Club secretaries are invited to send their scores for

In a ten-man team match the Montclair, N. J., Gun Club de- 
feated the Verona Gun Club, at Montclair, July 4, by a score of 
180 to 162. Each man shot at 25 targets. 
N In the wind-up of live-bird shooting in New Jersey by the Jean- 
nette Gun Club, one of the oldest of that club's ex-presidents, Capt. 
Disch, was in attendance. He has reached the venerable age of 
nearly seventy years. He shot at the last bird, a fast one, and 
killed it skillfully. The bird will be artistically mounted by the 
club and presented to him. 
We are much pleased to state that Mr. Carl Von Lengerke has 
practically recovered from the severe injury which he suffered 
some weeks ago. He was a visitor in New York on Saturday, of 
last week, and could walk about well, with the assistance of a cane. 
He will start in soon to shoot with the boys and visit the trade in 
the interest of the Laflin & Rand Powder Co. And for his re- 
covery and renewed ' activity his many friends will rejoice. 
Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, Mass., June 29.— Seven shooters only braved the dis* 
agreeable weather to-day, and though somewhat disappointed at 
not finding a large attendance, were well satisfied with their after- 
noon's sport, and made good use of guns, etc., during the twelve 
events. 
The leader of the afternoon turned out to be Woodruff, the 
club's oldest standby, now shooting the same old form that was 
in evidence years ago, a run of 42 straight and a clean score in the 
match proving conclusively that gun, ammunition and man were 
right on the part. It was pleasing to have our old captain in 
shooting trim again, as the various handicaps in being forced to 
use strange guns are anything but encouraging. 
Second honors on average was looked after by Burns, the genial 
treasurer of the Middlesex Sportsmen's Club, his 81 per cent, 
topping Flower just a grain. Other scores:

Adaif (la;) Gun Club Tournament. 
Adair, Ia ; , June 28.— Coming the week following the G. A. H. r 
when nearly all were shot out, the shoot held here Tuesday, was 
well attended. Budd and Adams were just in from their labors at 
Indianapolis, and being in form, shot well. Wind was blowing 
hard and dropped many targets too suddenly. Budd was high, 
losing but 6; McDowell next with 9, Adams 11, Gutchell and Lam-

Mexfa Defeats Gfc esbeeck.

bers of the Mexia and the Groesbeeck Gun Club.

team, each shooting at 25 targets. Results:

Capron (111.) Gun Club Shoot. 
Capron, 111., June 28.' — The old trapshot, Alex. Vance, needs a 
little recreation now and then, so he gets up a tournament. On 
this occasion there were few out to join him. Boa, Dunnill and 
Graham having hardly recovered fro mtheir Indianapolis trip 
yet shot about an even gait. Dunnill and Graham have a habit 
of shooting well when they come to this city. Scores:

The secretary, Mr. Paul R. Litzke, of Little Rock, Ark., writes 
us as follows: "The fourteenth annual meeting and tournament 
of the Arkansas State Sportsmen's Association will be held in 
Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 10, 11 and 12, under the auspices of the 
Little Rock Gun Club. This organization will put forth every 
effort to make this event as attractive as possible, and with this in 
view, expect to add a liberal amount of cash to the purses, which 
they confidently expect will be not less than $500. The purses 
will be divided Jack-Rabbit-Rose system, and none but amateurs 
will be permitted to compete for them. Programmes will be forth- 
coming in due time, and further information can be obtained from 
Paul R. Litzke, Secretary."

World's Fair Shoot. 
St. Louis, June 28. — While attending the G. A. H. in Indian- 
apolis a number of shooters asked when we were going to hold a 
World's Fair shoot. My reply was that I had decided to pass up 
any attempt to hold another shoot in St. Louis, as I had been very 
much discouraged over the attendance at the State shoot; but so 
many expressed their desire to attend a shoot in St. Louis before 
the Fair closed, that I became enthused, and the result was that 
some forty men promised they would attend, consequently I wish 
to announce that on Tuesday, Nov. 1, we will start a three days' 
shoot, the first day being devoted to a preliminary contest at live 
birds, and target shooting for those who wish it. 
On Wednesday, beginning at 9 A. M., we will start the World's 
Fair Handicap, 50 live birds, $50, handicaps from 27 to 33yds.; 
money divided high guns; one money to every four entries. 
There will be a suitable trophy for the winner, and at the 
present writing, we hope that there will be enough added money 
to make this an exceedingly interesting contest. 
A forfeit of $5 will be required to be forwarded to me on" or 
before the first of October. Post entries will be $55.

For sheer concentration of mixed metaphors there is no recorded 
instance, perhaps, which surpasses a paragraph in a telegram 
from the Paris correspondent of the Daily News, printed in that 
newspaper on November 24, 1900. "To-night the prefect of police," 
it runs, "is taking strong measures to prevent uproarious scenes 
in front of the Hotel Scribe, but will hide his hand. It would 
be better to show it. The enemies of the republic are making 
use of Mr. Kruger to kick it over. The Republicans, afraid of 
going against the stream, tack. The Socialists alone have blood 
in their veins, and even they are too liable to run off the rails."

Cincinnati Gun Club. 
Cincinnati, O. — July 2 was an ideal day for shooting, and seven- 
teen members shot in the cash prize event. Barker shooting from 
21yds., was high gun with 45. Faran and Sandy, from 21 and 
20yds., tied for second on 42. Falk shot in good form, breaking 
41, and was tied for third place by Williams. The shooting to-day 
was done over the traps which will be used in the tournament, 
sets Nos. 2, 3 and 4 being in commission and working smoothly. 
Things are being fixed up in the club house, in preparation to 
handle the crowd, which will attend the big shoot this month. 
The office force will have more commodious quarters in which 
to do their work than they had last year. An out-of-doors dining 
place is being put up. It will be screened and roofed, and will 
make a cool, comfortable place in which to enjoy one of Mrs. 
Gambell's famous dinners, besides being much more convenient 
every way. 
It seems at though it would be a good scheme for the tourna- 
ment committee to try Mr. Shaner's plan of dividing the squads 
into sections. It surely simplifies things, keeps everything moving, 
and makes the conditions for all more nearly equal. By this 
method, in a big shoot, there are not such long waits as under 
the old plan. 
Roarer's Island Gun Gub. 
Dayton, O. — The shoot held on June 29 was the eighteenth in 
the series, which started on Oct. 26, and C. F. Miller, who won 
the trophy last year, has a good lead. It is possible he may come 
in a good second, but he will surely not be among those who "also 
shot." 
At the Springfield, O., Gun Club shoot on July 2 only a very- 
few of the members were present. Some are away at the large 
tournaments or have started on their summer outings. The 
scores made were fairly good. Poole was high gun with 83 out 
of 100. The Wilson trophy was won by Phillips on 19. In the 
Young Handicap medal shoot, Watkins and Henderson tied for 
first on 22. 
A match for the Phellis trophy was shot on July 1 at the new 
grounds of the Dayton Gun Club. The contestants were six-man 
teams of the Preble County Gun Club, of Eaton, challengers, and 
the Buckeye Gun Club, of Dayton. The scores were 270 to 260 
in favor of the Buckeye. The Buckeyes will be challenged in the 
near future by the Tipp Gun Club, of Tippecanoe City. 
The Hamilton, O., Gun Club was favored with fine weather on 
June 30, when they held their eighth trophy shoot. The badge 
was won by Parker, who broke 50 straight. Steinman was second 
with 48.
