FOREST AND STREAM. 



87S 



Eureka Gun Club of Chicago. 



The regular weekly shoot on Saturday, April 14, had a large at- 

 tendance of both members and visitors. Over 1,500 targets were 

 thrown. The weatner was pleasant and all that could be desired for 

 trap-shooting. Dr. Frothing hatn and Mr. Eaton drove to the grounds, 

 and on the arrival of their turnout, were promptly ordered "hands 

 up," all complying but the driver, who looked to bemorebadily scared 

 than those whose hands were up; on promising not to outshoot any 

 one, they were released from their uncomfortable situation, and 

 allowed to stay awhile, this promise of theirs explains their scores. 

 We thank you gentlemen for your presence, and hope you will come 

 %,gain; we also extend an invitation to all shooters visiting and resid- 

 ing to come whenever they wish ; we make special efforts to have 

 strangers feel at home; shells for sale and guns gladly loaned.

The Climax Monthly Shoot. 



The monthly handicap shoot of the Climax Gun Club of Plainfleld 

 took place on the club grounds at Benner's Grove on April 18 under 

 favorable weather conditions. Empire targets were used and these 

 were thrown hard and low to make the shooting as difficult as possi- 

 ble. The members all shoot at unknown angles, one man up. The 

 turnout was good. Below are the scores of the club event:

"Wad's" Princeton Budget. 



Princeton, N. J., April 16.— A perfect day, a large and most en- 

 thusiastic audience of Princeton's best people, including a large dele- 

 gation of the blithest and bonniest of its bonnie lassies, greeted Miss 

 Annie Oakley, as she stepped from the Princeton Gun Club house to 

 give one of her unrivalled exhibitions of skill, with gun, rifle and pistol 

 on Saturday. 



First on the programme came that wonderful exhibition of trick 

 work with the rifle, so familiar to all who have seen Miss Oakley, 

 which, in the strong wind blowing, seemed to partake of the marvelous. 

 Then came some fancy pistol shooting, and a brilliant bit of speed 

 work at Empire targets, both singles and doubles. The crowning 

 event of the afternoon was her work on live pigeons, Miss Oakley kill- 

 ing 23 out of 25 very fast birds; two were killed out of bounds, one 

 just blowing over the line. 



Next came a live bird race, between Quimby of New York, and 

 Bainbridge of Trenton, at 10 birds, 28yds. rise. If Fred won, it was 

 Mr. B.'s fault, as he had two birds released on his first round, and 

 dividing his shells between them, lost. "Deserved to," Referee Stout, 

 of Princeton said. Afterward came four sweeps, which the shooters 

 from abroad came near having all to themselves, as their well known 

 reputations as "bad men" caused the home club members to fight shy 

 01 them. Full scores follow: 



No. 1, 10 Empire targets, 5 bluerock traps, 16yds. rise:

Winners of Colt Gun Club Prizes. 



In May, 1893, the Colt Club started a series of twenty-four shoots for 

 a number of valuable cash and merchandise prizes. The conditions 

 are to shoot once every two weeks at 25 targets. Any member shoot- 

 ing 10 times out of the 24 shoots qualifies for the prizes. For the mer- 

 chandise prizes, in order to make it fair to all, it was agreed to draw 

 them by lot; that is, the first Dame drawn has choice of prizes, and so 

 on. But for the $50 cash prizes donated by the club a handicap of 1 to 

 75 targets was allowed to be added to the total of the 10 best scores. 

 The $50 was divided into four $10 prizes and two $5 prizes given to the 

 two members attending the most shoots out of the 24. 



A score of 250 was the possible that was allowed with the handicap. 

 I send you a complete list of those that completed the required num- 

 ber of times, the scores made by each at the different shoots, the 

 number of targets shot at, the number broke, the number of targets . 

 allowed to be added to 10 best scores for the four $10 cash prizes, the 

 total of the 10 best scores without handicap, also with handicap added. 

 M. F. Cook leads the club with the 10 best scores. His score was 242 

 out of n. possible 250, and he was allowed 10 targets, making his score 

 250, and secures $10 in cash. Morgan White, with 10 scores of 206 and 

 a handicap of 75, gets the second $10 in cash. John Melrose, with 

 a score of 234 and a handicap of 10, secures the third $10 in cash. E. 

 W. Decker, with 231 and a handicap of 10, and C. Vibberts, with a score 

 of 229 and a handicap of 12, are tied for the fourth $10 in eash. John 

 Melrose, with an attendance of 23 times out of the 24 shoots, secures 

 the first |5, and M. F. Cook secures the second $5 with an attendance 

 of 21 out of 24 shoots. There were 40 members that competed; but 14 

 finished the required 10 scores. 



In drawing for merchandise prizes, John Melrose drew first choice 

 and selected the Colt hammerless gun, donated by the Colt Arms Co.; 

 F. Manross took steel fishing rod; Cook got barrel of ale; Colt got 

 bamboo fishing rod; Decker, case of claret; Collins, two boxes cigars; 

 White, silk umbrella; Pitkin, amber cigar bolder; Williamson, rubber 

 coat; Treat, 15-pound turkey; Vibberts, rubber sporting boots; Olm- 

 sted, $2 cash; Sexton, $2 cash; Hotchkiss, bag shot. This finished one 

 of the most successful year's shooting of the club.

Shooting Notes From Dayton. 



Dayton, O., April 9.— If you want to find the most enthusiastic 

 sportsmen, men who love a gun next to their wives and babies, men 

 who will go to a shoot earlier, shoot oftener and stay later, in fact, 

 who will shoot from dawn till dark, they can be found in the Buckeye 

 Gun Club, of Dayton, O. 



This aggregation of shooting cranks is coming to the front in no 

 uncertain manner. It not only claims as a member the champion 

 target shot of the world, Mr. Rollo O. Heikes. but has a 5 or 10-man 

 team against whom it would be interesting for any like number of 

 men to rub up against. 



The Buckeye has recently leased for shooting purposes a large level 

 tract of land, adjacent to the city, which is readily accessible by 

 street car or carriage. Upon these grounds is located a beautiful and 

 picturesque elm grove, which not only adds variety to the surround- 

 ings, but furnishes a suitable place for an afternoon's outing for the 

 families of its members. Its new grounds are very appropriately 

 called Elm Wood Park. The club is fitting it up with all modern con- 

 veniences and appointments for trap-shooting. The traps are laid 

 upon level ground and the targets thrown against a clear sky back- 

 ground. Bluerock traps with electric pulls are used. The new club 

 house, a stylish little structure 20ft. by 20Pt., has a spacious veranda 

 across its entire front, from which the shooting can be viewed. It is 

 in all a model of convenience and elegance. Other necessary out- 

 buildings are provided. 



Indeed, we feel safe in saying that for beauty of location, for mod- 

 ern equipment and general convenience, the Buckeye Gun Club has a 

 shooting ground second to none in the S f ate of Ohio. 



The Buckeye expects to dedicate its new grounds on April 26 and 27 

 by a two days' shooting festival, at which it is expected that most of 

 the shooters from this section of the country will be present. Pro- 

 grammes will shortly be issued, but if any of your readers should fail 

 to receive one, we beg to assure them that they will receive a sports- 

 man's welcome should they favor us with their presence. C. W. R. 



The Eureka Gun Club. 



The weekly shoot of the Eureka Gun Club on Saturday, April 20, 

 was well attended. The sky was heavily overcast and in consequence 

 there was a dull, bad light. A light drizzling rain set in at the com- 

 mencement of the medal shoot. All the events were at 25 targets, 

 unknown angles: 



No. 1: O'Brien 16, DeWolf 13, Waters 9, Carson 10, Stannard 23, 

 Bingham 21, Skinner 21, Thacker 4.

The weather was so bad that the shooters began to depart. A few 

 more scores were shot with light entries. B. Waters. 



Forester Gun Club. 



The Forester Gun Club, of Newark, N. J., held its monthly contest 

 for the club gold medal on Saturday, April 14, on the club grounds 

 below the coal chutes on the Pennsylvania Railroad. The day was 

 clear and bright, but the wind strong and troublesome. Each mem- 

 ber shot at 25 targets from three traps, unknown angles. Below are 

 the scores:

Missoula Rod and Gun Club. 



Missoula, Mont., April 15. — The regular weekly shoot of the Missoula 

 Rod and Gun Club took place at the club grounds to-day. The atten d- 

 ance of shooters was light, although the weather « as more favorable 

 than any before this season. Bob Rogers, who holds the '93 champion- 

 ship cup for the State of Montana, demonstrated that he is still able to 

 hold his own at the traps, by making a clean score, snuffing out 15 

 singles at known angles. The others of the shooters were hardly up 

 to their usual work. Scores:
