[July 21, 1906. 
Cedar Springs Gun Club. 
New Paris, O.—The second annual tournament of the 
club was held at Cedar Springs on July 10-12. The affair 
was under the management of L. H. Reid and W. R. 
Clark, both well known to the shooters of this sectipn, 
and deservedly popular sportsmen. Everything which 
they could do to make the stay of the shooters enjoyable, 
they did, and everybody went home well pleased with 
their trip. 
Cedar Springs is on the traction line, a few minutes’ 
ride from New Paris, or Richmond, Ind., and is about 
thirty-five miles from Dayton. Several of the Gem City 
shooters came by trolley. 
The trade was represented by Messrs. Veitmeyer, R. 
Trimble, C. O. Le Compte, L. H. Reid, R. O. Heikes, 
C. A. Young and J. R. Taylor. The office was in charge 
of B. S. Davis, and he performed the work accurately, 
speedily and to every one’s satisfaction. The referee, 
L. J. Reid, and scorer, Howard Young, gave no occasion 
for complaints. 
July 10, First Day. 
On Tuesday, the first day, thirty shooters were pres¬ 
ent. most of them shooting through. The day was 
dark and windy, and the targets were exceptionally 
hard, as may be judged by the scores of some of the 
men. 
The programme consisted of ten 20-target events, en¬ 
trance $2, and one event, No. 11, at 25 targets, entrance 
50 cents, being the first half of the shoot for the Ballistite 
trophy, a handsome, heavy silver vase, to become the 
property of the winner. This event was not counted in 
the general average. R. O. Heikes was high gun with 
185, 92.5 per cent.; J. R. Taylor, second, with 184. 
Tryon, of Cleveland, was high amateur, with 180, 90 
per cent.; McConnell, of Osborn, second; with 179; 
Bonser and Reid 178 each. The scores:

July 11, Second Day. 
The second day was partly cloudy with not much wind, 
and some of the scores improved. A number of the 
shooters went home Tuesday evening, but new ones 
came to-day, and twenty-eight men faced the traps. 
Among the new arrivals were Ii. M. Carr and J. 
Curphey, of Dayton; L. Pfeiffer and C. Fultz of Cin¬ 
cinnati; Dr. Gould and Jasper, of Bellevue, Ivy., and 
C. W. Matthews, of Euphemia. Many ladies watched the 
sport, and applauded their favorites when they made a 
good score, or listened sympathetically to their story 
of how it happened. 
L. H. Reid was high gun for the day, with 188; Tryon 
and Taylor, second, with 187 each; R. O. Heikes, 185; 
Shepardson, W. R. Clark and Young, 183 each. Tryon 
was high amateur, 187; Shepardson and W. R. Clark, 
183 each; Bonser, 180. 
The Ballistite trophy event was finished to-day, W. R. 
Clark, of New Paris, winning with a score of 47; Bonser 
and Tryon, second, with 45. It is doubtful there could 
have been a more popular win, and Mr. Clark received 
the congratulations of every one on the grounds. At 
the close of the half of this contest, Bonser and Clark 
were tied on 24, but the former went to pieces and lost 
his chance early in the game, the best sport of the dav 
was a ball game, betweent the hotel waiters and a team 
of shooters, which took place at the close of the pro¬ 
gramme. Some of the shooters distinguished them¬ 
selves in their new role, but the colored boys were too 
much for them, and won by 10 to 5 in five innings. 
Bonser paid particular attention to the umpire, and 
his melodious yell of “robber” drowned all other noise.

July 12, Third Day. 
Thursday, the last day, was extremely hot, with little 
wind. The programme consisted of nine 20-target events, 
Nos. 5 and 6 being the last 40 targets in the Navahoe 
cup contest, of 100 targets. The attendance dropped to 
only nineteen shooters, and the programme was finished 
about 3 o’clock, over an hour’s intermission being taken 
for dinner. R. O. Heikes was high gun with 173; L. 
H. Reid, 170; W. R. Clark and J. R. Taylor, 169 each. 
High amateurs in order were L. H. Reid 170, W. R. 
Clark 169, Tryon 164. 
The contest for the Navahoe cup was concluded, and 
resulted in a tie between L. H. Reid and J. R. Taylor, 
on 96, the latter making a straight run of over 60. The 
shoot-off, at 25 targets, was won by Taylor, who im¬ 
mediately received a challenge from W. R. Clark. 
Tryon was high amateur for the three days, with 531 
out of 580. R. O. Heikes was high profesional, with 
543, J. R. Taylor crowding him hard and finishing only 
3 targets behind. 
Then came a return ball match, the shooters’ team 
showing up better than on Wednesday and winning by 
a score of 7 to 5 in six innings. Ivahler did good work 
in the box, and Trimble distinguished himself by catch¬ 
ing a high fly in centerfield. This closed a very enjoyable 
three-days’ sport, the only regret being that the at¬ 
tendance had not been larger. The scores:

event of the second series. 
In the club trophy event, McDonald won in Class A 
on 24. George and T. L. Smedes tied for Class B on 
19, and Herr won Class C on 17. 
In the Dupont cup shoot, McDonald again won in 
Class A on 14. T. L. Smedes in Class B on 13 and 
Herr, in Class C on 12. 
The day was not a good one for target shooting, 
owing to a peculiar hazy condition of the atmosphere, 
which made it difficult to see the targets clearly. Owing 
to a heavy rain and threatening general conditions, a 
small crowd came out. Scores:
