Secretary-Manager Elmer E. Shaner writes, under date 
of March 13, as follows; “The Interstate respectfully 
suggests that gun clubs applying for registered tourna¬ 
ments avoid as far as possible conflicting with tourna¬ 
ments which have already been registered. Much cor¬ 
respondence and annoyance will thus be done away with. 
Conflicting dates can easily be avoided by referring to the 
list of registered tournaments published each week in 
Forest and Stream.” 
At the shoot of the Independent Gun Club, Holmes- 
burg Junction, Pa., March 13, Mr. F. W. Mathews led 
the competition with a total of 97 out of 100 targets, of 
which 8 were allowance. Mr. W. H. Mathews was one 
less, 96, and won second, while Messrs. Newcomb and 
Anderson tied on 95 for third, the former shooting from 
20yds. with 3 allowance, thus scoring 92 actual breaks. 
This was the first shoot of a series of three, for a valu¬ 
able gun, donated by that fine sportsman and good 
shot, Mr. F. M. Eames. The highest total score of the 
three shoots determines the winner. There were twenty- 
nine contestants in the first contest.

letic Club and Yale University, on the grounds of the

made high individual score, 89. The Yale team brought 
two substitutes in place of two of its best men, Messrs. 
Morrison and Treaudeau, and in recognition of the con¬ 
sequent impaired powers of the Yale team, the Crescent 
team was not all picked from the best, seasoned, Cres-
