’Th® annual autumn tournament of the club was held otl Septi 
and 6 . The attendance was not quite what had been expected. 
The club has put in three new trap-pits, getting a clear sky 
background. They have also erected a large shooting shed close 
to the firing line at No. 2 set of traps, which contained ample 
iroom for the office force and shooters. Mr. Theobald was cashier. 
\Valter Shear and Wm. Madigan, assistants, rendered good service 
!as compilers of scores and in keeping the money figured up in 
each event. 
The referees were R. Hendrickson and C. Baker. Scorers; Geo. 
Birk and Geo. Wells. 
The trade was represented by Messrs. Taylor, Reid, Heer and 
Vietmeyer. 
A nice hot dinner was served in the Sharpshooters’ club house 
each day. 
The programme consisted of ten 20-target events each day; $2 
entrance in each; money divided 35, 30, 20 and 16 per cent. The 
club added $ 100 , which was divided among the five high guns 
shooting through both days, $30, $25, $20, $16 and $10. All ties 
divided. 
On the first day twenty-eight shooters faced the traps, twenty- 
three shooting through. L. H. Reid, of New Paris, broke 97 out 
of his first 100, and 95 out of his second, finishing high with 192. 
Heer was second with 190. He broke 97 out of his last 100. Linde- 
muth was high amateur with 189, missing only 6 in his first 100.

Cfnclnaati Gun Club. 
An enjoyable special shoot was held on Labor Day. Many of 
the members were out of the city. The programme was there- 
fore cut in half, only 100 targets being thrown instead of 2C0, as 
intended. This left half the prizes still on hand, and they will be 
shot for at some of the regular club shoots soon. Five mer- 
chandise prizes were given in each event, and $2.50 in gold to 
each of the five high and five low guns. Sixteen shooters took 
part. The day was cold and cloudy, with a strong wind, which 
made the shooting difficult. Miss F. Altherr’s work was one of the 
features cf the afternoon, and she was congratulated on her good 
score of 81. , i r 
Ties in all the events were shot off at 10 targets at the close ot 
the shoot, the winners then drawing envelopes in order, each 
envelope containing the name of the prize. In the fifth event 
there were seven ties for third prize on 17. All but Gciinbell and 
Williams dropped out in the first shoot-off, and Biese two^ con- 
tinued to bang away until ' ' " 
straight and Gambell broke

3rin good will and harmony have prevailed among its members 
throughout its history. During the four years of its existence the 
club has held a weekly shoot without interruption. The club has 
also done much in organizing clubs in the vicinity, and lends 
encouragement by personal visits of five men to take part in 
the club and tournament shoots. Mayor Ralph J. Smith, of 
New London, was high amateur with 132. D. D. Gross was 
high professional with 136. 
At the last regular shoot of the Indianola Gun Club, Columbus,

tied on 22, the latter winning the shoot-off. In the prize event 
H. E. Smith took first prize. The contest for the Wolfe trophy, 
between H. E. and J. H. Smith, was won by the latter. H. E. 
Smith has been “going some’’ all the season. High man for the 
day was J. FI. Smith with 140 out of 180. The Indianola Gun 
Club will hold its next shoot on Sept. 16.

shooters took part and twenty-six shot the entire programme of

when he has a stomach full of hot dinner. This will be furnished 
on the grounds at a reasonable price.” . If th^.r^ljqp.ters could 
realize what a big dinner does to their scores, they would cut
