Cincinnati Gun Club* 
Cincinnati, O. — The weather on Dec. 5 was clear and cool, 
with little wind, and the attendance was consequently much 
larger than on the previous Saturday. The main event was the 
contest in the cash prize series. Seventeen shooters took part. 
Gambell was high gun in this with 46; A. Sunderbruch second 
with 43. R. Trimble, from the 21yd. mark, came third v/ith 41. 
Some practice was indulged in, but the early coming of dusk 
stopped the sport at about 4:30. 
Mr. Eugene Dupont, of the Dupont Powder Co., Wilmington, 
Del., visited the grounds to-day in company with Mr. F. S. 
Waddell. 
Ralph Trimble starts on Monday for a trip through Ohio. 
Colonel will leave next week for Galveston, Tex., and thinks 
he may get a few ducks. There are plenty of them in that local- 
ity, and we believe that he will have good sport and get a good 
bag. Here's luck to him. 
Thos. H. Cassity, of Nashville, Tenn., was in the city to-day. 
He made only a brief stop, as he is on his way to New Haven, 
Conn. 
Supt. Arthur Gambell gave his annual game supper to a few 
friends on Dec. 1. The game was prepared in the highest style 
of the culinary art by Mrs. Gambell, and those who were for- 
tunate enough to attend had the time of their life. Stan. Rhoads, 
Del Gros, Lew Pfiefier were among the guests, and the time was 
passed in story-telling, singing, etc., the party not breaking up 
until the "wee sma' hours." They'll all be on hand next year. 
Following are additional scores, allowance handicap, made in the 
Parker prize contest of Nov. 28, by those who were unable to be

The club held its usual holiday shoot on Thanksgiving Day. 
The weather was clear and cold, but a strong wind blowing 
across the traps made the targets very erratic in their flight, and 
the scores were very low. It is seldom that 74 out of 100 takes 
high gun on these grounds. 
The entrance in the programme events was $12,50, money 
divided Rose system, 5, 3, 2. Fourth prize in each event was a 
fine 121b. turkey. - After the shoot-offs the following won the 
turkeys: Herman two, Faran two and Ahlers four. 
One-half cent for each target shot at was set aside, half to be 
divided among the two high guns, 60 and 40 per cent.; the other 
half to three low guns divided equally. 
Medico won high gun on 74, and received ?2.3o; Dreihs second 
on 69, $1.60. The three low guns, Herman, Williams and Faran, 
received $1.30 each. 
A. W. du Bray returned a few days before from an extended 
stay in the Northwest. Tlie totals of ten 10-target events follow: 
Jay Bee 52, Maynard 66, Gambell 66, Ahlers 67, Barker 61, 
Faran 59, Medico 74, Herman 30, Harig 47, Williams 56, Dreihs 
69. 
Colonel shot at 80, broke 11; Ackley shot at 50, broke 23. 
Shoot-off of ties for turkeys, 10 targets: 
First event: Herman 4, Faran 6. 
Third event: Barker 7, Faran 5. 
Fourth event: Gambell 7, Ahlers 8, Barker 7, Faran 8. Shoot- 
off of second tie: Ahlers 7, Faran 3. 
Sixth event: Ahlers 8, Faran 6. 
Seventh event: Ahlers 6, Herman 2. 
Only eight took part in the contest, 100 targets, handicap in 
the Parker gun series. It was cold and a thick fine snow was 
blown into the faces of the shooters, making good scores an im- 
possibility. The scores tollow: Jay Bee (25) 78, Williams (18) 97, 
Roanoke (40) 96, Block (16) 79, Gambell (101 83, See (10) 93, 
Herman (25) SO, Medico (T2) 72.' ^

Ashland Gan C ob. 
Lexington, Ky., Nov. 26.— I append herewith a clipping from 
the Lexington Democrat containing an account of our regular 
weekly shoot. Robt. S. Skinner. 
The Ashland Gun Club yesterday afternoon held its regular 
weekly club shoot. 
Several of the members are out of town on theii- annual hunting 
trips. Those who were at the meeting had a most enjoyable little 
shoot, making, too, some cxcenent scores. 
Everybody seemed to be in fine humor, even to the trap boys, 
who kept continually changing the angles and occasionally giving 
vent to a mocking laugh as a target would be missed by the 
shooters. 
Roger H. Smith was out for the first time in many months, 
he having but recently recovered from a long illness and operation 
on his ear; but Roger with his little 16'gauge showed the boys 
that he had not forgotten how to smash 'em. It is worthy of 
note how many of the shooters here are taking to the 16-gauge 
guns, not only for the field, but for target shooting. George K. 
Graves, who has been absent for several weeks in New York, vvas 
out with his 16-gauge, and shot exceedingly well, breaking all of 
his previous records. 
Ed Perry, Earl Sellers and K. G. Pulliah, other fanciers of the 
smaller gauge gun, v/ere not present yesterday, but W. B. Talbert, 
the genial proprietor of the Blue Grass Commission Co., was On 
hand with, a brand new "pump" gun, and by his scores it seems 
that he now has a gun that fits him. 
Frank Van Deren shot "like a house afire," and in every event, 
all being 15-target events, he and Bob Skinner were right there in 
the 'teens. Much amusement was furnished for the spectators 
when Frank gave his rival for the honors of the afternoon a few 
shells of a new kind "just to try," and of course you know who 
finished high gun. 
The club will shoot Tuesday afternoons when the weather will 
permit, and after the holidays may have a big live-bird shoot and 
dinner. 
Sunny Sooth Handicap. 
Brenham, Texas, Nov. 28.— The Sunny South Handicap shoot, 
to be held here Jan. 18 to 23, 1904, promises to be very largely 
attended. We are now having our grounds rearranged, and pre- 
paring to enlarge our club house. Nothing will be left undone 
that w ill add to the pleasure and comfort of the attendants. In 
time for the shoot, we will have everything in shape to take care 
of any number of shooters. We will have four sets of target traps 
and four sets of live-bird traps ready for use, and as many sets as 
the attendance justifies will be used. 
Among some of the special attractions, aside from the regular 
handicap events, will be the contest for the Houston Chronicle 
trophy. This trophy is an elegant loving cup, emblematic of the 
Southern States' amateur target championship, and is to be shot 
for here once every year in open competition, by the amateur 
trap shots of the Southern States It will be open to challenge 
every thirty days, and must be defended by the holder. 
We have secured a suitable trophy to be put up for a ten-man 
team race. This match will be open to any ten amateurs coming 
from one State or Territory in the Union. 
The Texas team has been organized, and we have heard from 
several other States that are endeavoring to organize. 
All other events of the programme will be open to the world, 
and will be made very attractive. 
We are arranging for a big duck hunt to take place at the 
close of the shoot. Arrangements ars in progress with the rail- 
road company for special cars to leave here and stop at one of the 
best duck lakes :n the South. We will get a special rate for this 
trip that will not exceed $2 for the round trip.
