At the shoot of the Pahquioque Gun Club, of Danbury, 
Conn., July 31, the contest for the gold watch and chain, 
which was high average prize, narrowed down to Mr. J. 
Noel, of the Yale Gun Club, and Mr. H. L. Edgarton, 
of Willimantic, the former winning with a total of 152 
to *50 out of a possible 160. Of the professionals, Mr.

145; Mr. F. E. Butler, 133, and Mr. Gil Wheeler, 120. 
Mr. Edgarton won the State championship with 96 out

contested: team No. 2 of the Pahquicques winning with 
a total of 436.

Mr. D. A. Upson scored 48 out of 50 from scratch 
in the contest for the Telling Brothers’ Cup, at the 
shoot of the Cleveland, O., Gun Club, Aug. 7. Mr. 
John Flick, also a scratch man, scored 46. With the aid 
of their target allowance of three, Messrs. Freeman, 
Scott and Burns, scored 47. Upson is shooting in fine 
form, and the signs indicate that he will be the cup 
winner eventually. In the Rogers gun contest, he 
scored 47 from the 21yd. mark, defeating eight com¬ 
petitors, which is a first-class performance. 
Word reaches us that Charles B. Bristol, of New 
Haven, Conn.j passed away at his home, 82 Greene 
street, on July 26. His death was caused by heart 
failure, after a brief illness of one week. He was an 
enthusiastic, skillful trapshooter. We take the following 
from the New Haven Register: “Mr. Bristol was in his 
eighty-second year. He was born in Cheshire, the son of 
George Bristol, a farmer in that place. When he was 
ten years old Mr. Bristol manifested a strong interest 
in shooting, and with his first savings bought a gun. 
Since that time he had been an enthusiast with the rod 
and gun. He was one of the oldest members of the 
New Haven Gun Club, and was at one time one of its 
directors. He always took a keen interest in the affairs 
of the club and seldom missed one of the shoots. He 
was one of the best shots in the State, and only a year 
ago, in spite of his advanced age, went out to the gun 
club and made a clean score of 15 birds at the traps. 
He always attended the State gun club shoots. He was 
known far and wide among professional shooters. Mr. 
Bristol was an expert with the rod and line too. Few 
fishermen knew more about the favorite fishing spots 
or had better luck than he. For years he leased a 
cottage at Mansfield’s grove near the East Haven River, 
and it was his custom to go down there when the blues 
and blackfish were running. Up to about twenty years 
ago Mr. Bristol was superintendent for the W. & E. 
T. Fitch Company, manufacturers of saddlery hardware 
in East street. During his service with that concern 
he invented a number of improvements in saddlery hard¬ 
ware, from which he received royalties. He was at one 
time active as an officer of the First Universalist Church 
in Orange street. He was affectionately called by his 
closest friends “Pop” Bristol. A host of sportsmen 
throughout the State will regret to learn of his death. 
Mr. Bristol is survived by his widow; a brother, Lam¬ 
bert J. Bristol, of Fair Haven. He also leaves a niece, 
Mrs. Waldo H. Minor, the wife of a physician and 
dentist of this city.”

Pahquioque Rod and Gun Club. 
Danbury, Conn. — The Pahquioque Gun Club, of 
Danbury, Conn., feel well repaid for the time and pains 
they had taken in preparing the annual registered tour¬ 
nament held Saturday, July 31. 
There were seventy-five who shot the programme, and 
that means 12,000 targets. All the programme was shot, 
and the shooters got their trains, but owing to the bad 
lot of targets which the club was unfortunate enough 
to have, the average prizes could not be given out. 
Every one present pronounced it the best tournament 
held in the State this year, and the club had many com¬ 
pliments as to the management, as everything ran along 
like clock-work. Geo. Ginn and Geo. Hall were at the 
helm, and Wm. Day and President Daly assisted them. 
Capt. W. G. Olmstead and E. H. Bailey looked after 
the squads, and when some of the shooters could not 
catch their trains and finish the programme, Capt. 
Olmstead let every shooter who had to catch a train 
shoot up, and they were much pleased. Every club 
member did his part, and did it well. There were no 
drones around. 
At the outset it could be seen there was a battle 
royal on for high average, as the best shots in the State 
were here after the high average prize, a solid gold watch 
and chain. Harry Metcalf, of Rockville, who has held 
the State championship for three years; H. L. Edgerton, 
who always makes the boys look and take notice; J. 
Conlin, of Unionville; L. Bradley, of Hartford; E. 
Southby, and a good bunch fropt Bridgeport; Dr. Smith, 
Ed. Kelly, F. S. Norman and Browny Robertson, of 
New' Haven; J. Noel, of Yale Gun Club, was also here; 
Stamford and Seymore also sent a good delegation. 
A. Betti, of Mt. Kisco; H. L. Lee, of Lenox, and L. 
Foote, of Pittsfield, together with our own boys, who 
are always to be counted on at the finish. 
At the finish it was between Noel and Edgerton, who 
were shooting a great race, Noel winning out by two 
targets, breaking 152 out of 160. Edgerton, 150, with 
the nearest score; E. Southern 144, and the others 
bunched in up to 137. Our own shooters did not do as 
well as usual, but six were in the fifteen high average 
prizes, and that was a pretty good showing. 
L. S. German led the professionals with 151—Noel 
getting one more than he; O. R. Dickey second, 146; 
T. A. R. Elliott third, 143; A. Sibley, 135; F. Butler, 
133; Gil Wheeler, 120. 
This is the first time Mr. German has visited Dan¬ 
bury, and he made many friends; all the others are reg¬ 
ular attendants and never miss our annual. 
IT. L. Edgerton won the State championship, breaking 
96 out of 100—the last 100 in the programme to count. 
He certainly had his eye with him, and mashed his 
targets into dust. W. Gregory and J. Derby, of the 
home club, were his nearest competitors with 91 out 
of 100 to their credit. Edgerton can feel proud, as he 
was_ up against the best the State possessed. 
W. Gregory and Jack Derby tied for the Danbury 
championship, on 91 out of J00. Another feature of 
the tournament was the five-man team race. 
There were eight teams entered, and it was a very 
interesting race from start to finish. New Haven, 
Waterbury, Bridgeport, Stamford, Bethel, Seymore and 
Danbury entered two teams. 
The race was close between New Flaven, Bridgeport. 
Stamford and Danbury’s two teams, but it centered 
between New Haven and Danbury. The New Haven 
boys finished strong with 91 out of the last string, with 
Danbury No. 1 team close up. When they finished it 
was New Haven 431; Danbury No. 1, 425. 
All eyes were on No. 2 team, as they had to break 
86 to tie, and they were equal to the occasion and came 
down the line with 91 out of 100 to their credit, winning 
by 5 targets, 436 to 435. 
There were fourteen entries for the special Ithaca gun 
event, Harry Metcalf breaking 24 out of 25, with Gregory, 
Stevens, Conlin and Noel 23 each; Van Storie 22. The 
shoot-off was the best of the day, Conlin dropning out 
and Gregory smashing 24 from 18yds., with Noel 22, 
Stevens 20. 
If it had not been that most of the shooters wanted 
to catch their trains, there would have been twenty-five 
entries for this event. The following are the scores and 
prize winners: 
The first three events constituted a series, open to all. 
First. Southev; second, J. Conlin; third, Dr. Smith; 
fourth, R. Staub; fifth, C. Hull; sixth, S. Thurton; 
seventh, W. Olmstead were the final winners. As this 
was class shooting there were a good many ties. These 
were drawn from the hat. 
Second series, events 3 and 4, for Class B—those 
shooting under 80 per cent, in the first series: First, 
Frank Clark: second. B. Crane: third. Dr. McElligott: 
fourth, E. Stiltz; fifth, F. Ferris; sixth, G. Ferris and
