LEADER.” SHELLS, 
his score being 89 out of 100 targets shot from the 
19-yard mark. High general average was won by W. 
R. Crosby, also using Winchester “Leader” Shells. 
This tournament, held at Los Angeles, Sept. 8, 9, 10, 
was the last of the series given this year by the Inter¬ 
state Association, which included the Southern, Grand 
American, Eastern, Western and Pacific Coast Handi¬ 
caps. The principal event in four out of these five tourn¬ 
aments was won with Winchester shells; and in the 
Eastern Handicap Tournament, the Preliminary Handi¬ 
cap and Professional and Amateur Averages were won 
with Winchester shells. Altogether it was a grand 
“scoop” for Winchester. This is something more than 
mere chance, don’t you think so? It proclaims with 
trumpet sound the incomparable, always-to-be-relied- 
upon quality of Winchester shells, and leaves all other 
makes far in the shade.

Rising Sun Tournament. 
Rising Sun, Md., Sept. 29.—The sixth annual tourna¬ 
ment of Cecil County, Md., held under the auspices of the 
Rising Sun Gun Club, with two days at targets, proved 
a grand success under the personal management of 
the hustling trade representative, Lin Wirthington. The 
weather was bad. A continuuous rain the first day kept 
the attendance down, and the high wind was against 
good scores the second day. 
The pay back system again proved its popularity. 
Those who did not win their entrance were repaid by the 
management, with a margin left for the treasurer. 
The boys had a fine race on in both classes. 
The professionals were well bunched all the time, but 
Hawkins led the entire field by one target. In the ama¬ 
teur class a battle was on from start to finish with 
Ressler, Watt, Andrews and England, all together; but 
Capt. Nat Ressler, the popular crack shot of Lebanon, 
Pa., managed to pull out ahead with 1 target to the good 
in Tuesday’s programme. Only 4 targets separated the 
first four shooters, and much interest was shown. 
Capt. Tim Malone, of Baltimore, was present the 
second day and did splendid work. State champion Bow¬ 
man found plenty of company the second day also. 
The Cecil county championship brought out a good 
field and Capt. A. B. Keene and Hartenshine tied on 
42 out of 50. In the shoot-off Hartinstine won by 1 
target. 
The programme was finished in plenty of time for the 
boys to catch trains, with a hearty handshake and thank 
offering to the management, Lin R. Wirthington and 
A. B. Keene. 
The visitors were well satisfied with their treatment, 
and all showed themselves a good lot of sports. 
Capt. Nat Ressler was very busy working up interest in 
the fall tournament at Lebanon, and the boys from 
here will turn out en masse to his two days’ shoot.

Stanley Gun Club. 
The annual meeting of the Stanley Gun Club, of 
Toronto, was held last evening at the King Edward 
Hotel. There was a large attendance of the members, and 
a good deal of enthusiasm with regard to the prospects 
for the coming year was shown. The report of the 
secretary-treasurer showed the affairs of the club to be 
in an excellent financial condition. 
During the year some thirteen hundred dollars was 
expended in fitting up the club’s grounds, which are 
second to none in Canada. 
It was decided to hold the annual pigeon shoot, open 
to club members only, some time during the latter part of 
November or early in December. 
There was also the probability that a one-day tourna¬ 
ment at targets will be held, and the club’s delegates 
to the City of Toronto Trapshooting League were in¬ 
structed to confer with the other clubs in regard thereto. 
The consensus of opinion was that the shoot should be 
open to city league clubs only, and the targets trapped 
at one cent each. Valuable prizes would be offered, and 
probably no entrance fee charged. 
The Stanley club has had a most successful year in 
every way, and great regret was expressed at the retire¬ 
ment of Messrs. J. H. Thompson and .Thomas A. Duff, 
from the offices of president and secretary-treasurer. 
Election of officers resulted as follows: Hon. presi¬ 
dent, W. II. Pearson, Jr.; president. Geo. W. McGill; 
vice-president, W. T. Ely; secretary-treasurer, Geo. M. 
Dunk; field captain. Robt. Buchanan; executive com¬ 
mittee, Messrs. A. E. Edkins, Thomas A. Duff, J. H- 
Thompson, Alderman Robert Flefmng and J. T. Mas- 
singham. A. D. 
Aquidneck Gun Club Tournament. 
Newpopt. R. I., Sept. 29.—At the grounds of the 
Aquidneck Gun Club there was a good gathering of 
shooting talent. Some corking good scores were made. 
Th.e trade was well represented by Elliott, commonly 
known as Sunny Jim (properly named); Stevens, as 
genial as ever; the same Jack Fanning, and last, but 
nor least. Gill Wheeler. Elliott made high average- 
good work, James. 
There was some rather hot work among the amateurs. 
Griffith made high amateur average; McArdle second. 
Events 1, 2, 3, from scratch, first, Powell; second, 
Griffith; third, McArdle and W. Hughes, Hughes win¬ 
ning out. Events 4, 5. 6, handicap of added birds: 
First, Letendre; second, McArdle; third, Griffith. Griff 
seemed bound to get in trouble all the time. 
Events 7, 8, 9, were to have been a team race, but the 
boys could not gather enough for this occasion. Better 
luck next time. 
The shoot was a success in every way. Birds good, 
easy breakers, although at times the wind made them 
jump a little. Scores:
