The daily press recounts the death of J. Palmer O’Neil, 
at his home in Pittsburg, on Jan. 7. He was conspicu¬ 
ous in the gun and ammunition trade in the ’80’s, and 
still more conspicuous in baseball matters at a later 
period. He owned the Pittsburg team in 1890, the year of 
the Brotherhood war, in which year he suffered much 
loss financially. He also was interested in field trials 
in their early years. He was sixty-four years old at the 
time of his death. 
•t 
The first of the series of three shoots for the Fred. A. 
Stone trophy was held by the Bergen Beach, L. I., Gun

Palmer, Jr„ of the Crescent Athletic Club, with a score 
of 46 out of 50. Mr. J. H. Hendrickson was second with 
42. Third was won by Mr. G. Kouwenhoven with 41. 
The second contest is fixed to be held on Feb. 12. Third 
on March 10.

The tournaments for 1908 are being announced early. 
The Grand American Handicap will be held at Columbus, 
O., on June 23-26, and the third Western Handicap 
tournament will be held at Des Moines, la., on. Aug. 
18-20. Clubs which contemplate holding tournaments 
should decide on their dates promptly, else they may 
find that desirable dates are not available without con¬ 
flicting with others. The early bird catches the early 
dates. 
*S

entrance, six of which have $7.50 added money, and an 
eighth, the Houston Chronicle trophy, 100 targets, $10

trance, $100 added; 16yds. rise, and is open only to

Bergen Beach Gun Club. 
Bergen Beach, L. I., Jan. 9.—The shoot of the Bergen 
Beach Gun Club, held to-day, was manifestly an attrac¬ 
tive opportunity for competition, a good number of trap- 
shooters being present. The Fred A. Stone trophy, a 
50-target event, was the main feature of the day’s com¬ 
petition. Mr. L. M. Palmer, Jr., of the Crescent Ath¬ 
letic Club, scored a leg with a total of 46. There are 
to be two more shoots for this cup. Palmer shot con¬ 
sistently well throughout. Mr. J. H. Hendrickson was 
second 1 with 42, and Mr. G. Kouwenhoven was third with 
41. The entrance in 
the trophy 
event 
was 
$1.
