The Field, London, concerning "a lock-up cartridge bag" states 
as. follows: "The correspondence which took place in our col- 
umns last year on the subject of pilfering cartridges has evidently 
set some folks thinking, the desideratum being a bag which can 
be securely, yet unostentatiously fastened, enabling a shooter to 
control the removal of cartridges without hurting the feelings of 
others by too marked an intimation that such protection is need- 
ful." It is possible that, in that country, some shooter of play- 
ful moods, might take lock, bag and cartridges as a composite 
souvenir. ■ ,\ ...

We are informed that Mr. J. L. Head, of Peru, Ind., has been 
promoted from the position of shooting representative and occa- 
sional salesman for the U. M. C. Co., to that of salesman for the 
M. Hartley Co., of New York. He will sell U. M. C, Reming- 
ton and B. G. I. goods. This promotion withdraws Mr. Head from 
the professional ranks of shooters, and will leave a vacancy in 
professional, ranks difficult to fill. As a trapshooter Mr. Head 
was distinguished as a contestant of nerve and skill. He won 
the diamond badge, emblematic of the Indiana target champion- 
ship in 1897, the International Peters Cartridge trophy in 1898, at 
Detroit, and the Grand Central Handieap at live birds, Indian- 
apolis. In the past five years, he has held the Indiana live bird

Mr. W. T. Nash, since his resignation from the presidency of 
the Indianapolis Gun Club, an office which he filled with signal 
success and ability, arranged to leave for a long sojourn in north- 
western Idaho, on a big-game and trout fishing expedition. He 
and his party will probably enjoy the hunting and fishing there 
till Oct. 1. The trip has been planned during the past six 
months, and purposes to be strenuously active. The expedition 
goes first to Lewiston, Idaho; thence via Spokane, Wash., where 
they will start for the Bitter Root country. Besides Mr. Nash, 
the party consists of Mr. Albert Lieber, Mr. Richard Lieber, and 
these gentlemen will be joined at Lewiston by Mr. W F. Ketten- 
bach, president of the Lewiston National Bank. Dr. Pfafflin was 
to have been a member, but business intervened and prevented 
him doing so. Cooks and guides have been engaged, and fifty 
horses will be required to pack the equipage. The party will 
seek grouse, mountain trout, bear, mountain lion, deer elk and 
mountain sheep. They will be absent from railroad facilities dur- 
ing a month.

; Independent Gun Club.

matches to be shot by the Independent Gun Club and the Allen- 
town Rod and Gun Club was shot on our grounds, this city, on 
above date, the outcome of which was the Independent was the 
loser by 9 targets. Though our team was not successful in win- 
ning this match, still losing it with a score of 204 targets was no 
disgrace for a ten-man team, 25 targets per man. 
The next race will be shot at Allentown some time in September, 
at which time the Independent boys must come out the winners! 
The following are the scores:
