Pacific Indians. 
Eugene, Oregon, July 1.—The three-day shoot of the 
Pacific Indians ended on the 28th of June and was at¬ 
tended by a goodly company of lovers of the game. 
As early as a week previous, some of the boys who 
could spare a little time began to arrive, attracted by 
the famous fishing in the Willamette and McKenzie 
rivers; and the more fortunate who got this extra enjoy¬ 
ment out of the annual meet, came in with strings of 
the beautiful “red sides” that made the other fellows 
wish that they as well, with all the world, “might 
a-fishing go.” 
By the 23d a goodly bunch had gathered in the 
hotels, and every train dropped its recruits unto the 
second day of the meet, many visitors coming to see 
the shooting who did not even participate themselves. 
As showing appreciation of the occasion, a great 
many of the local business houses had special window 
decorations in honor of the occasion, and some of these 
were of a really high order of merit. The gun club 
and the good people of Eugene, in fact, showed in 
many ways that the Tribe made no mistake in voting to 
come here two years in succession. A finer degree of 
hospitality could not have been showed, and we are 
glad of this opportunity to say that this fact is appre¬ 
ciated by the Indians. 
Practice Work. 
Forty shooters went to the grounds Monday to “look 
down the barrels at a few,” either for the first time 
if they were new-comers, or to confirm their previous 
experience of the traps and surroundings. 
On an informal program of 100 targets, Lee Barkley 
took the most scalps, coming in with 89 at his belt. 
Right up close and leading the amateurs came Chief 
Bill Caldwell, of Portland, with 96; Hugh Poston ac¬ 
counted for 95, and Les. Reid bagged 94. Then the 
scores became pretty well bunched, but averaging well 
above 85, indicating that there would be “some shoot¬ 
ings” later in the week. 
Notes. 
“Mooch” Abraham and Dick Carlon got away early 
and made sure that the fish were still there. 
The Vancouver, B. C., squad was a jolly bunch and 
had “something doing” all the time. May we always 
have them with us. 
Frank Riehl made the longest “jump” to get here— 
all the way from the Grand American Handicap at 
Springfield, Ill., passing up the premier shooting event 
of the year in order to be in on time. 
Chiefs Haight, Holohan and Morris contributed their 
full share to the spontaneous gaiety of the week. 
As the youngest one in the game. Deskin Reid was 
there with a whole basket of beads. 
If the world has another trio who can “show” with 
A1 Cook, Ed. Bean and Doc Day as preceptors in the 
art piscatorial, we will have to be shown. 
Firs! Day. 
The shoot started promptly with sixty-five shooters 
at the score, the largest attendance yet recorded at a 
shoot of the kind on the Coast. Weather conditions 
were fine, and scores ran high for the day. Les. Reid 
got away from the bunch right at the start and finished 
with 147 alone. Lee Barkley was right after him with 
146 for the Indians, as was also Fred Moellen, bf 
Eugene, leading the palefaces. For third place B. 
Kompp, Harry Ellis and Hugh Poston tied, and then a 
long string followed with 140 or better. We are of the 
opinion, in fact, that no shoot ever before held on the 
Coast with over fifty guns on the firing line returned 
such high general scores for the day’s work. 
A new feature of very special interest was the com¬ 
petition for the solid gold honor medals, ten of which 
were offered for the ten high places each day. Ties had 
to be shot off at 50 targets, and of the ten places there 
were seven ties with two to five men in each. Over a 
thousand extra targets were shot in these special 
matches, and a large crowd of spectators watched the 
races with interest akin to that of the average crowd in 
a good turf event. This new feature was an experiment 
on the part of the tribe this year, but so eminently suc¬ 
cessful was it that we shall almost certainly make it a 
permanent feature of our annual meets. When the last 
gun was fired, the following were in possession of the 
day’s honors, and thereby barred from medal competi¬ 
tion on the following days: L. H. Reid, E. Ford, E. W. 
Cooper, J. T. Hillis. E. Abraham and Al. Cook. 
Second Day. 
Conditions were varied, and a good deal hinged on 
luck as the squads called during or between wind and 
rain showers. Scores, however, continued very high. 
Poston led the field with only one lost, Barkley losing 2 
and L. Reid 3 for the day’s work. For the palefaces, 
Frank Troech, of Vancouver, Wash., scored 145; Harry 
Ellis, of Portland, and Chas. Porter, of Vancouver, 144, 
and Percy Knight, of Portland, 143. 
For the day’s ten medals the winners proved to be 
Barkley, B. Romp, F. Troeh, L. M. Fisher, Percy 
Knight, F. Van Atta, TIarry Gilchrist, Bill Caldwell, 
Peter Holohan, Dr. Bull. Again there were ties in six 
of the ten places, these being shot off in a driving rain 
at 50 targets each, affording' much entertainment for 
visitors on the grounds. 
The annual meeting of the Tribe was held on the 
evening of the _ 26th at Hotel Osburn, there being 
twenty-three Indians in attendance. 
Conditions governing the Chingren challenge trophy 
were changed to make it a straight race at 100 single 
targets, all contestants standing at 18yds. rise. 
Bids for the 1913 meeting were received, backed by 
substantial money offers, from Boise, Idaho, Eugene, 
Ore., and Raymond, Wash. A close ballot resulted in 
favor of Raymond. Special votes of thanks were voted 
to Boise for its generous bid and to Eugene for this 
third offer to entertain the organization, as well as for 
the magnificent entertainment accorded as at this and 
the last annual meet. 
New officers elected are: E. A. Bean, Eugene, Pres¬ 
ident; Geo. IT. Smith, Eugene, First Vice-Chief; D. W. 
Riehl, of Tacoma, Herald-Custodian. 
New members elected to the Council of Chiefs are: 
C. A. Porter, Dr. A. R. Baker, Al. Field, Vancouver, 
B. C.; J. A. Dague, Tacoma; Harry Gilchrist, Cen- 
tralia; Fred Sturgis, Raymond, Wash.; W. A. Simonton, 
San Francisco; Con. Dillon, Dr. F. M. Day, Fred 
Moellen, James Seavey and Dr. M. M. Bull, Eugene, 
Ore.- Albert Zierolf, Junction City, Ore.; Chas. Dier- 
lein, Eugene; Webster Kincaid, Eugene; W. W. Mc¬ 
Cormack, Eugene; C. E. Wilson, Raymond, Wash., and 
D. C. Reid, Seattle, Wash. 
Third Day. 
The third day’s work held right up to the high 
standard, and what is remarkable in a tournament these 
days the attendance was larger on the last day than 
the first. Throughout the week, the comment was that 
it was a most successful, satisfactory and well-managed 
meet, and it is believed that every participant went 
away more than well pleased. 
.p°2? or me ,dals on this day’s program went to D. 
D. W. Fleet, Fred Willett, Tohn Edmunson, Frank 
Rmh , Ed. Morriss, Chas. Porter, Chas. Dierling and 
Trank Howe. 
The annual competition at the Chingren challenge 
medal brought twenty-four shooters to the score. POston 
and Walt McCormack tied with 97, with Riehl, Mullen 
and Seavey second at 96, and D. Reid, Caldwell and 
Barkley third with 94. Poston won the shootoff, and 
was immediately challenged by twelve shooters. A 
second contest resulted in a victory for Fred Moellen, 
of Eugene, with the splendid score of 98 out of a 
possible 100. And so the matter rests, on the finish of 
the finest tournament ever held by the Tribe. 
The programme consisted of 150 targets each of the 
three days. Scores:

Bryden Gun Club, 
Catasauqua, Pa., July 3. —The weather for the Bry¬ 
den Gun Club's registered tournament was ideal, but the 
sun shone a 90 degree heat, which caused the boys tc 
sweat a good deal, although the firing line was pro¬ 
tected by a 12ft. wide canvas. Thirty-eight shooters were 
present—thirty-two amateurs and six professionals. A 
short recess was called at the noon hour for dinner, 
which was served gratis by the courtesy of the club to 
ad pai tic-pants, and was in charge of hostess Mrs. 
Granville E. Brown, who provided a luncheon lit for a 
king, as “Smith,” of Reading termed it—a token which 
is never to be forgotten. The menu consisted of roast 
beef, cold sliced ham, Swiss cheese, hard-boiled eggs, 
mi -ced pickles, wheat bread, graham bread, fancy cakes, 
fruit, prepared mustard, radishes, potato salad, celery 
gherkins, olives, red beets, onions, cucumber salad, 
bananas, banana cakes and ice cream. Eating too much 
lowers a man's score, and such was the case to-aay. 
Lloyd says, “Oh you banana cakes.” Al. ate for fi rty- 
five minutes and looked hungry yet. 
High amateur honors fell on Smith, of Reading, and 
Kahler, of Philadelphia, who tied on 140. Behm, cf 
Esterly, and Heil, of Allentown, again tied. These were 
the principal stars among the visiting fair sex, as both 
are single, but neither of them cares to be tied to any 
cotton tails. Some of the bacon has always to be shared 
with the Reading boys. At Allentown, Ed. Adams was 
high with 146; at Newmanstown, A. J. Menzel was high 
with 147, and a straight run of 126, and here Smith tied 
as high amateur with 140 PI. W. Kahler, the Philadelphia 
champion. Behm and Luddy served as coachers; thus 
Smith landed $28.90 as first money, with Kahler the 
same; Behm and Heil received $22.05 each as second 
prize. 
Fred Coleman, of Philadelphia, the noted live-bird 
shot, shot in the same squad with Smith and Behm. 
breaking 135 out of his quota. Rasmussen, pitcher of 
the Allentown Baseball team, broke 137 out of his 
quota—a notable record for “Rass.” 
H. J. Schhcher, former State champion, ha.i bad 
luck ami foil clown to 136 in the regular pr'gram, hut 
landed first with 45 out of 50 (25 pairs of doubles), and 
received the silver cup donated by the Brydens in this 
e/ent. Here Heil was-second with 44, and Kahler third 
with 41. 
The professional field was led by Neaf Apgar with 
148 out of 150. Out of his last 252 targets shot at on these 
grounds in registered tournaments, Neaf dropped but 4 
tiirds. He holds a record of 236 straight here, while 
Hawkins holds one of 216 straight on the same date. 
“Mai” . was second with 145 to his credit. Lloyd R. 
Lewis was third with 139. 
During luncheon Mr. Granville E. Brown, president 
of the Brydens, presented a fine loving cup to Mr. 
Lewis for his kind services to the club since its or¬ 
ganization, as a token of remembrance. Mr. Lewis was 
taken entirely by surprise, and thanked the club for 
their courtesy. 
C. R. Babson shot but one event, as he became 
sick and could not continue in the race. 
H. L. Brown served as squad hustler, and kept the 
game moving. 
The long-run trophy was won by Arthur Walker 
with 56. George Selfies was a close second with 54, and 
Heil landed in third column with 50. 
The low pun trophy was won by J. Knoll, of Cata¬ 
sauqua, with 66 breaks. 
Luddy, secretary of the Hercules Gun Club, Temple, 
I’a., was in charge of the office, assisted by the popular 
John McAlister, and L. R. Lewis, on the Squier money-
