WESTERN TRAP. 
Qncinaatl Gun Club. 
The attendance on Oct. 21 was not large, the day being quite 
chilly. Some of the members were away on shooting trips. 
Thirteen members . shot their scores in the first contest of the 
series for the Clements trophy. Williams was high gun with 48 
from the 17yd. mark. Faran was second with 46, and Maynard 
third with 45. The conditions of this trophy are sixteen 50-target 
events, shot every other week, in two’ strings of 26 each, distance 
handicap, 16, 18 and 20yds. 
The committee fixes the mark for the first event, and take the 
first four scores at that mark for an average, changing the handi- 
cap after every fourth shoot, according to the following scale: 
Under 80 per cent., at 16yds.; 80 to 84 per cent., at 18yds.; 86 
per cent, or over at 20yds. Members must compete in twelve 
contests to be eligible. The average is determined by the scores 
of all the events in which a member takes part. An optional 
sweep is provided, 10 cents in each event, the purse being divided 
at the close of the series, 50, 30 and 20 per cent. To be eligible 
for this purse, members must post entrance in every event in 
which they participate. Several members shot their score in the 
Ackley trophy series on the 16th, making the following scores: 
Bleh, 44, Bonser 43, Dick 40, Brown 39, Miles 31, Gambell 33. 
Herman starts for Duck Island the coming week, to join the 
party already there. Ahlers is making his plans for a quail hunt

Ohio Notes. 
The Preble County Gun Club, of Eaton, entertained their Day- 
ton, O., visitors on Oct. 18 in good style. The rain caused a 
small attendance, and the tournament programme was cut out; 
a four-man team match at 100 targets per man was fixed up in its 
place. ■ The scores made were very fine. Clark of the Eaton 
team, went straight, Less N. Reid 94, D. M. Swihart 82, Dr. W. 
H. Bucke 89; total 366. Dayton team — M. E. Lindenmuth 93, H. 
M. Carr 90, J. Achey 88, Ike Brandenberg 86; total 357.. Clark and 
Reid shot another 100-target match, tying on 95. Clark’s score for 
the 200 was 196, and included a run of 181; he missed his 182d 
target. His best previous record was 89 straight. Clark is cer- 
tainly doing magnificent work. Reid broke 189 out of 200. Carr 
167 out of 176. 
The Greenville Gun Club held a special handicap shoot for 
merchandise prizes on Oct. 1^. Eight members took part in the 
sport, which consisted of three 15-target events with four prizes 
in each event. The winners were, in order given: Hartzell, 
McCaughey, Linibert and Kirby in the first event. 'Wolf, Limbert, 
Plartzell and McCaughey in the second event. McCaughey, Wolf, 
Eidson and Limbert in the third event. The club has lost one of 
its most active members. Cooper Ayers having just moved with 
his family to Duluth, Minn. 
Seth Hobby, w'ho lives near Sidney, and a friend are reported 
to have killed seventy-two ducl^s at the Lewistown Reservoir in 
one day. Perhaps if the game "warden should see Mr. Hobby he 
could explain how it happened that they exceeded the limit of 
twenty-five ducks each, which the law allows to be killed in one 
day, by 22 birds. Hunters should be careful to keep their stories 
within legal limits. 
The Cleveland Gun Club’s regular shoot on Oct. 14 was poorly 
attended, a single squad only taking part in the sport. In the 
shoot for- the Greater Cleveland amateur championship trophy of 
northern -Ohio, at lOO targets, C. E. Doolittle was victorious with 
S9. Latham 87, Sheldon 84, MacMeans 82, Hopkjns 77. This is 
the fourth successive win for Doolittle. He was also high gun 
for the day, with 134 out of 150. Sheldon and Latham second 
with 127 each. MacMeans 121, Hopkins 112. Two years ago Doo- 
little began to shoot at the traps and has rapidly come to the 
front until he is now, without question, one of the best amateur 
shots in northern Ohio. 
Quite a bunch of members w'ere at the grounds of the Dayton 
Gun Club on Oct. 14, among them Pop Heikes, who has re- 
turned from his trip to the West. Seven 26-target events were 
shot. H. M. - Carr- was high with 132 out of 150, Ed. Rike 111. 
Rolla Heikes 107 out of 126. Z.'A. Craig 78, Ike 76, and A. Keller 
54 put of 100. Horace Heikes 44 out of 75. Owens 16, and L. 
Whitacre 24 out of 50. The scores were hardly up to the usual 
mark. H. M. Carr did the best work, breaking 90 out of his last 
•100. Shooting at 16 pairs, Rolla Heikes broke 23. Ed. Rike 
broke 16 targets out of 12 pairs, and Horace Heikes, 17 out of 15 
pairs. 
The Hamilton has closed its shooting season, the result being 
that M'm. Link was aw'arded the trophy, valued at $100, his 
aggregate score for the season being 452; Jones, 437; Smith. 437: 
E. D. C., 422. 
A party of thirty-five hunters .left Dayton on Oct. 17 for a big 
game hunt in northern Maine. Their headquarters will be near 
Staceyville, and they will be gone a month. The Dayton mem- 
bers of the- party include PL ’G-' - and Chas. E. Hossafous and 
Louis Groneweg. P'rom Arcamira were- Claude Weaver, N. E. 
Wild, Mart Weisenbarger, Ixarin Fry and Jas. C. Heeck, and 
from Pittsburg, east of Arcanum were Wm. Breidenbach Harm 
Hangen, Gottlieb Reisley and others. The party was divided into 
five or six smaller parties, each fully equipped with tents and 
supplies for camping. Jacob Brown, Samuel Lack, and Andersen 
Brown, of Arcanum, have been in the woods since Oct. 9. They 
report fine weather and plenty of game. • 
It is likely that the next Legislature will^ amend the present 
game law on quail by prohibiting the shooting of this bird for 
several years. Col. Thomas Paxton, a member of the Fish and 
Game Commission, is said to be in favor of the proposed amend- 
ment. 
It is reported that Pelee Island, Lake Erie, is to be turned into 
a game preserve, and that owners of the land , are giving options 
to a syndicate for that purpose. The woods are full of black 
squirrels, rabbits are abundant, and tljere are a few quail, the 
latter being from the original stock planted there by Dayton 
sportsmen some years ago. The Pelee marshes afford splendid 
duck shooting each fall and spring. Cincinnati anglers and sports- 
men will be interested in this rumor, as it is a. favorite resort 
and is visited every season by members of the famous Pelee 
Island Club, one of the prominent fishing clubs of the city. 
Dr. and Mrs. D. W. Greene and Messrs. Frank Canby and 
E. C. Harley, of Dayton, have returned home from their hunting 
trip in the New Brunswick woods. They left the railroad at 
Boiestown, fifty miles from their camping place, making the 
balance of the journey by wagon, horseback and on foot, spend- 
ing one -night in camp at Rocky Brook. Soon after their arrival 
Dr. Greene killed the largest moose he ever secured, his wife 
being with him at the time. Mr. Canby got a moose and a Canada 
lynx, and Mr. Harley a moose and a black bear, weighing nearly 
376 pounds. Mr. J. R. King, who was with the party, remained 
at the camp. He had killed a moose and a caribou. 
Rain prevented the regular shoot of the Rohrer’s Island Gun 
Club on Oct. 18, and again on Thursday, the 19th a downpour 
forced a postponement, and the remaining four contests in the 
medal and prize series will be shot on the 25th, when there will be 
a grand struggle. 
Madisoaville vs, Superior. 
The return match between teams of the Madisonville, O., Gun 
Club and Superior Hunting and Fishing Club was pulled off after 
a fashion on Oct. 18. The heavy downpour of rain prevented 
any possibility of shooting at 100 targets per man, and the number, 
was cut down to 36. 
As the Madisonville Club had made all preparations for enter- 
taining their guests, the Superior boys made up their minds to go, 
rain or shine, and showed up at Stienkorb’s about noon, where 
they all sat down to a fine dinner, prepared by Mrs. Stienkorb and 
her two daughters. The time until 3:30 was passed in various 
\yays, and then, as the fain had nearly ceased, the boys went to 
the grounds and were soon at work. The shooting was kept up 
as long as it was possible to see a target. Gambell was high gun 
with 30. Pohlar, of the Superiors, tied for second, with Settle, of 
Madisonville, on 27. Lockwood and Deiters are improving in 
their work. Henninger had a strange gun, and his score shows 
that it did not fit. The background is not of the best and had 
an effect on the scores. Bill Settle was anxious for a match with 
almost anybody, but the rain prevented. Some other lime he’ll 
get a chance. Some day next month the teams propose to select 
a pleasant day and shoot at a whole 100 per man in order to de- 
cide the best team. The scores:
