Western Connecticut Trapshooters’ League 
Danbury, Conn., July 20.—With even more than the 
usual amount of success the fourth registered tournament 
of the Western Connecticut Trapshooters’ League was 
shot at Tamarack range, tinder the auspices of the 
Pahquioque Rod and Gun Club, of Danbury, Conn., to¬ 
day. A little touch of color and romance was added to 
the competition throughout the entire program by three 
young women shooters. Miss Thorpe, of Danbury, a 
young lady of fourteen, shot remarkably well, making a 
score of 77 out of 150, breaking 13 out of her last string 
of 15. Miss Hyland, of White Plains, was the high 
feminine, her score being 101 out of 150. There were 
thirty men in the tournament who made less than this 
breakage. Miss Bolles, of Greenwich, removed from 
further competition SO aerosaucers out of her allotment 
of 150. The Indies attracted considerable attention, and 
will, we hope, through their exhibition of grace and 
aptitude, attract many of the numerous women present 
to the gentle art of trapshooting. 
The winner of the tournament was L. H. Bradley, of 
Hartford, with a score of 137 cut of the entire program 
of 150. W. A. Grady, of the Pahquioque Club, was sec¬ 
ond with 135; E. W. Mulford, of Hartford, was third 
with 134. 
The race was exciting from start to finish. C. H. 
Daley, of Danbury,- won the Connecticut State champion¬ 
ship, with 93 out of 100. The Pahquioque Rod and Gun 
Club won the five-man team event with 440 out of 500. 
Bridgeport No. 1 was second with 434; Hartford was 
third, making 431. L. C. Wilson, of Bridgeport, made a 
run of 66, the highest of the tournament, for which he 
was awarded a gold watch. The cup (Connecticut trophy) 
—that is, one limb of it. went to L. H. Bradley. 
The shooting of L. C. Chamberlain, of New Haven, 
put him up to 553 out of 600. high gun for the league 
trophy. A. O. Storer broke 98 out of 150, securing a 
nether limb of the Pahquioque Gun Club trophy. 
In the special distance handicap merchandise event, 
D. H. Hall, of Bridgeport, topped the list with 24 out 
of 25. 
The shoot was the largest ever held in the State of 
Connecticut, which incidentally means New England, and 
was, as usual, errorlessly managed, Edward H. Bailey 
being chief helmsman, ably assisted by W. S. Thomp¬ 
son, prize committeeman, and George Ginn, of the Win¬ 
chester Arms Co., who cashiered the event. 
Eighteen thousand five hundred targets were thrown 
and from the first call of “Pull” until the last pigeon 
had been trapped, there was intense enthusiasm among 
contestants and spectators. Lester German was high 
professional gun with 146 smashes, while Harry Stevens 
smashed up 138 dried muds. Neaf Apgar refused to trail, 
so broke the same number. Scores:

Richmond Gun Club. 
Richmond, Va., July 20.—Parker was high gun to¬ 
day with 48 out of 50, being within one bird of equal¬ 
ing the high score of the season. Hammond was second 
with 47. 
After the shoot the club held a meeting and voted to 
make the price of targets 1 cent instead of 2 cents as 
heretofore. This should be an inducement for visitors 
to come out and shoot with the club. 
The program for next Saturday will be very interest¬ 
ing, as several experts are expected. There will also be 
a race between two teams, to be selected on the grounds.

North Side Gun Club. 
Milwaukee, Wis, July 22.—In spite of the rain of 
Saturday, quite a number of shooters turned out at the 
weekly shoot of the North Side Gun Club Sunday. 
Owing to a heavy wind, the scores do not represent the 
ability of the various marksmen. A. E. Gies carried off 
high honors with 84 per cent. The scores:
