afternoon. In the first of the series for the Peters gold 
charm, Ahlers was high gun with 57. C. O. Le Compte, 
of Eminence, Ky., stopped in the city on his way to the

Trimble, by 11 targets. During the afternoon Le Compte 
broke 137 out of 140. Fultz and Ahlers shot a 100-target 
race, tying on 94, which is going some. Fultz broke 54 
straight in this race. Koch, one of the old-time shooters, 
tried a few to-day. Maynard’s gun is still in the shop, 
and his score shows that he can’t shoot a strange gun. 
Tuttle did good work in some of the practice events.

held the biggest shoot in its history at the grounds, 
above Dayton, on July 8. Twenty-three shooters took

there were forty-eight good shooters present. The rea¬ 
son being that there were twenty-five prizes offered. 
Cass Lake, Minn., is rather far north for a tourna¬ 
ment, but then there is many good clubs in reach, so 
the members of the local club expected a large attendance 
at their shoot held Friday and Saturday. 
Five expert traps were put up by the Great Falls, 
Mont., Gun Club last week. Practice shoots will be 
held during the remainder of the season. 
Marion, Ind., marksmen will soon be heard from, as 
an up to date gun club has been formed. Harry McClel¬ 
land, one of the right sort of enthusiasts, needed in 
every town, has succeeded in interesting about fifty of 
those most able to handle the shotgun, and the shoot¬ 
ing will soon begin. A new Leggett trap has been set 
up and soon there will be something doing at the 
grounds south of the town. 
The members of the Marshall, Minn., Gun Club are 
warming up, and if from now on until September per¬ 
mits making feathers fly, there will be many targets 
thrown. 
It was the intention of the good fellows at Duluth, 
Minn., to have all the good shooters within reach of 
the head of the Lakes to be present at their shoot. Tub 
16 and 17. 
The gale that blew across the range of the Cleveland, 
Ohio, Gun Club, Thursday last, played sad havoc with 
the usual high grade of marksmanships of the members 
of that organization. 
There is plenty of shooting in Milwaukee, Wis., this 
year, and the best tournaments of the year are held 
there, if they are on the Sabbath day. It should in¬ 
terest other clubs to know that the money is divided 
into four equal parts, 25, 25, 25 and 25 per cent. 
There is every indication that during the remainder ol 
the summer months there will be plenty of shooting at 
the grounds of the Muncie, Ind., Gun Club. 
It is announced that at the Tacomah. Wash., shoot the 
handicap was arranged thus: 90 per cent, or better.

The Panhandle and the Bridge City Gun Club, Logans- 
port, Ind., will hereafter use the same grounds.

Awatonna Gun Club. All are enthusiastic over the new 
grounds that have been secured near Mineral Springs. 
Danville, Ill., Gun Club is coming on fast. Weekly 
shoots are held at Wonderland Park. A two-days’ tour¬ 
nament will be held Aug. 8 and 9.

and satisfactory gun to have 
about the house than a Tfflar/tSl .22 repeater. This rifle chambers 
al l the different forms of .22 cartridge s and can thus be cheaply used for 
the pleasure of target or small game shooting, and is at the same time quickly 
made serviceable as a long range riHe for such game as the fox, coon, badger, 
woodchuck, hawk, wild goose, etc. 
The 77Zar//fl .22 has many superior features _ of construction which, 
with the chambering of different kinds of .22s, places it high in the estimation 
of small bore rifle users. No rifle but a has 777(zr//fl accuracy. 
That s good to think about when you order.
