to take up the season. The third shoot will take place 
July 26. 
There was a fair attendance at the gun club grounds 
Sunday week at Sauk Rapids, Mich. New members arc 
coming in and arrangements are being made to publish 
the scores, which will boost the game. 
Mrs. Tautlinger, a lady formerly hailing from Pine- 
stone, Minn., is now styled champion lady trapshor. 
She was a teacher at her home school, with tastes and 
inclinations toward the literary, but fate carved out her 
career, and to-day as Mrs. Tautlinger, she is giving rifle 
exhibitions. Her husband, since his boyhood, has been 
a fine shot, and when he captured the “school marm,” 
he, like Topperwein, set about teaching her to manipu¬ 
late the trigger of the little .22. This lady is a Sioux 
Indian princess, having had bestowed upon her the 
beautiful name “Chan-Ku-Ta-Win,” meaning little shoot¬ 
ing girl. 
News comes that the members of the Palestine, Tex., 
Gun Club, at a meeting, perfected their plans for a shoot 
to be held next month. The purses will be large, and 
that means the crowd will also be large. 
Lovers of trapshooting at the city of Quincy, Ill., are 
elated over the report that they are to be treated to a 
high class tournament in the near future, at which many 
of the crack guns of the country are to compete. 
Mr. Grise, of Quincy, Ill., is authority for the statement 
that Messrs. Zimmerman, Walker and others will attend 
the big shoot to be held by Budd and Whitney at 
Arnold’s Park, Iowa. There they expect to meet John 
Burmeister and a lot of the Indians. 
At the meeting held Tuesday at Marion, Ind., the of¬ 
ficers of the new gun club were elected, as follows'. 
W. V. Turpen, President: Harry Sheldon, Vice-Presi¬ 
dent; H. C. McClellen, Secretary, and Tony George, 
Captain. 
Under the most auspicious conditions, the eighth tour¬ 
nament of the Missouri and Kansas Trapshooters’ League 
was held at Carthage, Mo., July 10. Harvey Dixon, ot 
Oronoco, took first honors in the amateur class, and 
Ed. O’Brien in the professional ranks. 
Mr. Robert IT. Connerly, of Austin, Tex., won the high 
average at the Shreveport, Tex., shoot recently, beating 
the cracks from Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee and Mis¬ 
sissippi. He carried away a gold cup, a Marlin rifle, a 
handsome pipe, and the best of the cash prizes. 
A local writer says Fred C. Whitney and Charles G. 
Spencer gave an exhibition shoot at Ames, la., before a 
large crowd of sportsmen and enthusiasts. We all know 
about Charles Spencer, but who ever saw Whit at the 
traps? 
George Lode won the trophy at the shoot held by the 
North Side Gun Club, Milwaukee, Wis., recently, by 
scoring 48 out of 50. F. Sander and L. Schneider scored 
46 each. 
Fred Bills was high man at the Parker Gun Club shoot, 
Milwaukee, recently, with 98 out of 100. Hammersmith 
was going some too, 9G was his portion. The Milwaukee 
clubs keep up practice regularly. 
The secretary of the Duluth, Minn., Gun Club reports 
that there was' a big crowd present at their shoot July 
16, and many cracks were present who much enthused 
the onlookers by the way they smashed the targets into 
dust. 
The Broadway Gun Club, of Fort Wayne, Ind., held 
its first shoot recently. About six hundred people gave 
the boys a send-off. The best score was made by L. 
Baker, with Theodore Clark second. 
Younger shooters are to have more chance to win 
prizes at the tournaments to be held at Walla Walla, 
Wash., under a rule adopted by the Sportsmen’s Asso¬ 
ciation at the last meeting. Y'oung men who have fig¬ 
ured themselves clean out of the money will now- see 
their way clear to do something when the best men are 
handicapped, as they will be by distance. Others in all 
sections should no doubt find food for reflection in the 
rule that shooters making 90 per cent, and over shoot at 
20yds.; 87 per cent., 19yds.; 84, 18yds.; 80, 17yds, and less 
at 16yds. 
A fine exhibition of shooting was that of W. R. Crosby 
while at the city of Plainview, Wis., where he scored 144 
out of 150. R. Mills was high amateur with 126, and 
won the medal. The tri-county badge, open to teams 
from Goodhue, Wabash and Dakota counties was won 
by Plainview. 
In a shoot at Greenville, O., Secretary McCaughey led 
by breaking 73 out of 80 targets, and made 57 straight. 
Scores: McCaughey shot at 80, broke 73; Harpwell 75, 
67; Limbert 50, 40: Baker, 50, 40; Lockwood 50, 29. 
The club holds regular shoots weekly. 
The success that ladies meet with when they take up 
the art of shooting at the trap should encourage others. 
The exhibitions by Mrs. Topperwein are phenomenal. 
The Chanute, Ivans., Gun Club held their shoot as usual 
last week, with Dave Elliott, the well-known Kansas 
City man, as a visitor. Arrangements are now com¬ 
pleted whereby the club will go to Neodesha for a shoot 
with that club. The scores: Mrs. Butler shot at 65, 
broke 59; F. Alexander 65, 59; Mr. Butler 60. 52; Dave 
Elliott, 60. 30; Winchester 50, 33; Graham 50, 37; W. 
Smith 50, 37; W. Smith 25, 15; Miller 25, 15. 
Mr. Kirk made the best score Friday at the Iola, Kans., 
shoot with 84 out of 100. Other scores were: Brigham 59 
out of 75; Allison 75 out of 100; Byron Burns 48 out of 
75; Klein 64 out of 100; Sawdy 40 out of 50. 
At the Vernal, Utah, shoot last week there were eight 
members present. Stanley Ashton won the medal with 
20 out of 25 targets. This was his first win. Lyman 
Ashton won the second prize on a score of 18. Dr. 
Brownfield and Hirth 16; Hugh Colthrap and N. J. 
Meagher 15; Chas. Carter 13, and Hillman 10. 
Sportsmen in Kansas have been able, under the law, 
to enjoy plover shooting since July 15; but they are 
asked to be careful about dove shooting, as that bird is 
protected until Aug. 1. 
Doings at the weekly shoot of the Winona Gun Club 
on the banks of the Mississippi on Wednesday last were 
as follows: Dr. F. M. Norris made 92 out of 100; J. A. 
Gunderson 90, Dr. F. S. James 86, G. B. Stager 86. 
The weekly shoot of the Minneapolis, Minn., Gun Club 
was well attended, considering that some of the mem¬ 
bers were away. Several new members faced the trap 
for the first time, and did well. Messrs. Johnson and 
Parker are shooting well, and they tied on 92 out of 100.

The gun clubs at Charles City, la., and the neigh¬ 
boring towns of Nova Springs, held a shooting contesr 
last Thursday. 
Charles G. Spencer, the shotgun expert, was in Le 
Mars, la., last week, and gave an exhibition at the traps 
which caused the visitors to be amazed at the manner 
in which he reduced the bluerocks to dust. 
At the late shoot at Colfax, Ill., the home team won 
from Bloomington. Mr. James Prott broke the record 
with 37 straight. Shooting at 25 targets for the home 
practice, Harry Arnold broke 23, W. Blumenshine 21, J. 
Woods 20, T. Pratt 20, J. Carter 20. 
The Cannons Falls, Minn., Gun Club held its shoot 
last Thursday. There will be a business meeting July 2b. 
Information comes that at a tournament held Iasi 
week in Ohio, the targets were thrown so hard that many 
of the amateurs quit.' So on the last day there were just 
seven professionals and seven amateurs shot through. 
The Jefferson City, Mo.. Gun Club is fast forging to 
the front. At the last meeting. Governor Falk and Sec¬ 
retary of State Swanger were elected members. Others 
were Fred Fleintz, Ed. Rassen, A. N. Scaber, W. F. 
Rassen and James M. Houchin. The club has a medal, 
and every two weeks the shoot will be held. There was 
a time, though many years ago, when Jefferson City 
could muster enough shooters to hold the State tourna¬ 
ment. That was in the good old days of the live bird. 
Missouri and the Western shooters may expect to be 
invited to a tournament there.this fall. 
The Havelock, Neb., Gun Club holds regular weekly 
shoots. 
The Mishawaka Gun Club, South Bend, Ind., will hold 
regular shoot Sunday, and then a business meeting on 
Thursday. 
In the ten-man team contest between Montclair and 
Newton, at Montclair, N. J., July 21, the Montclair team 
was victorious by a score of 207 to 201 out of a possible 
250. A return match will be shot in September. Thirty- 
six contestants took part in the regular events of the 
tournament, and it was a gratifying success.
