Intercity Shooting Patk. 
Minneapolis, Minn.— The shooting on these grounds during 
the past week was all that could be desired. Not only is this true 
as far as the shooters are concerned, but the management as well. 
I find it almost impossible to give to you at present the scores ot 
each weekly shoot. This is due to the fact that this is my hrst 
year and there is so much that must be done to place the grounds 
in fair shape, and again my string of dogs require a large part 
of each day, and they cannot and must not be overlooked. 
I leave here for the chicken fields on Aug. W, and I trust and 
fully believe you may hear of two or three of the dogs before fhe 
fall trials are over. I inclose you scores made during the past 
week: , .,, ^ ,. 
Tuesday. Julv 24.— The day proved too warm and still for live 
birds. Notwithsanding, they gave the shooters a lace for their 
money. In the live-bird event the shooters stooa at yOyds. :

National Gun Clob. 
Milwaukee, July 31. — Inclosed find the scores of the National 
Gun Club prize" shoot, held at National Park, Milwaukee, on Fri- 
day, the 27th inst., there being four events of 10 live birds each. 
They were a lively lot of birds for this season of the year, and 
kept the shooters guessing as to what- was coming next. 
The first event was for the regular monthly prize shoot, and the 
three following were sweeps. 
Dr. Williamson, one of our best _ shots, was shooting a pump 
gun, but did not do as well as he might, owing to the fact that he 
was trying to see how quick he could shoot the second barrel. 
He made some very pretty shots, however, and did excellent work 
with the second barrel.

Freehold Gun Club. 
Freehold, N. J., Aug. 3.— The most interesting thing that took 
place after the regular event was the brush that occurred be-

who were present as visitors. Widman challenged Thomas to a 
race at 10 birds, loser to pay for supper and other refreshments. 
The scores below show what took place:

Chicago, Aug. 4. — The appended scores were made on our 
grounds to-day on the occasion of the fourteenth trophy shoot of 
the. season. C. P. Richards carried oft" the honors of the day by 
breaking 25 straight in the trophy event, winning at the same 
time Class A medal. B medal was tied for by A. Hell man and 
T. Eaton on 22, while J. D. Pollard took C on 21. 
The day was an unpleasant one for trapshooting, being very 
hot, and enough humidity in the atmosphere to make it very de- 
pressing. The attendance was good for a hot midsummer day.

Fred Schiess won the Piasa Gun Club trophy at Alton in the 
open shoot Aug. 3, against a good field. Fred shot an excellent 
race and deserved his victory. ' ' " ' 
The Piasa Club will probably be in line With a target and live- 
bird shoot some time in the fall. 
An all-day shoot was given at Dupont Park, St. Louis, July 29. 
A number of the boys, viz., Mr. Burnett, Blake Collins, Ed Pren- 
dergast and Chas. Clark, had gone to the Dardienne Flats "to sink 
a few frogs," and the attendance was therefore not as large as 
expected, but those present not only shot through the pro- 
gramme, but took in a few extras and finished with a little practice 
at Dave Elliott's famous live birds. And they were not all re- 
trieved within bounds, either. The scores:

ON LONG ISLAND. 
Long Island Championship. 
Tnti;rstate \'\-rk, L. I., .Vug. 2.— There was quite an active after- 
noon at Interstate Park, Queens, L. I., to-day. The main event 
was the contest for the championship of Long Island. It was 
such a foregone conclusion that Morfey v/ould win it that interest 
in the competition ceased after the second contest. In the three 
contests he scored 24 out of 25 each time. Morfey, Kemble and 
Webber were the only ones eligible of those who shot in the last 
contest. Each 5 were made a special =weepstakes, so that there 
W'ere five sweepstakes in the scores in the cup event. This will 
explain the withdrawals, etc. Morfey, since he has put his new 
Francotte gun in commission, which fits him perfectly, has been 
shooting up to the highest standards and could hold his own with 
the very best professional or amateur shots of the countrv. His 
time is quick and his shooting w'ith both barrels is admirably accu- 
rate. He is quite 3yd=. better than the best shooters who ordina- 
- rily are at the grounds. 
The birds were quite a good lot, but there was no wind and 
therefore the conditions were quite favorable for the shooters.

Robin Hood Gun Club. 
Swanton, July ;H0.— Interesting trapshooting contests arc 
now almost daily occurrences -at the shooting grounds of th<- 
Robin Hood Powder Co., Swantcn, Vt. Among those who took 
part in the events there Saturda\- evening, the 28th inst., wa.s 
one of our most celebrated surgeons and Maj. Cathy, a former 
aid of Gen. Joe Wheeler. The Doctor believes that the 14-gauge is 
t)ie best all-round shot gun; the 12-gauge is too much of a cannon, 
while the 16-gauge is too small for an all-round gun. The Doctor 
claims to be good authority on this subject, as -he begins on 
chickens and ducks early in the' fall in the West and shoots 
through the South during the winter and earlv spring. Though 
a persistent follower of feathered game, he is no "game hog," as 
he is content with a small bag, and never exceeds a certain li'mil 
The Major, who is quite lame from a severe wound received in 
Cuba, manages to keep his scores well up toward the front wht-ri 
facing the traps:
