•oi e d ^ or targets, $"15 entrance in the sweeps and 
-0 added to the purses by the chib. The Rose system 
»f dividing money was used, which has proven satis- 
actory at other tournaments given by the club. Tar¬ 
gets were included in all entrance at 2 cents each, 
uveepstakes were optional; however, ten shooters shot in 
he sweeps all day. Several others started, but pulled 
■ut and finished for targets only. All shooting was from 
6yds. rise.

ut hv one target; score, Lewis 98 and Sheldon 97.

Hammond Tournament. 
Hammond, Tnd., Sept. 6. —Crack shots from four dif¬ 
ferent States attended the fifth annual tournament of the 
Hammond Gun Club. The affair was deemed the most 
successful ever given by the organization. The grounds 
a- the park were thronged during the day, practically 
all of those taking part in the events bringing their 
iamili.es or friends. Arrangements were made to convey 
the visitors to and from the park, thus doing away with 
any annoyance which poor transportation facilities would 
have afforded. 
Of the forty who participated in the different events, 
many were from four States, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan 
and Ohio." Owing to the large number of participants 
the programme of events was cut down from thirteen to 
ten, and at that the affair was not concluded until dusk. 
.j 1X thousand targets were thrown, which gives some 
l dea of the magnitude of the affair. 
In the amateurs contests, J. S. Young won first 
honors with a score of 146 out of 150 birds shot at. 
Henry Stade was second with 143 and Fred Burnham 
third, with 142. Y ard Burton won the professional shoot 
with a score of 146 out of 150. 
The most exciting event of the day was the special 
^.5-target shoot for a Stevens repeating shotgun. Three 
ties resulted, and as many shoot-offs were required to 
decide the winner. The scores in this event were: 
Joe Young, 18yds. 24

Ascheroken Gun Club.

Ascherocken Gun Club was a great success, and had it 
been a less windy day better scores would have been

Carlin, who broke 7 out of 10 after a 10-bird warmer, she 
having never used a gun before. The scores follow:
