June 3, Third Day. 
Friday—getaway day—was a little improvement on the 
other days of the shoot. It was still cloudy, but had 
warmed up a trifle. The attendance dropped off a little, 
only eighty-three shooters taking part in the events, 
seventy-five shooting through, lhe program consisted 
of ten 20-target events with a total entrance of $20. The 
amateur State championship, at 10 targets was con¬ 
tested and resulted in a tie between W. Webster, of 
Columbus, and J. Blakeslee, of Cleveland. The shoot-off, 
which took place at the conclusion of the program, was 
hotly contested. Four events were necessary to decide 
the match, which was finally won by Webster by one 
target, a total of 78 out of 80, to 77. The winner was 
warmly congratulated. 
The winner of the gold trophy for high amateur score 
was also decided in a shoot-off between F. Ellett, Gil¬ 
christ and Webster, who tied on 187. 
R. A. King was high amateur with 188, but having 
already won one of the trophies, could not take a second. 
For the same reason C. Powers was not eligible to enter 
the shoot-off, although he also broke 187. The trophy 
was won by Ellett with 19, Webster 18 and Gilchrist 17. 
The gold trophy for longest straight run made during 
the shoot was won by C. Powers with 82 breaks; Blakes¬ 
lee second, 78. The silver loving cup for professional 
long run was won by W. Heer with 104 breaks. W. 
Henderson was second with 100. W. Heer also won 
the gold trophy offered to the professional making high 
average for the three days, his score being 588. 
There were ten high average moneys which were won 
by King 574, Ellett 569, Powers 568, Jennings 567, Valk 
555, Blakeslee, 551, Hopper and Epple 550 each, Gilchrist 
549, Miller, Flick and Cooper 547 each. The high aver¬ 
age moneys were $30, $25, $20, $15 to the first four and 
$10 each to the next six. The extra dollar paid on the 
first day’s entrance provided the purse for low guns, 
and was equally divided among the ten low men. The 
five low guns, whether shooting for money or targets, 
eacTi received handsome trophies donated by friends. 
In all but weather the tournament was the best given 
by the State League since the big shoot held on the 
Cincinnati grounds some years ago. The scores:

New York State Shoot. 
The fifty-second annual State shoot of the New York 
State Sportsmen’s Association was held at Syracuse, 
June 7, 8 and 9. It organized and managed this shoot 
without the “auspices” of any club, the first time it 
has done so in the many years of its existence. It was 
the unanimous opinion that it was a success, though 
there were fewer contestants than were expected. 
the weather, on the whole, was good and favorable, 
excepting that the wind betimes made irregular flights 
with the consequent falling off in the scores of some of 
the shooters. 
Five sets of traps were used, under the expert super¬ 
vision of Charles North, who also made himself useful 
in many other ways, whenever he could be of assistance, 
'lhe grounds of the Onondaga Gun Club, on whoch the 
tournament was held, are situated in a hollow, which is 
irregular,y basin-shaped, and quite picturesque in ap¬ 
pearance. 'lhe wealth of wild June flowers mixed with 
the luxuriant growth of grass in and around the grounds, 
was most pleasing to the eye. No. 1 trap was near 
the bottom of the slope, while the others were placed in 
line diagonally up the side, No. 5 being near the top of 
the rise and therefore much higher than the others. 
No. 1 seemed to otter the most difficult shooting, as a 
grove of trees off toward the left several hundred yards 
away made a dim background. However, the grounds 
would average up well with the general run of grounds. 
They were quite convenient to the trolley line. The 
hotel close by served good meals’, excellent as to quality 
and ample as to quantity, at a reasonable price. 
lhe tournament was managed by H. W. Smith, the 
retiring president. To say that the management was 
efficient would be faint praise. Mr. Smith, equipped with 
a megaphone, kept up the action all the way up and 
down the line, prompting the laggards, deciding points 
of procedure as they arose, answering questions wise and 
foolish, shooting in turn, and all with the most imper- 
turDau.e amiabuity. - i very justly was awarded un¬ 
stinted praise for his efficiency and success. 
Luther J. Squier fined the complex and responsible 
office of cashier, the arduous duties of which even few 
shooters appreciate. The cup events, merchandise event, 
sweepstakes, etc., required a number of large sheets in 
the way of bookkeeping, and all were spread with a 
solid mass of figures at the close of the tournament. 
As to the efficiency of the cashier, all that need be 
said is that the first balance struck on Thursday after¬ 
noon showed the cash to be correct to a cent. 
The tournament was much praisejl in every way, and 
was conducted without a flaw. 
The annual meeting, on the evening of June 6, was 
begun so late that but little business was transacted, 
therefore it was adjourned to the following evening. 
G. H. Pumpelly, of Owego, was elected president, J. H. 
Hendrickson of Jamaica, was re-elected vice-president, 
and YV. H. Hookway, of Syracuse, was elected secretary- 
treasurer. Two directors, E. M. Hurd, of Albany, and 
E. A. Wadsworth, of Wolcott, were elected, and to them 
was left the selection of the place for the shoot next 
year. It was decided that the next shoot shall be open, 
State events excepted. Bergen Beach, Troy and Buffalo 
were mentioned as being under consideration. 
Messrs. Smith and Blandford thought that some one 
should assume the burdens of the office which they had 
so ably filled as president and secretary-treasurer re¬ 
spectively, hence they declined renomination. 
It was decided that a portrait of the late J. N._ Knapp 
would be presented by the association to his family with 
resolutions of condolence. The meeting was well at¬ 
tended, nineteen clubs being represented, and there also 
were a number of individual members present. The 
keenest interest was manifested in the proceedings. A 
distinct and instructive feature of the meeting was a 
masterful speech delivered by the Vice-President, J. H. 
Hendrickson, on the subject of game preservation, the 
duties of gun clubs therewith, and the matter of pro¬ 
tective revenues in a general and particular way. This 
speech was much commended for its soundness and 
pertinence. 
A subscription was taken on the grounds for a 
memorial to the late J. N. Knapp. 
The Buffalo Audubon Gun Club presented three cups 
to the association- for the three days’ general high 
average. 
Monday was practice day, and forty-six shooters par¬ 
ticipated. The program consisted of 120 targets, $1.50 
entrance. Hawkins and Maxwell tied on 117, and 
“Kelly,” amateur, scored 113 out of the total of 120. 
It had no reference to the program. 
On the practice day, 5.160 targets were thrown. On the 
first day 15,140. Second day, 20,150. Third day, 17,700. 
Total, 58,500. Thus the targets contributed $5S5 to the 
money-back purse, which, with 209 entries for the three 
days at $1 each, made a total of $794. From this was 
deducted $200 average, leaving $594 net to pay the losses 
of the contestants who failed to win back an amount 
equal to their entrance fees. Of the sixty-one amateurs, 
thirty-three failed in this respect. 
After paying such losses, there was a surplus of $165.80 
left for the high guns of the three days, as follows: 
Shooting at 500 targets—first, F. S. YV right, of East 
Aurora, 478, $33.15; second, T. E. Clay, 470, $26.50; third, 
G. K. Kouwenhoven (Kelly), 467, $21.55; fourth, J. H- 
Lamphere 461, $16.60; fifth, O. E. Carpenter, 457, $13.25; 
sixth C. L. Frantz, 455, $10.75; seventh, A. E. Conley, 
455, $10.75; eighth, L. H. Schortemeier, 452, $8.30; ninth, 
II YV Smith, 451, $8.30; tenth, C. S. Cottle, 450, $6.65; 
eleventh, R. G. Wheeler, 449, $5; twelfth, C. E. Gammage, 
448, $5. „ . , 
Wright also won the Hurlburt W. Smith cup, emble¬ 
matic of the individual championship of the State of New 
York, the win being determined by high average in all 
the State events, except team and trophy events. It is 
to be competed for in each year up to 1914, when the 
winners will shoot-off for final possession. YVright s per- 
formance marks him as a high class performer. He shot 
with great steadiness and accuracy, and was perfectly 
steady of nerve. „ , , 
It will be noticed that the Squier money-back system 
held the shooters throughout the competition, all shoot¬ 
ing throughout the program with few exceptions. 
The majority of the contestants was made up of what 
is called or originally known as “old-timers.” The same 
names have appeared, some for a shorter number of 
years, some from time immemorial, which goes to show 
that the novice comesi not into State shoot competition 
with the alacrity that the exigencies of the times demand.

June 7, First Day. 
The program of the first day consisted of five 15-target 
events, $1.50 entrance, and five 20-target events, $2.U0 
entrance, with $1 additional for the money-back purse. 
Thus the program totaled 175 targets. The Rose system 
governed, 20-target events having 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points, 
while 15-target events had 5, 3, 2 and 1 points, targets 
were 2 cents. Optional sweeps, $1 entrance, class shoot¬ 
ing, were run in each event. . 
High amateur averages for the day and their winnings 
therewith were as follows: Clay, 165, $10; second, 
Wright, 164, $9.50. Third, Schauffler 163, $7.50; fourtft, 
Kouwenhoven, 163, $7.50; fifth, Stephenson, 16-^ $b.00, 
sixth, Carpenter, 161, $5; seventh, Hurd, 161 $5. 
Shooting began at 9 o’clock and was finished early. 
The weather was calm in the morning, but the wind 
arose as the seventh squad was shooting, blowing from 
the traps to the shooters. , . , , , 
Of the professionals, Hawkins was high for the day 
with 166; Glover, 165; Apgar, 164; Welles, Maxwell, 
German and Stevens, 162 each. . _ 
There were two one-armed men in the contests, oeo. 
Maxwell, professional, of Hastings, Neb., and M. L. 
Willing, amateur, of Mechanicsvilie, N. Y. 
There were eighty-nine contestants of whom sixty-nine
