Kankakee, III., May 3. — The two-day registered tour¬ 
nament ended to-day, and while the second day was not 
as well attended as day one, the event, thanks to the 
Interstate Association and Secretary E. F. Radeke, was 
eminently successful. Forty-eight shooters tried the 
score and a number of excellent scores were hung up. 
Bart Lewis got the big piece of melon with 286 out 
of 300. Frank Kammerman made 3 less for second, 
while place went to J. S. Young with 282. Lewis shot 
in great form, getting 119 straight, missing only 3 out 
of his first day’s quota. Among the “Kank” shooters, 
A. J. Brown looked brightest, getting 267—lower than 
usual, on account of blue rock ague, due to the presence 
of so many advertised crackers. H. Kirkwood was high 
professional with 288. The scores:

New Hyde Park Shoot. 
There was a shoot at New Hyde Park on May 4 for 
“the championship of Long Island.” At least that is 
what the proprietor of a hotel out there called it, and 
as he held the shoot, he ought to know what it was. 
However, my impression added to a number of letters 
from prominent trapshooters on Long Island, who hold 
the same impression, only more so, is that Dr. A. F. 
Griffiths, who won the alleged championship, is no 
nearer being the champion of Long Island than a Man¬ 
hattan elevated clock is to being right. Not that Dr. 
.Griffiths isn’t in the championship class, because he is 
an excellent shot, but no shoot can be a recognized 
championship without having a representative entrance 
of trapshooters. This shoot was not advertised, notices 
were not sent to the sporting papers, and only a few 
Long Island trapshooters heard the shoot was to be 
held. Only twenty shooters took part and the names 
of only a few high average shooters appear on the list. 
Dr. Griffiths broke 45 out of 50; P. Von Boeckman 
smashed 44 and Wm. Simonson cracked 42. The trophy 
was a silver cup. 
To-day (May 11) at 2:30 a shoot will be held with a 
silver cup and the “championship of Nassau county” 
as the incentive.

Cincinnati Gun Club. 
The annual meeting of the club, held on May 10. was 
well attended, showing that there is still enough of the 
old club spirit left to place the organization again in 
the front ranks of trapshooting clubs. The first step 
was taken when Arthur Gambell was secured as super¬ 
intendent, and in electing a board of directors at this 
rneeting, the club chose men who will back him up in 
his efforts for the betterment of conditions. The fol¬ 
lowing were elected: Dr. R. Lee Bird, H. S. Connely, 
R. F. Davies, Dr. A. B. Heyl, H. J. Pfiester, Dan 
Pohlar, F. A. Pope, L. J, Squier and R. G. Ward. The 
directors will meet on May 14 and elect officers. 
There will be no shooting at the grounds until the 
house-warming event on May 30, which promises to be 
a regular old-fashioned Cincinnati Gun Club shoot.

Charlotte, N. C., May 10. —“The music master” 
played a prominent part here the last day of our tour¬ 
nament. He—John Philip Sousa—of course, W'on a silver 
cup in the consolation gallery, where fte stole a march 
on the 83 per centers and crackpd 42 out of 50 rocks. 
The winner of the tournament was H. A. Morson, who, 
unlike the men in the chain gangs, enjoys “breaking 
rocks,” and so tallied 263 out of 300. He also won 
the championship of North and South Carolina, carrying 
that title with 47 out of 50. 
All shot at 250 targets each day with the exception 
of L. C. Grant and L. B. Townsend, who both shot at 
200 targets on the second day, and J. H. Daingerfield, 
who only shot at 50 targets
