Secretary-Manager Elmer E. Shaner writes us: “Please 
announce to the readers of Forest and Stream that the 
special purse at the Interstate Association’s Eastern 
Handicap, at Philadelphia, was sufficient to pay back the 
losses of all amateurs who shot in the regular events of 
the three days and failed to win the amount of their 
entrance, and there was also a surplus of $393.10, which 
was divided among the high gun amateurs. The fore¬ 
going may be of interest to those who contemplate at¬ 
tending the Western Handicap, at Denver, Aug. 21-23, 
where the same system will be in force.”

“The Daddy of ’Em All,” Mr. R. O. Heikes, is not 
addicted to the somewhat prevalent accomplishment of 
“blowing his own horn,” but in a calm, insistent way, he 
is addicted to the breaking of targets. At the tourna¬ 
ment of the Wilmington, O., Gun Club last week, he 
ran 50 straight in the Ballistite trophy event, broke 39 
out of 40 (20 singles and 10 pairs) in the Hunter medal 
contest, made a run of 150 on the second aay, broke £9 
out of 100 in the two 50-target handicap events from the 
20-yd. mark, was high man each day, and high average 
fcr the two days with a total of 394 out of a possible 400. 
And yet he does these great feats with the serenity of a 
May morning and the modesty of a rosebud. Messrs. 
C. O. Le Compte and R. R. Barber were second high 
average for the two days with 383. 
At the tournament of the Middlesex Gun Club, held 
at East Lexington, Mass., July 27, the first day was 
specially interesting on account of the phenomenal shoot¬ 
ing of Annie Oakley (Mrs. Frank E. Butler) with re¬ 
volver, rifle and shotgun. Commenting on Miss Oakley’s 
performance, the Boston Globe has the following: “The 
exhibition was given as only she can give it, and her 
ability to handle the gun and shoot makes some of the 
man shooters look like novices. Coins were tossed in 
the air, and she easily punctured them with rifle bullets. 
She also shot at small bullseyes, shooting 15 times in 
rapid succession. Not one of the bullets was outside the 
mark. Another feat was splitting a card target. A re¬ 
volver was used, and the bullet cut the card in two. 
The back performance, using a common table knife to 
reflect the sights, was wonderful. With a shotgun she 
easily broke 5 targets thrown in the air at one time. 
Double targets were then thrown in the air while the 
gun rested on the ground. At the time Miss Oakley 
was sitting back to the traps. To do the feat she had 
to get off the chair and pick up the gun. This seemed 
easy to her. and both targets were always broken. Other 
feats equally as wonderful as those mentioned above 
were performed.” Bernard Waters. 
WESTERN TRAP. 
Cincinnati, 0., Gun Club. 
Twelve scores were shot in the third contest of the 
series for the Peters trophy on July 28. The weather 
was favorable for good scores, though a trifle hazy. 
Bonser, shooting from 18, 19 and 20 yards, was high, 
with 58. R. Trimble second with 55. In the team match 
Trimble was high gun with 49 out of 50; Bonser second 
with 47. Trimble’s team was victorious over Gambell’s 
with 242 to 227.* In the last 100 targets shot Bonser scored 
95 and Fultz 80. The scores:

interesting events shot on the Cleveland Gun Club's 
grounds, July 21, and Tantblyn did the same trick in the 
second event. The winning score in each event was 47

and Tamblyn with 47 won the contest. Doolittle 45, 
Wallace 42, Hopkins 40, Burns 38, Crocker 34, Chapel 24,

In Other Places. 
Notice has been received that a new organization has 
been formed at Clear Lake, Minn., for the purpose of 
shooting clay targets. 
Some of the best shots of the town of Fergus Falls, 
Minn.—among them the Mayor—cannot agree as to who 
is the best able to make the highest scores at the traps, 
so there will be a decision rendered by an actual con¬ 
test. Messrs. Ed. Stark and Fred Cast will shoot a 
match, as will also Mayor Townly and Thos. Agern. 
There will be some coin up on the result. 
Albert Rohrer, of Everett, Minn., was in attendance at 
the Duluth tournament. 
Wednesday afternoon last John B. Hodges won the 
medal of the Hubbell Rod and Gun Club, of Calumet,

In the competition on the home grounds for the first 
time this season, at Olathe, Kans., Wm. Lemon made 45 
out of 50, and F. H. Hodges 44. This is good for the 
two old-timers. The old and the young blood should get 
warmed up a bit, at this once-famous shooting town. 
A local sCribe sends in the following: “The Danville 
Rod and Gun Club held its shoot to-day. Among the 
noted shots present was W. Tramp Irwin, one of the 
best in the country. Irwin took second place in the 
recent National tournament. What you given him, 
Tramp?”

were honored by the presence of R. R. Barber, Charles 
Spencer and F. S. Whitney. An impromptu shoot was 
arranged. Shooting at 100 targets, Barber scored 95,

Arthur Wilson 11. 
At the late Winona, Minn., tournament, the home team 
won the Chronicle cup from the Tomah, Wis., Club. 
Reports do not say how hot it was, but the news comes 
direct that last Saturday it was too hot for most of the 
members of the St. Paul, Minn., Rod and Gun Club to 
take part in the shooting. Of those who did not fear the 
heat, Monk shot at 105 and broke 41, Murray 74, Hamil¬ 
ton 59, Schulstad 56. At 85, Slocum broke 60. At 60, 
Nelson scored 50.

J. S. Budd 41. The trophy shoot will be held at the next 
meeting. 
The Springfield and the Morgan club, of Minnesota, 
are having a “hot time” shooting races. The first match 
Morgan club won, with 14; Springfield won the second 
by 21; and now comes the tie match. 
Of the St. Paul, Minn., shooters who went to Shakopee 
for a shoot, Fischer got second with 114 out of 125; 
Wilkinson third, 112; Wirland, 111; Perry, 108. Huntley 
was first with 121. He travels from Omaha.

In the cup shoot at Duluth, Minn., A. H. Beyer and 
Dr. Williams, of Superior, tied on first place with 23, 
and then Byers won on the shoot-off.

man at the Parker Gun Club shoot at Milwaukee, Sun¬ 
day, with 108 out of 125; Lake was second with 102. T. M. 
Hughes was out for a little practice, and made 45 out 
of 50. 
Chas. Snapp took the medal at the shoot Thursday 
last at Marshall, Minn., with 21 out of 25. 
The Council Grove, Kans., Gun Club has been or¬ 
ganized two years, and is now conceded to be one of the 
best in the State. It is composed of cool-headed gentle¬ 
men. When on their grounds no careless handling of 
guns, no abusive language. There is a move on hand 
to make a bid for the next State shoot. With such 
men as Ed. ICeenor for president, and R. C. Durland 
secretary, the members can see no such thing as failure 
cr defeat. 
Ed. O’Brien, John Gillespie and Chris. Gottlieb, all 
Kansas men, were present at Ellinwood, Kans., and 
entertained the shooting men with an exhibition on 
Saturday last. 
. E. P. Brigham and Kirk Allen made the best scores at 
Iola, Kans., Gun Club practice shoot, each getting 45 
cut of 50 targets. 
There is much jubilation among the members of the 
Cass Lake, Minn., Gun Club over the shooting done by 
William McKinnon, at the Duluth, Minn., shoot, where 
he beat two of the best shots in the State—Guptill and 
Story—and won the State championship event; score 48 
out of 50, to 47 for the other two. McKinnon is em¬ 
ployed in the forest service, and is said to be a very 
good shot with gun, rifle or revolver. 
A team race was the attraction at the shoot held at 
Whiting, _ Wis., recently. Three teams entered, and Wis¬ 
consin River team won with 371; Grand Rapids club, 365; 
and the Junction City, 321. A very interesting part of 
the afternoon sport was the exhibition shooting of Mrs. 
F. E. Culver, who broke six out of ten targets. 
At Rice Lake, Wis., there is a flourishing gun club. 
At the weekly shoot at Aitken, Minn., there has been a 
spirited contest. Luse and Krelwitz have shot up their 
allotment of 225, and when others shoot up, then there 
will be a shoot-off at 50 targets. 
At the weekly shoot of the Grand Marias, Mich., Gun 
Club, Tuesday, C. E. Miller was high, and Dr. Ander¬ 
son second. The club is prosperous, and the only thing 
worrying the members is how to beat Miller out of first 
place. 
The Las Vegas, N. M., Gun Club is to be reorganized, 
and a meeting has been called to elect the new officers, 
and transact other business. 
Mr. Adams won the powder cup for the first time, up
