ffiiCAGO. III., May l5.~The openiuK shoot of tbe Cook County Trap- 
Shooter's League was held to-day on the Oicero Club grounds, Madi- 
son street and Des Plaines River, with about seventy-five members 
present. ; ' 
The weather being unpropitious undoubtedly caused theabsenceof 
many from the event., , 
Perhaps the proximity of the club grounds to the river hag some- 
thing to do with the fact that they are always favored with rain when 
they hold the League shoot, which is unfortunate, as It causes loss to 
theni and mars the pleasurfi of those present, by interfering with the 
proper service of the electric pull. , 
While the club have naturally beautiful grounds to shoot over, the 
general impression of the League members seems to be that they ar e 
the hardest in the League, yet a glance at the scores of those present 
last Saturday will show that the majority of the shooters eciualed, if 
not surpassed, their averages. 
Mr. F. P. Stannard may be justly proud of liis score of 43 straight 
made with a new gira of his own manufacture.: Among the other 
good scores may be mentioned those of Messrs. Houston, Dr. Shaw, 
Fehrman, Bowers, Steck, Adams, "Patty" and Ruble. The follow- 
ing is the score of the programme of events and practice work, also 
the result of the League shoot in their annual contest for team and

Albany Tournament. 
ALBAuy, N. Y., May 18.— The ninth annual tournament of the West 
End Gun Club which closed to day, was not as successful in the way 
of numbers In attendance as some of our former tournaments bav« 
been. Seventeen entries were recorded in aU. The weather condi- 
tions were all that could be desired. The targets were thrown low 
and very swift; this, coupled with a bad background, made the sbooi- 
ing very difficult. The trade was rep resenied by Fanning shooting 
the Gold Dust, and Trimble shooting the Du Pont Smokeless. Both 
gentlemen made many friends for themselves and ihe powders they 
represent. Before the forenoon wore away the only Tom Keller 
made his appearance, and was warmly welcomed by his many 
friends: He fully explained the merits of King's Smokeless and 
Peters' shells. 
■ The programme consisted of ten 15-targ6t events. The purses were 
divided in four moneys, 35, ;50, 20 and 15 percent. Ten per cent, of 
the net purse was deuucted for a general average, which was divided 
the same as in the regular events. The regular order of scores below 
will tell who captured these At the close' of the regular events a 
team race was shot. The result proved very satisfactory to Tee Kay.

BUaheim Gun Club Touraaaie&t* 
BLiiNMaiU, Ont., Hay 6.— Through the tierslstent energy of W. E. 
Hall, manager of the Blenheim Gun Ohib, trophy shooting has come 
right to the front In and around Blenheim, Ont., and it was decided 
to give a team race between Blenheim, St. Thomas, Chatham and 
Windsor of ten men each, 30 birds per man, the two winning teams to 
receive $10 in gold; these two teams then to shoot off at the same 
number of birds for a silver cup valued at $25. To the credit and 
liberality of the Blenheim team would say that the.y threw empire 
target s free of cost in addition to the above donation. The sweeps 
were well patronized during both days, especially No. 10 merchandise 
event. On the second day, in which there were five prizes donated by 
merchants of Blenheim, the most interest was displayed. Windsor 
and St. Thomas won, and In the final shoot off Windsor won the cup. 
Stott, of Windsor, won the first average prize of 55 for the first day, 
and Tyro, second average, $5. The general average for the two days 
was won by Forest Conover, Lemington. Ont., he participating in all 
events.

Sown Where the Pineapples Grow. 
HoBE Sound, Fla. -The Hobe Sound Gun Club is a new club of only 
seven members. We would have more, only seven are all the men 
there are in a radius of twenty miles. We stop picking pineapples 
every Saturday afternoon long enough to shoot a little, and manage 
to burn a httle powder, even if guail are out of season and the ducks 
have gone North 
We have no oflic»rs, but just get out and shoot over our one trap, 
and shoot hard. Birds are not allowed over 2Cft. from the ground, 
and the trap must throw 60yds., unknown angles. The following 
scores were made at our last shoot:

The Gilbert's Bar Y, C. about a month ago decided to form a shoot- 
ing division and appointed a committee to "do tiie best they could." 
The "best they could" was two traps and a couple of barrels of blue- 
rocks The traps duly arrived and were setupfor use at the last field 
day of the yacht club. All the boys that could muster up courage 
enough to try were sent off by themselves, and the two boldest 
among them announced themselves as captains and chose sides for a 
team race. Only 10 birds were shot, as the time was limited. Only 
three of the shooters had ever faced a trap before, and of course the 
result of the shoot was a large basket of "hen fruit." We hope to do 
better some time. Here is the story of the surprise: Capt. G. E. 
Andrews 4, E. C. B Tyndall 2, Rev. Dr. Panter 0, H. W. Bessey 4, C. 
B. Harrison 1, E. S. Harmer 1, P. M. Aston 2—14; Capt. C H. Racey 1, 
R. N. Hoke 3, e;. Moore 0, G. A. M. Levett 7, H. E. Sewall 4, H. Panter 
0, W. A. Bessey 1—16. The club has appointed the following officers: 
Shoo ing Master, E. C. B. Tyndall; Assistant Shooting Master, H. D. 
McVean. The atmosphere will be full of shot again on June 12, and 
then perhaps the score will be different. H. D. MoVean, Sec'y.

Soo Gun Club. 
Siorx City, la., May 14.— Below find scores of the Soo Gun Club, 
made to day at its grounds, the occasion being the first of the series 
of gold medal shoots during the season of 1897. This was the first 
trial over the new magautrap for the majority of the members. The 
wind blew a gale, and the jack like flight of the bluerocks accounts 
tor the low scores. 
Harris, Boyd and Keefe tied for first, but in the shoot ofE Harris 
won the medal, and will wear it until the shoot of May ■■17. Scores:

was very light, although the day was simply perfect for trap-shoot-

sport on such a day. Below are the scores made:

H. C. B., Harrisburg, Pa.— I have a beagle pup, ten months old, 
which is afflicted with the jerks, as I call it, in his right foreleg and 
shoulder. I noticed it for two months. It is getting worse, and has 
gotten to be a continual twitch, as regular as the heart beats When 
run a short time, he often falls— the same thing when he sleeps, a 
regular jerk. He seems healthy every other way. Can anyihiug be 
done for him? Ads. It is very probably the result of distemper, in 
which case very little can be done for it. Give tonics and feed well.
