Deny Tournament. 
Derry, Pa., Aug. 29.— Appended find the scores of the shoot 
at Derry, Pa., Aug. 25 and 26. Thirty-one shooters participated, 
thirteen shooting through the programme. 
The trade was represented by Frank Lawrence, E. D. Fulford, 
Chas. G. Grubb. Messrs Frank Lawrence and Chas. Grubb 
hustled squads. 
On the first day it rained almost continuously, and there were 
frequent severe storms, accompanied by thunder and lightning. 
The wind blew in the faces of the shooters, and on one occasion 
blew the targets so high they sailed back over the firing line. 
A sad accident occurred during the storm. Lightning struck 
a small house near the shooting grounds, killing a young man

Qncinnati Gun Club. 
Cincinnati, O., Aug. 22.— The Cincinnati Gun Club gathered its 
best scatter gun artists together last Friday and journeyed to 
Dayton, O., with the determination of regaining their reputation, 
which they lost recently at Mechanicsburg, and also to gain pos- 
session of the Phellis trophy, the ownership of which gives the 
right to claim the six-man team championship of the State. 
The race was shot over a magautrap, the targets being thrown 
about 55yds. 
The day was an ideal one for the sport. 
A more exciting race could hardly have been made, as it was 
nip and tuck until the last 15 targets, when the pace got too 
warm for one of the Daytonians and he "blew up." 
When Gambell and Sunderbruch went to the score for the last 
time against Craig and Cairn, the home team was one target 
ahead. Gambell took a "smile" or two, Sundy gritted his teeth 
and said, "Now, 'Old Scout,' get at 'em, and break 'em all." 
Just to show he could do it, Cincy's superintendent got his 25, 
Sundy 23, Craig 24 and Cairn 16, giving Cincy the race by 7 
targets. An eight-man team race followed. Results: 
Dayton Team-Craig 47, Jack 46, Ermel 44, Miller 41, Raymond 
40, Cain 39; total 257. 
Cincinnati Team— Gambell 46, Medico 46, Sunderbruch 45, 
Grau 43, Don Minto 43, Osterfeld 41 ; total 264. 
Eight-man team match: 
Dayton Team— Jack 48, Raymond 48, Ermel 47, Craig 45, Cain 
43, Ryan 43, Spangler 41, Tippy 28; total 343. 
Cincinnati Team— Gambell 46, Medico 45, Maynard 45, Grau 44, 
Sunderbruch 42, Don Minto 42, Barker 41, Osterfeld 41; total 346. 
Cincinnati Gun Club cash prize event, 50 targets, distance handi- 
cap, resulted as follows: Maynard,, 17yds., 46; Sunderbruch, 
19yds., 45; Gambell, 20yds., 44; Barker, 19yds., 41; Nye, 16yds.,

Sparta Gun Club. 
Sparta, Mo., Aug. 27.— Only four of the regulars faced the trap 
to-day. About one-third of our members are traveling men and 
are seldom present. A new trap and a strong wind blowing across 
the traps made good scores impossible. 
The scores in the 15-target event follow:

Arkadelphia Shoot. 
ArkadelphiA, Ark., Aug. 22.— The liberal programme of the 
Arkadalphia Gun Club for their first annual shoot, Aug. 20 and 
21, did not draw a very large attendance, but notwithstanding that 
the shoot was quite a success, and tlipse present were well re- 
paid for coming. The chances to win expenses were excellent, 
for with the liberal amount of added money one always received 
more than his entrance money when sharing in a division of the 
purse, even though it was fourth or fifth money. Thus , even the 
poorer shot won some money and is thereby encouraged to try 
it again. 
Why the attendance was not larger is hard to say, for with 
$212.50 added money and a fine trophy to compete for, the club 
.should have received a generous patronage, and thereby encour- 
aged to greater effort next time. 
In addition to the generous amount of cash, everything was in 
first-class shape, and the events were rapidly disposed of. The 
shooting was done over expert traps, arranged on the Sergeant 
system. The shooters faced CEist, and there was pi-actically a 
sky background, so little fault could be fovmd in this respect. The 
weather throughout was clear and pleasant, and not too warm. 
The first day there was quite a wind, which caused the con- 
testants some annoyance, as is shown by the scores; but on the 
second day the conditions were almost perfect. 
W. B. Powell, of English, was high on the first day with 163 
broken out of 185, wright and Camden being second with 158. 
On the second day, Turner, Hubby and F. M. Faurote, of 
Texas, two experts, put in an appearance, and they were in the 
van, \f'ith 171 out of 185. In the amateur class Farmer John M. 
Pemberton, of Little Rock, was high, with 164, closely followed 
by W. B. Powell, with 163. W. B. Powell won high average for 
the two days, $10 in ca.sh, with 326 out of 390. 
The Peters challenge trophy, a new emblem donated by the 
Peters Cartridge Company for the occasion, was contested for on 
the first day. This was a handicap event, and was won by Gibson 
Thibault, of Little Rock, with 44 out of 50 from the 18yd. mark. 
C. E. Pierce, of Camden, was second, with 43. This was the 
inaugural contest for the emblem, a beautiful gold watch charm; but 
the holder is subject to challenge and must defend the same 
every sixty days. Already there are a number of aspirants, and 
Mr. Thibault will be kept busy defending the emblem. 
The success of the shoot is due to the efforts of Messrs. L. E. 
Knott, Ed McCorkle, Dr. E. K. Williams, H. W. Allen and D. 
L. Graves. 
There were three Powells present, W. B., of English; S.' M., of 
Little Rock, and H. S., of Camden; they were not related. 
There were three M.Ds. present, and all answered to the name 
of Williams: Dr. H. E., of Pine Bluff; Dr. A. U., of Plot 
Springs, and Dr. E. IC, or Arkadelphia; these, too, have no 
family connections, to the best of their knowledge.

Birmingham —Nashville. 
At Nashville, Tenn., on Aug. 22, a match of high interest tool 
place between teams of the Birmingham, Ala., Gun Club and th. 
Plermitage Gun Club, of Nashville. Each team had ten men, an-. 
each man shot at 100 targets. The Birmingham team scored 82 
to 786, and won thus with a good margin. 
The Hermitage team shot far below their usual good form. Th 
best work on the Nashville team was done by Mr. Frank Legleil 
who made the excellent total of 90 out of 100. On the Birminf, 
ham team, Mr. John Livingston was only one less, 89. Th 
famous trap shot, Mr. Andy Meaders, of Nashville, was far helo' 
his real ability with the shotgun, scoring only 69. The membei 
of the Hermitage Gun Club, owing to their team work being s 
far below their average, do not feel satisfied to let the trophy rei 
undisturbed, particularly as the Birmingham Gun Club has at 
noimced that they stand ready to defend the trophy against a 
comers of the South. 
Jfr. J, T. Skelly, of Wilmington, Del., formerly of Nashvill 
and a member of the Plermitage Gun Club, was a visitor at tl: 
shoot.
