FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Nov. 12, 1904. it 
And so the shooting progressed to the end, Hall being the cen- 
tral figure, and ran out straight, a most meritorious performance, 
making the recoid for an amateur at 33yds. He was hotly pursued 
by Crosby, who lost but one, and he in turn by Powers, Money 
and Ed. O'Brein, with 48. Wade made a good finish, losing but 
one in last 26, and made 47, being tied with Garrett, whose 48th 
was barely dead out. 
When you consider the limited number of opportunities during 
the past year, and that this is the first part of the season for 
live-bird shooting, the scores are extra good. Ed. O'Brein and 
Tom Hall were best up in form, having had the proper "work- 
outs." O'Brein's 2 were hard hit dead outs. There were only 
six moneys, high guns, and the 47 men took down $36.20. Hall 
won $217.35 and a $100 trophy; Crosby, $185.15; Powers, Money 
and O'Brein, $110 each; Wade and Garrett, $36.20 each. The

Amateuf Championship. 
During the afternoon the pigeon traps were kept busy with 
individual matches, as there are several cups yet on competi- 
tion in the west to interest the live-bird shooters. 
First contest, that of the Mermod-Ja&card amateur champion- 
ship cup, held by G. T. Hall, of Loami. 111. Harlow B. Spencer 
was the challenger, and a pretty race it was. Hall was picked 
to win on form shown, and when Spencer lost his seventh and 
fifteenth, with Hall straight, it surely looked that way. But 
the unexpected happened. Hall lost three of the next ten, 
and at the. end of twenty-five was one behind. Both 
tightened up and ran out the next string. Spencer lost two 
and Hall one that was chased out by the boy, making a tie on 
46. The tie was at once shot off on 15 birds, Hall going straight 
to Spencer's one "dead out." 
Hall won this cup at the State shoot here last May. He has 
now defended it twice, beating Joe O'Niel and Harlow Spencer. 
Hall is ready for all comers, but wishes it understood that the 
next match must be shot at his home town. 
Individual Amateur Championship. 
The second race was that of the Bob Elliott individual ama- 
teur championship cup. Conditions, 50 live birds, challenger to 
post $25. This is shot under the Elliott handicap system, starting 
at 30yds. and going back a yard each time a 5-straight is made. 
At the end of the fifteenth round Powers was on 33yds., where 
he remained to the end, and with a loss of the last bird, still he 
made 48 to Clayton's 46. The scores of both races follow: 
Individual match; 50 live birds; Mermod Jaccard amateur 
championship cup: -

Fourth Day, Nov. 4. 
The third day target shooting was limited to the usual 100 
rounds, magautrap, as before, on its good behavior. There 
were sixteen straight 20s and many 19s. Marshall ran first 60 
and C. Spencer first 80, both landing in the 97 hole; Riehl, 96; 
Crosby, 95. 
Thus a very pleasant three days was spent with the live-bird 
shooters, most of whom came to see the fair and will remain 
a few days. The scores, 100 targets, $10 entrance: 
Peters 77, Garrett 94, Riehl 96, Powers 91, Marshall 97, Crosby 
95, E. Spencer 97, Boyd 64, Murphy 76, H. Spencer 97, Money 92, 
O'Niel 80, Wade *91, Duncan 79, Cornelius 50. 
Garfield Gun Club. 
Chicago, 111., Nov. 5.— The appended scores were made on 
our grounds to-day, on the occasion of the 28th and last shoot 
of the season. In the trophy shoot Kick won Class A on 24. 
No Class B man was present, and Horns won Class C on 18. 
After the trophy shoot, Dr. Meek and T. W. Eaton captained 
two teams and formed by choosing sides. Three matches were 
shot, and Dr. Meek's team won all three. The day was only 
a ' fairly good one for target shooting, being too cold for com- 
fort, many of the shooters wearing their overcoats while at 
score; conditions anything but conducive to good work. At- 
tendance was poor, only fourteen shooters showing up for the 
occasion.

Cincinnati Gun Club. 
The weather on Nov. 5 was rather cool and cloudy in the morn- 
ing, but cleared up later in the day. No one could get up 
courage enough to enter the cup race and tackle Faran's score 
of a straight 25. L. Ahlers, after a long absence, finished near the 
top, as usual. Maynard and Harig tied for first in the cash prize 
shoot with 42 each. Then came Ahlers 41, Gambell and Don 
Minto not shooting from their handicap distance, were third on 
40 each. Ackley, who has been quite sick since his return from 
Duck Island, was able to be at office a few moments to-day, and 
we hope to soon see him at the club. John Falk was absent, a 
most unusual thing, and it was learned that he was on the sick 
list. . • .' , '

Other Shoots In Ohio 
Thirteen shooters attended the regular monthly shoot of the 
Here He Goes Gun Club, Cincinnati, Oct. 30. High gun went 
to H. Osterfeld, who broke 46 out of 50. J. Story was a close 
second with 45. 
On Nov. 3 the Tipp Gun Club shot a ten-man team match, with 
Kohrer's Island Gun Club, on the home grounds at Tippecanoe 
City, O. The Tipp boys tried their best to make things as 
pleasant for their visitors as possible, and to make the shoot as 
enjoyable as have been their visits to Rohrer's Island during the 
past season. The match was the concluding one in a series, each 
club having won one match. The Tipp boys were victorious by 
a score of 436 to 426. H. Oswald, of Rohrer's, made high indi- 
vidual score, with 50 straight. F. Nunlist, of Tipp, was second 
with 48. The Tipp boys took the lead in the first round, with 
290 to 216 and increased it in the second with 216 to 210. Scores: 
"Tipp te'am-E. Thompson 47, A. Ryan 37, C. Brown 46, C.

Nine members of the Greenville, O., Gun Club on Oct. 31 held 
a Hallowe'en shoot which was enjoyed by all, as the day was a 
fine one. McKeon was high gun with 65 out of 75. Le Roy 
second with 66, and McCaughey third with 63. 
The Welfare Gun Club, of Dayton, had an interesting time at 
their medal shoot on Oct. 29, although the attendance was much 
smaller than usual. The weather was fine. The medal was won 
by Harig. 
The features of the shoot of the Indianola Gun Club, Columbus, 
O., on Oct. 29, were the fine weather and hot contest. The de- 
fender of the Wolfe trophy never made such a close fight in the 
history of the trophy, as was put up to-day by Webster. Smith, 
his opponent, shot a 90 per cent, clip, but was not in it,- as was 
evident from the start. Webster was in fine form, and shot better 
than his most enthusiastic friends expected. At the end of the 
first round he led by 3, and gained 2 more in the second round, 
finishing with 50 straight to J. H. Smith's 45. He is ready to de- 
fend the trophy at any time against all comers. There were two 
badge events at 25 targets each. In the first, Buchanan, J. H. 
and H. E. Smith and Darby tied on 24. In the first shoot-off at 
10 targets, Darby fell out, breaking 8, while the others went 
straight. In the second, J. H. Smith only broke 8; the others 10 
each straight. In the third, Buchanan went straight 10, and H. 
E. Smith 7, making the former only 1 miss out of 55 targets, and 
giving him the badge. In the second badge event, Dr. Wilcox, 
Webster and Harrison tied on 23 each, and in the shoot-off at 10 
targets, the latter won with 9 out of 10 and took the badge. 
The Dayton, O., Gun Club held the closing contest in the sum- 
mer series for the club medal and championship on Oct. 29. The 
day was fine. Rike and La Rue tied in the medal race on 28, 
and in the shoot-off Rike won, breaking 9 out of 12 to La Rue's 
8 out of 14. Scores: Craig (28) 23, Buckeye (30) 26, Brandenburg 
(25) 22, Carr (35) 24, Arthur (35) 22, Stover (35) 24, Woodman (35) 
18, Watkins (28) 21, Cord (30) 26. Several sweeps were shot in 
addition to the medal event. Rike broke 86 out of 100, Craig (75) 
64, Buckeye (75) 60, Brandenberg (75) 56, La Rue (75) 50, Arthur 
(25) 17, Watson (25) 14, Atkin (50) 26, Carr (75) 45, Woodman (75)

The last regular shoot of the Advance Gun Club, Dayton, O., 
was held on Oct. 29. Eleven members took part in the main event 
at 50 targets. The day was a fine one. John Kuhlander headed 
the list with 47. Wm. Oldt second with 46. Wm. Luneke third 
with 43. Al Holzen fourth with 41.

Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 2.— At the third last shoot for the
