[Aug, 13, 1904. 
Consolidated Gun Club, 
Hartford, Conn.— The fifth tournament of the Consolidated 
Gun Clubs of Connecticut took place' at the grounds of the Colt 
Gun Club, Hartford, Aug. 4. 
There were fifteen events on the programme, all at bluerocks at 
unknown angles. Shooting began at 9 o'clock, and it was shortly 
after 6 P. M. that the last squad finished the thirteenth event. 
The men went to the score in squads of five, and while they 
were shooting a hard-working, leather-lunged squad hustler rustled 
up five more, so that shooting was practically continuous. 
The principal event was the team shoot, with six teams of five 
men entered. This came on about 3 o'clock, and was interesting 
to a large crowd in attendance. Rockville won, with Hartford 
second. The scores in this and other events are rather poor, due 
to the overcast sky and a dark background, which made the tar- 
gets hard to see distinctly. The scores follow: •

Rochester Rod and Son Club. 
Rochester, N. Y., Aug. 6.— On Wednesday next the Rochester 
Red "and Gun Club will start a series of handicap contests, Aug. 
10 to Nov. 16, for a handsome cup, which was donated by the 
Hunter Arms Company, of Fulton, N. Y. The handicaps are 
already arranged, and will be posted on the bulletin board of the 
club. The club has drawn up a new set of rules for the handicap, 
and they are as follows: 
Each contestant shoots at 25 single targets flat and will have 
handicap targets added to actual score. , 
Should a contestant with his added handicap score more than 
25 targets he can only count the score as 25. Ties must be shot 
off the same day, at same handicap. No back scores can be 
The" shooter having the highest score each Wednesday to score 
one point, and at the close of the contest, Nov. 16, the shooter 
having the greatest number of points to his credit shall be de- 
clared the winner. , :, j 
At least five members must compete on a regular Wednesday, 
or it will be declared no contest. 
Handicaps will be readjusted after each third contest. 
No entries accepted after 4 o'clock P. Mi 
The Sandusky, O., Gun Club held a tournament on Aug". 3 
which proved a very enjoyable affair. The club had as guests 
members of the Leamington, Ont., Gun Club and a number of 
well-known shooters from other places were present, among them 
being F. II. Snow, of Brooklyn, C; R. L. Trimble, J. L. Head, 
b. S. Saffold and J Wherry, of Cleveland, and F. H. Conover, 
.Leamington, thirty-six in all. 
1 he Leamington shooters were entertained at dinner and supper 
by the home club, and it was late in the evening, or very early 
in the morning, when they embarked on the steamer Louise to 
return home after their day's pleasure. 
The club's grounds are at Cedar Point. The targets are thrown 
against a water background, and many of the shooters were badly 
puzzled. 
F. H. Snow was high man with 134; he also had the distinction 
of shooting from 20yds. three times, as he made that number of 
straight scores. Head was second with 130, and Trimble third 
with 128. 
Thirteen shot through. Their scores follow:

Rohrer's Island Gun Club, Dayton, O., on Aug. 3. The weather 
was fine. In the handicap medal series twenty-three men entered 
and ten qualified. The winner, Carl Hanauer, is only seventeen 
years old. He surprised the crowd by his remarkable exhibition 
oi skill and endurance, shooting through fifteen shoot-offs and 
standing the strain like a veteran, defeating such shots as C. F. 
Miller, who missed but 2 targets out of 98 shot at, and who 
made a run of 77 straight. The medal event is at 25 targets, with 
a handicap of extra targets to shoot at; all breaking 25 or better

Rematkable Scores. 
Spirit Lake, la., Aug. 5. — Inclosed please find some scores made 
by Mr. Fred Gilbert on our grounds, July 30, 31 and Aug. 1 and 4. 
The targets were thrown 55yds., and the last day there was a good 
wind blowing. You will note that he has a run of 392 straight, 
which I believe is the best record ever made. 
I was with him while all the shooting was done, and I consider 
it the best shooting 1 ever witnessed, as during all this run he 
had only three birds that were not broken in good shape, and 
they were broken into three or four pieces:

Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., Aug. 0. — The Poughkeepsie" Gun Club's team 
came down to-day and did things to us. While only seven of the 
boys from up the river put in an appearance, and one of the con- 
ditions governing the silver punch bowl competition was that we 
should not shoot less than eight men, we waived this condition, as 
this was the second time the Poughkeepsie boys had. come short 
handed, and we know how hard it is sometimes to get together. 
Blandford, the captain of the Ossining team, threw the match 
down, more shame for him; he confesses it, and he couldn't help 
it 
Event No. 1 at 25 birds, was the team shoot. Those marked with 
asterisk were from Poughkeepsie team. Dr. Brandreth shot along.
