Hartford G. C 
Hartford, Conn., Sept. 1.—“She has went,” as little 
Alice said. That is, the last tournament of the Trap- 
shooters’ League was held at Hartford on Labor Day, 
Sept. 1, over sixty of New England’s “dyed-in-the-wool” 
trapshooters taking part, and the day was all we could 
ask for. We wore naturally somewhat disappointed at 
the small number of shooters, but other attractions, no 
doubt, kept many away. The shoot was started promptly 
at 9 A. M., and with three sets of traps, the events were 
run off rapidly and smoothly, no hitch occurring to mar 
the sport However, a tricky wind later in the day 
made the targets rather erratic. This, no doubt, ac¬ 
counted for the somewhat lower scores than usual. 
The prize list consisted of $375 in cash and merchan¬ 
dise, so that every shooter received something. S. W. 
Putnam, the Massachusetts crack, and A. L. Chamber¬ 
lin, of New Haven, tied for high gun. On the shoot-oft 
Putnam won with a straight score of 25 to Chamberlin’s 
23. Dr. C. C. Smith, of New Haven, was third. • 
In the team race, New Haven team No. 1 was high 
with 441, followed closely by Hartford with 440. Boston 
Paleface team was third with 438. The Bridgeport No. 1 
team and the second New Haven team were tied for 
fourth place with 433. 
In the special event. L. H. Bradley took first prize 
of $20, with a score of 24 out of 25, and E A. Staples 
and J. L. Snow tied for second with 23 each. 
A. L. Chamberlin, of New Haven, who was seriously 
ill during the year, was able to attend the last three 
tournaments and shot well enough to win the Du Pont 
Connecticut amateur trophy. He certainly did great 
v.'ork, considering his long illness. 
This being the last tournament of the Western Con¬ 
necticut Trapshooters’ League, naturally a great deal of 
interest was manifested in the disposition of the League 
trophies. A mighty pretty race between L. C. Wilson, 
of Bridgeport, and E. W. Mumford, of Hartford, during 
the season, for the Parker Bros, trophy, resulted in a win 
for Mr. Wilson, with a score of 836 out of 900 targets, 
E. W. Mumford having onlv 2 less, 834. S. P. Senior, 
C. W. Van Stone, L. H. Bradley were next in order, 
the Liberty Cartridge trophy was won by S. P. Senior 
with a splendid run of 104, which, by the way, is the 
record amateur long run of Connecticut. 
E. W. Mumford won the trophy given by the Con¬ 
necticut Trapshooters’ League for high score in the team 
racing. Mr. Mumford also won the Stevens Arms Co. 
trophy, his score of 467 out of 500 targets. C. Van Stone 
won the Hercules Powder Co.’s trophy after a spirited 
shoot-off with L. H. Bradley and E. G. Southey. 
Special mention should be made of the splendid work 
of the Bridgeport Team No. 1 during the season, having 
won five out of six shoots and averaging nearly 92 per 
cent, as a team. We fancy that it would be mighty 
difficult to find a better team anywhere in the country. 
This has been the best season the Western Connec¬ 
ticut Trapshooters’ League has ever had, and the excep¬ 
tionally fine scores shot by the high guns of this League 
prove that in no part of the country are there more 
crack amateurs. The uniformly high attendance and 
splendid weather show how we have been favored. The 
banner attendance was at Danbury. 131 shooters taking 
part; Bethel with nearly 100 was second; New Haven, 
Bridgeport, Hartford and Long Hill ranging from 75 to 
65 shooters. Considering the number of shooters in at¬ 
tendance in other parts of the country, Connecticut 
certainly takes first place, and the next season bids fair 
to be fully as successful.

man du Pont gun, and six for the Marlin. The winners 
of these guns will be determined at the end of eight
