Olean Tournament. 
1 Glean, N. Y.—The twelfth annual tournament of the 
Olean Gun Club, May 14-15, was very well attended, 
twenty-six shooters taking part the first day. Some 
dropped out the second day, and only sixteen shot 
through. 
The weather was all that could be desired, except 
that the high wind's the second day kept the scores 
dowm. 
F. D. Kelsey, of East Aurora, won high average the 
first day, breaking 190 out of 195 shot at. This was the 
highest score ever made on the grounds. Neaf Apgar 
made high average the second day, breaking 178 out of 
195, with H. H. Stevens and Robert Pringle a close 
second with 175 each. 
In the merchandise event, Frank Wright won the 
Winchester trap gun, breaking 24 out of 25. In the 
second day’s merchandise event, Frank Conneely broke 
I 24 out of 25 at 18yd's., with H. E. Brown and Fred 
Mason a close second with 23 each, at 19yds. 
The trade was represented by H. H. Stevens, Neaf 
Apgar, Robert Pringle, O. S. Stutt. Edward Cox, of 
Buffalo, was down and shot the programme through 
both days. All of these gentlemen did much to make 
the tournament a success. H. PI. Stevens had charge of 
the office, and right well did he fill the position. You 
could get your money just as soon as the event was 
over. Following are the scores:

Plattsburg Rod and Gun Club. 
1 The Plattsburg, N. Y., Rod and Gun Club has leased 
! a preserve in the Adirondacks, surrounding and in- 
1 eluding Plumadore Lake. This lake and streams ad- 
\ jacent are well stocked with trout, and afford the best 
fishing in the Adirondacks. A log camp has been fitted 
with accommodation for the members and their friends, 
f A warden will be at the camp, and have charge of the 
i boats and all camp property during the hunting and fish¬ 
ing season. Any one who may wish to join the club or 
I arrange to visit this preserve, address Dr. G. K. 
Hawkins. 
Our club has arranged to hold its second annual 
; tournament on Tuesday, June 27. It is a very prosperous 
j one of 150 members. We are holding semi-weekly shoots.

ILLINOIS AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP 
won with 
WINCHESTER 
FACTORY LOADED SHELLS 
W. R. CROSBY. 
Mr. J. Barto, shooting Win¬ 
chester Factory Loaded Shells, 
captured this coveted title at the 
Illinois State Shoot, held at Chi¬ 
cago, May 14-16, with a score of 
48 out of 50 at 18 yards. 
THE BOARD OF TRADE 
DIAMOND [BADGE 
was won at this shoot by W. R. 
Crosby, shooting Winchester 
Factory Loaded Shells, with the 
splendid score of 87 out of 100 
targets at 22 yards. Mr. Crosby 
also won 
HIGH PROFESSIONAL AVERAGE 
These victories, won under such distance handicaps, em¬ 
phasize the strong and even shooting qualities of Win¬ 
chester Factory Loaded Shells. Their superiority has 
been demonstrated over and over again and you will never 
regret it if you adopt them for your regular Load. They are 
The Shells That Won The Last 
Two Grand American Handicaps 
Jackson Park Gun Club. 
Paterson, N. J., May 19.—We all worked very hard 
for the shoot, May 15, some of us giving up more valu¬ 
able’ time than we ought to have given, but we were 
determined to give the shooters something of a treat 
when they got to Jackson Park. Every arrangement 
was completed, so that we could expedite the’ shoot, 
no matte’r how many shooters came. The only thing 
which did not suit me—and you know that I have always 
been very particular in that respect—was the new trap. 
It was st’t according to instructions, but it would con¬ 
tinue to throw rather slow left quartering drivers, which 
should have cut more to the left. Again, on the other 
side, it would shoot them like lightning, almost straight 
out from the side of the trap, making that angle too 
sharp, which setYned to bother every shooter on the 
ground. Otherwise the angles w^ere fine. The old 
trap had on its best behavior. It did its work to 
perfection. I for one can say that there is nothing on 
earth that can throw them as fast or more pt’rfect angles 
than the Magautrap when they are kept in order, but 
it should be run by a motor and electric pull. 
Now the cause as to what made the boys disgusted. 
\Ye sent out oveY seven hundred programmes within 
a day or two of the time. We had the assurance of at 
least seven different clubs that they would enter teams 
up to Monday night; but only one team, beside’s the 
Jackson boys, put in an appearance. There were only 
five clubs represented in the individual contest—North- 
side, one; Midland, two; North Caldwell, one’; Pleasure 
Gun Club, six, with team; two professionals, and the 
rest Jackson boys. We did not intend to enter a team, 
but to make a contest out of it, the boys decided to 
enter, with the’ result that they carried off the team 
prize, while Richter, of the Pleasure Gun Club, got the 
individual cup. The Jackson boys appreciated very 
much the visit of the Pleasure Gun Club members and 
will at some’ future date return the compliment by a 
visit to their grounds, at Englewood, N. J. 
The trade was represented by Bob Nichols, Harry 
Fessenden and John H. Zollinger. 
Everything is about completed for the Decoration 
Day shoot. The revolveY shooters are hustling for a 
big crowd, and expect to put in more targets in their 
programme. They failed to mention the entrrance fee. 
It will be 25 ctYits foP each re-entry. 
The shoot on the 15th could have been finished in 
one and a half hours, but we drew it out, hoping that 
others would come as promised. We will try again 
some day.
