Cfncinnati Gun Club. 
August 25 was -pleasant and cool, with a stiff breeze, which 
bothered the shooters considerably, though no one complained. 
So manj' of the members are away that the attendance was 
small, only fifteen scores being recorded this week in the Schuler 
trophy event. Lytle shot in the event and made a full score 
of 50. Flarig did fine work, breaking 49. Captain also shot in 
better form than for the last few times, making 46 with his handi- 
cap. The last' shoot in this series will take place on Sept. 2, 
apd as m.atters stand now Lytle has more than a fighting chance 
to win. He has gone up a place or two, and Krehbiel’s score 
to-day makes him 91.5 per cent., instead of a little over 93. 
Some of the boys shot at 10 pairs, and Gambell led with 15 breaks. 
Tuttle should always stand at 23 yards, to-day he broke 8 out 
of 9 at that distance, and he hit ’em every one in the center. 
Bech w'as out for the first time since May 30, and smashed a few 
at practice, 31 out of 35.

Ohio Notes. 
Only six men took part in the weekly shoot of the Springfield 
Gun Club on Aug. 19. The day was rainy and decidedly un- 
favorable for shooting. In the four 26-target practice events 
Poole was high with 81, Henderson second with 65 out of 75, and 
Thompson 64 out of 75. Snyder made the best single score of the 
day, 24, in the fourth event. In event No. 3, at 25 targets, for the 
Hunter medal, Henderson won with 23; Snyder 21, Poole 20, 
Downs and Winkler 19 each. 
A heavy rainstorm on Aug'. cut down the attendance at the 
shoot of the Columbus Gun Club. Among those who braved the 
weather were the popular trade representatives Messrs. Le Compte, 
Gross and Taylor. Only a few events could be shot on account of 
the heavy downpour. Le Compte headed the list with the fine 
sccre of 93 out of 100, missing only one in his first 50. Gross also 
•shot at 100 and broke 80. Allen broke 80 out of 95. Watkins, 
Turner and F'rank each shot at 95, scoring 74, 68 and 65_ re- 
.spectively. Ten men were present. The club has _ preparations 
completed for their Labor Day shoot, which promises to be a 
good one, and all sportsmen are cordially invited to be present. 
The Rohrer’s Island Gun Club, of Dayton, held their regular 
handicap medal shoot on Aug. 23, thirteen members entering m 
that event. Four men — Hodapp. Oswald, La Rue, and Cain- 
tied on scores of 25 or better. Only one shoot-o_ff was _ required. 
President Gus A. Hodapp won for the second time this season, 
his score being 12 out of 13, a total of 39 out of 47 shot at. 
Oswald shot at 30 in the main event, and broke straight, but in 
the tie he droppe4 3 opt of 12. La Rue broke 25 out of 32, and in 
the tie 9 out of 13. Cain scored 26 out of 29, atld 6 out of lO itl the 
tie. The sport ended with six sweepstakes, five at 15 and one at 
10 targets, 50 cents entrance; four moneys in Nos. 1 to 4, and 
two moneys in Nos. 6 and 6. McConnell and Flanauer divided 
first money in No-. 1 bn 15. Oldt second on 14. Miller and Cain 
third on 13. In No. 2, Hodapp and Cain divided first, 14 each. 
Oswald, Carr, McConnell, Miller and Smyth, second on 13, and 
Hanauer third, 11. In No. 3, Oldt, Oswald, McConnell and 
Fowler first on 14; Cain, second, 13; Hodapp, Smyth and Hanauer 
third, 12. No. 4, Oswald, Cain and Fowler first on 14 each; Carr 
second, 13; Oldt and Hodapp third, 12. No. 6, Cain first, 15; La 
Rue second, 14. No. 6, Cain first, 10; Hodapp and Carr divided 
second on 9 each. As the close of the medal series approaches 
the interest increases, and another win by Hodapp will place him 
a close second to- the leaders, Oldt and Miller. 
At the shoot of the Urbana Gun Club, E. W. Holding won the 
cup emblematic of the individual championship of Champaign 
county with a score of 24 out of 25. In a 50-target sweep Flolding 
broke 49, Bailie 44, Egenberger 36, and Koehle 32. 
The dove season opens on Sept. 1, and the traps will be prac- 
tically deserted for a while. Doves are reported to be plentiful 
in the vicinity of Dayton, and many of the shooters have planned 
to take a crack at them on that day. 
The Dayton Gun Club held one of the best attended regular 
shoots of the season on Aug. 25, fifteen members taking part, and 
some good scores being made. In the practice events Carr was 
high with 79 out of 100. In the handicap (added targets) event at 
26 targets, ten men tied for first on 25 or better, and five shoot- 
offs at 10 targets were required before the winner was decided. 
This was Rusk, who- broke 8 out of 10, his handicap of 2 giving 
him 10. In the_ match and ties Rusk shot at 75 targets, breaking 
49, and with his handicaps scored 80. In this event Cord and 
Lindemuth were high in actual breaks with 24 each; W. Watkins 
and Cain second with 23 each; A. Keller, 21; Darst, 20. The 
club has all its arrangements completed for the tournament on 
Sept. 4 and 5. They expect a good attendance, and the pro- 
gramme issued warrants their expectations. 
The regular shoot of the Fayette Gun Club, Lexington, Ky., 
was held on Aug. 24, only thirteen members being present. As a 
gerxcral Thing at least thirty, and often forty, men take part in 
these shoots, as all of the seventy-five members of the club are 
enthusiastic sportsmen. The dove shooting is principally re- 
sponsible for the small number, as many of the members put in 
all their spare time in the fields. A ten-man team from Mt. 
Sterling was expected to-day to shoot the rubber in a series of 
five matches, each club having won two, but they failed to put in 
an appearance. The club has just finished a series of three team 
matches, with Winchester Gun Club. The last match was shot 
on Aug. 10, Winchester winning two out of three matches. The 
club has a weekly shoot for a Parker gun, the series consisting of 
twelve contests at 25 targets each, sliding handicap of added tar- 
gets. There are three more contests in this series. Henderson, 
Dodge, Bell, Denny, Skinner and Quincy Ward are in the lead. 
No scores in this event shot to-day owing to small number present.- 
On Aug. -31, the first of a series of four 25-target levents for a cup 
presented by Laflin & Rand will be shot. Mr. Bell, treasurer, is 
the. handicapper, and his awards will be sealed up and not opened 
until the last event is shot. The sport to-day consisted of five 
25-target events. Ten of the boys made up a purse, the amount to 
be used in purchasing a trophy for the winner of a handicap 
event at 25 targets. McCormick, Kinkead and W. tied on 25, and 
in the shoot-off W. and McCormick tied again on full scores, in- 
cluding their handicaps. The tie will be decided at the shoot 
on Aug. 31. W. did the best work of the day, breaking 48 out of 
his last 50. In the trophy shoot the totals were: W. (3) 25, 
McCormick (7), Kinkead (7) 25 each, Barkley (10) 24, Denny (4), 
Dodge (4), 23 each, Van Deren (6) 21, Shouse (7), Carter (9), 19 
each.

bieeze from the rear. Twenty shooters took part in the after- 
noon’s sport.

In Other Places. 
There are some game sportsmen in Pennsylvania. A match was 
made last Thursday at Locust Gap between Bodeman, of Locust 
Dale, and Tom Klinger, of Locust Gap. They are to- shoot a 
match on Labor Day, each to have live pigeons, and the purse is 
said to be $700. The match will be shot off at Lavelle. 
The Mishawaka Gun Club, South Bend, Ind., will soon hold 
regular shoots on their new grounds, located east of the city. 
The shooting of the old club at Bucyrus, O., Thursday last was 
the occasion for the meeting of seventeen members of the club for 
practice. (Jeorge Ruhl, Closs, Sears, and Flickiiiger were winners 
in the first two events. Then Blair and Dostal got busy and 
shared in the wins. Several other events were shot, and in all it 
was thought that 1,000 targets were used. 
Last week shooters at East Jordan, Mich., met with the clubs 
of Moncelona and Traverse City and had a jolly time practicing at 
the traps. 
Scores made by the members of the Green Cove Springs, Fla., 
Gun Club, each at a possible 26: Niell Jackson 18, W. L. Hen- 
dricks 20. Thus Mr. Hendricks won the badge, with Niel Jack- 
son close up. Now this Niell is but a lad of thirteen summers, 
and many of his friends, they say, are so proud of him that they 
are strong of the opinion that not another boy in the State can 
equal his shooting. 
James A. Groves, minus his big gun, Chas. Magill, Ed. Scott 
and George Riley were the Jacksonville, 111., party that spent 
most of last week in Chicago at the shoot held at Watson’s Park. 
It is reported that the most enthusiastic club shoot ever held on 
the grounds of the Richmond, Va., Gun Club was that of last 
Saturday. There were twentv-two shooters out. At 50 targets 
Mr. Fultz with 4 allowed, tied with Mr. Coleman, and they took 
first and second prizes. Rufus Baker was next. Anderson and 
Brown with a score of 23 out of 25, when the light was so poor 
that the referee could not tell whether target was broken or lost. 
The McMechen Gun Club took part in the shoot held Wednes- 
day at Wheeling, W. Va. 
Over at Elkhart, Ind., Jack Taylor showed good form by shoot- 
ing a score equal to 44 out of 46. This is good, and shows that 
most all the Indiana gun clubs have one member at least near 
100 per cent. 
Harvey McMurchy was at Fulton, N. Y., last week, and George 
Lewis and Isaac Chapman, who are in his class as members of the 
gun club, held a tryout at 60 targets. Result: Lewis 48, Mc- 
Murchy 46. Chapman 41. Same time A. P. Curtis, Frank Mathias 
and J. C. Efunter were out and made 24, 23, 23 as their portion of 
good scores. 
Something new in the trap line has turned up, so they say. 
At the grounds of the Beaver, Pa., Gun Club a new trap has been 
placed, with the guarantee that it will keep the targets in the air 
until they are shot down. , „ r , r 
The target shoot at Petaluma, Cal., was the first of three for 
medals and other prizes. Peter Murphy was high gun for the 
day with 17 out of 20. He can wear the gold medal permanently 
if he should win it three times. ^ 
The Seaford, Del., Gun Club is getting ready to- hold a big 
shoot about Sept. 12. Some of the big shooters are expected to

nell, la., gun clubs will not come off until Sept. .26, as many of 
the Marsha-lltown team are away from home. 
There is something doing in the shooting line at Memphis now 
and then when the clubs m.eet. Last Saturday there was a hot 
race on between Messrs. Joyner, B. Crook, Clark, H. Poston and 
F. Poston, and the latter won out. Dr. Anderson won the match

Joyner F. Poston 87, Clark 81, Dr. Anderson 81, E. Crook 77, 
J. B. McGulie 69, J. J. Blanks 55, FI. G. Blanks 17. 
Those who wish to attend the shoot at Canton, 111., need not 
fear of running short of shells or something in the refreshment 
line, as both are kept on the ground for sale. 
Spread the good news that trapshooting is very much on the 
increase at .St. Cloud, Minn. 
Shooters of the West are congratulating Charles Spencer on his

PUBLISHERS' DEPARTMENT. 
The beauties of Lake Temagami and the opportunities it offers 
for sport are only just beginning to be known, but their importance 
in the public mind is likely to increase. By the advertisement of 
Mr. F. Cochrane, Minister of Lands and Mines, it is seen that 
the Canadian Government purposes to grant 21-year leases of 
islands in Lake Temagami at a very trifling rental, and with the 
right of renewal. Any one who contemplates establishing a sum- 
mer camp in Canada, cannot do- better than to inform himself as 
to these islands by prompt application to the Department of Lands 
and Mines at Toronto: 
Bobby’s father had given him a shilling and half a crown, tell- 
ing him he might put one or the other in the contribution plate. 
“Which did you give, Bobby?” his father asked, when the boy 
came home from church. ‘‘Well, father, I thought at first I 
ought to put in the half crown,” said Bobby, “but then, just in 
time, I remembered ‘The Lord loveth a cheerful giver,’ and I 
knew I could give the shilling a great deal more cheerfully, so I 
put that in.” — London Fishing Gazette. 
Buffalo Bill’s hunting lodge, which is advertised in another 
column, lies just to the east of the Yellowstone National Park, 
which it reaches by a beautiful wagon road and trail through the 
Sylvan Pass. In the country between Cody and the Yellowstone 
Park there ought to be much game, and persons interested in a 
hunting or sightseeing trip would do well to write Dr. Franklin 
Powell. 
The constant inquiries about lotions and oils to prevent mos- 
quitoes biting seem to be answered in the advertisement of Mos- 
quitoit published in onr advertising columns. Oil of tar is effec- 
tive. but has its disagreeable characteristics. If something has 
been found which is effective, and has a pleasant odor, it will be a 
boon to many an angler.
