[Aug. 22, 1908. 
Lock Haven Tournament. 
The Lock Haven Gun Club, at Lock Haven, Pa., 
closed its fourth annual target tournament Thursday 
evening, Aug. 13, and the club did itself prouder than 
on any previous occasion. 
Wednesday morning, Aug. 12, opened with a clear 
atmosphere and a bright sun that betokened good cheer 
among the shooters. The shoot had not progressed 
very far before the spectators began to gather, so that 
by 1 o’clock the spacious porch of the large club house 
was filled by ladies and gentlemen, anxious to see the 
experts, “crack a couple” and in the meantime to urge 
on their friends among the amateurs. 
There were 40 entries before the noon hour and that 
giant with the score book, Luther J. Squier, was kept 
hard at it between the events in which he participated. 
Everybody was in the best of spirit and not a hitch 
occurred at either of the two traps during the entire 
two days, due largely to the diligent watchfulness of 
Captain Philip S. Kift, who not only kept the traps 
in perfect order, but also saw to it that the program 
did not at any time drag. At the conclusion of the first 
day’s program the visitors accepted an invitation to a 
complimentary banquet given at the Fallon by the club, 
which was a new feature, and proved to be a social 
affair beyond the expectations of the executive commit¬ 
tee, who had full charge of the program. In the ab¬ 
sence of a bill of fare it would be difficult to enumer¬ 
ate all the dishes that comprised it, but it took in 
everything from fried spring chicken to strawberry rad¬ 
ishes, and the entire list was prepared in such a man¬ 
ner as to fully sustain the reputation of the house. 
After cigars had been lighted and while the aromatic 
curls of rich blue smoke ascended, Philip S. Kift, the 
captain of the club, announced that he had been re¬ 
quested by President C. A. Jobson to act in the ca¬ 
pacity of toastmaster, and in his usual pleasing and 
artistic manner proceeded to call for toasts, prefacing 
each request with a trite and happy remark peculiarly 
pertinent and fitting to the persons called. 
These persons responded in the order named: Messrs 
Squier, Hawkms, Young, Garland, Sked, Leader, Her- 
rald, Longshore, Henline, Rishel, Hess, Speer, Pardee, 
Jobson, Kreamer, Fox. 
At the conclusion of the toasts the visitors were a 
umt in pronouncing the membership of the Lock Haven 
Oun Glub a good bunch” of royal entertainers and 
gave full assurance that they would be on hand at the 
future tournaments. 
The second morning opened bright and clear, and at 
the hour announced the boys were on hand, guns un¬ 
packed and ready for business, so that when the first 
squad was called they were quickly on the score line 
and program progressed with the precision and smooth¬ 
ness characteristic of the first day. 
The prizes in the merchandise events in each day’s 
program were pronounced by visitors the “best ever.” 
to qualify for these two handicap events shooters were 
required to participate in at least two events prior to 
the merchandise events. This scheme worked out the 
Sow P reventin & so many local shooters from 
shooting m this event alone. There were 72 prizes in 
two e Y ents, aggregating $41(1, all contributed by our 
Prising merchants, save the first prize each day 
which was contributed by the club. * 
the first prize of the first day’s program—a $50 bed- 
room suit—-was won by G. B. Uzzle, of Snow Shoe Pa 
•after a hard race in the shootoff with G. S. Speer A H

The unprecedented success of the shoot is due largely 
to the assistance of Mr. Luther J. Squier, who‘ sustained 
his well-earned reputation as a conductor of shoots. 
The boys always have a glad hand and a warm heart 
for Luther. 
The shoot was conducted Jack Rabbit system, optional 
sweepstakes of $1 each event, which caused all shooters 
to leave the grounds satisfied.

Aberdeen Tournament. 
Wilmington, Del., Aug. 13.—Lester S. German, of 
Aberdeen, Md., the well-known representative of the 
Dupont Company, will manage a registered tournament 
on the grounds of his local club Sept. 22 next. Lester 
has a strong leaning toward the sociability side of trap¬ 
shooting tournaments, and is going to make a special 
effort to give all his friends who attend the tournament 
“the time of their lives.” A feature of the tournament 
which will need more particularly a good digestion, as 
well as a good hand and eye, is the chicken and sweet 
corn lunch, which will be served free to all who take 
part in the shoot. One hundred Maryland broilers have 
been sentenced to death for the occasion, and Lester says 
that 1,000 acres of shoe-peg corn will be picket over to 
supply the expected needs of his guests. The pro¬ 
gramme, which will be ready for issue about Sept. 9, will 
contain full particulars regarding all contests, including 
those at targets, chicken and corn cobs, and a letter 
addressed to Mr. German at his home, Aberdeen, Md., 
will bring a programme which we know will be well 
worth studying. The present intentions are to have the 
shoot a handicap—16 to 21yds. No shooting “for targets 
only,” except on the part of those professionals who 
prefer to do so. Particular mention will be made of 
the donation of $10 in gold to go to the party mak¬ 
ing “high average on corn.” Edward Banks. 
Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Aug. 16.—A very pleasant morn¬ 
ing was spent at the traps of the Hudson Gun Club to¬ 
day by the eighteen shooters that attended the regular 
bi-monthly shoot. The morning was perfect for the 
sport, it being cool and shady with just enough wind 
blowing to give the targets a little extra speed, and mak¬ 
ing it hard to get high scores. 
Schorty was high amateur .for the day with 89 per cent., 
this score being exceptionally good, when the fact of his 
shooting several different loads is taken into consider¬ 
ation.- 
are pleased to have them come often.

Sisselon Tournament. 
Sisseton, S. D.—Our tournament was not as well at¬ 
tended, on account of conflicting days with nearby towns 
which held shoots on the same day. The weather was 
fine, except the wind on the first day. W. H. Heer 
made two long straight runs, one of 157 and one of 190 
straight. 
Taylor did fine shooting also. Both are professionals, 
representing the U. M. C. and Remington Arms Co. 
W. S. Magill represented the Dupont Co. Among the 
amateurs, Adkins was high, breaking 253 out of 300; 
Neger, second, 252; Jones, third, 251. 
Martin won the Ithaca gun in the special event.
