Mr. W. F. Sheard, of Tacoma, scored 90 per cent, or better. He

many shooters elsewhere, to seize hurriedly their guns and am- 
munition and journey to the Northwest, and with a philanthropic 
spirit teach some one how to shoot at the regular ra.tes of 
tuition.

Recreation Rod and Gun Club. 
Morgantown, W. Va., July 28. — The Recreation Rod and Gun 
Club held its seventeenth weekly shoot at Recreation Park this 
afternoon, with twelve guns out, fairly good weather conditions, 
and some pretty fair scores were chalked up. 
The officers’ goblet, handicap, was won for the week by Price 
with a score of 19 out of 22 shot at. 
The club championship gold medal was won for the week by 
Dr. Sivey with an average of 89.8 per cent, for the entire regu- 
lar programme. 
After the regular programme was shot off, some of the members 
shot several extra events, notably a 100-target race between 
Messrs. Taylor and Jacobs, in which the members’ high score for 
our grounds at this number of targets was tied, Mr. W. N. 
Dawson holding the previous record, made on Oct. 28, 1904. 
The club now has all arrangements completed for its tournament 
Aug. 8 and 9, and from replies so far received, we expect to 
have at least two full squads of experts and from sixty to seventy- 
five amateurs in attendance. 
We have two traps installed, with plenty of bluerocks, and are 
fixed to handle one hundred shooters with dispatch, should they 
attend. The scores:

Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, Mass., July 26. — The last serial prize shoot for 1905 was 
held at Wellington to-day, with Wm. Heer and Jack Fanning,

Heer, with 95 per cent., was high for the afternoon, with Fan- 
ning second, though the old reliable Dickey finished to the tune 
of 92 per cent. 
In the serial match, finished to-day. Dr. Gleason captured first

Kansas City, Mo., July 29. — Concerning the Interstate tourna- 
ment to be held in Kansas City on Aug. 16, 17 and 18, under the 
auspices of the O. K. Gun Club, of this city, in addition to the 
regular programme, two novelty events have been added, same

added, use of both barrels, and the other at 60 singles and 10 [ 
pairs, entrance $2.50, $26 added, use of both barrels. ' 
The special events are open to all, professionals included. We 1 
are advised by Mr. Elmer E. Shaner that he is receiving a great I 
many applications for programmes, and judging from this, he is ' 
satisfied that the shoot will be largely attended. ! 
We might also add that Mr. Fred C. Whitney has been assigned 
by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company to act as cashier at 
this tournament. T’nis in itself should show, the importance of the 
tournament to the shooting public. Chas. J. Schmelzer. ' 
Raleigh Gun Club. 
Raleigh, N. C., July 27. — Our members have failed to catch the i 
enthusiasm this season, and it looks like we will close our season 1 
in September with the smallest number of members since the ■! 
organization of the club. 
It is hard to get a full squad at our weekly shoots. The Wilson, ! 
N. C., Gun Club are taking the lead this year, and they have out ' 
an attractive programme for August 8 and 9 — 200 targets per day, i 
with $200 added money. Three or four will go from our club. I 
mention this shoot in my letterj as I have not seen their an- 
nouncement.; in any of the sporting papers. 
The following scores were made on our grounds to-day at 50 I 
targets: Johnson 47, Ellington 47, Gowan 43. R. T. Gowan, i
