W. P. T. S. L. Tournament. 
The Western Pennsylvania Trapshooters’ League held 
a very successful tournament on the grounds of the Scott- 
dale Cun Club on Thursday, July 26. Twenty-three 
shooters took part, twenty-one of whom shot through 
the programme. 
Some creditable scores were made, and it was a pretty 
race for high honors, which was not decided until the 
last man had shot at his last target. Deniker, Calhoun 
and Matthews tied with 167 out of 180, while the rest ef 
the shooters were well bunched, there being eight out of 
the twenty-one with 160 or better. 
A Record Made. 
During the course of the tournament Squad No. 1, 
composed of H. H. Stevens, Baker, Anderson, Fleming 
and Clifford, got busy in the eleventh event and smashed 
75 out of 75 targets. The writer is pleased to say that 
none of the targets were even dusted, but were broken 
into a thousand or. more pieces, which shows that, when 
the gun is pointed right, the load will do the rest of the 
work. 
The next League tournament will be held on the 
grounds of the Enterprise Gun Club, at McKeesport, 
on Saturday, Aug. 11, instead of Thursday, the 8th, as 
before announced, and a hearty welcome is extended to 
all trapshooters. 
Through the season the League has been run on the 
payirtg back entrance fee (less targets) system, and we 
are pleased to say that we have in every tournament 
held been able to pay back all members of the League 
and still have a surplus left, which, if still left at the ena 
of the season will be divided among the low guns 
shooting throughout the entire season. 
The trade was represented by Chas. G. Grubb and 
H. FI. Stevens. 
Each event was at 15 targets:

At Monte Ne. 
Monte Ne, Ark., July 28.—There will be a fishing and 
trapshooting tournament here Sept. 3-7 next. The fish¬ 
ing tournament will be Sept. 3-5, and the trapshooting 
on Sept. 6 and 7. At the trapshooting tournament here 
in May the boys fell in love with Monte Ne, the fishing 
and the trapshooting grounds, and after the shoot was 
over they held a meeting and fixed the time and pro¬ 
gramme for both fishing and trapshooting at the dates 
adove named. 
Chris. Gottlieb, of Kansas City, will be boss fisherman, 
and Dr. P. Y. Stohecker, Wichita; Ed. O’Brien, Florence, 
Kans.; H. C. Hood, Columbus; George H. Mackie, 
Scammon,^ Kans.; John Gillespie, Kansas City; Wm. 
McBlair, St. Louis, and Harvey Dixon, of Joplin, will be 
lord high executioners to the Craw Dads. 
Jack Rabbit and Rose systems. Four moneys. Shoot¬ 
ing on both days will begin at 9 A. M. Flandicaps 15 
to 18yds. Trade representatives will shoot for targets 
only. There will be twelve events, 200 targets, in each 
day’s shooting. For a 20-target event, the entrance wi.l 
be $2; 15-target event, $1.50. 
There will be a gold medal awarded to the best fisher¬ 
man, and a gold medal to the best trapshooter. There 
will be a banquet and festivities, compliments of the 
Club House, Hotel and Cottage Company, of this place. 
There is a mountain lake and lagoon here, and a moun¬ 
tain stream fed wholly by springs, making 20,000 gallons 
of water per minute. The springs are stocked with rain¬ 
bow trout. White river is a mile and a ha f away, and 
affords splendid bass fishing. There is a float of six 
miles on White River that affords fine sport for fisher¬ 
men by using boats and floating down this distanct. 
From the end of the float back to Monte Ne is only 
three miles. The boys are anticipating a big time, and 
the attendance promises to be good. Coin Harvey. 
Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., July 27.—There was a small practice 
shoot held on the new grounds to-day. The Leggett 
trap was working fine, and some fair scores were made. 
The returns for Aug. 22 clambake and clay pigeon shoot 
show already that there will be a big turnout, and this 
is no guesswork.

The Trap Shooters' League of Lancaster County. 
Lancaster, Pa., July 28.—The Trapshooters’ League 
of Lancaster County held its fourth meeting to-day on 
the grounds of the Elizabethtown Gun Club. A pro¬ 
gramme of 235 targets was called for, including the 25- 
target League event. Two hundred and ten targets made 
up the sweepstake events, shot prior to the team race. 
Luther J. Squier, of Wilmington, Del., the crack shot, 
carried off first honors, with 176; Nat Ressler, H. Hoff¬ 
man and R. A. Cable tied for high amateur with 187 and 
divided the added money for high gun. A. C. Kreugei 
was runner-up. Neaf Apgar looked after his firm’s busi¬ 
ness. The office was in charge of the genial Doc Keen- 
ard, the club’s active secretary, and he did his work 
very satisfactorily, and was extremely prompt. 
The field was not so large as some of the other meets, 
but it was a very pleasant gathering, and the programme 
was finished in remarkably good time, in order to allow 
the participants to take in a game of baseball, to add to 
the day’s outing. 
The next shoot will be held at Lancaster on Aug. 25, 
at Rocky Spring Park. Elizabethtown won first, with 
Columbia second. 
Four teams, 5 men each, 25 targets each man: 
Elizabethtown. Columbia.
