[Aug. 26, 1911. 
Holland Gun Club. 
Batavia. N. Y., Aug. 16.—Our ninth annual tourna¬ 
ment, held to-dnv, was the most successful in the history 
of the club. \Ve had seventy shooters, and forty-five 
shot the entire regular program of 140 targets. J. A. K. 
Elliott was high professional and high gun with 134 
out of 140, winning the cut-glass pitcher for high profes¬ 
sional average. T. F. Conneely, Bradford, Pa., was high 
amateur, 133 out of 140. F. D. Kelsey, East Aurora, and 
C. L. Frantz, Seneca Falls, divided second average, 133 
out of 140. E. E. Hilliker, East Aurora, third average, 
131 out of 140. The next eighteen shooters were 120 or 
better. Altogether, including the professionals, twenty- 
six of the forty-five shooting the entire regular pro¬ 
gram broke from 120 to 134, showing very keen com¬ 
petition. In the merchandise, Wright broke 25 straight 
from 20yds. There were eight 24s and four 23s, and in 
the shoot-off of the ties, miss-and-out, for choice, Ilobbie 
broke 30 straight, and Conneely 29 .There were twelve 
competing for the Watts L. Richmond trophy—Western 
New York Championship. Wright, Frantz and Kersh- 
ner each got two 24s, Green got 23 and 25. On shooting 
the tie Wright and Green both went straight. On the 
second tie Wright missed his first target, breaking 24, 
and Green went straight and won the fourth leg on the 
cup and will hold the same for the coming year. With 
9 left over from the first string of 23 out of 25, second 
string of 25. and two ties of 25 each, J. D. Green broke 
98 out of 100, and 84 straight, to win the cup and the 
high run of the tournament. 
Bradford (Pa.) Gun Club sent a delegation of thirteen 
shooters, and the thirteen was lucky, for they won high 
average, four of the eleven merchandise prizes.

Chas. W. Gardiner, Sec’y. 
Cincinnati Gun Club. 
The tournament held on Aug. 20 was a success. The 
attendance was not .so very large, nineteen shooters tak¬ 
ing part, but all were pleased with the result of the pro¬ 
gram which was provided. This was a departure from 
the usual money-back which the club has been giving 
each month this season, and when the shooters figured 
up at the close of the shoot the financial returns were 
very satisfactory. The day was fine for outdoor sport, 
the only drawback being the wind, which was quite 
strong at times, and made the flight of the targets rather 
erratic, cutting down the scores in some of the events. 
The program consisted of five 20-target and two 25-target 
events, entrance at the rate of 10 cents per target in 
each. Money divided 25, 25, 25, 25, class shooting. The 
club added one cent for each target thrown as high 
average purse, divided Rose system, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, class 
shooting. This made a purse of $25.50; first money, $8.50; 
second, $6.80; third, $5.10; fourth, $3.40, fifth, $1.70. 
Shooting began at 11:30, and the regular program was 
finished at 3:30. George Dameron and E. Hammer- 
schmidt divided first money on a score of 137; second 
money was divided by T. J. Donald and R. H. Bruns on 
131; Connelly and Cain finished close up in third place 
with 130 each. Milt Johnson fell down in two of the 
events, and could not get so high a place as is usual 
with him. C. A. Young, the well-known expert, was 
high man for the day with 141, but shot for targets only, 
and his score did not figure in the money. Ralph 
Trimble, another well-known professional, was third high 
man with 134. Some day Jones will get a gun and stay 
with it, then his scores will look better. To-day he 
used three different guns and deserved all that he got. 
The club will entertain Mr. and Mrs. Topperwein, of 
San Antonio. Tex., on Sept. 21, when they will give an 
exhibition of fancy rifle and revolver shooting, and in 
the use of these weapons they have no superiors. Mrs. 
Topperwein also has a reputation with the scatter gun 
that many trapshooters of the sterner sex would be 
proud to equal. 
At the conclusion of the regular program a special 
event at 15 singles and 5 pairs was shot, Cain and 
Donald dividing first money on 22. 
Among the out-of-town shooters present were: Ike 
Brandenburg and Ed. Cain, of Dayton; T. J. Donald, of 
Felicity, O.; R. H. Bruns, of Brookville, Ind.; C. A. 
Young, of Springfield, O., and W. R. Randall, of 
Mason, O. 
The programs for the tournament on Sept. 14 and 15 
will be mailed in a few days, and should prove of in¬ 
terest to the shooters within a hundred miles or more of 
Cincinnati. This will be a money-back shoot, registered 
with the Interstate Association, and there is a nice piece 
of money added to the purse. Luther J. Squier will 
have charge, which means that there will’ be no delays 
of any kind, and that everything will run smoothly.

Vulcan Gun Club. 
Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 15.—The fourth tournament of the 
Western Pennsylvania Trapshooters’ League, was held 
on the ground of the Vulcan Gun Club. North Side, 
Pittsburg, Pa. Although the weather was very un¬ 
satisfactory, raining most of the day, the attendance of 
fifty was very encouraging. 
The highest score in Class A was made by J. F. Cal¬ 
houn, D. E. Hickey and C. R. Anderson, breaking 141 
out of 150. Class B, O. Kirch broke 129, W. M. Hale 
and J. I. Morrison 128 each. Class C was divided by 
Mrs. F. Gallagher and R. J. Gumbert, breaking 121. 
Class D was also divided: F. Y. McCrum, P. M. Praum 
and J. A. Keefer breaking 109 each. 
Highest professional was L. J. Squier with 138. 
The management was under the direction of Pop W. 
H. Denman, who conducted the shoot very satisfactorily 
and pleased all the contestants. One of the important 
features was one of the automatic traps, which was 
p'aced on top of the wagon bed, which Denman named 
liis biplane trap. The scores were as follows:

ment to both the shooters and spectators. This squad 
consisted of Edward Banks, T. W. Mathewson, W. G.

lon was high man with a score of 22 out of 25.
