to 763.

Secretary J. W. White writes us that the Mohawk 
Gun Club, of Schenectady, N. Y., will hold an all-day 
shoot on Sept. 29. 
The events of the Red Hook, N. Y., Gun Club, pre¬ 
sented for competition at its tournament, Sept. 24, total 
200 targets, instead of 100, as erroneously stated last 
week. 
The third Cosmopolitan Championship, to be held 
under the auspices of the Bergen Beach Gun Club, 
Oct. 12, will have for prizes a sterling silver trophy and 
$25 in gold, donated by Capt. H. W. Dryer, for the 
winner. A silver trophy will be the prize for second 
and third places, and $5 in gold will go to each of the 
winners of the next seven places. The conditions are 
100 targets, high guns. There will be a $5 optional 
sweep, one money to each four entries, high guns. 
There also will be two additional events, 25 targets each, 
$2.50 entrance, class shooting, moneys divided 30, 25, 20, 
15 and 10 per cent. 
The Bergen Beach Gun Club will give a series of three 
shoots, to be held respectively on Sept. 13, Nov. 8 and 
Dec. 13. There will be three classes, A, B and C, with 
a first prize donated for each class by Mr. J. H. Van- 
derveer. Second and third prizes will be provided by the 
club. Conditions of each event will be 50 targets, $1 
entrance. 
The programme of the Indianapolis, Ind., Gun Club 
tournament, Sept. 15 and 16, is alike each day. There 
are five 20-target events, $2 entrance; three merchandise 
events, 25 targets each, 50 cents entrance, and one at 
25 targets, $2.50 entrance. Totals, 200 targets, $14 en¬ 
trance each day, with $1 extra for the Squier money- 
back system. Shooting will begin at 9:30. Dinner 
served on the grounds. Shells will be on sale. The 
merchandise list is long and spirited.

At the tournament of the Monongahela Valley Sports¬ 
men’s League, Morgantown, W. Va., Sept. 3, Mr. W. A. 
Wiedebusch made high average with 187 out of 200. He 
broke 99 out of his last 100, and made a run of 90. 
Mr. Lee Johnson, of Clarksburg, won the individual 
championship for the month. The two-man team race 
was won by Messrs. Johnson and Hill, with a total of 
36 out of 40. The five-man team race was won by 
Clarksburg with 80 out of a possible 100.

An excellent report of the Pacific Coast Handicap will 
be found elsewhere in our trap columns this week. The 
entries were gratifyingly large in number, and the qual¬ 
ity of the competition was of a high order. Mr. Dick 
Clancy was high professional in the Preliminary Handi¬ 
cap, breaking 94 from the 18yd. mark, one more than 
his fellow professionals, the renowned Messrs. Fred 
Gilbert and Jack Forbes, scored, the former from 21yds. 
Carl Adelmann, of Boise, won the Preliminary after a 
shoot-off with Mr. Ed. Ellis, on a tie of 93. The Pacific 
Coast Handicap was the main event. It was won by 
Mr. John Noel, of Nashville, Tenn., after shooting off 
a tie on 96 with Mr. F. E. Foltz. In the tie, Noel broke 
20 straight to 17 by his opponent. Mr. James T. Skelly, 
a member of the board of directors and of the tournament 
committee, made the presentation speeches when the 
trophies were presented to the winners.

Pacific Coast Handicap. 
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 27.—Fourth Pacific Handicap, 
held under the auspices of the Interstate Association, at 
Seattle, Aug. 24-26, goes into history as the best of its 
kind yet held west of the Rocky Mountains. Never 
before has the entrance reached 100, but here the first 
day’s line-up assured an average safely within the three 
figures. Some of the super-optimistic boosters had pre¬ 
dicted a total of 200 entries, but this is reaching too far 
for a country where the mileage is necessarily so long 
as in these newer States. The people of the West ap¬ 
preciate the action of the Interstate Association in re¬ 
establishing the Coast circuit, and unquestionably this 
is a wise decision, in view of the fact that the proportion 
of men who shoot is larger in the West as compared to 
population than anywhere else on this continent; and 
the further fact that the center of population is still 
shifting westward, and the time not far distant when the 
Pacific Slope will not need to borrow from other sections 
to hold up its end. 
For the success of this tournament particular credit 
is due to the officers and members of the West Seattle 
Gun Club, the Seattle Gun Club and the good fellows 
generally who backed the game in this city. Invariably 
when a success of this kind is scored the brunt of the 
battle must have been borne by one or two men, and 
on this occasion the good Indians were A. L. Mottinger 
and A. L. Hall, president and secretary of the West 
Seattle Club. They worked like yeomen for months, 
getting all the details fixed, and truly may it be said 
that their work was well done. 
The grounds were beautifully located on the tide 
flats at the head of Elliott Bay, on land nominally 
leased to the club for the occasion by E. E. Ellis, 
general agent of the Union Pacific in Seattle. For 
background there was a thousand miles of Puget Sound, 
stretching north to Alaska, and in the immediate fore¬ 
ground a line of Uncle Sam’s battleships riding peace¬ 
fully at anchor. 
Elmer Shaner, the ever genial and indispensable secre¬ 
tary-manager of the Interstate Association, arrived only 
a day ahead of the shoot, having been called home from 
the Western Handicap at St. Paul on the sad mission 
of paying the last tribute to his dear mother. He was, 
however, preceded by Charlie North with his ever happy 
word and smile that has smoothed over the rough places 
in a tournament so often on those occasions when 
things inanimate seem possessed of a pervese incentive 
to go “dead wrong.” Pie it was who saw to the installa¬ 
tion and regulation of the five Leggett and Leggett Ideal 
traps, so that on the morning of practice day the mechan¬ 
ical end was moving with the precision of clock-work. Mr. 
Shaner's master hand also set the office forces going 
in the grooves of his famous system, and by Monday 
noon things were truly “ready for the fray.” 
With Shaner and North in the field, and the office 
work handled by Mottinger, Hall, H. O. Richards, Wal¬ 
ter Tuttle and E.. S. MacColl, nothing remained except 
for the shooters to go to the firing line and furnish the 
sports. This they proceeded to do after the high 
standard of marksmanship established in previous events 
this year. 
Trade interests were well represented. The personnel 
of the forces and their companies, all members of the 
Interstate Association, were as follows: 
For U. M. C.-Remington: Tom A. Marshall, Frank C. 
Riehl, Harry Ellis, E. S. MacColl and G. H. Garrison. 
For Winchester Repeating Arms Co.: L. R. Barclay, 
Fred Gilbert, Chris. Gottlieb, Ed. Morris and James Lee. 
For the Peters Cartridge Co.: Lester Reed, H. E. 
Poston and W. L. Robertson. 
For Selby Smelting & Lead Co.: Charles McA. Logan. 
W. F. Willet and J. A. Forbes. 
For Du Pont Powder Co.: J. T. Skelly, C. A. Haight, 
W. A. Robertson, Peter Houlohan, Fred Gilbert and 
E. G. White. 
For Ballistite and Empire: PI. W. Vietmeyer and D. 
W. King. 
For Dead Shot Powder Co.: Ed. O’Brien and R. W. 
Clancy. 
For Cleveland Trap & Target Co.: C. A. North. 
Practice Day. 
Although many of the visiting sportsmen could not 
resist the temptation of a first look at the fair, seventy- 
three shooters faced the trap Monday to measure their 
skill against the flight of the elusive clay disk. Every¬ 
thing was about right, and many good scores were made. 
Fred Gilbert and Frank Riehl. professionals, and Fred 
Dryden, of Walla Walla, for the amateurs, put up the 
leading scores of 97 out of the 100. The scores are 
appended: 
Aug. 24, First Day. 
\\ ith a clear sky and cool breeze sweeping in from 
the salt water, combining to make conditions about as 
pleasant as one could wish, the first gun was fired at 
9:09 A. M. on the first day, and so well did things 
move along that with an hour out at noon for refreshments 
the programme of 175 targets was finished by 4 P. M. 
The scores averaged higher than ever in any preceding 
Pacific Coast shooting event. Barclay, Gilbert and 
O’Brien were in perfect form, with honors in the bal¬ 
ance right up to the last event, Barclay winning with 
only four down out of 155 shot on the regular pro¬ 
gramme at singles; Gilbert and O’Brien tied, only one 
bird behind with five to the bad. In the amateur ranks 
Guy Dering, of Columbus, Wis., was the one bright par¬ 
ticular star, finishing ahead of all the field, including 
professionals, with only three scored lost. In the event 
at doubles Gilbert made the only perfect score, and 
Dering again led the amateurs with 19 to his credit. 
Event 8 was at 10 pairs. Scores:
