Chicago, 111., May 27.— The country about Eureka Gun Club

of the club members gathered to take advantage of the pleasant 
weather. There were three squads, with something to spare most 
of tlie time, and the sport was kept up until after 5 o'clock. The 
Class A trophy was won by W. D. Stannard, 25 straight. Dr. Mil- 
ler won Class B trophy on 19, J. L. Tones Class C trophy with 
16, and Mrs. Dr. Carson the Class D trophy with 17, the latter 
shooting also with equal success in some of the sweeps whicit 
followed the regular events. 
Among others present were Mr. E. H. Ford, of the new Velox 
.smokeless powder, the latest nitro to claim the attention of the 
trap shooters. Jack Fanning, of the Gold Dust, was also on hand 
on his way East from the Iowa shoot. The afternoon shoot was 
pleasant in every particular. The following are the scores;

Von Lengerke — Dtipee. 
On last Monday Messrs. Oswald von Lengerke and Walter 
Dupee met to settle their postponed race at 100 live birds at 
Watson's and before they got done they had shot two races, one 
in the morning and one in the afternoon, and honors remained 
easy for the day, although Mr. Von Longerke won the race at 
the earlier contest between these two gentlemen. Mr. Von Lon- 
gerke gave Mr. Dupee a mark of 27yds. and 4 birds added to 
his score, he himself standing at 30yds. In the first race, in the 
morning, there was strong wind to the right quarter, and the 
birds were prompt; only 2 were flagged. Both men shot along 
in good shape indeed. Mr. Von Longerke making the fine score 
of 93, easily distancing his competitor, who retired with 81. 
Mr. Dupee shot a plucky race, although his gun was pound- 
ing his cheek badly. Young, and of very slight physique, Mr. 
Dupee none the less does a great deal of shooting, and can 
stand a long race far better than one would suppose. He seemed 
at least to have confidence in his own ability to repeat, and he 
challenged Mr. Von Longerke to shoot the race over again, this 
time to give him 8 birds added to his score. This looked easy 
enough on the basis of the earlier race, but did not prove so 
in the event, Mr. Dupee beating his man _ even without the 
handicap. Mr. Von Longerke was troubled with a bad headache 
and appeared more tired than his youthful rival. He saved him- 
self all he could by the use of the first barrel, but did not finish 
quite as strong as Mr. Dupee, who was fresh as paint. .The latter 
shot his Purdey gun with 2%in. trap, 3% Schultz powder. Mr. 
Von Longerke used his Francotte gun, the same powder in trap 
and leader shell, both shooting No, 7 shot. In the second race 
both used smokeless cases, and Mr. Von Longerke, having a gun 
with ^ long chamber, could not find at the grounds just the load 
he wished, neither man having cotne prepared (or the seeonti 
race. The following are the scores:

Eureka Gun Club. 
Chicago, 111., May 20. — The day was anything but favorable for 
target shooting, it being dark and the wind blew very hard. It 
was cold enough for winter clothes, but with a good fire in the 
club house and plenty of shooting at the traps the Eureka Guii 
Club members enjoyed a pleasant afternoon. Some very good 
scores were made considering the weather. All of the events were 
shot over the magautrap, excepting the Mussey cup event, which 
was shot over five traps, one man up. 
In the preliminary event at 25 targets, the scores were: Mack 
18, Morgan 20. Mrs. Carson 11, Cunnyngham 23, Matthews 20, 
A. W. Adams 17, Lovell 16, Cornwall 15, P. Adams 11, Dr. Miller 
17, E. Adams 17, F. P. Stannard 19, J. L. Jones 15, W. D. Stan-
