This first week of the new year has been a busy one at the club 
grounds, and almost every day has seen many shooters present.. 
The reason for this was the presence in the city of the traveling 
representatives of the Peters Cartridge Co., who put in all their 
spare time smashing targets, a sport with which most of them 
are familiar. On the first day the weather was ideal for out-door 
sport, and twenty-four shooters visited the grounds, and some 
good scores were made, Hightower breaking 72 out of 75, Storr 
84 out of his first 100, Keller 82. The scores follow:

On Jan. 4 there were twenty-six shooters present, most of them 
being Peters men, and the sport consisted of, a team- match with 
thirteen men on a side, the captains being H. N. Kirby and Neaf 
Apgar. Each man shot at 50 targets, and Kirby's team won with 
a score of 524 to 481. Storr, Reid and Gambell tied for high in- 
dividual score on 46. Kirby was second high with 45. On Ap- 
gar's team Hardy was high man with 44. D. Elliott second with 
43, and C. A. Young third with 42. The day was pleasant," tut 
quite cold, and the spectators were glad to view the sport 
through the ckib house windows.

Annual Reunion. 
The Peters Cartridge Co. held its annual reunion of repre- 
sentatives this week, and on Friday, Jan. 6, entertained them 
at the gun club grounds. Among those present were the follow- 
ing: Maurice Kaufman, L. J. Wade, J. P. Flournoy, Jr., Wal- 
lace R. Miller, David Elliott, J. W. Osborne, J. W. Hightower, 
Louis T. Spinks, W. W. Porter, Paul R. Litzke, B. O. Seymour, 
H. W. Cadwallader, L. H. Reid, F. B. Chamberlain, Geo. E. 
Bartlett, A. H. tlardy, Frank L. Carter, John T. Rowntree, L. M. 
Knouse, Mr. Wishon, Chas. G. Grubb, Wm. M. Locke, Joe C. 
Garland, Gilbert M. Wheeler, Geo. R. Benjamin, E. H. Storr, H. 
B. Lemcke, T. PI. Keller, Jr., Neaf Apgar, H. N. Kirby, Jas. E. 
Reid, A. C. Thoms, Chas. A. Young. 
A number of the club members were also on hand, among thejm 
Barker, Don Minto. Pohlar, Block and Williams. 
The day was chilly and cloudy, and the ground covered with 
snow, but there was no wind and the light was good, so that the 
shooting conditions were excellent, and some good work was 
done. 
Several preliminary events were shot, the team match be- 
tween, sides chosen by H. N. Kirby and Dave Elliott being 
started at 12 o'clock, and lasting until 3 o'clock. Twenty-five 
hundred targets were thrown, an average of 14 targets a minute- 
not a bad record. 
The dinner, a la Gambell, was served at 1 o'clock, and, as 
usual, was a success. 
Mr. and Mrs. Stone and Mr. Meek, of the Wizard of Oz Com- 
pany, were present as guests of Mr. Gambell. Mr. Stone takes, 
the part of the Scarecrow, and if he acts the character as well as 
he shoots, it's all right. Mr. Meek enjoys the sport, but is a 
new hand at the game. Charlie Young was hit in the eye by 
a piece of lead from a rifle bullet, when Capt. Bartlett was shoot- 
ing at iron washers, and was quite seriously injured. 
The fancy shooting was witnessed by a large crowd, and the 
skill of the performers well applauded. 
Capt. Bartlett opened the show with a short descriptive talk on 
the goods manufactured by the company, and then gave an exhi- 
bition of rifle shooting, making many difficult shots. He was 
foilowed by Frank Carter, who did some pretty stunts with a .22 
rifle. Capt. Hardy ended the exhibition, doing some very fine 
shooting with shotgun and .22 rifle. He also displayed great skill 
in the use of the revolver, and wound up by making the letters 
P. C. Co. and an Indian's head on cards, using a .22 rifle instead 
of a pencil. Preliminary events: 
Apgar shot at 50, broke 45; J. E. Reid 50, 41; George 50, 42;

Saturday, Jan. 7, the regular club shooting day, was cold and 
windy, and snow fell thickly nearly all day. The attendance was 
hot up to expectations, a number of the Peters boys would have 
been out if it had been pleasant, but the weather kept them away. 
Two 50-target races were shot. Cadwallader and Randall tied for 
high gun in the first on 46, and Randall took high gun in 
the second on 45. 
The club will hold its banquet on Jan. 26. H. M. Norris is 
chairman of the committee. 
Gambsll has returned from his Southern trip in good shape. 
Had a fine time, good shooting and sport generally; but - he 
doesn't like Osterfeldt's way of looking after the commissary 
department. Col. West. H. Osterfeld and E. Barker have been 
appointed a committee to select members of the touTnament 
committee. Supt. Gambell's son Lutie has been sick the past 
week, but is improving. C. W. Phellis was at the grounds on 
Friday. He left for home on the 6th, and will be at the Detroit 
tournament in February. The day's scores follow: 
First 50 target race: Cadwallader 46, Randall 46, Don Minto 45, 
Gambell 42, Kirby 42, Harig 41, Peters 39, Trimble 38, Dennison 
38, Williams 36, Falk 32, Maynard 31, Liztke 26. 
Second 50-target race, 16yds.: Randall 45, Cadwallader 43, Wil- 
liams 42, Harig 42, Kirby 41, Gambell 87, Peters 36, Maynard 28, 
Lytle 26. 
Greenville (O.) Gun Club. 
The annual meeting of the Greenville, O., Gun Club was held 
on Dec. 30. The election of officers resulted as follows: President, 
B. G. Eidson; Vice-President, M. W. Westerfield; Secretary, H. 
A. McCaughey; Treasurer, E. R. Fouts; Captain, W. F. Baker. 
The club decided to hold a spring tournament on May 9 and 10, 
for amateurs, open to all, manufacturers' agents and professionals 
to shoot for targets only. The usual summer contest will begin 
in March and close in August. This will be run on similar lines 
to' the one of last year, which created so much interest among the 
members. 
The club is in a better condition in every respect than it has 
ever been. They have good grounds, shooting shed, store house 
and a commodious club house. There are two sets of traps and 
trap houses; one arranged for distance handicap shooting. The 
financial condition is satisfactory, over $100 in the treasury and 
no debts. - ■ 
Dayton (O.) Gun Club. 
The Dayton Gun Club will hold its first annual meeting at the 
Phillips Plouse on the 12th. After the reports of various com- 
mittees have been read, officers will be elected, and then a banquet 
will be served, at which County Recorder John L. Theobald will 
be toastmaster. The committee in charge consists of O. M. Bailey, 
C. H. Cord and J. A. Kirby. 
Whiting (Ind.) Gun Club. 
Whiting, Ind., Jan. 3.— There is now and then some live-bird 
shooting in the State of Indiana, and when it comes to an up-to.- 
date gun club with an eye to business, such as holding a holiday 
shoot that would draw the Chicago shooters, then you will find 
the Whiting club, with that "eye." 
Jan. 2 being the legal holiday, there were some twenty-four 
guns in the rack at the shoot held under the above-mentioned 
management at the Wolf Lake club house. Everything was found 
to be in readiness, with birds and traps in order. 
The weather was very bad, and none but a pigeon shooter would 
venture out. The management only erred in their judgment of 
the weather, and did not provide enough birds, as the programme 
was not completed through lack of same. 
The v/ind blew strong, and the snow drifted furiously directly 
across the traps, and it was almost an impossibility to get a bird 
down in bounds. Mr. Young shot very well for a "young" man, 
and lost btit one out of the nine events, though in the first event 
he was well to the bad. He also went straight in the next event, 
as did Deal and Jones. Mr. Deal got in late, but yet made the 
equal score to that of Mr. Young, viz., 10 straight. 
After two birds had been shot on the next event, the supply 
gave out, and the target trap was put into use. It threw targets 
fast and high, so that the scores will look poor in print. 
In the first event Willard got 14, and was high; in the second 
it was Vietmeyer who led the gang with a straight, which was 
"going some," as other good shots got about half of them. It 
■ was too cold and windy to continue the shoot, and it was de- 
clared off at about 3 P. M. 
The attendance was good. Lem Willard, L. Kumpfer, Geo. Eck, 
J. S. Young, John Eck," M. J.' Sanderson, L. D. Bolton, M. J.'
