Mr. Clarence A. Haight, formerly duPont agent of the 
Pacific Coast, but during the past few years in charge of 
the sporting powder interests of the California Powder 
Works, will receive the profound sympathy of his many 
friends when it is known that he is a patient in St. 
Mary’s Hospital, San Francisco, as a consequence of a 
surgical operation for the removal of an abscess in the 
region of the vermiform appendix. Another operation 
will be necessary later, with a prospect of a three 
months’ invalidism. His wife and sister are nursing 
him, which is to him a special blessing. But grievous as 
are such confinement and suffering, there is much of 
gratification in the prospect of a full recovery and years 
of happy life.

WESTERN TRAP. 
Cincinnati, O., Gun Club. 
The Fourth of July shoot was a decided success, thirty- 
six shooters taking part in the various events, and forty 
or fifty spectators, including a number of ladies, enjoyed 
the sport as much as the participants. Among the visit¬ 
ing shooters were E. 1). Conrad, Link and Andrews, of 
Hamilton, O.; Dr. Gaston, of Wilmington, O., and the 
Northern Kentucky Gun Club, of Bellevue, Ky., was 
represented by Dr. Gould and wife, Dr. Hill and wife, 
Mr. Fee and wife, and Messrs. Stuart and Damaron. 
The weather was perfect, light clouds partially ob¬ 
scuring the sun and a gentle breeze helping to mitigate 
the heat, while not interfering with the flight of the 
targets. Shooting began at 1:30, the last event was 
finished at 6 o’clock, and ten minutes later the prizes and 
money had been distributed to the winners. Lunch 
was served at 12 o’clock by Mrs. Gambell, to all who 
came out in the morning. The programme consisted of 
ten 15-target events, $1 entrance. The first five events 
were for merchandise prizes, the high man in each squad 
in each event receiving a prize, this being decided by 
the score in the next event. The last five events were 
sweepstakes, the division being high man in each squad 
in each event taking the money of that squad, less the 
price of targets; ties shot off in next event; ties in last 
event divided. This scheme was something new, and the 
shooters seemed to approve of the innovation. Gambell 
took no part in the shooting, having his hands full in 
hustling squads and looking after things in general. Two 
sets of traps were used, and the programme was run off 
without a hitch. 
The merchandise prizes consisted of cigars, umbrellas, 
shooting jackets, neck wear, loaded shells, etc. The 
winners were: First event—Bonser, Herman, Ayres, 
Link, Stuart. Second event — Bonser, Dick, Miles, Gas¬ 
ton, Stuart. Third event—Barker, Herman, Johnson, 
Conrad, Pohlar. Fourth event—Barker, Dick, Johnson, 
Conrad, Pohlar. Fifth event—Barker, Keplinger, John¬ 
son, Link, Pohlar. 
The money winners were: Bonser, $13.60; Dick, $12.75; 
Miss Altherr, $12.20; Link, $6.80; Kerry, $8.50; Pohlar, 
$1.70; F. See, $3.40; Offner, $3.40; Johnson, $3.40; Dr. 
Gaston, $3.40; Stuart, $6.80. 
Bonser was high man for the day with 142. Kerry and 
Pohlar scored 139 each. Link, third, 137; Frank See 
fourth, 136; Stuart, 134. The scores:

Eleven men took part in the prize contests of the 
Cleveland Gun Club on June 30. A high wind, which 
forced the targets to the ground almost before they 
could be seen by the shooter made hard conditions and 
affected the scores. The watch fob given by the club 
was won by F. H. Wallace, who tied with Tamblyn on 
68 out of 80. West was second with 66 , Hopp 65, Hop¬ 
kins 63, Scott 62, Gold 59, Taylor 58, Tobey 57. Winston 
and Chester shot at 50 each, breaking 32 and 31 re¬ 
spectively. The contest for the Hunter Arms Co.’s gold 
charm, at 30 singles and 10 pairs of doubles, was won by 
W. II. Tamblyn, with 44, Hopkins 39, Tobey 37, Taylor 
32. At the doubles Tamblyn and Hopkins tied on 19. 
Tobey broke 16 and Taylor 11.

Wolf (0) 43 each, Fouts (11) 42, Baker (0) 38. To even

breaks in the regular event with 45. Huddle second with 
44. For the day McCaughey led with S9, Huddle 85 and

Dr. Gaston, of Wilmington, was at the Cincinnati 
grounds, July 4, giving out invitations to attend the 
club’s tournament on July 25 and 26. The club has a 
limited membership of thirty-five, and most of the 
members take an active part in the sport. Wilmington 
is in the center of a good trapshooting district and 
easily reached, so that the prospects for a big attendance 
are excellent, and the Doctor will see that every visitor 
has a good time. 
The Trenton Gun Club held their regular shoot on 
June 30, eleven men taking part. In the trophy event at 
50 targets, Jones was high with 46; Ike, Heckman and 
Jacoby 45 each; Barron, Kerr and Clark 44 each. Jones 
and Ike then chose sides for a team match, 25 targets per

Jakie 19, Barron 20; total 103. Ike 23, C. W. Kerr 24, 
J. W. B. 18. Johns 14, Smith 17; total 46. 
The Fourth of July shoot of the Greenville Gun Club 
was a very pleasant occasion, though there were few 
shooters present. H. A. McCaughey made the best 
record for an amateur ever made on these grounds; he 
broke 59 out of 60, and broke 57 of this number straight. 
He was high man with 73 out of 80: Hartzell 67 out of 
75; Limbert and Baker 40 each, and Lockwood 29 out 
of 50.

In Other Places. 
There is much enthusiasm at the present time among 
the members of the East Grand Forks, Minn., Gun Club. 
There are so many trophies up for competition that they 
are displayed in the window of a jewelry store. A 
telephone has been placed in the club house, and now 
all the shooters can notify their wives how late they will 
be coming to supper. 
Shooters from Bellefontaine, O., were present at the 
shoot held at Urbana last Wednesday. Ralph Trimble

Rankin broke 47, O’Brien 46, J. H. Stratton 44, W. John¬ 
son 44, J. E. Cook 34. Ed. was last seen boarding a

C. H. Peck. Remington, Ind., started well at the G. A. 
H., but he did not hold up, and the cause now assigned 
is that of a rheumatic shoulder.

and with it a new gun club. W. E. Orr is President, and

one being amalgamated with the new one, and that 
would make the club a power on Fox River.
