lington. The weather on Wednesday was
unfavorable and the showers ipterfered
somewhat with the work of the traps. The
, winners on Wednesday were Leroy Wood
, ward of Campello, Mass, and o. R. Dickey
of Boston. These gentlemen were tied at
1876 out of a possible IT'S birds. F. A. Stan
dish OF this city came next with 1874 birds,
and Edison Banks Of New York fourth, with
, 163 The attendance the second day was
.. even larger than the first and Manager
, the entries at Montpelier exceeded in num-
r Der any Of the eight tournaments that have
, thus far been held this season in the United
: States. The complete score of the two days
shooting shows that o. r. Dickey of Boston
was the winner, he breaking 313 out of a
possible $50 birds. Edwin Banks of New
York and Leroy Woodward Of Campello,
, Mass, were tied for second place with 81
! birds to their credit f. B. Wordsworth of
Boston came third with 294 birds. The
prizes were divided according to the Rose
system which proved entirely satisfactory
to all concerned. The officers and members
Of the Montpelier Gun Club put great deal
!, OF hard work into this first Interstate Tour
nament ever held at Montpelier and the ap-
. preciative words spoken OF the members of
the club by the visiting sportsmen were
hearty and well deserved Even the at
fractions of the circus pa -ade did not lure
. the members of the local club or the visiting
sportsmen from the traps on Thursday, and
the attendance OF spectators was much
! larger than was expected on that day.
. Taken as whole the tournament was a
tirst-class success.
