The Consolidated Gun Club, of Toledo, O., is getting into line. 
Their first shoot will be given April 13, with Gus Kneireem as 
captain. 
Duluth, Minn., shooters have crawled out of winter quarters 
and held their first shoot March 29. Mr. Fulton won the Panton 
& White trophy with the fine score of 48 out of 50. 
The Valley Beagle Gun Club, of Wheeling, W. Va., are going 
to make a fine showing this season, and have bought a Leggett 
trap. 
That great pair of shooters and old-time Nebraskans, Dan Bray 
and Geo. ^Schroeder, at Columbus, Neb., are going to have all 
the State boys with them May 18, 19 and 20. Many of the trade 
representatives will also journey thither to attend the twenty- 
eighth annual tournament. 
What a busy time the week preceding the G. A. H. will be for 
trapshooters. The Ohio, Michigan and Illinois State shoots will 
all be on, besides the New London, la., which should be as large 
as any of the others. 
The Ohio Trapshooters' League now has forty clubs enrolled, 
and the selection of Akron was very much to the interest of the 
local club. 
A special meeting of the Mankato, Minn., Gun Club was held 
on last Thursday. The meeting was interesting, there being 
twenty-five members present. A trophy shoot will be held during 
the year, the same commencing this week. 
Wm. Myers, of Toulon, 111., was backed to shoot at 100 targets 
and had to Ijreak 86 to win.' His friends had $20 up on the result 
and pandemonium reigned while the shooting was going on, yet 
he smashed out 88. 
The programme is out for a shoot at Ames, Iowa, to be held 
April 12 and 13. The towns of Randall, Jewell, Stratford and 
Ames are united with Dr. Proctor as the head center. Two 
hundred targets will be shot each day if the entry is made with 
one Fred Whitney. 
Marshall Sharp, after his long tramp throughout the South, was 
seen in St. Louis, April 2 as he was on his way to Omaha, his 
headquarters. He was looking well even if he did travel as fast as 
Frank Butler while laying out the route for the U. M. C. South- 
ern Squad. 
H. W. Cadwallader, who for many years was located at Dan- 
ville, 111., and known as "Cad" the good shot, is now traveling 
in the interest of the Peters Cartridge Co., was last heard from 
in Wisconsin. 
Billy Allen, of Hutchinson, Kans., shot a match last week 
against an vmknown, who sported the name of Francotte, and 
Allen took his scalp with a score of 49 out of 50. 
The Wabash, Ind., Gun Club, of the Indiana League, promise 
a fine tpurnament on May 3 and 4, as it has purchased one of the 
newest autotraps. 
The programme for the Rensselaer, Ind., Gun Club tournament 
is now ready for distribution. The shoot will be held April 20-21, 
with Everett Brown, manager. The conditions should draw well, 
especially the silver cups for Indiana and Illinois shooters. 
On Saturday last, Harold Money dropped in on Alex. Mermod 
at St. Louis, and there was a happy meeting of two old cronies. 
A trip was made to the shooting park in the afternoon. 
When the champion Texas shot of Dallas comes to town in the 
person of F. M. Faurote, there is always something doing in the 
shooting line. He was the guest of the Gate City Club, Denison, 
Tex., on the occasion. Shooting at 75 . targets, Faurote was in 
championship form and accounted for 71. He made a run of 49 
straight, and this keyed up the local boys. 
Kid Spencer lost but 10 out of his string, while T. W. Dollorhide 
made the third best score. 
Brenham, Tex. — After much advertising of former dates, the 
Houston Club desire to announce through their manager, Mr. Alf 
Gardiner, of Brenham, that the dates have been changed to that 
of May 2, 3, 4, -5, and 6. Will all in any way interested please 
note same. This was found necessary not to conflict with any 
other event in the South. The attendance will be very large, 
owing to the fact that $1,000 cold cash will be added. There are 
many State medals and other interesting events. 
At a meeting of the Jewell, Tex., Gun Club, held March 24, the 
decision was to the end that a tournament would be in order May 
5 and 6. There will be $50 added, which will go as average money. 
There will -be twelve events each day, with a total of 200 targets. 
To make this an attractive shoot for the members of the Iowa 
amateur gang, there will be a large collection of merchandise 
prizes. The club will unite in their efforts to give a shoot that 
will draw and please. Will S. Hoon, the well-known shooter, is 
secretary, and will answer all questions. 
With the closing of INIarch and a prospect of good weather, it 
is a pleasure to inform your reader; that afler many long months 
Harold Money has returned to Kansas City, where he suflfered 
so severely a year ago, when he lingered between life and death. 
^^ j| tt>-4ty §tT««g P py^Tj he to enjoy better beaJtJ?, % 
fact, than formerly. All his friends will be glad to know that 
he is now on the road again, and that he has his "shooting eye" 
with him. In order to entertain him, a match was made and 
shot at Kansas City, March 31, in which he and Chris Gottleib 
outshot Wm. Clayton and Dave Elliott, and besides getting the 
laugh on them, sat down to a fine supper at their expense. The 
conditions were 100 targets per man. Chris can now appreciate a 
good partner, as Money pulled him out in fine shape with the 
extra score of 98, while he lost 19. The race was a very exciting 
one, as the score was a tie at the end of the seventieth round; 
but there the unexpected happened. After Dave Elliott had lost 
but 1 out of his first 50, he fell away in the last, and at the end 
was 2 behind Clayton, who made 85, and the match was lost by 
11 targets. 
There was a team shoot at Caldwell, Kans., March 29, the con- 
testants being the Deer Creek, Okla., Gun Club and the home 
team, eight men on the side, each shooting at 50 targets. The 
Oklahoma team won by the big score of 53 targets. The conditions 
were the worst that could possibly have been doled out by the 
Kansas dust storm. Only those who have been in Nebraska, 
Kansas or the Territory, realize what a dust storm, is, when the 
real estate changes hands and backs up on the opposite of the 
hedges. Under these conditions, the scores were made, and they 
are good, though looking poor on paper. None but natives could 
stand the pressure. The scores: Deer Creek team — Hartman 38, 
Strider 36, Reid 35, Eberle 34, Soucke 33, Craft 33, Ball 32, Mc- 
Alpin 31; total 272. Caldwell team— Ransom 35, Ford 35, Hazen 
29, Goode 28, Lome 28, Strubel 24, Baum 21, Burnette 19; total 319. 
The members of the Abilene, Tex., Rod and Gun Club are get- 
ting enthusiastic and will at least keep the traps going weekly 
until after the shoot at Brownwood, which will bring all the 
northwestern Texas shooters together. Shooting at 50 targets, re- 
sults as follows: Malone 3, Douglas 36, Motz 27, Briggs 37, Jack- 
son 23, Steffens 16, Winniford 43, Craig 32, Sterrett 41, Mrs. Ster- 
rett 28, Mackechney 8. 
Boston G«n Club. 
Boston, Mass., March 30. — Twenty-one shooters in all partici- 
pated at the Boston Gun Club grounds to-day, and were kept 
busy from 2 o'clock till 5, pointing guns right and left in hopes 
that some rmseen power would dump a bluerock in a charge of 
shot just long enough to allow the scorer a chance to play his 
part in the afternoon performance. 
Some were fortunate part of the time; others were unfortunate 
all the time, and the elusive target invariably sailed on un- 
scathed; and as the club's scorer remarked to a regular, "That 
target will give us another chance next week." 
No one felt bad, though, as the crowd mingled with one an- 
other, and between squads had smoke talks that were indeed 
interesting to hear and passed away the time in a decidedly 
social way. 
During the shoot, in some unaccountable manner, the club 
house caught fire, and but for the work and faithful service of 
Baker's Hancock protector fire brigade, pressed into running 
gear without the ringing of alarm, the club house would now be a 
thing of the pabt. As it was, no great damage was done, and 
the usual trapshooting contingent will congregate as usual when 
the proper time comes. 
Baker's return to the trapshooting fold was a welcome addition, 
and it just took one event to bring out all the old enthusiasm. 
Many of the regulars were likewdse the target for his jests. Same 
old Baker, some one remarked; and it did seem so, too, and re- 
minded one of the old days, when B. Leroy was one of the old 
standbys, and regularly stood on the 21yd. mark and smothered 
the larger portion of targets. Will VVoodard, B. Leroy's brother, 
was also present, and in the majority of cases proved that the 
Woodard name is a good one to have, if you want to excel in 
trapshooting. 
High average for the afternoon was taken care of by Hodsdon, 
his 85 per cent, just topping the second place holder by 1 per 
cent. Williams was evidently out for the average, but time was 
called for his sport at 3 o'clock; therefore, his excellent shooting 
does not count in the average. Next time, a longer stay will be 
looked for, though an increased handicap is sure to be the result 
of a 97 per cent, average. 
Mayor Reed, of Manchester, N. H., under the nom de fusil of 
"Jones," with his brother, who stuck to the family name, ham- 
mered away and made very creditable scores for a first appearance, 
and, according to their own story, better "things doing next time." 
Gokey's final 10 in the prize match landed him one target in 
the lead over Hodsdon and Woodard, and certainly is getting 
accustomed to the new gun in fine style, if scores prove 
anything. Bell's score in the prize match cut out a previous 17 
and now stands one target from first place, Frank says, he "will 
never get there if I can help it," a?jd being leader 8t present, be

Ossining GtJn Qub. 
OssiNiNG, N. Y., April 2. — Am sending you scores made at the 
regular bi-monthly shoot of the Ossining Gun Club to-day. The 
first prize event was at 25 bluerocks, distance handicap. The 
prize, a cut-glass and silver claret pitcher, was won by O. W. 
von der Bosch, from the 17yd. mark, with a score of 23. 
The second prize event was for the individual ownership of the 
cup won from the Poughkeepsie Gun Club, by the Ossining 
team. This is a distance handicap series, to be won three times 
to own. Those with the highest club percentages on the team 
start from 18yds. The balance from 16yds. Von der Bosch and 
Blandford shot from 18yds. to-day, the latter winning first leg 
for the cup with 24 out of 25. Hyland was a close second with 
23 from 16yds. 
The conditions governing this competition are that a man 
winning once must go back two yards, so Blandford shoots from 
20yds. from now on, as 20yds. was designated as the limit. 
Poughkeepsie has set April 23 for the three-cornered team shoot, 
in which Schenectady is included. This promises to be a big 
event. 
Figures after names denote handicaps in event for claret
