Ohio Notes. 
At the regular shoot of the Cleveland, O., Gun Club on Nov. 4 
nine members took part. The programme consisted of four events 
at 15, two at 10, one at 20 and one at 25 targets, a total of 125 
targets. Events 5, 6 and 7, at a total o 50 targets, were the regular 
c'ub contest. Tryon and Allen tied for first in Class A on 46. 
A'lacMeans was first in Class B with 48. MacMeans was high for 
the day with 107 out of 115. Tryon broke 93 out of 100. Boardman 
99 out of 126 and Hopkins- 98. Allen 81 out of 90. The club will 
held a tournament on Thanksgiving Day, at which cash prizes

Farmers in the vicinity of AA'opakoneta report a scarcity of game 
in the county, and many of them have forbidden hunting on theif 
farms. Quail are said to be very scarce and rabbits are not as 
plenty as usual. 
Henry Price, of Brookville, and AVI Hapner, of Lewisburg, who 
are hunting with a party in upper Michigan, have each killed a 
moose. Linkhart and other hunters from Green and Clinton 
counties have Teturned from a month’s hunt in Canada. Several 
deer were, killed, and each one of the hunters got a moose. Their 
camp was located in the midst of a fine game country, and they 
found birds plenty as well as large game. 
A party of hunters from Flamilton has just left for a deer hunt 
in Price county, Wisconsin, Deer are reported to be plentiful 
and the hunters will be gone a month. 
The tournament of the Hamilton, O., Gun Club, announced for 
Nov. 9 and 10* proved to be a failure, as so few shooters were 
present that it was called off. Even the local shots failed to turn 
out. This club seems to have dropped out of sight, or to have 
buried itself intentionally, as for many months nothing has been 
heard concerning it. 
Uncle Joe Wilson, of Lewisburg, has returned from his hunt 
with deer and moose antlers. Pie killed two bull moose while 
away. 
Mason Beifrler, of Dayton ; Alpheus Hawker, East of Dayton, 
together with H. H. Conklin, H, H, Hawkins, L. N. Clevenger 
and Otis Swigatt, of Greene county, are in camp in the forests 
near AVorthington, Can., and will stay until December. They 
have killed six deer and will hunt for moose still further north. 
M. E. Wild, J. F. Heck, J.^aurence Fry, Claude Weaver and M. 
L. Weisenbarger, of Arcanum, are camped on the Eagle Lake 
read, north of Patten, Me. On the first day they killed three 
deer, and at the latest reports had added four more to that num- 
ber. They are expected home on Nov. 23, and their friends are 
■expecting plenty of venison. 
O. N. Harshman, a farmer living north of Eaton, was brought 
before Squire L. T. Stephen on Nov. 7 and fined $25. and costs for 
hunting out of season. 
William Butler, Robert Moses, B. D. Moses, Thos. Leach and 
Ed. Wysong, of Eaton, left on Nov. 7, for Prentis, Wis., where 
they will hunt for several weeks. 
E. C. Dyer, George Kraft and A1 AVurstner spent two days at 
the Lewistown reservoir last week and killed 145 ducks, the largest 
number killed by one party so far this season. 
Rike’s score of 97 out of 100 at the N. C. R. grounds on Nov. 4 
sliows that he is getting confirmed in the target smashing habit. 
E. AAA Holding, winner of the individual inter-county champion- 
ship trophy, has been awarded the handsome gun offered to the 
Ohio trapshooter making the best score during the season. He 
had ten scores of 60 straight. 
Less Reid is another Ohio shooter who has been making a 
reputation for himself, and has a record of 97 per cent, for the 
season. 
'VA^m. Clark, of New Paris, is a crackerjack, and makes a good 
showing on any grounds he may happen to visit. 
At Watson’s Park. 
Chicago, 111., Nov. 6. — Yesterday at. Watson’s Park was in- 
augurated the first of a series of weekly shoots which will run 
throughout the winter months. These shoots are gotten up to 
interest the shooters of the city, and all visitors who may be in 
the vicinity and who desire an outing at the traps. 
That ail may shoot without making it very expensive the man- 
agement has provided that each target broken shall pay 7 cents, 
and the remaining money shall be divided into three moneys on 
the per cent, plan, 60, 30 and 20. 
This time of the year there is the attraction of duck shooting 
and the quail shooting to open this week, and that takes many of 
the shooters to the fields; hence the attendance was limited. 
Barkley made high score, 97 out of 105, with Steenberg close 
up, with 96, while Hutchinson was third. 
Shooting conditio,ns are so good at Watson’s old park that a 
strong bid will be made for the next G. A. H. Scores;
