Miss Ball, of Cafion City, who shot in the first event, 
making a creditable showing. 
A movement is now on whereby there will be a gun 
club at Danville, Ill. There are plenty of “men behind 
the gun” at this city, and if they get into line there will 
be a tournament or two held there this year. One 
thing sure the right man, John Long, is back of the 
project. 
The Cumberland Gun Club, Davenport, Ia., is making 
great preparations for a big tournament May 14, 15 and 
16. The club has long had the reputation of holding the 
most successful tournaments ever pulled off in the west. 
Their merchandise shoots have drawn the biggest crowds 
of any and held the shooters the longest. 
There will be a hot time in Chicago at Watson’s park 
on May 13, when the Burnside trophy will be the at- 
traction; 100 targets handicap, open to amateurs. 
The Durand, Wis., Gun Club will hold a tournament 
June 7, to which all amateurs are invited. 
Another new shooting event has been sprung by M. 
Teeple at Watson’s park. He has looked to the future 
and has set July 4 for a shoot at 100 targets, $5 entrance. 
The shoot will be handicap, and all will stand an even 
show when Mr. F. H. Teeple sets the pegs. 
There was a shoot held Sunday, April 8, at the Calumet 
Gun Club grounds, South Chicago. A feature of the 
shoot was a 50-target handicap for a prize. - 
The old and influential gun club, the Garfield, of 
Chicago, will start the season 1906 with a shoot on its 
grounds on West Monroe street, Saturday, April 21. 
Chicago can now boast of a new gun club under the 
name of Honey Dew. The incorporators are Timothy B. 
Murphy, John L. Downey and James Benson. 
The Menominee, Mich., Gun Club tournament; look- 
out for another good one July 27, 28 and 29. Reduced 
railroad rates will prevail, and Alfred Greer, secretary, 
says, “‘Come on.”’ / 
A. E. Close, secretary Appleton, Minn., Gun Club, gives 
notice of a change of dates for their tournament, same 
will now be June 7 and 8. Mr. Close writes that this 
will be one of the best shoots for the year to be held 
in the northwest. 
Tuesday, May 1, there will be a shoot by the San Jose, 
Tll., Gun Club, whether it be sunshine or rain. 
The thirteenth annual tournament of the New London, 
Ta., Gun Club will this year be held May 8, 9 and 10. 
The old team of Budd and Whitney are so well known 
as managers, that there is nothing to be said in that 
line. When it comes to trophies, Dr. Cook has ‘‘’em all 
beaten” this year. It will be the Mississippi Valley 
trophy, worth $200. 

In Maryland. 
Tue A. G. Aiford Sporting Goods store, Baltimore, has 
long been the center of attraction for Baltimore shoot- 
ers, and just now there is great rejoicing in the house 
of Mordecai over the arrival of George Patterson 
Mordecai, Jr. May he be the coming sportsman of 
Maryland, and George, Sr., continue to wear “the smile 
that won’t come off.” 
Michigan State Trapshooters’ League. 
FoLtowineG is an extract from a circular letter sent 
out by the secretary of the League: 
“The Consolidated Sportsmen’s Association has added 
$300 to events besides the diamond and solid gold medal 
badges for expert, semi-expert and team championship 
races offered by the Michigan State Trapshooters’ League. 
“Among the unusual features to be afforded for the 
pleasure of visitors will be that of tower shooting each 
day after the close of the regular programme. There is 
but one other tower in the United States and, there- 
fore, very few shooters have ever had the privilege of 
participating in this unique method of shooting. To facil- 
itate the accessibility of the grounds the Association has 
provided launches which will connect with each street 
car and convey you to the shooting grounds, thus avoid- 
ing any walking and permitting you to enjoy a beautiful 
ride on Grand River. 
“You will observe by reading the accompanying pro- 
gramme that the events heretofore participated in ex- 
clusively by contestants for the medals are open to all 
comers to shoot for average money and for regular points 
the same as in all other events, but open only to mem- 
bers of the Michigan State Trapshooters’ League for 
competition for the medals. We have endeavored to ar- 
range the programme so that the money will be divided 
fairly, giving the average shooter a chance along with the 
best shots. Two hundred and twenty-five targets per man 
will be thrown each day, and in order to participate in 
the average money it will be necessary for each shooter 
to shoot through the entire programme for the day, 
Three sets of traps will be used and shooting will com- 
mence promptly at 9 A. M. each day. 
“Ship all ammunition and guns to the secretary, who 
will see that they are safely transported to the grounds. 
Any information as to trains, hotel accommodations or 
any reservations wished will be cheerfully and promptly 
attended to by the secretary upon application. 
‘““We hope to have the pleasure of your presence at the 
best shoot you ever attended.” 

The programme of the Michigan State Trapshooters’ 
League tournament, to be held under the auspices of the 
Consolidated Sportsmen’s Association, Grand Rapids,

The Indians Looking Southward. 
THE people and sportsmen of the south have several 
times made overtures to secure a tournament, and pow- 
wow of The Indians across the Mason and Dixon’s line, 
but it has remained for the followers of ‘the trap in the 
city of San Antonio to offer inducements for a mid- 
winter tournament there which can hardly fail to be suc- 
cessful. No details can be given as yet, but the shooters 
of the country will be interested to know that there is 
a plan afoot for a record-breaking event in the Almo city 
next January, fostered and espoused by The Indians, 
with added money to the amount of not less than $2,000 
cash. Keep your eye on the Texas trail. 
F, C. Rrexr, Sec’y.
