The tournament of the Interstate Asso-
citation opened yesterday on the grounds
of the Endeavor Gun Club at Marion and
the gathering of trap shooters was the
most prominent that has been at this
| ground In years. The Interstate Asso-
citation offered a number of well ar
ranged contests and the shooting, which
was at blue rocks. was of the liveliest
nature. Yesterday was the opening day
and every arrangement was perfect for
the success of the tournament. In addi-
ton to the competition there was quite a
display of sportsmen's goods. The En-
deavor Club had a couple of tents In
position and in one there was a res
taurant in which the shooters RECALLED
themselves, while there was also an
abundance for a thirst cure. event
was eniivened by the presence of several
ladies. There were among the contest
ants the American champion, Captain
John L. Brewer, j. A.. r. Elliott, E. D.
Fulford, Carl Won Lengerke and Captain
Money. besides many of local prominence.
There was great interest in the work of
the stars. but their shooting was not
up to the average and clean scores were
rather scarce. The cracks were expect
ed to carry off the biggest slice Of the
prize money, but they were not as fortu-
nate as expected. In several of the
events they were well below the average.
In all there were fifteen regular events
with three. added sweeps Il all the
Interstate Association added purse money
to that paid in for entries, which made
the winnings of fair percentage. Mrs.
Lindsey. of this city. known in the
sporting world as wanda was on hand
and competed in three of the events, but
with poor success. Several of the tar
gets got away from her. The shooting
