Danville Tournament. 
DANVILLE, IIl The last of dog days, Aug. 29-30, was 
the chosen time of the rod and gun club of Danville, 
Lll., for holding a toyrnament, and a fairly good time 
it proved. Theré was threatening weather early each 
day, and yet it did not rain, but the air was charged 
with moisture, and especially the second day was very 
hot Men who tipped the scale near the 250-pound 
mark were near the melting point. 
[he attendance was good, especially during the first 
day, there being a squad of professionals, three of whom 
live in Chicago. 
The gun club in its new home promises to be equal 
to anything in Illinois, or, in fact, any of the Western 
or Central States There are now fifteen acres in the 
tract. a natural grove and a hollow where an artificial 
lake is projected These grounds are not far from the 

city and are accessible by means of interurban car lines. 
Those who wish to shoot will find best of accommoda- 
tions, and those interested in other games can here 
indulge. 
[he proposition now on foot is to secure the Illinois 
trapshooters’ tournament for 1909, and to set up a 600- 
yard range for the State guards to practice with army 
rifles. 
The club was fortunate in having John Long for its 
president and pusher, while he has_been ably assisted 
by the secretary, H. T. Tengen and D. A. Robbins, and 
others of the directors, viz., H. B. Walter, Dr. W. J. 
Brown, F. R. Barnes, D. E. Cusic and John C. 
Oswalt. 
[he secretary and president were present from start t« 
finish, each working with their coats off and sleeves 
rolled up. Mr. Tengen looked after the office work 
and handled the cash, while John Long did the scoring 
and he saw that all run right at the traps. It was 
commented upon that never during the two days was 
there a complaint as to the scoring and refereeing. The 
office had the assistance of Jim Groves, who kept the 
tally sheet, and there was such system that the winners 
were paid off just as soon as the last gun was fired. 
Ihe traps worked well, and the targets were thrown 
about 45yds., yet the scores of the professionals were 
not up to their best form. Lee Barkley was high on 
the first day, with 191, but owing to a severe cold 
caught at Denver, he was not himself the second day. 
Cadwallader was manager of the shoot, and with the 
squad hustling and looking after two traps was very 
much worried, and yet it did not worry him so, but what 
he was high professional for the last day with but 
twelve misses out of 200. W. D. Stannard was not at 
his best, though shooting well. He was very busy 
looking after the interest of his company. Vietmeyer 
was happy. ‘Viet.’ of course had a new gun, and it 
was a late pattern single-barrel gun. He was shooting 
rather ahead of his usual form. 
Fred Rogers was the star of the shoot, and he was 
well seconded by a young man from Illinois, shooting 
under the name of Howe. Rogers led the shooters 
with 382, 4 ahead of Howe and Barkley, who were tied 
on 378. ‘‘Cad.,’’ the manager, was next with 370, just 
2 ahead of Joe Park, who shot somewhat of an uphill 
2a 
race, as he shot all kinds of shells and all kinds of 
powder. Kneussel was next with 367, rather a low 
score, considering some of his big scores made of late. 
Those present were: H. W. Vietmeyer, the Ballistite 
expert; Lee Barkley, for Winchester Repeating Arms 
Co.; W. O. Stannard, the Dupont products; H. W. 
Cadwallader, with the Peters Cartridge Co.; J. M.

Hudson Valley Teurnament. 
Tue first annual tournament of the Hudson Valley 
Rod and Gun Club, held on Aug. 23, at Glens Falls, 
N. Y., was an unqualified success. About 7,000 targets 
were thrown, including practice shots, and there were 
no hit-or-miss features about the management, whatever 
were the results of the powder burning. The office was 
in charge of Mr. George Ginn, the handsome and efh- 
cient missionary for the Winchester people, assisted by 
Messrs. F. B. Chapman and W. Harold Adamson, of the 
club men. 
Elliott, Fanning, Glover, Durston and Apgar were on 
hand, and were bothered by the targets nearly as much 
as the near experts. Elliott had a close shave for his 
20 straight in the sixth event, but the general verdict 
was that it “‘wasn’t a wad.” 
Weather conditions were perfect except for an erratic 
wind blowing across the trap, which was hooked up on 
the high speed gear, flying the little black and yellow 
disks out and away like sea skimmers. 
Jordan ran off with the silver tea set in the merchan- 
dise event, but there were more than forty other prizes, 
ranging from a ton of coal to a pair of tweezers, and 
so nearly every one had something to show mamma and 
the children as proof of skill. 
Shooters were on hand from about every northern city 
or town of importance, and every one was satished—and 
that’s going some—with the affair. Fifty-five shooters 
took part. Scores in detail follow:

The Palefaces. 
Boston, Aug. 28.—The last shoot for August on the 
grounds of the Palefaces, while somewhat slimmer in at- 
tendance than usual, proved to be of the same class as its 
many predecessors, the fourteen shooters present enter- 
ing into the events with the same vim as at the first 
events of the season, and not until 5 P. M. did the guns 
cease making their merry noise.
