[[Oct. i, 1904. 
bers of the El Paso, Tex., Gun Club, attended the shoot at Silver 
City. 
Twenty prominent men of Marion, Ind., have organized a gun 
club named Sterling. Some of them are good shots and will 
show up well at the traps. Harry McClellan is secretary. 
Waverly, la., Sept. 22.— The shoot held here yesterday was well 
attended. The scores were low. This will be best accounted for 
by the cloudy sky, a wind and a dark, deceiving background. 
Expert traps and bluerock targets were used, and the management 
was first class. Those in charge surely were made to feel the ap- 
preciation of those present. 
C. W. Budd and F. H. Lord, with 109 out of 120 were on an 
equality as to target busting. Robert Jackson came next with 
107, as high amateur.

Chicago, Sept. 24. — The appended scores were made to-day on 
the occasion of the first trophy shoot of the fourth series. Kamp 
won Class A trophy on 23, Dr. Skillman Class B on 13 and Dr. 
Reynolds Class C on 20. 
In the cup shoot, which followed, Thomas won Class A on 
21, Cook Class B on 16 and Dr. Reynolds Class C on 16. 
Owing to the threatening weather and the fact that very many 
of our regular shooters are now in pursuit of the elusive duck 
and the wily jacksnipe, our attendance was not up to where it 
should be, only ten members showing up for the occasion. An- 
other application for membership received to-day, making fifteen 
on the waiting list.

Cincinnati Gun Club. 
Cincinnati. — The attendance on Sept. 24 was not so large as 
usual, fifteen shooting in the cash prize event. The weather con- 
ditions were .bad — cloudy, poor light and strong wind from the 
right. Pohlar and Peters tied for first on 46. Tuttle finished 
second with 45. 
The last shoot in the Parker prize gun series will be shot on 
Oct. 1, and the shoot-off of ties will take place on the 7th. There 
will be ten men in the shoot-off, and their handicaps will be 
adjusted according to their per cent, in the series. 
In the cup race there are fifty-four entries. Peters, Gambell 
and Medico still lead with 24 each. >Jo scores were shot for the 
cup to-day. 
The shoot for the Phelhs trophy is off for the present. Supt. 
Gambell received notice from the Dayton Club that they could 
not shoot on Sept. 28, but would name an early date. 
Mr. F. Tuttle, of the Peters Cartridge Co., has just ventured 
from a trip to the Adirondacks, where he had some fine pickerel 
fishing. His trip did him good, judging by the way he broke 
them to-day. 
Tuttle and Peters shot a match at 25 targets each, against 
Keplinger, Myers and French. The latter team won by 47 to 35. 
Supt. Gambell met with quite a serious accident on the 22d. 
No bones were broken, for which he feels grateful, and considers 
he was in great luck; but he will be laid up for a week or two. 
Cash prize shoot, 50 targets, distance handicap: Pohlar (18) 46, 
Peters (18) 46, Tuttle (16) 45, Faran (21) 43, Williams (18) 42, 
Block (18) 41, Sycamore (19) 40, French (16) 40, Keplinger (16) 
35, Falk (18) 34, Jay Bee (17) 34, Pfieffer (16) 34, Ackley (16) 33, 
Lytle (16) 23, Meyers (16) 23. 
Notes. 
The Richmond, O., Gun Club held their tournament on Sept. 
20. The small attendance was a sad disappointment to the officers 
and members, only twelve shooters taking part. Carl Allgower is 
president and R. W. Lenox secretary. Both of these officers, 
aided by the members, have worked hard to make the club a 
success, but they have never been able to have a largely attended 
tournament. The club, while shooting as an organization, will 
give up their grounds and return their trap. Rolla O. Heikes was 
high with 185 out of 200. J. H. Jennings second with 184. S. 
Cushman third, 177. R. W. Lenox, the secretary, was in good 
company, and finished fourth, tying with R. L. Trimble and D. 
D. Gross on 172. . 
At the regular shoot of the Sandusky, O., Gun Club on Sept. 
17, F. Schnaitter,_ Jr., was high with 24 in contest in the scores 
for the Cedar Point cup, and leads in the aggregate score to-day 
with 157. 
The Hamilton, O., Gun Club held their fourteenth trophy shoot 
on Sept. 22. E. D. C, 44, was high, but he was not competing 
for the trophy. Stickels took it on 41. 
The Dayton, O., Gun Club will hold its second amateur monthly 
tournament on Oct. 14. There will be twelve events at 15 targets 
each. Six of them will be jack rabbits, $1.80 entrance; surplus 
divided, 50, 30, and 20 per cent. Six will be under the per- 
centage system, $1.50 entrance, three moneys, 50, 30 and 20 per 
cent. 
It was expected that a team of the Cincinnati Gun Club would 
visit Dayton on Sept. 21 and shoot a match for the Phellis trophy 
with the Dayton Gun Club. When a telegram was received Sept. 
24 announcing that the Queen City team would be unable to 
compete, a team of the Dayton Gun Club challenged the Buck- 
eye team to defend the cup and championship title. The match 
resulted in a victory for the challengers by a score of 237 to 219. 
The trophy is for six-man teams, at 50 targets per man. The 
scores were: Dayton team — Lindemuth 46, Raymond 44, Rike 42 
Bailey 38, Craig 37, Orth 30; total 237. Buckeye team— Heikes 
46, La Rue 40, Cord 39, Schwind 37, Curphey 30, Gerlaugh 27; 
total 219. 
Ed. Cain has so far recovered from his illness as to be able to 
visit the grounds on the 21st. His welcome from the shooters was 
a cordial one. 
Rolla Heikes attended the Evansville, Ind., tournament, leaving 
for that place on Sept. 22. 
Daniel Stoner, Dr. J. R. Wampler and his brother Moses, all 
pt Dayton, left on the 21st for the Dakotas and Minnesota on a 
hunting trip. 
Bellbrook, O., is the home of the Goosetown Gun Club. This 
club will join the State Trapshooters' League, and then chal- 
lenge the Dayton Gun Club for the coveted Phellis trophy. 
I he regular weekly shoot of the Rohrer's ' Island Gun Club was 
held Sept. 21. The medal shoot was won by Wm. Oldt, for the 
third time, after four shoot-offs. There were two two-man and 
two six-man team matches. 
Indianapolis Gun Club. 
Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 17.— Shooting at events of 25 targets 
each, scores were made as follows at the shoot of the Indianapolis 
Gun Club to-day. Practice events:,*. 
Coudersport Gun Club. 
Coudersport, Pa., Sept. 22.— Herewith find the scores of our 
two-day tournament, which took place here on Sept. 20 and 21. 
The attendance was small, owing to the bad weather. It rained 
hard the first day, and that kept lots of the shooters away. The 
second day was cold and windy, almost blowing a gale, which 
made the shooting very difficult. F. F. Mason, of Olean, N. Y., 
won high average both days, breaking 417 targets out of 500 shot 
at. Homer Elliott, of Wellsville, was second, with 394. With 
the weather conditions, Mr. Mason shot a very good race through- 
out the programme, as high winds made the targets very erratic. 
All present seemed to have a good time.

Independent — Allentown. 
Easton, Pa., Sept. 19.— The third and final match between the 
Independent Gun Club, of Easton, Pa., and the Allentown Rod 
and Gun Club, of Allentown, Pa., will be shot Oct. 1 at South 
Bethlehem, Pa., on the grounds lately completed by Mr. Acker, 
and situated within 30ft. of his hotel. As this match decides 
whether the Eastonians or the Allentonians are to be champions 
in this section, great interest is being taken in it, and no doubt 
a large crowd of interested trapshots will be present to see the 
outcome. _ r '. 
Edward F. Markley, Sec'y I. G. C. 
John W. Gates entertained a merry party at dinner at one of the 
best known of the road houses out beyond Saratoga Lake the 
other evening after the races. The liquid part of th? entertain- 
ment furnished was not wholly Apollinaris water, and some of the 
men were feeling in a rather tangled' condition when they left the 
table and started for home in the gray of the early morning. One 
of the lot was a horse owner with whom Mr. Gates is particularly 
intimate, and who would insist on trying to wear Gates's hat, 
which is three or four sizes too large for him. After the hat busi- 
ness was straightened out, Gates sang out to his friend: "I say, 
John, you will see two carriages out there at the door. Take the 
first one. The other isn't there. Good-night and good luck." —

Fall Travel South. 
The tide of travel is now southward bound. The Southern Rail- 
way, as usual, has its schedules so arranged as to give those 
going south, southwest, Mexico and California, a most delightful 
service. Through Pullmans are operated daily from New York, 
touching all of the prominent cities south and southwest. The 
Southern Railway operates its own dining car service on all 
through trains, which is of the highest' standard of excellence.

World's Fair Scenic Route. 
Because of its magnificent mountain, river and canon scenery, 
its famous battlefields, and points of interest, and because of its 
superior equipment and physical condition, providing all the com- 
forts and safeguards of twentieth century travel, the Chesapeake 
& Ohio is unquestionably the most attractive route between the 
Atlantic Seaboard and the Mississippi Valley. World's Fair and 
through tickets by this route allow stop-over at Virginia Hot 
Springs and Greenbrier White Sulphur, the two most fashionable 
and famous mountain resorts in the country. Solid trains Wash- 
ington to St. Louis, with New York connection via Pennsylvania 
Railroad. — Adv. 
Concerning Proctor's. 
One of the immediate results of the engagement of the new 
players for the Proctor stock companies at the Fifth Avenue 
Theatre has been a marked and notable elevation of the standard 
set for these productions. It has always been a part of the Proc- 
tor plan to give the best performance possible, and ever since the 
introduction of the stock companies the productions have equaled 
those of any stock company in the country. But with the engage- 
ment of Edwin Arden and other famous players as members of 
the company, it has been found possible to obtain plays from 
sources hitherto closed to all stock company managers, and 
m; ny manuscripts have been turned over to the Proctor direction 
which would not be entrusted to other companies. Mr. Arden 
and other newcomers are guarantees that the pieces will be 
given with the same care and finish as marked their original 
presentations, and dramatic offerings which are still desired for 
use by stars are loaned temporarily, since the assurance is given 
that the piece will not be cheapened. Some of the recent plays, 
such as "Soldiers of Fortune," Robert Edeson's most successful 
vehicle: "Captain Letterblair," Sothern's most happy offering; 
"The Cavalier," in which Julia Marlowe was seen only last 
season,, have set a new standard that will endure for some time 
to come. Mr. Arden is the first leading man with an established 
and growing Broadway reputation to enter a stock company in the 
regular season, and Mr. Arden was moved to take this step only 
through the exceptional opportunity it afforded him to appear 
in a round of established modern pieces at a Broadway theatre.

SMOKELESS. 
Gives Highest Velocities and Closest Patterns. 
Load for load with other powders, either bulk or dense, MuHerite will be found to give higher 
velocities and closer patterns. This is owing to its progressive combustion up the barrel, similar 
in action to black powder. Consequently there is no heavy chamber pressure with MuHerite. 
Owing to this advantage lighter loads of Hullerite can be used with superior results to heavier 
"loads of any other powders. Thefollowing loads are recommended: Field shooting — 2% drams, 
l-l%oz.; 3 drams, l^j-l%oz. Clay bird shooting— 38 grains, l%oz.; heary load for distance 
handicaps, 40 grains, l%oz. Duck or pigeon snooting — 3}i-S}i drams, l%oz.; special heavy 
loads, 44 grains, l%oz.
