Garfield Gun Club. 



Chicago, III., Axig.l6.—JSc7#or Fo»-CTt and. Siream; As you will 

 see tne Garfield Gun Ciuo won a victory on Auk. 13, over their 

 neighbors the Douglas Gun Club, by a moderate score on both 

 sides, but still with a good fair margin. It is a curious thing that 

 some men who rsuaily are strong shooters at a clnb shoot go all 

 to pieces, so to speak, when an event like this ia on hand. This 

 can be readily seen by comnariuK the scores in the two shoots. 

 Nest week we shoot a match witn the Northwestern Gun Club . 

 In tact, from now till 1 he end oi our season our time will be pretty 

 well occnpied in various matches. This is right, it wakes up the 

 boys, and if defeat meets us we will try still harder. By a chal- 

 lenge received we will have need of all our skill to maintain our 

 lead. Scores below: „, , „

The Ottawa Tournament. 



Ottawa. Aug. 20 —The Rideau rifle range had an attendance 

 of trap-abooters to-day at the tournament given undfr the aus- 

 pices of the St. Hubert and Rideau Gun clubs. The shooting at 

 times was away up and the St. Huberts first team with 9K m a 

 possible 100 did a noteworthy feat. Much regret was felt that 

 the Aylmer Gtm Club were unable to send a team to compete for 

 the beautiful silver cups given for this match by Mr. R. .1. Shaw, 

 president of the St. Hubert Gun Club; but it is understood that a 

 challenge will shortly be sent by the Aylmers to the St. Huberts 

 for the Montreal challenge cup, at present held by the St. 

 Huberts. Should this be the case an interesting contest may he 

 looked forward to.

 competition, with the number of birds allotted to each marked op- 

 posite their names. Tne winner has one bird taken oi¥ and all

 succession.

 having won onc» each, the competition for this medal is to con- 

 tinue until May 1, 1893.
