m. 
The next shoot at the Hudson Gun Club, Jersey 
City, N. J., will be held on April 20. All shooters are

The Interstate Association Tournament Committee 
has appointed G. V. Dering, Columbus, Wis.; J. Ed. 
Cain, Dayton, O.; C. H. Newcomb, Philadelphia, Pa.; 
Harvey Dixon, Oronogo, Mo.; and F. M. Edwards, 
Columbus, (X, a committee to allot handicaps to en¬

•I 
Elmer E. Shaner, Tournament Manager, Interstate 
-Association, writes: “We have this day received a tele¬ 
gram from W. F. MacCandless, Secretary N. C. R. 
Gun Club, Dayton, G., reading as follows: ‘Barely 
escaped. Dayton will hold Grand American Handicap 
on regular dates.’ This indicates that there will be no 
change in place or dates for holding this year’s Grand 
.•\merican Handicap.” 
H 
The Northern Kentucky Gun Club, Dayton, Ky., 
has decided to call ofl the registered shoot scheduled 
for May 7 and 8 changing the dates to -Aug. 7 and 8. 
This action was thought best, owing to the damage 
caused by the flood, as the house and grounds can 
hardly be gotten into first class shape in time for the 
Afay dates. The program planned is a liberal one, and 
should attract a good crowd. 
•• 
The Oneonta Fi=h, Game and Gun Club will hold 
it.s annual tournament June 7, the .Saturday preceding 
the State shoot, held at Buffalo, June 10, 11 and 12. 
The club has recently reorganized with a membership 
of about 125 members. A new club house has been 
erected. Two sets of traps will be in operation, and as 
this is a registered tournament, a large gathering of 
shooters is expected. Club grounds are situated on line 
of trolley road and can be reached in a ten minute ride 
from the city. 
The grand opening shoot of the Little Falls Gun Club 
(L. F. A. A.), will be held Saturday, April 26. The pro¬ 
gram will consist of nine events—eight at 20 targets, 
$1.40 entrance each, and one (No. 9) at 25 targets for 
merchandise prizes, $1 entrance. Money will be divided 
Rose system, 5, 3, 2, 1. Interstate rules to govern. Tar¬ 
gets, 2 cents each. Ten dollars to be divided between 
the three high amateurs shooting the entire program, 
divided 50, 30, 20. Standard loads of shells for sale. 
Shooting will commence at 10:30 A. M. Lunch will be 
served on the grounds at reasonable prices. Train leaves 
Jersey City, Greenwood Lake Division of the Erie, at 
9:08 A- M. Take trolley direct to the grounds. From 
Paterson, take Little Falls trolley direct to the grounds.

Philadelphia Trapshooters’ League 
Philadelphia, Pa., April 5.—As the interclub tour¬ 
nament nears an end it becomes more and more evi¬ 
dent that Du Pont Gun Club will take away the crown 
from the Dentists. Although to-day’s matches were a 
win for S. S. Whites and for Du Pont, the Wilmington 
high-speed merchants still are one up, and that means 
an almost sure win, with a possibility of a tie—seemingly 
a most remote chance. Such team work and enthus’asm 
as the Brandywine aerosaucer specialists have exhibited 
during the League meets seldom goes unrewarded, and 
while I hate to say, “I told you so,” reference to the 
“Driver and Twister” column at the beginning of the 
tournament will reveal my prognostication, that Du Pont 
looked like pennant bearers—Johnny Mc(Iraw, please 
ivrite. Yesterday Du Pont beat Highland by 50 scalers, 
458 to 408; Whites beat Camden by 48—439 to 391: Meadow 
Springs trimmed Lansdale by 28 rocks—149 to 421; Clear- 
view’ beat Glen Willow by only 16—434 to 418. Thus far 
Du Pont has broken 34 more clay plates than has the 
dental outfit, w'ho are 49 breaks ahead of Meadow 
.Springs. Du Pont leads by one point. White and Meadow 
Springs are tie for place. The number of targets broken 
and points scored are as follows:

39, Alueller 30, Bowers 42, Freed 37, Dalton 36, Harkins 
36, Landis 39, Tansey 43. 
In addition to the above scores, there were five who 
shot along, but who were not eligible to compete in the 
team race, either through non-membership cr for other 
causes. These were: Edward Banks 45, Carl F. Moore, 
of Pittsburgh, Pa., 41; W. Reissner 40; R. King 38, and 
F. King 30. 
In accordance with the custom of the club, three 
silver souvenir spoons were put up for competition, 
Lewis class system, and the fortunate winners were: 
I). J. Dougherty, J. J. Alagahern, and W. F. Jensen, 
Dougherty, A. B. Richardson and Henry Winchester tied 
for the Class A spoon cn 47 each. The tie was de¬ 
cided by a roll off on the “indicator,” and Dougherty 
won. E. Raymond, J. J. Magahern, J. W. Anderson, Jr., 
and C. E. Springer tied for the second spoon on 39, and 
on the "roll off” Magahern won. W. F. Jensen and R. 
F. Willis tied on 33 for the third spoon, and Jensen won 
on the roll of the wheel. 
After the close of the shoot, some practice scores 
were shot, several members of the club joining in a 
100-target race. High gun was Edward Banks, who 
ran 81 straight during the afternoon, and finished his 
last string with 97 out of ICO, and a grand total of 142 
out of 150 for the afternoon. 
Whites—Camden. 
Philadelphia, April 5.—S. S. Whiles easily beat 
Camden to-day, the score being 439 to 391. It took 42 
for anv of the Whites to qualify, and of those who did, 
AlcKcan, Howard George, Charley Newcomb and Abbott 
each made 45, with three other Whites having 44. Scores: 
Wilmington, Del., April 5.—There was a great gath¬ 
ering of trapshooters to-day at the grounds of the Du 
Pont Gun Club when the home team beat Highland Gun 
Club, of Philadelphia and cinched a tie for first place 
in the Philadelphia Trapshooters’ League. Should the 
local team win the last match of the series, the match 
against the Meadow Springs Gun Club, of Philadelphia, 
next month, the trapshooting pennant belongs to the 
Du Pont Gun Club. And the worst they can get is a 
tie. 
The scores in yesterday’s match were 408 for High¬ 
land, 458 for the home team, a total remarkable under 
the circumstances, as the wind blew hard alt the time. 
.Sixty-six du Ponters put in an appearance, while 
twenty-two came to defend Highland. 
Gniy one straight score of 25 was made in the team 
race, that by Henry Winchester. 
'The Du Pont team total showed three 47s, three 4fls, 
three 45s and one 44. For the Highlands there were only 
two 43s for high, while a single 38 found a place. The 
team scores were:
