WESTERN TRAP. 
Jacksonville, 111., Nov. 24.— The second shoot of the season 
for the Jacksonville club was held Tuesday and Wednesday, 
with good weather conditions, especially the first day. 
About thirty shooters were present, all being much delighted 
with their entertainment. This club has the use of the Nichols 
Park grounds, and they are fine, although "a bit" far from the 
street car line. The club's officers are made of the correct stuff, 
and they are workers. 
There are attractions for shooters elsewhere, at this time of the 
year. Besides game shooting, many of the trapshooters are too 
busy for recreation at the traps with harvesting their fall crops. 
Everything in connection with the shoot was run to the best 
that possibly could have been thought of in any way con- 
nected with a tournament. No disputing the referee; no cor- 
recting the score cards. Leslie Standish was in the office, and 
that kept going smoothly. Targets were sent a distance of 45yds. 
The handicap was not severe. There were Hall, Harris, Groves, 
Ed. Scott and Z. Scott at the 17 peg; all the others, including 
the professionals, at 16yds. On the second day Harris and Hall 
were sent a yard back, and there the wind caused a lot of 
trouble. 
Ike Harris beat out all the amateurs the first day, with the 
very good score of 189. Tom Hall, J. C. Ramsey and T. C. 
Stoner all finished second. J. L. Scott came next with 184. Then 
one "Dad" Gilbert came on with 90 per cent. Now this was 
extremelv pleasing to all present, even to Vietmeyer. 
Frank Riehl was at the top with 196. Cadwallader came on with 
188, then Lord 183, and Keck, the one-armed man, 178. The 
latter made 91 out of first 100. Tom Hall's score the second day 
was very good, when with the strong wind and at 18yds., he made 
184. This won him high average over all for the two days, with 
Groves and Stoner second. The high men for the first day 
fell away, and yet Riehl won high expert average with 368. 
Cadwallader 367 and Fred Lord 366. The three were as near 
even as could be and not to tie. Each shot a different shell. It 
was unfortunate that the wind sprung up the second day. 
Those present were: Hugh Snell, Litchfield, 111.; Tom Hall, 
Loami, 111.; J- C. Harris, Fairbury, 111.; J. C. Ramsey, Manito, 
111.; T. C. Stoner, Mt. Zion; W. M. Gilbert, Philadelphia, 111.; 
J. L. Alderson, Chapin, 111.; J. P. Bunch, Chapin, 111.; H. Engle- 
brecht, Chapin; Wm. Morris, Merritt, 111.; then J. A. Groves, 
J Z Scott, C. S. Magill, H. C. Goebel, Simon Fernande, H. M. 
Seymour, Ed. Scott, O. C. Henry, John Vienna, J. O. Vassellar, 
Geo A. Wisner, G. T. Perry, W. L. Leach, Wm. Craig, S. B. 
Stewart, J. W. Horney, of Jacksonville, 111.; H. W. Cadwallader, 
Decatur; C. T. Keck, Chicago; H. V. Vietmeyer, Chicago; Fred 
Lord, La Grange, 111.; Frank Riehl, Alton, 111., and Leslie

At Chattanooga. 
Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. 20.— The weather was bad on the day 
set for the October shoot for the Smith trophy, hence the Novem- 
ber meeting was the occasion for two shoots. 
There was a change in the conditions from 30 singles, use of 
both barrels to 15 singles and 10 pairs. The weather was of the 
very best, and that assisted in the making of two record scores. 
In the October shoot, Plummer made 23 out of 25, and all 
thought that it would stand for many moons; but when the 
November shoot had closed it was no good as "Tony" O'Con- 
nell got very busy, and with "nary a goose egg," set a pattern of a 
perfect score. Though this was Tony's first win, it makes all the 
members worry to think of their slim chances to take the trophy 
at the future shoots. 
The scores for October: Plummer 23, Webb 21, Thomasson 19, 
O'Connell 18, Roy 16, Burk 16, Chicester 16, Moore 14, Hutchins 
and Morrison did not finish. 
November contest: O'Connell 25, Plummer 22, Webb 20, Burks 
19, Roy 19, Moore 17, Morrison 16, Hutchins 13. 
At Milford. 
Milford, 111., Nov. 19.— The gun club here held a tournament 
Friday which was fairly well attended. This club has good, live 
officers, viz.: Tom Blessing, President and Bert Smith Secretary. 
The grounds used are situated, conveniently to the business center 
of the town. The trap works well, hence it is a pleasure to meet 
with the club and participate in a tournament. 
Leslie Standish was present and took charge of the office. The 
expert shooters were Fred Lord and C. T. Keck, the one-armed 
man. Fred Lord made the high score, 118 out of 140, followed by 
Miller and McKinnis with 117 each. The scores:

A One Arm Challenge. 
Lincoln, Neb. — It will be news to some shooters to learn that 
George W. Maxwell, of Hollstein, Neb., the good target shot, 
has but one arm. He met with an accident while shooting quail 
and lost one arm. He did not give up shooting, and by reference 
to scores made at the late shoot at his home town it will be 
noticed that he tied "Bill" Heer the first day, and came near 
doing the trick the second. 
One-arm shooters are not common, hence the novelty of the 
thing has set some of the Nebraska trapshooters to thinking, and 
they have decided to issue a challenge for Mr. Maxwell, and will 
back him against any one-armed man the world over. The con- 
ditions, 100 targets, the money purse, anything reasonable. While 
no names are given, a letter to George Carter, of Lincoln, or 
Wm. Townsend, of Omaha, will meet with a response. 
Cincinnati Gun Club. 
Cincinnati, O.— The attendance on Nov. 26 was much better than 
on the previous Saturday, thirteen taking part in the practice 
events. The principal event to-day was a 100-target sweepstake 
with five entries. Ahlers made the fine score of 92. The day was 
cloudy and cold, with a strong wind, which affected the flight of 
the targets and made the shooting difficult. 
The boys were sorry to learn that the genial Del Gross has 
been sick for over a week, and confined to his bed. All wish him 
a speedy recovery. Scores: 
Sweep, 100 targets, $1 entrance, two moneys, 60 and 40 per cent. : 
Ahlers 92, Squier 84, Faran 79, Peters 79, Gambell 71 
In spite of the weather, a good deal of practice shooting was 
indulged in, and some good work was done. Gambell shot at 90, 
broke" 70; Squier 140, 102; Ahlers 105, 90; Block 150, 100; Williams 
120, 86; Maynard 140, 114; Peters. 115, 84; Faran 70, 59; Turtle 180, 
103; Hesser 220, 152; Pfieffer 95, 72; Barker 20, 15; Don Minto 
20, 13. 
It has been some time since as large a crowd as attended the 
shoot on Nov. 24 has been present at the grounds. The day was 
cloudy and cold, and a strong wind, which blew most of the after- 
neon, made the shooting difficult. 
Maynard, who has just returned from his Illinois trip, reported 
having had a good time, and very fair sport on quail. Colonel, 
who has been away for many months, took part , in the sport. 
Barker was high man. for the day with 136. Squier second, 135, 
and Ahlers (hird, 132. 
The programme consisted of ten 15-target events, $1 entrance, 
purse divided 50, 30 and 20; fourth man, a turkey; fifth, a Bur- 
mister Hotel ticket, and sixth a dressed duck. All ties for the 
money divided; ties for the prizes were shot off in next event. 
In the first event, Tuttle won a turkey. Second event: Dick, 
turkey; Tuttle, ticket; Gambell, duck. Third event: Medico a 
turkey. Fourth event: Faran, turkey; Dick, ticket. Fifth event: 
Peters, turkey; Grau, ticket; Hesser duck. Sixth event: Faran 
turkey; Tuttle, ticket. Seventh event: Faran, turkey; Williams, 
ticket; Harig, duck. Eighth event: Ahlers, turkey; Tuttle, ticket; 
Grau, duck. Ninth event: Hesser, turkey; Tuttle, ticket; Peters, 
duck. Tenth event: Williams, turkey; Hesser, ticket; Dick, duck.

Ohio Notes. 
The shoot held by the Welfare Gun Club, of Dayton, on Nov. 19, 
was a record-breaker in point of attendance, a large number of 
spectators being present, and thirty men taking part in the various 
events. The Rohrer's Island and Dayton gun clubs were well 
represented. 
Harry Oswald has issued the following challenge to Dayton 
shooters: "I hereby challenge any club member in this city, 
Mr. Spangler preferred, manufacturers' agents barred, to shoot a 
match at 100 targets each, $100 a side, or any part of it; 50 
targets each to be shot on the Rohrer's Island Gun Club grounds 
and 50 targets each to be shot on the N. C. R. Gun Club grounds. 
Each party to select a judge and the two judges to select one 
referee. Interstate Association rules to govern. 
While L. G. and J. W. Sherlock, of Dayton, were quail hunting, 
they flushed a bevy of twelve albino quail. They succeeded in 
killing four of the white birds, which they will have mounted. 
Charles Urban and party spent three days in Brown county 
and brought back sixty-seven rabbits and fifty-six quail. 
Jesse Pursell, of Piqua, with four friends from Pittsburg, spent a 
few days at Lewistown reservoir and bagged seventy quail, forty 
rabbits and one wild goose. 
Mad River territory has proved barren this season. Dr. Wm. 
M. Duckwall, of Dayton, hunted there for two days and never 
saw a bird. 
F. W. Brown and John R. Brown, Dayton, who are hunting 
near Dunbar, Wis., write that the former killed his first deer on 
the run at a distance of 200yds. 
Ed. A. Deem, one of the best-known sportsmen of Dayton, is 
at Richmondale, Ross county, with a party of Washington C. H. 
friends. 
Annie Oakley will spend a week hunting quail around her 
mother's home at North Star, Darke county. 
Carl Hambreck, of Dayton, and T. C. Angel and Joseph Machir, 
of Butler township, are at Gallon, La., for a month's hunting. 
Joseph Cheney, Fred Ernst and Howard Saxby, of Mechanics- 
burg, will spend two weeks in the mountains of West Virginia, 
in a section where big game as well as pheasants, quail and wild 
turkeys are plentiful. 
Messrs! II. E. Talbot, E. F. Piatt and Geo. Mead have just 
returned from a hunting trip in the Ontario forests. The party 
brought home three fine bucks, the largest one being killed by 
Mead. 
Mr. D. Norrod, of Doiestown, New Brunswick, has been the 
guest of Col. Frank T. Huffman, Dr. D. W. Greene and Mr. 
John S. Mclntire. Mr. Norrod has been their guide for many 
years on their hunting trips in the Canadian forests. He is sixty 
years old, but still hale and hearty, and as active as many a man 
who is years younger. He is a thorough woodsman and perfectly 
familiar with the localities in which deer and moose abound. He 
comes from the Minamiky country, which is the section almost 
invariably visited by hunters from Dayton and vicinity, and has 
a large acquaintance among the sportsmen. 
Chas. W. Sander and John J. Stoecklin have gone to Wheeler, 
Miss., for quail hunting. Their headquarters will be about fifty 
miles from a railroad, in a section where wild turkeys and other 
game are abundant. They took with them Frank Piatt's Irish 
setter Pat, S. A. Thomas' pointer Pride, and Dr. Scherbenzuber's 
pointer Joe, three good ones. 
The Gazabo Hunting Club, of Hamilton, drove over to Laurel, 
Ind., in thejr six-horse wagon for a couple of weeks' hunting. The 
party was composed of C. A. Strobel, P. E. Schwab, Max Her-
