by other members of the club in looking after our every 
comfort. It was the most informal shoot I ever had the 
pleasure of attending. We were there under no rules, 
every one to have a good time and enjoy the day’s outing. 
If you chose to sheet a broken target it was all right; 
if you failed’ to close your gun properly and not shoot, 
that was all right; and if you failed to put a shell in your 
gun, as one brother was guilty of, you were given an¬ 
other target. We were there for each other’s pleasure 
and enjoyment, but very few of those accidents were 
noticeable. 
It was an ideal shoot for amateurs to break into faster 
company at our State tournaments; but several ad¬ 
jacent clubs failed to turn out as they should have done. 
Wilson, Wilmington, Charlotte and Raleigh clubs were 
represented. No one left the grounds without receiving 
a nice prize, consisting of the best quality of hats, um¬ 
brellas, cigars, shoes, ties, pocket knives, and others too 
numerous to mention. To take care of the poor shooters 
the ninth and tenth events were for men shooting tinder 
SO per cent, in the other eight events. 
The programme was 200 targets, divided into ten events 
of 20 targets each, with six prizes in every event. Ties 
were shot off in succeeding events. The weather condi¬ 
tions were varied, and not at all suited to good scores. 
The wind was very high at times, giving us towering 
targets. Drizzling rain interspersed some of the events; 
cloudy most of the day, with just a small glimpse of old 
Sol occasionally. 
Taking it all in all, it was not a good day for record- 
breaking scores. Just as at all tournaments some one 
makes phenomenal records under adverse circumstances, 
just so to-day Emory II. Storr, the popular trade rep¬ 
resentative, won high average, scoring 191 out of 200 and 
24 out of 25 from 21yds. in an extra sweepstake event, 
giving him the fine record of over 96 per cent. His 
prize was a $5 gold piece, needed to complete his watch 
fob. He also made the longest run, 64 straight. The 
North Carolina shooters appreciated his presence, and 
his company will be the gainer by his presence. 
Jas. I. Johnson, of Raleigh, won high amateur average, 
181 out of 200. With the many other prizes won by him, 
this distinction gave him a $2,000 accident policy. 
Wm. Walls, of Wilson, was a close second with ISO. 
This gave him a nice sweater, that he will be found wear¬ 
ing at our next State tournament. 
Bud Harris, our popular host, was third with 178; he 
shot a rapid gait, and many thought he would win high 
average, but a bad break in two events threw him out. 
He made the longest run for the amateurs, 54 straight. 
When half the events were finished, ’ we were inter¬ 
rupted by our kind friends and requested to repair to 
the sumptuous feast, prepared as they know the art. No 
one was afraid to eat too much, well knowing every 
one present would be on an equal footing in the final 
events; but just as fine records were made after the feast 
as before, exploding the theory that a full stomach makes 
a lazy shooter. Following are the scores for the dav, 
shooting at 200 targets: Storr 191, Johnson 181, Walls 180, 
Harris 178, Sims 174, Barnes 162, Litting 162, Ellington 
159, Gowan 152, Tony 151, D. Daughtridge 134, Killette 
131, Abrams 117, Thurman 102, G. Sims 79 out of 100, 
M. Daughtridge 45. out of 60. R. T. Gowan. 
Riverside Gun Club. 
Utica, N. Y., July 4. —The holiday shooting tournament 
of the Riverside Gun Club was a gratifying success, 
bringing together more than forty sportsmen from vari¬ 
ous parts of the State. While the rain delayed the sport 
somewhat in the morning, about 4,500 birds were thrown 
in the different events, and all present had an enjoyable 
day of trapshooting. W. E. Corfield, of this city, was 
practically in a class all by himself, winning the bulk of 
the cash prizes and finishing first by a good margin over 
all competitors except one—Jack Fanning, one of the 
world’s noted professional marksmen, with whom he was 
tied. Among the visitors present was the genial J. H. 
Briggs, of the Winchester Arms Co., who acted as ref¬ 
eree for the club. The tournament was in charge of E. 
J. Loughlin, while Windsor A. Martin acted as cashier 
and compiler of scores. The next club shoot will be held 
July 20.
