FOREST AND STREAM 
[July 21, igo6. 
Manager Ed. O. Bower writes us as follows: “We 
should like to announce to the shooting world that the 
second annual target tournament of the West Virginia 
Gun Club will be held on their grounds at Paden Park, 
Sistersville, W. Ya., on Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 
12 and 13. Added money and prizes. Programme ready 
for the mail Aug. 20. For further information address 
the manager.” 
The Montclair, N. J., Gun Club announces a mid¬ 
summer tournament, to be held on July 21. The pro¬ 
gramme consists of five merchandise events, three silver 
prizes each, in the forenoon; and three merchandise 
events, five silver prizes each, in the afternoon. A 
special event is the 10-man team race between Newton, 
N. J., arid Montclair. A handsome silver prize will be 
awarded to high gun in this event. Practice will com¬ 
mence at 9:30; competition at 10 o’clock. 
» 
From the Shooting Times, we take the following: 
“Although clay bird shooting does not appear to greatly 
increase in popularity, there is, we think, a good time 
coming for this kind of sport. It is a pastime favored 
by . Royalty, and the doings of the King of Spain at the 
Isle of Wight Club recently created a good deal of public 
interest. Should the Spurious Sports Bill pass, as does 
not appear so very improbable, sooner or later, then there 
will be nothing left for live-bird shooters but to take 
'to firing at inanimate objects, and in that case there 
will be a great increase in the number of these clubs, 
and far more life infused into the sport. Those clubs 
which are now in flourishing existence will be the first 
to feel the impulse and benefit by the change; so they 
would do well to keep pegging along, and not relax 
their efforts to strengthen their ranks.” 
The programme of the Indians’ eighth annual tourna¬ 
ment and pow-wow has $1,C00 added in cash. The tourna¬ 
ment will be held at Parkersburg, W. Ya.,' Aug. 7-10. 
There will be $20 for each of the ten high guns, and 
$10 each for the next twenty high guns. Three cups of 
equal value will be awarded for the three highest aver¬ 
ages as follows: 94 per cent, and over, 88 to 94 per cent, 
tinder 88 per cent. The cup donated by the Canadian 
Indians goes to highest average. For each of the first 
three days the programme consists of ten 20-target events, 
$2 entrance, $20 added. All cups and trophies will be 
subject to contest on the fourth day unless otherwise 
decided by the management after the first day’s pro¬ 
gramme. The grounds will be open for practice on Aug. 
O. Shooting each day will commence at 9 o’clock. Class 
shooting. Shells shipped, prepaid, care of Mallory Bros., 
Parkersburg, will be delivered on the grounds. The 
Mallory Bros, cup, value $250, is open to competition by 
all participants of the annual tournament. The pro¬ 
gramme is illustrated with portraits of the . tribal mem¬ 
bers, and of the members who have passed to the happy 
hunting grounds. For programmes, address Mallory 
Brothers.

South Framingham Gun Club. 
South Framingham, Mass., July 13.—Owing to busi¬ 
ness, I have not had time to attend to the sporting 
papers in regard to our July 4 shoot, and as I have 
been requested by a number of shooters from out of town 
to have it published in your paper, 1 have taken it from 
a paper who had a representative there, to save time. 
F. P. PIewins. 
The South Framingham’s third annual Fourth of July 
shoot, though a success in every way. was prevented from 
being a record-breaking affair by the meanest kind of 
weather. At the time udien shooters from a distance 
must make their start, the outlook was the worst, with 
rain by the bucketful and a wind that threatened to up¬ 
root trees. Toward noon it brightened up considerably, 
and interfered but little with the actual festivities. Yet 
the damage was done, and many stayed at home, who, 
under ordinary circumstances, would surely have been at 
the shoot. The officers and members of the club worked 
indefatigably for the success of the shoot, and must feel 
that their efforts were rewardedd to the full, that sixty 
shooters should assemble when the weather was sd in¬ 
auspicious. The spacious club house was tastily decorated 
in appropriate patriotic manner, and large flags hung to 
the breeze from each end. Ample space was reserved 
for serving the lunch, and lady friends of the South 
Framingham Gun Club served the lunch in that appetiz¬ 
ing way that feminine hands alone can do. 
The office work was handled by Mr. Grant, who took 
care of score tables in the usual careful manner that has 
characterized the previous annuals. Messrs. Raymond, 
Shillaber, Trouty and others assisted with refereeing, 
score sheets, etc., while Messrs. Rice and Kevins 
sprinted here, there and elsewhere, as occasion necessi¬ 
tated, the former being able to sprint a little livelier, as 
nature has endow'ed him with a belt line a trifle nearer 
the ideal sprinter’s waist measurement. 
Two sets of traps, Sergeant system, with lever pulls. 
kept things moving, and good-sized platforms at each 
shooting stand made the footing for shooters dry and 
stable, no matter how heavy the showers. The programme 
called for ten events of 15 targets each, and numerous 
extra events were shot before and after the programme. 
Fifty dollars was divided into six high average prizes 
of $10, $S, $13, $4 and $2, and two team prizes of $10 and 
$5. Buffalo won first high on 131, .with Kirkwood with 
13(3 declining. Roy and Gleason divided second on 130. 
Woodward, 129, won third; Iwerke and Gifford divided 
fourth. Comer, Buckman and Hebbard fifth. I. E. 
Isham sixth. The 
• Watertown Gun Club won 
first team 
prize, and the 
second. Scores

Columbus Gun Club. 
The fish, frog and spring chicken dinner given by the 
Columbus Gun Club, Wednesday evening, July 11. will 
long be remembered by the sportsmen who participated 
as a particularly interesting affair, at which every man 
present did his part to make it a “pleasant meeting.” 
The artists of scatter gun and rifle began to arrive at 
1:30 P. M., and all kinds of transportation, except air 
ships, brought the boys to the grounds. A. Fieid said 
lie would rather have the “white team” than an "air 
ship.” Fred Shattuck and \V. N. Darby were elected 
captains to choose up teams, and at once began on 
the 50-bird race, in which W. N. Darby’s team came out 
the winners, scoring 270 points against 259 points made 
by the opposing team. The race was shot in strings of 
10 birds each, A. G. Field breaking the only 10 straight 
in the race. Mr. Arthur DuBray was a most welcome 
guest of A. G. Field. 
Captain Bogar, H. C. Crtimm and F. E. Herbert made 
some fine scores on the big rifle range. The weather 
was ideal, and dinner was served at (3:45 P. M., on the 
big front porch on the second floor, out in the open. 
The new “disappearing targets” will never be able to get 
out of sight faster than did the fish, frog and spring 
chicken.

The Saturday afternoon shoot, July 14. at the Columbus 
Gun Club brought out a large attendance of shotgun 
and rifle shooters. The presence of Mr. Rollo Heikes 
and Mr. John R. Taylor, the experts, added much in¬ 
terest. Mr. Heikes shoots his new shotgun in splendid 
form, and is a great favorite with the sportsmen every¬ 
where. Mr. Taylor cleverly demonstrates what his 
ammunition will do. 
Mr. Heikes broke 48 out of 50 in the Hunter Arms 
Co. race, and Mr. Taylor broke 48 out of 50 in the 
Peters Cartridge Co. race. Geo. B. Buchanan was high 
for Peters Cartridge Co. shoot, with 40 out of 50. Mr. 
Baker has been having his stock straightened, and did 
splendid work with it. 
The rifle shooters for long range are to have a meeting 
at the club house Wednesday evening, July 18, to form 
a permanent long range rifle team and start on team 
shooting at once.
