Cincinnati Gun Club. 
Aug. 12 was a distinctively uncomfortable day. Gen. Humidity 
rrived in town this morning and, until the middle 
oon, made poor humanity suffer. Then it cleaied ^ 
ght breezze cooled things to a bearable degiee. Nineteen 
lembers shot their scores in the Schuler prize contest on thc 
1th and to-day, six of them making the full score of oO, including 
leir handicaps. Randall, who has made himself quite a strang r 
itely, was high in actual breaks, with 48. Barker was second 
dtlr 45. In the team matches he did belts’^’ but 1 out 
f 60. In the practice events Maynard broke 96 out of 105, over 
) per cent. He smashed 46 out of his last _50. Keplinger scoied 
i out of 60 at practice. Not much practice was indulged in, 
very one being through before 6 o’clock. 
Lytle appeared in the role of chef, to-day and served up spaghet i 
1 a style'^ which pleased the boys. Barker said you could.’nt miss 
■m affer filling up on “Lytle spaghetti,” and to prove it broke 
\hDss ^is a new man at the traps. He used a 16-gauge gun, 
ither light for trap work. Williams -blames the hard trigger 
ull of his new gun for his low score. Something was wrong 
vklently, for he shot way below his average. Peters was anothei 
lan with a new gun. His is a single-trigger and, though two 
r three of the boys tried it, and cotildn t_ m.iss 
core shows that he lias not got the hang of it yet. J. Faran 
ill be back from his trip and at the grounds to-morrow About 
le middle of September Maynard starts on his annual pilgnmage 
rWimiipeg after chickens. Falk returned safely from his trip 
5 Wabash, Ind., and was at the grounds to-cHy for the firs, 
me in two weeks. His rest must have benefited him, as ne 
inded among the bunch of 60s. , ,, /ox eo n i „

n never slrot at targets until July 5, did good work, breaking 
fight in sTveral 10 target events, and p out of 25, going a little 
-r 87 per cent, for the day. A V. Schilling, niade several 
broke 89 out of 95, nearly 94 per cent, for the day. Di. 
fcox Was secoL high gun with 108 out of 120 , 90 per cent.

nts, is once more in the game. He has located at Columbus, 
1 was at the grounds to-day, where he broke 61 out of 60 
O S Marckworth brought Miss Marckworth and several

Le Divtmi Gun Club held its regular weekly shoot on Aug. 
Owino- to the absence of a number of members from the

Wts were shot at a total of 175 targets. La Rue was high 
with 101 out of 125; Ike, second, with 90 out of 100; Craig, 
and Dial 83 out of 100. The prospects for the success of the 
rnament on Sept. 4 and 5 are very good. 
'he Cleveland Gun Club held their regular matinee shoot on 
o- 5 the principal event being the contest for the Dupont 
Siv ’at 60 targets. Riley scored the full 50, including his 
rlipan of 15 Pocock was high man in actual breaks with 47. 
p winners were; Pocock, first; Wallace, second in Class B. 
first- Freeman, second in Class C. Good sport is promised 
Tabor ’Day with a liberal number of merchandise prizes, and 
irtsmen are 'cordially invited to be present 
'hirtv eiMit shooters were present at the New Moorefield Gun 
b’s shoot recently, the largest number which has yet competed 
for the Peters County championship trophies since they were put 
in competition last spring. The sport Continued until dark, and 
was enjoyed by all. In the five-men team contest, six teams 
were entered, two from Springfield, one each from St. Paris, 
Catawba, Troy and Urbarta. The St. Paris team won with a 
score of 211 out of a possible 250. The team consisted of Brubaker 
39, Losh 43, Karnehm 42, Holding 44, Kirby 43; total, 211. The 
Troy team was second with -198; Springfield No. 1 third, with 
194; Springfield No. 2, fourth, 187; tJrbarta, fifth, 171; Catawba, 
139. In the Peters individual county championship Contest, Losh, 
of St. Paris, and Holding, of Urbana, tied on 44 ont of 50. The 
tie was not shot off, owing to darkness. Mrs. Sadie Morgan, 
daughter of Wm. Poole, of Springfield, who has gained a wide 
reputation for her ability in compiling scores, and handling the 
money part of- a tournament, was present and had charge of 
these^ departments. In the programme events, at 130 targets, 
Holding was high gun with only 7 misses. He has already won

high with 24 out of 26; C. F. Miller was second with 22, and W. 
C. Oldt, third, with 21 out of 29. The low scores made were 
due to a puzzling wind which blew all the afternoon. 
The Greenville Gun Club opened the seasfjn on March 20, the 
principal of the week being a 50-target handicap. Following are 
the winners of this event to date: H. A. McCaughey (18) 33,

Consolidated Gttn Clobs of Connecticwt* 
Hartford, Conn., Aug. 8 . — The Seventh of the series of tourna- 
ments of the (Consolidated Gun Clubs of Connecticut was held 
under the auspices of the Colt Gun Club, and a goodly number 
of shooters were on hand to participate. Seventy-three entered 
and seventeen shot through the entire propramme of 190 targets, 
and ^ some very excellent scores were made, considering the 
varying light and trying background. A border of large oak 
trees make a very hard perspective and many a target got away 
because ,the shooter could, not see it. 
The high average for the day was made by G. S. Craven, an 
amateur, who exceeded the score of J. A. R. Elliott by four 
targets, and Herbert Barstow, of Rockville, was a very close 
second, being but one behind Craven. 
The team scores follow: New Haven 77, and total of 552 for 
the series; Rockville 85, total 564; Waterbary 84, total 545; (Villi- 
iiiantic 80, total 538; Norwich 75, total 521; Hartford 73, total 490; 
New Britain 87, total 518; Bridgeport 66 ; total 465. Though the 
New Britain team scored the highest number of breaks to-day, 
the score does not count in the series, as they were compelled 
to shoot a non-member in order to make up the full quota of 
men. A. J. Reynolds, the veteran of many years, made a score 
of 20 straight in the team race and incidentally now stands four 
targets in the lead for the beautiful silver cup offered by the Peters 
Cartridge Co., for the highest individual score in the team race 
for the nine scheduled shoots. Craven, who is also a member of 
the New Britain team, followed the good example set by his 
leader and proceeded to annihilate all of his targets. 
Ihe members of the home, club did everything in their power 
to give good service and the shoot ran along very smoothly. 
Messrs. McFetridge, Dr. Rowe, Hollister, Newick, Herman, and 
others did good work, and they are to be congratulated on the 
success of the shoot. Mr. J. H. Gould, of New Haven, was a 
very efficient cashier. 
About 9,000 targets were thrown from a set of expert 
arranged Sergeant system, and a new Blackbird Club Trap, 
threw a very regular target and broke a comparatively 
number. 
No. 6 was the team event:

sent out by Dr. Sergeant (Mr. Carl Von Lengerke) and Mr H. 
11 conspicuous for good competition ’and" 
Pclk Mi Kr representative of the 
-PcJk-Miller plug Co., had little spare time to shoot, as he took 
upon himself the burdens of handicapping, trap-pulling, referee^ 
done®?n^Hf’ hustler and general manager of the shoot, all 
done 111 his affable and vivacious manner. Mr. Tietjen devoted

as Ihe Jolly Laker Boss ; Mr. F. Fichtel, of Union Llill N T 
a famous artist and photographer, who, though an experienced 
and emhusiastic field shot, has had but little experience at the 
traps; nevertheless, he shot notably well. There aCrwerl Mr

were bitches, beautifu English setters, with litters of puppies on^
