Elmer E. Shaner, Manager 
THE INTERSTATE ASSOCIATION 
219 Coltart Avenue Pittsburgh, Pa. 
Newmanstown cPa.) Gun Club. 
The seventh annual registered tournament of the 
Newmanstown Gun Club on May 24 was a great success, 
•considering the threatening weather. High professional 
honors were won by J. M. Hawkins with 102 out of 105. 
Darkness set in on the professionals and they did not 
shoot the full program, making way for the amateur 
guns. Hawkins had a run of 59 straight. Neaf Apgar 
finished second with 101 to his credit, and had an un¬ 
finished run of 56 to honor him. Sked and Hassam tied 
on 97 for third. Lloyd R. Lewis was managing the 
shoot, but was taken sick and was succeeded by A. A. 
Fink, of Reading. 
Forty gunners faced the traps. High amateur was 
A. J. Mengel, the Mohinton, Pa., crack, with 144. Mengel 
has won many a match in numerous competitions 
throughout the State. W. E. Daub, of Minnesota, an- 
■other gamester, won second with one target less than 
Mengel. H. E. Buckwalter and E. H. Adams, of Read¬ 
ing, divided third with 142. 
Bucky kept them guessing to-day. Ed. showed them 
that he was still in form, even if he didn’t compete at 
the recent state shoot. Mengel had a run of 58, and 
Daub one of 56 straight. Adams one of 42 and Behm one 
of 41; Heil one of 46. Shoop, of Harrisburg, shot a 
very creditable race, with 138. 
John L. Englert, of Catasauqua, must have had a 
whole rooster to-day when he smashed 139. “Very hon¬ 
orable, John.” 
John G. Martin, present State champion wing shot 
■of Harrisburg, Pa,, went below his average to-day. Last 
week he honored in every team race in at the State 
shoot. Oh, those dark days, John. 
C. H. Newcomb could not reach the topnotch to-day. 
■“Some flies on my gun to-day, boys.” 
R. J. Budd, the Lykens crack shot, landed 133, a little 
lower than usual. E. T. Sobers, the heavy-weight of 
Bethlehem, of the “Dandelion Garden” of the East, 
landed 115, showing the boys he is still with them. H. 
P. Stapleton, who was laid down for four weeks with 
typhoid fever, shot well with 114 to his credit. Ambrose 
Mayer, the oldest contestant on the grounds, shot well. 
C, E. Seidel, of Marysville, was out of form to-day, and 
fell down to 120. Anderson, Bucky, Ziegler, Weinert 
and Yingst, the Royersford squad, showed some ex¬ 
cellent form. Bucky shot straight in four events. John 
C. Bitterling, of Allentown, showed some marksmanship 
to-day. He never dropped below 12 to-day in any event. 
Good for John. He touched them all. 
A. S. Heil, the amateur double champion of the 
United States, was some shy to-day, dropping down to 
138 out of his quota. It’s a shame, Al. I wpnder what 
Louis will say. 
Billy Werth, the Lebanon crack shot, was out of the 
game for some time, but showed the boys that he can still 
break them. Melchior, the South End Gun Club coacher, 
could not land among the topnotchers to-day, but kept 
up his usual cheery stories to the boys. E. H. Adams 
shot straight in four events, and four events with 14, 
which is very commendable. W. S. Behm, of Esterly, 
also shot straight in four events, but had 2 drops to 11. 
Too bad, Walter. 
Buster fell some shy, too. Young, of the Indian¬ 
apolis Gun Club, shot some form to-day. J. J. Marberger, 
the present county amateur champion, went down, down 
to-day. His gun is at the factory, and he used a strange 
one to-day, which accounts for his low average. Watch 
the coming events, when he gets it back, boys. Some¬ 
thing doing them. 
A. K. Ludwig, of the Hercules, could not get off 
from the P. O. Department to-day, and his chums missed 
him. 
Much credit is due to Secretary F. S. Rader for 
the success of the tournament, who worked hard for the 
last three months to make it a success. Marberger, 
Behm and Eck expect to compete at the Delaware State 
shoot. 
The fourth annual registered target shoot of the 
Royersford Gun Club will be held June 7, when quite 
a number of the Reading crack shots and boosters will 
figure. Buster says the bacon will come to Reading sure.

Mount Morris G. C. 
Mount Moekis, Ill., May 23. —Inclosed find scores 
made at our registered tournament, held yesterday, 
which was a decided success, even if the attendance was 
not as large as it would have been had the weather been 
more favorable. Many contestants were unable to come 
from neighboring cities on account of the roads being 
impassable for autos. 
Thirty-five amateurs and seven professionals shot the 
entire program, after which twenty entered for the special 
conducted under the Jack Rabbit system. Many ex¬ 
cellent scores were made, and all contestants were well 
pleased with their average. 
The originators and the promoters of the Interstate 
Association have well earned the highest compliments 
from all amateurs for that which they have done in 
modern trapshooting by assisting the country clubs.

New Jersey State Tournament. 
The New Jersey State Sportsmen’s Association will 
hold its tenth annual tournament on the grounds of the' 
Riverside Gun Club, Red Bank, N. J., on June 5, 6 and 7. 
Red Bank is situated on the North Shrewsbury River, 
with an extensive shore line along that stream lined 
with beautifully laid out grounds surrounding fine coun¬ 
try homes, the greater part of them occupied by their 
owners throughout the entire year. 
The transportation facilities of Red Bank are of llie 
very best. The express running time to and from New 
York by the New Jersey Central and Pennsylvania rail¬ 
roads is less than one hour, daily trips are made to and 
from the metropolis by a line of fine steamboats oper¬ 
ated by the Merchant Transportation Company. Trolley 
lines to all nearby towns and coast resorts afford every 
convenience for local travel. Red Bank has a permanent 
population of about 8000. The Riverside Gun Club is 
located on Shrewsbury avenue, on a slight raise, and 
directly along the line of the Red Bank and Long 
Branch trolleys, being only a few miles from the once 
famous Elkwood Park, which was the scene of the Inter¬ 
state Association’s Grand American Handicap at live 
birds in 1898. 
Attractive features of the club are the perfect sky 
background and the rolling green country beyond. The 
equipment consists of three western automatic traps. 
Neither time or expense has been spared by the 
committee in charge of the tournament to make it a 
success, both from the shooter’s standpoint and that 
of the State Association. The indications are that there 
will be a larger attendance than ever before in the 
history of the New Jersey State Sportsmen’s Association. 
For programs of the tournament and other informa¬ 
tion, address A. L. Ivins, president, 42 Broad street. Red 
Bank, N. J.
