Down on the revolver range, 50yds., were gathered a small 
group of revolver cranks who are seldom a"bsent from the Green- 
ville range on a Saturdaj' afternoon. In the group was John A. 
Dietz, who divided the honors in the Old Guard fair last week 
with Dr. R. H. Sayre. Dietz was in good form, and put up a 
score of 50 shots close up to the record mark, making a total of 
463 points. A. P. Proctor also shot in good form, and finished 
with four scores averaging 90. Scores:

Mr. J. B. Burnham, of Essex-on-Lake Champlain, writes us as 
follows: "It may interest you to know that one of my daughters. 
Miss Rose Burnham, has ju.st won a rifle in the prize competition 
of the J. Stevens Arms and Tool Company. The boy wasn't in 
it." The latter sentence refers to his son. Mr. Burnham is an 
accomplished sportsman himself, having hunted moose successfully 
in the wilds of Maine, shot big game in other sections, and 
attained notable skill at target shooting with both pistol and rifle, 
hence the young lady had every advantage in the matter of 
heredity. ,

The rain of Saturday in the East dampened the ardor of the 
shooters in that section, and the attendance at club shoots was 
consequently light. 
Mr. E. E. EickhofT, at the snoot of the North River Gun 
Club, on Oct. 17, scored his third win on the club cup, and 
thereby established a clear title to it as a part of his personal 
belongings. 
Mr. Royal Robinson, not many years ago one of America's

Mr. H. S. Welles, the energetic representative of Messrs. J. H.

The successful teams in the contests of the Western Pennsyl-

in the following order: First, North Side Gun Club, of Allegheny, 
85 points; Millvale, 43 points; Ruftsdale, 35 points; Ligonier, 27 
points; Irwin and Brownsville, 22 points each; this tie to be shot 
off later; McKeesport 14. ^ 
After an absence abroad of upward of three months, Mr. Justus 
Von Lengerke, of the firm of Von Lengerke & Detmold, 318 
Broadway, New York, arrived in New York on Tuesday 
afternoon of this week. He crossed on the renowned Kaiser 
Wilhelm der Grosse. It is surmised that he enjoyed a combina- 
tion of work and play in Europe.

Mr. John S. Wright, manager of the Brooklyn, N. Y., Gun 
Club, informs us that the prizes at his shoot on Saturday of this 
week will be well worth the earnest effort of the contestants. Mr, 
Wright shot a match with Mr. C. A. Lockwood, of Jamaica, on 
Saturday of last week, on the grounds of the Brooklyn Gun 
Club, which Mr. Wright would have won had he broken four 
more targets. The scores stood 74 to 71 in favor of Mr. Lock- 
wood. Each shot at 110 targets.

Mr. L. H. Schortemeier, with a delicacy which is habitual and 
surpassingly Chesterfieldiaai, calls our attention to the fact that 
the Hudson Gun Club team, of which he was a conspicuous 
member, Oct. 7, at Sheepshead Bay, was second instead of the 
North River Gun Club, as we inadvertently stated. It may inci- 
dentally be observed that Mr. Schortemeier was high man of his. 
team, a matter of importance which is respectfully presented for 
the consideration of expectant nations.

The programme of the National Gun Club tournament is a. 
work of art, and is full of information. We published a review o£ 
it in a recent issue. It can be obtained on application to the 
secretary-treasurer, F. M. Holloway, Indianapolis, Ind. Keep the 
dates, Oct. 26-31, in mind. The French Lick Springs Hotel Co. 
has donated $500 added money. French Lick Springs is situated 
on the Monon Railroad, of which the general passenger agent is 
Mr. Frank J. Reed, 198 Custom House Place, Chicago.

The Jackson Park Gun Club, of Paterson, N. J., was again a 
sufferer in common with many other property owners and dwellers 
of that much afflicted city, consequent to the recent floods, the 
Passaic River maintaming its reputation for responsive destructive- 
ness. With that pluck which has ever marked the Patersort 
people, the club will proceed to restore its much-injured grounds- 
forthwith. Mr. Garry Hopper, the energetic secretary-treasurer 
of the club, suffered severely in his business interests, his stock 
of ammunition being a total loss. He is pluckily readjusting 
and restocking. It is hard to down a good man or men.

"West Baden Tournament, 
West Baden, Ind. — The first annual West Baden handicap and 
grand shooting tournament given at this place under the manage- 
ment of that old-tima wizard, Mr. John L. Winston, and to 
which a $500 purse was added by the New West Baden Hotel, was 
pulled off on Oct. 14 to 17, inclusive. So far as enthusiasm, 
depth of interest, splendid grounds, etc., are concerned, it was a 
decided success. 
In view of the location, the magnificent grounds, hotel, equip- 
ment, and the fact that $500 was added to the purses, the attend- 
ance was not up to what it should have been. The only way to 
account for this lack of attendance must be that there has been 
so much shootmg in this vicinity durnig the past season that 
the majority of the boys are practically worn out. 
In aligiiting from the train' at this little town of West Baden 
when one looks to the left he sees the typical Hoosier village, but 
\. hen he turns to his right, he sees across a little valley and 
seated at the foot pf one of Orange county's noble mounlams, a 
magnificent pile of brick, stone, concrete and granite known as 
the New West Baden Hotel, conceded to be the finest in the 
world; in fact, upon entering this magnificent structure, one is 
transported Irom a little couiury vmage to the center of the 
gayest of metropolitan hostelries, Duilt here for the accommodation 
ot the thousanas of guests who come here to seek the benefits to 
be derived Irora the many springs which have made this piace 
the "Carlsbad of America." It would be impossible to describe 
in detail the magnificence and beauty ol the iNew West Baden 
Hotel; but one must be its guest to lully appreciate what is here. 
It is built in circular form around an atnuni surmovirited by a 
dome 200ft. in diameter, l35ft. in height, and which dome is said 
to be the largest in the world. 
But to the tournament. The earlier arrivals were Tom A. 
Marshall, Fred Gilbert, Col. J. T. Anthony, who arrived on Sat- 
urday previous; and these, with a few 01 the local boys, spent 
Sunday together, and on Monday shot at a few preliminary prac- 
tice birds. . , , 
1 liC tournament proper opened on Tuesday, the 14th, a most 
beautilul day, with the following well-known sportsmen present: 
C. O. Le Compte, Eminence, Ky. ; Stanley Rnodes, coiumbus, 
O.; Ed. Voris and Frank Snyder, Crawtordsviue, Ind.; J. B. 
Stipp, Bedford, Ind.; George Schwartzkoi^t, Columbus, ind.; 
Willard 'Ihoraas, Logansport, Ind.; P. Schlicher and diaries 
Bailey, Marietta, O. ; Hugh Clark, Wabash, Ind.; C. E. limyon, 
Lowell, Ind.; Tom Marshall, J. T. Anthony, K. O. Heikes, j, L. 
Head, Charles G. Spencer, John S. Boa, Fred Gilbert, Hood 
Vvaters, J. B. Barto, J. W. Gerlaugh and Dr. J. G. Senuur, com- 
pleted the entries of the first day. 
The traps are situated in a beautiful little valley immediately 
in front of the hotels and are set to face a littie nortn ot east, 
providing a beautiful background. As the three sets ot traps 
worked beautifully, and the targets were fairly easy, some spiendid 
scores were made. One Fritz Gilbert, Irom the 2iyd. mark, 
top-ped the professionals, missing but 6 out of 175, and Monsieur 
Le Compte led the amateurs with 10 misses. Out very ciusely 
pushed by Hugh Clark and Claud Binyon, each with 11 dough- 
nuts on his plate. The scores of the first day are as follows: 
Oct. 14, First Day. 
Scores of Oct. 14, first day, ten events, total broken out of 175: 
Thos. A. Marshall 156, C. E. Le Compte 165, J. S. Boa 156, S. 
Rhodes 162, Col. Anthony 151, Ed. Voris 164, J. B. Stipp 156,

J. L. Head 150, H. W. Ryan withdrew, J. Keedy 156, E. H. Tripp 
withdrew. 
Fred Gilbert was high gun, losing only 6 from 21yd. mark; 
Ed Voris made the long run, 89 straight, from 18yds.. 
Oct, 15, Second Day. 
The second day was another bright, sunshiny one, and the 
crowd was slightly augmented when A. W. Ryan (Paddy), of 
Troy, O.; Jim Keedy, of Shoals, Ind., and Ernest Tripp, of In- 
dianapolis, Ind., arrived. Good scores were again the order of the 
day, as there was no wind to interfere with the flight of the 
targets. Fritz Gilbert again topped the professionals, with 169 
out of 175, closely followed by Col. Anthony, Charlie Spencer and 
Hood Waters, with 9 misses, while Hugh Clark led the amateurs, 
with 11 losses. Pop Heikes, who stood alongside Fritz on the 
31yd. mark, was going a merry tip, having lost 13 the first day 
and 12 the second. 
The boys expect great things of Pop by to-morrow, as his eagle 
eye has begun to shine under the influence of these waters. The 
scores for the second day, 10 events 175 targets, distance handicap, 
are as follows: Marshall 156, Le Compte 165, Boa 159, Rhoades 
158, Anthony 166, Voris 156, Stipp 157, Schwartz 157, W. Thomas 
162, J. B. Barto 162, P. Schlicher 154, Bailey 161, Snyder withdrew, 
Clark 164, Binyon 151, McKay 149, Gerlaugh 156, Senour 139,

Ryan 149, Keedy 156, Tripp 134, 
Oct J6, Thifd Day. 
This was another bright, sunshiny day, and the crowd was again 
slightly increased by the appearance of John Amberg, of Chicago; 
Joe Blistine, of Lafayette, Ind., and Harry Norman, of Louis- 
ville. As this was the day for the 100-bird handicap, $250 to be 
added to the purse, great interest was manifested, and, as the 
wind kept very quiet, good scores were expected. There were 
five 15-target races on the regular programme, to be shot before 
the big race started. Some very good work was done, Mr. Le 
Compte going out with a score of 75, while "Hiz-zonner," T. A. 
Marshall, got very busy and skimmed along with 72 to his credit. 
Jim Head, Pop Heikes and Fritz Gilbert formed a short squad 
of three, and from their respective marks, 18, 21 and 21yds., did 
some very creditable work. In one series of events the three of ■ 
them broke 162 out of 165 targets. The first half of the big race 
■was shot before lunch, and some of the boys were feeling mighty 
good over their splendid start, Hugh Clark and John Gerlaugh 
having 49 as a beginner, closely followed by Heikes and Marshall 
with 48, and there was a whole squad of 47s. After an hour's 
intermission and a big lunch, the race was again on. Hugh Clark, 
who was shooting from the 20yd. mark, seemed to have the best 
chances to land the winner, but during the noon hour his face, 
which was being badly punished by a new gun, had a chance to 
get a little sore, and he got a bad start right after dinner, losing 
2 of his first 3. About the time 75 had been shot at, it was plain 
to be seen that one Mr. R. O. Heikes, of Dayton, O., would have 
to be reckoned with when this pot was split, as he had lost but 
2 out of that number. When he, with Jim Head and Fritz Gilbert 
went down to No. 2 set of traps to come under the wire a large 
crowd of interested spectators followed him up mighty close. Pop 
was back at 21yds., but he had his old Remington pointing about 
right and was surely hitting 'em on the nose. He yjent down to
