WESTERN TRAP. 
Ciacltmati G«n CIttb. 
Sept. 23 was really an ideal day for trapshooting, but the boys 
have had a surfeit of sport this week and few of the regular 
attendants were present. Besides a 100-target race, little shooting 
was done. Bonser was high with 91. He has improved greatly 
in the past few months. In a practice event he broke 25 straight, 
making 116 out of 125 shot at. Bleh was second with 89, making 
a straight in the first event. He has n-''t been shooting much 
lately, blit has evidently not forgotten how. A. W. DuBray has 
not yet left the city for his trfp to the Northwest, and to-day he did 
quite a. little shooting. Ackley got back from his long vacation 
at Sault Ste Marie, and got into the game again to-day. He is 
looking fine, and the trip did him a lot of good._ Hang called 
at the grounds to-day and only missed 7 out of 75. The Ackley 
trophy contest will start the first week in October under probably 
same conditions as Schuler trophy. Try a sealed handicap this 
time and see how it works. No chance to drop for a big handi- 
cap in this, and the uncertainty will keep up the interest.

Notes. 
The Cincinnati Gun Club members yield to the temptations of 
dove shooting and county fairs. As a consequence only six were 
on hand to shoot the weekly contest for , the club medal on 
Sept. 20. Oswald and Kette tied . on . 25 or better, and in the 
shoot-off at 10 targets the former won 10 to 9. This makes 
Oswald’s second win. 
At the shoot of the Newark, O., Gun Club Sept. 27. and 28, the 
Phellls trophy will be in competition. Teams will enter from 
Columbus, Dayton, Springfield and several other places. 
Co'Unty Recorder John L. Theobald, President of the Dayton 
Gun Club, was operated upon for rupture in the groin, on Sept. 
18. He is reported to be improving, although still very ill at 
his home, 917 W. 3d street. He is known to shooters far and 
wide, and has won a host of friends by his geniality. 
The Indianola Gun Club, of Columbus, held a shoot on Sept. 
15, principally to; give the boys a little practice for their trip to 
Newark, where some of them will be on a team in the Phellis 
trophy contest. L. W. Cumberland will probably be one of the 
team. The shoot, as usual, was a damp one, difficult targets being 
a feature. Webster and Buchanan broke 85 per cent. of . their 
targets and Newlove was a close second. . In the merchandise 
event (three prizes) at 26 targets Newlove scored 23, a splendid 
showing under existing conditions. The Smiths and Webster 
tied for second on 22, H. E. Smith winning the shoot-off and 
second prize. Harrison took third on 21. . 
A few sportsmen of Cincinnati will enjoy a live-bird shoot at 
Rylands, Ky., on Sept. 28. r i i i 
There was a good attendance at the shoot of the Columbus 
Gun Club, Sept. 16, and not a few straights were made. A wel- 
come visitor was Jesse Pumphrey,. a member of the old Sherman 
Gun Club. He broke enough targets to show that he can still 
point a gun straight, breaking 19 out .of . 60. .A number of the 
members will visit Newark on Sept. 27-28. _ A 6 -man team, 
sisting of members of this- club and the Indianola Gun Club, will 
enter the contest for the Phellis trophy, now held by the' Newark 
club. Messrs Rhoads, H. E. Smith, W. Webster, G. Buchanan, 
Harrison and J. H. Smith will, probably be on the team. In 
the sporting goods trophy contest H. E. Smith (1), Wilcox (o), 
and Webster ( 8 ) made perfect scores of 50, including their handi- 
caps as indicated. Smith was high in actual breaks with 49, 
Webster, second, with 46; Wilcox and Shilling broke 45 each. 
Fourteen men shot, ■ i .'i ■ i

Chicago, Sept. 23.— The appended scores were made on our 
grounds to-day on the occasion of the second shoot of the fourth 
series. In the club trophy event Thomas won Class A on 24; 
Ford and Stone tied for B on 16; no Class C man in contest. 
In the Dupont cup shoot following, George won in Class A on 
20 straight; Ford won Class B on 16; no Class C man. In 
Hunter Arms Co: event, George won on 18, thrown 10 singles and 
5 pairs; Horns -won Class B on 17; no Class C man. 
The day was- an ideal one for target shooting, as far as tem- 
perature was concerned, but a wind from the rear beat the 
targets down quickly and sharp snap shooting was the winning 
card for the day." . 
Many of our members are away on shooting expeditions, and 
as a consequence attendance is not up to the standard, 
sixteen shooters showing up for the occasion. Get in line, boys, 
only five more shoots left of the season.

The Winchester Gun Club, Detroit, Mich., could not hold its 
shoot Sept. 16, owing to a change in the shooting park, the new 
location is directly on the car line and . thus accessibm. 
During a shoot lately at Detroit, Mich., , Mr. Gilchrist, of 
Cleveland, shot a match with Jake Klein for $50 a side. Result: 
Gilchrist won with a perfect score, while Klein lost but one.

It comes about with the approach of falj shooting that the 
noted Menominee, Mich., Gun Club will go into winter quaiters 
and for six months not a target will be thrown. . • _ , 
The organization of a gun club means that some trapshooting 
will occur in that town. Such an organization can and should 
always stand for the preservation of game and the enforcement 
of all game and fish laws. Notice should be served through the./ 
local paper that this was the object of the organization. 
Information comes that the Elwood, Ind., Gun Club will P/°oa- 
bly disband, owing to a change in its shooting park. it this./ 
large club cannot find grounds within a proper distance, it seems 
strange when there is so much level land in the State of Indiana. 
At the last shoot held by this club were twenty-five shooters ' 
present. And they have only lost their old grounds, not their 
enthusiasm, I hope. . . r t. i -m- u

Some of the old members are as enthusiastic as the younger ones. 
At a shoot held at Royalton, Minn., there was present L. 
Thielman and son. The father being now over sixty, still takes 
in most of the tournaments, and there are few who can beat him 
at the traps. He scored 78 per cent, shooting at 260 targets. 
Parker, Marion, Ind., club member made 44 out of 60 at the 
last club practice shoot. 
For a club that does not have a shooting ground, Watseka, ill., 
can turn out a good crowd. At the last shoot held on 'the farm 
of Dick Keene there were present members, viz., Dick Keene, 
E. M. Keene, J. McCracken, Ed. Schuen, A. Clark, Chas. Grice, 
George Hamilton, and E. W. Keene. The high score was rnade 
by Geo. Roll, Blue Island, 111., and J. T. Park, of Brooks, Ind. 
The Reading, Mich., Gun Club held annual shoot Wednesday. 
There was plenty of good cheer for all present. 
There are a number of trap and handle matches shot at live

The inter-county team shoots are very stimulating to the mem- 
bers of gun clubs who participate. Take the Ohio shoots, where- 
in the competition is between Urbana, St. Paris, Springfield and 
De Graff; and seeing that each team has won the prize one or 
more times and you can surmise the interest centered in the 
next contests. 
The contest at the Janesville, Wis., Gun Club for the powder 
trophy has been settled. Out of 250 targets J. FI. MeVicar has 
scored 218, and ITenry Carpenter 217. Each broke 46 out of 60 at 
the last shoot. t V i 
Shooting against a team of expert marksmen, L. S. Dahl, Jl. 
B. Lipscomb and R. V. Rowe carried off the challenge cup at 
the Tacoma, Wash., shoot with a score of 69. These three having 
won twice, will now keep the medals. In addition the event gives 
the winner the title of being the championship team of western 
Washington. In the eyes of the followers of the traps, this 
makes it one of the most important events to be contested for at 
tournaments. 
It may be well for old men to take courage and keep up their 
trapshooting. For instance, if your, eyes grow dim, get glasses 
and keep shooting. E. W. Cooper made 25 straight and -won the 
individual championship, besides making a run of 52 straight, he 
being the oldest member of the club. Then at Indianapolis Dr. 
O. F. Britton made 117 straight from 18 and 19yds. Now you 
all know that he has been shooting at the traps for the past 
thirty-five years. We trapshooters do not grow old. We lose the 
“good eye,” but that can be remedied by a good occulist. That 
i= what keeps Britton shooting, as he has worn glasses many 
vears*

I6-Bote Charges in 12-Bores* 
That history is always repeating itself is curiously exemplified 
in some tests we have recently brought to a successful issue. 
Twenty years ago the shooter who desired something less un- 
wieldy, even if less efficient, than the 12-bore was advised to use 
a gun of 16 or 20-bore caliber. . Even now we receive several in- 
quiries a month asking our opinion of the smaller bore guns 
as an alternative for the 12, and our advice generally takes the 
line of recommending in preference the use of a light 12-bore 
and lightly-charged cartridges to corespond. Nothing of a revo- 
lutionary character can be alleged against such advice. Sporting 
opinion has, during the past ten or fifteen years, ever tended 
towards the adoption of shot charges for the 12-bore which £^- 
proach those formerly accepted as standard for the 16-bore. Ihe 
same change of view has manifested itself in the smaller bores as 
well. In fact, it is mostly during the past two or three years that 
gunmakers and powder and ammunition manufacturers, especially 
the two last named, have set their faces against overloading the 
smaller-bore cartridges in the endeavor to produce an equality with 
the 12-bore that can never exist. . , , , , - , 
Granting the applicability of the analogy provided by the length 
of the column of shot in the ordinary 12-bore cartridge, it is 
but logical to admit that no proper justification has ever been 
put forward for overloading 16-bore and 20-bore cartridges out 
of all proportion to the capacity of the case to contain the charge. 
Difficulties of pressure and pattern are bound to arise in the 
presence of such conditions, and it has been found by independent 
practical experiments conducted in many quarters that the smaller 
bores are seen at their best when the attempt to level them up 
to the 12-bore is abandoned. In speaking of 16 and 20-bore 
cartridges of the nominal 2%in. length, we accordingly prefer to 
adopt the following as typical charges in preference to the higher 
values that have previously obtained: 
With 42-grain powders 16-bore, 15/16oz. 20-bore, 13/16oz. 
With 33-grain powders 16-bore, %oz. 20-bore, %oz. 
Reference was made at the beginning of this article to history 
repeating itself. In 1879 the Field trial of 12, 16 and. 20-bore 
guns took place under the management of the then editor. Dr. 
J H. Walsh, assisted by a committee consisting of Capt. Mayo 
and Messrs. A. J. Lane and W. T. Mainprise. The conditions 
specified that the shot charge for the 12-bore should not exceed 
D/gOZ., and for 16 and 20-bores loz., the loading to be done by 
the competitors. This limitation of weight , acted relatively with 
great severity on the 12-bore, which was limited to what might be 
regarded as a normal charge, whereas the 16-bore, to- say nothing 
of the 20-bore, with loz., was loaded proportionally to a 12-bore 
containing lJ4oz. This, by way of introduction, will show that the 
trials as then made were conducted with what would to-day be 
regarded as overcharges in the presence of nitro powders. Quot- 
ing from the report of the trials, we find the following reference 
to the charges used, but unfortunately we cannot find any ex- 
plicit mention of the length of case containing these charges: ■ 
“It will be seen that all the competitors used V/sOz. shot with 
the 12-bores except Mr. Green, who used only loz. All used loz. 
shot with the 16-bores and 20-bores, except Mr. Green, who 
limited his load to %oz. in both, with 3drs. of powder in the 
12-bore, and 2%drs. and 2drs. respectively in the 16 and 20-bores. 
His success with these reduced loads is worthy of remark, and 
sportsmen in future will have to consider whether or no they 
can improve their shooting by following his example.” 
This reference to the charges used provides a sufficient explana- 
tion of the extract which is now given: 
“When we were asked last year to test the powers of 20 and 
16-bores against the standard 12, we undertook the task, without 
the slightest idea that either one or the other could hold its own, 
and all that we contemplated was the arrival at the exact handicap 
between them. We believe that in the. hands, of . a. weak .man, 
unable to carry weight, a 20-bore would . do better at game than 
a 12- but that a strong man could perform as well with the 
“pop’gnn” as with the 12-bore we never dreamed. Once rnore, 
however, we are shown that nothing but actual experience is to 
be relied on in gunnery, for in the present trial the ,12-bores barely 
hold their own at 40yds., taking for granted that our figure of 
merit is conducted on sound principles, which we fully believe 
it to be. It is alleged that the 30in. circle just suits the small 
bores- but then, it also suits the sportsman, and has long been, 
the accepted target for testing his guns. Manifestly, if a larger 
area is to be covered, 300 pellets will cover it better than 250; .but, 
as we said before, the sportsman is contented with a 30in. plate, 
and that being the case, the matter is no-vy set at rest and 
clea’rly no allowance should be made at the pigeon trap for the 
small bore, if the weight of the gun , is not to . he taken into 
consideration.” . , , . , .. ., 1 . 
The above long-sighted views prepare us to meet the ex- 
perience of finding that, judged by actual , count of pellets in the 
30in. circle, there is very little to distinguish the %oz. charge from 
the ordinary sporting charge for a 12 -bore if testing guns of ap- 
propriate boring are used. In the light of the experience of the 
quarter century which has elapsed since the above trials were 
conducted, we should feel indisposed, were we called upon to 
repeat the trials, to allow the 16 and 20 -bore guns a dispropor- 
tionately large charge as compared, with the 12. Any apparent 
injustice involved in such a. decision could be met by making 
separate tests with 16 and 20 -bore guns having 2 %in. chambers. 
Such guns can certainly be more readily constructed to comply 
with ideal conditions of balance and distribution of metal than 
would be possible with a 12 -bore of the same weight. . - 
That -some of the conclusions derived from the 1879 trials have 
not been confirmed by subsequent experience may be gathered 
from the circumstance that the 12 -bore is more popular to-day 
in. relation to the other calibers than it has ever been before. 
A great part of its success may be attributed to the experience 
that a well-bored and perfectly balanced gun can, as ordinarily 
constructed, give the shooter who selects a suitable cartridge 
most of the advantages of the smaller calibers. The gun which 
will perform equally well with a range of charge varying from 
%oz. to V/sOz. has much in its favor. Other contributory influences 
which may be quoted include the circumstance that powders are 
standardized for the 12 -bore cartridge, that gunmakers have most 
experience in its loading, and also that a depleted stock can more 
readily be renewed. A remote contingency which, in our opinion, 
should operate against the general adoption of the . 20 -bore gun 
is the great danger which arises should any of these cartridges 
get mixed with 12 -bores. W e have known guns which, when a 
16-bore cartridge is dropped into the chamber, will pass so far 
forward as to allow a 12 -bore to be inserted on top in the mistaken 
belief that the shooter has omitted to load both barrels. As but 
few 12 -bore chambers are abnormal enough to take a 16-bore 
cartridge, this danger may be dismissed, but in the case of the 
20 -bore a correctly-sized 12 -bore chamber will allow the smaller 
cartridge to pass as far as the cone, leaving the chamber ap- 
parently empty, and thereby ready to complete the chain of cir- 
cumstances which produce a certain number of nasty accidents 
every year. — The Field (London). 
Emil Werk. 
Emil VVerk, Cincinnati, died at his hunting lodge, tjiirty miles 
north of Detroit City, Minn., at 10 o’clock on . Thursday night. 
Sept. 21. Mr. Werk has been a sufferer for several years from’ 
Bright’s disease, and was compelled to' give up active business 
and seek health in out-door life. He was taken with the last 
attack only about two weeks before his death. He entertained 
many friends at his camp, Theodore Foucar and Fred Bader hav- 
ing been with him this summer and returned only a day or two 
before he was compelled to take to his bed. He was never hap- 
pier than when surrounded by his friends, and the best to- be had 
was none too good, for them. He had a fine baritone voice and 
was fond of music, his favorite song being one entitled “On the 
Rio Grande,” and his title of “Chief Rio Grande” was given him 
for this reason. _ ' . 
Mr. Werk was one of the organizers of the Cincinnati Gun 
Club, and was an active member until live-bird -shooting was, 
abolished in Ohio, whe-n he ceased to visit the grounds, though 
still retaining his membership. He cared little for target shooting. 
He was also a member of the Kentucky Shooting and Fishing 
Club. He was a member of the Cincinnati Lodge of Elks, and 
belonged to a Masonic Lodge in Kansas City. 
About twenty years ago he lived in Kansas City and was one of 
a squad of five who made the best amateur record up to that 
date— -if indeed it has ever been beaten — for squad work, shooting 
at live birds, missing but one bird out of 100 . 
Fie was a member of the famous club of shooters known as the 
Indians, and was known as Chief Rio Grande. He was formerly a 
business associate of the late Chas. D. Gammon, of Chicago, a 
well-known sportsman, who visited him at his camp every season. 
Mr. Werk had many friends among sportsmen in all parts of the 
country. He was one of the- best sportsmen in Cincinnati, which 
has produced many noted for their love of field sports. He was 
both a hunter and an angler, and it would be difficult to name a 
game region or a stream in America which he had not visited. He 
is said to have had the largest and finest hunting and fishing outfit 
ever owned in Cincinnati. When he found it necessary, for busi- 
ness reasons, to remain in the city and leave his home in West- 
wood, he engaged apartments in the Hanover Building in order 
to have his paraphernalia with him. Although ^ ha,ving done no 
active business for a number of years, he was principal proprietor 
of the -Sportsmen’s Review, in which he took great pride. 
At the time of his death he was fifty-nine years old. Bonasa. 
Queens County Gun Club. 
Long Island City, L I.— The Queens County Gun Club held its 
fall to-urnament on Sept. 23. In the early part of the day a strong 
wind made the making of big scores a difficult matter. Later, 
however, the wind dropped and better shooting resulted. 
The silver cup for amateur high average was captured by Mr. 
Geo. IT. Piercy, of Jersey City. In the merchandise events, 6 to 9, 
the sliding handicap rule was adopted, all starting in event 6 at 
the 16yd. mark. 
E. A. Staples was high gun in the special 100-target event with 
88 ; G. H. Piercy was second with 81. 
The trade representatives were Messrs. Hood Waters, and Harry 
Welles. Mr. E. W. Reynolds acted as cashier. 
The scores follow:
