WESTERN TRAP. 
Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 6.— The Labor Day shoot, held here 
under the auspices of the Cumberland Park Driving Club, was 
considered to be the best and most successful heretofore held. 
The visitors were many, and all stayed in the game from start to 
finish, as the entrance was targets only. The prizes were so 
numerous that every one present had something to show when 
they reached home. 
The team trophy was the center of attraction, and as the 
Cumberland Club only won over the Franklin Club by one 
small target, one can imagine the high tension to which the 
members were brought, as the very last shot alone decided the 
race. The scores were 484 and 483 out of 600. Ewell Club made 
445 and Tracy City 420. 
Harris was high man, 112 out of 120; Campbell, 100. Harris 
made the longest run, viz., 45. 
Harold Money was present, and was shooting well as usual, 
and for same carried away a silver match box. 
The special prizes were won as follows: Silver loving cup for 
high gun and Winchester rifle for the long run, to W. G. Harris; 
a bronze clock to R. B. Campbell; a set of clothes brushes to 
W. I. Polk. 
C rgress of Central Illinois, 
Litchfield, 111., Sept. 9.— The fifth shoot for the series of the 
Congress of Central Illinois Trapshooters was held here Sept. G 
and 7. The weather was fine and the crowd fairly large, especially 
the first day. John Boa was high in the professional line, with 
Frank Rielil second. Crosby and Spencer were present one 
day and made things lively. 
In the amateur class, C. B. Wiggins was easily high, and in fact 
was high over all with 334 to his credit. Clay came second with 
325. Groves third, 320. This was the first time that Cummings, 
the secretary, was absent. He was called home on the first day. 
The grounds here are the admiration of all who see them, and 
there is one mere shoot yet to complete the year. This will 
come off Oct. 18 and 19. All are invited to come. It should be 
understood that the handicaps are not severe. The management 
here is the finest ever. Just come and see for yourself. The 
scores for the two days follow:

At Staunton. 
Staunton, 111., Sept. 8. — The holiday was spent, in so far as the 
gun club and their friends were concerned, in shooting at the trap 
Over twenty shot through the day, and all expressed gratification 
for the able management of the projectors, Messrs. Snell, Wall 
and Camp. The topmost "trigger puller" and straight gun- 
pointer was C. B. Wiggins, the well-known shooter and tourna- 
ment promoter from Homer, 111., who lost but 4 out of 180. John 
Boa was close after him. losing but 8. The traveling men were 
Messrs. Boa, Spencer, Hart Bronough and Leslie Standish, who 
filled the important position of cashier. Ihe scores:

At Stratford. 
Stratford, la., Sept. 7.— With cloudy weather, though very little 
wind, the day set for the shoot at Stratford, la., was ushered in. 
Hence good scores were made by the seven who took part. The 
score made by the old man, Budd, was especially fine, missing but 
3 out of 200, having one run of 99- The amateurs shot well, Hoon 
getting 188, Patterson 186 and Peterson 185. 
F. C. Whitney was present and assisted the management in the 
office. The busy season being on, together with the open game 
season, accounts for the small attendance.. 
The Story and Hamilton county medal was shot off and re- 
sulted in another win for Hoon, who this time made 50 straight, 
and Peterson, his contestant, was not far in the rear, with 47. 
At Owenstoro. 
Owensboro, Ky., Sept. 7. — Another Labor Day has passed, and 
with it has gone into history the most enjoyable shoot ever held 
by the local gun club. There was only one missionary present, 
Mr. Tom Cassity. 
The Rudd House challenge medal was the most interesting 
match, being at 50 targets. Mr. Overstreet scored 47, while Jim 
Lewis was pressing him very hard with 46. 
Mr. Overstreet was challenged 'on the spot, and the match was 
set for Sept. 16. 
In the course of the day's events Jim Lewis shot at 220 targets 
and broke 208, Overstreet 1S9, Newman 197 Herr 192, Griffin 190, 
Lancaster 180, Bennett 178, Moiton 175, Brown 172, Stout 172, 
Dawson 169, Tanner 174. Altogether, there were fifteen others 
who did not shoot through. 
The officers are proud of the many young, shooters, who will be 
well to the front, by next year. The shoots will be held regularly 
until Oct. 28, when the season will close with the annual shoot 
for the loving cup. 
Progressive Club. 
East St. Louis, 111., Sept. 6. — The last club trophy shoot of the 
old Progressive Club was held on Sunday. Only the high per 
cent, men were out, and they were out to win, and the excitement 
ran high. 
Huff was the best on this occasion, and he won out only after a 
miss-and-out shoot with Thos. Ruff and P. Baggerman. 
Ivan Raff was shooting a new gun, and was not at his best. 
W. H. Clay was the high per cent, man for the day and the 
season, also was high in the Peters trophy events. It was Huff 
who made the longest run — that of 40. 
This club has been- prosperous, and consistent in shooting, as in 
competition with other clubs of St. Louis, it has won the Peters 
trophy twelve times in succession. 
On Sept. 18 there will be an all-day tournament, which will 
probably close the season's shooting at the Progressive grounds. 
In Peoria. 
Peoria, 111., Sept. 5. — It will be of interest to note that on 
Sunday the members and friends of the old Peoria Gun Club met 
on the old grounds at the half-way place. Ida Harris came over 
and shot for the first time in many moons, and showed that idle- 
ness has not set him back any, as he lined out 48 out of 50, thus 
winning Class A trophy. George Hermann, of Bartonville, won 
Class B and the Peters medal with 43. 
In Other Places. 
The Recreation Gun Club, of Cleveland, O., announce a tour- 
nament to be held on their grounds, Oct. 28. 
Webb City, Mo., after a state of quietness, has come to life, 
reorganized the gun club, and has started on the tranquil life of 
trapshooting prosperity. 
At the Staunton, 111., Gun Club tournament, held Sept. 5, the 
high average was won by C. B. Wiggins, of Homer, 111., as in

W«h Mi, 
There was a shoot at Shickly, Neb., last week. The home team 
scored over Edger. Each had five men, 50 targets. The winner 
had only ten to the good. This is the second time Shickly has 
won. The first match Edger lost by the small margin of 4 targets. 
Another match will be shoot soon. 
Rollo Heikes stopped over at Canton, O., on his return trom 
the Michigan shoots, and proved that he is fast gaining his old 
time form, as he broke 172 out of 180. 
Sept. 15 a barge shoot, conducted by the Iceberg Gun Club, 
of Beardstown, 111., will be held. All who have heretofore at- 
tended these shoots are loud in their praise. . 
At Union, la., a tournament will be held on Sept. 20 and 21. 
The Springwood Gun Club, of London, Canada, celebrated Labor 
Day by holding a shoot. The Smith gold medal event was won 
by Glover on the shoot-off. McBith got first prize and Webb 
second. Scrantcn immediately challenged Glover, and the holder 
won again with a score of 17 to 14. In the silver spoon event 
Glover also won. 
The best shoot yet held by the Bridge City Gun Club, of 
Logansport, Ind., was that of Labor Day. There were twenty- 
three shooters present. 
Ed Voris, the well-known Indiana trapshot, took his seat as 
mayor of Crawfordsville on Sept. 5. He has held many cups and 
championships that have come through his unerring aim when 
contesting with the shotgun. 
There will be three more contests held by the Sandusky, O., 
Gun Club to decide the ownership of the Cedar Point trophy. At 
this writing Frank Schnaitler, Jr., leads with 113. The next man 
is Miller, 111; Valentine, 110; Deist, 109; Coutcher, 106. 
A very hotly contested team shoot was held at Taylor, 
Tex., Labor Day. The Austin Club finally landed well to the 
good, viz., 201 to 173. The prize was $50 cash. J. A. Jackson, of 
Austin, was the top man with 46. 
Harold Money did his stunt of labor on Labor Day at Shelby- 
ville, Tenn.,^ when he lined out 25 straight, while Tandy made 24. 
The Biloxi, Tex., Gun Club held a meeting on Sept. 2, to de- 
cide as to the best manner of contesting for the Hunter Arms 
Co. medal. Weekly shoots are being held and considerable in- 
terest is taken in trapshooting. 
The club at Aastad, Minn., held their final 1904 shoot Sept. 1, 
and will now turn their attention to game shooting. M. E. Ber- 
gerund won the silver cup on 43 out of 50. 
The San Diego Gun Club has accepted an invitation from the 
Los Angeles Club to participate in the seventeenth semi-annual 
target tournament, to be held Oct. 8 and 9. Latest reports say 
that at least enough will attend to qualify in the team race. 
Much interest is being awakened in the trapshooting line at 
El Paso, Tex. Many new and enthusiastic members have been 
added during this season, and they show by their presence at the 
weekly meets that they are not liable to drop it after a short trial. 
The officers at Fort Bliss, near El Paso, have taken up the shot- 
gun, and have organized a gun club. Last week several of the 
El Paso shotgun cranks were invited to lunch and shoot with 
them, and a royal time they enjoyed. Hubby was present and 
gave a fine exhibition, losing but 1 target out of 75. 
When you read of a club throwing targets 75yds. for practice 
or in tournaments, you can gamble that the attendance will drop 
off until there will not be more than two or thre,e left. Fast 
targets— that is, beyond 45yds.— has been the death of more clubs 
and has put more shooters out of the game than all other objec- 
tions combined. Shooters cannot break hard targets, and wilt 
not try. Remember that beginners should be encouraged, and 
they must shoot by themselves, and targets should not be thrown 
over 35 or 40yds. Try this, and double your membership. 
While shooting in the Northwestern States is practically at a 
standstill, there are many prospective ones in the Southwest, viz., 
Silver City will hold one Sept. 17 and 18; Tucson, Sept. 27 and 28; 
Albuquerque and San Angelo will both hold shoots in October, 
while Nov. 15 will usher in the big shoot at El Paso. 
T. E. Hubby has become somewhat enthusiastic over the propo- 
sition to hold an Interstate tournament during August of next 
year at Cloudcroft, Tex. 
At the last coming together of the Bay City, Mich., Gun Club 
Allan and Coe captured the medals. 
The Lebanon, Ind., Gun Club will hold an open tournament 
on Sept. 26. All the neighboring clubs will be represented. 
Crawfordsville, Ind., Gun Club, without the help of ■ Mayor 
Voris, easily defeated Lebanon in a match at Adney's Park on 
last Friday, with a score of 211 to 176. Wait until they meet 
Indianapolis on the G. A. H. ground, then see if they don't 
lower their colors. : 
The Granville, 111., shooters advertise a shoot to be held Sept. 
15, open only to the amateurs of Putnam, Marshall and Bureau

three events of the programme. 
A new gun club has been organized at Jacksonville, HI It 
sports the name of Nicholas Park, with James A. Groves Presi- 
dent, and T. H. Buckthorpe Secretary. The start is made with 
twenty-five members. 
Shimmer was .high man at the Clarksville, la., one-day tourna- 
ment held last week, breaking 173 out of 200. H. Steege and Lee 
Graham came next with 170. Shillady 154, Wygle 151, Brokaw 147 
Nichols 131. . The Clarksville club, with Slimmer at the head, is' 
well to the front this year as an up-to-date shooting center. 
You have heard of the seven Deweys at Fergus Falls as trap 
shots, well they are chicken slayers as well, and on Aug. 30 they 
shot their last club match for the season. Imagine six strong 
young farmers as they stride across a stubblefield, each armed 
with a Winchester pump, putting up a covey of prairie chickens and 
then the result— the end of the brood. At 50 targets Charley and 
John 48, Byron and Morris 47, Afton and Will 45 each. Some 
1,000 ducks and chickens will fall to their guns ere the snow 
falls. They live in the hunters' paradise. 
Later information has intimated that Elmer Shaner was looking 
over the shooting ground with a view of preparing a report as to 
the feasibility of holding the next G. A. H. on the Blue River 
It seems at this early date that Denver, Omaha, Kansas City and 
Indianapolis, all have bids in. On the previous showing made 
Indianapolis has them all "skinned a block," yet Chicago should 
not be overlooked. The location, the grounds and all things 
necessary are favorable to Chicago. Will the old Watson Park 
management get busy? 
The Ho-On-Ke Rod and Gun Club are interested in rifle shoot- 
ing as well as shotgun, as there are many opportunities for cap- 
turing deer where this club is situated, in the copper country near 
Houghton, Mich. 
The first basket dinner of the Corner Rod and Gun Club, of Fort 
Wayne, Ind., was a grand success. The amusements were plenty

now thoroughly organized rod and gun club. 
The gun clubs at Fairview, Spirit Mount, Meckling and Nor- 
way, S. D., are engaged in a contest for a fine shotgun donated

received, the scheme will materialize. 
At the Kalamazoo, Mich., shoot, Sept. 1, C. A. Young was high 
man with 195 out of 200, and Pop Heikes was next with 191 
■£°i'cn 0i St 10 ' , W3S hlgh amateur > 187, and Kit Shepardson next 
with 186. the shoot was not continued on the second day for 
lack of patronage. 
i-7 S il ver City N. M., Gun Club wish it understood that on Sept 
17 there will be a tournament held by their members '

secretary, had charge of the office at the Clarksville, la., tourna- 
ment. '

Mr. Gilberts Brilliant Shooth g. 
A. correspondent writes us as follows: 
c Af t« Mr - Fl "ed Gilbert's wonderful record of 392 straight at 
Spirit Lake, la. the last of July and the first of August in the 
making of which he used odds and ends of shells he had at his 
home in that town, many of the shells having been on hand for 
il °f y £ ar / ; and after his great shooting at the Indian 
♦ ^ at We v ? a c en S P, r,ngs ' Ind - and his win of first average 
at the New York State shoot at Buffalo, he has just completed a 
trip through New England, remarkable equally for the extent of 
territory covered and for the scores which he made 
Leaving Buffalo on Aug. 20, he spent Sunday in Pit'tsfield, Mass 
On the following day he commenced a series of exhibition and 
tournament shoots lasting for a period of fifteen days, during 
which time he shot on eleven different days, in five different 
States, on eleven different grounds, and with eleven different 
aggregations of shooters, scoring a total of 1.819 out of 1,885 shot 
at, or an average of 96i/ 2 per cent., some of the targets being shot 
at from 21 and 22yd. mark. 5 ■ 
Below are the places visited and the scores made in detail: 
^ Ug - H* &" s A eld ' Mass --148 out of 150, with 23-25 from 22yds.

Sept. 5, Springfield, Mass.— 184 out of 200. 
Totals 1,819 out of 1,885. Average, 96 1 /. per cent 
That a man is not a machine is plainly" shown by Mr. Gilbert's 
or him, falling off on the last day The strain he had been under 
for two weeks told on him, and his score undoubtedly suffered 
immediately prior to taking part in the Springfield shoot the 
meals and res Mr Gilbert had "enjoyed" were, to use his own 
words, three lunches and a sit-up in a day coach." 
Easton — Allentown. 
Easton Pa., Sept. 10.— The second of the series of three team 
matches between the Independent Gun Club, of Easton Pa and 
the Allentown Rod and Gun Club, of Allentown, Pa ' was' shot 
on above date on the grounds of the latter club with the following 
results. Each man shot at 25. 
Easton team— Francotte 19, H. Housman 18. T. Pleiss 22 W

Desch 21, M. Desch 16, A. Pleil 19; total 177 ^ n S lert lb, W.. 
From the above scores it can be seen that the Independent 
Club team were the winners. This now makes each team having 
one match to their credit, and the deciding match will no douht 
be shot the latter part of this month on neutral grounds so tha£ 
each team will be on the same footing, and neither team has 
any advantage over the other. 
The Independent team have thus far beaten all comers in these, 
matches, and if this coming match is won by them thev will 
stand at the head as a team for this section of the Sta'te
