Cincinnati Gun Club. 
May 27 was partly cloudy, with light breeze. The first con- 
test in the series for the Schuler prize had twenty-three entries. 
The same system of handicapping as that used in the Peters 
trophy will be used, except that it will be based on 92 instead 
of 90 per cent. This, it is thought, will give the poorer shots 
a better chance and make good shots hustle a little more. The 
average of the contestant in all the shoots he takes part in 
will be his final score. Targets in this contest will be thrown 
from No. 2 set of traps. The prize will be shot for once a 
week (on either Friday, Saturday or Sunday) for fifteen con- 
secutive weeks. 
Eaton headed the list to-day, with a straight 50, including his 
handicap. Barker was high man in actual breaks 47, with 
Randall a close second with 46. Maynard and Harig third 
with 45. 
At the meeting of the Board, Arthur Gambell was elected 
Superintendent. 
Extracts from the secretary's report shows the club to be in 
an excellent financial condition with a surplus over liabilities of 
$2,827.36, and a membershij) of 314.

Franklin O. Gun Club. 
The tournament of the Franklin, O., Gun Club was held on 
May 24 and 25, or was scheduled for those days. 
The weather on the first day was fine, and a nice little bunch 
of shooters was present and all but one shot the entire programme 
of 160 targets, Gross being high professional average with 147, 
and Cain high amateur, as well as high average for the day, 
with 149. 
The trade was represented by R. Trimble and D. D. Gross. 
The second day was stormy, and the programme was called 
off, a few of the men who were bound to shoot going to 
Middletown and breaking a few targets between the drops. The 
bad weather spoiled what promised to be a successful affair. 
The scores for the day were as follows:

Notes. 
The first shoot for the prize offered by G. W. Schuler, a hand- 
some gun cabinet, will be held on May 27, on the Cincinnati Gun 
Club grounds. The conditions are the same as in the Peters 
trophy event just closed, viz. : fifteen weekly shoots, 50 targets 
each, handicap of added targets. Scores may be shot on Fridays, 
Saturdays and Sundays of each week, as the shooter wishes. Ten 
events at least must be shot in order to qualify. Highest score 
takes the prize. 
Word has been received that Arthur Gambell, superintendent 
of the Cincinnati Gun Club, arrived safely at Queenstown, Ireland, 
on May 18. He will return in time to engineer things on the 
grounds July 4. 
Henry Joyce, of Dayton, has a fine game picture, showing 
fifteen deer, a black bear and two cubs killed in the Upper 
Michigan peninsula by three men in six days last winter. 
It rained hard on May 25, but a squad of the old reliables 
attended the Preble County Club shoot, Eaton, O., and managed 
to pull off the medal event and one sweep between the showers. 
The medal was won by Eli Peters with a score of 22. First 
money in the sweep went to Peters on a score of 20 straight. 
The medal was won in January and February by Joseph Asbey 
on scores of 25 and 24. In Alarch Joseph Dean, 21. April D. 
W. Swibart 23. 
At the Dayton, O., Gun Ckib shoot. May 24, Heikes and 
Oswald divided first in the sweep on 21 each out of 25; Rike, 
second, with 19, and Carr, third, with 18. 
Eleven men took part in the medal shoot of the Rohrer's 
Island Gun Club, of Dayton, O., on May 24. The medal was 
won by Wm. Kuntz, after shooting off a tie with Schaerf and 
Miller. In the first shoot-off Miller dropped out, and the third 
saw Scliaerf's finish. Following the medal shoot was an eight- 
man team race, C. F. Miller and Wm. Oldt choosing sides. - The 
former's team won by four targets, 163 to 159. 
Garfield Gun Club. 
Chicago, May 27. — The appended scores v>'ere made on our 
grounds to-day on the occasion of the sixth trophy shoot of the 
first series. Thomas and Goetter tied for Class A trophy on a 
score of 22; Keck won Class B on same score, and Horns won 
Class C on 17. 
■ Mr. Doris, a visitor, made the only perfect score in the event, 
going his 25 straight in fine style. 
The day was a good one for trapshooting, only for a northeast 
wind, which rendered it chilly. Owing to the counter attraction 
of the automobile races, and the opening of the fishing season, 
the attendance was not what it should be and generally is.

In Other Places. 
The Pasadena, Cal., Grin Club is now formulating plans to hold 
a championship tournament. 
Tliere will he a consolidation of the Janesville, Wis., Gun Club 
with Beloit, as stated last week. This club will remain at its old 
park and hold shoots monthly. There is, however, another club in 
same town, and it is to be heard from on the corjsoliditioij 
aphenje. 
The Bloomington, 111., Gun Club did not show up strong at the 
State shoot, in so^ far as shooters were concerned, but when it 
comes to packing a convention they were the whole thing, taking 
the wind out of Chicago's sails before the starting line had been 
crossed. 
Gideon won the Class A medal at the Bloomington, 111., shoot 
after a three-time tie with Radburn. 
Here is what makes a gun club a success. Secretary Boettger, 
of the McLean County Gun Club, Bloomington, 111., invited all 
the members to his house to play euchre on last Wednesday 
evening. Sociability should be introduced into every gun club. 
Mexico, Mo., has been heard from. There will be a tournament 
held there during the summer. The new officers are: G. F. 
T.olson, President; A. K. Luckie, Secretary; Fred A. Morris, 
Treasurer. 
Max Hensler, of Battle Creek, Mich., was re-elected president 
of the Michigan Trapshooters' League, and his brother, A. R. 
Eiensler re-elected secretary. Jackson gets the next meeting, 
and next year there will be only one shoot held instead of three, 
- as has been, the custom in the past. 
The Houghton, Mich., Gun Club will contest throughout the 
summer for a cup donated by a cartridge company. 
Chas. W. Budd when at Menominee, Mich., made the good score 
of 94 out of 100. Robert Kans, the home good one, made 91. 
The shooters who have Memphis in view as the proper place to 
attend a tournament, will be pleased to know that about June 20 
there will be held there the best tournament ever held in the Blufi 
city. Members of the three gun clubs are reported as being now 
actively training preparatory to taking part in the big tournament. 
The Memphis, Tenn., Gun Club held a shoot last Saturday 
with an attendance that wovild seem more like a tournament than 
a club affair. At 100 targets, Abe Frank broke 93. 
W. W. Wilson, Secretary of the Duluth Central Gun Club has 
secured three gold watches to be put up as prizes at their 
tournament. 
The West Duluth, Mich., Rod and Gun Club report that the 
new target trap is now being set up on the club preserve, and 
that weekly shooting will be held. 
The best scores made by the Parker Gun Club, Milwaukee, 
visitors were those of Messrs. Hirschy, Vietmeyer, Stannard, 
Budd and Steenberg. 
At the Recreation Gun Club, Cleveland, O., George Burns won' 
first prize after a tie with Rice, which called for 35 targets. 
Burns broke 143 out of 150. 
The Waterloo, la.. Gun Club, in consequence of having to give 
up their shooting grovmds, have held a meeting, and it was 
then voted to disband the organization and turn in their trap to 
the manufacturers. This, coming so soon after holding a suc- 
cessful tournament there, will be a surprise to all. 
The Aberdeen, S. D., Gun Club is now well under way. It is 
composed of local hunters, and many of them fine shots. With a 
little practice, they will be able to make a good showing. The 
officers are: President, Otto E. Muller; Vice-President, J. K. 
Hall; Secretary, Frank Suttle. 
The Cordele, Ga., Gim Club has been reorganized. W. C. 
Hamilton is President; J. M. Powell is Captain and Secretary. 
New grounds, readily reached, have been secured, and the large 
membership shows up well for the future prosperity. 
The Louisville, Ky., boys are much pleased with their new 
shooting park.

Class B with McLaren. 
J. A. Jackson, Sr., made the high score at the Taylor, Tex., 
shoot held last Saturday with 110 out of 125. J. B. Webb, of San

103; Rogers, of San Marcos, fourth, with 100. 
At the regular practice of the Fort Worth, Tex., Gun Club 
James S. Day made 163 out of 175. 
.Special from Monroe City, Ind., states that Add. Haldorman 
met with a frightful accident. He was shooting at crows when 
the gun burst and injured his arm and face. He may lose at 
least one eye. This should serve to establish the habit of always 
looking through the gun before inserting a shell. 
It should interest all trapshots to learn that Fred Gilbert is now 
using 2%in. shells, and shooting just as good as he ever did with 
2% shells. 
The next tourney of the Indiana State League will be held at 
the Limited Gun Club in Indianapolis. The officers elected are: 
H. Comstock, President; Tom Parry, Vice-President, and Gus 
Habich, Secretary. 
W. M. Furgerson will fit up a shooting ground at the Lake, 
near Crooksion, Minn., and all visitors will be made welcome. It 
is the intention to have Crookston, Grand Forks and other clubs 
participate, and have team competitions. This brings about a 
competitive spirit that does not find stimulation in individual 
contests. 
At Elgin, 111., last week the sportsmen held their annual crow 
hunt, and slaughtered 1,141 crows. One hundred and fifty men 
were out on the war path. If all shooters in the United States 
were to do likewise the game birds would increase 50 per cent.

Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, Mass., May 24.— The first shoot of the summer series 
of the Boston Gun Club was held to-day at Wellington, and 
while conditions ,were well nigh perfect, only a small number 
were present. 
Edwards and Hebbard fought it out for high average, with 
honors even, though it took some tall hustling on Edwards' last 
15 to land in the running. The goods were delivered, however, 
and it was lucky for the rest of the contingent that he left on 
an early train, as he had just begun his consecutive match, and 
had a good start to his credit. 
"Buffalo Smith" distanced the whole shooting match in the 
consecutive match, and started it moving with a run of 31 
straight, and might have been going yet if a sneaking left target 
had not got mixed up in the smoke of a far-away factory, which 
prevented the usual sky background from being in evidence. Roy 
and Hebbard, two of Watertown's finest, captured first honors 
with good totals, and if they keep this gait up, one or the other 
will wear the gold watch charm, which is the first prize for this 
series. Edwards with 26 held second position alone with two of 
the home club just one target away. Other scores:

Cumberland Gun Club. 
BRIDGETO^', N. J., May 22. — Herewith are the scores made at oixr 
third amateur tournament, held in this city on May 20. The scores 
while not high, were excellent considering the high wind that blew 
directly across the field, making the targets take very irregular 
flights. The trade was represented by Neaf Apgar and J. Mowell 
Hawkins.

No region along the coast is better known than Long Island, 
which time out of mind has been a land of fish and game plenty, 
and is still the favorite, as it is the nearest resort for the city 
angler or gunner who seeks a day or two of relief fropi the crush 
and crash and heat and dirt of the big city. It seems but a few 
years since the Long Island shores were sand wastes, rarely 
interrupted by lighthouses and life-s.aving stations; but now 
Sound and Ocean beach alike are fringed with beautiful homes 
and still more and more people are crowding in. The Long 
Island Railroad is the only railway line which covers the Island, 
and it strives to make the most of the unequalled advantages of 
the country that it controls. It understands that the fish and 
game furnish attractions that the sportsmen cannot resist, and it 
wants them to make trial of both. 
The Long Island R. R. offers its illustrated descriptive book 
free on application at the office, or to any one who will send 8 
cents for postage to the office of the company, 263 Fifth avenue,

How to Advertise. 
A Troy, N. Y., merchant who has just retired upon a large 
competency gives his successors in business this advice, and it 
is sound: "Advertising will bring trade, but only square, honest 
dealing will hold it. It is almost as hard to sell goods without 
advertising, as it is to catch fish without bait. Truthful adver- 
tising, linked with genuine bargains, is the most perfect- custom 
producer. Every statement made in your ads. should be carefully- 
weighed before "publishing." — Rutland, Vt., News.
