rote 170, Sligo 169, Breazeale 168, Fulton, Venturn and Picket 
same, Marston 162. In the 100-target race, Wade made 98, Faurote 
93, Ventura 91, Sligo 91, Beasley 90; others ran as low as 70. 
Bad weather interfered with the Memorial shoot at Muncie, Ind. 
W. H. McFadden won on 41 out of 50; Paro 36, Frank 32, 
Dewitt 27, Bailey 15, Menard 30. 
The shooters of Madison, Rockford, Beloit and Janesville, Wis., 
united in a shoot at the park on the electric line, on last Saturday, 
and the shooting interests are now looming up in the southern 
part of this State. 
Considerable trapshooting is being indulged in at the Golden 
State. On Decoration Day the Pasadena boys shot for an ac- 
cuiTjulated collection of merchandise. The Pacific Coast Trapshoot- 
ers' Association started at Ingleside May 29. The sliding handicap 
was to be used, and no doubt there was dropping for fear of 
being held at the far away mark. 
The St. Cloud, Minn., Gun Club, has taken up the making of 
scores. There are good men there who have much fun with the 
bursting of targets. 
Members of the Menominee, Mich., Gun Club, who are enthu- 
siastic are taking steps to organize an Upper Peninsula Associa- 
tion of Gun Clubs that will take in the towns of Escanaba, Green 
Bay, Iron River, Marquette, Kenton, Houghton, Calumet, Iron 
Mountain and other cities. As soon as the circuit is organized 
there will be dates set for a tournament for each town. 
The Middleton, Wis., Gun Club have flooded the West with a 
poster announcing their amateur shoot, June 13. On this occa- 
sion a new trap will be used. The feature will be that of the 
Seifken handicap. Shooters must bring their shells, as there will 
be none for sale on the grounds. 
A Decoration Day shoot at Aurora, III., brought out fourteen 
entries, and a good crowd were present a« onlookers. Harry 
Turner won a silver spoon. Brunemeyer, the veteran, won the 
second event. Then the best prize of the day went to the old 
reliable, Henry Tanner. Weekly shoots will be held at Downer 
Place. 
The La Crosse and Sparta, Wis., teams failed to capture the 
Chronicle trophy from the Viroqua Club in their Memorial Day 
shoot, held at Sparta. If the Viroqua men win once more it will 
be their property. The La Crosse boys shot poorly, as did the 
winners, hence their regrets at not being able to make a better 
showing. 
The renowned club house of the New Orleans Pecan Gun Club 
on the banks of Lake Borgne, where many records were made 
with the rod and gun, has been sold and passed to other hands, 
being for the present used as a boarding house. 
With a score of 47 out of 50, Mr. Tilly won the medal for June 
at the meets of the Boon, la.. Gun Club. There was a large at- 
tendance on Decoration Day. 
The Terre Haute, Ind., Gun Club held a shoot on Memorial 
Day, and 'the system of handicapping, target allowance, brought 
together the full membership, and a jolly time they had. 
The Winnebago Gun Club, of Oshkosh, Wis., though a little 
late in the season, held their first weekly shoot for this year on 
the last day of May. The scores were not large, though John 
Steiner made 17 out of 20. Those who took part were. Sawyer, 
Cliase, Clark, Rice, Athern, Steier, Heisinger, Gillan, Jackish, 
Dunham and Brown. New mernbers proposed were J. R. Chap- 
man, Rice and Ackerman. 
There has been an unusual amount of heavy wind in Texas this 
year. So it was not unusual, though it much interfered with the 
scores made by the Midland Gun Club when it met last Friday and 
contested for merchandise prizes. Shooting at 50 targets. Day 
made 46, Elliott 38, Flanigan 36, Baker 37, Pegues 35, Holt 32, 
Rankin S3, Reid 23, Homan 26, Pemberton 17. 
The Great Bend, Kan., tournament brought out some good 
scores, especially the last day, when the wind went down. The 
best shooting was done by C. F. Rankin, of Dorrance; E. W. 
Arnold, Larned, and Chris. Gottlieb, ' of Kansas City. Pawnee 
county won the three-man team race; out of 75 targets, they 
scored 64. The high averages for the two days were: E. W. 
Arnold, Larned, Kan., 489; Joe Reminette, Salina, Kan., 480; 
Chris. Gottlieb, Kansas City, 478; Paul Gano, Pawnee Rock, 
Kan., 477; Ed. O'Brien, Florence, Kan., 473. 
At the Meriden, Miss^, tournament one of the members asked 
the other to be present at the Friday shoot, as he would open 
something. A local wag said, "It may be only the box that con- 
tains the shells." 
It is reported that "Ducky" Holmes has set June 18 for the 
shoot with Clayton for the pigeon wing trophy. 
William Clayton, of Kansas City, is walking around with "a 
chip on his shoulder" and desires some amateur to go after the 
Elliott trophy, which he won from O. N. Ford. He will have 
the defense of the Wyeth trophy on his hands, as Holmes will 
take him on. It is reported that two matches will occur on the 
same day, both 50 or 100 live birds. If Clayton can duplicate his 
St. Joseph score, he will be the "talk of the town." 
The All Kansas team of pigeon shooters met the All Missouri 
at the Blue River Park, Kansas City, on Memorial day and re- 
tained the big Bob Elliott silver cup. Scores: Kansas- 
O'Brien 18, Arnold 20, Paxton 18, Anderson 18, Johnson 16. 
Missouri— Cunningham 20, Tipton 16, Gottlieb 17, Wilmot 16, Clay- 
ton 17. 
The Kansas City live-bird shooters will next take on the Kansas 
team. Harry Tipton, Paul Franke, A. C. Holmes, Dr. Planke and 
W. M. Clayton will be the team, and the contest will be a close 
one if Ed O'Brien can get his best team together. 
The Saginaw, Mich., West Side Gun Club has started in for the 
season's shooting. Several of the members will be at the Owasso 
shoot on June 14 
H. G. Kragman and Geo. Bell long for a try at live birds, and

The Omaha, Neb., Gun Club held their regular weekly shoot

Bird Club will open the season this week with a full programme. 
The shoot held last Thursday by the Plainview, Minn., Gun 
Club was a good one. 
A new gun club has been organized by the shooters at York, 
N. D. 
When July 4 shall have come around there will be inaugurated
