Springfield Tournament. 
The annual registered fall tournament of ihe Spring- 
field, Mass., Shooting Club, on the grounds at Red 
Mouse Crossing, Sept. 5, proved to be, as usual, one 
of the leading trapshooting tournaments of the season, 
attracting thirty-nine shooters, twenty-seven of whom shot 
the entire program of 170 targets in regular events. 1 he 
day turned out an ideal one for shooting, the dull gray 
light causing the targets to show up in fine style, while 
the absence of any wind greatly improved usual con¬ 
ditions, and high scores were the rule. 
During the day 0,600 targets were trapped. High 
amateur average was won by L. H. Bradley, of Hartford, 
Conn., who broke 159 out of 170 targets shot at, and for 
his fine work was awarded a Stevens repeating shotgun. 
Event No. 6 of the regular program was a novelty event 
at 15 pair, and known as the Hunter Arms Co. event, 
and was won by Harry Metcalf, of Rockville, Conn., scor¬ 
ing 26 out of 30 shot at, closely followed by D. M. Bar¬ 
clay, of Barre, Yt., with 24 broken. Scores follow: Met¬ 
calf 26, Dartin 25, Barclay 24, Bradley 23, Chapin 23,

Wesson 13, Spencer 12, Fitch 10, Lincoln 10. 
Event No. 12 was a merchandise race at 20 targets, high 
gun shooting, and after all ties had been shot off, miss- 
and-out, the final winners were as follows: First, F. J. 
Baker; second, H. B. Moulton; third, P. S. Clark; 
fourth, Harry Metcalf; fifth, W. W. Snow; sixth, A. M. 
Arnold; seventh, P. B. Osborne; eighth, L. Misterly; 
ninth, J. M. Gates; tenth. George W. Kerr; eleventh, 
Robert McFetridge; twelfth D. C. Downing. Charles 
Fitch, for being low gun of the program, was awarded 
a Webster’s collegiate dictionary for his poor shooting. 
The trade was represented by O. R. Dickey. F. E. H. 
Slieldon, George H. Darton and George H. Chapin, 
while amateurs of note from all over the New England 
States were on hand. Totals follow, all shooting from

Hercules Gun Club. 
Allentown, Pa.—There was a fair attendance at the 
grounds of the Hercules Gun Club, Cotopaxi Swamp, 
Temple, Pa., Sept. 10, but many of the boys were down 
at Atlantic City attending the Westy Hogan shoot. 
O. S. Sked, of Wilkesbarre, was high gun. E. PI. 
Adams, of Reading was high amateur ^’ith 113 out of 
125—a 90.40 per cent. gait. 
J. W. Rahn, the renowned Hercules captain, broke 89 
out of 95—a 93.68 per cent. gait. Mr. Rahn was second 
high amateur at Newmanstown several weeks ago. 
C. Prutzman kept up the game well with 90 out of 
110. Mr. Prutzman can do better on live birds, but he 
admires the game. 
Treasurer Brunner broke 45 out of 100 with his new 
pump, and hartman improved his score to-day. 
G. B. Bortz fell a little shy. He was trying a new 
double-barrel. 
H. Marks could not get above the sixes to-day. He 
broke 6 in every event shot at. 
W. S. Kenney and O. Marks led the field, each having 
clean miss. This was the boys’ first trial, and as the 
targets were rather fast, we will allow them some grace. 
A new automatic trap has been installed, and worked 
to perfection. Our grounds are well equipped and 
great preparation is being made for the registered tour¬ 
nament which will be held Oct. 19. The program con¬ 
sists of 150 targets with about $35 added money.

registered tournament at Wilmot, O., on Friday, Sept. 
2. The weather was ideal and the club furnished a 
range that was well adapted to the shoot. A large num¬ 
ber of amateurs entered the contest, and the events 
were all well filled. The club also arranged every 
convenience for the visiting shooters by providing tents 
for guns, suits and cases, and also had refreshments 
on the grounds. The occasion was one of much pleas-

Camp-Fires of the Wilderness. 
By E. W. Burt. Cloth. Illustrated. 221 pages. Price, 
$1.25. 
The volume treats of a multitude of matters of in¬ 
terest to the camper, who, unless he is made comfortable 
by the exercise of a little expert knowledge and thought¬ 
fulness, may find himself when in camp the most miser¬ 
able of mortals. A man who has had experience, makes 
himself as comfortable in camp as at home, while the 
free and independent life, the exercise that he is con¬ 
stantly taking, the fresh air in which he works, eats and 
sleeps, combine to render his physical condition so per¬ 
fect that every hour of every day is likely to be a joy. 
“Camp-Fires of the Wilderness’’ is written for those 
persons who wish to go into camp, yet are without ex¬ 
perience of travel, chiefly by canoe and on foot, through 
various sections of the country, and it may be read with 
profit by every one who enjoys camping.
