Trap at Buffalo. 
AlTDUBON GT3N OLUB. 
BupPALO, N. Y., Jan. 1.— The New Year's Day shoot of the Audubon 
Gun Club, of this city, was a. complet* success. There was a very 
large aiteadance of out-of-town sbooters, while the home club 
showed up remarkably well, both in point of numbers and in scores. 
Ten teams entered in the team race: Five teams from the Audubon 
Gun Club, two from the Kocbester (N. Y.) Rod and Gun Club, and one 
each from the following clubs: Cazenovia, Lockport and Bison Gun 
clubs. The cup went, as might have been expected, to Rochester. 
The first team of that city's club put up a score that was extremely 
hard to beat -44 out of 4.5. With such men on the team as Sim Glover, 
L. V. Byer and Eddie Myers, one naturally looked for a big score; bur, 
H out of 50 is something extremely warm. The Audubon No. 1 team 
shot a eood race: Hammond broke 15 straight. E. O. Burkhardt only 
dropped one target, while E. D. Kelsey managed to lose 3, something 
he does not do very often when on a team. 
Almost all day both sets of traps were kept constantly busy, over 
6,000 targets being thrown; 49 shooters took part in the sweeps and 
m the team race. Scores were as below, the team race resulting as 
■ follows: 
Rochester No. 1: Sim Glover 14, L. V. Byer 15. E. C. Myers 15-41. 
Audubon No. 1: E. C. Burkhardt 14, F. D. Kelsey 12, E. Hammond

Jan. S.— The attendance at to-day's shoot, the regular weekly shoot 
o£ ihe AuduDon Gun olub, was not as large as the fine weather war- 
ranted. Part ot tue falling oflE in the aoteudauce may be du-ectly at- 
tributed to the Jong day's work at the traps yesterday. There were, 
however, plenty of shooters to make it interesting, ana some t ood 
scores were recoi ded. 
In the club badge shoot Johnson and 0 S. Burkhardt tied on 24 
each out of 2b In class A, uut as BorKhardc was penalized 2 t .rgets 
the emblem went to Jonn&ou. In class U Snyder was tne winner, J 
E. Do.dge winning in ciass C. The main feattu-e of the day outside of 
the above event was a team race betweon ttams captained respect- 
ively by Sim Glover and C. S. Burkuardt. The race resulted in a vic-

Calumet Heights Gun Club. 
Chicaoo, 111., Dee. 25.— The members of the Calumet Heights Gun 
Club shot at some good birds to-day, the majority of those trapped 
being strong flyers. The wnite birds were hara to see over the snow- 
covered ground. Interest in the sport only ceased when all the birds 
had been trapped. 
Event No. i was at 10 live birds, $3, high guns to win ; Class A at 
S2yds., Class B at 30yds., and Class C at i7yiis. Lamphere and Lewis

Limited Gun' Club. 
Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 31.— Mr. George Wood, formerly of Pitts- 
burg, but now living in Colorado, has been visiting relatives in this 
city for several weeks. He has shot from time to time on the 
grounds of the Limited Gun Club. His good work in practice led 
some of his friends to back him against the veteran Geo. C. Beck, at 
one time holder of the American Field cup. The match was at 50 
pigeons, for $50 a side, and was shot this afternoon. 
Mr. Beck shot with much of his old-time vigor, and was an easy 
winner; 27 of bis birds were killed with the first barrel, there being 
no excuse for using the second, even for safety. His second barrel, 
when used, was placed quickly and with excellent judgment. His 
first loss was the 5th bird, a rapid driver, which was centered with 
both barrels, but managed to get a few feet outside the flags. He 
also lost his l5th, 21st and 45th, two of them right-quartering drivers 
and one an incomer to the left. 
Mr. Wood shot unevenly, his best run being 10. He was weak on 
the fast birds, although he killed some of that sort in a way to merit 
applause. He is capable of much better work than the score in- 
The birds were a mixed lot, as usual with us— too many with an in- 
coming tendency, but with a sprinkling of very hard drivers, all the 
harder because unexpected. Beck shot an L, C. Smith gun, with 
Schultze powder and No. 7 shot in both barrels. Wood shoe a Crown 
Greener, with Schultze powder, shot unknown. Each had 1 dead out 
of boimds. The scores follow: 
Wood 2201022000031012221 1 22220—17

1211211111121221212012212—24-46 
Other scores for the same day, for price of birds only, were: Parry 
24; Marott, 16 out of 26, Marott staaaing at 30yds., and allowing his 
opponent 5yds.; Holliday 19; Hearsey, 15 out of 25; Tripp 21, Parry 
18, both shooting from x6yd8. mark; Cooper 18; Liilly, 13 out of 25. 
Jan. 1,—lt was my pleasure to be one of a party from the Limited 
Gun Club which made a social call one day last spring on the Buck- 
'eye Gun Club, of Dayton, O. The day was raw and bleak enough, 
but was made bright by the genuine warmth of the greeting ex- 
tended to us, and it became real hot before the team shoot, a mere 
incident of the visit, was over. 
With 10 men to a team, each ^hooting at SO targets, they beat us 77 
points, but we didn't mind that. We had already been defeated by 
teams from the Soft Mark Club of "Chicago, and the gun club of 
Wabash, Ind., and felt proud to add the famous Buckeyes to the list 
-just CO give it tone, you know. At any rate we returned home 
even gayer tnan when we started, and have since cherished the 
memory of that trip as the brightest and best thing in our trap- 
shooting experience. Truly, "it is not all of shooting to shoot."' 
To-Oay the Buckeyes were our guests, and while they for a while 
tasted tne bitter dregs of defeat, we hope they may recall the day as 
one not unmixed with pleasure. 
Tne weather was most disagreeable and unfavorable for shooting, 
as a steaay rain fell tnroughout the day and the clouds hung so low 
that the light was extremely bad. All was cheerful enough within the 
club room, where a plain lunch was served at noon. At 5:30 P. M. an 
elegant repast was served at the Grand Hotel, but unfortunately this 
enjo.vable feature of the day was cut short by the necessity of the 
visitors leaving for home at 7:i0 P. M. 
Cm" guests were welcomed in appropriate words by Hon. W. D. 
Bynum. Dr. Adams responded and uncovered a beautiful and costly 
vase of elegant design, which he presented on behalf of the Buckeye 
Gun Cluo to the home club. Dr. iSritton accepted it and the party 
broke up in a nurry to catch the train. 
As to the team shoot, the visitors did not present all of their best 
men. Mr. Heikes would have been a tower of strength to them, but 
the illness of his wlie kept him at home. Scott McDonald was 
shooting a strange gun, some villian having stolen the old Lefever, 
with which he was a hard man to beat- And Ed. Rike shootmg a 
Winchester; what-do you think of that? It but illustrates the loyalty 
of Heikes's frienas to uim. C. W. Raymond (pretty near "old Reli- 
able") jusD pounded out 48 and seemed a bit astonished that so 
many got away. 
Of the home team TutewUer and Parry, two of our best and most 
uniform shooters, "tell down," as did also Dr. Britton, wbo for many 
years has been our main dependence. 
There were all kinds of gunt, but with those exceptions every man 
on the ground usea Wmchesier factory loads and E. C. Powder.

Fawtuatet Gun Club. 
Pawtuxet, R. I., Jan. 2.— The scores given below were made on the 
grounds of the Pawtuxei Gun Club yesterday and to-day. They are 
not by any means remarkable, with the exception of the shooting of 
1. R. csheiaon, who is a boy of only seven ytars of age. The targets 
were thrown for him from a strong empire trap. Master Israel is the 
son of W. H. Sheldon, of this place, and was seven years old last 
July. He used in shooting at the targets a .44cal. double gim with 
brass shells containing 16grs. of Du Pont and J^oz. of iJJo. 9 shot. He 
stood 5yds. from the trap. This is only his second trial at the trap, 
but he nas killed birds on the wing.

KeUy and Smith vs. Mott and Gammon. 
Chioaoo, 111., Jan. 2.— An interesting team race was shot on Dec. 
26 at the Gun Club grounds at the Diamonu race track, northwest of 
Chicago, between Messrs. Ed. Kelly and J. J. Smith on cne one side 
against Messrs. R. S. MotD and O. D. Gammon on the other, at 50 
birds, $50 a corner. Aoe Kleinman was referee, and the race was a 
good one at good birds. Aaditional interest was given the matter by 
a little argument between J. J. Smith, of Evauston, and Cnarlie 
Gammon, the former stating that he coutd beat the latter 5 birds in 
the 50. This he stood ready to do till toward the close of the race, when 
Charlie pulled up a bird and won this part of tue race. There were 
many interested spectators of the shooting, and the thing was 
near enough to make the contestants feel the event was not decisive.

Match at Detroit. 
. Detroit, Mich., Jan. 6,— Below is the score made in a match be- 
tween \Vm. Renick and Sidney Corbett, shot to-day on the grotmds 
of the Pastime Gun Club, of tnis city. The conditions were: 50 live 
biras, $50 a side, SJyds. rise, 50yds. boundary; a. S. a. rules to gov- 
ern in all other respects. The match resulted in a tie, both men 
scoring 39 out of 50. Tfie weather was cold and raw; a strong north- 
west wind was blowing, causing many birds to fail dead over the 
boundary that would otherwise have been scored to the shooters. 
Renick shot a Winchester repeating shotgun; Corbett, an L. C. 
Smith; both men used SJ^drs. of King's Smokeless. Scores:

(Note.— Renick's 20th bird was protested by Corbett on the ground ■ 
that the referee made a wrong decision. K the referee in a match 
says that a certain bird is to be scored dead, that settles it; because— 
A. S. A. "Rule |1; A referee shah be appointed by the contestants or 
maaagement, whose decision shah be final." As the case nas been 
reported to us by two different parties, we cannot see that the referee 
made any error. It would be interesting to know upon what grounds 
the decision was protested.)
