Cincinnati, O. — April 16. was unusually cold for this time of 
year, and this may have had its effect on the attendance, which 
was not up to the mark. The afternoon was clear and bright, 
but enough wind was blowiag to bother some of the shooters 
quite a little. In the Parker prize gun contest, Faran was high 
gun in actual breaks with 89. Pohlar and Randall tied for second 
on 84. Eleven of those shooting made full scores of 100, in- 
cluding their handicaps. 
Ackley is once more able to attend the shoots, and his woik 
at practice was fine, he breaking 40 out of 50 targets shot at. 
The following notice was posted on the bulletin board in the 
club room, and Supt. Gambell prefaces the announcement by 
asking, "How many entries will I receive for this race? Who 
will shoot through?" 
Amateur championship of the Cincinnati Gun Club at flying 
targets, ten races of 100 targets each, to be shot in strings of 25, 
all satnding at 16yds. First contest will be held on May 1, and 
one each succeeding week during May and June. The final 
contest on July 4. The championship of the club for 1904 and a 
handsome emblem will be given to the one making the highest 
average in the ten contests. Shooting to commence promptly at 
3 P. M., and will be postponed only on account of bad weather. 
In such cases two races will be shot the following week. These 
contests cannot be shot in connection with any other club shoot. 
Entrance, price of targets only, with optional sweep of $1 in each 
race, 60 and 40 per cent.

The programmes for the tournament at Mason, O., on April 
21-22, were distributed at the club to-day. The shoot consists of 
180 targets each day, and several of the club members propose 
to go and try for some of the money. They may get some, but it 
won't be like finding it, as there are some good shots in the 
-Mason club, such as Randall. A few of the Hamilton boys will 
likely be there also, and they can shoot a little. . 
Cleveland Gun Club. 
Cleveland, O.— The club held its badge shoot on April 13, at 
the grounds on Mayfield Road. The attendance was small, 
William 5 won the badge v/itli a score of 44; Jack a close second

Dayton, O.— The Rohrer's Island Gun Club's regular shoot was 
held on April 13, under hard weather conditions. A snowstorm 
with high wind prevented a larger attendance, and kept the scores 
low. Miller, C. Ballman and Schaerf tied for the medal, the for- 
mer winning in the shoot-off. . ^ ^ . -

Boston, Mass., April 6. — The regular Wednesday shoot of the 
Boston Gun Club was attraction enough for jiist tfeti shootets, 
and though the attendance was smallet than expected, the uslial 
good feeling prevailed. The eleven events were tepletfe with 
the interest that a trapshooter likes to see at arty shoot. 
High gun average of the day proved to be a battlfe royal betwfeen 
Allison and Griffiths, the former leading to the turife of orie tdr- 
get, and placing to his credit a 90 pei: ceiit. averagfe, aii unusual 
event on these grounds. Griffiths' 89 pfer cerit., howevfei", was a

Ashland Gan Club. 
Lexington, Ky., April 8.— The opening shoot of the season of 
the Ashland Gun Club , was held Tuesday last, April 5, and it was 
in every way a success. The weather man furnished a bright 
warm day, and even if there was a stiff little breeze at times, it 
only tended to give a tilt to the targets and cause a few more 
"goose eggs" to be added to the scores of the boys, many of 
whom had not fired a shot before this year. 
The nicHiagement had provided some live pigeons, and they 
proved to be a most select lot; not a sitter in the entire number 
trapped, while some of them were screamers sure enough. 
The Ashland has leased for the coming year the grounds of 
the old Belt Line ball park, right on the street car line, just out- 
side of the city limits, an ideal place to shoot both live birds and 
targets, as the field and sky' are all that, could be wished for. 
The mEmbership of the Ashland is limited to twenty-five, and 
already there is a waiting list, showing the desirability and the 
marked advantage of a club whose members shoot simply for the 
love of it. 
No one who is a resident of Lexington or Fayette county, and 
who is not a member of the club, is allowed to participate in any 
of the shoots; but visiting sportsmen who are introduced by any 
club member are most welcome guests of this exclusive and 
popular gun club. The scores of the last shoot are as follows:

Shooting Notes. 
Several of the most prominent men identified with the trap- 
shooting game are using their every effort to effect an organiza- 
tion of the three gun clubs of Lexington with those at George- 
town and Paris, Ky., form a stock company and purchase, or 
lease for a term of years, suitable grounds located on some one 
of the interurban railways that connect these three cities, and 
have the most complete shooting grounds in Kentucky. 
Articles of incorporation have already been granted, and sev- 
eral hundred dollars' worth of stock subscribed for. 
The shooters of Paris, Ky., are very enthusiastic, and as they 
are all well-known trapshots, and several of them very wealthy 
gentlemen, no difficulty has been experienced at that end thus 
far, the Paris boys only insisting that the new grounds be 
located easy of access to them. 
The club at Georgetown is one of the oldest in the State, 
and is composed of some of the best shots in the State, and at

present they have their own grounds and magautrap located 
near their city. But it is understood that, as they are only twelve 
miles distant from Lexington and an equal distance from Paris, 
with electric cars every hour, they will assist in the consolida- 
tion. 
At present there are three clubs at Lexington — the old Lexing- 
ton club, the Fayette, and the Ashland — and it seems likely that 
tile membeirs of eacii will tie glad to unite witii thfe riew cf-gaili- 
zation, wiiich will have evfety cotiveriiencfe riecessary for shooters 
and their friends.
