Auburn Gun Club. 
Auburn, Me., July 15.— The Auburn Gun Club held its usual 
Saturday afternoon shoot with about the usual attendance and 
that same cool breeze we always have. It is quite a nice little 
afternoon shoot when we throw between eight and nine hundred 
targets. Yesterday there was some little fun over the badge. By 
one of those accidents which will happen to the poorest shot the 
badge was held the two previous weeks by the same shooter and 
lie fell over himself again to-day so far as to get in the tie for 
the badge. Then the boys called him hog and such pet name* 
but after the u.^ua! good natured jokes allowed him to keep it for 
another week, with no other regret than fear that it might make 
him walk one-sided or have to buy a larger hat. C E C

Myerstown, Pa., July 14.— With a strong wind the following

Staunton Gun Club. 
Staunton, Va., July 13.— Herewith find scores made at the regu- 
lar shoots of the Staunton Gun Club this week. The feature of 
lo-day's shoot was the fine shooting of Mr, Sillings, who, after 
inissmg his first bird, ran 49 straight. It was a very tine per- 
formance, m view of the fact that the wind was blowing almost a 
gale across the traps, which made it very difficult to connect with 
the targets. In sending in my report of last week's shoot I made 
a mistake m footing up the totals of Mr. Bruffey's scores. They 
should have been 133 out of 165 shot at with an average of .806, 
instead of 116 with an average of .703, as reported.
