Cincinnati Gun Club. 
A Lot of the boys visited the grounds on May 3 for the pur- 
pose of giving Arthur^ Gambell a good send off on his journey 
across the pond, and to express their regards and good wishes 
in various ways. It was a surprise to him to see so many on a 
Wednesday, and a still greater surprise when he was invited 
to be their guest at a farewell banquet served in the club house. 
Another surprise was when he was presented with a splendid 
diamond pin from many of his club friends. Messrs. D. D. 
Gross and H. N. Kirby presented him with a silk umbrella as a 
protection against the "Lun'on" fog, and a friend in Columbus 
remembered him with a box of neck wear. Among those who 
sat at table were: Judge Logan (Ackley), Messrs. Faran, Cole- 
man, Pfeiffer, Pohlar, Osterfield, Dick, Ahlers, Barker, Buller- 
dick and Ward. 
The afternoon was spent in team races, matches and a number 
of events at 20 and 25 targets each. 
Altogether it was a very enjoyable day, and the boys certainly 
gave Arthur a good send-off, and all wished him good luck and 
a pleasant voyage when they parted. 
Saturday, May 6, was not a pretty day. It rained heavily most 
of the forenoon, and continued cloudy and threatening until 
late in the afternoon. , In consequence few were at the grounds, 
only eight shooting in the Peters trophy. Faran and Block made 
full scores with their handicap. Faran shot like himself, and made 
high score in actual breaks, 49, something like his correct form. 
There are two more shoots for this trophy, and then the con- 
test for the handsome gun cabinet, donated by G. W. Schuler, 
will start. After, this is disposed of, Powell & Clements have 
promised a cup. 
Interest in the cup race has revived and five scores were sho^t, 
but Faran is still supreme. Williams 18yds., 23, 24, 22, 17; 
Hesser, 18yds., 19. Try again boys. The scores: 
Peters trophy shoot, 50 targets: Block, handicap, 6, total 50; 
Faran, 3, 50; Williams, 4, 48; Hesser, 2, 46; Maynard, 45; Herman, 
4, 44; Ahlers, 43; Andrews, 11, 42. 
Rohfer's Is and Gun Club. 
The regular handicap medal contest of the Rohrer's Island Gun 
Club, on May 3, was not attended quite as well as usual, several 
of the members being at the Springfield tournament. However, 
fourteen men were on hand and enjoyed a good day's sport. 
C. F. Miller and J. W. Gerlaugh qualified on scores of 27, and 
after three stoot-ofis, Miller won, making two wins to his credit 
so far. At the close of the series, thirty-two contests, four prizes 
will be awarded; $15 to the one winning the largest number of 
times; $10 to second; $5 to third; leather medal to fourth. 
Hamilton Gun Club, 
The regular weekly shoot of the Hamilton Gun Club was held 
at Lindenwald on May 4. The weather was ideal, and the scores 
the best that have yet been made. B. B. was high m the 
medal event with 48 out of 50; Parker second, with 47, and E. 
D. C. third, with 45. t,- j 
Club medal shoot, distance handicap, 50 targets: B. B. iOyds., 
total, 48; Parker, 16, 47; E. D. C, 18. 45; Smith, 16, 43; Stickles, 
16, 41; Link, 16, 41; Atherton, 16, 40; Breinig, 16, 31. 
Greenvilfe (O.) Gun Club. 
The fifth medal shoot of the Greenville Gun Club was held 
May 1, and fifteen members participated. A. W. Kirby won Class 
A medal to-day with 43, and Harry Hartzell Class B medal 
with 37. Kirby and Eidson tied for the medal on April 17, and 
the tie has not yet been shot off. Hereafter shoots will be held 
weekly instead of semi-weekly. 
Springfield (O.) Gun Club. 
The second annual tournament of the Springfield Gun Club was 
held on May 3 and 4, and Capt. Ben Downs is to be congratulated 
on the success which attended the affair. Eleven events at a 
total of 180 targets were shot each day, a goodly number of those 
present shooting through. 
The weather was good and every one had a good time. Among 
the visitors present were Messrs. W. R. Crosby, W. A. Watkins, 
Cain, E. Watkins, Lindemuth, Carr, of Dayton; Anderson and 
Smith, of Xenia. . . 
Crosby was high gun for the two days, missing but 7 targets 
out of 360. High everage money was divided among the follow- 
ing amateurs in order given: Lindemuth and Hill $10 each; 
E. Watkins, Cain, W. Watkins, R. Neer, Carr and Poole, $5 each. 
On the first day the attendance was good, twenty-seven shooters 
taking part in one or more of the events. Crosby was high gun 
with 174; W. A. Watkins was high amateur and next to Crosby 
with 169; Trimble and Good were third, with 165 each. 
On this day the match for the cup offered by the Peters 
Cartridge Co. and open to members of clubs in Champaign, 
Logan Clark, Miami and Shelby counties, was shot and was won 
by Jeff Karnehm, of St. Paris, O. This cup is to be shot for 
monthly. The match was not finished until 6:45 P. M., at which 
time it was storming and very dark, which accounts for some of 
the low scores:

Garfield Gun Club. 
Chicago, May 6. — The appended scores were made on our 
grounds to-day on the occasion of the third trophy shoot of the 
first series. L. Thomas won Class A trophy on the good score 
of 25 straight. Gould won B on 18, and Horns and Dr. Reynolds 
tied for Class C on 19. The day turned out to be a rather 
pleasant one for target shooting, although very threatening; m 
fact, raining all forenoon and up to almost 2 o'clock, as a re- 
sult' of wliich only eleven shooters put in appearance for the 
event. Those who did come were well repaid, however, as the 
day turned out very good.
