FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Sbkc, 9, 1898 



Sigourney Second Annual. 



SiGOUBNEY, Iowa.— The Sigourney Gun Club (composed of the fol- 

 lowing officers: A. O Schipfer, President; P. Josbaker, Vice-President; 

 L. B. Oliver. Secretary; C B. Dobie, Captain; L. B. White, A. E. 

 Johnston, and E. J. Schipter, Directors) held their second annual 

 tournament at Sigourney, Iowa, Aug. 8, 9 and 10, and, to say the least, 

 was a grand success. The club have one of the finest shooting grounds 

 in the State, a clear background enabling shooters to make good 

 scores. The novice shoots, of which several are published each day, 

 show the improvement of parties never having shot at the trap 

 before. The first and second days the shooters gave the bluerocks a 

 hot reception. 



The plunge trap for the 25 live bird contest between Mr. Marshall, 

 of Keithsburg, 111., and Mr. Peck, of Cincinnati, O., for a purse of 

 $25 a side, lost the club the greater part of the forenoon of the third 

 day, as it took about five-sixth of the shooters to make the trap or 

 boss the job. 



Wind and rain combined spoiled the great event of the afternoon. 

 The 75 live bird match between 0. W. Budd, of Des Moines, and C. M. 

 Grimm, of Clear Lake, for a purse of ?100 a side, 5 unknown traps, 

 30yds. rise. American Association rules governed. 



The result. Budd 74, Grimm 73, is considerable above the average 

 live bird shooting.
