RUMORED. 
It was rumored last week that Dr. Gagnon, of New Yort city, who 
is this week present at the horse show and is winning about every- 
thing in sight, was to shoot a live bird race with Mr. W. P. Mussey. of 
this city. This is no doubt the same Dr. Gagnon whose name has 
figured in some hot individual races in the East, in which he was 
described as a Chicago man. He might not have a strictly easy time 
with the ''Parson" justnow, as the latter in a little practice run at Wat- 
son's this week killed 49 out of 60 and 94 out of 100, on good stiff 
birds. 
OBITnARY. 
Mr. E. B. Knott, ex-secrotary of the Cook County League, died of 
pneumonia this week. The attack was very sudden. Mr. Knott 
attended the League shoot next to the last one, and was then appar- 
ently in perfect health. E. Hough.

Nov. 6. — The regular monthly shoot of the Boiling Springs Gun 
Club was held this afternoon. This shoot was tbe first of the new 
series that lasts from November. 1697, to April, 189S The new handi- 
caps in the club event, vrhich is at BO targets, unknown angles, not 
having been fixed to date, the handicaps which prevailed in the series 
which concluded last month were used to-day. Capt. Wise, the re- 
cently elected captain of the club, will attend to this matter before 
the first Saturday in December. To day's shoot was poorly attended ; 
the scarcity of shooters was entirely attributable to the open season 
on game in the S^^ates of New York and New Jer.sey. The weather 
was fine, clear and cold; but there was a gale blowingfrom the north- 
west that played all sorts of pranks witb the targets. In the club 
shoot there were eight entries; out of this number there were four 
ties on 39 for first place, one scored S8, one scored 37, another 34 and 
the eightb 33. In all fairness to the captain, Mr. Wise, who won the 
booby prize, it should be said that, in addition to his having two 
strange guns and strange ammunition, he had to stack up against the 
malign inflaence of a rabbit's foot. Among those who took part in 
the shoot was W. M Harding, an enthusiastic sportsman, but one 
whose business does not permit, save at great intervals, of any prac- 
tice at the trap Mr. Hardinghasnot shot at atarget since March last.

Tri|)p Defeats Thompson for the Cup. 
Ckawfoedsville, Ind , Nov. 4.— The Grand Hotel cup, emblematie 
of the amateur championship of Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan 
and Illinois, was to-day the object of an interesting match between 
Mr. M. W. Thompson, of Lafayeue, and Mr E. H. Tripp, of the Lim- 
ited Gun Ciub of Indianapohs. This cup is perhaps the handsomest 
and most valuable trophy open to competition of amateur target 
shooters. It wa=< first won in the autumn cf 1895 by Mr. H. J. Lyons, 
of Louisville, Ky.. after being tied by Geo. Elliott, of Rochester, "ind., 
on 49 out of 50, The next year, Mr. O. V. Eblesisor, of New Albaoy, 
Md,, and Royal Robinson tied on 46, and the former won on the 
shoot-off This year tbe conditions were changed to 100 targets in- 
stead of 50, and the winner must defend the cup against challengers. 
Mr, Thompson was the winner over a field of twenty-nine, with the 
good score of 91 on very hard targets. 
He was promptly challenged by Mr. Tripp, and the match to-day 
was the result. Boih gentlemen are old sweepstake shooters, but 
this was their first experience in a match, and the natural Dervous- 
ne.'s under the curcumstances was visible in the first string of 25. 
Tripp lost the tth, 7th 8th, 15th and 19th. while Thompson dropped 
the 2d, 3d, 5th, 13th, 21st and S3d. Each scored 2i3 in the second 
quarter, which left Tripp one ahead at the half, the scores being 43 to 
41. But Thompson was coming fast, and ran straight from the 37th 
to the TOth, and looked like a winner, as he was then one ahead. He, 
however, lost 3 in 8, and finished the third string with another 22, 
making 63 out of 75. Tripp missed only one in this string, and was 
3 to the good with 66. In the last quarter he lost 5, and Thompson 
with 2 to shoot at. stood to tieif he broke both; butthe strain was too 
much, and he missed them, leaving Tripp the winner by a score of 86 
to 84. 
These figures look small, but the targets were thrown hard and 
tnere was a gusty wind blowing directly from behind, making them 
dip under the load at times in a way which defied calculation. There 
are four or five men in the Limit ed'Gun Club who think they can beat 
Tripp, and the probability is there will be a warm time on their 
grounds this winter. 
In the meantime, any ou'sider who wants the cup can get a race by 
complymg witb the conditions, which require a deposit of $10 with 
the secretary at time of ^challenge, and a like amount on or before 
the day of the match. 
Mr. Tripp also beat Ed. Voris, of this city, in a match at 50 targets

How Shot is Made in St. Louis. 
The latest shot-producing fiim in the United States is the fii-m 
operating the Markle Lead Works, St. Louis, Mo. In a circular 
issued by the above firm, occurs the following: 
"In the construction of our tower, great care has been taken to im- 
prove upon existing methods of manufacturing shot. We have, in 
addition to a 300ft. height of tower, a 'Oft. well. Not only does this 
well give us an additional distance for the shot to drop, but its atmos- 
phere is of such low temp' rature that the shot in falling through it, 
i^ hardened more than it would be by falling three times the distance' 
through ordinary air. It is desirable to have shot as round as possi- 
ble. When the load leaves the gun the perfect shot goes further and 
give.« much more accurate results than the imperfect, which scatters 
and flies off' in different directions according to the degree of its im- 
perfection. In our works we have so arranged the machinery that 
the shot is never permitted to fall after it comes out of the well. In 
our factory we have the most rigid inspection, and only shot of 
superior quality is bagged. It is polished twice; once immediately 
after drying, and again before going into the bin preparatory to bag- 
ging. We use an automatic weighing machine tnat insures greater 
accuracy than can poss-ibly be obtained by hand. Any number of 
our bags may be weighed and found to contain exactly 251bs, net, in 
addition to the weight of the bag. We furnish a quality of chilled 
shot that will please tbe most f asiidiou.s. " 
The Markle Lead Works manufacture the "Success" brand of shot 
As in all other shot works, the shot is manufactured in the usual 
manner. The lead is melted at the top of the tower, and is then 
poured into a pan with holes in the bottom of it; psns with larger or 
smaller holes in them are used, according to the size of shot it is de- 
sired to turn out. The molten lead comes through the holes in the 
pan in a round form, that is, when it le«ves the pan it is round shot, 
but molten. The fall through the air is designed to give it time to 
cool, so that when it strikes the water it will not HsMen.— Adv.
