FOREST AND STREAM 
[July 14, 1906. 
find a permanent resting place in the blue waters of the 
lake. 
There is no question in the minds of the Denver people 
if this shoot is the success they anticipate, the G. A. H. 
will be held here next season. 
An extra $1,000 has been set aside to go to the ama¬ 
teur class. All amateurs shooting through the pro¬ 
gramme and not lucky enough to win their entrance 
money, will get it back, minus the cost of targets. This 
gives all shooters the privilege of having good sport with 
very little cost. They will be out of pocket the price 
of targets only. 
Four hundred dollars will be invested in silver trophies, 
and they will be practical, useful prizes. No loving 
cups will be given, for while “a thing of beauty is a 
joy forever,” in this utilitarian period men prefer a 
full ice-water pitcher in their den to an empty loving 
cup (or one filled with dust). 
The Albany Hotel will be headquarters for the shooters, 
and more than five hundred are expected. 
A Social Tramp. 
Bradford Gun Club. 
Bradford, Pa , June 28.—The Bradford Gun Club 
drew two very pleasant days for their two-day tournament 
on June 26 and 27, and the events paid well and every 
one was paid promptly. 
Luther J. Squier was high professional, and Kelsey 
high amateur. Professionals present were Luther J. 
Squier, W. J. McMannis, J. Mowell Hawkins, H. H. 
Stevens, W. P. Fessenden, Sim Glover, and last, but 
not least, was Charles G. Grubb’s brother, who took 
his place and many a shooter shook his hand and thought 
he was Charlie. 
The Bradford Gun Club expects to give another shoot 
this fall, and will try and make it pleasant for all comers. 
Attached you will find scores for the two days’ shoot:

Jacksonville’s July 4, Tournament. 
Jacksonville, Ill., July 4. —The ever glorious was fully 
celebrated by the members of the gun club and their 
friends to-day at their beautiful home in Nicholas Park. 
Fourth of July shoots are, as a rule, to be discour¬ 
aged, as shooters have some business that calls them 
elsewhere on this day we celebrate; but the popularity 
of Messrs. Scott, Groves, Masters, Hobbits, Jewsbery, 
Riley, Goebel and others was exemplified when there 
were twenty-three shooters present, most of whom shot 
the entire programme through. Weather was fine— 
bright, with slight wind. The targets were thrown too 
high, much higher than the rules provide for, yet on the 
whole, the shooters were satisfied, because they made 
very excellent scores. 
R. R. Barber, now tourning Illinois, took delight in 
smashing up things and burned his “Fourth of July” 
powder to a good purpose. He passed the 100 mark 
without a skip. Then starting for the last 75, he lost 
the fourth one, which ducked, and thus came off with a 
run of 103. He made a skip of his fourth target in the 
following event, and then went out straight, another run 
of 56. The secretary informs the scribe that this is the 
ground record. 
He shot the same Lefever gun that he used in making 
the famous scores last year when he won two handi¬ 
caps—the same four-leafed clover is still in the stock. 
Well, it is true that he could not eradicate cutting ex¬ 
cept with a new stock. 
H. H. Vietmeyer was present, and shot well with the 
single barrel gun. Billy Stannard came down with 
Viet from the Windy City, by the Lake Side, and 
though shooting very well with his favorite Dupont 
powder, still took his hat off to Barber on this lovely 
day • 
While this was going on, and all present were wonder¬ 
ing if Barber never would miss, there was plenty of 
excitement in the amateur class. Clay, Baggerman and 
Selzer, of St. Louis, were having a hot race, with 
Rupert, of Decatur; Pearn. of Ashland; Riley, of 
Bloomington, and Ramsey, of Manito. 
Others shot well for at least half the events, and then 
fell away slightly. 
Clay and Baggerman shot out first, to catch a train, 
and as Clay only missed one out of his last 95, he was 
only down six for the day. Baggerman made 162, and 
both went for old St. Louis, pleased with their outing. 
After their departure then came Mr. Pearn. who had 
lost only 5 up to the last event, and a straight would 
beat Clay. He failed, and by the loss of two gave Clay 
the gold medal and the first average. 
Mr. Riley started his last event with only 7 missed, 
and there was more anxiety on the part of all present. 
He missed 3, and made third average with 165. 
Mr. J. C. Ramsey, of Manito, finished strong, and 
was for the first time shooting an autoloading. 
A. L. Cummings was present and did the office work, 
while John Groves assisted in the management. 
Yes, Gilbert was present, just “Dad” Gilbert, who has 
shot hereabouts for the past forty years, and he had 
good cheer in plenty. Scores:

Rocky Mount, N. C.—The grounds are admirably 
located for trapshooting, as well as for taking care of 
the personal pleasures of the visitors, being on the out¬ 
skirts of one of the most progressive towns in eastern 
Carolina. Adjacent is one of the best appointed places 
to hold a barbecue, for which old Nash county is famed. 
Col. Anthony will never know what a fine treat he has 
missed by absenting himself. While not as many were 
in attendance as expected, no one left without expressing 
himself in the warmest terms of the hospitality of Bud 
Harris and Dave Daughtridge. They were ably assisted
