Several tadiea favored tlie cliih with their presence, among them 
being Mrs. Scott Robertson and Misses Maude Echols and Agnes 
Oglesby. Miss Oglesby toolc part in the shootmg, and her per- 
formance of 50 per cent, of her birds on the first trial at the 
traps must be stamped as first class. This lady will shoot regularly 
with the club hereafter. , . , , , , „c 
Burden is the coming man of the club and will make some ot 
the old-timers hustle before the season is over; m fact, he is 
doing it now. , , . ^ ^ j 
The dates of the shoots have been changed from baturday to 
Thursday of each week. On next Thursday the club will hold a 
live bird handicap shoot in addition to the regular target events. 
All who wish -to take part in the live bird events should at once 
motify Mr. Joe Matthews, to give time to secure birds for them. 
All who care to shoot are invited. Targets will be thrown at 1 
cent each and live birds will be trapped at just what they cost 
the club. All birds will have to be paid for on the grounds, as 
the club does not keep a collector. 
Following are the scores:

WESTERN TRAPS. 
Among the Trade in Cleveland, 
Cleveland, O., June 8.— I have earlier spoken of the long-con- 
tinued illness of Mr. R. T. Coleman, president of the Austin I'ow- 
der Co. It is something of a pleasure to say that Mr. Coleman 
is out and around again, but he very sensibly declines to have 
very much to do with business yet, and is keeping away from his 
office as much as possible, waiting until he gets well before He 
goes back into the harness. Mr. A. Lent, president of the Austin 
Catridge Co. was out of the city when 1 called, and the omce 
was hlld down by Mr. Kendrick, himself looking very brown and 
hearty Mr. Kendriclv said he was just back from a hshing trip 
to the .St. Claire Flats, and that he had left Mr. Lent enjoying 
himself very much in the same pastime, and uncertain whether lie 
would not rather keep on fishing than ever to come back to busi- 
ness at all. There be wise men in Cleveland, who can hustle,- and 
also rest good and hard when the time comes. 
Amono- other business absentees from Cleveland this week was 
Mr Paul North, of the Cleveland Target Co., who was, of course, 
over at Buffalo, and with his hands full. Had it not been for 
the happy resurrection of an extra magautrap or two at iiutlalo, 
the unexpected crowd would have swamped the shoot; but as it 
is the trap columns of Forest and Stream will, methinks, tell 
another story. The Cleveland Target Co. are up to their eyes 
'"speaking of sickness and the like, reminds one of the very 
serious accident which befell Dr. T. D. Rowley, of Cleveland, 
early last April. Dr. Rowley was caught between two street cars 
and ground apparently almost to pieces. I saw him a little while 
ago. looking very pale, with his arm in a sling and a broken shoul- 
der giving him a great deal of trouble; but he was bright and 
plucky, and declared that the injured shoulder (his right one) 
would soon be as good as ever and so he could shoot again. 
Dr Rowley is the inventor of one of the most useful and widely 
accepted little appliances known in the trap-shooting world, the 
"Rowley cheek pad," which is described m the advertising col- 
umns of Forest and Stream. This pad enables one to make a 
trap gun out of his field gun. it renders the alignment of the 
comb of the stock more nearly parellel with that of the barrels, 
giving a Monte Carlo shape to the stock, and is so distinct an 
aid to the trap-shooter that it bids fair to become a universal 
necessity. I hope that Dr. Rowley will soon be able to use one of 
these pads himself. He and his partner, Mr. Blinkhorn, helped 
make enjoyable the stay of the Forest and Stream man at 
Cleveland.

Fort Smith Gun Club. 
Fort Smith, Ark., June 9.— A special attraction in the shape of 
a live-bird shoot brought out the crowd of the season, and prob- 
ably aroused sufficient interest to assure a successful shooting 
club for the balance of the year. 
It was intended to have sufficient live birds to run a 10-bird, 
$1 sweep, but the time for securing them was so short — only 
four days' notice being given — that it was not possible to get a 
full supply. The entries also exceeded expectations, and those 
who wanted to shoot had to content themselves with four birds 
each. 
It is proposed to have a tournament in the near future, one 
and a half days at targets, to conclude with a 25-Hve-bird, $25 
entrance, handicafi, high guns. This tournament will be run oflf 
a few days preceding the Arkansas State tournament, which takes 
place at Little Rock, to enable tliose attending to take in both 
shoots on the same trip. 
It rained hard during the process of the shooting, but nothing 
seemed to dampen the ardor of the sportsmen and the fun went on. 
Matthews has regained his form and goes along grinding them 
out as if he had a mortgage on them, which is quite gratifying 
to his many friends, who feared he had gone back. 
Knott of Jenny Lind, showed form for the first time over these 
traps. JHe has shot here a number of times, but has never been 
able to strike his gait, consequently he and his friend Mr. Du 
Bose were very much pleased at his success. 
Jack O'Keiff says he is working a "system" on 'em now and 
don't expect to miss any more this season. It is to be hoped his 
"system" will work out to his entire satisfaction. 
The club shoots every Thursday evening, about 4:30, and all 
who care to shoot are welcome. Targets are thi-own for 1 cent 
each. 
Goodman's wagonette will leave the Grand Central for the 
shooting grounds each Thursday evening at 4 o'clock for the 
convenience of those desiring to attend, a reasonable fare being 
charged to and from the park. 
Following are the scores:
