Garfield Gan Club. 
Chicago, 111., Aug. 3. — ^The appended scores were made on our 
grounds to-day on the occasion of the seventh and last shoot of the 
second series of the trophy season. 
The day was a perfect one for shooting, being-^ delightfully cool 
and no wind. 
A. Hellman won medal in Class A on a score of 24. A. D. 
Dorman made a similar score and won Class B medal. E. W. 
Eaton won Class C medal on 18. 
The shooters will all be reclassified before next shoot. Not 
having had time as yet to figure up the scores for this series, I 
am unable to report the winners in the various classes, but will 
do so next week. 
Twenty-two shooters took part in the trophy event to-day, and 
several others came too late to enter that event:

Mississippi Valley Notes. 
The Piasa Gun Club, of Alton, 111., has decided to change the 
dates for its annual shoot to Sept. 19 and 20. There will be 175 
, programme each dav, in 15 and 20 bird events; $5 
added lor each race. In addition there will be ?50 average money 
for four high guns for the tournev. The shoot will be wide open 
to all comers, but experts will be charged 25 cents extra in each 
event, the amount thus accruing to go equally to amateurs shooting 
the programme. Sergeant system and class shooting will prevail, 
monej's being divided on the ratio of 30, 30, 20, 20. Alton is 
splendidly situated for an event of this kind, and a large attendance 
IS anticipated. 
The Indian Anniversary. 
The Indians, after their successful work abroad and their royal 
welcome home, have now gotten down again to the routine of work 
m their own hunting grounds. Chief Tom A. Marshall, acting by 
authority of the Council of Chiefs, announces that the annual con- 
clave and tournament of this world-famous tribe will be held this 
year, as last, on the beautiful shores of Lake Okoboji, la. The 
Indian shoot will follow immediately upon the Iowa amateur 
tourney of Messrs. Budd and Whitney, at the same place, be- 
ginning on Sept. 2 and continuing four days, to the 5th. The 
programme will be practically the same as in 1900, but more 
money will be added and better inducements offered to shooters all 
over the world. Wives and pappooses will there, and the brave 
who appears on the rendezvous alone will have to give a very 
satisfactory explanation, or pay the customary fine, $50. The 
recent victories abroad will give this gathering a national sisjnifi- 
cance, and it is needless to say that every member of the "tribe 
will be on hand to answer "Here!" at roll call. The programme 
is now in the hands of the printer, and will be a handsome 
souvenir, keyed to the legendary theme, which made the pro- 
gramme last year so popular. 
This is a "shooting week" in the middle West, there being 
tourneys slated as follows: A«g. 8, at Harrisburg, 111., annual 
meeting of the Saline County Gun Club; Aug. 8, Beardstown, sec- 
ond midsummer shoot of Brennan and Elliott; Aug. 8-9, annual 
midsummer shoot of Springfield, Mo., Gun Club; Aug. 8-9, annual 
meet of Lafayette, Ind., Gun Club. 
Dove shooting season began in Illinois on Aug. 1. The birds 
are very plentiful this season, and afford excellent sport to those 
who have the hardihood to shoulder a gun in the prevailing hot 
weather. 
We note Mr. Paul North's suggestion in Forest and Stream 
of Aug. 3, that there are shooting experts in America who would 
like to try conclusions with the individual members of the re- 
cently returned American team, who so nobly represented this 
country abroad. While the writer has no special authority to 
speak for the Indians, he will say as Grand Scribe of the tribe that 
they will welcome, collectively and individually, any fair proposi- 
tion that will tend honestly to promulgate interest and for the 
general advancement of the sport of trapshooting in the United 
States. Mr. North was largely instrumental in bringing about 
the matches abroad, now so gloriously terminated in our favor, 
and evidently he is not weary of the good work. 
The a/ticle "Broken and Dusted Targets," in the Aug. 3 
Forest and Stream, will meet with the hearty and unqualified 
indorsement of a large majority of trap shots. Certainly one of 
the things that this sport most needs is a common-sense and 
comprehensive revision of the rules now in common use. Some 
one in authority ought to take this matter promptly in hand, and 
it behooves those interested to designate such authority and 
demand that it be done. F. C. Riehl.

"Wapello G«n Club. 
Knoxville, 111., July 29. — Herewith are the scores of the 
Wapello, la., shoot. The club should have had forty shooters at 
least, as their programme was a good one. It was very hot the 
first day, and kept some from shooting in all the events. 
W. Weetleaf, of Nicols, la., won first average, $10, and Guy 
Burnside, of Knoxville, 111., second, $7, and Fred EUett (Reuben), 
of Keithsburg, III., third, $5. 
On the second day a little cyclone came up and blew the 
spectators' tent over, and the center pole fell and struck one of 
the party in the back of the head; but, as luck would have it, no 
serious damage was done, but it surely did make the targets jump 
around some while No. 1 squad was at the score. 
Mr. Hawkins thought the extremely hot weather kept a great 
many away, as last year they had upward of thirty-five entries all 
the way through.

Ossinlng Gaa Club. 
OssiNiNG, N. Y., Aug. 3.— Herewith please find scores of the 
Ossining Gun Club, made at the regular weekly shoot, Saturday, 
.-^ug. 3. Messrs. Burns and Case, of Mamaroneck, were with us 
to-day. Mr. Case, an expert rifle shot, made his initial attempt 
at breaking clay birds, and with very good success. It is the ej'e 
after all, with plenty of practice to develop speed, that counts.

Trenton Shooting Association. 
Trenton, N. J., July 27.— A little family party attended the 
matinee to-day. The weather was cool and pleasant, and some 
good scores resulted. Thomas made the high average for the 
day, with Vanarsdale and Comp following, in the order named. 
In the first 50, Thomas broke 46, Vanarsdale 45 and Comp 43. 
The Aug. 14 programme will bring out a crowd, and also it is 
hoped stir up shooting matters in the vicinity. Along with the 
city cup. which will be offered for the first time, the match be- 
tween Comp and Widmann for the county trophy will also be 
contested.
