Hartford Building, Chicago, 111. 
Garfield Gtm Clwb. 
Chicago, Aug. 31. — The appended scores were made on our 
grounds to-day on the occasion of the fourth trophy shoot of the 
third series. Jones won Class A trophy on 21. Dr. Meek Class B 
on 19. L. Thomas was high gun, and won C trophy on 22. 
The day was only a fairly good one for target shooting. A cross 
wind blew directly over the traps, and a heavy smoke bank inter- 
fered considerably with a clear sight on the targets. Owing to the 
game-shooting season opening to-morrow, our attendance was not 
up to our average, only fifteen shooters participating in trophy 
events.

Poftsmotith Gun Gltib. 
Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 26.— On Aug. 24 the Portsmouth 
Gun Club held its annual field and ladies' day by a successful 
shoot. Nearly 4,000 blue rocks were thrown. 
President W. E. Storer was present everywhere apparently, ex- 
tending to all a cordial greeting in his characteristically hearty 
manner, and attending to the many duties of such a day. He was 
ably assisted by Secretary W. I. Philbrick, who kept track of the 
events and entries and kept things moving right along. Horace 
Kukwood, of Boston, was as usual an indefatigable helper, and 
Messrs. Drew, Merwin, Goodwin, Manson and Charlesen and 
others of the local club took hold heartily to help. 
Over one hundred enjoyed the fine dinner in the big tent, served 
by Caterer Dennett, assisted by the ladies, under the direction of 
Mrs. Charlesen. 
The magautrap worked finely; the grounds are very satisfac- 
tory, with an excellent background; the wind was decidedly 
§trong and at tji^es very erratic, somewhat affeeting the scores 
made. One of the chief events of the day was the team shoot 
at 25 birds each, which resulted as follows:

Eastman, of the local club, made a fine score of 25 straight; 15 
and 10 straight were of frequent occurence, among those who 
scored thus being Cutler, of Fitchburg; Kirkwood, of Boston; 
Martin, of Concord; Drew, of Portsmouth; N. Wentworth, of 
Dover; Frizzell, of Portsmouth; Morton, of Dover, and others. 
Cutler, of the Fitchburg Gun Club, was high man for the day; 
v/ith a score of 136 out of 150. Kirkwood followed with 129, and 
Eastman 128. An exhibition of fine fancy shooting with a pump 
gun was given by Eastman, when in less than a half minute he 
shot five out of six targets, thrown as rapidly as the magautrap 
could be worked, and all being in the air at the same time. Later 
the same feat was attempted by Messrs, Cutler, Morton, Kirk- 
wood, Drew and Manson; the targets were not thrown quite as 
rapidly, and several scored four out of the six. 
Another bit of fancy shooting was when a squad shot from in 
front of the magautrap, the blue rocks being thrown in every 
direction over their heads, but even then the targets could not 
escape the quick eye and unerring aim of the sportsmen, and few 
but what were reduced to fragments. W. I. Philbrick, using a 
pump gun for the first time, scored 18 out of 25, in jDractice. 
Dr. Daniel Garsener, of Philadelphia, an enthusiastic sports- 
man, was among the most interested shooters present, and, al- 
though a novice at blue rocks, made some excellent scores and 
added greatly to the pleasure of the occasion by his presence. 
Ex-Mayor Martin, of Concord, was also a very welcome guest. 
The ladies took a great interest in the events, and heartily ap- 
plauded the good scores made. 
It was a great day for the club, and they should be congratulated 
on the success which attended so fully all their efforts. The out- 
of-town sportsmen were very enthusiastic over the way in 
which everything was conducted, and the cordial treatment re- 
ceived, and it was late in the afternoon before the last events 
were shot off, a number of extras filling the regular programme.

Pleasant Hill Gun Cltib, 
Pleasant Hill, Mo., Aug. 28.— I herewith enclose you the 
scores of the fifth annual merchandise and sweepstake shoot of 
colored shooters. I also send you under separate cover a picture 
of the group of spectators and participants taken during the Nuttall 
vs. Cohron match. 
The fifth annual merchandise and sweepstake shoot of the 
Pleasant Hill Colored Gun Club took place on Aug. 23. 
It was the most successful shoot in the history of the club, and 
drew together the largest crowd of spectators, as well as partici- 
pators ever known in Pleasant Hill. 
Among those from afar was, first of all, E. R. Nuttall, of Ohiowa, 
Neb., who is now the champion wingshot of color, defeating T. H. 
Cohron, of this place, in the inaugural match for the live-bird 
challenge trophy, emblematic of the colored wing shot champion- 
ship. 
Lem Clay, Frankfort, Kan.; E. F. Sneed, Kansas City, Mo.; 
A. Gudgell, Chillicothe, Mo.; L. Clark, Independence, Mo., were 
present, and noticable among our white shooting friends from afar 
were W. A. Smith, Greenwood, Mo.; H. McFerrin, Wm. Nixon, 
Chas. Berkstresser and J. Zeigler, of Ore, Ma, and others, who 
indulged in the open-to-all sweepstake events, which herewith

The merchandise events, seven in number, open only to colored 
shooters, were where most of the colored shooters could be found 
pounding away at a No. 2 set of traps. Nuttall was high gun for 
the entire programme, and won the beautiful silver lined and 
trimmed cigar moistener given for best average. The scores of the 
merchandise event follow:

At 2.30 the inaugural shoot for the live-bird challenge cup began, 
there being only two who dared to try conclusions for said honor 
and the Parker hammerless gun. The match was between E. R.. 
Nuttall and T. H. Cohron, 25 birds, .30yds. rise, entrance $5, losing 
man to pay for birds. ' Nuttall won the toss and sent Cohron to 
the score, who grassed his first bird with the first barrel in grand 
style and started out the favorite and kept up the- stroke until the 
thirteenth round, when his thirteenth fell dead out of bounds.' 
His fourteenth escaped the aim of both barrels, and his nineteenth 
fell dead out of bounds. Nuttall also grassed his first bird with, 
the first barrel, but failed to stop his second bird; but this did' 
not upset his nerves, for he then went to work and killed all 
the remainder of his birds, though his twenty-fifth fell dead out of 
bounds. 
Both men used L. C. Smith guns and Winchester factory, 
loaded leader shells, Du Pont powder. The birds were an excep- 
tionally good lot. The scores follow:

IN NEW JERSEY- 
Trenton Shooting Association. 
Trenton, N. J., Aug. 31.— To-day was the date for the City Cup 
championship. The morning broke bright and clear, and remained- 
30 until noon, when it clouded up, and soon began to pour all 
kinds of rain. 
Fifteen guns turned up and shot a programme of eleven events, 
despite the rank hand out of J. Pluvius_ The secretary intends to 
advertise for a hoodoo charm and hang it on the flag pole of the 
club house to break the wet "spell" that has been pursuing us all 
summer. 
Events 1 to 6 were optional sweeps. Event No. 7 brought Van- 
arsdon and Wilkes together in a 25-bird race for a purse. Con- 
siderable interest was shown by the spectators, as Wilkes had de- 
feated Farlee last week, and Van was shooting in splendid shape. 
Up to the twenty-first bird the men were even, with three misses 
each, when Van broke straight out, winning with 22 to 20 for 
Wilkes. Event No. 9 had fifteen entries for the City Champion- 
ship Cup, Vanarsdon running away from the bunch with 24 
breaks, which won. Three straight wins give final possession, 
and he will go up against a full muster when it comes up on 
Sept. 28. 
Sept. 11 has been selected for Comp, the present holder of the 
County Championship Cup, to meet Farlee, who challenged for 
same. If Comp wins this time the club will iiave to purchase an 
other cup to take its place.

TiTusviLLE, Pa., Aug. 23.— Bad weather did not prevent a goodly 
crowd of shooters and spectators from attending the regular 
weekly shoot of the Titusville Gun Club on Friday afternoon, 
Aug. 23, and, as the following scores will show, some good shoot- 
ing was done. 
W. E. Fertig won the club medal for the week, breaking 21 out 
of 25 from 14yds., and the three-man team shoot, with Jordan, 
Schwartz and A. Bue on one side and Kellogg, Andrews and 
Meyer on the other, was a very interesting contest. Each man 
shot at 30 birds, and the latter team came off a winner, breaking 
77 out of the 90 shot at.
