Cartledge, 1514 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, is the secretary of the 
club. Shooting will commence on the arrival of the 9:53. A. M. train 
from the Pennsylvania (Broad street) Station. 
From Ravenna. O , comes the following item, which shows that 
Mingo, otherwise John A Flick, still retains his skill in breaking tar- 
gets: "The last shoot for the Portage ctsuuty championship cup 
donated by the E- C Powder Company, and the'handicap gold badge, 
was held on the grounds of the Ravenna Gun Club Tuesday last. 
Sept. 14. The cup was won for the sixth Ume by John A. Flick, of 
Bavenoa, and ih° badge by Frack Spiers, of Atwater. Flick's score 
of 46 is considered good, as these shoots have always been held at 
difiacult ant'lps and flights. Sergeant system. These prizes are now 
the individual property of the winners. After the regular events 
some doubles were shot. Flick breaking 20 straight. These shoots 
have been the best ever held in Portage county, and the E C people 
have the satisfaftion of knowing that their powder won the cup 
donated so generously by them, although under the rules any make 
of powder was allowed." 
W S Brown. 520 -592 Wood street, Pittsburg, Pa., the proprietor of 
the gun store where Old Hoss holds out in the Smokv City, has issued 
a pamphlet containing the latest revision of the A S. A tran-shoot- 
ing tuIps, a svnopsis of the game laws of the States of Penn'syl- 
vania. Ohio and We^t Virginia, and hints on how to form a gun cliib, 
a blank constitution and by-laws eta. The booklet is a good form of 
advertising, and the information contained in it will be found of in- 
terest, to many shooter". We cannot sav, without rele'-ring to Gmne 
Laws in Brief, the standard authority on such questions, whether thie 
game seasors. oppn and close, are correctly given or not. but we sup- 
pose that Old Hoss, who undoubtedly has had a finger in this pie, 
has tried to be as accurate as he usually is in other matters. His 
nickname of "Old Statistics" has been thoroughly well earned. 
Here's a good story on Charlie Floyd, one of the most popular 
shooters around New York, but one wtiose time for shooting is sadly 
curtailed hy his duty to bis employers: A couple of win'ers or so ago 
Charlie was huntine ducks way down on the Delaware Ba.y. Geese 
were such rare visitors to the blinds, that when Charlie knocked one 
down he thought of nothina- else but securing that goose. It fell in 
shallow water, but being only winged made rapid I'rogress for the 
other side of the open water. Not having adog, Charlie went in after 
it, gun in hand. After a short time ihe gun seemed in the way, so 
Charlie laid it down. Then the wa'er began to get deeper, and, ice- 
cold as it was, he started to swim after that goose. To make Ihe story 
short and to get to th" point : The goose got away, and an expensive 
Greener is still at the bottom of Delaware Bay. 
From Sherwood, Md,, comes the follo-m'ng: "The Sherwood Gun 
Club is the title of a new trap-shooting organization which has been 
formed at Sherwood, on the Northern Central By. The club will 
shoot only at clay pigeons, and its traps will shortly be set in a large 
field which has been secured for the purpose. The organization, 
which starts out with about twenty-five members, is govemed by an 
executive board consisting of the regular officers and one member at 
large. This beard is made up as follows: Pres.. C. S. Abell; Vice- 
Pres.. F Smith: Sec'y. B C Howard; Treas., A C. Nelson; Member 
Executive Board, O F. Lackev. Shooting will begin in about a week, 
HDd the board will shortly designate the regular shooting days," 
On Saturday afternoon last, Sept. 18, 1897, Jack Winston shot a 
couple of 100-target races, expert rules, with a certain party, and lost 
both matches. The scores were low, because Jack wanted to throw 
the targets as far and as low as the A. S A. rules would permit. The 
shoot. al=o. took place on 'he Endeavor Gun Club's grounds, at 
Marion. N .J., and that signifies something when it comes to compar- 
ing scores. What we want to get at is the following: After the races 
had been concluded, an inspection of the scores showed the following: 
First race- 76 to 72, defeated by 4 targets. Second race— to 73, de- 
feated by 7 targets : 4 and 7 are" 11. Who will say now that 147 is not a 
fliting title for John L W. ? 
We regret to have to announce the extremely s»udcfen death of Mrs. 
Paul North of Cleveland, O. Her death, which took p'ace on Thurs- 
day afternoon, Sept. 16. was caused by heart failure, trom which 
Mrs North has long been .i sufferer. On the dav above mentioned 
Mrs. Nor h retirpd to her room about :3 P. M., with the intention of 
taking a nap, leaving instructions wilh the servant to call her at 5:i0. 
Her death was not discovered until the return of her husband, Paul 
North, from the cfBce of the Cleveland Target Company, although 
efforts had bpen made by her young son to awaken her at the hour 
set. 5:30 P. M. Mrs North had only just returned to Cleveland from 
a two months' vacation with her family in Marquette. Mich, 
The King's Smokeless Gun Club, of East St Louis, 111., advertises 
its "first anniiBl Interstate amateur shoot, and fourth annual fall 
tournament," Oct. 1-'^, under the joint management of Jack Parker, 
of Detroit, Mich., and Jack Trendley, of East St. Louis. In addition to 
a long list of merchandise prizes for both days' programme, the club 
adds money in several events. In connection with the iirogramme, 
J. M. Trendley writes us: "Please rote that the twenty-two railroads 
entering Eist St Louis will make reduced rates, owing to the fall fes- 
tivitips and the Sc Louis fair, which takes place the week of the 
shoot: and also on account of the parade of the Veiled Prophets, 
which will take place Tuasday, Oct. 5." 
On Thursday of this week. Sepc 23, at 2 P M , there will be a couple 
of individual matches at Marion, N.J- One will be a return match 
between W L, Gardinfr, of Norwalk, O , and Carl von Lcneerke. EC 
targets per man, unknown anglps. The other match will be between 
John 147 L, Winston, and a nominee of Uncle Al Heritage's. The con- 
ditions of this match, which is set for 2 o'clock sharp, are 100 targets, 
expert rules: and 100 targets, unknown angles, tntal score to count. 
The stakes may be termed "plunder." viz.: a dinner for ten at Tay- 
lor's Hotel. Jersey City; a Dunlap hat and a pair of shoes! 
Mr. E. 0 Eaton, treasurer of the Montreal Gun Club, made a new 
record iu the regular monthly shoot of his club on Saturday, Sept. 11, 
The club shoot is at 10 known angles and 10 unknown angles, and 
Messrs. Baton and Aubin tied for the Class A badge with <Q straight: 
on the shoot oif at 5 targets, Mr, Eaton broke his 5, but Mr Aubin lost 
his 2d and 4tb. Mr. Eaton's S5 straight is likely to be a "bogey score" 
for some weeks to come. Mr. D. ,1, Kearney won in Class A with 16 
breaks, none of his classmates being anywhere near him. 
The Rivertou, N. J , Gun Club will hold .i strictly invitation live-bird 
shoot Oct 15-16. On Oct. 15 the main event will he the second "Ralli 
shoot," limited to twenty entries, 90 birds per man. $30 entrance. 
This event will be shot in two squad*. On Saturday, Oct. 1G. the main 
event will he a 60 bird handicap, $50. Entries close Oct. 6, and must 
be accompanied by $10 forfeit. This match will be star ed. unless 
otherwise announced, on the arrival of the 10:30 A. M. train from 
Philadelphia. 
In our last issue, under the head of "In New Jersey," we credited 
Noel Money with winnmg a heat for the Boiling Springs Gun Club's 
silver service at the semi-monthly shoot, held Sept. 1, As Captain 
Money was the winner. Noel Money not taking part in the shoot, the 
Captain now wants to know whether 'he mistake was the result of 
an accident, or of collusion between Noel Money and che trap editor. 
There can be no two opinions as to the action of the Interstate As- 
sociation in making arrangements for holding its Grand American 
Handicap at Elkwood Park next March Chicago could undoubtedly 
take care of the shoot and the participants very satisfactorily, but 
there is only one spot on this side of the Alleghenies that is su, table 
for such a shoot, and that is Elkwood Park. 
Tom Keller put in a day or two in this city last week, but jumped 
out again to make a short trip in the interests of his firms, the King 
Powder Company and the Peters Cartridge Company We did not 
see Tom while he was here, but we learn from a reliable source that 
he has not fallen away at all, in spite of the hot weather and the hard 
licks he has been putting in while on his last trip. 
The Riverside Gun Club, of Eedbank, N. .1 , will pay a visit, with a 
10 men team. TO the Bergen County Gun Club, at Hackensack, N .),, 
on Friday of this week, S?pt. 24. The Riversides are able to get to- 
gether a strong team, but the Bergen County Gun Club can generally 
reckon on the support of its members, and should, be able to give the 
visitors a tough argument. . . ■ 
Manager Sbaner, of the Interstate Association, tells usthat: "After 
I've managed the New .lersey State shoot at Clifton race track, 
Passaic, Sept. 28-Oct. 1 , l"m gotu? to take a rest. I've arranged for 
a hunting trio, and sell and 'Our Jim Denny^s' dog Rupert, the dog 
he gave me at Oil City, will make it interesting for ruffed grouse and 
ijua.il on that trip." 
The men from Belief ontaine, O., won pretty nearly everything in 
sight at the big shoot and picnic at Brush Lake, Sept. 8. According 
to a local exchange, the team, race was close and exciting. Bellefon- 
taine and Columbus tied with 107 breaks each, Ilrbana's team being 
third with 100. Plain City. Mecbanicsburg and Springfield also entered 
teams. Owing to the lateness of the hour when the team race was 
concluded, the shooting off of the tie was postponed until the annual 
picnic and sioot that will be held as usual in l!r9S. The Bellefontaine 
team was composed as follows: George Leidigh, A. Dushane, Gil 
Courter, C Bime', H Lee and Bob Bailey. 
Dr. Hudson, of this city, a member of both the Emerald Gun Club 
and the New York German Gun Club is shooting exceedingly well 
for a man who has as little pracf.ice on live birds as the worthy doctor 
avails himself of. At the regular monthly shoot of the New York 
German G m Club on Wednesday last, Sept. 15, the doctor scored 
every bird he shot at save one, 
Wednesday, Oct. 13, is the date set by the Bergen County Gun Club 
for the sixth (and last but one) shoot for the Recreation cup. The 
shoot will be held, of course, on the club's grounds. Hackensack, N. 
J. The conditions are 50 known and 50 unknown angles. 
~ The Piasa Gun Club, of Alton, 111., will hold a target tournament 
Sept. .30-Oct. 1, at Douglas Park. The shoot will be managed by Jack 
Parker, the popular representative of the King Powder Company and 
the Peters Cartridge Company. 
The regular monthly handicap shoot for the E. C. cup will take 
place at Hackensack, N J., Saturday next, Sept. 25, on the grounds of 
the Bergen Cotmty Gun Club.

IN NEW JERSE7. 
BOILING SPBINGS GUN CLUB. 
Sfept. IS.— The regular semi monthly shoot for the silver tea service 
donated by the Boiling Springs Gun Club, took place this afternoon 
on the club's grounds, Rutherford, N. J. There were eleven com- 
petitors in the main event. Banks winning a heat for the service, after 
a tie with Chris Wrisht. The latter shoofpr, although he has only 
one win for the service, has been very much in evidence in all the 
contests to date, having been in about every tie that has occurred. 
In the last shoot he tied with Capt. Money, but was shot out after a 
good struggle Ed. Taylor shot a good race, scoring 45 out of his 50; 
he was unfortunate enough to lose his first allowancn target, when he 
needed all 5 to make a highest possible. Winston shot strongly, scor- 
ing 33 out of each 2.".; his total of 46 out of 50 was not enough, how- 
ever, as his allowance of 3 extras would not permit of his making a 
highest possihle. He did not, therefore, shoo out his allowance. In 
fact Wright, Taylor and Banks were the only ones who shot out 
their allowances, none of the othei's having a chance for highest pos- 
sible. The handicaps were from 2 (scratch) to 10. This trophy has 
now been shot for six times. Van Dyke has two wins: Capt. Money, 
Chris Wright, Frank Hall and Banks have one win each. Scores in 
this event were as below;

PIGEON SHOOTING AT PLATNFIEIjD. 
Sept. J6.— A group of Plainfield business men and others who are 
fond of a day's outing at the traps had a little shoot in the country 
near that New Jersey city to-day. The pigeons were a lot of fast and 
st-ong country birds, and proved altogether too good for the major- 
ity of the shooters. The prizes were two live geese. The last thing 
seen of Dutchy was a rear view, as he disappeared in the direction of 
Plainfield with the largest goo.se under his arm. The scores in the 7- 
bird event for the geese were:

EHEAKING TARGETS AT MARION. 
Sept. Aseriesof maiches,witb sweepstakes attached, attracted 
a moderate crowd of shooters ana spectators to Ihe grounds of the 
Endeavor Gun Club at Marion this afternoon. The matches were 
two in number: One between Carl von Leneerke and W. L Gardiner, 
the latter of Norwalk, O : and one between J. (147) L Winston and 
E.Banks. Both were at 100 targets per man. but that between Von 
Leugerke and Gardiner was at tmknowu angles, while the match 
between 147 and Banks was at expert rules, one man up. In match 
No. 1 Gartiiner was to have allowed his opponent 8 extra targets to 
shoot at in addition to the 100. but Carl did not need his allowance. 
The pair were tied at the end of the first 25 with 20 each. The second 
25 saw Gardiner 1 in the lead; the third 25 resulted in a gain of 1 for 
Von Lengerke. the two being thus once more a tie, with only 25 more 
to shoot at. In the last S5 Carl broke 23 while Gardiner fell away 
badly in his .^hooting, losing the match by a .substantial majority. 
The above match was supposed to have been started at l:.30 P M., 
but business kept biith the contestants away until quite an hour later 
Toe result was that Win.ston and Banks, who started in at 1 P. M. to 
shoot 1( 0 targets, expert rules, for a Dunlap hat and the targets, 
were able to make a double header, and shoot two matches in place 
of one. Prior to starting the match, both agreed to have the blue- 
rock traps throw the bluerock targets as far and as low as the A S. 
A. would permit. This made the shoolmg very hard, the Endeavor 
Gun CliiD's grounds being notorious around here for bard shooting 
under any conditions No. 5 was an especially low and hard target, 
and 147 found it a perfect hoodoo; he only broke it twice out of the 
first twenty times he shot at it. Winston was not shooting up to his 
lorm; as he put it, he felt loo good to do good shooting. Anyway, 
he was very slow and dustei lots of targets. The results of the two 
matches were wins for Banks, who thus holds a cinch on two Dunlap 
hats, fall styles Under the original conditions Winston was to have 
allowed Banks 5 extra targets to shoot at, or 105 in all to his 100; the 
allowance, however, wax not needed in either match. The match 
wasrefereed by A. R. Strader. secretary of the Endeavor Gun Club; 
the same gentleman acting as master of the indicator. Jim Hildreth, 
of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, who was suffering 
from a maimed toot, owing to his having stubbed his toe the night, 
previous in a Turkish bath, acted as score.keeper. Scores in these 
two matches were as below: ,

GARFIELD GUN CLDB 
.5'ep*. is.— The Garfield Gun Club held its regular weekly shpot on 
its grounds this afternoon. There was a fairly good attendance, con- 
sidering the fact that the I5lh comrs in this week, and that this is the 
time most of our Illinois shooters are away chicken shooting. 
This month winds UD the regular shoo s for the SPRSon of lS97,and 
some good scores are being made and hard work done by some few 
who rival each other for the yearly medal. In some instances there 
is but 1 or 2 birds difference on the ten best scores of the season, and 
there is no certainly who the winners are as yet. Following are the 
scores of this week's shoot:

CICERO GDN CLUB, 
Sep* 18.— The following are Sf-ores of members of Cicero Gun Club, 
of Oak Park, 111., who attended the grounds to-day. The attendance 
was light and the poor scores of the participants "were largely due to 
the strong wind from the left quarter across the traps, making the 
flight of the targets very erratic. 
Twenty-five targets, known traps, unknown angles.
