Shooting' at St. Joseph. 
The Metropolitan Gun Club, of St. Joseph, Mo., gave a delight- 
ful day's sport on Feb. 22 to a big crowd of shooters on its 
fine grounds on Lake Contrary. The boys are warming up ear; 
nestlv to the work of practicing for the forthcoming Missouri 
State' meet, l3ut the principal interest in this day's work was a 
series of individual matches for State championship honors. 
J. W. Bramhall, for some time had defeated all comers for the 
tive-bird championship of the State, had received four challenges 
IVom his Kansas City colleagues, and it was agreed to go to 
.St. Joe and shoot four individual matches in one day, each at 25 
birds per man. the challengers taking the winner in turn. Capt. 
Cunningham had provided a new set of underground traps for the 
occasion, and the birds were a good lot — so good that no high 
scores were nttade. 
Bramhall was not in his usual good form, and lost the first 
watch to Billy Clayton. The latter successfully defended his 
honors against Paul Franke and Alex. Holmes, but lost in the 
final race to Harry Tipton. 
Then followed a live-bird sweep at 10 birds. In this, Riehl, 
Elliott, Franke and Holmes killed straight. 
Iw the afternoon Fred Arnhold, of St. Joe, defeated F. E. 
Itogers. challenger, in a match at 50 targets for the Lake trophy. 
An ail-day target programme of 150 birds was also shot. In this 
Arnholdt won first and Riehl second place, with one bird be- 
tween them. Scores:

Ossining Gtin Qub, 
OssiNiNG, N. Y.— The Washington Birthday shoot of the 
Ossining Gun Club was well attended— 31 shooters faced the 
traps. Had it not been for the sad loss of the Poughkeepsle 
Gun Club— the death of their captain, Max Condit— which kept 
them from participating, the attendance would have been a record 
breaker for this club. We will appoint a special day for the inter- 
county shoot, probably some Saturday afternoon in the near 
future. We had with us to-day some of our old friends and sortie 
new ones, which were alike welcomed. Sitn Glover, E. EiChoffj 
J. Hoffman, Al Smith, E. Le Boutellien A. Adams atid C. C. 
Gerow came up from New York City atld vicinity; P. Smithy F. 
Buckley and H. Marshall^ of Poughkfeepsie, and our old frierid 
Bob Quimbyj from Arnlottk, with a jolly bUtich of nort-shootets. 
The main event was a distance handicap, 14-18 yards, for a fine 
set of mourited aiitlefs, presented by Mr. H. W. Bissing, and a 
sweepstake oh the side, 25 birds. I. T. Washburn and W. H. 
Coleman shot way up in this event, each scoring 23 from 16- 
yard line. In the shoot off Washburn won with a score of 21 to 
Coleman's 17. M. H. Dyckman got first money with 21. High 
percentage was made by Glover, 86 per cent.; Blandford second, 
with 83 per cent. The targets were thrown full 50 yards, and 
were made deceptive in their flight by wind and glare of the 
snow. Mr. E. F. Ball has been chosen as delegate for this club 
to the meeting of the N. Y. A. P. G. and F. at Rochester, to 
be held March 7. 
The yard handicaps apply in event 5 only.

The inclosed scores of the Ossining Gun Club were made at 
the regular Saturday shoot, Feb. 28. The first three events were 
shot from 16yds., when the rain started to pour down in torrents 
and the shooters were forced back to the 22yd. line under the 
porch roof. Between the rain, fog and wind there wasn't much 
done in the way of good scores. Events 7, 8, and 9 were shot 
from 16yds. Event 3 was for the handicap cup. There were only 
four entries, in which G. B. Hubbell came out alone with a clean 
'score, including his handicap of misses as breaks.

TwENTY-TWO shooters faced the traps at Lynnhurst, Feb. 23, in 
a gale of wind, and anyone who has tried smashing targets under 
such conditions can make allowance for the apparently poor 
shooting. Among the visiting shooters were Ingalls, Bell and 
du Pont, of the Harvard Gun Club; Miller and Lozier, of the 
Haverhill Gun Club; Leroy; Baker of the Brockton Gun Club; 
Kirkwood and Williams of the Boston Gun Club, and Keller, 
son of T. H. Keller. 
Events 5, 6, 7 and 8 constituted the prize event, prizes, $5, 
$2.50 and $1, in gold. Leroy captured first with 38 out of a 
possible 50; Lozier 2d, with 37, and Lovering 3d, with 36. 
Three hundred and fifty-five targets were thrown. Events 1, 5, 
and 9 were thrown from Expert traps, regular angles; events 2, 
6 and 10 Expert traps, reverse angles; all the rest unknown angles 
from the magautrap. The scores: "

Plover, Iowa, Feb. 18. — Yesterday morning with the ther- 
mometer registering 16 below zero, 11 shooters went to the Plover 
Gun Club grounds to take part in the first day's programme. 
After shooting six events, it was decided to postpone the tourna- 
ment until to-day, get an early start and finish programme, as 
indications were for warmer weather. This morning the ther- 
mometer showed 21 below, and the club decided to postpone the 
tournament until they would be assured of pleasant weather.

Wingohocfcing Gon Club. 
Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 25.— Appended are the scores of the 
monthly shoot of the Wingohocking Gun Club, made on the 
club grounds to-day. There were twelve contestants. The birds 
were an unusually strong lot, and those who particularly drew 
screamers made some sensational kills. Messrs. Steese and 
Kister killed straight, shooting in their usual good form. Shilling 
was very much in hard luck, each of his lost birds being dead 
out of bounds. Brewer Fritsch was somewhat more fortunate, 
and quite surprised at himself, the major part of his kills ap- 
pearing as though out of bounds from stage fright, returning into 
bounds to be scored as kills. The scores:

board Air Line Railway, and has induced many people from the 
Ncrtli to locate on that line of road. Mr. Patrick has many 
friends North who are always glad to see him, but sometimes get 
confused as well as interested at his expressions and pronuncia- 
tion. If he wants you to meet him at his hotel and take lunch 
he will say "Come around to the Parker House this evening.;' 
Evening v ith him and all Southerners is between twelve o'clock 
and sun down. In pronouncing Concord, N. H., it takes him 
three times as long as it does a New Englander. He says Con- 
c-o-r-d with a musical ring to the cord, and the same in pro- 
nouncing such words as length, strength and woman. He can- 
not get our Northern quick, short pronunciation, and we do 
not care if he can't, for his Southern way of talking has a 
catchy pleasantness about it that is interesting to his friends 
in this section. — Adv.

Trap at Omaha. 
There was a marked revival of interest in trapshooting at Oma- 
ha For a good portion of the past year there was not much 
work done at the traps in this city, but the boys are now mak- 
ing up for lost time. Nearly every day in the week there is 
some sort of a programme, and Manager McDonald says he ex- 
pects a record season. -r. 
An interesting event this week was a race between W. U. 
Townsend and D.' Burgess at fifty live birds, $50 per side. It 
was an intensely cold day, and the scores proved a tie on 44, 
which it was agreed to shoot out in another match at some later 
On the 21st there was a live bird match, handicapped from 28 
to 32 yards. This was won by F. C. Riehl, who killed straight 
from scratch. A target programme of 100 birds was also shot, 
in which Riehl made the creditable score of 98. , . 
Billy Townsend, who is the Nebraska oracle on trapshooting 
matters, says that there was never such a prespect for a lively 
season at the trap in that State. . 
One of the notable evidences of this tendency to the occasional 
visitor is the many new faces met with on the shooting grounds. 
Mr F S Parmelee, one of the old and best-known trap shots 
in the country, has decided, much to the regret of his friends, 
to reside in future in Texas. Although Frank has quit the 
game it will not seem well with the Ql4-tiTifl^^§ 1,ci find his genial

Parker Brothers, Meriden, Conn., have perfected and patented 
an automatic ejector that they believe will be an addition worthy 
to be attached to the "Old Reliable," thereby adding to its 
pfficiencv Thev are, we are informed, applying the automatic 
e ector to their high grade guns only, $150, $200, $.300 and $400 
catalogue price, at $25 list extra. On account of the demand for 
Parker guns without ejectors they cannot possibly furnish the 
lower grades of guns with ejectors at present.

is true or not.
