Intercity Team Race. 
Arrangements are now pending whereby the hrsl of a series of 
three team races between ten men from Kansas City and a like 
number from Omaha will be shot at the former place during the 
first week in Oetober-cither the 2d or 5th has been suggested, so 
that this event will either precede or follow the Elliott-Crosby 
matches, which occur on the 3d and 4th. At Omaha 1 was' assured 
that thev were ready and willing to shoot at any time and to 
either g6 to Kansas City or to entertain that delegation at home. 
While at Kansas City I was informed that the above date would 
suit them, and that negotiations would at once be opened with a 
view to having the Omaha shooters agree to come on one of these 
days. Probably in another week we will be able to speak deftnitely 
ill this matter. 
St. Louis Doings. 
St ' Louis Mo., Sept. 9.— The Griesedick-Sutnpter match for the 
possession of th4 Bu'seh medal was f O^Pr^n^^^^ to-day 
and resulted in "no contest" after each had shot , at 50 birds. Ihe 
conditions are 25 birds per man, but in this original number each 
shooter accounted for 24, so that a shoot-ofi was naturally in or- 
der which, however, fai'led to bring about a decision, notwith- 
standing that each shot at 25 birds. This time the contestants 
scored all their birds, so that the final score was 49 out of 50. 
Both lost birds were dead out of bounds. Sumpter lost a twisting 
outgoer, while Griesedick lost a rapid towering incomer. The 
Hrds for the first part of the race were a tair lot, but the latter 
half were very ordinary. Had Griesedick scored a victory to-day 
he would have retired the medal, as he has already won. it five 
times In about two weeks these shooters will meet again, and 
the result will probably then be more decisive. The »cores:

Omaha Gun Club. 
Omaha, jSTeb. Sept. 9.— Every Saturday afternoon during the 
months of May, June, July, August and September the members 
of this club will gather to contest with one another for club honors, 
which is settled in a 20-target race during the afternoon A shoots 
er can at any time, by previously announcing it, shoot his score 
to count as the club event. Thus to-day Grant made but one 
straight score, but this came when it counted most and thereby 
he carried oS the honors of the day. On the other hand Loomis, 
who actually outshot Grant, is low man, for the time he an- 
nounced his club score he could only break 14 though he made 
three 18s, a 19 and two 20s, and finished with 43 straighht Par- 
melee was also unfortunate, as in four trials he broke two straight, 
but in his club score he got but 18. This shooter made one run 
of 50 without a miss. . , . ^, i -i

O. K, Gun Club. 
Kansas City. Mo., Sept. 14.— The O. K. Gun Club, which has 
done no shooting since last May, as the members of this organiza- 
tion are opposed to shooting pigeons during the hot weather, re- 
sumed their regular monthly contests to-day, and on this occa- 
sion shot two scores, the first counting as the June score and the 
other for September. F. N. Cockrell was high man in the first 
trial making a clean score. Gottlieb was but one behind. The 
second trial'proved quite a surprise, as all of the best shots showed 
poor form and those who do not rank among the high averages 
came to the front. C. B. Cockrell, J. W. McCurdy and Kit Colyer 
tied on 17, and the latter won by virtue of a forfeit, as neither of 
the others responded when called for a shoot-off. The birds were 
quite active, and to this may be attributed the ordinary shooting 
of some of the members. 
The scores:

Here and There* 
Mr. W, Fred Ouimby, the affable representative of the .Ameri- 
can E. C. & Schultze Powder Co., has been spending a few days 
at Blue Lake, near Onawa, la., bass fishing in company with 
Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Townsend, of Om.aha, Neb. ^{r. Ouimby will 
attend the Hastings tournament and will then make a tour of the 
Pacific Coast in the interest of his company, returning in time to 
be present at the Belle Meade tournament. 
Mr. Herman C. Hirchey, of St. Paul, won the championship of 
TNIinnesota at the St, Pawl tournament t>y scoriiig 44 out of 50 
shooting at 26 single and 12 pairs and scoring 22 of each. His 
shooting on the doubles was particularly good, but Mr. Hircney 
has often demonstrated that he is capable of some capital per- 
formances. 
Mr. C. H. Curtice won the club trophy at the last club contest 
of the Dupont Gun Club, of Omaha, which is a 20-target event. 
On this occasion Mr. Curtice broke 19 out of 20 in a high wind. 
There is considerable talk among the St. Louis and Kansas City 
shooters of establishing a challenge trophy for Missouri shooters. 
Mr. Chris. S. Gottlieb, of Kansas City, and Mr. Chas. McL. Clark 
(Chase), of St. Louis, are the chief advocates. of this project, and 
any one interested should communicate with either of them. Such 
a trophy would materially increase the interest in live-bird shooting 
in the State of Missouri.

Hackensack River Gun Club. 
HoBOKEN, N. J. Sept. 16.— The Hackensack River Gun Club 
held the third of a' series of six live-bird shoots yesterday. A fine 
lot of birds were on hand. ... 
We were favored with the presence of Capt. Money and his 
son, Harold Money. 
No straight scores were made. Four tied with 9 for first rnoney. 
The return match between Wm. Hexamer and H. M. Heflich, at 
50 targets, was postponed till our next club shoot, Friday, Oct. 20, 
business preventing hexamer from being present. 
A .supper will be furnished by Mine Host Heflich after this 
shoot at the club's expense. All are welcome.

South Amboy, N. J. Sept. 16.— Five teams competed. The two 
New Brunswick clubs tied on 69. The shooting was extremely 
difficult, which accounts for the low scores. Each man shot at 25 
targets, 125 targets to a team. There was a high inblowing wind 
and the targets were thrown far out. The two New Brunswick 
clubs will engage in a team contest with the Climax Gun Club 
and the Dunellen Gun Club Sept. 30 on the grounds of the New 
Brunswick Gun Club. There will be ten men on a side and each 
man will shoot at 25 targets, making a total of 250 targets for each 
team. This should be a very interesting contest. The scores:

Morfcy Against HcHich, 
Lyndhurst, N. J., Sept. 14.— The somewhat novel match between 
Messrs. Heflich and Morfey was shot to-day, the latter killing his 
25 birds straight to 20 for Heflich. Morfey shot a Winchester, 
Heflich a Burgess. The conditions were 30yds. and pump gun.s 
were allowed as many shots as they could use.. The day was one 
of September's best — clear, cool and pleasant, with hardly any 
wind blowing. - As is usual at Morfey's grounds, the birds were 
good. Heflich's gun did not work well at times, which hampered 
him accordingly, and cut down his score appreciably in conse- 
quence. More than two shots in a narrow boundary is nor such a 
_ stinct advantage as it would seem to be, for out of the 50 birds 
only 3 were killed with the third shot, and some were lost which 
had been shot at three times. This is the first of the two matches 
arranged between these two shooters. The second is fixed to take 
place on Wednesday of this week. The scores:
