Mrs. Davis, from Paducah, Ky., were present.

In Other Places. 
Oct. 19 and 20 will be held the Grand county fair at Deer 
Creek, Okla. During that time the gun club will hold a tourna- 
ment. The announcement is made by T. J. Hartment, president, 
that there will be plenty of added money. All lovers of the 
trapshooters' sport are kindly invited to lend their assistance. 
One of the prizes at the Jackson, Miss., tournament was a 
good violin. T. W. Hemingway won it. Yet there came no 
limit as to whether he could "draw a bow" long or short. 
Watch for the 1905 Jackson, Miss., tournament, with $500 added 
money. 
The Urbana, O., Gun Club took "a crack" at the Silver Lake 
Club, and took the trophy and high gun money. The Urbana 
men were John Muzzy, Ross Poysell, Will Holding, Scott Cush- 
tnan and Ed. Holding. 
There was a shoot held on Sunday last at Hazelhurst, Wis., at 
which Jesse Sipes won the championship with 97. Richard Hover 
came near with 95. 
The Rolling Forks, Miss., shooters are getting a mortgage on 
the Pastel Milling Co., trophy. C. W. Walton and C. W. 
Clements are sure "getting there." Then D. D. Farr will have 
to be considered. 
Max Witz, of Fort Wayne, Ind., and Hugh Clark, of Wabash, 
the champions of Indiana, shot another 50 live bird match on Oct. 
2, and again made a tie, each getting 45 out of 50. The tie re- 
mains unsettled, as the weather would not permit a shoot-off. 
The Hermitage Gun Club, of Nashville, Tenn., on Monday last 
defeated the Cumberland Club for the Peters trophy with 453 
to 430 out of 500. The next shoot will be with the Franklin Club. 
Ab. Newman captures the medal from Jim Lewis, and yet Lewis 
won the high average for the day at the all-day shoot of the 
Owensboro, Ky., Gun Club, held last Saturday. Scores: Newman 
45, Overstreet 44, Lewis 42, Bennett 38, Morton 36. Lewis won 
the Hunter Arms Co. medal. 
The season of 1904 was closed by the Traverse City, Mich., Gun 
Club on Saturday last, and the boys kept on shooting until the 
moon was up. Charles A. Carver will now have the medal in his 
possession until the spring opens up. The last squad shot after 
dark, and made the score, viz.: Darrows 18, Davis 12, Murrell 15,' 
Desmond 18, Norton 6, Miller 12. So 'tis good-by to trap and 
targets until the sun shines bright in 1905. 
The Le Mars, la., Gun Club held the last shoot for this fall 
on Thursday. A team shoot was held in which H. N. Kern won 
with 125 to Adamson's team with 122. 
We now chronicle the reorganization of the Leroy, 111., Gun 
Club. There appears to be enthusiasm, and a tournament will be 
held soon. That part of Illinois, having Peoria for a center, will 
hold tournaments during the winter. 
Wm II. Heer won the high average for both days at the 
Atchmson, L'ans., tournament. It was good for sore eyes to see 
"Airy" Lou Ehihait run a tournament. 
Some inside' information comes from Emporia, Kans., that the 
women have organized a gun club, and will get in practice, so 
that house-breakers will not be safe in that part of the city where 
any of the members dwell. 
At Fulton, Mo., a gun club was organized among the deaf. It 
will be known as the Kingdom. The members are W. M. Adcock, 
J. H. Atkinson, E. M. Bolton, Dr. H. A. Bragg, W. B. Harris, 
Prof. N. B. McKee, R. A. Moore, B. F. Payne, J. W. Ratikin 
and E. F. Tucker. 
Chicago, 111., Oct. 8.— The last shoot held by the Grand Crossing 
Gun Club was well attended. The old Watson Park, where the 
shoots are now held, echoed as of old with the merry pop of the 
shotgun. 
Jackson, Miss., Oct. 1.— The first shoot given by the Capital 
City Gun Club was held here the last day of September and was 
an innovation to the members. The shooters from clubs in all 
the nearby cities turned out, and they were sorry that there were 
not two days instead of one. Those well versed in the tournament 
business consider this shoot remarkable, as there were but few 
days' notice given. The new club is composed of sportsmen. 
They put up $100 all through their own efforts, and without the 
assistance of the citizens of Jackson. The trade representatives 
gave much assistance. The well-known Col. Tom A. Divine, of 
Memphis, and Maurice Kauffman, of New Orleans, we're a great 
pair. The scores as given herewith are considered so good that 
the makers thereof feel that no other set of men can duplicate 
them. The contest for the Pastel cup was an exciting one. It 
has been won on very high scores, and this was no exception, as 
Mr. W. H. Clements won out on 59 out of 60. The club is now 
on the way to success, and just watch all the other clubs next 
year and see if Jackson don't give as fine a shoot as any in the 
South. 
Bloomfield, Neb., Sept. 30.— The much-advertised shoot with a 
large number of prizes came off here during the past two days, 
and the management are at a loss to know why the shooters did 
not come and stay the whole two days. Of course, the shoot was 
hindered the second day by wind. 
H. G. Taylor, of Meckling, S. D., was high man, and his score 
for the second day is hard to beat, losing but 4 out of 160. The 
home man, F. H. Graham, of Bloomfield, was not busy the last 
day with the management, and he lost but 10 the last day. 
Loup, Neb., Oct. 1.— During a two days' shoot here, in which 
350 targets were thrown, old Dan Bray, the veteran, shone 
out brilliantly. Only a few shot the entire programme through. 
Some of the old-timers were here, viz.: Sievers, of Grand Island; 
Dick Linderman, of Lincoln; Geo. Waddington, of Beatrice; Gus 
Schroeder, of Columbus. The Sock boys were in evidence, and 
while they tied on the handicap, yet Waddington went them two 
better and won out. 
Peoria, 111., Oct. 3.— The regular shoot of the Twin City Gun 
Club was held Sunday. Owing to the expected rainfall, the at- 
tendance was not large. The Peters trophy and the regular medal 
were pulled off. The dark sky caused scores to be low. A. C. 
Conner and H. Baker, of Pekin, had a tilt for Class A, which 
Conner won, with 45 to 43. Class B was won by Geo. W. Her- 
man, with 35. H. H. Martin got 34. There were several visitors 
present. The Peters medal brought out a prolonged shoot-off be- 
tween Conner and Baker, the same being postponed owing to 
darkness. 
Cincinnati Gun Club. 
Cincinnati.— The tie in the Parker prize gun contest was shot 
off on Oct. 7. Hie ten who were in it were on hand, except 
Herman, who is still in Minnesota, hunting. The weather was al- 
most ideal. The conditions could not have been bettered. Messrs. 
Gambell, Van Ness (Don Minto) and Barker, acted as a handi- 
capping committee to the entire satisfaction of all. The event 
had been well advertised, and the result was a large attendance of 
club members and friends of the shooters, who thoroughly en- 
joyed the excellent exhibition of skill and endurance given by 
the contestants fend warmly congratulated the winner. 
The first squad went to the score at 2:20, and the match was 
over at 4:20. Seventeen hundred targets were thrown in the two 
hours. In the first 100 four men dropped out, failing to make a 
straight score with the help of their extra targets. This was not 
the fault of the handicap, but was due to the fact that none of 
them shot up to their average gait. One dropped out in the 
second shoot-off at 50 targets, the handicaps being split in two, 
leaving four still in the tie. Pohlar, after an exhibition of steadi- 
ness of which he has a right to feel proud, dropped out in the 
fourth shoot-off. In this the handicaps had again been reduced to 
half the previous number of targets. The three who were still 
left in the game faced the traps for what proved to be the last 
time, and Harig won with the fine score of 48 breaks, a total of 
277 out of the 300 shot at. Randall broke 276 in all, and Norris 
248. Norris is especially deserving of commendation for the great 
improvement he showed. His best score in the series of contests 
was 77. It was a toss-up between Randall and Harig to the very 
last. Harig gave a great display of nerve in the fourth tie, when 
he needed the last 20 to "keep in," and he smashed them all in 
expert style. Randall also gave a fine exhibition in this round, 
missing his last target and scoring 49. 
The race was unquestionably the most hotly contested and the 
best which has been shot on these grounds by club members.

The attendance on Oct. 8 was not up to tne mark, only nrteen 
taking part in the cash prize event. The day was warm and cloudy, 
and the light was rather poor, but some rather good scores were 
made. 
Four scores were shot in the cup race: Medico 21, 16; Barker 
20, Faran 25. He is now king, and his name adorns the bulletin 
board. There are sixty-five entries for the cup.

Notes. 
The Cleveland Gun Club has been presented with a handsome 
sterling silver cup by the Bowler & Burdick Co., to be known 
as the Cleveland Trapshooters' Handicap trophy. Ten contests 
at 50 targets must be shot to decide the winner. The shooters 
will be divided into classes, so that all will be on as nearly an 
equal fooling as possible. The first contest was shot at the 
grounds in jVlayfield road, Oct. 8. 
The members ol the Rohrer's Island Gun Club, of Dayton, had 
a pretty day for their medal shoot on Oct. 5, and there was a 
good atui.'c'ance of shooters. Harry Engle won the contest after 
shooting off a tie with Lockwood and P. Hanauer, both of whom 
qualified with scores of 25 or better. This is his third win, and 
he stands a good chance of catching up with the leaders. Joseph 
Hohm, the oldest member of the club, did some good wjrk, 
breaking 47 out of 50. After the medal race, two team matches 
were shot, Mi'l.'er and Hanauer captains. 
Judge John Roehm, a Dayton shooter, has been duck hunting 
at St. Mary's Reservoir, and in addition to the ducks, he killed a 
fine cormorant, which he will have mounted. 
The Dayton Sharpshooters are preparing to erect a house on 
their range at Dayton Gun Club's grounds. J. Charles Hahne 
has drawn the floor plans. 
Judge Marcus Shoup and John W. Eichelberger have returned 
from their hunting trip to New Brunswick, bringing home two 
fine moose heads, the antlers measuring 51 and 53 inches respec- 
tively. The animals were shot by Judge Shoup and Byron Sted- 
man. Stedman and Ed. G. Sander, who started with the party, 
are still in the woods. 
Adam Schantz and Wm. H. Orth will go to Mississippi, deer 
hunting. 
Louis Groneweg and a party of friends have gone to Maine 
for a month's big-game hunting. 
D. J. Holan, who has served as deputy game warden for over 
two years, has resigned his position. 
The Portage County Gun Club held a two-day tournament at 
Kent, O., on Oct. 4 and 5, which was well attended. On the 
first day twelve events, at a total of 140 targets, were shot, high 
gun going to Fisher on a score of 129. Charlie Young and Rolla 
Heikes tied for second on 128. Snow was third with 127. Thir- 
teen events at a total of 150 targets were run off on the second 
day. High gun for the day went to Snow with 138. Brady 
second with 136. Fisher third with 135. Young, Heikes and 
Trimble tied for fourth on 132 each. High average for the two 
days was won by Snow with 265. Fisher second with 264. Young, 
Heikes and Brady third with 260 each. Trimble fourth with 255.
