JEANETTE GUN CLUB. 
July 15.— The July shoot of the Jeanette Gun Club took place 
to-day at the club grounds, inside the Guttenberg racetrack. The 
birds were an average summer lot, helped out of bounds somewhat 
by the fairly strong breeze blowing away from the shooters to the 
left. An old bird, once on the wing, went out in a hurry if not 
stopped quickly. 
A number of the members labored under disadvantages. Mr. 
J. Vagts did not bring his gun with him and used one that did 
not quite fit him. This accounts for his 5 straight misses in the 
club contest. The right lock mainspring of Otten's gun broke and 
he used Mr. Steffen's Parker. Pop Bigelow didn't bring- 
any gun either, but just used "any old gun," and won 
the Class B trophy with only one miss, using a U. M. C. 
machine load, 12ga. , 3Vidrs. E. C, l^oz. No. 7 chilled shot, with 
llga. wads loaded for the club. Mr. Rottman shot Mr. Chas. 
Meyer's high gun very well. Schorty shot in good form and won 
the Class A trophy from the 32yd. mark, using U. M. C. machine- 
loaded Schultze shells, but if the birds had been better he would 
not have got the 24 out of 25 that he luckily scored. 
The club shoots a 50yd. borindary — an imaginary line between 
stakes — and every shooter will acknowledge that it is a more diffi- 
cult one than a wire fence boundary, which oftentimes stops hard- 
hit, low-flying birds. Capt. Disch filled out the squad in the team 
race. He had not shot for years, and his score shows the lack 
of practice. The Captain has charge of arranging the boundary 
and is the official trap-puller, of the club, and has been since 
the club was organized. It pained the members muchly to see 
our old charter member miss so often.

CLIMAX GUN CLUB. 
July 16.— The opening of the new grounds of the Climax Gun 
Club, near Fanwood, N. J., was an event out of the common in 
the good sport afforded at the traps and the good fellowship which 
prevailed. The grounds are most pleasingly situated close by the 
hotel of Mr. Ceo. Thatcher, of mmsti-el fame. Thos. H. Keller, 
of the King Smokeless Powder Co., was the club captain, and 
he was unceasing in his efforts to keep the shoot going and 
making the event a pleasure for all in attendance. He succeeded 
admirably well in both. Mr. Neaf Apgar assisted in the cashier's 
department. ' Mr. Keller's son acted as scorer. 
The Climax Gun Club and Dunellen Gun Club had a team race, 
20 targets per man, seven-men teams, Climax winning by a score 
of 101 to 94. The scores in the team race, follow :

BROOKLYN GUN CLUB. 
July 9. — The monthly shoot of the Brooklyn Gun Club, held to- 
day, had a fair support, considering that the dull season is now 
here. The main event was the club cup, at 50 targets. In this 
event there were ten competitors, all with a handicap excepting 
Mr. Banks, who was the only scratch man in the contest. 
Amend and Waters, both with liberal handicaps, tied on 50. 
Amend,- who now shoots a Winchester repeater, is improving 
greatly in his scores.. '

Mr. E. S. Rice, of Chicago, has been making a two weeks' trip 
in the East. He was in New York last week, thence going to Wil- 
mington, Del., to visit the Du Pont powder works. 
Seattle Gun Club. 
Seattle, Wash., July 11. — Inclosed you will find the scores of 
our last shoot at the West Seattle grounds.' Ellis and W. A. 
Hardy carried off the honors at the shoot yesterday afternoon. 
In the medal shoot at 30 birds Ellis got his last 20 straight. He 
dropped his 10th bird, making his score 29, but with his handicap 
he got the maximum 30. W. A. Hardy fell off his pinn < 
fame a little in this event, and could only finish with 22, but Ito 
never shot his handicap. Chellis got his two extra birds and WS.de 
his score 27. Hall got 4 of his 5, which gave him 28. Spencer got 
9 out of his 12 allowance, and was in the same hole with Bige — 28. 
Moreton though pulled out of the fire with 8 out. of 12, and finished 
second with 29 to his credit. 
W. A. Hardy and Chellis shot a match for the Norton medal, and 
Hardy won after a hard struggle. Hardy got 22 out of 25 and Chel- 
lis got 21; then they both shot at the number of birds they had 
missed and tied at 24 apiece. They concluded to shoot it off in 
the next event and Hardy won with 13 out of 15, as against '10 
for Chellis. 
Stevens, Hood and Churchill did not attend the shoot yesterday. 
Ellis, Chellis and Hardy arc all doing good shooting now, 
Seattle came out on top at the Vancouver shoot, winning four 
out of the six trophies, and they are all displayed in the windows 
of the Hardy, Hall Arms Co., and certainly make a very pretty 
showing. 
The boys have five trophies now, as they also have the State cup; 
Christianson, of Butte, Mont., has been in the city since the 
Vancouver shoot, and was over with the boys yesterday and did 
very good shooting, getting 27 out of 30 in the handicap shoot 
from the scratch. The visitors are always welcome.

Forester Gun Club. 
Albany, N. Y., July 10.— The first tournament of the Forester 
Gun Club was held here July 13. The attendance was not as 
large as we anticipated. The day opened very cloudy, with every 
indication of rain ; this alone kept several from attending. The 
wind blew hard in the face of the shooters, making the targets 
take some very erratic flights. Part of the background was a 
dark foliage and this in a measure is accountable tor the rather 
low scores. 
The trade was represented by W. L. Colville, who fully upheld 
the merit of the Gold Dust powder. There was a very pleasant ex- 
pression in his dark eyes when he was informed that three out of 
the five averages were captured with this favorite brand. Mr. J. R. 
Hull, representing Parker Bros., makers of the celebrated Parker 
gun, was present, but arrived too late to take part in any of the 
regular events. 
The programme consisted of twelve 15 bird events; entrance 
$1.30. Purses divided 35, 30, 20 and 15 per cent. In addition there 
were five merchandise prizes for average. The paid men were not 
permitted to win any of these. The average prizes were awarded 
as follows: Livingston, first; Valentine, second; Weeks, third; 
Arnold fourth; Doremus, firth. The magautrap was used and it 
worked very satisfactorily in every way.

The Grand American Handicap. 
Pittsburg, Pa., July 14.— Editor Forest and Stream: The In- 
terstate Association has arranged all preliminary details pertain- 
ing to the seventh annual Grand American Handicap tournament 
and contracts have been signed for the holding of this great 
event at Elkwood Park, Long Branch, N. J., April 11, 12 and 13, 
1899. ' 
The requirements and exacting details connected with a tour- 
nament of the scope of the Grand American Handicap are of 
such a nature as would necessitate the securing of the most per- 
fectly appointed shooting grounds obtainable for the holding of 
the event. The Elkwood Park grounds to-day are unrivaled No 
finer arrangements could be made for live-bird shooting and 
none equal to them exist in this or any other country There- 
fore the Interstate Association feels confident that its selection of 
these grounds will meet with the hearty approval of a great 
majority of those who contemplate taking part in the tournament.
