Fort Smith Gun Club. 
DRT Smith, Ark., July 6.— The attendance was small at the regu- 
weekly shoot Thursday— too much Fourth of July and the ex- 
ive heat being, no doubt, the causes. 
le traps and trap boys had also evidently had too much Fourth 
■hey proceeded to break birds with great success; 1,000 birds 
; used m an attempt to run off the shoot, 50 per cent, of them 
king 111 the traps. 
atthews won Class A medal on 38 out of the first 50 birds he 
at, and Bob Hunt won Class B on a score of 23 out of the 
c number. The poor shooting was largely due to the breaking 
he birds m the traps, a shooter having in manv instances to 
pull a half dozen times before he would get a 'bird to shoot 
^hich IS very trying on the nerves. Following are the scores-

CJncinnatti Gun Club. 
Little Rock, Ark. —It is becoming universally customary all 
over the country for the gun clubs to celebrate Independence Day 
\vith a shoot so it is but natural that so progressive a club as Cin- 
cinnati can boast of should keep up with the drift of time Mr 
Iheo loucar, a local boniface, has recently donated the club a 
very handsome sup for competition, and the directors decided to 
hold the inaugural contest on this date. The conditions were 100 
targets, handicap event. This showed nineteen entries, of which 
three made a possible total-Dreihs, Waddell and ITeikes, with 
handicaps respectively of 17, 22 and 5. Heikcs made the highest 
total, scoring 9o out of his 100, which enabled him to get in the 
tie, but Dreihs won in the shoot-off. None of the other contest- 
ants scored 90 without their handicap. Squires, with 89, was the 
nearest approach to this. The trophy is subject to challenge, and 
Arthur Campbel , the hu,stling superintendent of the club, is the 
first one to shy his castor at the holder.

..■hL^k'-"'-^'"'' the shooters of the city and State were also trans-

done this annually on this date for the past six years. The urin-

Pawling Rod and Gun Club. 
Pawling, N. Y., July 4.-The attendance was light although the 
programme was attractive The great amount of sl ootin^ offered 
everywhere on July 4 no doubt split up the shooting support into 
fine parts. There were twelve events on th fuppoit into 
total of 190 targets and $15.05 entrance. The scores: 
Sheffield Gun Club. 
Lorain, O., July 5. — A very good afternoon's sport was enjoyed 
on Tuesday, .]uly 4, shooting commencing at 1:30 P. M. and 
contmuing until dark. Several of our best and most regular shoot- 
ers were unable to be with us, but their places were well filled 
by Messrs. Lola, Gold Dust, W. T. and St. Clair, of Cleveland 
and Glcuville gun clubs, who paid us a surprise visit. 
Our magautrap, thanks to a new eccentric kindly supplied by the 
Cleveland Target Co. at the last moment, worked as we have 
never seen it work before, only 15 birds out of 1,800 being broken 
by the trap. 
The most noticeable performances of the afternoon were two 
straight 15s by Dr. Trombley, one by G. Freeland; 9 out of 10 
doubles by W. Freeland and 6 straight doubles by Gold Dust, 
whose rapid manipulation of his "pump" surprised those who 
were not acquainted with the speed possibilities of that weapon. 
Below will be found full scores. Events Nos. 5 and 6 were 
handicap sweepstaltes; Nos. 7, 10, 12, 15 and 18, scratch sweeps, 
and No. 17 a scratch sweep at 10 double rises:

Filchburg Rifle and Gun Club. 
FxTCHBURG, Mass., July 7.— The Fitchburg Rifle and Gun Club 
held a very successful all-day shoot July 4. The day was fine, 
though too hot for comfort. Only twenty shooters turned out to 
enjoy the sport. Some very good scores were made, though some 
of the shooters to whom we look for good work were somewhat 
off-color. E. R. Wilbur was easily high man, both morning and 
afternoon. He shot in a way that made the others realize they 
would have to get on their shooting clothes to keep in sight of him 
in the future. He retained the captaincy of Team 1, the only one 
thus far having the honor twice in succession. 
Russell and Cutler, who have just returned from a two weeks' 
h.shing trip in Nova Scotia, seemed to be still dreaming of fish, 
which may account for their poor showing at the traps Tuesday, 
while Converse, was somewhat unnerved by their reports, as he 
IS about to spend ten days in New Hampshire. Others had to 
fall back on their old familiar excuses— open guns, poor ammuni- 
tion, etc. Ihe scores are as follows: 
Team 1. 
' 10 Regulars. 10 Unknown. 10 Reverse.
