FOREST AND STREAM. 
[July i6, 1904. 
Sherbrooke Gun Club. 
t Sherbrooke, Quebec, is well named, when it is called Canada's 
_ Progressive City," and its gun club is one of its many live 
institutions. The members of this club are mostly active busi- 
ness gentlemen who take to this kind of sport, that of trap- 
shooting, as a pleasant and healthful recreation. 
This club's shooting park is by trolley line within easy access 
of the business part of the city. They have a comfortable club 
house with a magautrap and expert traps, etc. The background, 
while not perfect, is better than the average found on similar 
grounds, the only serious objection is that a couple of fine elms 
are in range of the left quartering targets. It would be a 
sacrilege to cut these noble trees down, though the peppering 
that they must receive during practice days must make life a 
burden for them. 
Dominion Day, July 1, is the date for this club's annual tourna- 
ment, and the one held there last Friday, though not large in 
attendance, was a very enjoyable one, as the day was perfect and 
the general arrangements were all that could be desired. 
The trade was represented by J. H. Cameron, E. G. White 
and N. P. Leach. The club's secretary, Mr. C. H. Foss, with 
the assistance of Mr. Cameron, attended to the duties of the 
cashier's office. Mr. Bray, Jr., was official scorer, and Mr. 
Leach was umpire of the team shoot between the Montreal and 
Sherbrooke Clubs. 
All present had a royal good time, that is, with one single ex- 
ception, that of the writer, who was a little off. We had a new 
gun and a several years' accumulation of old shells of all kind 
of loads which were not conducive to making good scores. These 
facts were seemingly taken advantage of by our younger com- 
petitors, who proceeded to, figuratively speaking, smite us oil 
the hip, jawbone, stomach, in fact, they walked all over us, to 
our discomfort. They took our money, that is, the cashier did, 
as we paid for our targets and received no discount for the 
pick-ups; and when we borrowed some good loads and ran up 
a respectable score, the young pencil-pusher of a scorer, by 
mistake, marked down our duck eggs in the place of our breaks, 
which made our score look mighty small, I can tell you. Then, 
again, that staid, respectable old gentleman of a Montreal grocer, 
who we should be able to beat with any kind of a load, must get 
frisky and start off at a record-breaking pace which left us so far 
behind that we warn't within '-'hollering distance." 
When we compare our scores with those made by the other 
shooters, we feel that they must have a prejudice against us, 
and such being the case, we feel perfectly justified in withdrawing 
our name from the list and remain by ourselves in congenial 
company — Ta-ta. 
The ninth event was the team event, which we give first place. 
Five-men team, 20 targets each, $10 entrance: Montreal team— 
McDuff 18, Redman 15, Dumont 16, Landriault 16, N. Candlish 
16; total, 83. Sherbrooke team— Thompson 18, Craig 19, Bray 19, 
Goodhue 16, Foss 13; total, 85.

contests which were for twenty-one prizes, some of which were 
quite valuable:

Ashland Gun Club. 
Lexington, Ky., July 4.— That the Kentucky Trapshooters 
League made no mistake when they decided to accept the in- 
vitation of the Ashland Gun Club to hold the annual shoot for. 
the Blue Gras championship at targets was demonstrated yester- 
day, when the local club handled the shoot in a most satisfactory 
manner. The park had been put in almost perfect order, the 
traps worked splendidly, the dinner served free to the shooters 
and their friends was characteristic of Kentucky hospitality. For 
the first time in the history of target tournaments in Kentucky, 
the shooting began promptly on schedule time and the entire 
programme of 250 targets was finished before dark. 
There were twelve events on the programme, eight at 15 
. and four at 20 targets, $1.50 and $2 entrance, and a thirteenth^ at 
50 targets for the Blue Grass championship and a sterling 
silver loving cup to become the property of the winner. Anyone 
living in the counties in the Blue Grass Circuit and not manu- 
facturers' agents were eligible to competition m the champion- 
ship event; entrance, $2.50. 
The smoothness with which every event was shot was due 
largely to the efficient work of manager Robert R. Skinner, who 
has few equals and no superior in this line. The squads were 
handled with an ease unusual to a big tournament _ by the 
management, the traps being under the direct supervision of 
Mr Teff Harp, the office being attended to by Mr. John Gilbert, 
who officiated as cashier. Mr. G. T. Little tabulating the scores. 
Alessrs George Offutt and A. D. Skinner were referee and 
scorer at traps No. 1, while Messrs. K G. Pullian and George 
K. Graves filled these positions at the second section, or traps 
N Messrs. Howard Curry and Frank Van Deren, who are re- 
soectively president and vice-president of the club, had charge 
of the dinner and refreshments, and they fully sustained their 
reputation as exponents of genuine Kentucky hospitality. Mr. 
Wilson P. Strader mixed with the crowd and saw to it that 
everv guest of the club had no dull moments. 
In the championship event there were twenty-two entries. 
Messrs T H. Kemper and John Williams, of Mt. Sterling, and 
Air Woolfolk Henderson, of Lexington, tied with a score of 45. 
the , shoot-off at 25 targets, Mr. Kemper won with a score of 
ji, each of his opponents going out witn 22. Mr. Kemper thus 
for the second time won the championship of the Blue Grass, 
he winning it in 1903 at Mt. Sterling, Ky., with a score of 48. 
The beautiful cup, emblematic of the much-coveted honor, was 
given by the Ashland Gun Club, in whose behalf the secretary, 
Mr. George K. Graves, presented it with a neat little speech to 
Mr. Kemper, who gracefully received it and responded by tossing 
over not a few nice boquets to the hospitable reception and 
splendid management of the Ashland Gun Club, every visiting 
shooter applauding his remarks. 
The high professional average was won by Mr. Ralph 
Irimble, scoring 191 out of 200. High amateur average was won 
by Mr. T. H. Clay, Jr., of Austerlitz, Ky., with a score of 189 
out of 200, Mr. Woolfolk Henderson second. 
_ More than 8,000 targets were trapped during the day, which 
m itself speaks volumes for the capacity of the local club, its 
efficient management, as well as for the growing popularity of 
target shooting with Kentuckians.

Brunswick Gun Club. 
Brunswick, Me. — The Fourth of July tournament of the Bruns- 
wick Gun Club has gone into history as one of the most enjoyable 
ever held in Maine. It was run off over a set of five expert 
traps, known traps and unknown angles. Thirty-five names made 
the entry list, and twenty-one shot the entire programme. 
Much credit is due Mr. C. Whitmore, the president, for the 
pleasant manner in which the shoot was conducted. He had 
looked after the smallest details, and had everything, as the 
saying goes, "all smooth." Mr. E. B. Thompson helped the sec- 
retary in the office throughout the day, and as the trap boys and 
others came up for their pay at the close of the programme, 
Tommie was heard to say, "What do I get? It seems I ought 
to get as much as a trap boy." And he got it, but not in cash. 
Don't ask him about it. 
The trade was represented by Mr. E. B. .Thompson and Mr. 
T. Haze Keller. 
All were pleased to see the veteran of Wellington win high 
average. When Mr. Dickey holds another tournament you will 
see some Brunswick boys in attendance. 
The high wind knocked all high scores. Up would go a shooter 
on one event and break straight, on the next drop five or six. 
But all tried for a good time, regardless of scores. The Brunswick 
club wishes especially to thank Mr. Dickey and Air. Allison for 
attending, and trust that they can come again at some future 
time. 
The eleventh event was shot one man up, less than 80 per cent, 
at 16yds. rise, 80 to 87 at 19yds. rise, over 87 per cent., 22yds. 
Percentage taken from the preceding events. Dickey was the 
only one to grace the 22yd. mark, and in the high wind cuffed 
out 17. Very few had to go back to 19yds, even the primer 
class predominating at 16yds., and Johnnie Bell was in it. 
The purse in this event was $10.50. Scott, of Auburn, Me., got 
first with 23, which gave him $4; Darton, of Portland, and Bart- 
lett,' of Brookline, Mass., scored 22 each, and got $2.40 each. 
Bell, of Somerville, Mass., came third with 21 and got $1.60. 
O. R. Dickey got $7 for first high average for entire programme. 
Hunnewell, of Auburn, second high, with $5, and third high 
average was divided by Billy Darton, of Portland, and Harry 
Snow, of Auburn, $1.50 each. . . _ , 
On the Whitmore special, to members of Brunswick Club only,- 
Dunning got first money, $5; Foster came second and got $3; 
Wheeler third and got $2. . 
It was the aim of the Brunswick boys to give everybody a good 
time, and it is hoped they did.

Springfield, Mass,, Shooting Club. 
One of the largest practice shoots ever held by the Springfield 
Shooting Club took place on July 4. Some twenty-five 
different shooters took part in the competition, and some good 
scores were made, considering the hard south wind blowing, which 
caused the targets to fly erratically. 
The Somerville, Conn., Club sent up a delegation of shooters.

New Advertisements. 
The advertisement of Mullerite smokeless sporting powder, for 
sale by Messrs. Schoverling & Welles, will interest many a reader 
In 1899 the London Field reported the Mullerite powders as very 
clean in the barrels and not setting up corrosion; the velocities 
were higher than the Field's standard, yet the recoil and gas pres- 
sure in the barrel quite moderate, and the patterns "higher than 
any we have before obtained."
