formance on so windy a day. He won the .22cal. rifle and also 
leather gun case. Van Cleef and Wilson captured several of 
the other merchandise prizes, while Welsh was high gun of the 
heme club and also largest winner of sweepstakes of the day. A

U. M. C. Southern Squad Wind Up. 
Indianapolis, Ind., April 2. — The Southern touring team 
caught up here with their forward man, Frank Butler, and a 
royal time they had. The only thing that marred the pleasure of 
the shoot was the strong wind, causing low scores. A side wind 
has a decided sweep across the local territory that adjoins this 
beautiful shooting park. 
The worst troubled shooter on the ground was W. H. Heer. 
Taking into consideration the number of shoots that Heikes had 
engaged, Heer was compelled to break 94 to beat him out for 
the high average. So, when Heer tried out two 25s and got 21 
each, it was a worse puzzle than ever. Billy did do a thing or 
two; he went to shooting high, and to his own surprise made the 
first 25 straight; then he went at it strong, closed the 50 with a 
49, and the next 50 the same, a total of 98. This gives him the 
score of 395 out of the last 400 shot at. Look at the scores made 
by all the others .shooting, then you will see what shooting he 
actually did. The scores:

Menomicee Gun Club. 
Menominee, Mich., April 4.— The weather being quite spring- 
like and inviting, several of the boys got up their enthusiasm and 
met on the grounds back of the hotel for their first tryout. There 
was no let-up until 250 shots had been fired. Some good scores 
were made, that of Kane being the best. McQueen, of Bay City, 
was present, and helped boost the dub he organized. Mr. F. H. 
Siefkin was on the ground showing up the new automatic rifle.

Middletown Shooting Association. 
MiDDLETOWN, Del., April 9.— The last shoot for the Parker 
gun, donated by Parker Brothers, was held on the 7th inst. The 
competition in the series was quite close; therefore there was 
much interest manifested in this shoot. There was quite an as- 
semblage of spectators. The gun was won by Ed. E. Massey. 
The poor scores, or, rather, showing, were due chiefly to the 
sliding handicap. When one of the shooters made a score he was 
handicapped by his score, as is shown by the handicaps of Parker 
gun event below. And we might say the 40yd. targets were a 
trifle stiff for most of the members, as the trapper was an ex- 
wheelman, and would- send target after target from 45 to 60yds., 
though the shooters would ask "his swiftness" to reduce tlie 
speed, he seemed to have but one gait, and there he stayed. 
This shoot was divided into eight events, and all members of the 
Association who desired to enter the contest were eligible. 
The Winchester Repeating Arms Co. also donated one of their 
repeating guns, which was shot off at 100 targets. The shooting 
was also very close and exciting in this event, as Brother Martin 
did a 24 clip in his first 25, and did not stop leading until he got 
past the 75 mark. After the Winchester gun event, Dr. W. E. 
Barnard defended the gold challenge medal in the same old style, 
this being the fourth time he has defended it. The club has 
secured several new members, and they hope to increase the club 
membership considerably during the summer. Below are scores 
of the day's shoot:

Cincinnati Gun Qub. 
Cincinnati.— April 9 was a bad shooting day. Heavy showers 
of rain and a strong wind prevented as large an attendance as 
usual, and also kept the scores below the mark in some cases. 
In the cash prize contest, Faran and Linn tied for high gun 
on 44, Maynard second with 40. Gambell made an excellent 
score in this event, breaking 46, but did not shoot from his 
handicap distance, and was not competing. 
Little practice shooting Tvas done, and the boys were all 
through by 4 o'clock. 
Cash prize contest, handicap, 50 targets; Gambell (16)

Gem City Gun Club. 
Dayton, O.— The club held its first medal shoot of the season 
on April 2. A large crowd was present. A strong wind kept the 
scores low. The club used a new handicap system, each member 
being allowed as many extra targets to shoot at as he missed in 
the first 25 ; high gun to win ; thus Rike lost 8 out of 25 and shot 
at 33. Rike and Munbeck tied on 29, and in the shoot-off the 
former won. The scores:
