At the tournament of the Racine Gun Club, Racine, 
Wis., R. W. Clancy broke 144 out of 150, winning second 
professional average, with Dead Shot smokeless. 
The trap editor of Forest and Stream desires to ex¬ 
press his profound appreciation of the many courtesies 
extended to him while attending the New York State 
shoot last week. In particular, he is indebted to Mr. C. 
F. Lambert, a member of the Masonic Temple Gun Club, 
for princely hospitality extended.

Mr. A. H. Fox writes us an account of some very re¬ 
markable shooting which was done by Mr. Fred Cole¬ 
man with a genuine A. H. Fox gun, at the shoot of the 
Florists’ 'Gun Club, on Saturday, June 8 . Mr. Coleman 
broke 174 out of 175 clay pigeons shot at, with a run of 
161 straight, which we believe is the longest straight run 
ever made in the State of Pennsylvania. Such shoot¬ 
ing as this is the most convincing argument that can 
be given of the wonderful shooting qualities of this 
gun and tire splendid marksmanship of Mr. Coleman.

Mr. W. T. Ely, of Toronto, writes us as follows: “On 
Aug. 7, 8 and 9 the seventh annual tournament of the 
Dominion of Canada Trapshooting Association will be 
held at Toronto, under the auspices of the Stanley Gun 
Club. In addition to the regular cash and other prizes, 
we are having a large merchandise event. We are de¬ 
pending for the prizes in this event to be given by our 
friends, and such firms as are interested in out-of-door 
sport. This is the largest shoot held in Canada, and is 
very largely attended by members from all clubs through¬ 
out the Dominion. This is the first time that a mer¬ 
chandise event has been introduced, and we are anxious 
ANALOSTAN GUN CLUB SHOOT. 
to make it a success.” 
As soon as the Handicap Committee ended its delight¬ 
ful duties, June 1-5, in Mr. Elmer E. Shaner’s room, 
Palmer House, Chicago, he courteously bowed them out 
and energetically proceeded, with the help oi his able 
lieutenant, Mr. J. K. Starr, to prepare the story of the 
handicapping, and the handicaps, for the daily press, 
for which the alert young newsgatherers had been in 
attendance several times while the committee was in 
session. All of which goes to show that it is no easy 
task to act as the Interstate Association Secretary, man¬ 
ager, handicapper, press agent and bureau for listening 
to the grievances of all concerned. However, Mr. 
Shaner does all these things, and is constantly tranquil, 
though busy.

For the week ending June 8 , Mrs. Adolph Topper- 
wein’s scores, shooting Dead Shot smokeless -»tvere as 
follows: Columbus, Neb., June 2, at 100 targets, broke 
96—high; Omaha, Neb., June 3, at 100 targets, broke 91; 
Omaha, Neb., June 4, at 200 targets, broke 158; Omaha, 
Neb., June 5, at 200 targets, broke 191, second profes¬ 
sional; Omaha, Neb., June 6 , at ,200 targets, broke 177; 
Big Lake, Mo., June 7, at 200 targets, broke 188, high. 
The weather at Omaha was exceptionally bad. It rained 
very hard, and the wind was so high on the 4th and 5th 
that it was almost impossible for Mrs. Topperwein to 
stand on her feet. Her shooting was wonderful under 
the circumstances. Her score of 191 o.ut of 200 was one 
target behind high gun on the 5th. At Big Lake, Mo., 
she was high gun over all. * 
Bernard Waters. 
Garfield Gun Club. 
Chicago, June 15. —To-day being the first shoot of 
the second series, we had a very small attendance, only 
thirteen shooters showing up. The day being excellent 
for trapshooting, quite a number of our members went 
to the Chicago Gun Club to get acquainted with the 
grounds and traps to put themselves in shape as much 
as possible, as they are entered in the Grand American 
Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, Mass., June 5. —What would have.been quite 
the nicest shoot held for some time in this section was 
marred considerably by weather conditions somewhat 
unsuitable for the enjoj'able side of trapshooting. ^ How¬ 
ever, just half a hundred of Boston and vicinity s elite 
trapshooting contingent- were present, and it is safe to 
say that not many idle moments were found during the 
entire programme. 
To enumerate the attendance would be a Herculean 
task, each gun club within easy reaching distance of 
the grounds having its representative either in shooting 
trim or as a spectator. Among the most prominent 
of the gathering were Mayor E. E. Reed, of Man¬ 
chester, N. H.; P. H. Powel and C. M. Hughes (the 
whole push at Newport); Roy D. Hodsdon, of Water- 
town- H. Boynton and J. C.' Burns, of Lowell; T. P. 
Hewins and E. U. IwWerks, of South Framingham; C. 
F Kneil of Brockton; Arthur and Cliff Randall, and 
Bob Foster, of Portland; Hugh Bain, of Providence; 
C P. Keeler, of Attleboro; Buff Smith with all his 
usual trapshooters and good fellows’ paraphernalia, wear¬ 
ing the smile that never vanishes; the B. A. A. boys, 
five in all—Owen, Ellis, Adams, Blinn, Gleason, and not 
to forget the experts, O. R. Dickey, A. E. Sibley, M. 
Ballou, H. B. Temby and G. U. Wheeler, a.s shooters, 
and the inimitable Jack Brinley as custodian of the 
score board. 
The team match on the first day, as usual, proved the 
most exciting, though the Middlesex team was easily 
the strongest both on paper and platform; but a most 
unfortunate fail-down on one of their most reliable tpen 
brought the score much closer than it would otherwise 
have been. The second team of the same club captured 
second honors, Capt.-Gen. Burns and Corp. Carvei 
keeping their men in good fighting trim, the former 
with a 27 for a total and the latter as end man—no 
small position when scores are close. Watertown and 
Boston tied for third honors, the former’s president hav¬ 
ing a bad half hour that meant a good deal. As it is 
so seldom, however, that this is the case, every one was 
willing to live and forget. 
The interesting feature of the second day was the State 
challenge match, which ended in a clean victory for the 
pride of Manchester, with a clean slate, one of the 
prettiest pieces of shooting during the two days. Each 
target was centered with that determination that the 
boys know Gene is noted for, and a more popular win 
could hardly be imagined. Scores:
