Garden City Gun Club. 
Watson's Park, Chicago, May 11.— There was a strong phalanx 
of the Garden City Gun Club to enjoy the competition of that 
club on the famous Watson Bessemer-lined birds, and there were 
some good performances, though several birds escaped un- 
pierced. The main event was at 25 live birds, handicap, for a 
silver loving cup, as follows:

Chicago. Mav 11.— The appended scores were made on our 
grounds tb-day'on the occasion of the second troplay shoot of the 
target season. 
T. S. Boa again won Class A trophy on a score of 20. Dr. 
Meek and W. A. Jones tied for B medal on 19, while P. McGowan 
won Class C on 19. 
The shooting was extremely difficult, there being a very strong 
and gusty wind from the rear, which caught the targets and either 
beat them down or caused their flight to become very erratic. 
Twsnty-three members took part in the contest, notwithstanding 
the unpleasant day -for target shooting:

Boston Gttn Qttb* 
Boston, May 8.— Though just the kind of a day all trapshooters 
should rejoice in having, just ten shooters took part in the second 
serial prize shoot of the Boston Gun Club's summer series to-day 
on their grounds at Wellington. For the first time in four moriths 
we were again favored with the presence of Mr. Poor, who is just 
regaining strength after encoxmtering a very serious accident in 
his office some time ago. Although as yet not allowed to indulge 
in it to his heart's content, the chance to try a 16-gauge with no 
recoil caused the old enthusiastic spirit to bubble out, and nothing 
would do but to have a try with that gun, which we trust did not 
bring rotind any ill effects. In tlie prize match to-day high gun 
was G. W., one of the oldest standbys of the club, having shot 
with us now off and on for about fifteen years. The old-time skill 
was again shown, as the 22 targets out of the 25 could testify 
if there had been anything left of them to do so. Next in line 
is Frank, one of the latest enthusiasts, with 20, standing at 16yds., 
and it is safe to say that if he persists in keeping up his present 
gait his 16yd. days will soon be a thing of the past. Lane was third 
with 19, at 16yds., just getting used to a newly bored gun, and 
augurs well for shoots to come. Spencer, 18yds., fourth with 17, 
which will no doubt have to give way to higher scores in the totals. 
Williams, of 10-gauge fame, fifth, at 16yds., with 15. 
Scores follow. All shooting handicap distance; all unknown

As You Look at It. 
Prom the Woodcraft Magazine for April. 
The Fox and the Cat, as they traveled one day. 
With moral discourses cut shorter the way; 
"'Tis great," says the Fox, "to make justice our guide!" 
"How god-like is mercy!" Grimalkin replied. 
While thus they proceeded, a Wolf from the wood. 
Impatient of hunger and thirsting for blood. 
Rushed forth — as he saw the dull shepherd asleep — 
And seized for his supper an innocent Sheep. 
In vain, wretched victim, for mercy you bleat; 
"When mutton's at band," says the Wolf, "I must eat." 
Grimalkin's astonished — the Fox stands aghast 
To see the fell beast at his bloody repast; 
"What a wretch!" cries the Cat; " 'tis the vilest of brutes: 
Does he feed upon flesh, when there's herbags and rotts?" 
Says the Fox, "While our oaks gives us acorns so good. 
What a tyrant is this to spill innocent blood!" 
Vy ell— onward they marched, and they moralized still. 
Till they came where some poultry picked chaff by a mill; 
Sly Reynard surveyed them with gluttonous eyes. 
And made (spite of moi-als) a pullet his prize; 
A Mouse, too, that chanced from her covert to stray, 
The greedy Grimalkin secured as her prey. 
A Spider that sat in her web on the wall 
l^erceived the poor victims, and pitied their fall; 
She cried, "Of such murders how guiltless am I!" 
And ran to regale on a new-taken fly.

perhaps in the country.

thrown from a magautrap, the birds to be thrown as follows: 
Fifteen pairs, making .30; ten threes, making .30; five fours, making 
20, and four fives, making 20; total lOO birds per man, The trap

the first bird out was a whole one, then everything' after that was to 
be accepted, and if not shot at, scored lost The scores were as 
follows :

A Good Handicap. 
Kansas City, Mo., May 11.— The following form of handicapping 
the target shooting of the United States has suggested itself to me, 
and I think it will become not only fair but very popular, as fol- 
lows: 
A handicap committee to consist of one representative from each 
of the sporting journals; they to classify the shooting into four 
classes, namely: A, B, C, and D. A, 20yds., professional class; 
B, 18yds, expert class; C, 16yds., semi-expert class; D, 14yds., 
amateur class. 
The handicapping to be revised every three months, or as often 
as the committee may see fit, and to be published in the sporting 
journals when so revised. It will only be necessary to publish 
tlie names of the A, -B, and C classes, and any shooter whose name 
does not appear .will know that he comes in the amateur closs. 
Now, any shooter in the United States going to the tournament 
given under this system of handicapping will know his mark be- 
forehand, besides relieving the tournament management of any 
criticism as to favoritism or prejudice. 
A word as to the Rose system, that 1 liave always favored: 
I attended both the Jiealrice and Lincoln, Neb., tournaments. 
Both programmes were advertised "class shooting," 40, 30, 20 and 
10; but on the second day at each place the mefhod of dividing 
moneys was changed to the Rose system. 
Chris Gottlieb. 
Winchester Gun Club. 
Detroit, Mich., May 4. — The weather man was kinder to-day 
than for several shoots past, and the membership was fairly well 
represented. Some good scores were made, but the uncertainty 
that pertains to any real sport was also evident. 
ShicU was in good form, winning in Class A, with 23, while nobody 
in Class B was able to better Warner's score of 19. Randall won 
easily in Class C. The scores:
