THE SHOOTING TOURNEY.


Fair Scores Made Despite the Storm
Today's Programme-Tips About
Fighters, Athletes and Bowlers-The
Baseball Records.
The storm interfered with the sport of
Association, but it did not cause a post
ponement. Only one of the three sets OF
traps was used, and the rain beat into the
faces of the contestants and affected
their AIM. Good shooting was done, not
withstanding the storm, and many difh-
cult shots were made, as dozens OF the
blue rocks were shattered when it was
thought they had got beyond the reach OF
the shot.
Three of the events on the card were
abandoned, the third for cams of two at
ten blue rocks, the fifth number for teams
of four men and the sixth event at 10
singles, 30 yards rise. The other four
events in the programme were shot and
then extra sweepstakes were rapidly
made up and the sport did not end until
night.
Among the new arrivals yesterday were
Frank Class, of Pine Brook; John Rig.
gott, of Rockaway, and Hugh Teddy, OF
Montclair, all clever shots at live birds.
They will have al opportunity of display
ing their skill in that line today, as live
birds will be used and the attendance will
be large, as two of the big events ale to
be decided.
The third event on today's card is the
trophy shoot for teams of three men OF
the association, ten birds for each man.
The entrance fee for each team is $22.50.
The contest for the State badge is the
fourth event. Only members of the as
sociation are eligible, The entrance fee
isS7.50 and ten birds will be shot at. The
