WESTERN TRAP. 
Cindnaatt Gun Club. 
. July 16 was some warm; Gambell’s thermometer climbed to BO 
m the shade. On the firing line the boys perspired, but stu^k 
It cut bravely, and some of them smashed a whole lot of mud 
saucers. Peters was high gun in actual breaks in the Schuler 
contest with 46. Pohlar second with 46. Cambell broke 47 out 
of the 60, but was not shooting his score to-day. Gar^,ell got 
a shooting fit on and made a run of 43 straight. Ackley is get- 
ting ready to start for the Soo on the 17th, where he will put 
m the hot spell, fishing. Farad has left the City for a two 
weeks trip. W/illiams is once more with us, and his score was 
not the lowest by a dumber of points. 
The boys are beginning to talk tournament. The tournament 
committee promises^ good things. The idea is Mr. Luther T. 
pgmer s, and was givtri a tirial at the Wawasett*s aililual tourna- 
ment last May. It proved entirely satisfactory, inasmuch as 
every amateur who shot in all the events received his entrance 
back. A prospectus of the shoot will be ready for mailing about 
the second week in August. Programmes will be ready Sept. 1.

Ohio Notes. 
At the regular shoot of the Springfield, O., GUit Club, Win. 
Poole won the medal with a straight score of 25. Dowds add 
Sfhmddt second with 22 each. Poole was also high gun for the 
day with 88 out of 100. Foley second 88. Brtydfer third, 86. The 
Club’s regular shoot will be held on Fridays for the balance of the 
season. 
The De Graff, O., Gun Club will hold a tournament on July 
eO at which clubs representing Clark, Madison, Union, Cham- 
paign, Shelby, Logan and Miami counties will be present. The 
individual and five-man team cups for championship of above 
counties will be shot for. Capt. Ben Downs, of Springfield, 
speaks the truth when he says that “everybody was pulling for 
him to win,” meaning Prof. Heikes, at the G. A. H. Rolla 
Fleikes is deservedly popular among both amateurs and profes- 
sionals in all parts of the country, and he had the sincere good 
wishes of every shooter that he would continue to break ’em after 
he- had smashed his first 60. 
The members of the Dayton clubs are recommended to prac- 
tice shooting at doubles^ by a press writer, because of the fact 
that the State shoot will be held there next year, and that in 
shooting for the Phellis trophy, such practice will stand them in 
good stead. The Phellis team trophy is shot at 60 singles per 
man, no doubles. The Shooting and Fishing team trophy was 
formerly at 30 singles and 10 pairs, but this rule was changed 
nearly two years ago, and that trophy should now be shot for at 
50!;singles, although the old rule prevailed at this year’s State 
shoot. 
The- Cleveland Gun Club’s matinee shoot on July 8 was not 
largely attended. Some members are out of town and 
others have not wholly recovered from the Fourth. Five 
silver cuiis are in competition, one being donated by 
each of the following firms, and two being given by the club: 
Dupont Company, Austin Cartridge Company, Scribner & Loehr 
Company. To-day’s shoot was the third in the series, and Riley 
and Hastings tied on full scores of 50, including their handicap. 
Pocock was high in actual breaks with 45. Conditions are 50 
targets, added targets as handicap. Preparations are being made 
for the Labor Day tournament, at which cash and merchandise 
prizes will be given. 
The attendance at the regular shoot of the Dayton Gun Club 
was better than for a long time. Ten 25-target events were shot. 
Oswald finished high gun with 172 out of 200. Carr second with 
171. . ' 
Twelve members took part in the regular handicap medal shoot 
of the Greenville, O., Gun Club, on July 10. In Class A, Mc- 
Keon won the medal with 46. Limbert won in Class B with 44. 
Gilbert and Wolfe second with 28 each. McKeon defeated Kirby 
in a 100-target race, 83 to 78. 
A little missionary work done by a shooter at Portsmouth, O., 
has resulted in much good. Interest has been reawakened, and the 
club now has over fifty members, amom.- them a number who 
give promise of becoming good ones. The' club will be repre- 
sented at the Cincinnati Gun Club tournament in September. 
The Forest Gun Club, of Upper Sandusky, O., will hold its 
first tournament in September. The dates will be given later. 
Contests for both amateurs and professionals will be held, and 
the club expects to offer inducements which will insure the 
presence of some of the best shots in the country. 
The Dayton Gun Club will give a two days’ tournament on Sept. 
4 and 6. Added money $100 for the five high averages shooting 
entire programme. No one except trade representatives will be 
allowed to shoot for targets only. 
I'he Pleasant Valley Gun Club, of De Graff, O., has decided 
to call off their tournament advertised for Aug. 9 and 10, as it 
would follow too closely the shoot given on July 20. 
Good sport, as usual, was had at the regular shoot of the 
Rohrer’s Island Gun Club, of Dayton, on July 12, several of the 
members bringing their families with them and making a picnic 
of the occasion. The medal event was first shot pff, and w^as 
won by P. Hanauer with a score of 25, no one tying him. C. 
Smyth was second, with 24. The medal stays in the Hanauer fam- 
ily another week, with the chances about event that Carl Hanauer 
will win it again next week. To-day’s contest was . the sixteenth 
of the season, and sixteen more will be shot, the last one on 
Nov. 1. Chas. F. Miller, who has won the trophy for the past 
twm years, is, in the. lead, having three wins. Ed. Cain and W. 
Oldt have each two wins to their credit. The balance of the 
day was devoted to sweeps, of which nine were shot, each at 15 
targets, 60 cents entrance, three moneys. D. D. Gross w^ , 
with 124 out of 135. E. Cain second with 121, and H. Oswald 
third with 113. James McConnell shot in the medal race and 
broke 25 straight. 
In Other Places. 
The shoot at Portland, Ore., was better attended this year 
ban any previous meet. We have a list of names cornprising 
wenty-two squads, and are sorrs' that they do not give addresses 
11 full so that same could be published in our columns, as such 
11 array of western shooting talent was never previously as- 
Thi'^ileshawaka Gun Club, South Bend, Ind., is doing itself 
iroud, as per individual scores. M. M. .Clark secured prize at the 
ist shoot with 36 out of 50. The county treasurer, Hunberg made 
Thl °Le^ighton. Pa., Rod and Gun Club, the city’s crack social 
rj^anization, last week furnished the club room with three jeathei 
ushioned rockers, each costing $26, and two leather cushioned 
louches, each of w'hich had cost $16. ^ 
The Juvenile Gun Club at Brenham, Tex., is keeping up the 
merest and holding shoots that will keep the boys in good 
iractice. Next to the last shoot held Guy Chishold and Albert 
Pucker tied, on the shoot-off Tucker won, and then he won 
t again in ihe regular contest. The cup, which, was generously 
located by a powder company, will become the property ot the 
me who wins the most times during the year. ^ ^ r-i , t 
Mr. Schaerbelis was the high gun at the Pastime Gun Club, ot 
Jetroit, Mich., wdth a 25 straight.^ i r-i m 
Vt the last meeting of the Detroit, Mich., Gun CJub, Clyde p'Pe 
vas elected to fill vacancy as president. Regular shoots are held 
Minday at Hubert’s Ten- Mile House, at Royal Oak. 
Many of the July 4 shoots were not reported, but some of the

At Memphis, Tenn., A.; FI. FTank, Jim Canale and W. H. 
foyner, shooting at. 300 targets, only lost -8, Joyner making 99.r 
ilF^mphis has some extra ftPP shots, ' 
Bhe Northern Allegany Rod and Gtirt Club has placed 100,900 
pike and same number of trout in Flannigan’s Pond. This should 
find a responsive ehord in all club organizations, It is only, by 
a united effort that thfe lakfes caU be kfept stodkfed with game fish. 
Messrs, Charles Kfeer, George Harvey, and Batnuei Clark, of 
Middletown, 0., were guests for a day of thfe Hattillton Club. 
Hart-y BHiismadte, Ei-aUk G, Millfer, Dave Kfott aUd Frank

at Bloomington, 111., viz.: John Boa, Frank Rifehl, H, W. Cad- 
walladfer, Ward S, Button and W, Tramp Irwin. The weather 
was stormy, and the entertainment thus was rtot the feature 
promised, 
Pietul-fes make good prizes for members of a gurt (Jlub to Con- 
test for. Such has befell adopted by the Freeport, 111., Gurt Club. 
The following members of the Princeton, 111., Shooting Society

Cushing, J. F, Wagner, Judge R. M. Skinner, Clarence H. 
Delano, A, Oppertheim, Dr, William Keller and Harry Burr, 
Dayton, O., is making a bid for the next G. A. H. Should 
this place be selected, there would be a good time assured, as 
good meals and the best of street car service would be at hand, 
What is, much needed is aU amphitheatre. 
The Florence, Neb., Gun Club held a shoot last week. Harry 
Lane and George W. Craig were the leaders, and they were aided 
by some of the Omaha good shots who were present. 
The Raleigh, N, C., Gurt Club held a vety enjoyable event at 
Camei-ofi Field ort Saturday last. The clUb was oUt irt full fofee, 
and with theit twenty-five friends add invitfed gfiests, enjoyed art 
“old-time bal-becufe.’’ The roast had all thfe addfed refreshments 
that heart coUld wish. 
The social feature of ^irt Cluh meets demand the attention of 
tournament promoters. For instance, will all please take notice 
that all the Visiting shooters at the shoot held at Tomah, Wis., 
were well entertained at a grand hall, given in their honor by the 
united efforts of the Tortiah sportsmen. The social feature should 
be entered into by all the Clubs throughout the country. 
There will be “something doing” at the town of Paris, 111., as 
a gun club will be organized there irt the very near future. 
The club at Janesville, Wis., is spreading out, the new name 
adopted being the Badger Gun Club. There will be a shoot in 
August that is destined to- be one of the largest ever held irt the 
west, if planning will bring that end about. There are a number 
of good clubs irt southern Wisconsin to draw from, and there will 
be shooters present from all partsi of the Btate if a date Chosen 
does not interiere with the Indian shbot. 
The shoot Slow, .Gurt Club, St. Joseph, Mo,, is Coming on in a 
rtot “so very slow’’ order. Last Siiiitlay, Wade and Schultz tied 
for first place with 23 oUt of 25, On the shoot-off at lO targets, 
Wade won, 
You would not think that the great shooter you meet at many 
of the tournaments, and who works so hard trying to beat “T. 
Bill” Crosby, was written up in his home paper as“Dude” Gilbert. 
Oh, yes, he was a “dude” in his home town when in his teens. 
The East Side Gun Club at Racine,! Wis., has sold its club 
bouse to the Business Men’s Outing Club, and the same will be 
improved and an athletic park will be fitted up. 
One of the handsomest programmes issued during the mid- 
sum.mer was that of the late shoot held by the Martinsville, Ind., 
Gun Club. It was printed on deckle-edged paper of the finest 
quality. We appreciate the one sent us, as there were only 200 
printed. 
At Haidley, Idaho, the gun club has ordered a supply of targets 
and with the new magazine traps will keep the guns popping 
diiring the .summer.

Boston G«n CI«b. 
Boston, Mass., July 12. — J. A. R. plliott, acTOmpanied by M^ 
E. B. Thompson, visited the grounds of the Boston Gun Club 
to-day, and after donning shooting togs, etc., proceeded 
just what a trapshooter can do in the way of breaking targets at 
21yds. or 16yds., nothing made any difference, ,29 out ot at 
the former distance in the prize match being a sarnple of what 
*^Dr!'Qeasonf with his gun stock done up, like a broken limb m 
splints, managed to tie,, though it necessitated a 79 ot the 
last 80 to do so, but we are always expecting something wonderful 
from the Doctor, and very seldom it is that he fails at least to 
help out in some way or other. , , , , - , , . , „ , • 
A. H. Baker, of Brockton, one of the old stand-bys paid us his 
yearly visit, and with strange gun, etc., proceeded to liven matters 
not a little and showed . that he had_ lost none of the old skill 
that was in evidence at the time of his old side partner bervy. 
Rule, Frank Blinn and Carver all got into the honor class, with 
the latter leading just a trifle.

Thirty shooters assembled at the Boston Gun Club giounds 
Tulv 8 to -inaugurate a series of shoots for the cup donated by 
the l.aflin & Rand Powder Co. Good scores were hardly in 
evidence for various reasons, but enthusiasm was up as usual 
to concert pitch, and the crowd was kept in good humor by the 
ludicrous scores at times. W. H. Heej a welcome visitor 
and seemed to be the only pebble to find them, but after starting

shooting exceedingly painful. A future visit to the grounds will 
now be looked forward to and straight scores will be the rule 
on that day. 
High average for the afternoon was taken care of by one of 
(he hotnfe, ellibj though there might have been another story told 
if “Jitntnie Cliniax” had not got some iron targets in his last 
event. 
Roy, with 38 (wholly o-Ut of sorts with himself for such a score) 
had rto trouble leading irt the prize match, Blinn or Kirkwood 
with 34 being next in line with Churchill and Gleason with 33 
in third (jositiort. 
Every one How waits for their next chance, hoping for good 
conditions, and as the next shoot will be held at the Middlesex 
Sportsmen’s Club, it is needless to say that the traps will be in 
finest kind of trim for good scores.

Malone's Tournament.

“Now,” chortled the amateur Sherlock Holmes to his lady 
partner, “it is eas> to see that gentleman yonder is not married.” 
“Pray, how can you tell?” “By his neglected air; his frowsy 
appearance. No woman would let a man go about like that. His 
coat lacks two buttons, you perceive, and he is not. brushed.” 
“Still,” said the lady, “he is married.” “You .know him, then?” 
“I am his wife.” ^

The Automatic Weedless Hook advertised by Mr.- Chas.- P. 
Krus, of Chicago, should prove a most useful device for . the 
angler who fishes in the quiet waters of Western and Southern 
lakes, ponds, bayous and streams. We all know how constant ' hs 
the danger of .getting one’s hook among the weeds, anti how-im-iich 
care, time and patience is required to free it and to- sa-ve 'the 
hook and line. These annoyances would seem to' be -avoided b’y 
Mr?' Krus’ device,"which we ' should bertainly suppose! ft!' -be ^ well 
worth investigating’ by every angle'r whtt- fishes ' in“wefea-yi watere*
