July 4, 1908.] 
The Dupont Powder Co. was represented as follows: 
Wm. Coyne, director of sales; J. T. Skelly, manager of 
the sporting powder division, with Edward Banks and 
T. E. Doremus, his assistants in the office at Wilming¬ 
ton, Del.; W. J. McMannis, manager of the Dupont 
Pittsburg office, and C. W, Phellis, manager of that 
company’s Huntington, W. Va., office; E. A. W. 
Everitt, ballistic engineer, with headquarters at Haskell, 
N. J.; Ed. II Taylor and P. N. Denison, traveling sales¬ 
men, who put in a few days visiting and watching the 
shooting; L. Z. Lawrence, an attache of the contractor’s 
division at Wilmington. Also the following direct rep- 
| resentatives of the sporting powder division in the field: 
W. Fred Quimby, Fred Gilbert, Walter Huff, J. S. 
Fanning, L. J. Squier, W. D. Stannard, C. O. LeCompte, 
Lester S. German D. D. Gross, Russell Klein, John 
W. Garrett, Arthur Killam and Ed. G. White, the 
latter being the company’s Canadian representative. 
The spirit of the aboriginal ancestor, who was the first 
discoverer of the simple life and of the benefits of food 
uncooked, still prevails. When at the Grand American 
Handicap a group was informed that the great band 
master, John Philip Sousa, was at the score, a look of 
joint wonderment was bestowed on himself. Some 
| wag then stated that Mr. Seneca G. Lewis, a gentleman 
who is truly gracious in speech and manner always, was 
, no other than the renowned pugilist, Kid Lewis, where- 
! upon the glories of the bandmaster faded instantly, and 
the supposed pugilist was the center of admiration. 
Music is all right in its place, nevertheless. 
Bandmaster John Philip Sousa established long- 
j distance communication w T ith most of his targets, and, 
i when he hit one, his bland repose of manner was not 
disturbed in the least. When he missed one, his 
benevolent expression changed not, nor did he make 
I any audible comments, all of which were in towering 
contrast to the mannerisms of a few others. 
The Hunter Arms Co., of Fulton, N. Y., was repre- 
i sented by Mr. Harvey McMurchy, who also is a mem¬ 
ber of the tournament committee. 
The American Powder Mills, of Boston, was repre- 
| sented by Mr. Murray Ballou, Mr. R. R. Barber and Mr. 
H. S. Welles. 
The Marlin Fire Arms Co. was represented by Mr. 
Charles Porter, of New Haven, and Mr. W. B. Darton. 
The Lefever Arms' Co., of Syracuse, N. Y., was 
represented by Mr. A. H. Durston and Mr. Montgomery. 
The Ballistite interests were represented by Mr. R. 
A. Lau, of J. H. Lau & Co., New York, and Mr. H. 
W. Vietmeyer, of Chicago, and S. Glover. 
Parker Brothers of Meriden, Conn., was represented 
by Mr. Wilbur F. Parker, who also is president of the 
■ Interstate Association, and Lieut. A. W. du Bray. 
The Dickey Bird Target and Trap Co. was represented 
by Mr. W. H. Tefft and Mr. Harry Sherman. The 
latter had charge of traps Nos. 1 and 2, and was also 
; a general assistant of the management. 
The Western Cartridge Co. was represented by the 
president, Mr. F. W Olin; the secretary, A. J. Norcom. 
and Mr. H. L. Brown, of Newark, N. J., the latter a 
representative in the East. 
A most beautiful thought and act were those pertain¬ 
ing to the hanging of the British flag over the main 
entrance to the club house, with an American flag 
draped at each end o' it. This was the result of the 
j! friendly sentiment of Mr. J. A. R. Elliott, the expert 
| trapshooter, who provided the flags and hung them up. 
Every one proclaimed it an admirable idea and act, and 
it was specially gratifying to the Canadian sportsmen 
who were present. 
Ohio was far in the lead in respect to the number of 
Grand American Handicap entrants. They numbered 
quite a bit over one-third of the whole. The great ma¬ 
jority of the total number of entrants was from the 
Middle West, that is the water shed of the Mississippi 
River. They were a magnificent gathering of skilful 
shooters and good sportsmen. 
The crop of hard-luck stories was unusually large, as 
is always the case when there are target to break, wind 
to disturb the targets, and trouble to raise the wind. 
The restaurant service was unusually good, sub- 
j stantial and generous in quantity. A large tent, with 
half-raised walls, afforded shelter for the diners. After 
one of the substantial meals, served by the Busy Bee 
Catering Co., was eaten, there was no room for a kick, 
nor anything to kick at. 
Mr. Arthur Gambell, many years the efficient manager 
of the Cincinnati Gun Club, but now a resident of 
Covington, Ky., was in attendance in the capacity of 
visitor and photographer, in which _ business he is now 
engaged professionally. He excels in the art, and took 
many excellent photographs of individuals, groups, etc. 
I Never was there a better behaved or more sympathetic 
gathering. When the ties were being shot off, there 
was the utmost quiet till a target was missed, when 
long drawn-out oh’s in tones of true sympathy would 
be chorused down the line. In no place on the globe 
could the under dog feel more pleasant. 
Manager Shaner was much perturbed over the non- 
appearance of the trophies, which had been sent by 
express from New York in ample time to arrive in 
j Columbus, and to hand before the main events began. 
( Mr. Shaner, for the time being, was from Missouri, and 
he kept the wires hot to be shown about it. A tracer 
was sent out, with the result that the trophies were 
traced to a gun store in Columbus, from the gun store 
to Supt. Shattuck, thence to a pile of empty boxes out 
of doors, which reposed as refuse matter. At this point, 
words failed. 
Mr. E. Reed Shaner is an object lesson in respect to 
the power of heredity. He was assistant manager of 
the tournament, and already has all the minutia of the 
management at his finger tips, whether in respect to 
the office work or the outside management. 
A large box kite, a fickle wind and two men were in a 
struggle every day throughout the tournament. The 
kite would rise anywhere from a few feet to several 
hundred yards, and about the time that hope was 
strong that the men would succeed, the wind would 
fail and the kite would come down with great determina- 
• tion and success. And so it went time and time again 
throughout the live long day. As it was in plain sight 
before the shooters it was a source of great annoyance 
to them, as a moving object distracts the eye from the 
FOREST AND STREAM. 
target. Mr. J. A. R. Elliott, just before lining up to 
shoot, confided to the management his opinion of the 
kite in manner childlike and bland, and suggested that 
it be squelched. Then he went to the score and missed 
several targets and looked pleasant. 
The reports of the great tournament, published by the 
daily press, were unusually correct and well written. 
That published by the Ohio State Journal was enlivened 
by the cartoons of the shooters. They were made by the 
talented artist of the Journal, Mr. Westerman, and 
possessing true merit, they occasioned much merriment 
among the shooters and were eagerly looked for from 
day to day. The excellence of the reports becomes at 
once obvious when it is mentioned that they were 
written by Mr. Edward Banks, of the Dupont Co. A 
rather humorous phase of Mr. Westerman’s efforts was 
his failure to secure a cartoon of Mr. Shaner; for, after 
many repeated and prolonged efforts, he had to admit 
total failure because Shaner was not long enough in one 
place, nor in repose at any time. He was here and 
away, and there and gone. 
Mr. Fred Shattuck, secretary of the Columbus Gun 
Club, worked like a beaver to make his part in the 
tournament thoroughly efficient. He had charge of the 
crews which manned the traps, and he succeeded well, as 
the record of thrown targets will show. 
An esteemed and all too rare visitor was “U. M. C.” 
Thomas, of Bridgeport, Conn., famous in the realm of 
ballistic doings and successes. The exercise his good 
right arm obtained in friendly handshakes obviates any 
need of physical culture of it in several weeks at least. 
His daughter and grandchildren were in attendance with 
him one day at the handicap, a reunion which brought 
gladness to the heart of the veteran. May his years be 
long in the land. 
The Chamberlin Cartridge & Target Co. was repre¬ 
sented by Mr. Paul North, Mr. A. Barton and Charles 
A. North, the latter having charge of traps Nos. 4, 5 
and 6. He also made himself generally useful in assisting 
to conduct the shoot. 
The number of entrants, while smaller than that of 
some of the preceding great Interstate Association tour¬ 
naments, was more than one could reasonably expect, 
considering the hard times. That times are hard, no 
one knows better than the manufacturers of guns, 
powders, shells, etc.; for under economic conditions 
whch enforce retrenchment, the luxuries of life are the 
first to go. The large entry, under the adverse indus¬ 
trial conditions, may well be accepted as a sign that 
good times are coming and are almost here. 
Montclair Gun Club. 
Montclair, N. J., June 27.—This club was favored with 
four visitors to-day, Messrs. Leahy, Owen, Reynolds 
and Medler, and this fact, in connection with the 
presence of two new members, Messrs Olds and Deane, 
brought the attendance up to fourteen, an unusually 
large number for this time of the year. Seven events 
were run off, the first two for practice, the other four 
trophy events. Event No. 3 was won by Colquitt, with 
44 breaks to his credit. Event No. 4, for a consolation 
prize, 10 targets, handicaps—handicaps half of the 
missed targets of the previous event—was tied by four 
men, Messrs. Owen, Winslow, Leahy and Reynolds, 
who decided to divide the box of cigars coming to them. 
Event 5, the fifth leg for the Ballistite trophy was won 
by Balten, with a full score of 25. Scores:

Every one who owns a dog should possess this invalu¬

been pronounced by a competent authority far ahead of 
any other work yet attempted upon the subject. The 
minuteness with which every detail is considered leaves 
little or nothing for any future work to attempt. Es¬ 
pecially important chapters are those on eczema, the 
different kinds of mange, poisons, distemper, hydro¬ 
phobia, ear and eye diseases, vaginal diseases, diseases 
of the urinary and sexual organs, and pneumonia (an 
especially valuable contribution), also the portions of 
the work which are devoted to symptoms and diagnosis 
The work is entirely devoid of technical terms and is 
written in such entertaining style, that any one with a 
love of dogs would find it not only valuable and help¬ 
ful, but interesting as well. y
