The programs for the two days’ registered Interstate 
tournament, to be held July 26-27, are now ready far 
mailing, and without doubt this tournament will draw 
the largest crowd of shooters ever got together in west¬ 
ern Pennsylvania. The features of the tournament are 
$100 added to the Squier money-back system; $100 fpr 
class system: money to first and second high guns in 
Classes A, B, C and D: $100 cash and Tri-State five- 
man team championship of western Pennsylvania, eastern 
Ohio and West Virginia—first, second and third money; 
$25 divided equally among the five low guns. This 
makes forty moneys, and there is no added entrance 
fee for the above events. A twelve-man team race 
between Butler and New Castle for the championship 
of the two towns. These tw'o teams have_ met three 
times this year, Butler winning on Butler’s grounds, 
New Castle winning at New Castle, and the tie being 
shot off on neutral grounds, Ellwood City was chosen, 
and this shoot resulted in a tie. The rubber will con¬ 
sequently be shot off during the Butler tournament. 
Another feature in which much interest is shown is 
the shoot between Mr. Painter, better known among 
the shooting fraternity as “Kelsey,” and Mr. James 
Atkinson, one of the oldest and best-known shooters in 
western Pennsylvania. Mr. Atkinson challenged Mr. 
Painter to shoot for the Du Pont cup, which he now 
holds as amateur champion of western Pennsylvania. 
This shoot w'ill be managed by Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, 
of the Interstate Association, assisted by Luther Squier, 
of the Du Pont Comany. and Mr. Charles North will 
have charge of the three Ideal-Leggett traps, which will 
be used for this tournament. 
The Butler 1910 tournament was one of the twenty- 
five most successful held in the United States last year. 
The 1911 tournament will be bigger and better than ever. 
Information or programs will be gladly furnished by 
Samuel G. Purvis, Secretary, 213 South Main street,

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, July 2. —The appended scores were made 
at the Hudson Gun Club’s regular bi-monthly shoot 
this morning. The attendance was not up to standard, 
owing no doubt to a number of our members taking 
advantage of the double holiday to get a little recreation 
at the mountains or seaside. 
The club prize series event was decided with the fol¬ 
lowing winners: First, a cut-glass dish, won by C. 
Durkee; second, a sterling silver and cut-glass salt and 
pepper set, won by A. Kurzell; third went to Dr. Groll, 
who selected a reel; fourth, was a hand-painted china 
piece, won by R. Strobel; fifth, a silver loving cup, was 
the selection of J. Williams, Jr.; sixth was W. Emmons, 
and he selected a leather fly-book; seventh prize, a 
Bristol fly-rod, went to T. Whitley; eighth was a fancy 
steel engraving, won by J. Williams; ninth, a hand- 
painted flower vase, won by Carl von Lengerke. Our 
next shoot will be held on Sunday, July 16. We shoot 
from 10 A. M. and continue until the boys commence 
to think about home. Everybody is welcome to spend 
the day with us, so take a run out and get acquainted 
with us.

Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
The attendance at the club’s money-back tournament 
on July 2, was not quite up to the standard set by the 
previous affairs. The extremely hot weather was respon¬ 
sible for the falling off; the glass registered away up in 
the 90s, and there was no wind to help make the heat 
bearable. The scores were not up to the average of most 
of the shooters, for they could not do their best in the 
hot sun. Westcott was high man with 140, closely 
followed by Ike Brandenburg, of Dayton, who scored 
139. Bruns, one of the new shooters, came next with 
,139. The latter has not been in the game many months, 
but is improving rapidly, and promises to make the 
leaders look to their laurels before the season is closed. 
Hammersmith was shooting a gun which was about 
one-eighth of an inch too long in the stock (so he 
said) for him, and this threw him out of form. 
The money-back purse amounted to $31.10, and the 
losses to $21.85, leaving a surplus of $9.25 to be used 
toward a trophy for the high man. Five of the fifteen 
shooters had to call on the relief fund in sums ranging 
from $2.05 to $7.8’. The program consisted of ten 15- 
target events, entrance $1.40 each, money divided 35, 30, 
20 and 15 per cent. After the events, entrance $1.40 
20 and 15 per cent. After the finish of the regular pro¬ 
gram a special event at 25 targets, 20yds. rise, $1.25 
entrance, two moneys, GO and 40 per cent., was pulled off. 
First money was divided by Link and Hammersmith on 
a score of 24: second money went to Ike and Westcott 
on a score of 23; Payne came next with 22; Bruns 21, 
and Schreck 20. 
Three challenge matches were then shot between 
Payne and Bruns at 25 targets each. The first was from 
20yds. rise, $5 a side, and was won by Payn_e on a score 
of 24 to 22. The second was from 16yds., $5 a side, and 
in this Bruns led with a score of 22 to 21. 
Tn the rubber, from 17yds.. $10 a side, Bruns came 
cut the winner with a score of 23 to 22.

Of the three gun clubs in this vicinity, this was the 
only one to show any signs of life on either July 8 or 
9, and there was nothing to brag of in the attendance 
at its grounds. Hyde Park had nothing doing on the 
8th, a terrific rain storm, accompanied by lightning, 
broke over the city earlv in the afternoon, and kept all 
the members at home. Cincinnati had not recovered from 
is holiday shoot, and the members were all resting up 
for their money-back shoot on the 16th. The day was 
another of the hot variety to which we have been treated 
for the past week, and few had the courage to get put on 
the firing line. H. R. Irwin had a new gun, which he 
was very anxious to try out, and braved the heat for that 
purpose. He says the gun is just right, and he cer¬ 
tainly did some good work with it, breaking 90 out ot 
100 scoring 48 out of the first 50. and making a run of 
45 straight. Yoige started out with 44 out of the first 50, 
but fell down a little m his last 50. Shooting from the 
°0vd mark, he broke 19 to Irwin’s 18. It is likely that 
the club will hold a tri-State tournament later in the 
fall the date will be announced in good time. The 
shoot will be open to all. the trophy for shooters of 
Indiana. Ohio and Kentucky. or r i ,,
