Hot Springs G«n CItib. 
Hot Springs, S. D., Aug. IC-The Hot Springs Gun Club 
entertained thirty trapshooting euthusiasts very pleasantly. This 
was the first tournament given by the club, a new organization, 
but nothing was lacking in the way of management or the usual 
equipments for the convenience of guests in such an event. The 
programme consisted of 190 targets daily, sweeps limited to ama- 
teur competition, money divided on the per cent, plan, and all 
shooting from 16yds. The background was rather difficult for 
one unaccustomed to it, but the boys went right to work and did 
excellent execution. Harry G. Taylor, who has been making 
them all go some in the South Dakota circuit this year, ran away 
from the crowd the first day, making a run of 117 and finishing 
the day with 187 kills. Harry Gayhart, of Hot Springs, and 
Riehl tied for secoiid place, with 12 each lost. The Black Hills 
championship gold -medal was won by Ted Ackerman, on a clean 
score of 25. 
The weather was again fine the second day, and many good 
scores were ttiade, Taylor, Riehl and Carter being at the top in 
the order nafned. The general averages went to Taylor, Riehl 
and Sievers.

Poughfccepsie Gun Club. 
PouGHKEEPSiE, N. Y., Aug. 20.— Eleven men turned out to-day 
to the regular weekly practice shoot, and some good scores were 
made. Capt. Travers shot in excellent form, breaking 105 out 
of 120 shot at, and had it not been for the bad light, caused by a 
heavy shower rising toward the last of the programme, his aver-' 
age would no doubt have been several points better. Dr. Borst, 
too, is rapidly rounding into form. While but comparatively new 
at the game, he is getting "on" in good shape. Reickert, an- 
other new man, covered himself with glory in event No. 7, for 
the Marshall cup, by breaking 20, which with his handicap, gave 
him a straight score. Event No. 9 was, owing to rain, shot from 
the porch, which is the 20yd. mark. Scores follow:

Greek Meets Greek. 
A CORRESPONDENT informs us as follows: The long-talked-of 
match between the two old veterans, "Old South «Paw" (Al Heri- 
tage), the left-hander, and Jacobstaff (Geo. B. Eaton), long known 
in the sporting annals of Forest and Stream, has been finally 
arranged to take place on the afternoon of Sept. 5, at the 'well- 
known grounds of J. Henry Outwater, another veteran in the 
sporting field, just across the Hackensack River, Old Pater- 
son Road. Rutherford trolley at Hoboken takes you direct to 
the grounds; fare 5 cents. 
This ought to bring out a phenomenal gathering of the old 
-sports, as both of the contestants are verging on the three-score- 
and-ten mark, one past the 69th year, the other 71 and over, . 
having been lovers and users of the gun for more than half a 
century each, but neither having ever shot a match. Previous 
to the said match at 3 P. M. sharp. Old South Paw will shoot 
a match, as he says, to get his hand in, 10 birds each with J. 
Heflick, another aged gentleman sport. Won't that be rather a 
handicap for Jacobstaff, this previous practice? Well, he doesn't 
object. 
The original match between Old South Paw and JacobstaflE 
is at 20 live birds each, 28 yards' rise, Hurlingham rules— for 
fun and glory— and "may the best man win."

Chattanooga, Tenn., Aug.' 20.— Will you please announce in 
your trap columns that Mr. Arthur Gambell, of Cincinnati, has 
kindly agreed to manage the traps, grounds, etc., at our tourna- 
ment on Lookout Mountain, Sept. 15 and 16. This will be of 
interest to all trapshooters, I think, as Mr. Gambell's reputation 
as a successful tournament manager is widely known.

Col. J. T. Anthony, Mr. Long, Mr. J. W. Hightower were our 
guests this afternoon at our weekly club shoot. Mr. Hightower
