Dr. J. W. Meek, Sec'y- 
At Streator. 
Streatoe 111 May 5.— The shoot held here on May 3 by the 
StaubL brothers was^ not well attended; probably it came when 
the weather was too fine, as the farmers cannot keep from planting 
corn when the thermometer registers 80. The sun shone hot and 
the wind was strong, which made targets hard to gauge. Ihe 
accommodrtions were first-class. New traps had been provided, 
and there was nothing lacking save the crowd average 
Mr. Steenberg was there and made the high expert average. 
Tramn Irwin was also present. , 
Tl^^shoTters came from Ottawa, and were the we 1-known mem- 
bers of the Rainmakers Club, Messrs. Kneussel,. Sherzer Gentle- 
man °and BossLin. They did n°t -rive until m the aftern^^^^^ 
a<i their automob le gave out on them, and they had to transier 
fo the electr°c cars. But when they finally reached the grounds, 
they got busy with the scatter gun. Scores: 
Event No. 9 was shot at 7 pairs and one single.
