himself in Little Rock, Ark., and incidentally smashing a few tar- 
gets with the gun club. 
A gun club was organized last week at Alvin, Tex., and L. B. 
Carson was chosen president, with T. C. Edwards secretary. 
The last shoot held by the Billingham, Wash., Gun Club was 
well attended. There were over twenty-five members present. In 
a team shoot, the home team won over Vancouver, B. C, by just 
one target. 
The Mallory family were in it at the last Ohio Valley shoot. 
Roy won the handicap on a straight 26, while J. F. won high gen- 
eral average. - 
A Wisconsin enthusiast, calling attention to the various traveling 
men who will be in attendance at their tournament, says all the 
men mentioned can shoot for hours without missing a shot. 
An up-to-date gun club was started last week at Shelbyville, 
Tenn. The officers elected were: R. Sandusky, President; L. 
Pressgrove, Vice-President; Jas. C. Tine, Secretary. The min- 
isters of the town were all elected honorary members. 
Dr. Gropper, one of the best trapshots of Milwaukee, Wis., is 
laid up with a broken ankle, caused by a fall. 
The McLean County Rod and Gun Club, Bloomington, 111., held 
their weekly shoot last Tuesday. Many new members have been 
added and shooting will be on the increase in the vicinity of 
Bloomington. 
At the regular shoot at Owensboro, Ky., T. R. Morton won the 
medal for the second time. Rain spoiled the attendance. At 50 
targets, Morton, with a handicap, was straight. Brown 48, Lewis 
44, Renton 43. 
Last Friday afternoon, when the Adrian, Mich., boys were out 
T. Metakas shot at 50 targets, scored 4. He says that next time 
they will be all broken, as he will use a six-barrel shotgun. 
There will be something doing in the shooting world at Salt 
Lake. Drs. M. R. Stewart and J. M. Dart have started to or- 
ganize and push a gun club. All the first class appointments 
will be placed on the shooting grounds. 
During a shoot held last week at Great Bend, Kans., Mr. 
Paxton won the cup permanently, yet he very generously donated 
it to the club. These generous sportsmen are the ones who keep 
the game going. 
Jim Skelly stopped in Kansas City on his way to Denver, and 
he and Dr. Planck tied up in a 100-target race with 94. Other 
scores were: Stone 93, Leavel 90, Forest 88, D. Elliott 86, Erhart 
84, Vaugh 82. 
Paducah, Ky., Gun Club boys are getting busy on their fall 
shoot. There will be two shoots combined, that of the Kentucky 
State and the gun club. They will, however, be held on differ- 
ent days. There will be a new money plan adopted. 
When Elmer E. Shaner lands at Grand Forks, N. D., for the 
Interstate tournament he will find Hale, Cooper, Ferguson, Dreis, 
Wells, Parker, Seymour, all true blue sports. They are noted for 
cordial and generous entertainment of all who are guests of their 
gun club. 
Des Moines, la., has hopes of regaining its former prestige as a 
shooting center. It is just the place for the State tournament. 
Watch 'em next year. 
Way out in Aberdeen, S. D., the trapshots are not idle. A 
match between, said city and Bath showed Aberdeen two to the 
good. Several sweeos were shot on Saturday, with varying results. 
Tom Lang, Findl'ay, O.. crack shot, was a participant at the 
Cincinnati tournament held this week. Possibly he did not shoot 
a borrowed gun. ,. , , 
When the Crawfordsville, Ind., Club held their holiday shoot, 
the honor for high score went to A. Thomas, of Linden. 
Another old-time gun club has been resurrected. This time it 
is Huntsville, Mo. A merchandise shoot with some fifty prizes 
was held last week and proved a success. 
Warrenton, Mo., Gun Club shot a match last week with the 
St Charles Club and won by the small margin of two targets. 
A return match will be held at Warrenton m the near future. 
In the Southern States the Fourth of July is not celebrated with 
the same spirit that is shown by the Northern people; hence 
there is no interference on the general celebration line with the 
holding of tournaments. Hence it becomes a pleasant privilege to 
write up the successful shoot held at Memphis, Tenn., July 4. 
The attractions offered, such as $500 in cash and trophies galore, 
calls forth the Mississippi Valley shooters as well as a mingling 
with them of many of the traveling men. The sunshines warm 
in this part of the country, so that when Billy Crosby found that 
there was an umbrella offered for high average, he tried to win 
same, and in so doing put up the score of his life Shooting 
three days, 200 each day, score 195, 197 and 199. Then Chas. 
Spencer and Jack Fanning had a merry race for second, Jack 
landing by just one "little saucer." This was not accomplished 
with good weather conditions, as an unpleasant rainy clay was ex- 
perienced on the first day. Yet shooting did not stop for same. 
The two following days were fair ones, and the shooting was 
accordinglv gocd. The feature of the first day _ was the team 
shoot between Memphis and Shreveport, or a- picked five men 
from that locality. Shooting at 100 targets ^each, Memphis won 
easily with 19 to the good, thus. For Memphis: Frank 95, 
Postern 97, Brady 92, Joiner 83, Canale 85; total 452. Shreveport: 
Bosley 95, Skannal 92, Mercer 91, Bryan 84, Brazeale 71; total 43o. 
On the second day the Scimitor cup race and the last 500 ot the 
team race furnished excitement in plenty. Fletcher won a most 
sensational race after tying with Mercer, the Shreveport crack, on 
98 out of the 100. They both made 24 out of 25 m the first shoot- 
off but on the second Mercer fell to 22,. and the Birmingham 
great amateur carried away the cup- amid ; much excitement 
Hundreds of the townspeople came out to witness the results of 
the team race, and the unexpected happened as witn a starter 
of 19 to the good, the home team was badly beaten. All the 
Memohis team fell down, while the Lomsiamans held up regu- 
S Scores Shreveport-Bosley 92, Skannal 90. Mercer 89, 
Bryan 82, Brazeale 87; total 4.40. Memphis^Frank 89 Poston 89, 
Brady 79, Canale 77, Joiner 74; total 408. With, lovely warm 
weather, the last day was- ushered m, and the shooting was 
™nd Hieh amateur average fell to the steady shot, P. C. Ward, 
with a total of 560 to Fletcher's 557, Mercer 553, Frank 549; for 
each of which there was a prize. , , . . „ n , , 
Only twenty-five shooters faced the trap at the National Gun Club 
tournament when Lilly said. "All ready; let her go " and half of 
the™ were traveling men. The attendance should be a lesson to 
all who manage shoots, inasmuch as the selection of dates follow- 
ing immediately after another shoot, is the greatest mistake that 
"n he nr»d» In this case there had been two weeks previous 
shoe-ting "all" the surrounding States had held State shoots,, and

and the attractions 
did not draw the f

Tuxedo coats with them and go on dress parade each evening. Io 
tl,PSP let me suggest that there are boarding houses and hotels 
r olenty that make $1, $1.50 and $2. rates. You can shoot, 
enjoy the water, breathe the pure air, climb the mountains, just 
the same as though you put up at the French. Lick hostlery. No

view of putting all the amateurs on to the hotel accommodations, 
and surroundings so that there may be no hesitancy on part of: 
all who may desire to attend the Indian shoot, as the chances for

SIDE LIGHTS OF TRADE 
At the W. P. T. S, League tournament at Kane, Pa., July 6-7, 
Mr. Chas. Irwin, of Pittsburg, Pa., won the amateur average for 
the' two days, using a Winchester gun and shells. 
New Advertisements. 
The new automatic trap, for throwing artificial targets in nuro 
bers, just brought out by the Tribune Trap and Target Co., of 
Erie, Pa., has an active interest for every trapshooter in the land. 
The 'Tribune Trap throws targets at any and all angles ; throws 
targets fast, slow and at any elevation, and never clogs. From the 
cuts and descriptions that we have seen of it, it appears to be a 
marvel of mechanical skill. The booklet published by the com- 
pany is ready for distribution, and will be sent on at request. 
Pond's Extract has long been a household word, and is perhaps 
the most universally employed of any remedy in the United States. 
It is useful for all bruises and exterior hurts, and nothing takes 
out the soreness from over-exerted muscles quicker than . a good 
fibbing with Pond's Extract. This is an especially useful thing 
to know by men who, starting out in the shooting season with 
their muscles soft from disuse, work hard for several days, held 
up by the excitement of the sport, and then give out from over- 
exertion. 
BAKER GUNS SHOOT HARD 
and are SAFE. 
They are noted for this wherever known, and that is 
almost everywhere. Ask the man who owns one.
