Chicago Gon Qob. 
Chicago, Aug. 22.— Owing to the fact that a great many of the 
members of the Chicago Gun Club are at summer resorts at this 
season of the year, the attendance is rather small compared witH 
what it would be if all members — or at least the greater portion ol 
them — were in the city. However, interest in the sport does noif 
lag, and the attendance is very good considering the season of thd 
year. There is not a duh moment during the entire afternoon,, 
and the boys continue shooting until they cannot see the targets. 
Charley O'Brien put in an appearance at the club Saturday, it 
being the first time his smiling countenance has been seen there 
for 'some weeks, owing to the rush of business, which preventedl 
him from joining the boys at the trap. 
The race between O'Brien and Willard for first honors in the 
trophy was a pretty one, O'Brien winning out. 
Arthur A. Walters, the genial secretary of the Chicago Gun! 
Club, has been absent from the club for several weeks past, de-' 
voting his time to fishing at the. ne.arby lakes, but was out again; 
Saturday with the boys at the trap. 
Lem W' illard, one of the directors .of the Chicago Gun Club, is'! 
shooting a splendid pace this season, and has little trouble to" 
land inside the money at all times. His score Saturday was 98 out 
of 103 targets, and Lem shot poorly at that.

Os^ning Gan Qub. 
Ossining, N. Y., Aug. 22.— The accompanying scotes were*made 
at the regular bi-monthly shoot of the Ossining Gun ClUb to-day. 
Events Nos^ 7 and 8 were for <the prizes which are regularly 
offered by the club. Coleman- got first and Ball second in the 
7th, and in the 8th Ball captured first and Blandford second. 
These were handicap events; the distance of the shootiers is in- 
dicated by the figures following the names. Burns stood at 18 
yards, with his 16 gauge "pump," which was a little stiff, but 
then Burns is liable to shoot "way up" at any time ' without 
warning. In event No. 9, all the ladies were new at the game 
and objected to the recoil of any load that would be' of any use. 
The outlook for our Labor Day shoot is good. If any have 
failed to receive programmes, please send names to the secretary 
or captain. J. Blandford 2d is 8 years old.
