this shoot ended the first series for the Oltih Itophifes, which was 
shot under the added bird system. Mr. W,. R. Baket woh the 
first prize, a handsome loving tliili ptes'efited to the chib hy the 
Peters Cartridge Com'p'afiy. Mr. Baker is a new member com- 
paratively, but one of the best field shots ift the Oity, a famous 
turkey nufttet from old Vitgiiita, ,cind ,a Ifehaet at trap work. He 
soored in actual breaks oht of 250, 194, and received 25 added 
s> which gave hirn a total Of 219. 
Dr. Wm. C. BaiT, wnb Vi'on the second prizes — the Hunter Arms 
^hinpany 'me'dal, whi£h was carried .over from last year — scored 
I9g tar^ts^ a&tt deceived 22 added birds, which gave him a total of 
217. Dr. Ba?r shoots a Parker ejector, and although he is not old 
at.Thr §:&me, makes all of the boys hustle. 
Miles Taylor won the third prize, an Upthegrpve trapshoo'ter’s 
jacket. He scored 198 targets and received 18 added birds, which 
gave him a total of 216. 
_ Dr. Taylor and his "pump*’ stofe'd 187, and his added birds 
increased his score to 214. 
Mr. Wilhite scored 183 aft'd received 29 added birds, making his 
total 212. He . disposed of n is gun and shot “any old gun” he 
copld borrow the las! feVn Oontests, and if it had not been for this 
perhaps thrre_ woW'd have been a different story to tell. 
^ Dr. Wolfe. i| bile of our new shooters, and if he had got off 
right in the initial contest, he would no doubt have landed among 
the wifttifers. He only scored 6 birds out of his first 25, and this 
napdiCapped him. As it was, he finished with 139 breaks, and his 
lidded birds gave him a total of 206. 
The added bird system was adopted with the expectation that it 
would equalize the shooters and bring out a large attendance, 
especially of the beginners. Only six took part in all of the con- 
tests. It is very evident, however, that had all the members par- 
ticipated, almost all of them would have made a good showing. 
The club adopted 88 per cent, as a basis. The club contests were 
fit 25 birds each week — 250 for the series. If a shooter scored 
22 targets, he received no added birds; but if he scored 21, he 
received 1 bird in the next shoot; 20, 2 birds; 19, 3 birjis; 18, 4 
birds; 17, 6 birds, and so on. 
The next series will be shot' under the sliding handicap system, 
and the members will be divided into three classes— A, B and C. 
The winner in each class will go back one yard for every time 
the trophy is won.

July 5. — The Analostan Gun Club held an all-day shoot on their 
grounds, near this city • on the .Fourth of July. The morning 
hours were taken up with practice events. .The afternoon was 
given up to sweepstake shooting. The programme consisted of 
eight events, comprising 140 targets. Some of the members 
claimed that the targets were easy, but the scores, especially of 
the veterans at the game, do not bear out the assertion. Mr. J. 
B. Brown, won high average for the day, and John Coleman and 
Miles Taylor tied for second average. Following are the scores:

Bloomington 
Tournament, 
Bloomington, 111., July 4. — All who were in any way interested 
in the success of the tournament scheduled for this day were dis- 
appointed. They saw the dark clouds and watched the rain 
descend. It lasted nearly throughout the day. 
The club had expected a large crowd, it being a holiday; but 
in that they were disappointed. Many of their own members had 
cares that kept them at their business places. The traveling men 
turned out all o.k. They came during the night or the day pre- 
vious. They were John Boa, Frank Riehl, W. H. Cadwallader, 
Tramp Irwin and Ward Burton. Chan. Powers came also and 
shot through, rain or shine.- I think this will prove to all clubs 
that July 4 is the poorest day that can be selected for a tourna- 
ment. 
Frank Riehl shot extra well. It was his day. He likes stormy 
weather. His score of 95 per cent, is great. 
Powers lost 25, and still was easily high. 
The Bloomington club is well fixed for giving a shoot, and 
their club events are well patronized by the members. The 
grounds will be enlarged and fitted up well for the State shoot 
that is set for here for next year. The hotel accommodations are 
very fine. The scores:

those who did attend had a very pleasant time, and enjoyed 
themselves. 
Saturday, July 8 the club will start a series of five shoots of 60 
targets each for a silver loving cup, presented by the Laflin & 
Rand Powder Co. The boys are all taking great interest in these 
shoots, so we expect some exciting contests in the, next tea

Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, Mass., June 21. — The worst possible weather conditions 
were in evidence at Wellington to-day, it raining incessantly from 
start to finish, and what would have proved to be one of the most 
social shoots turned out very nearly the opposite. 
Most of the shooting was done from the door of the house, 
easily a distance of 26yds., and considering,' the scores were 
good. Dr. Gleason somewhat excelled the rest at this game, and 
in fact at all distances. It was his- day, the honor score in the 
match and high average all coming his way. 
Chas, Worthing started out well, but a drenching was not on the 
programme for him, so an early train found him as a passenger.

SIDE LIGHTS OF TRADE. 
At the Grand American Handicap tournament held in Indian- 
apolis, June 27-30, R. R. Barber, an amateur from Paullina, la., 
won this the greatest shooting event of the year with the magnifi- 
cent score of 99. out of 100. He also won the Preliminary Handi- 
cap with a score of 98 out of 100, and made a run of 157 straight. 
Mr. Barber, who is the Togo of the shooting world, used 
Winchester factory loaded shells, as did several other of the 
w-nners. Mr. Barber’s performance, and the run of 212 straight 
made by W. R. Crosby, who also used Winchester factory loaded 
shells, speak volumes as to their uniformity and splendid shooting 
qualities. 
Mr. W. G. Hearne, representing the Marlin Fire Arms Co., 
New Haven, Conn., used the regular Grade C. Marlin repeating 
shotgun at the recent G. A. H. at Indianapolis. He broke 97 
out of 100 targets, and was high professional, thereby winning 
the Fred A. Stone "Scarecrow cup.” The Marlin Fire Arms Co. 
will send their Marlin Experience book to applicants who inclose 
three stamps.

J. P., Easton, Pa.— Can the captain of a gun club which shoots 
under American Association rules, change the trap (which was 
throwing a .30yd. target) to a 45yd. target at any and all shoots of 
the club, even though the majority of the shooters present want a 
3Dyd. target? Ans. The captain of a gun club can do so under 
American Shooting Association rules, if those are the_ official 
rules of the club. The A. S. A. Rule 7, Sec. 1, governing this 
point is as follows: “All traps must be adjusted to throw^ the 
targets a distance not less than 40yds., nor more than 60yds. A 
30yd. target is child’s play.

The Pennsylvania Special as a Time Saver. 
A New York broker received a message just before the close of 
the Stock Exchange requesting his presence in Milwaukee as 
early as possible the next day. From the other end of the tele- 
nhone wire he learned that the Pensylvania Special leaving down- 
town at 4 P. M. would deliver him there before noon _ He boarded 
the Cortlandt Street Ferry at 4 P. M., arrived in Chicago at 8:55 
the next morning, after a comfortable night enroute, and reached 
Milwaukee at 11 A. M. 
The opportunity to purchase in fee simple a thousand acres of 
land in the county of Gaspe, Canada, is one that should appeal 
to many an American reader. The country is one of great beauty, 
has excellent fishing, and used to have fine big-game, hunting near 
at hand. The advertisement is certainly worth mvesBgatmg,
