The second annual tournament of the Maryland State 
Sportsmen’s Association will be held at Prospect Park, 
Baltimore, Md., on Aug. 27, 28 and 29. 
Elmer E. Shaner telegraphs that “the Portland Gun 
Club will add an additional $500 to the regular program 
events at the Pacific Coast Handicap tournament, Port¬ 
land, Ore., Aug. 27, 28 and 29, making a total of $1,500 
added money at said tournament.” 
•t 
Do not overlook the seventh Western Handicap, Aug. 
14, 15, 16, at Kansas City. There will be $1,000 or more 
added money, made up as follows: Added to the West¬ 
ern Handicap, $200; trophy for the winner of the West¬ 
ern Handicap, $100; added to the Squier money-back 
special fund, $ 200 ; one cent (lc.) for each target trapped 
added to the Squier money-back special fund, $500 or 
more—making a total of $1,000 or more. If 50,000 tar¬ 
gets are not trapped in the regular program events, the 
difference will be made good by the Interstate Associa¬ 
tion and the Kansas City Gun Club.

Buffalo Audubon Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 3.—Only seventeen members 
attended the first regular shoot for August, and our old 
friend, F. D. Kelsey, was easily the star of the day 
with a good 90 out of his century. He only got 14 out 
of the last event from the 19yds. mark, or he would have 
done much better. Kelsey, Imhoff and Blackmer were 
winners in the badge event, while Kelsey, Suckow and 
Blackmer won spoons and Rogers, Barger and Blackmer 
won legs in the Smith 
trophy event. Scores:

was for the second leg on the DuPont trophy, Rogers,
