Magic City Gun Club. 
MuNCiE, Ind., May 5. — The annual spring tournament of the 
Magic City Gun Club of this place was held May 3. The oc- 
casion was favored with ideal weather conditions and fair patron- 
age, twenty-seven shooters in all taking part. W. D. Stannard 
was high gun among the trade represeni.atives, who were per- 
mitted to shoot for targets only. An aged dentist from In- 
dianapolis, who is trooping this season under the nom de 
plume of "Abe Martin," was high for the amateurs. Coming 
back to town in the evening Dr. O. F. Britton was heard to 
remark that Muncie was "a right nice place to come to a 
shoot." Edward Voris acted as pace-maker for the amateurs 
for the most of the day, but in the last two events he got to 
thinking of the days when he was bald-headed and he went to 
the bad, and Britton passed him. 
Have you seen Eddie this spring? He is superb — hence the 
Edward. It used to be just Ed. His think-tank is now adorned 
with the flowing locks and that old barren roof garden of yore 
is all with the past. He is one of the big chief charioteers in 
the game of Beia-Hur, the mayor of his city, and recently won 
from Farrell, of Muncie, the English Hotel Cup. And just when 
events were crowding with him, he side-steps the Bill Nye 
bunch and disdains the onyx top. Edward invites all to at- 
tend the annual meet of the Trapshooters' League at Crawfords- 
ville, Ind., and promises shooting conditions where only straights 
are made. It's in May. 
The new blackbird trap and traget were used, and they gave the 
very best of satisfaction, the breakage of targets being con- 
spiciuous by its absence. The scores follow:
