information from Cincinnati that Mr. Arthur Gambell's son 
Lutie has so far recovered from his recent injury that he is able

covery be near.

We are informed that the Yale Gun Club has disbanded. There 
will be no Yale team in the Intercollegiate championship match 
Nov. 21, at Cambridge, this year. The Yale team was the most 
successful of any team in the Intercollegiate contests. The 
action to disband was consequent to the refusal of the University 
Athletic Committeee to grant the wearing of "Y," thus leaving 
the team without any insignia. 
Mr. Will K. Park, the popular and energetic trap editor of 
Sporting Life, announces that the committee on the "Howard 
Ridge testimonial" have turned over to Mrs. Ridge $237, the net 
amount realized in the testimonial event held in connection with 
the Florists' shoot Sept. 29-Oct. 2. The amount includes all 
the moneys received, whether the tickets were used or not. 
He concludes by saying: "All who assisted in any way in this 
testimonial have the sincere thanks of the committee and the 
beneficiary."

Mr. J. S. Fanning, an eminent trapshooter of the Laflin & 
Rand Powder Co., has many interesting anecdotes of his eleven 
months' sojourn on the Western coast. One item of especial 
interest to trapshooters is the great tournament to be lield in 
conjunction with the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition in 
1905, at Portland, Ore. At least $5,000 will be added, and no one 
will be barred from competition and no one will have a handi- 
cap. The exposition is to be held in commemoration of the 
exploration of Oregon by the Lewis and Clark expedition, which 
was the beginning of Oregon's development, as indeed it was 
the developmental beginning of the entire Northwest by the great 
fur companies of Canada and the United States.

Last week it so happened that two skillful sportsmen, famous 
trapshooters, were visitors in New York. One was Mr. W. T. 
Nash, president of the Indianapolis Gun Club; the other was 
Col. B. W. Sperry, secretary of the Jacksonville, Fla., Gun Club. 
Each one is a performer of eminent skill. What was more har- 
moniously in order than to arrange a friendly shoot; so on Thurs- 
day, with Mr. John S. Wright, in his happiest niood of mind and 
actively in charge of the shoot, the party assembled on the 
.grounds of the Brooklyn Gun Club. Besides Messrs. Sperry 
.and Nash, there were Messrs. C. A. Lockwood, of Jamaica, and 
Wm. Hopkins, of Aqueduct, two of New Y^ork's best, and Messrs. 
Batten and Waters, of Forest and Stream. The wind blew 
stifily and variably, the targets were thrown swiftly and vari- 
ously, yet the visitors proved their skill. Both were handicapped 
by using strange guns. Messrs. Nash and Hopkins, in an event 
at doubles, scored 8, which was excellent work under the hard 
conditions. Col. Sperry broke 22 out of 25 in one event, as did 
also Mr. Hopkins. Mr. Nash returned to Indianapolis in the 
evening. All departed with an earnest wish to ' try it all over 
again some day. Mr. John Wright's assiduous ' efforts contribu- 
ted in no small degree to the success of the event.

Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 24.~In a match at 50 live birds be- 
tween Messrs. Anthony A. Felix and Fred Miller to-day, on the 
Point Breeze race track, Felix won by a score of 42 to 39. A stiff 
wind helped the birds greatly, and made the shooting correspond- 
ingly more difficult. The birds were a good, strong lot. The 
conditions were 30yds., 50 birds:

A big crowd assembled on the grounds of the Corner Rod and 
Gun Club, Oct. 19, the occasion being the shoot for the State 
championship trophy between li. Clark, of Wabash, holder, and 
J. L. Head, of Peru, challenger. All conditions were favorable, 
well as the shooters enjoyed the day. 
the weather was fine, the birds a good lot, and the spectators as 
Shooting began at 9:30 A. M., the first event on the programme 
being a match between Joe Smiley, of Matthews, ind., and Will 
Ferrell, of Muncie. 'I his was at 50 birds for $50 a side, and was 
won by Smiley with 34 to 33. Of Ferrell's last birds, five fell 
dead out, more than enough to have won him the match if he 
had got ju.st a little more shot into them. After this three 
handicap sweepstakes and a miss and out event were shot. First 
money was divided by Rodney Fleming and Jack Hines on 
straight scores in the 5-bird sweep. Williamson and Clark were 
the only ones to kill straight in the 7-bird event, and divided 
first. In the lO-bird event Keller, of the local shooters, and 
Clark tied on 10 straight, and divided first. 
The boys played a trick on Sam Miner in one of the sweeps, by 
placing a spring chicken in the trap instead of a pigeon, it 
didn't rattle Sam a bit. He just killed the bird, and won the 
title of champion chicken shot. The retrieving was done by G. 
G. Williamson's (Muncie) dog Lady's Count Gladstone; a dog 
belonging to G. W. Wagner, of Peru, and Gale, belonging to 
Charles Rundell, of Fort Wayne. They did the work well, and 
it was a pleasure to watch them. Next the main event, the 
match between Clark and Head, was started. It resulted in a 
victory for Clark by a score of 47 to 44. Then came what- was 
the big event in local estimation, as Max Witzigrenter imme- 
diately challenged Clark for the trophy. This was according to 
previous arrangement, and the match was started at once. Witz 
shot in fine form, and won by a score of 47 to 46. Once more 
the trophy is in Fort Wayne, and there it will remain until a 
better man than VVitz comes along. The scores:

Chicago, Oct. 24. — ^The appended scores were made on our 
grounds to-day on the occasion of the sixth trophy shoot of the 
fourth series. Fred Stone won Class A trophy on a score of 24: 
out of 26. Snyder won B on 22, and Birkland C, on 16. Aside 
from a rather chilling wind from the right quarter, the day was 
a fine one for trapshooting. The wind, while chilly, was not 
strong enough to materially affect the flight of targets. 
One more shoot winds up the regular season. If attendance 
warrants it we may continue.

Lake Denmark, N. J., Oct. 24. — A pleasant live-bird shoot, two 
events, was shot at Lake Denmark to-day, one of the contestants 
being the redoubtable expert, Mr. Thomas W. Morfey. This is

now devoting his energies to the Mount Pleasant Dairy, Stock 
and Poultry Farm, at Dover, N. J., in which he is making 
notable success. 
All the contestants were of Dover, excepting two, Mr. James 
Timmons, of Morristown, and Mr. John Rickett, of Rockaway. 
Class, Jr., is a youth of sixteen or seventeen years. His scores 
of 9 out of 10 and 5 straight are excellent. Mr. Timmons was
