THE INTERSTATE ASSOCIATION, 
E. REED SHANER, 
the trap shooting season in Western Connecticut. 
Ridgefield is one of the summer places in Connecticut: 
some of the finest homes in the country are owned by 
the wealthiest people in New York City and they take 
a great interest in the club. 
Bridgeport sent a good delegation and made a good 
clean up “as usual” they having some of the best shoot¬ 
ers in the state. “Browney” Robertson headed the New 
Haven boys who always bring a good delegation. Dan¬ 
bury had the largest turnout, as they were instrumental 
in starting the Ridgefield Club. Geo. Hudson of Peeks- 
kill. brought over a good delegation and there were 
new faces from South Norwalk who have started a club 
headed by Mr. Lockwood, there were shooters from 
Greenwich, Mt. Kisco, Mt. Vernon and New York City. 
In the early morning it looked as if it would be an 
ideal day, but it turned out to be the worst condition 
the writer has experienced; as the wind shifted to the 
east, which sent the target skyward, and blew the smoke 
and rain in the eyes of the shooters, and only a few 
could figure out the right place to hold, and, they made 
as nice a race as has been seen in many a day. Dr. 
Martin of the New York Athletic Club, started off and 
made a run of sixty-three and was only three down on 
his eighty, with A. L. Chamberlain, of New Haven, 
four, R. D. Cate and L. C. Wilson of Bridgeport, with 
five down. In the next four events Dr. Martin and 
Chamberlain were handicapped by *heir glasses getting 
covered with rain and dropped quite a number, while 
Cate and Wilson kept up tneir gait and tied on 139— 
150; with Dr. Martin 134 and Chamberlain 135. In the 
shoot off Cate was the winner breaking 23 to Wilson 19, 
winning the Winchester trap gun. When the “simon 
pure” can beat out the “pros” it makes the amateur 
feel mighty good as “Hank” Stevens only accounted for 
138; Dr. Funk, 132; Jack Fanning, 130, and Gil Wheeler, 
121. 
The lady shooters attracted the most attention as they 
were breaking the targets as good as any of the men. 
Miss Jessie Thorpe lead them with 109; Miss Laura 
Boles, 106, and Mrs. F. F. Rodgers, 75. Mrs. Henry 
Sanford shot part of the program and made a very good 
showing as this was the only and first tournament she 
ever shot in. There were twenty-five Average Prizes, 
the high guns having the choice; those getting under 116 
were left out as that was as far as the prizes went. 
The lady shooters all received a prize. The winners in 
the first open, events 1 and 2 were Dr. Martin with 40 
straight; A. L. Chamberlain, second, with 39; L. C. 
Wilson and R. D. Cate, third and fourth, with 37. 
In the handicap, events 3 4 and 5, E. Vessey of Dan¬ 
bury and D. F. Bedient of Ridgefield tied for the 
Ithaca Gun with 58—60, they had to shoot off three times, 
Vessey winning in third shoot off giving Bedient sec¬ 
ond prize; Cate, Lyon and Borden were tied for the 
other three prizes with 56—60. 
In the last open, Wilson, won first with 49—50; Dr. 
Smith, second prize, with 47, and Cate and Southey, 
third and fourth, respectively, with 46. In the team race 
Bridgeport won with 450—500, an average of 90 per 
cent., they are a hard team to beat. 
J. Finch was high gun for the local club with 122— 
150; Cyrus Cornen, Jr., a close second with 121. The 
presence of Hal Sanford was missed who is in El Paso, 
Texas, he being the most enthusiastic member of the
