Haverhill Gun Club. 
Haverhill, Mass., Nov. .30.— The Haverhill Gua Club held 
their regular holiday shoot to-day, and while many of our own 
members were gunning in the woods we were not forgotten by 
our friends from out of town, Amesburg being represented by 
Messrs. Spolford, Lockwood, Lovering and FoUansbee; Newport 
by Mr. Weston; Dedham by Mr. Cole; Brockton by Secretary 
Barrett, and the Boston Gun Club by Miss Margaret Kirkwood, 
her brothers William and Horace, and Sister Jennie, who claimed 
that the family must aif ord at least one spectator. Miskay was 
in just the rigiit humor for smashing things, and did it with a 
vengeance, her shooting being simply phenomenal, scoring 130 
breaks out of 140 shot at, or .92JS per cent. The day was very 
dark, and the light poor, which in addition to the hard back- 
f round makes her score all the more remarkable. Our old standby, 
^ambert, who recently went broke at a live-bird shoot in St. 
Louis, and was obliged to ieavc his gun with his "uncle" or 
count the ties home, not to be outdone by Miskay, broke 95 out 
of 100, using six different guns to do the trick.

Thaaksgiving at Watson's. 
Chicago, HI., Dec. 2.— A few of the faithful gathered at Watson's 
Park on Thanksgiving Day and indulged in what is the nearest 
approach in the city to a turkey shoot, namely, a shoot at live 
pigeons. The birds were strong and prompt and the conditions 
good. No regular club shoot was on, and no match of interest, the 
sport being in practice, of which the scores follow:

Chicago Sportsmen's Trophy. 
Only eleven men came s^esterday to lake part in the sixth regu- 
lar contest for the Chicago sportsmen's trophy. The weather was 
line, with a brisk wind blowing to the left quarter from the score, 
and the birds were very good indeed, for that the moulting season 
is now past and the .strong-flying times at hand. No one was able 
to land straight without his allowance, and White's run of 12 gave 
him high average. Clempson, winner of the last shoot, fell into the 
13 hole to-day. The badge was won by Eaton, White taking the 
second prize, for high average. Barto won the tie on 14, killing 
3 straight, Odell missing his last tie bird. Clempson took the 13 
tie and Lefiingwell won m the 12s. Following the main event a 
little miss-and-out sweep was shot, and won by Barto, who killed 
9, White missing his 9th. Following are the scores:

Eureka Live-Bird Shoot. 
Eureka Gun Club opened its live-bird season at Watson's tcf-day 
and made a very strong showing with sixteen members at the 
score. This augurs well for the interest in these events during the 
winter^ months, and it is to be hoped that the numbers will hold 
up. The day was a very satisfactory one in all Avays — pleasantly 
warm, though overcast, with a right-quartering wind— and birds 
were far above merely good ones. The flying season is in evi- 
dence, and the sport this afternoon was real pigeon shooting. 
With the short race of 10 birds — and a handicap at that — no one 
ran straight, and the 9s had to shoot to decide a first, Parker 
finally winning in the tie with 9 straight kills. Ties on S divided, 
as also with 7s. Mr. Adams, the club president, and Dr. Carson, 
the secretary, were tied on high run, and shot to settle it. Dr. 
Carson winning and taking place for highest number of con- 
secutive kills. The Eureka season prizes, for first and second 
places, are now on exhibition at Von Lengerke & Antoine's store. 
They consist of a very elegant display of cut-glass, two handsome 
decanters and two sets of cut-glass goblets, as good as could be 
purchased in the market, and they certainly are very tempting and 
we shall watch the club scores this ivijiter with interest. Follow- 
ing is the record of to-day:

the boys, and asks them all to be on hand. The tovirnament

be one of the first-rankers. 
Elgin National. 
Elgin 'National Gun Club, of Elgin, 111., has a nice little live- 
bird shoot on for to-day, which ought to be a very pleasant thing 
to take in, as the birds, the grounds and the company are sure 
to be good. 
Elgin National Club holds a target and live-bird shoot on Dec. 
31 and Jan. 1. and this is an event which the travelers ought to

Garfield Gun Club. 
Chicago. Dec. 1. — The following scores were made on the 
arrounds of the Garfield Gun Club yesterday (Thanksgiving). 
The birds were in the main a fast lot, although a nasty north wind 
blowing across the traps .seemed to chill both shooters and birds, 
making the birds a little slow about taking wing, but screamers 
when once started. The retrieving was done by Mr. Kuss' dogs in 
their usual dashing style. Several visitors attended the shoot, and 
all seemed to enjoy themselves:

Duster. 
Minneapolis Gun Club. 
Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 30.— Thirty shooters attended the 
Thanksgiving Day shoot of the Minneapolis Gun Club, and. all 
things considered, some good sport was had, though the day was dark 
and gloomy and most of the time a drizzling rain was falling. The 
wind blew across the traps Just strong enough to make the birds, 
which as a whole were a good lot, strong flyers. All .shooters 
stood at 28yds., and some excellent scores were made. G. Noren- 
berg scored 10 straight, killing all his birds with the first barrel. 
Several other straight scores were made in the ' different events. 
Mrs. Johnston, the only lady who shot, scored 17 and 2 dead out 
of bounds in a possible 20, which is a good score, considering 
that she shot 3%drs. of powder in a 6^1b. gun, which handicaps 
her very much in the use of the second barrel, as the load is a 
little strong for that weight of gun. Four new members were 
elected. The grounds will be open on Thursday afternoons at 1 
o'clock until further notice, weather permitting. Arrangements 
are bein.g made for an all-day sweep shoot on Christmas Day, I 
notice of which will be published later. The following are the 
scores in the different events:
