Analostan Gun Club. 
The Analostan Gun Club was blessed with good 
weather and a large attendance on the afternoon of the 
24th. Twenty-four shooters participated. Two of our 
members, who have not been with us for about a year— 
Dr. Preston King and Toe H. Hunter—were welcomed. 
Joe had new shells, a new gun and a cheery greeting for 
his old friends. His new gun seems to suit him. 
We had a visitor from far-off Texas — Forest W. Mc- 
Neir — who is visiting Dr. King. Mr. McNeir was fresh 
from the G. A. Id., and found the targets here more to 
his liking, breaking 96 out of 100, which was certainly 
a great score over our traps. . 
Dr. Stine won a leg on the Wagner medal, scoring 25 
straight. Dr. Harrison won the spoon in Class A; Miles 
Taylor in Class 15; Mr. Ivervin in Class C, after shooting 
off the tie with Geo. Talbott, and Dr. King and Gen. 
Drain tied for the spoon in Class D. Following are the 
scores:

Arkansas Stale Sportsmen’s Association Program 
The program of the twenty-first annual tournament of 
the Arkansas State Sportsmen’s Association, to be held 
at Little Rock, Ark., July 11-13, under the auspices of 
the Little Rock Gun Club, is now ready for distribution. 
The first day’s events consist of five 20-target races, 
entrance $2.40. with $25 added to each. Division of purse 
Rose-Jack 'Rabbit system, four moneys, ratio 5, 4, 3, 
and 2. 
Event No. fi. individual State championship, 50 targets, 
entrance $1; $25 added. .Purse in this event will go to the 
six high guns, divided as follows: $6, $5, $4, $4, $3, $3. 
Winner of trophy cannot share in division of purse. 
Event No. 7, handicap trophy, 50 targets, entrance $1; 
event No. 8, two-man team championship, 25 targets per 
man, entrance $1 per team; event No. 9, three-man team 
championship, 25 targets per man, entrance $1.50 per 
team. Bona fide members of the Arkansas State Sports¬ 
men’s Association only are eligible to compete for these 
trophies; but any amateur con contest for the purses in 
any event 
The second and third day’s program will be the same 
each dav, and will consist of ten 15-target events, en¬ 
trance $1.40, and $10 added to each. The Squier money- 
back system will apply in these events. After the Squier 
money-back events are finished there will be three 20- 
target events each day, entrance $2.40, with $25 added to 
each event. Division of purse, Rose-Jack Rabbit system, 
ratio 5, 4, 3 and 2. 
The total amount of added money is $700, of which 
$500 is added to the purses, and the remaining $200, as 
well as the one cent per target derived for those thrown 
in the Squier money-back events will constitute a re¬ 
serve fund to reimburse those who fail to win their en¬ 
trance in said events, less the price of targets. 
The total amount of this fund should aggregate not 
less than $350, and as the $200 added in these sweeps 
will materially cut down the losses of the participants, 
there should be a nice sum left over after refunding to 
those who fail. Thus the average winners at this tour¬ 
nament will be nicely compensated. 
All kinds of trap loads will be for sale on the grounds 
at standard prices.

The New York Slate Shoot. 
Ossining, N. Y., June 23. —Editor Forest and Stream: 
Having attended the New York State shoot for some 
years past, including the one held at Syracuse last week, 
I am due for a few remarks. The shoot itself was a 
success in every way — traps worked well, though the 
targets were thrown dead easy. The office was run in 
the usual efficient manner that Luther Squier seems to 
have cinched — and Luther was short-handed, too. Every¬ 
thing was lovely but the program that the Interstate 
Association foisted on the State Association by paying 
$300 for the privilege. The president of the Association 
very kindly made me a member of the tournament com¬ 
mittee, and in the due course of time T was in receipt 
of a proposed program from the Secretary of the New 
York State Sportsman's Association. I didn’t like it, 
so drew up a program that I thought better suited to the 
needs of New York State shooters, and sent it to the 
secretary, asking him to submit it to other members of 
the tournament committee. Shortly after, I was in re¬ 
ceipt of another letter, saying. “The program sent you 
is the one the Interstate Association insists on if we are 
to accept their $300.” I for one would have voted to re¬ 
turn the $300. but it was late in the season, and June 
was drawing near, so swallowed it. The program con¬ 
sisted of ten 15-target events each day; four moneys, 
Rose system, which of course put 12s in the money. 
Straights paid about $2.25. It is doubtful if any man 
shooting through the program paid his entire expenses. 
1 shot my “fool head off,'' averaging 92 per cent, for 
the three days, which would have won State high aver¬ 
age four years ago, and fell $8 short of my entrance fee, 
which was helped to the tune of $4.65 general average 
money. On the first day the Association added three 
30-target events for State shooters only, which was ac¬ 
cording to constitution, and did any representatives of 
the Interstate Association shoot in these events? Why, 
bless you, no! They, no doubt, were under instructions 
not to, and thusly was the stamp of disapproval put on 
any attempt by the New York State Association to 
run their own shoot. Personally, I am in favor of 20- 
and 25-target events, and I want to shoot at 200 targets 
each day. The State shoot only comes once a year, and 
when seventeen squads can shoot a program through by 
2 o’clock, there is ample time for longer events. Cut 
out the money-back system if necessary, and give us 
distance handicaps like they have adopted at the G. A. 
H. The only reason I could get for the 15-target events 
was "because shells are so expensive, and in cutting 
down the program, the load of expense is made lighter." 
In other words, our fun is curtailed because the price 
of ammunition has gone up. I am not ranting against 
the “system” or "interests,” as the Interstate Associa¬ 
tion is called. I think they are trying to help the game, 
not for any love they bear the shooters, but because it 
means hard dollars for.them to keep us popping away in 
cur foolish little clay bird game at 3 cents per pop. 
Let us hope they will continue to add money to our 
open shoots, and we don’t so much mind registering 
them either, only we can't see the sense of it. But 
please. Messrs. "Interests,” permit us to arrange our 
own program as we see fit, for we are the gainers or 
losers, not you.

The Philadelphia Rifle Association. 
The weekly competition of the Association was shot 
June 24, on the Arlington range. Lansdowne avenue and 
Cedar lane, near Llanerch, Pa. The fine weather brought 
out a number of contestants, and some good scores were 
shot. Dill made a fine average with a pistol, five out of 
seven being over 90. Geo. Schnering got some good 
offhand scores, and Williamson succeeded in getting 
his silver honor score: 
Record match. 200yds., rifle; T. G. Schnering, 210, 202, 
201, 200, 197; total 1010.

Rifle Notes. 
Lieut. Ernest Lundeen, of Company F, Michigan N. 
G., made a perfect score on the 800yd. range at the en¬ 
campment of the First Regiment at Camp Lake View, 
Michigan, last week. This is an ambition seldom realized 
among National Guard riflemen. 
The enlisted men of the U. S. Marine Corps presented 
a handsome bronze figure, by Allen G. Newman, to the 
National Rifle Association, to be awarded annually to 
the winning team, composed of enlisted men from the 
Army, Navy, National Guard or Marine Corps. The 
names of the winning teams will be engraved on the 
pedestal. The figure stands 44 inches high, and bears 
this inscription: “Presented by the enlisted men of the 
Marine Corps to the National Rifle Association of 
America, for annual competition.” 
Trojan Rifle Club. 
Troy, N. Y., June 20.—The regular weekly shoot was 
held to-day, with the following results: 200yds., off¬
