Eureka Gun Club. 



Chicago, 111., July 5.— The Fourth of July outing of about a dozen 

 members of this club was spent before the traps, on the grounds 

 Seventy-ninth street and Vincennes avenue, where they have a cosy 

 club house, located on some forty acres of land, and good traps and 

 electric pulls, kept in the best of running order. In fact, it « as a mat- 

 ter of comment among the 150 visitors how smooth and fast things 

 went. This perhaps was best illustrated by the number of targets 

 thrown— something over 2.000. Goodrich astonished his friends by 

 breaking 49 out of his first 50. Perhaps the presence of so many of 

 the fair sex lent an additional incentive, not only to him, but to all. 

 Certain it is that we are glad they graced the occasion by being there. 

 The day was an ideal one in every respect, wind and weather being 

 perfect. Scores:

Maple wood Defeats Peeks kill 



Pkbkskili,, N. Y„ July 4.— The Maplewood, N. J., Gun Club and the 

 Peekskill, N, Y., Gun Club have entered into an agreement to shoot a 

 series of three team races, six men a side, fifty targets per man, known 

 angles, home-and-home matches, with the third on neutral grounds. 

 Judging from the scores in to-day's race the teams are very evenly 

 matched For a team Tace the scores are remarkable, Maplewood 

 winning with 272 out of 300, an average of 90~,g. with Peekskill but four 

 behind, breaking 268, an average of 89J^. Of course the race was at 

 known traps and angles, but thePeeksfcill grounds are not famous for 

 a good light. Yet it was on these grounds that the Peekskill team 

 made a record tbat it will te hard to beat under any cocditions 



In to-day's match the interest was kept up to the very end, Drake, 

 A. Sickley and Yeomans, of the Maplewoods, and Halsted, Southard 

 and Dain, of the Peekskills, formed one squad, the balance of the two 

 teams forming the other squad. When each team had fired at twenty- 

 five targets per man the score stood: 



Halsted 23, Southard 23, Dain 23, Pierce 23, Mason 21, Everinghim 

 23 —total 136. 



Drake 24. A. Sickley 24, Yeomans 21, W. Smith 24, E. Sickley 22, 

 Geoffroy 20,-total 135. 



These totals show the Peekskill team to have had a lead of one 

 target at the halfway house. In the second half the Peekskill total 

 dropped to 132, notwithstanding Efalsted's straight score. Maplewood, 

 on the other hand, picked up and heat her first score of 135 by two 

 breaks, scoring 137 out of 150. Geoffroy going straight, and Yeomans 

 and Warren Smith breaking 24 each. The scores for this half were: 



Halsted 25. Southard 21, Dain 23, Pierce 19, Mason 23, Everinghim 

 21.— total 132. 



Drake 19, A. Sickley 22, Yeomans 24, W. Smith 24, E. Sickley 23, 

 Geoffroy 25,— total 137. 



In grand totals Halsted and Warrea Smith, the president of the 

 Maplewoods, tied on 48 out of 50. Dain, captain of the Peekskills. and 

 A Sickley were second with 46. There were three with 45 (all Maple- 

 wood men), and three with 44 (all Peekskill men): a 43 by Drake and 

 a 42 by Mason made up the list. In the 12 strings of 25 targets there 

 were two straight scores, 5 of 24, 8 with 23, 2 with 22, 4 with 21, 1 with 

 20 and 2 with 19. Halsted made the largest score in the team race, 

 missing his 4th and 7th and running 43 straight. Geoffroy did some 

 great work during the day, making a big score, something like 80 

 straight, a big portion of them at unknown angles. Details of the 

 team race are as follows:

Lake Erie Rod and Gun Club. 



Fredonia, N Y., June 29 —The handsome badges for first and 

 second prizes at our Saturday shoots have arrived, and to-day A. C. 

 Clark, heretofore a novice, carried off the 1st badge with 23 out 25, 

 a percentage of 92. Ware took the 2d badge with 22 out of '15. 

 Last Saturday (June 22) our shoot had to be postponed owin^, to the 

 races of the Fredonia Bicycle Club, when riders occupied the race 

 track, making shooting dangerous. Considering the number of mem- 

 bers in the Lake Erie Rod and Gun Club, and the difficulty they have 

 to get to their shooting grounds, I can safely challenge comparison 

 with any other club for the enthusiasm displayed in regular attend- 

 ance and their hearty entrance into the sport. Since the club was 

 organized, two months ago, not a weekly shoot has passed with less 

 than 1,000 targets thrown. The improvement in marksmanship, too, 

 is notable. When we first started we had several members who could 

 not hit more than 1, 2 or 3 out of 10; the same shooters are now break- 

 ing 7, 8 and 9 out of 10, with an occasional 10 straight. The following 

 are to-day's scores: 



Prize contest: Clark 23, Ware 22, Shelly 21, Dr. Dodds 20, Forter 18, 

 Dr. Johnson 16, Marsh 14, Sackett 13. 



In a team race, 50 targets per man, the following scores were also 

 made: 



Ware 44, Porter 40, Shelly 39, Dr. Johnson 34. Sackett 31—188. 

 Bristol 41, Clark 39, Dr. ■ edds 38, Dr. More 36, Marsh 31—185.

Wet weather doesn't stop trap-shooters as a rule, but the steady 

 downpour on the Fourth of July put a damper on the all-day sboota 

 in the vicinity of New York.
