Dr. D. A. Allen, of Toledo, O., writes us as follows: "In read- 
ing your report of first' day at Parker's shoot, I notice your re- 
porter made a mistake when he stated, 'as he (Dr. Allen) made 
but one straight,' etc. Now, by referring to the scores you will 
.sec that I made two straight scores in succession, Blake and my- 
self being the only ones to make two straights in succession dur- 
ing the day; and next to Blake I made the longest run of the day. 
I don't know how many on last end of one score before the 
straights and first of the other after straights I broke, but should 
say that the run was over 40. The last race was shot after it was 
too dark to see the targets well. I also made two straight scores 
the following day. I did not shoot through the programme, as I 
was not able, having been out of health tor two months and suf- 
fering at the time from ague, the weather being particularly un- 
favorable to this malady, and consequently was badly out of form."

after a shoot-off with Mrs. Dr. Shaw and A. Hellman. Class C

Dupont Gun Club. 
Omaka, Neb., Sept. ^d.—Editor Forest and Stream; Inclosed please 
find club scores of Dupont Gun Club in their weekly shoot, Sept. 
23. Mr. Chas. Curtis' work deserves special mention, as when he 
shot his club score the wind was blowing a perfect gale— you could 
liardly stand up against it, and the sand came down the Missouri 
River in clouds. He would call "Pull" and a puff of smoke would 
tell where the target was when the shot struck it. All this would 
happen before a bystander could tell which direction the target 
had taken. He seemed to have a wire attached to them, and all 
he had to do was to press the button and the thing was done. 
Mr. J. P. Sneeod Scored 14 out of 15, missing only his first bird.

Brooklyn Gun Club. 
.Sept. 30. — Owing to the Dewey celebration, it was a compara- 
tively light day on the grounds of the Brooklj-n Gun Club. There

St. Louis Doings. 
Sr. Louis, Mo., Sept. 23.— H. C. Griesedick and Juo. J. Sump- 
ter shot a 25-bird race at Dupont Park to-day to settle the pos- 
session of the Busch medal, for it will be remembered that thest- 
same two principals met two weeks ago for the same purpose, but 
on that oGcasion the race resulted in a tie after each had sljot at 
50 birds. , . , , ^ , 
The race to-day was again characterized by some very fine shoot- 
ing and was ultimately won by Sumpter by the close score of 25 
to 'i4, Griesedick losing his very first bird and thereby the match. 
This bird was not a fast one, and it is possible that the shooter 
was a trifle too cautious. However, from this on he shot in his 
usual steady clip and really did much the cleaner work of the two. 
For once Sumpter had his luck with him and actually gathered 
2 birds that looked irretrievably lost. <l)n« of these, which ap- 
peared to have escaped his aim, flew almost to the boundary and 
then suddenly pitched to the ground dead. Agani, one which was 
only slightly 'hit and was making frantic eflrorls to get beyond the 
wire, succeeded in breaking its own wing, which had doubtlessly 
been fractured by a shot. ..... 
A win for Griesedick meant much to him, as it earned with it 
the absolute possession of the trophy. He had already won it five 
times, and this was his first defeat of the season in an individual 
contest. , , . , 
Mr. Griesedick at once challenged for the trophy, but in this he 
was a trifle too late, as Mr. W. S. Thompson had likewise done 
so, and this challenge reached the trustees first, so that he will be 
given the first opportunity. Mr. Sumpter is now in Hot Springs 
and will not be back for several weeks, so that it will probably 
be three weeks before the next contest takes place. 
The weather was bright and clear, though a trifle warm, and with 
very little wind. The birds were a very good lot of summer birds.
