Afcfon Gun Club. 
The annual holiday shoot of the Akron, O., Gun Club, held on 
Washington's Birthday, Feb. 22, was a very successful affair, 
forty-eight shooters participating in the different events. 
The weather was not what is known as "ideal for the sport," 
as a strong wind was blowing most of the day and made the 
shooting very difficult. 
Ralph Trimble was the guest of the club. High gun honors 
were divided by Wagonsr and Haak, each of whom broke 127 
out of 150. Bradley was second with 126. 
It was intended to have decided the championship of Summit, 
Portage and Stark counties by a match between teams of the 
Canton and Akron clubs, but owing to the illness of several mem- 
bers of the former team the contest was postponed. 
The Akron club agreed to match any number of men whi-jh the 
Colum.bia Gun Club, qf Barberton, O., would bring to the score, 
arid the latter showed up with seven. The match was shot, and 
the Akrons won, 276 to 263. The scores in the programme events

Affcansas Championship. 
Little Rock, Ark., Feb. ' 25.— The two days' shoot under the 
management of Paul R. Litzke, which was scheduled for Tuesday 
aiid Wednesday, was fairly well patronized by both local and vis- 
iting sportsmen. 'Tuesday, the first day, was devoted to sweep- 
stake shooting, and a number of 5-bird events were shot. The 
money in these was cut up by Chenault, Dickinson, Bragg and 
T. Omohundro. Of these, young Guy Chenault showed to the 
best advantage, as he quit with 19 out of 20 to his credit. 
Wednesday was the most important day of all, as it was then 
that the contest for the Peters Cartridge Co. live-bird trophy, 
emblematic of the championship of the State, took- place. This 
proved, to be an interesting contest throughout, as it 'was nip and 
tuck between Dickinson, Powell and Conroy up to the very 
finish, and ultimately resulted in a tie between the two first 
named, as Conroy experienced a bad few minutes just at the very 
close, and lost his last two birds. Powell looked like a winner 
up to the very last round, as he then led Dickinson one bird, and 
to kill his last one meant the retention of the trophy for him. 
However, he failed to prove equal to the occasion, as he let this, 
not a hard one, beat him out; and as Dickinson killed, they 
were tied with 22. This necessitated a shoot-off, and here Powell 
ipissed his -'^j- <, - h"e Dickiii ^rn ki''(d ' ut s'r:;!; lit, and ther;b-' ' 
a.nncycd f' -v ■;l:r:-^p "n^hip and (i:c (raidn, , ' 
Gibscn 'Ihibcu't ■\::\ ' nc : '•■c'! d'\c---'-'. S ,:i ; time ago he 
1-ad Ihe oi-f rirnc f- ]:p _c Iv : r sht ! -nl c:;us-ht in a giir,- and 
this -vas ;Q bad-y iacvvate^ ;\i [o liie amputation of 
the thumb, and with the hand still bandaged, he entered the con- 
test nevertheless, and shot a little 20-gauge gun from his left 
shoulder and svicceeded in scoring 17. 
Dickinson, Jr., is the fourteen-year-old son of John W. Dickin- 
son, winner of the trophy, and this youngster gives every indica- 
tion of soon being able to compete on equal footing with the 
best shots in the State. 
The senior Dickinson is a local shooter, who some years ago 
was quite a factor in the sport; but he has shot little of late owing 
to a growing' business, which requires most c f his attention. It 
is evident, however, that he has lost none of his old-time skill. 
Nick Peay, another local shooter, immediately challenged the 
winner, and the match will take place within the next thirty days. 
After the main event a miss-and-out was started, and this was 
won by Fred Bragg on the sixth round, at which juncture the 
other nine contestants came to grief. 
During the afternoon Capt. Geo. E. Bartlett, expert with shot- 
gun and rifle, gave an exhibition of his skill that was both inter- 
esting and ehtertaining to the sportsmen and spectators present. 
Nothing that could compare with the feats he accomplished has 
ever been witnessed in this locality. The puncturing of small 
pieces of quarter-inch boiler plate steel thrown in the air with a 
.30-30 soft-point bullet was a revelation to many. Numerous other 
feats, -equally as difficult, were performed by the Captain with the 
.32-20 and the .22 rifle, also others with the shotgun. The won- 
derful cleanliness of the little .22-short was also demonstrated 
by firing 200 shots through one of these rifles and passing it 
around for inspection to show the absence of any fouling. 
On Thursday afternoon a five-man team race at 20 live birds per 
man was shot between two teams of local shooters for a supper 
and the price of the birds, scores of which are given below :

, Monlfeal— WcElmoont. 
Enosburg Falls, Vt., Feb. 22.— It amuses us old Canadian 
trapshots to hear the boys in this country complain about it being 
a cold day when out at the traps with the temperature up several 
degrees above zero. 
Below are the scores of a team race between the old Montreal 
Gun Club and the W'estmount Club, which was shot on the West- 
mount grounds on the 13th inst., with the mercury away down 
below zero, and in a heavy wind, with the snow flying to beat the 
band. It kept the scores down, but the boys enjoyed it, though 
they do admit that one day it was so cold that the birds froze 
stiff and dead in the air, and there remained motionless. There 
is nothing wonderful about this, you know, for, you know, a dead 
bird is incapable of motion, you know. .' 
This team match was for the Montreal cup:

ing, and with weather conditions most favor^!.ble, the U. M. C. 
Southern Squad gave a fine exhibition of trapshooting here to-day.

impressed the local sportsmen by the courteous and congenial 
manner in which they mixed up with the crowd. Rich], who has 
been with the squad most of the time, settled down to phenom- 
winning a hot race by .the score of 99 out of ICO, mak- 
run of 86 straight. Adams tied for second place with 96 
il form,

honor to entertain the U. M. C. Southern Squad, who are on a 
three months' trip touring the South, making the acquaintaccs of 
sportsmen and promoting trapshooting in general. 
Everything went ofif in fine shape, a large crowd turning out 
to see the exhibition. However, had the weather conditions been 
a little more favorable, better scores would no doubt have been 
made. The local shooters shot in good form, and much interest 
was aroused on all sides. The squad will always be received here 
with open arms as a result of the many friends made to-day.
