FOREST AND STREAM 
[April 24, 1909. 
Parkdale Gun Club. 
Toronto, Ont.—The annual tournament of this club 
started on April 9, and from 9 o’clock until darkness 
prevented a further continuance of the fun, it was one 
continuous fusilade. 
The general opinion from all the shooters was that 
the management could not be improved. The office, 
under the supervision of Mr. Harry Stevens, of U. M. 
C. Co., and Mr. G. R. Ginn, of the Winchester Co., was 
all that could be desired. The general management of 
the traps and the getting of the shooters into line was 
looked after by Mr. Chas. North, of the Cleveland 
Cartridge and Target Co., which leaves nothing to be 
said. 
The team shoot for the handsome shield presented by 
Mr. J. C. Eaton, of T. Eaton Co., was won by River- 
dale Gun Club, of Toronto; second, Stanley Gun Club, 
of Toronto; third, Efamilton Gun Club. 
Many visitors from out of town were made welcome. 
Our cousins from over the border made a good show¬ 
ing, and are certainly good sportsmen. 
The first five events were all shot at IGyds., shooters 
being afterwards handicapped • according to their per¬ 
centages, 80 per cent, and under, standing at 16yds. 
From SO to 83 per cent., 17yds.; 83 to 86 per cent., 18yds.; 
86 to 89 per cent., 19vds., and 90 per cent, and over, 
20yds. The programme consisted of ten 20-target events. 
Following are the scores:

Bishopville Gun Club. 
Shelbyville, Del., April 14.—I have been instructed 
to tell you of our .shoot at Bishopville, Md., on Easter 
Monday. We did surely enjoy ourselves, and such a 
big shoot for a small town! We had thirty-one shooters 
and we shot as long as we could get shells. We cleaned 
the stores out and finally had to stop, but not before 
we gave the merchants a piece of our mind. 
That Wilmington bunch came down, and we were 
glad to see them, especially German, as we haven’t 
seen Les for many moons, and our boys wanted to see 
him shoot, and shoot he did. Les only missed 5 in 150, 
so he was pointing that Parker of his mighty fine, a 
gale of wind blowing at that. 
Billy Foord was sick, but his word he said he was 
going to keep, and he came, but shot under many dis¬ 
advantages. 
Mr. Beacham is not a stranger at Bishopville, for he 
is on the road for a hardware house in Philadelphia, but 
he is a clever shot just the same. Ed Harrington, from 
Franklin City. \ a., was on the job good and plenty. 
Our boys worked like beavers to make the visitors feel 
that they \vere among friends. 
Sie Hopkins was sick, and Geo. Hudson was hallooing 
how easy he would have had it in beating Sie, so Ed 
Whaley took Sie’s place, and the fur flew for a 50-bird 
race. Ed put it all over Hudson in grand style. Hudson 
was stepping fine for about thirty birds, but for some 
cause he cannot explain, he got his tail over the reins 
and went up in a gallop. So we have another good shot 
added to our club. 
Will Whaley took the visiting shooters home for 
supper and gave them a good time, and sent them on 
their way home with the best wishes of the Bishopville 
Gun Club; and hoiring to see them again at our next 
big shoot. That will be after strawberry crop is over, 
then we hope to have plenty of money, and any shooter 
north who hasn’t his car fare and who wants to see the 
Bishopville Gun Club shoot and shoot with us, kindly 
let us know it, and we will chip in and see that he gets 
here. C. W. Floyd. 
Atlantic City Gun Club. 
Atlantic City, N. J., April 12.—We had fifty-three 
shooters to go through the entire programme, which is 
an extraordinarily good attendance. During the day 
sixty men faced the traps. 
The weather conditions were nearly perfect, and the 
two traps worked' in fine style, throwing a good 50yd. 
target. 
Mr. 'Wilson, of Frenchtown, N. J., was high amateur 
for the day with 183 out of 200, winning a sterling silver 
shield, donated by the Seaside Hotel. This trophy was 
very handsome, and Mr. Wilson should feel very proud 
of his win, 
Mr. W. B. Severn, of the S. S. White Gun Club of 
Philadelphia, was second high with 182, winning a gold 
watch. Mr. Severn looked like a sure winner of the 
average, but he was obliged to finish his last string of 
20 in semi-darkness, and let six get away from him. 
Messrs. Bates, of Camden; Gaskill, of Tuckerton, and 
Capt. Harry Headley, of the local shooters, tied on the 
last 50 targets, which represented the Ithaca gun contest. 
On account of the darkness, we were unable to shoot off 
the tie, so the boys agreed to divide up. The gentlemen 
powdered 47 out of 50, which was going a little. 
Jlr. J. T. Skelly captured professional honors for the 
day. Mr. Lewis made an exceptional score also, consid¬ 
ering the fact that he ran the office for the club. The 
club surely appreciates the service Mr. Lewis performed 
for us, and extend to him our very best wishes for his 
continued success. 
Sim Glover captured second professional honors. 
Messrs. Darton and Brown tied for third professional 
honors. 
Messrs. Apgar, Pratt and Dorp were also with us, and 
did their share to make the shoot the great success that 
it was. 
Mr. Watson, of Fairmount, W. Va., started off strong, 
but fell a little toward the end of the programme. He 
was satisfied with what he got. 
C. H. Newcomb and Frank Eames, of Philadelphia, 
were both held up at the last moment by business and 
could not be with us. Pretty bad when business inter¬ 
feres with such a shoot as this. 
Mink fell by the wayside. Guess 20yds. was a little 
too much for him. 
Tule, of Haddonfield, one of the veterans, enjoyed the 
day thoroughly. 
Our local boys, on account of something that they 
cannot account for, fell sadly. They have not yet been 
able to give a satisfactory explanation as to what was the 
matter. They claim they will redeem themselves at the 
next big shoot. 
Another shoot will be given about the middle of 
August, a forerunner to the Westy Hogan, which comes 
here again in September. This will probably be a two- 
day shoot and run as an annual affair and termed the 
Atlantic Coast Championship. 
Hope to meet all the boys again on the firing line in 
August.

Tuckahoe Gun Club. 
Tuckahoe, N. Y., April 17.—Gunners from White 
Plains visited Tuckahoe in force on Saturday, and helped 
to make things lively. The weather was all that could 
be desired, and about 1,700 little mud saucers were shot 
at. There were eighteen shooters present, and some 
good scors were made. 
Event No. 5 was a friendly match between White 
Plains and Tuckahoe. The absence of regular members 
of the team proved a handicap to the home club, which 
was beaten by 12 points. White Plains scoring 101, and 
Tuckahoe, 89. 
The second leg of the April cup was contested by 
A'alentine, Grindrod, Dalton, Schmitt and Wurster as 
event No. 4, 'Valentine was the winner with 48 out of 
50 for the two April shoots. 
Event No. 7 was a “Jack Rabbit” sweep, which af¬ 
forded considerable amusement, Schirmer, of "AVhite 
Plains, and Grindrod winning first and second after 
shooting off ties miss-and-out. 
Underhill, with a borrowed gun, did well for a man 
who does not shoot often. Townsend and Sutton divided 
honors as high guns for the afternoon. 
The next regular club shoot will take place on Satur¬ 
day, May 1, at 2:30 P. M.
