Mr. S. M. Van Allen," an expert, is reported by the Brooklyn 
Eagle to have done some remarkable shooting on Tuesday of last 
week: "Stephen M. Van Allen broke the world's record at 1,000 
clay pigeons, consecutive shooting, by breaking 995 out of a possi- 
ble 1,000, at Jamaica. The event took place at his cottage, at the 
Three Mile Mill, in the presence of a number of invited guests. 
George Morris acted as referee, and William Seeley as scorer. 
One hour and thirty minutes were taken from the time that the 
first shot was fired to the close of the shoot. The shooting was 
done in stands of 100 pigeons, at a 30-foot raise. The birds 
were thrown by hand. Van Allen scored his first miss at his 
fifty first bird. His longest run without a miss was 372, and he 
broke 765 wilh but four misses. Van Allen is manager of the 
Mansion House at Jamaica, and is quite a trick shooter."

Louis T. Muench, Dr. Hudson and Emil Steffens were the three 
high guns on Wednesday of last week at Outwater's grounds, at 
Carlstadt, N. J. The event was the regular monthly contest of 
the New York Germant Gun Club, at which eighteen lovers of 
trapshooting faced the score. Baudendistel, one of the coming 
stars of the club, had the misfortune of losing his second bird, 
that was hard hit, and finished his score with a total of 9. 
Block, Von Kattengill, Schlicht and big Pete Albert tied for 
third place with 8 kills each. Little Charlie Brown, a son of one 
of the old-timers, made his first killing on that day with a score 
of 5 out" of 10. Following the club event, the balance of the 
April scores, on account of the scarcity of birds, was postponed 
until the May shoot. Garms, Muench and Steffens were the only 
ones to score 5 each. The birds were a good lot of flyers.

Indianapolis Gun Club. 
Indianapolis, May 18. — We have organized in this city a new 
gun club, called the Indianapolis Gun Club. It is incorporated 
under . the laws of this State, with a capital stock of $5,000, di- 
vided into 1,000 shares of $5 each. We have secured by purchase 
16 acres of land, which, for natural advantages, cannot be sur- 
passed anywhere in the country. It is, in dimensions, about 
825 by 900 feet, and is located on one of our trolley lines, within 15 
•minutes' ride from the business center of the city. The land 
was purchased at $100 per acre, and before the title had passed 
we were offered $150 per acre cash, or about $800 profit on our 
investment,-. It is the intention of the promoters of this club 
to make it more of a. State shooting park than a purely local 
one. Stock has been taken by a great many of the well-known 
shooters of the country. W^e propose erecting a large clubhouse 
and making such other improvements as will be necessary to 
have a strictly first-class trapshooting park, and will spend upon 
improvements alone, in the neighborhood of $4,000. We propose 
making this the best equipped grounds in the United States, 
having in view the securing of the largest trapshooting events 
which will ever be held in this country. We are going upon 
the theory tlrjt it is only necessary to show the shooters of the 
country and those interested in such sport that our grounds are 
superior to those of any other club, and that in addition to this 
we are able to handle the crowd. 
We will have sufficient frontage to place six sets of traps in a 
direct line, extending from one side of the ground to the other, 
and enabling the shooting to be done toward the north. The 
trolley line runs directly in front of the clubhouse, and one can 
step right off the car on to our platform. Indianapolis is so 
centrally locater" that it is an easy matter for shooters from all 
sections of the country to reach us, and on account of its ad- 
vantage as a railroad center, it will be of less difficulty to secure, 
rales than at most other points. W. T. Nash.
