FOREST AND STREAM 
[Aug. 25 , 1906 . 
308 
The daily press gives conspicuous mention of the shoot¬ 
ing performances of the Spanish King, Alphonso, while 
participating in the competition of the Isle of Wight Gun 
Club, Aug. 19, an incident of his visit in England. He 
won a cup, defeating seventeen contestants. That’s all. 
The score is not given, but it is a fair presumption that 
his win was due to good shooting and better courtesy 
combined. 
V> 
The Lake Okoboji shoot, to be held at Arnold’s Park, 
la., Sept. 4-6, has an attractive programme, of which $250 
in averages is a feature. There is a like programme of 
twelve regular events each day, eight at 15 and four at 
20 targets, $1.50 and $2 entrance. The Arnold’s Park 
Hotel cup, a special handicap event St 50 targets, is 
open to all. Shooting each day will commence at 9 
O’clock. Class shooting. Guns, etc., shipped, prepaid, 
care of the managers, Messrs. Budd & M hitney, will be 
delivered on the grounds free. Sept. 3 is practice day. 
At the fifth regular tournament of the Monongahela 
Valley Sportsman’s League, held at Jacksonburg, 1\ . \ a., 
Aug. 16, the Dupont trophy, emblematic of the five-man 
team League championship, was won for the month by 
the Jacksonburg team, with a score of 83 out of 100. 
The League individual championship was won by Mr. 
W. L. Beals, of Jacksonburg, with a score of 19 out of 
20. Mr. J. R. Taylor made high professional average, 
191 out of 200. Mr. W. A. Wiedebusch, of Fairmont, was 
high amateur, 184 out of 200 .

Secretary Fred Shatt'uck writes us as follows: “Ar¬ 
rangements for the fall tournament of the Columbus, O., 
Gun Club, Sept. 13 and 14, are progressing rapidly. 
Programmes will be mailed to shooters on Sept. 1. 
One hundred and twenty-five dollars added money, and 
$100 merchandise added averages. We have set the 
pace for 100 entries or better. A unique feature of this 
shoot will be a game dinner the first day, and a chowder 
and fish dinner on the second day. Shooting will begin 
at 9:30 A. M. each day. But entry list will be held open 
until 11 A. M., ’the first day.”

In a recent issue, the Shooting Times publishes the 
following: “We have never felt very keen on partaking 
of hare at a foreign restaurant, as we have often been 
told that ‘lievre a la chasseur’ is not always what it 
seems. We are confirmed in this suspicion by learning 
that two women in Mussen (Germany) have just been 
fined 15s. each for killing cats and selling them as hares.” 
This goes to show that the so-called beef trust may have 
secured some progressive ideas from foreign methods. 
It also goes to show that the sentiment concerning the 
delicacy of hare as a viand is a pretense. 
Capt. James R. Malone, Pennsylvania avenue and Clif¬ 
ton street, Baltimore, Md., writes us that a day of 
additional shooting has been added to his tournament, 
so that now the dates are Aug. 27-31, inclusive. The last 
day will be devoted to live-bird shooting, of which the 
main event will be at 20 birds, $10 entrance, handicaps 
25 to 33yds., open to all. Miss and outs, $2 entrance, will 
follow the main event. A special feature of the last day 
will be the long-pending shoot-off between Messrs. Ed. 
Banks and Lester German, 100 targets, for the Wawaset 
trophy. There also will be a 6 -man team contest, 100 
targets per man, between Maryland and Delaware. The 
members of the tournament committee are Mesrs. H. E. 
Lupus, L. J. Squier, J. W. Chew, Joe Hunter and the 
manager, Capt. James R. Malone. The tournament will 
be held at Betterton, Md., situated about 30 miles from 
Baltimore, a pleasant resort on Chesapeake Bay. Two 
steamboat lines make daily trips to it from Baltimore, two 
boats from Philadelphia daily, and there also is a line 
from Port Deposit and Havre de Grace. The programme 
can be obtained on application to Capt. Malone.

Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., Aug. 18. —Some of us just couldn’t 
stay away to-day, and in regulating the trap in many 
events the targets were thrown full G5yds. 
Brewerton was on hand, but could not shoot, owing 
to a badly inflamed eye, caused by an exploding primer. 
We welcomed to-day Messrs. F. Wilson and C. Brower, 
two new men at the traps from over Hawthorn way.

Monongahela Valley Sportsman’s League. 
Jacksonburg, W. Va., Aug. 16.—The fifth regular 
monthly tournament of the Monongahela Valley Sports¬ 
man’s League of West Virginia was held here to-day 
under the auspices of the Jacksonburg Gun Club, and 
attracted a crpwd of twenty-five shooters, nearly all of 
whom are members of clubs belonging to the League. 
The weather conditions were fair after the first two 
events, during which the rain fell briskly, and some fair 
scores were made. 
The Dupont trophy, emblematic of the five-man team 
championship of the League was won for the month by 
tlie team of the Jacksonburg Gun Club with a score of 
83 out of 100, only one other League club (Fairmont 
Gun Club) being represented by a team. 
The League individual championship gold medal was 
won by W. L. Beals, of the Jacksonburg Gun Club, with 
a score of 19 out of 20 . 
Mr. J. R. Taylor made the high score for the day, with 
191 out of 200 . 
Mr. Wiedebusch, of Fairmont, was high amateur, with 
1S4 out of 200 . 
The four point buck deer offered by the club as a 
special prize was won by Dr. Keifer, of the Jacksonburg 
Gun Club. 
Mr. Leon Nash lent his genial personality and able 
assistance to the management during the tournament and 
was thoroughly appreciated, especially by the ladies pres¬ 
ent, while as an umbrella holder, Dupont Taylor was 
easily the star of the occasion. The scores:

Columbus, O., Gun Club. 
The Columbus, O., Gun Club had a splendid tourna¬ 
ment, with ideal weather conditions and a large attend¬ 
ance from Chillicothe, Circleville, Millersport, Centerberg, 
Dayton, Plilliard, Greenville, Wilmington, Asheville and 
other cities. The six-man team race between Chillicothe, 
Circleville and Columbus, was won by the gunners from 
Circleville, with E. M. Stout as captain, making 250 out 
of 300. Columbus broke 249 and Chillicothe 244. The 
teams were quite evenly matched. The first high amateur 
for the day was won by that prince of good fellows, Mr. 
Lee Bottenfield, of Centerburg, O., with 183 out of 200. 
Second high amateur was won by Mr. Cromley, of Ashe¬ 
ville, O., and third high by our Mr. Wm. Fishinger, of 
Milliards, O. First high professional average was won 
by Mr. John R. Taylor, with 194 out of 200. 
Dinner was served in the club dining room at 12:30, 
where the shooters did excellent work. The complete¬ 
ness and splendid adaptability of our club ground for 
large tournaments was much commented on by visiting 
shooters, and it is safe to say that the great two days’ 
tournament, Sept. 13 and 14, now in preparation, with 
an elegant game dinner on the 13th and a fish and 
clam chowder dinner on the 14th, will bring a crowd that 
will be a record-breaker. 
Mr. F. de B. White, of St. Louis, acted as cashier of 
the shoot, and everything went along in fine shape.

Aquidneck Gun Club. 
Newport, R. I. — Of the many attractions of carnival 
week, last but not least on Aug. 10 and 11 was the two- 
day tournament of the Aquidneck Gun Club, which was 
held under very poor weather conditions. A drizzling 
easterly storm a greater part of the first day made it a 
hard game to go up against. 
The grounds face directly east, and not one of the 
boys could appreciate the fact that it rained. But on 
the second day the conditions were much better. A 
light southern wind blew. The weather prophet was 
trying to make up for lost time. In spite of the variable 
weather, some good scores were made: 
The trade was well represented by J. M. Hawkins, J. 
Boa, G. Wheeler, J. S. Fanning, O. R. Dickey, A. 
Sibley. 
The winners for the first day were: Dr. E. F. Glea¬ 
son, of Boston, high average (the Doctor also won in 
the class shoot with 94% per cent., which was more 
than going, as he had a very bad shoulder); second, 
E. C. Griffith; third, J. M. Woodward and S. Hibbard, 
tied; fourth, R. M. Robb and J. Derby, tied. 
There were many other creditable scores made, which ' 
did not take prizes,’ as the shooting was class shooting, 
from 70 to 95 per cent, or better. 
The winners for the second day were: J. McArdle, 
high average: H. Kirkwood, second (both of these gen¬ 
tlemen won in class work; McArdle’s 95 per cent, was 
getting a move on some); S. Hibbard, third; Carver, 
fourth; C. Hughes, fifth. 
The boys pronounced the shoot a Success. 
Events 7, 8 and 9 of Aug. 11 were a sweepstake team 
race. There were but twoo teams, Aquidneck and 
Middlesex. The race was won by the home team. Fol¬ 
lowing are the scores:
