Virginia Trapshoofers' Tournament. 
The fourteenth annual tournament of the Virginia 
Trapshoofers’ Association was held over the grounds of 
the Roanoke Gun Club, Roanoke, Va., on Sept. 1, 2 and 
3, the shoot being a two-day affair, but by reason of the 
fact of the large list of entries the same had to be car¬ 
ried over and concluded on Wednesday, the 3d. 
Never in the history of the Virginia Trapshoofers’ 
Association has a tournament met with such success 
from a point of attendance as the tournament just con¬ 
cluded. Heretofore an attendance of eighty-five was con¬ 
sidered good, and seldom has the attendance exceeded 
this number. In the tournament just held, 117 men 
faced the traps, the attendance on the first day being 110 
and on the second day 103. 
The high professional score went to Homer Clark, of 
the Western Cartridge Co., who broke the entire pro¬ 
gram of 200 targets on the first day and had a long run 
of 215. The high amateur score went to A. M. Llatcher, 
of Bristol, Va., with a break of 340 out of 350 shot at. 
The Du Pont trophy, which was put into competition 
for the first time at the tournament just concluded, was 
won by A. M. Hatcher. The cup race contested for by 
teams of five men from the various gun clubs went to 
the Bristol (Va.) Team, with 231 out of 250, with the 
Staunton (Va.) team second, and two Roanoke (Va.) 
teams third. 
The individual championship of Virginia, which was 
held by Dr. L. G. Richards, of Roanoke, went to P. 
Gallagher of Portsmouth, with 97 out of 100. R. L. 
Pierce, of Wytheville, tied Gallagher with 97, but in the 
shoot-off Gallagher won with 24 out of 25, while the best 
Pierce could do was 21. 
Too much credit cannot be given to Lloyd Lewis and 
S. S. Scholl, of the Du Pont Powder Co.. Lloyd Lewis 
taking care of the office in the most efficient manner, 
while Scholl kept the score sheets written up and posted. 
Much credit is also due Frank Jones, H. C. Elliott, W. 
S. Jones and A. H. LI. Boyd, who were engaged dur¬ 
ing the entire shoot in making the same a success. 
The scores made by the respective shooters are as fol¬

Hendersonville (N. C.) G. C. 
The sixth and final shoot for the Dupont trophy by 
the members of the Hendersonville (N. C.) Gun Club 
was held on Labor Day and was most interesting. 
Eleven men entered the contest which began on July 31, 
and seven men finished on Labor Day. During the six 
weekly shoots which comprised the contest, C. S. 
Chisolm, Walter Reese and J. H. Ripley kept well to¬ 
gether. 
At the beginning of the final shoot, Reese and Ripley 
were tied for first place, with Chisolm three targets be¬ 
hind them. Reese had a streak of hard luck, only 
breaking 19 of his 25, but "dusting” nearly all of his 
lost birds. Ripley dropped enough targets to tie Chisolm 
for first place. In the shoot-off at 25 targets, Ripley 
broke 19 and Chisolm 23. 
C. S. Chisolm, the winner, is a young man from 
Charleston, S. C.. but spends his summers in Hender¬ 
sonville. He is very popu.ar with his many friends, and 
the writer warns the amateur trapshoofers to keep their 
eye on Chisolm, as he is certainly a “comer.’’ 
Our weekly shoots will be continued throughout the 
season every Thursday afternoon, as interest is decidedly 
on the increase. Our grounds are nicely located, only 
one mile from the center of town, and only one minute’s 
walk from the trolley. Chas. E. Moore. 
Greenwich G. C. 
Greenwich Conn., Sept. 6.—The weather was very 
threatening and the crowd much smaller than expected. 
It was a big day for Offutt, who took nearly everything 
but the club house. Still a better man couldn’t have won 
them. J. H. Finch won the event at 12 pairs for a silver 
cup with 21. The silver plaque for long run was won 
by Z. C. Offutt with 5S. vino also won the high amateur 
cup and the Greenwich special miss-and-out with a score 
of 2S straight. The two-man team match was won by 
Offutt and Martin. Scores:
