Virginia State Shooting Association. 
Lynchburg, Va., Sept. 5.—The twelfth annual tourna¬ 
ment of the V. S. T. A. ended here to-day after two em¬ 
inently successful days’ targeting. The weather the first 
day being ideal, while a bad wind hampered the shoot¬ 
ers on the second. The first day had eighty-eight en¬ 
trants, in the regular program of 150 targets. High pro¬ 
fessional was the old reliable Lester German, who took 
a fall out of 145, with Snuff Taylor one behind him and 
only one ahead of Lyon. Among the amateurs, Dr. 
Richards, of Roanoke, was first with 140, followed by 
Watson, of Roanoke, with 139. Third was a tie be¬ 
tween Nuckols, of Charlotte, N. C., and W. R. Winfree, 
of Lynchburg, at 138. Immediately following the regular 
program the five-man team shoot took place. Lynch¬ 
burg team No. 1 was the winner with a score of 228 out 
of 250. Roanoke was second with 219. 
The second day was probably the most successful 
second day in the history of the association, as there 
were nearly seventy shooters on the firing line, and 
Lynchburg covered herself with glory, as far as honors 
in the meet were concerned. 
W. R. Winfree not only won the individual champion¬ 
ship of the State of Virginia, but also the individual 
championship of the combined States of Virginia and 
North Carolina. In the Virginia State championship. 
Dr. Dennis, of this city, was second, while Mr. Phil 
Steubener, of Bladensburg, Md., tied Mr. Winfree with 
95 out of 100; but as he is a non-resident of the State, 
he was ineligible, and did not count in the race. 
In the shoot for the Virginia-North Carolina cham¬ 
pionship and the Lyons-Johnson cup, there was a tie of 
three with 96 out of 100, the shooters being Messrs. W. 
R. Winfree, of Lynchburg; Nuckols, of Charlotte, N. 
C, and Dr. Richards, of Roanoke. The tie was shot 
off at 25 targets, and Winfree won out with 24. The 
victory was a very popular one, as Winfree has been 
“knocking at the door” for several years. When 76 of 
the 100 birds had been shot at, Hammond, of Richmond, 
was in the lead by one bird, but was unlucky in get¬ 
ting a favorable wind while he was shooting his last 
score, and this cut his total down considerably. Shep¬ 
herd, of Roanoke, could have won if he had gotten his 
last 25 straight, and tied if he had hit 24 out of the 25, 
but' he secured only 19. Moss was in exactly the same 
position as Shepherd, and he also made 19 out of 25. 
In the championship shoot particular credit is due to 
Messrs. Fox and Daniel, of Lynchburg; Dr. Watson, of 
Roanoke; Gallagher, of Norfolk; Cochran, of Bristol, 
and Sittings and Steinback, of Staunton, all of them 
being Virginia shooters who made 90 per cent, or better. 
Lester German was high professional for the two days 
with 292 out of 300, and J. R. Taylor was next with 
291. 
Dr. Richards with 283 out of 300 was high amateur; 
Nuckols was second with 282 and W. R. YVinfree third 
with 281. 
The long run was made by J. R. Taylor, who had a 
record of 110 straight. 
In the whole meeting Lynchburg won the five-man 
team race, and the Virginia and the Virginia-North Car¬ 
olina individual championships. 
Probably the most interesting part of the program 
was the five-man team race, at 50 targets per man, for 
the State championship, which was won by the Lynch¬ 
burg' team. Lynchburg had two teams on the field, 
Roanoke two. and Portsmouth, Richmond and Staunton 
one team each. The scores were as follows:

tournament of the Herkimer Club ended successfully 
after forty-six shooters had shot at about 9000 clay birds. 
In the regular program of 150 targets, C. L. Franz won

only one short, while O. E. Carpenter took third with

also came back; each broke 24 birds. 
There were three ties for third place, T. E. Clay, J. G. 
Deck and M. E. Barber, each getting 23. 
General high average went to J. De Bee with 162 out 
of 175, with Carpenter second with 160, and C. L. Franz 
third with one less. High and only professional, Sim 
Glover, who in his lonesomeness broke 145 out of 150, 
doing perfect shooting in all but events 2, 4 and 10. In 
No. 4 he missed three rocks.

Big Game Rifle, Rod and Gun Club. 
Wheeling, W. Va., Sept. 5.—Old Tup. Pluv. vented 
his wrath on the innocent and clean gunners here to¬ 
day and washed the enthusiasm clean out of most of the 
shooters. Even Snuff Taylor wasn’t sufficiently full of 
his irrepressible humor to pul! one on the bunch. 
The rain came down in torrents all day, and the scores 
are remarkably good under the wetumstances. 
Wiedebusch got away in a pontoon with first money, 
making suds of 144 out of 150. Gerstell canoed home 
with second lucre after terminating the existence of 140. 
Matthews needed only 136 for third place. Taylor took 
Wilmot Gun Club. 
Wilmot, O., Sept. 4.—Fred Gruber won the s_hoot 
here to-day with a score of 139 out of 150, beating G. E. 
Janson by one target. Third went to G. Kopp, who 
located 131 birds. First professional was Burton Call, 
who shot consistently up to the tenth event, where he 
missed two birds. He had seven straights. His score 
was 146. W. R. Chamberlain and L. J. Squier each 
dusted 140. The race between Gruber and Janson was 
interesting up to the eighth event, and brought out con¬ 
siderable enthusiasm among the local patrons of the 
sport. Gruber broke straight in the first event, while 
Janson missed two hard straightaways. Each lost two in 
the second and one in the third. Janson tied in the 
fourth by breaking straight, while Gruber missed two 
hard ones. They reversed scores in the fifth, Gruber 
breaking straight, while Janson lost two. Janson tied 
again m the sixth with a straight against 13 for Gruber. 
In the seventh Janson ran ahead with a 'straight, while 
Gruber got 14 in the eighth, going one ahead of Janson, 
who lost two birds. After this Gruber never was 
headed. He made 14 in the two remaining events, while 
tenth. Score 
sheets 
were 
excellent.

Mount Kisco Gun Club. 
Mount Kisco, N. Y., Sept. 5. — That trapshooting is 
again coming into favor with our local and adjacent 
sportsmen is evidenced by the large attendance at our 
club each week. Messrs. W. Coleman, S. T. Hyland, 
Lyons and Moran, from Ossining, and Mr. Scovel from 
White Plains, were with us. The Ossining boys came 
over to make us a visit, and to get acquainted with our 
new shooting ground, and to form an idea of the annual 
tournament, which will be held on Sept. 28. The visit¬ 
ing shooters were very much surprised at the location 
of our ground and the perfectly clear sky background.
