Pahquioque Rod and Gun Club. 
Danbury, Conn. — At the annual tournament of the 
Pahquioque Gun Club, R. Hollister, of the Hartford Gun 
Club, won the State championship. The Danbury five- 
man ’team won the team race. 
The tournament was held at the Tamarack ground, on 
Tuly 30, was the largest and most successful in every 
way the club has ever held. There were present eighty- 
six shooters, all shooting the entire program of 150 tar¬ 
gets. Not only was Connecticut well represented, with 
Bridgeport sending up thirty, piloted by Capt. Southey; 
New Haven, fifteen, with Browny Robertson at the helm, 
and Long Hill was represented by several, this being 
a new club. Waterbury sent J. Draher and several 
others. Hartford was well looked after with L. Bradley 
(who made them all step), R. McFetridge and R. 
Flollister. Rockville, by the State champion, Harry Met¬ 
calf, and H. Barstow. 
We missed last-year’s champion, H. L. Edgerton, who 
was sick and could not be with us. 
The club felt honored by the presence of John Philip 
Sousa, who has been here two years. M. E. S. Rogers, 
president of the Cleveland, Gun Club, was with Mr. 
Sousa. They both said we had it on any club they had 
seen in running a tournament, and would be on hand 
next year. 
Evei^thing was carefully planned for the comfort 01 
the shooters, and the program was finished so every one 
had ample time to get his train. 
The club received the heartiest congratulations of the 
visiting shooters on having such a list of prizes, the 
like never before equaled in New England. W. E. Day. 
chairman of the prize committee, is responsible for get- 
ing such a list. 
The club was fortunate in securing the services of 
Geo. Ginn to take charge of the office, and his as¬ 
sistants were Geo. Hall and W. E. Day, of the local 
club. Everything went very smooth, as they are past- 
masters of the game. Secretary E. H. Bailey and 
Captain W. G. Olmstead had charge of the squad, and 
with the assistance of the other members, they kept 
the shooting progressing rapidly, as they were after 
them every minute. 
Jack Fanning and C. W. Stevens looked after the 
posting of the scores. You know when Jack does any¬ 
thing it’s all right. 
It was evident from the start that there would be 
some records made. A straight was very common. 
II. Herman, of Philadelphia, was the star of the day, 
he making a run of 77 and a total of 148 out of 150 fer 
the program. W. G. Olmstead, a local shooter, was go¬ 
ing some, too, as he cleaned up his first three events 
with 50 straight, missing the 57th target and finishing 
with L. IT. Bradley, of Hartford, in a tie for second 
honors of the day with 141 out of 150. R. plollister, of 
Hartford; G. Van Stone, of Bridgeport; H. \V. Barstow, 
of Rockville; C. W. Stevens and \\ . A. Gregory, of Dan¬ 
bury, followed along very close. 
Among the professionals was H. L. Brown. He and 
Neaf Apgar tied for high honors with 147 out of 150. 
M. Rose, of Newark, got the Ithaca gun with 25 straight. 
R. HOLLISTER. 
\\'inner of Connecticut Arfiateur Championship at Danbury. 
Jack Fanning was third, J. A. R. Elliott fourth. Each 
one got a Danbury hat. 
Besides the shooters there were many spectators, in¬ 
cluding many ladies. One of the fiercest thunderstorms 
Droke out in the afternoon, but lasted only a halt hour. 
The event in which the most interest was centered was 
the Connecticut State championship. Up to the last 
event there were Metcalf, bradley, Hollister and \ an 
Stone (with omy 6 down out of 80), Gregory, Stevens, 
Olmstead, Clark, of the local shooters, and F. S. 
Herman, of New Haven. Excitement was high as each 
one shot. Gregory was out first, he getting 91 out of 
100 with Hollister and Metcalf up. Metcalf dropped 
three, which put him out, and Hollister accounted for 
all of his but one, making him 93 out of 100. Olmstead 
and Bradley were the next to drop by the wayside, 
Bradley getting 92 out of 100 and Olmstead 91 out of 100. 
Van Stone dropped 17, with Stevens up. He had to ac¬ 
count for them all to tie, and it looked as if he would, 
as he centered every target, and when the last one went 
out he missed it, making him 92 out of 100. He won 
the championship of Danbury if he did not get the 
other. F. Clark was the last to shoot, he dropping his 
first target, making him 90 out of 100. Hollister was the 
man of the day. 
The team race was the next most interesting, as the 
different clubs had it out several times this season. 
W hen the Danbury team No. 1 got started, it was evi¬ 
dent they were out to win. as they scored 91 out of 100 
for the first 300, then 89 and the last 92 out of 100, mak¬ 
ing a total of 453 out of 500. This is the best score 
in. de by any team in the State. 
In the special Ithaca gun event, with four other 
prizes beside the gun, there were twenty entries. \V. 
Rose, from 18yds., got his 25 straight. D. Hall, 18yds., 
and L. \\ ilson, 18yds., tied with 24, and Gregory, 19yds., 
Herman. 21yds., \ an Stone, 19yds., and Barstow, 19yds.,
