Perry Tournament. 
Perry, N. Y., July 23.—The midsummer registered 
tournament of the Perry Rod and Gun Club was held 
at Perry, N. Y., Thursday, July 23. The weather con¬ 
ditions were good. 
There was a fair attendance of shooters, Bradford, Pa., 
being represented by nine members of the Bradford Gun 
Club, who came all the way in automobiles. East 
Aurora, Buffalo, Batavia, Baldwinsville, Avon, Weeds- 
port, Cohocton and nearby towns were also represented, 
besides the local club members. 
Two automatic traps were used, and the events, com¬ 
prising 150 targets, were completed in five hours. 
High amateur and general average for the regular 
events were won by the veteran trapshooter, F. D. Ki 
sey, of East Aurora, N. Y., who broke 124 out of 120 
targets. 
High professional average was won by R. S. Pringle, 
who broke 122 out of 130. 
The merchandise event was won by Jay D. Greene, 
of Avon, N. Y., from the scratch mark, 20yds. He v\as 
t:ed with a perfect score of 20 breaks by two contestants, 
whom he defeated in the shoot-off, miss-and-out. The 
prize he won is a handsome Baker gun. 
Mr. IT. H. Stevens very efficiently conducted the office 
work, being assisted by the club secretary, Dr. \V. J. 
Austin. Following are the scores:

Midsummer 
Tournament at Wilmington 
Wilmington, Del., July 23.- -The midsummer tourna¬ 
ment of the Wilmington Gun Club was held here yester¬ 
day, with over forty shooters in attendance. The weather 
was far too warm and sultry for comfort, while the trap 
acted in a mean manner and threatened once to give 
out altogether. It held on, however, and the programme 
of 180 targets was finished late in the day, and with a 
heavy thunderstorm imminent, by a few amateurs and 
manufacturers’ representatives, the balance of the shoot¬ 
ers having hurriedly left the scene for a more assured 
shelter. 
The shooting was very hard, not so much owing to the 
distance the targets were thrown, but because the targets 
took all sorts of curves, and few, if anv, rotated satis¬ 
factorily. Scores therefore were not high, but J. M. 
Hawkins, handicapped at 20vds., broke 143 out of 180 and 
won high average. Geo. S. McCarty, of Philadelphia, 
who was on the same mark, broke one less, 142, and 
won high amateur average. 
Event No. 7 was the merchandise event at 25 targets. 
In this Geo. S. Burroughs and Charlie Springer, both 
of this city, broke 22 and tied for first and second 
choice." W. Edmundson had third choice with 21 breaks. 
A special event was shot over two expert traps. This 
was a race at double targets, three prizes being offered 
for competition, the prizes to go to the men making the 
longest, second longest and third longest runs respec¬ 
tively; no one man to win more than one prize. 
Charlie Mink, of Blackwood, N. J., won first prize with 
a run of 30 consecutive breaks, a rattling good exhibi¬ 
tion. W. M. Foord was second with two runs of 17 
straight; Jack Graham, the skipper of Gen. T. C. Du 
Pont’s yacht Tech, was third with 16 breaks. 
Taking the shoot as a whole, it was a success, and will 
undoubtedly be repeated next summer, but the manage¬ 
ment will see to it that the trap or traps used will be 
in the best of shape for that tournament. The scores 
were:
