The souvenir programme of the Michigan State Trap- 
shooters’ League tournament, to be held at Grand Rapids, 
Mich., May 29 and 30, under the auspices of the Con- 
solidated Sportsmen’s Association, is a work of art. 
Twelve events are provided for each day. On the first 
day there are seven events at 15 targets, $1.50 entrance, 
57.50 added; the amateur State championship at 25 targets, 
50 cents entrance, $2 additional for optional sweepstake; 
ihe semi-expert championship, 25 targets, entrance $2.50, 
and a sweepstake at 25 targets, $2.50 entrance, $12.50 
added. Programme average for the first day, $10, $7.50, 
£5 and $2. There are seven 15-target events on the second 
day and one 20-target event, and three 25-target events. 
The special events are No. 16, the State three-man team 
championship. No. 1 is the expert State championship 
and No. 23, the Evening Press sweepstake. The averages 
of the day are similar to those of the first day. High 
average for the two days, 450 targets, are $15, $10, $7, $6, 
$5, $4, $2.50, $2 and $2, a total of $56.50. All events other

ammunition prepaid to Charles M. Greenway, Secretary- 
Treasurer Michigan State YTrapshooters’ League, Grand 
Rapids. Shooting will begin at 9 o’clock. May 28 is 
practice day. BERNARD WATERs. 
Pennsylvania State Shoot. 
Tue Pennsylvania State shoot, officially known as the 
sixteenth annual tournament of the Pennsylvania State 
Sportsmen’s Association, was held at Milton, Pa., May 
15-18, under the auspices of the Milton Rod and Gun 
Club. The participants declared it a success in every 
particular. Every part ran smoothly and efficiently. 
Good fellowship prevailed throughout. Words of just 
praise were plentifully bestowed on every one of the 
cfficers. Hon. Fred A. Godcharles, of the Milton Gun 
Club, was general manager, and he devoted himself with 
unflagging zeal, courtesy and efficiency to the multi- 
plicity of detail inherent in the task. He was the busiest 
man on the grounds, and was in evidence everywhere 
throughout the tournament. How he held his enthusiasm 
and energy and urbanity to the end of such an ordeal 
is a marvel. The cashier’s office was in charge of the 
famous expert, Mr. Luther J. Squier, of the Dupont 
Powder Co., Wilmington, Del. He conducted the office 
with an ease, patience, promptness and precision that 
evoked the warmest praise from all the shooters and 
from the management. At the end of each day, soon after 
the last gun was fired, the moneys were all ready to be 
paid ont. The magnitude of the task no one can appre- 
ciate without a knowledge of the infinity of detail con- 
nected with so many different accounts, events and 
variety of scores in the competition. Particularly he in- 
gratiated himself in the friendly esteem of the newspaper 
men by making excellent manifold copies of the scores, 
which in turn is of interest to the public as being official, 
comprehensive and correct. He was ably assisted by Mr. 
Bernard Elsesser, of the York Dispatch, York, Pa., an 
expert also in office matters pertaining to tournaments. 
Mr. T. Grove Tritt, of Carlisle, Pa., was compiler of 
scores, and Mr. Wm. Murdock acted as assistant. Mr. 
Charles North had charge of the five sets of traps, and 
traps never worked smoother nor better. They were as 
near perfection as possible. Apart from the matter of 
expert efficiency, Mr. North’s amiable personality added 
many more to his long list of friends. Some idea of 
the activity in connection with the target throwing may 
be had from a consideration of the number of targets 
thrown each day, as follows: First day, 5,470; second 
day, 21,680; third day, 27,110; fourth day, 22,690; total, 76,950. 
Mr. Godcharles was also chairman of the tournament 
committee, and the tournament matters were much ex- 
pedited and regulated by committees as follows: 
Finance: John De Haas, Jacob G. Geltz, Dr. W. H. 
Follmer, Dr. J. S. Dougal. 
Grounds and Labor: P. Frank Rangler, W. H. Aunkst, 
Harry Strine, Wilson Harmon, Wm. Peeler. 
Arrangements: Samuel H. Kock, Geo. W. Strine, Wm. 
Whitmire, John M. Hans. 
Hotels: Wm. H. Harris, Horace Gauger, J. Lloyd 
Deihl, Wm. Foust. 
Entertainment: G. Dal Fox, Jas’ S. Geo. 
Rossel, L. Lowenberger. 
Transportation: Geo. W. Clinger, Wm. B. Godcharles, 
Frank A. Seidel. 
Auditing: Jacob G. Geltz, Wm. P. Hastings, Robert E. 
Hookins, 
Handicaps: 
Newcomb, Philadelphia; Arthur A. Fink, Reading. 
The tournament was held on the grounds of Milton Fair 
As3ociation, situated a short distance beyond the out- 
skirts of the town, with trolley transportation from the 
hotel doors to the gate of the grounds. There was ample 
room for the traps, and the grand stand afforded a cool 
and comfortable seat for the spectators, of whom there 
was a large attendance. 
Some press reports estimated that 4,000 spectators wit- 
nessed the live-bird competition on the fourth day. That 
was an over-estimate beyond a doubt. vet there was a 
large number, of whom many were ladies. In this re- 
letion, it may be mentioned that nothing tends more 
forcibly to further the legal prohibition of live-bird shoot- 
Krauser, 
Lewis B. Fleming, Pittsburg, Charles H. 

ing at the traps than does a large attendance of spec- 
taicrs, who view it first as a novelty and second as an 
object of hostility. In such attendance was the origin of 
tle hostility which finally ended, by statutory prohibition, 
live-bird shooting in New York. 
The weather as a whole was favorable, though on the 
last two days it was extremely hot. 
‘Lhe programme was a masterpiece of skill as to ar- 
rangement and comprehensiveness, advertisements in- 
cluded. It was completed fully each day without a balk 
or hitch, and is in contrast with many prior Pennsy]l- 
vania State programmes which were too cumbersome to 
be completed in the time allotted. A glance at the 
scores will make clear the manner in which some of the 
special events were run off simultaneously with the 
sweepstakes, with the consequent saving of time, effort 
and ammunition. 
The annual meeting was held on Tuesday evening, and 
officers were elected as follows: President, “ 4 
Worden, Harrisburg; Vice-President, Allen M. Seitz, 
Glen Rock; Secretary, J. M. Runk, Chambersburg; 
Treasurer, James H. Worden, Harrisburg; Directors, 
Arthur A, Fink, Reading; F. A. Godcharles, Milton; 
iy Me Eames, Philadelphia; J. O’H. Denny, Ligonier, 
ask 
was tendered the Milton Gun Club and officers for cour- 
tesies bestowed on the visitors. There was some keen 
rivalry for the next State shoot. Lebanon was chosen 
as the place for the next meeting. The new constitution 
and by-laws were unanimously adopted. Besides being 
coherent in construction—an absent feature in the prior 
constitution and by-laws—the new constitution and by- 
laws are incomparably clearer, more comprehensive, vig- 
orous, and are pertinent to the needs of the members 
and the purposes of the “organization. The committee 
which had charge of them had a profound knowledge of 
what rulings were essential, what was rubbish, and withal 
the courage to act. 
The influx of shooters swamped the hotel accommoda- 
tions, but the boarding houses and private homes of the 
citizens, through the good offices of the club members 
having the matter in charge, afforded accommodation to 
the overflow of the hotels. 
After the meeting on Tuesday evening, the Lebanon 
delegation engaged some members of the local band, and 
after a preliminary canter, serenaded Senator Godcharles 
at his home, where he had been for a short time slumber- 
ing. Mr. J. Mowell Hawkins and wife were his . guests. 
Senator Godcharles, Mr. Hawkins, and the Hon, Thomas 
A. Marshall made speeches which failed to soothe the 
enthusiasm or allay the music. 
The birds were a good lot, but the weather was so 
excessively hot on Friday, the temperature being up in 
the 90’s, that many of them were slow fliers, or sitters 
which took wing reluctantly, although there was a bird 
betimes that departed with a speed and vigor which 
seemed possible only in a favoring gale of wind. Never- 
theless, the shooters were men of rare skill, and could 
have run up high scores had the weather conditions 
been those of late winter. 
Tuesday, May 15, First Day. 
There were thirteen events on the programme of the 
first day, of which eleven were at 15 targets, $1.50 en- 
trance, a total of 165 targets; entrance, $16.50, with $1 
additiorial for the special purse. 
Events 6 and 7, 30 targets, constituted the E. D. Ful- 
ford memorial event, for which the prize was a $150 
automatic shotgun, donated by the Remington Arms Co. 
T. B. Pfleger, of Ambler, was the winner, with a score 
of 30 straight, and no ties,” 
Event 12 was the Milt Lindsley trophy event. 
The sweepstakes events, each at 15 targets, follow:
