Clackiaati Gun Club. 
Cincinnati, O. — The weather on May 28 was all that could be 
desired, and the attendance was, almost a record one. Sixteen 
shooters made straight scores in the Parker prize gun contest, in- 
cluding their handicaps. Harig and Ahlers tied for high gun in 
actual breaks with 89 each. Then came Randall and Faran with 
. 84 each. ' 
Not quite as much practice shooting was done to-day as usual. 
Several matches were shot, in which good scores were made. 
During the afternoon 3,500 targets were trapped, which speaks 
well for the way in which Supt. Gambell keeps things running. 
The club has lost F. Waddell, of the DuPont Powder Co., as he 
has removed to Wilmington, Del. 
The following additional scores were made in the cash prize 
contest of May 21, handicaps of yards in "parentheses: "Bleh (18) 
41, Deck (20)40, PL Sunderbruch (16) 37, Sampson (16)' 36, Rybolt 
(17) 32. 
A 100-target race was shot on May 22, C. O. Le Compte winning 
with 91. Gambell and Williams tied for second on 89, the former 
making a ran of 51. The scores: Le . Compte 91, Gambell 89, 
Williams 89, Ahlers 87, A. Sunderbruch 81.

BONASA. 
Mtssotifi League of Ttapshootefs. 
St. Louis, Mo., May 23.— Early in the week, it being Mon- 
day, there was a gathering of trapshooters from Missouri and the 
west at Dupont Park, which . is situated where the towers of 
the World's Fair buildings can be plainly seen, the occasion 
being that of the second tournament of the Missouri League of 
Trapshooters. 
The weather was good and the attendance fair, though not so 
large as it would have been, providing there had been more 
time for advertising the shoot, as a change had been made from 
Butler to this place. In all there were 33 participants. 
The trade was represented by Harold Money, W. H. Heer, 
H. W. Vietmeyer, Chas. Spencer, Tom Norton, Mr. Thorns, 
Hart Bronaugh, Leslie Standish, Mr. Sharp and Mr. Williams, 
and they were a busy lot of gentlemen. 
The best score of the day was made by Harold Money, his run 
of 99 out of 100 was extra, considering the conditions, which 
were of a very trying order as the scores will show. 
The background at this park is bad and the traps face the sun. 
A Leggett trap and a raagautrap were used and both were 
throwing the targets good and plenty. The high amateur score 
was made by Harlow Spencer, of St. Louis,_ and in doing so-he 
missed 30. Mermod was next with 32. 
The individual championship was won by young Guy Ward, 
of Walnut Log, Tenn. Both he and his father did not shoot the 
load that they were used to, and fell as many others did below 
their usual average. 
The Canvasback Camp donations for high averages was won 
by the home boys. Spencer and Mermod. The secretary. Dr. 
Clapp, of Moberly, left his pill bag behind and shot the pro- 
gramme through and came off winner of third prize. 
It was decided that the next meeting of this league should be 
held at Butler on June 14 and 15. As this town is situated in 
the southwest part of the State where the shooters are plentiful, 
there should be a good turnout. 
During the afternoon Wm. Clayton, of Kansas City, won the 
Elliott target trophy from O. N. Ford, of Central City, Iowa; 
scores, 81 to 80. The scores:

St. Paul Rod and Gun Club. 
St. P.iUL, Minn., May 24. — Inclosed find scores made at ' our 
regular club shoots, Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. 
Despite the fact that most of the best shots were at the Min- 
neapolis Gun Club tournament, held at Inter-City Park, we had 
a fair attendance. Messrs. Figge and Bazille each made 15 
straight. We have taken in forty new members, and our score 
sheets do not look as well now as they will later, after more, 
experience. 
Our new park is now completed, and we have no hesitancy in 
saying it is the best in the Northwest.

Grand American Handicap Target Tournament, 
The manner of shooting all events scheduled for the Grand 
American Handicap target tournament is as follows: 
Five sets of traps will be used, and five different events will 
be commenced at the same time, one respectively at each set of 
traps. The total number of qualified contestants will be divided 
into five sections, as nearly equal in number as possible, and a 
section will be started at the same time at each set of traps. 
After all members of a section have finished competing. at their 
set of traps, they will pass on to the next set of traps and com- 
pete there, and so on until they have competed at each of the 
five sets of traps. 
For example: Say that we have 200 entries — 40 squads of five 
men each. Divide the 40 squads into five sections and it would 
make 8 squads to each section. Squads 1 to 8 would compose 
•the first section. Squads 9 to 16 would compose the second sec- 
tion. Squads 17 to 24 would compose the third section. Squs^ 
25 to 32 would compose the fourth section, and squads 35 to 
would compose the fifth section. These sections simultaneous 
would be started at Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 sets of traps respective; 
After all squads of a section finished competing at a particui 
set of traps, their entire section would pass on to the next s 
of traps and compete there, and so on -until they have completj 
at the entire sets of traps. 
The foregoing arrangement will do away with a stjiiad shootij 
100 targets "off the reel," right down the line of five sets 
traps. Yet a true equity will be maintained, as each eotltesti 
will compete alike in each particular event. 
This arrangement is made possible through there being a rtj 
in force at the Grand American Handicap target tournamei 
whereby a contestant who takes part in the tournament any <1; 
must positively make entry for all events called for . by the 
gramme of that day. 
The three handicap events will be conducted in the same mai 
ner, as they will be shot in strings of 20 targets at each of t] 
five sets of traps, which is practically the same as five differe: 
events. The Interstate AssociATiON.i

Hell Gate Gun Club. >j 
Carlstadt, N. J., May 27.— These ' Hell Gate scores were shot, 
one day. May 24. The weather was warm, with a southwest wiE 
to help the birds out. The birds were both fair and slow, d 
pending on age of birds. John Schlicht, to whom fell the honoi 
of the day, had about as fast a lot as fell to any shooter of tli 
club, and he killed them all clean. Hughes, a Class C man, sh< 
in good form. Mr. Belden was unfortunate in dropping thef 
over the line. The same with Wilson and Langfe. Mr. Meckj 
was taken ill, and the last three birds on his score of June shoe
