fourth money without shooting off the tie. The high runs made were: 
Knapp, 28 and 14; Work, 17, 13, 12 and 11; Hoey, 16 and 12; Duryea, 16 
and 10; Chapin, 13. The score shows that a total of 31 birds were 
scored dead out of bounds; an unusually large number, but fully 
accounted for by the high wind that carried the birds over the boun- 
dary as long as there was any kick left in them. 
Nos. 4 and 5 traps were the hardest ones to draw while the wind was 
at its_height, the gale making the boundary very short from those 
traps. The way in which the traps fell to the shooters is told in the 
following table:

It will be noted that No. 1 was pulled just thirty times more than the 
average— 100; at one time, from the 20th to the 25th rounds, it began 
to look as if the apparatus had got frozen on to No. 1. The full score 
in detail, showing the flight of each bird, is given below:

Secretary. 
O. K. Gun Club, of Kansas City. 
The secretary of the O. K. Gun Club, of Kansas City, Mo., Mr. E. A. 
Hickman, has prepared a very full statement of the doings of his 
fellow club members at the monthly club shoots. The figures show 
that this club turns out remarkably well at the monthly club shoots, 
an average of twenty members being present at each shoot. Few 
clubs can show a better record. The club event is shot at 15 birds, a 
handicap allowance of misses as kills being given to the weaker shots; 
but under no consideration can a. man score more than a highest pos- 
sible— 15 birds. The eight best scores count for the yearly averages. 
The records in a condensed form are as follows:

angles, entrance free; cartridges loaded with Troisdorf, also pre- 
sented free by the company, were to be used in the shoot. The affair 
was placed in charge of the company's superintendent, Oapt. W. H. 
Smith, of this city, who was assisted by the following committee of 
members of our Association: President David Brown, Captain-Treas- 
urer J. A. Wood and Secretary W. C. Gibb. There was a capital at- 
tendance of shooters, considering that it was the day after Christmas 
and a dark and threatening day into the bargain. Postmaster Jos. 
Sneed was referee, D. Brown acting as official scorer. First money — 
$12— was won by Stansbrough; second money— $8— went to Wood, 
who beat Higginson on the shoot-off; Donohue took third money— $5; 
J. Rhodes not staying to shoot off his tie. 
After the above shoot had been decided the Association sat down to 
one of Gidney's dinners as the guests of the Laflin & Rand Powder 
Company. The scores at the shoot, not at the dinner, were as fol- 
lows:

The Koch-Emond Match at Buffalo. 
Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 1. — The first of the series of three 100-bird races 
arranged between Jacob Koch and Fred Emond was shot off to- 
day on the Audubon Park grounds. Koch won by killing 84 out of 98, 
Emond scoring 81 out of the same number. As Koch has not been 
shooting mueh of late, many people expected that he had gone back in 
his form, but the race that he put up to-day shows that nobody in 
these parts has a sure thing with him. Emond shot well up to the 
last series of 25 birds, when the strain of a long and tedious race told 
on him ; he lost 8 out of the 23 shot at in this series. 
The weather was bitterly cold and the wind was blowing half a gale 
directly from the score to the traps, aiding the birds very materially, 
drivers being very hard to stop in bounds. The last few birds were 
shot at in the dark, owing to the match starting late. The lateness of 
the start was due to Koch's handler not putting in his appearance at 
the appointed hour. When be did not show up at all, Koch chose an- 
other handler and went to work. 
In a miss-and-out, $1 entrance, E. C. Burkhardt and A. Heinold 
divided at the end of the 10th round, each having missed their 6th and 
10th birds; the score was: E. C. Burkhardt and A. Heinold 8, L. W. 
Bennett 2, Powell 1, B. F. Smith and G. Krotz*0.

Trap at Little Rock. 
Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 2.— Only three of the local shooters put in 
an appearance on the club grounds to take part in alive pigeon shoot. 
Duley and Dickinson shot 50 targets' each, which resulted in Duley 
seoriDg 37 and Dickinson 43. Then Duley and Dickinson shot a little 
race at live birds, 15 birds per man, for the price of the birds. Each 
scored 13, and as Dickinson was suffering from a severe headache, 
they decided to leave matters as they stood. Then Duley and myself 
shot a race, 20 birds per man, under the same conditions as the pre- 
vious one. We each scored 18. Ab the supply of birds had now given 
out, no decision could be reached.. Scores: 
No. 1:

The Beaumont Gun Club, of Beaumont, Tex., a recent organization, 
held its initial tournament on Jan. 3 and 4; the tournament was man- 
aged by F. E. McKay, of Beaumont, and J. E. Haney, of Houston. 
The programme presented by the club was a very extensive one, both 
live birds and targets being used. The president of the club is Fred 
E. McKay ; its secretary-treasurer, Percy H. Weiss. 
We have received the following communication, which we gladly 
publish, hoping that some of Forest and Stream's readers may be 
able to help our correspondent: "I am very fond of shooting, but 
have had the misfortune to lose my right arm at the shoulder very 
recently. Would you be kind enough to inform me what sort of a gun 
I should use, and also tell me whether you have heard of any cases 
of men similarly unfortunate who use a gun? Both my eyes are 
good, and I was a fairly good shot before I lost my arm."
