MINNEAPOLIS, April 5.-Yesterday the Minneapolis Gun Club 

 held its regular weekly shoot for the different badges, besides 

 shooting several sweepstakes. The day was fine, but very windy, 

 and being out of Peorias, standards were used in old hluerock 

 traps, and worked very badly, no two going in the same direction 

 in succession. Peorias will be used exclusively after this as they 

 give much the best satisfaction. A meeting was called during 

 the afternoon of the gun club to take final action in regard to re- 

 moval of giounds to flamline, between the cities, but there was 

 almost a imauimous vote to stay on our present grounds so our 

 tournament will be held there. Our president and Mr. Babcock, 

 a member, shot a match, 25 live birds, new American Association 

 rules, the loser to pay expenses. The march was won by Babcock 

 with a score of 19, to Harrison's 17.

 gathering of lovers of the gun here to-day to witness the match 

 of Miss Annie Oakley and Mr; Frank Closs against Messrs: Cas- 

 tles and C M, Hedden. They shot at 25 birds each, Hutlingham 

 rules for $50 a side, Miss Oakley and Mr. Closs Won easily by the 

 score of 41 to 27. Before and after the match sweepstake shooting 

 was shot until the birds gave out. The birds were only an average 

 lot, and none of the contestants shot up to their usual standard, 

 with the exception of Miss Oaklev, who gave a very pretty exhi= 

 bition, using a 01b. l2-gaugo gun. There Was an unusually large 

 number of birds dead out of bounds, which is partially accounted 

 for by the short boundary, The scores ran:
