were trapped, 
a record day for us. The trade was represented by J. A. R. 
Llliott and Hood Waters. If it had beeh a pleasant ddy prob- 
ably one hundred shooters would have attended. 
Among , the noted amateurs present were Batstpw, F. E. Met- 
calf and Hatry Metcalf, of Rockvine: Smitb, of Boston— he with 
the ‘guess’ tnachihe; McMullert and Arhold, of Somerville^ Conn.; 
Brest, of New London; Adanis. of Plainfield, N. J. ; Rausenhousen, 
oi Pittsfield; Mack, of New Haven; Hicks, of South Manchester; 
Head, of St. Albatls, , Vt. ; Herbert, of Boston; Finch, of Thomp- 
scnville; Bradley, of Bridgeport; Hebbard,' of Boston, and I must 
not forget to mention Schorty, of New York City. We couldn’t 
run a big shoot withont having Schorty ort hand, 
t , rnarty shooters attended was a big surprise to Us, con- 
sidering the weather. The added money add valuable rrterchandise 
prizes rniist have beert ai big attraction, to get sO rnady shooters 
out on such a dajn. The tfaps worked to perfection, .artd there 
was not a halt all day, except when the awnihg blew down on a 
Sduad of five, and there was lively hustling for d dry spot. Elliott 
broke 196. out of 200 targets, a record for the grounds. For several 
reasons the prizes got somewhat mixed; first, it was too dark to 
snoot off ties after the programme was finished; second, several 
shooters took the wroiig prize due them, caiised by the hurry 
in getting away. 
The list of winners and the prizes won by thetti will be furnished 
by the secretary, and any one having a prize that doesn’t belofig 
to him is requested to send same to its rightful owner, prepaid, 
and the secretary will remit the amount of expressage paid on 
same. As there was no other way to decide ties other than the 
club doing so, as several . shooters who were tied left before the 
programme was finished, the ties were decided by high gun system 
(drawing matches), memb.ers of the committee taking the places of 
the ^shooters tied, pfider the cirCuinstafices there was no other way 
of doing, and we bope it will be satisfactory to all.

Notes. 
Herbert, of Boston, shot fine, and lost only seven targets all day. 
Barstow . has a standing invitation for all shooters to stop and 
call on him and listen to his new graphophone. 
Le Noir shot poorly for him, dUe to the new gun he was using. 
Better stick to the pump, Fred; it will make your scores look 
nicer in print. 
Several umbrellas that were left at the club house will) be sent 
to their proper owners by notifying the Secretary and giving de- 
scription. 
“Where -n'as you when the cyclone struck?’’ was the question 
asked after the wind blew the canopy down on the shooters, and 
there was a wild scramble for the club house. 
We all missed Dr. Newton. Suppose he was eating clams at 
Greenfield, and incidentally shooting, as I noticed that he won the 
cup up there at the shoot Labor Day. Must have had something 
to wash the clams down -wdth to do such good shooting. 
Mack, of New Haven, came up to shoot with us. Said he 
couldn’t bear to have the New Haven club not represented at so 
fine a shoot, although there was a shoot on at home. 
Sept. 2. — Eighteen shooters attended the practice shoot of this 
club, held on the afternoon of Sept. 2., and in spite of the rain, 
some fair scores were made. Part of the events were shot over 
the new set of traps until the rain drove the shooters under the 
canopy of the old shooting stand. 
The tie of last shoot between Cady and Andrews for a hunting 
coat was shot off at 16 targets, Andrews winning. Score, Andrews 
13, Cady 10. 
In the prize event of this shoot, the prize being a shell case, 
there were four ties on 15 eac’n between Cady, Snow, Andrews and 
Bagg. On Ihe shoot off at 10 targets, Andrews and Cady again 
tied on 10, and on the shoot-off of this tie Andrews won. Score, 
Andrews 9, Cady 4. 
The Peters cup contest and the merchandise race have one more 
.slioot to run. Added target handicap in cup event, and in the 
merchandise race the shooters are divided into three classes, 
there being three prizes up of equal value, Scores in these handh

and carried off most of the cash, as well as pretty nearly all the 
first prizes. J. Hossinger, .ff the local club, was second high 
man among_ the amateurs, with W. Edmunson in third place. 
The cashier’s department was well looked after by H. Linn 
Worthington, from Rising Sun, Md. The only other representative 
present was Mr. Edward Banks, of Wilmington, Del., who took 
first honors in the shoot, but did not participate in the purses or 
in the division of the merchandise. The scores were as follows:
