EUREKA GUN CLUB, 



This lively shooting organization, of which that crack shot 

 Louis Scbortemeir ("Shorty"), is ihe moving spirit, held their 

 regular monthly shooting meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 11. The day 

 was one of the hottest of the season, but not hot enough to deter 

 the shooting men of the Eurckas from facing the traps. In the 

 afternoon a nice shower did much toward cooling the atmosphere, 

 and the lattf r part of the dav'.s sport was more enjoyable. The 

 live birds used were all of good qualitv, in fact the majority of 

 them were of the highest order. The Eurekas have some original 

 ideas as to handicapping their men that might well he studied by 

 other organizations, in the live bird match for the regular 

 monthly medal the second barrel kills are penalized. In open 

 sweepstakes it is optional whether the shooter adopts the gun 

 below elbow or Hurlineham position, if the former he stands at 

 35 or 37yds , according to gauge of gun, if he accepts the Hurling, 

 ham position he i.s handicapned 3yds. The scores of the various 

 events were as follows, the live bird boundary being .50Fds.:

CLEVELAND TRAPS. 



CiiEVKLAND. O., Aug. 11.— There was a good attendance this 

 afternoon, at the tmps of the Brooklyn Village Gun Club, of am- 

 bitious shooters in this city. A brisk gale from the souttiwest 

 that swept in gusts up the valley caused the targets to flutter, 

 dive and swoop through the air as though they were real birds 

 possessed of overwhelming anxiety to get away from the relent- 

 less charges of small shot that were being poured into them. This 

 had .some effect upon a few of the shooters present, who did not 

 begin to cme up to their ordinary marks. The best shooting of 

 the afternoon was done by Holt, although Prechtel was close to 

 him. Paul North bore off the honors of third place. 



W^hen the managnrs of rhe tournament footed up the totals and 

 made the awards of prizes for the best averages. Holt led by a 

 narrow margin. First prize was given to him, secood to Jack 

 Prechtel, third to Paul North, fourth to Upson, fifth to Fish, sixth 

 to Bailev. In addition to The average prizes there were awards 

 for the be.-t consecutive runs. Holt anri Jack Prechtel were tied 

 for first place and divided the money. Paul North was second and 

 Bailey third. The first shoot of the day for individual prizes of 

 all classes rt suited as follows-

 in so heavily that it was decided to postpone the shoot until next 

 Saturday. A meeting of the club was held to fill the position of 

 Secretary. By a unanimous vote J. C. Defrane, one of the oldest 

 members of the club, was elected.

 place at Deckelman's Ridgewood Park to-day. Blattmacher had

 ed Long Island rules, with both barrels. Twelve shooters faced 

 the traps and. strange to relate, the only straight score made was 

 byj, T.Duffy (invited). L. C. Gehring. who has won the club

 Fricke did the same. In the shoot off between Gehring and Fricke 

 Gehring killed 4 straight and won the medal for the third time.
