Haverhill Qua Clafa. 
Lynn, Mass., Aug. 12.— In writing of the shoot of the Haverhill 
Gun Club on Aug. S, it would be quite proper to say that there 
was "a small, but very select, company present.' _ 
VVliile the number of shooters was a disappointment, the 
shoot itself was a \erv enjoyable affair. . What wind there was 
blew from score to traps, and Icept the targets rather_ low m 
flight, which, taken in connection with the speedy gait given 
them and the mixed background, made the shooting difficult, and 
the scores made under the existing conditions speak volumes for 
the talent ptesent. , , . , . 1 ,.j 
Many of the club members who regularly attend the holiday 
and Saturday afternoon practice shoots are so situated _ that at- 
tending a shoot any other day than the ones mentioried is out ot 
the question which accounts for the small number , of such being 
present, although many of them turned up after lunch. 
In the mind of the writer, wlio, by the way, was one of the 
committe on arrangements, the making of one event ot the iUU- 
target event is open to criticism. Should a like situation again 
present itself, he would be in favor of making each of the 25 
targets a distinct event, with such money added to each as the 
club mirht elect, in which case those who are not capable of 
holding a 90 per cent, pace through the long event would have a 
chance to drop into the money by making one good rally m one 
or more of the 25-bird events. The winners of the event m ques- 
tion were: Leroy first, 91; Dickey, second, 91, and the writer 
scratched in third with 88. , r 1. ^ 
On the completion of the programme the out-of-town shooters 
left for Portland to take part in the Interstate, while the club 
int mbfcrs shot until late in the day. 
Later in the season we: hope ito. hoM another shoot with more 
^'6n "account of the late arrival of Capt. and Harold Money, the 
100-bird race was put over for the la^t event. They admitted ar- 
riving in Boston on time, but were very late in reaching Haver- 
'hi!l. They ate breakfast in Boston, and being unacquainted 
with the Boston menu, probably ordered beans, and tried to chew 
each individual one; hence their late arrival. _ 
Tack Fanning turned up all right, but there being nothing more 
than a box of cigars in sight for high average (he being m the 
habit of walking off with silver mugs, diamonds, etc.), he showed 
no disposition to exert himself, and as a result did not shoot his 
usual clip. .,, ,.„ 1 . T ■ ■ 
Any one examining the score will readiUj- see that l-,eroy is 
shooting at a gait that will make a "rocky road" for any expert 
to travel who beats him. He does it in a seemingly easy manner, 
and never "strains his gun" with long-distance shooting. 
Harold Money inveigled the Captain into shooting a 25-target 
race for price of targets, and beat the Governor out by 1 bird. 
While Admiral Courtney did not make a: straight at the traps, he 
did not miss once at lunch, or, if so, it was not scored against 
Our secretary being absent, Ned Tozier acted as cashier, 
giving general satisfaction, and Capt. Miller looked after the 
running of the shoot in his usual finished manner.

St. Louis Doings — Busch Medal. 
St. Louis, Aug. 12.— P. M. Kling met defeat at the hands of 
H. C. Greisedick, the holder of the Busch challenge medal, in a 
contest for this trophy at Du Pont Park. Kling is the third 
aspirant who has thus "been dealt with by Greisedick in a contest 
of this nature, but in order to bring this about the holder had to 
extend himself and dispose of his 25 birds without a skip, for 
Kling was in the best of form and killed straight up to the_19th 
bird. This loss, however, proved fatal to his chances, and if he 
is still ambitious to gain possession of the medal he must renew 
his efforts. Greisedick now has four wins to his credit, and if he 
meets with success in two more contests he will retire the trophy. 
The birds in this race, T am informed, should have been a very 
good lot.

A Fall Toufoament. 
Manager J. A. Corray writes me that it is his intention to hold 
a four days' shoot at Du Pont Park, St. Louis, during the early 
p.irt of October, and will be prepared to announce his date within 
the next week. He expects to add from S300 to .$500, and will 
devote from one to two da>*s to live birds. This tou.''nament will 
probably precede the Belle Meade shoot. 
Kaw Town CulUags. 
Kansas Gity,, Aug. S.— The fie of the Gottlieb-Sweet, Alleti-Beach 
match was shot off to-day and resulted in a win for the former 
by a score of 48 to 45. It was intended to defer a settlement of this 
tie until the weather got cooler, but as Jim Sweet_ is compelled 
by business reasons to leave Kansas City for a wlule the matter 
was disposed of to-day and brought about the above result. 
Gottlieb and Sweet duplicated their previous score, as did. Allen, 
but Beach was unable to do this, and thereby lost the match for 
his side. Allen went through without a skip, while Gottlieb lost 
one dead out of bounds. 
This was also the regular day {of tlie Washington Park Club, 
and their club contest preceded the race. In this Allen also 
killed straight, as did Planck and Gottlieb, but as the latter is 
not a member of the club his score did not count. Allen disposed 
of Planck in the shoot-off by killing 8 birds straight. This evi- 
dently was Allen's day, as he killed all the birds he shot at, having 
a run of 46 to his credit. This performance was the feature of the 
day. 
The scsces of Sweet .and Gottlieb were us follows:
