[July 7, 1906. 
North Dakota State Sportsmen’s Ass’n. 
Fargo, N. D.—The twelfth annual tournament of the 
North Dakota State Sportsmen’s Association brought 
together in competition a fair number of the best 
amateur trapshooters of North Dakota and Minnesota. 
The attendannce was less than expected, owing to 
other conventions and meetings of various kinds being 
held elsewhere the same week. 
There were forty-nine shooters entered each day, al- 
though only 
twenty- 
■eight 
took 
part 
in all 
events. 
The scores 
the 
first 
day were as follows:

server, was 30 miles per hour. The second day the 
velocity of the wind was 24 miles per hour.

evening of the first day, a large number of sportsmen 
took part. Speeches were made bv Hon. Thomas A. 
Marshall, Mr. J. L. D. Morrison, Mr. H. C. Hirschy, 
Mr. James Collins and several of the Association 
members. 
All advocated united effort on the part of the Associ¬ 
ation toward securing better game laws. The pre¬ 
vailing sentiment of the meeting was strongly against 
allowing spring shooting.

1907 annual meeting and tournament. The following 
officers were unanimously elected: President, George 
Watson, Bismarck; First Vice-President, R. W. Main.

WESTERN TRAP. 
Cincinnati, 0., Gun Club. 
June 30 was a hot day, but there was breeze enough to 
temper the heat-a little and make it bearable. Two 100- 
target races were shot, besides the practice events. Gam- 
bell has so far recovered from his broken ribs as to be 
able to shoot a little, but is off yet. Charlie Young 
stopped off here for a day or two on his way to Mil¬ 
waukee. Of course, he headed the list, with Fultz a 
close second. The members are beginning to talk of 
the Eastern Handicap at Philadelphia, and John Falk 
and Horace Bonser have signified their intention of at¬ 
tending. Falk also has the Denver tournament on his 
list. To-day’s scores: 
No. 1, 100 targets: 
Fultz .

Rolla O. Heikes and Mrs. Heikes have gone to- St. 
Clair Flats, Mich., where they will spend the summer. 
“Pop” has laid aside the shotgun for a while, and will 
exchange the sport of target smashing for that of bass 
fishing. Before the season is over, he will try his hand 
at muscalonge fishing. 
Michael J. Schwind, of Dayton, has just gotten his 
new 12-gauge gun. It is a beauty, and fits him to perfec¬ 
tion. His scores at the trap ought to climb a little now. 
The woods around Dayton are alive with young squir¬ 
rels, giving promise of fine sport when the season opens, 
a couple of months later. 
Garfield Gun Club. 
Chicago, June 23.—The appended scores were made 
on our grounds to-day, on the occasion of the third 
trophy shoot of the second series. In the club trophy 
event, McDonald and Eaton tied in Class A on 23. 
George won Class B on 23 and Herr won Class C on l9. 
In the DuPont cup shoot at 15 singles, W. Einfeldt 
won in Class A on 15 straight. George won in B on 14. 
Herr won in C on 13. After these events were closed, 
George and Einfeldt captained teams formed by choos¬ 
ing sides, and Einfeldt’s team won by four targets. The 
day was a fine one for target shooting, being cool, and 
but little wind, and a fairly good crowd showed up for 
the occasion. Kuss and Cop, two old-time members of 
the club, but who have been practically out of the target 
shooting game for a year or two, came out and demon¬ 
strated that they could still hit ’em. 
June 30.—The appended scores were made on our 
grounds to-day, on the occasion of the fourth trophy 
shoot of the second series. “In the club trophy event, 
Dr. Reynolds won in Class A on 21. George in class B 
on 20, and Herr in class C on 8. In the DuPont cup 
shoot, Kampp won in Class A on 14; George won in 
Class B on 13; Herr won in class C on 8. 
The day was a delightful one for target shooting so 
far as weather conditions were concerned, being nice 
and clear and cool, but a rear wind beat the targets 
down quickly, which caused a strong tendency to over¬ 
shooting, and accounts for the ragged scores made. Dr. 
Huff appeared as the latest devotee to the pump gun 
and handled it very creditably for a beginner, scoring 
quite regularly on doubles, but we must observe that 
the doctor can shoot some with any old gun.
