notwithstanding the bad weather, about a dozen braved the 
storm and gathered at the grounds. There was such a steady 
downpour that no shooting was attempted. The gathering of so 
many in such a torrent oi rain was a great testimonial to Mr. 
Wright's popularity. The shoot above-mentioned has been post-

Omaha, Neb. — ^W. D. Townsend, Omaha's popular field sports 
promoter, and Fred Goodrich have purchased of Henry S. Mc- 
Donald the Omaha Gun Club shooting park, at the other end of 
the Big Bridge. The new proprietors will put in many needed 
improvements immediately. They will include a commodious 
addition to the club house, observatory, bath house, shooting 
platform and an entire new 12ft. fence, and expect to have the 
historic old grounds in perfect shape for their big seven-day live 
bird and target tournament in October. 
The grounds were dedicated yesterday, under the new manage- 
ment, with a live-bird and target sweepstakes, and the attendance 
was very large. The live birds were an exceptionally hard lot of 
swift flyers, and a stiff southwest sUmmer gale made the targets 
difficult and puzzling. The live-bird events, $3 entrance, two 
moneys, resulted:

Missouri Items, 
St. Louis, Mo.— During the past two years there has been 
considerable trapshooting at St. Joseph, Mo. The Metropolitan 
Gun Club has given two State tournaments and a largely attended 
free-for-all shoot, and there is still another one to come. The 
two large tournaments were given on the distance handicap 
order; but the next shoot, now scheduled for the first week in 
September, will be quite differently run. 
Frank Cunningham is a progressive gentleman, and he will 
show the shooters this time how the money handicap will work. 
He will set the trap to throw about 45yd. targets, and invite all 
the amateurs to come, and then he will take away money from 
the best shots after they win it and give to the amateurs shooting 
through the programme. 
.This meeting will be the coming together of the State Amateur 
Shooting Association, and arrangements are now being perfected 
for holding a two-day target shoot and one day on live birds. It 
is hoped that the clubs in the interior part of Missouri will rally 
to the support of the St. Joseph club, and make this one of the 
best tournaments of the year. Coming as it does, at the close of 
the Indian shoot, the traveling men will be in the W'cst, and it is 
a short journey from Lake Okoboji to Lake Contrary. 
The fishing facilities at Lake Contrary are not so good as at 
Okoboji, but the arrangements and accommodations for shooters 
are much superior. 
St. Joseph is a favorite resort for shooters, and there are always 
good purses to contest for, which is a great attraction for all. 
Poughkeepsie Gun Qufa. 
PoucHKEEPSiE, N. Y. — Twclve men turned out at the weekly 
shoot of this club to-day. In event No. 5, for the Marshall cup, 
Mr. Klein, with an allowance of 9 targets, tied Capt. Traver with 
a score of 22. In the shoot-off, event No. 6, Traver was the win- 
ner by one point. The shooting for this cup has been going on 
every, week since March 28, and is now settling down to an in- 
teresting contest, three men being tied on numbers of wins to 
date, Traver, Claymark and Winans having each won it three 
times, while several others have won it twice. This cup must be 
won six times to become personal property.
