FOREST AND STREAM. 
Secretary F. B. Chapman, Glens Falls, N. Y., sends 
us a clipping in substance as follows: “The shoot of the 
Hudson Valley Rod and Gun Club June 1 was argely 
attended. A crowd .of about five hundred people wit- 
nessed the sport. There were fifteen or , twen ^ member * Olson 
shooting. Some good scores were made. The groun< Rogers 
record of 19 breaks out of 25 birds was broken by J. • 
Bond, who captured 21 out of the 25, which was a re¬ 
markable performance, taking everything into considera- 
There were several women present. Among the 
sre fhe following: J. I. Bond 82 per cent, A. 
D. Witt 69, F. B. Chapman 64, J. H. Ingalsbe 58, H. . 
Cronkhite 57, H. T. Brown 55, Adelbert Fox 50, E. L. 
Seelye 50.” We venture the opinion that the ground 
record will rot stand many years as such.

brief 
Elsewhere in our trap columns we publish 
communication from an .eminent trapshooter in respect 
to the forthcoming New York State 
May 23, Second Bay. 
shoot. The pro¬ 
gramme is obviou^ proof in itself that all the get-rich- 
quick policy is eliminated. The State shoots prior to 
that of this year, were much alike as to financial prin¬ 
ciple the difference being largely as to the degree 
scalping activity employed. It is truly gratifying that a 
group of New York State sportsmen have come to 
front with up-to-date ideas in this matter, and with the 
zeal to out their good sportsmanship m practice. I lie 
doctrine * of transferring the money of the shooters from 
their pockets in a straight line to the club treasury be¬ 
longs to a past era. .Of course, there is a business con¬ 
sideration in running a shoot, but the legitimate ex¬ 
penses and a fair return for time and effort are matters 
quite apart from the subject. Tournament Secretary 
Geo. C. Kirk, under date of May 29, writes us as fol- .. 
lows: “We are certainly doing everything to make this Greenwall 
shoot one to be long remembered. We are not in it for Wmans 
the money that is in it. The very fact that we are using 
the Squier money-back system is proof that this state¬ 
ment is true."

Missouri Stale Tournament. 
St. Louis, Mo.-On May 22 the thirtieth annual Mis- 
souri State ’tournament opened on the grounds of the 
TraDshooters’ Association, which are properly a part 
of the old Dupont Park, but which l for many years 
Gtuf Club. This clX the old shooters will remember, 
could always muster a good team to shoot in the State 
shoot when four men to a team were to represent a club, 
and each man shot at 15 live birds. - c v.r»nt#»r <3 
On the opening day there were forty-five shooters 
present, nearly every man shooting through the^ 200 
indeed, that the local 
men made, as there were 
in tne cny vuiu were --r i ,i 
The grounds and conditions were the best, as the 
scores will show. There were seven above the 95 per 
cent, and eleven others 90 or better. , , . 
George Maxwell was going some, and dropped but six 
for the day. Fred Gilbert was plugging away, almost 
up to old-time form, and fell but two to the bad, with 
Chas. Spencer one less. Olson the Swede and Rogers, 
the G. A. H. winner, were a tie on 192. Alex. Mermod, 
all the time at the post, came second with 191, and then 
came H. Dixon with 190. , , 
There was a special event of 50 targets. Of those tak- 
ing part, five made 48, five 47, one 45 and one 44, 
and the money was well split up. 
There were four of the missionaries present repre¬ 
senting the various companies, viz.: Graves, Gemmer, 
Cummings and Carroll. . . _ , 
Some of the boys were much interested in Powers 
gun. Surely it was a curiosity, and the scores he made 
show that he is getting on to the hang of it quickly. 
Fred Whitney came down from Iowa and handled the 
cash in ‘he office, while Charley North was on hand 
making the traps do their work properly. 
The second day was an ideal shooting day, and it tell 
to Chan. Powers to improve on his first day s score 
and lead the contestants. He ran out the first seven 
events with the loss of one target in 140. Fred Rogers 
was second high man with 194, with Alex. Mermod third, 
192. 
Maxwell and the other experts fell away for this day. 
Chas. Spencer was high with 190. 
On the third day, Fritz Gilbert came on strong, and 
by a loss of only five won out the high expert average 
with 577 out of 600. George Maxwell shot well, and 
with 192 came second, or 575 for the three days. Fred 
Rogers was next with 573 
The shoot was a great success, and yet there, were -not 
present as many Missouri shooters living outside of St. 
Louis as should have shown up for the State shoot. 
The attendance of the experts and traveling men was 
large. There were fifteen shooters who essayed the live 
birds at Monte Carlo handicap. Here Powers won with 
a straight score of 25. Gilbert and Veach each had one 
fall dead out, and tied on 24. Kahler, Mermod, Bagger¬ 
man, Harlow’ and Spencer got 23.

New York Stale Shoot. 
Sranton, Pa., May 28.—The annual target tournament 
of the Scranton Rod and Gun Club took place on their 
grounds to-day. The trade was represented by J. M. 
Hawkins, Lester German, Neaf Apgar, Sim Glover and 
L. Lewis. 
The high professional average was won by J. M. 
Hawkins, 171 out of 180, while the high amateur average 
went to W. H. Stroh, of Pittston, with a score of 156. 
Edw. Hardenbergh, of Scranton, was a close second 
with 155 to his credit. 
Owing to the high wind and cold weather, good scores 
were almost impossible. Because of so many shoots 
near the same date, the attendance was unusually small. 
Syracuse, N. Y., May 27.—The following is from the 
pen of a well-known trapshooter, and is well worth read¬ 
ing and heeding: 
“On account of the character of those who are pro¬ 
moting the State shoot every effort should be made to 
insure its success. By ‘those,’ I refer to H. YY . bmitn, 
one of the truest sportsmen whom I have any knowledge 
of; Dr. Nearing, and Geo. C. Kirk, who have the O. Is- 
mark stamped all over them, and several others, of whom 
the shooters at large have probably never heard’, but who 
are true sportsmen. , . 
“I have personally had no part in the arrangements 
for this shoot, although I am a member of the club; 
but I am mightily interested in seeing it successful tor 
two reasons, viz.: for the good of the sport in general, 
and to see the efforts of the men who 1 Rave promoted the 
thankless task, crowned with success.”
