CNKNOWN OUN CLUB. 
Dec JO.— The TJHtnown Gun Club met this afternoon for its monthly 
live-bird shoot The highpst scores in the club shoot, at 7 live birds, 
were made by James B. Voorhees and E. A. Vroome, both of whom 
scored all their birds. The best work of the afternoon was done 
by the veteran mfmber of the club, Dr. Schwartz, who missed his 
first bird in the club race and then ran 26 8l-.raia;htin the sweeps, losing 
his 28th bird for the afternoon. Most of the sweepstake ahootiog was 
done by moonlight, so the Doctor's miss of that bii'd was excusable.

Dec. 12.— The monthly live-bird shoot of the New Utrecht Gun Club 
was held this afternoon at Dexter Park. Walter Sykes won in Class 
A without a competitor. In Class B Gaughen won, thus tieing Conny 
Furgueson for the annual prize in that class. Frost won in Class C, 
and is thus tied with K. A. Parr for the trophy in that class. The 
turnout of members at this shoot was somewhat disappointing.

Thanlssg^iving' Day at Tucson. 
TuoaoN, Ariz., Nov. 26.— Thanksgiving Day will long be remembered 
toy the shooters of Ariz ma as the banner live-bird day, over 900 birds 
being trapped, thus necessitating the use of two sets of traps and 
twelve men to run them. The birds were an escepiionally strong lot, 
only three rerusin,^ to ffv immediately upon the opening of the trap, 
and many of them seeming to start before it was opened. The traps 
were set on either side of the club house and a strong wind blew most 
of the day directly across the grounds. 
The list of shooters was divided in two in each event, shooting one- 
half of the event on each set of traps, giving all an equal show. Fr^m 
start to finish everything ran in apple-ple order, Halloweli's experi- 
ence while on the circuit last summer standing him In good stead as 
manager. 
The interest of the day was centered in events 3, 4 and 5, as the 
highest score in those events entitled the successful shooter to a very 
handsome medal donated by our genial dealer here, Mr. K. L Hart, a 
thorough sportsman and a clever shot. Although Hallo well had the 
burdpu of the management on his shoulders, he found spare time to 
kill 27 out of the 31 birds in the medal contest, and thus won it by the 
margin of one bird. 
Among thp visitors were Gilbpirt Ferguson, Prescott-; J. H. Holmes, 
Lincoln Fowler. Fred Snhofipld, M. E Morin and B. M. Crawf ord, of 
PtoBQix; Hon. M. A. Smith, Tombstone; M, B. Chubb, Los Angeles; 
P. H. Tyler, San Diego, and W. 8. Cox, Chicago, representing Kmg's 
Smokeless , , 
The shoot was appropriately rounded off by a banquet in the even- 
ing undei- the sble supervision of Alex Rossi, whose chef was Joseph 
Soldini. Visitors and inemoers alike voted it a gr^ at suoi.ess. Presi- 
dent H-tllowell acted as toast-master and succeeded in ellpiting many 
bon mots from those gathered around the board. Hon. M. A. Smitn 
was especially bappy in the choice of his remarks and was ably 
seconded by Hon James Finlay, R. M. Aldridge, Fred Schofleld and 
others. All voted Tucson a thoroughbred town, both for tournaments 
and good times. 
The following scores speak for themselves, and considering the 
quality of the birds are very creditable for the boys raised in this 
neck o' the woods.

NOTES OF THE SHOOT. 
Morin is red hot with that left barrel of his "Burgess pump." 
Fowler is going to use buckshot and black powder in his next tour- 
nament. 
Dimick, who rung in as a simon pure amateur, shot a strong race. 
f Hon. Jas. Finley and R M. Aldridge, two old-time shooters, shot 
right through the day and were well up among the most favored. 
Rossi, "the Italian bandit," started in to win the medal, but fell by 
the wayside. 
Gil B erguson did good work and made many friends by his gentle- 
manly behavior and sportsmanship. 
Holmes and Scofield, two crackajacks from Phcenix, shot badly 
out of form. 
Sunset Cox was doing lots of good missionary work for King's 
Smokeless. 
U. M. C. Thomas should be proud of Tucson, all shooters but three 
using U. M. O. cases. 
The shooting of Hon. M. A. Smith is worthy of mention. He was 
taught to shoot in the field only, and always calls "pull" with both 
hammers down. Considering this handicap, he made some kills that 
were "peaphes." 
Holmes, the territorial champion, won the leather medal, and in 
consequence had to buy a large hat. Tucsok.

misses as breaks. The iiigh score in any competition ounts aa 8 
points; second highest sores count as 3 pnnts, and third highest 
scores count 1 point. Thnse who make tha highest scores in any one 
shoot lose one miss as a break from their handicap; in the next con- 
test second and third remain aa they were, while those who were un-

Cook County Leasue. 
Chicago, 111., Dec. 8.— The annual meeting of the Cook County 
League was held at the Sherman House, this city, yesterday evening, 
Dec. 7, President T. P Hicks in the chair, Mr. E. E Fox acting as 
secretary pro tern. The following members and delegates were pre- 
senr.: T. P. Hicks and O. P. Richards, Garfield Club; W P. Cutler and 
R. W. Rexford, Garden City Club; O. von Lengerke and Dr. C. W. 
Corson, Eureka Club; E. E. Fox, F. G. Barnard, J. P. Goettel and M. 
J. Lowery, of Cicero Club; A. C. Patterson, of Calumet Heights Ciub, 
The first order of business was the reading of the minutes of the last 
annual meeting and those of the several meetings of the governing 
board. The treasurer's report showed the flattering balance on hand 
of $167.47. 
Dr. Carson wished to amend some features of the classification 
rules, and Mr. Rexford wished to institute a new claes — Class D— for 
future contests of the League. This involving an amendment to the 
by-laws finally took the form of a notice served by Mr. Rexford that 
at the next meeting or the League he would ask that Section 1 of the 
by-laws be so amended as to create a fourth class or Class D,' and 
so that three from Class B and three from Class C could combine and 
form a B and C class team, so long as their combined averages did 
not exceed the percentage of either class. 
It was decidea to be the tense of the meeting that no team or indi- 
vidual should be eligible for more than one prize during the season. 
Mr. Patterson served notice to so amend Section 3 of the by-laws 
that the contests of the League shall hereafter begin at 1 P. M. in- 
stead of at 3 P. M , as heretofore. This will be desirable, as it has 
always been late when the club contests were finished, and the start 
has not always been made promptly at the hour set. 
Ridge Gun Club handed in its withdrawal from the League, which 
was accepted, this club nothaving a large enough membership to send 
a team. 
The secretary was advised to send notices to members, looking to 
early meeting ror the purpose of shooting oflE such undecided ties as 
still remain in the season contests. 
Dr. Carson served notice that he would ask addition to the by-laws 
of a section on providing for a paid manager and official scorer for the 
fuiure League contests—another very good moveuuent. It was sug- 
gested with great justice that Mr. F. E. Coppernoll would make an 
excellent manager and Mr, C. H Hitchcock an equally good scorer. 
The governing board will probably select these genciemen. 
Election of officers was held with the following result: Mr. A W 
Adams,=of Eureka Club, Pre-ident; Mr. John H. Amberg, of Garden 
City Club, Vice-President; Mr. E. E. Fox, of Cicero Club, Secretary 
Mr. C. P. Richards, of Garfield Club, Treasurer; Messrs, A. C. Patter 
son, of Calumet Heights Ciub, M, J. Eich, of Douglas Club, and Dr 0 
»V. Carson, of Eureka Club, members of the govemmg board. Ad- 
journment followed. B, Ho0QH.
