Cincinnati, O. — A few of the friends of Hon. Thomas A. 
Logan, known to the majority of shooters as "Ackley," and to 
many of the older generation of sportsmen as "Gloan," author of a 
work on shooting and of many interesting and instructive articles 
in the sportsmen's press, entertained him at a banquet given at 
G. W. Schuler's, on the evening of March 17. The affair was 
gotten up for the purpose of showing the love and respect which 
they feel for hini, and in appreciation of the character of true 
sportsmanship which he has always upheld and exemplified in his 
dealings with his brother sportsmen and fellow men. He was 
one of the early leaders in trapsliooting in Cincinnati, and is 
almost the only one of the old guard left who can be met at the 
traps; at over seventy-five years of age, he is still as enthusiastic 
as ever, and as ready to devote his time and energies to forward 
any movement promising to advance the interests of the fraternity. 
He was active in the organization of the old West End Gun Club 
in 1859, and was a leading spirit of the Cosmopolitan Gun Club, 
formed in 1884, for a number of years the most exclusive club in 
this city. He was an officer of that club, and for several of the 
last years of its existence his efforts alone prevented it from dis- 
banding. 
When the Cincinnati Gun Club was formed, in 1898, he trans- 
ferred his allegiance to that organization, and is still a loved and 
honored member. He has set a high standard for the sportsman, 
and has alv^ays vigorously combatted every move which tended 
to lower that standard. An ardent lover of field sports, he has 
always been an able advocate of garne protection and was one of 
the original members of the Cuyier Club when it was formed as 
the Ohio State Society for the Protection of Game and Fish, in 
ISTl. He served for a number of years as an officer and on 
important committees. 
The tables were spread for over forty, and there were few vacant 
chairs. The decorations consisted of ferns and flowers, and at 
each place was a shamrock in iionor of Supt. Arthur Gambell and 
St. Patrick. 
Col. Bob West was toastmaster. After the cigars were lighted, 
he began his duties by informing Judge Logan that the affair 
was gotten up wholly with the view of honoring him; and then, in 
a few well chosen words, he presented him with a magnificent 
solid silver three-handled loving cup as a token of the esteem and 
love felt for him by those whose names were engraved thereon. 
Judge Logan was taken completely by surprise, but recovered in 
a moment and responded as follows: 
"Mr. President and Gentlemen: Upon occasions similar to 
this, it is quite customary for the recipient to protest vigorously 
that he is taken by surprise, and probably he frequently is, al- 
though not always so; but I can assure you most earnestly and 
truthfully that I am really and entirely surprised. I have not had 
the slightest intimation of your purpose. I came here to-night 
with no thought except to join in the celebration of the birthday 
of our popular superintendent, which I was glad to do. I had 
no idea for a moment that the object of this meeting was to extend 
beyond that, and now that I have listened to these unexpected 
words of friendship and regard, and see this magnificent token, it 
completely overpowers me. At the moment I can think of no 
tribute that could come to any man that would touch him more 
deeply than this has touched me. To a professional man the 
highest tribute he may hope to receive is one which he may have 
from his professional brethren in token of some great success or 
progress in the directions they jointly follow, but an offering 
like this is of a different character. It comes to but few men in 
their lives, and when it does come it appeals to the heart, and I 
feel more sensibly than I ever thought to feel the force of the 
quotation that 'the heart feels most when the lips speak not.' " 
He then spoke of his earnest interest in the success of the 
Cincinnati Gun Club, of the pleasant recreation he enjoyed with 
its members, of the deep friendships he had formed in the club, 
and of the deep appreciation he felt for the honor conferred upon 
him. He concluded feelingly as follows: 
"It is true, as has been said, that in my time I have been con- 
nected with many associations of a similar character, but I can 
say frankly once for all, that never in my career have I found 
myself surrounded by a body of gentlemen more completely in 
accord with my feelings; that more completely command my 
respect and my love, as those individually and collectively that I 
have found in the Cincinnati Gun Club. If I say once more I 
thank you, it will be but a poor expression of what I would like 
to say, but I give you a pledge that the memory of this night, 
accompanied by this token of friendship, shall abide with me while 
memory remains." 
As one of the old-time shooters, and one who has been asso- 
ciated with Judge Logan as a member of many of the old gun 
clubs, Maynard was called upon. In the course of his remarks 
he said: "We indict Judge Logan to-night, not for an offense he 
has committed, but for the good he has done, while he has been 
associated with us. He has been with us not because he has 
won cups or moBey. but because he loves the sport. Some people 
were born with a silver spoon in their mouth, but he was born 
with a gun in his hand, and is an expert in all that relates to 
guns. Despite his handicap of years, he continues with us and 
sets a good example to the younger members." 
In conclusion, he said: "We want you with us as long as you 
live, and trust that will be for many years." 
Other speakers were S. O. Cundy, an old-timer, and champion 
shot; John W. Coleman, the originator of the testimonial to the 
Judge; George Krehbiel, Dr. Beebe, Emil Werk (Chief Rio 
Grande), who spoke of his first meeting with the Judge at Vin- 
cennes, Ind., while snipe shooting, and sang a few verses of the 
song which gave him the title he bears as a member of the In- 
dians; J. J. Faran; G. W. Schuler enlivened the evening by the 
story "Can He Stand the Gaff" and several vocal selections. A. 
C. Dick, A. B. Heyl, Theo. Foucar, J. E. Block, Milt Lindsley, 
C. W. Phellis and Arthur Gambell. Telegrams and letters of 
regret at their inability to be present were received from Joe 
Coyle, J. B. Mosby and R. F. Davies. The speakers told many 
good stories and witty anecdotes, but the main portion of their 
remarks expressed the esteem felt for the honored guest. 
The toast of the evening was proposed by Mr. F. E. Pond, and 
was drunk standing: "May the accurate aim and active interest 
of Ackley be maintained for another quarter of a century; the 
pen and precept of Gloan continued to promote sportsmanship, 
and the name of Thomas A. Logan be enrolled among other 
patriarchs of the craft— such as Izaak Walton, Daniel Boone and 
Isaac McLellan— who were hale and hearty until their years 
scored nearly 'a hundred straight,' while, like our guest, they 
were honored because they loved their fellow men." 
The festivities lasted until a late hour, and were brought to a 
close with the singing by all present of the song "Farewell, My 
Own True Love." 
. The cup was of solid silver lined with gold, about 12in. high, 
with three handles. On the space between two of the handles is 
engraved a wreath of oak and laurel leaves, joining the mono- 
gram T. A. L., at the top with a pair of crossed guns sur- 
mounted by a pigeon, and encircling the inscription "Thos. A. 
Lcgan, 'Ackley.' From Sportsmen Friends. 1904." On the other 
spaces are engraved the names of those who joined in the testi- 
monial, as follows: L. F. Ahlers, E. B. Barker, J. E. Block, Gus 
Boeh, F. E. Bullerdick, B. F. Beebe, J. W. Coleman, Joe Coyle,

Qncinnati Gttn Club. 
Cincinnati, O.— The following scores at 50 targets were shot 
last week in the cash prize race of March 12,' by members who 
were unable to be present on that day: C. Dreihs (16) 45, Grau 
(18) 42, Sampson (17) 37, Davies (18) 36, Bleh (16) 36, Dick (18) 36, 
H. Sunderbruch (17) 34, A. Sunderbruch (20) 32. 
The fifth in the series of team races was shot March 14, and re- 
sulted in a victory for Gambell and Barker by a score of 170 to 
148. This gives them a lead of 94. As there was no hopes of re- 
ducing this materially, the other five matches of the series were 
declared off. The winning team is looking for more victims. The 
scores: Gambell 81, Barker 89; total 170. Medico 84, Davies 64; 
total 148. 
The scores in the five matches show very consistent work on 
the part of Barker, who has been high gun in all but the first. 
Match, 100 targets: Gambell 89, Medico 84. 
St. Patrick was greeted with a pretty mean sample of weather 
in this village on the 17th. Cold, cloudy, windy in the morning, 
it settled down in the afternoon to a heavy rain and a strong wind. 
Only a few members mustered up courage enough to visit the 
grounds, and several of them shot their score in the Parker gun 
contest, besides taking part in the other events provided by 
Supt. Gambell in honor of his patron saint. 
A high wind and occasional hard showers made the shooting 
in the afternoon of March 19 difficult and uncomfortable, and the 
boys quit about 5 o'clock. In the Parker gun event Randall and 
R. Trimble tied for high gun on 89 actual breaks. Pfieflfer was 
second with 86. 
Emil Werk starts for Duck Island on the 20th for a try at the 
ducks. 
Stanley Rhoads was in the city, but the bad weather prevented 
him from coming out to see the boys. 
C. W. Phellis made a flying visit to the city on purpose to 
attend the Logan testimonial supper on the 17th, and left early 
the next day. 
C. O. Cundy, of Atlanta, Ga., one of the old-timers, has been 
in the city a few days and visited the grounds to-day. 
Ackley had the misfortune to blow the stock of his gun to 
pieces on the 17th, but fortunately escaped unhurt himself. 
Two prominent shooters of Ohio (names will be furnished on re- 
quest) will shoot a team match of two men from any State except 
Iowa, at 100 live pigeons, 31yds. rise, 33yds. boundary, for any 
sum from $500 to $1,000 a side. Match to be shot on grounds of 
Hilltop Gun Club, Austerlitz, Ky. There's a chance for some 
one, but it will not be "easy money." 
The scores of March 19, Parker gun shoot, handicap allowance 
added, follow: Randall (15) 100, Pfieffer (40) 100, Maynard (18) 
100, Jack (30) 100, Kramer (40) 100, Plunkett (40) 100, Willie 
Green (40) 100, Norris (30) 100, Boeh (40) 100, Pohlar (35) 100,
