WESTERN TRAP. 
Live Bird Shoal el Dayton, Ky. 
The Northern Kentucky Gun Club held a shoot at 
live birds on Aug. 2, which attracted quite a number of 
Cincinnati sportsmen, among them H. R. Bonser, G. 
W. Schuler (Willie), Medico. D. Pohlar and A. Gambell. 
The day was very hot and close, scarcely a breath of 
air stirring. The birds were affected by the heat, and 
many of them were induced to fly after the trap was 
sprung with great difficulty, some absolutely refusing to 
rise from the ground. On the other hand, there were a 
few screamers, which, taking the shooter unawares, 
taxed his skill to the utmost. Medico, Bonser and Miss 
Altherr drew a few of the fast ones, and made some fine 
second barrel kills. A very large proportion of the birds 
were incomers. Most of the events were shot at 30yds. 
rise, 40yds. boundary. John Falk was referee. Over 
300 birds were trapped during the afternoon. The sport 
proceeded a little slowly, as considerable trouble was had 
with the traps, two of the five finally being put out ot 
commission. Mr. Fee had charge of the office work, and 
was assisted part of the time by Dr. Gould. 
Medico and Bonser tied for high gun with 37 kills 
out of 41 birds. 
The club proposes to give a monthly live-bird shoot 
during the fall and winter, and, with the advent of cooler 
weather, these will be well attended without a doubt. 
Visitors are always welcomed at the grounds. 
Cincinnati, O., Gun Club. 
Aug. 4 was a scorcher, and though there was a very 
fair attendance, the men felt a little listless and did not 
do as much shooting as usual. Bonser was high in the 
Peters trophy contest with 57; Du Bray second with 53, 
Fultz 52. In the practice events Fultz was high with 
195 out of 240, Gambell 181 out of 200. Falk, Bonser and 
Gambell will attend the Indian shoot at Parkersburg. 
Capt. Du Bray leaves here for the shoot at Hamilton, 
Ont., and from there will visit Ottawa, Montreal and 
Sherbrooke, and then to Boston. L. Aiders is planning 
to attend the Denver tournament with Bonser and Falk.

The Northern Kentucky Gun Club, of Bellevue, Ky., 
held their first contest for the Gould trophy on July 29.

ment of the Ideal Gun Club, Circleville, July 27. Tayloi

July 28, the club silver fob was won by Talmage with a 
score of 33 out of 50. In the contest for the Hunter 
Arms Co.’s gold charm, Wallace and Green tied on 47. 
As this was the last shoot of the series, the tie was not 
shot, and the charm was awarded to Tamblyn, as he 
had won eight of the twenty contests. The club -started 
a series of shoots on Aug. 4 for five prizes, the first 
being a solid gold charm, presented by the club. 
In Other Pieces. 
If the good shots keep coming into the new gun club 
at Marion, Ind., there will be such an awakening as 
never before struck the town, in the shooting line. The 
shoot held Tuesday was the largest ever held by a similar 
organization in this city. The talk now going is to the 
effect that just so soon as the members have become 
accustomed to the targets and feel that they can com- 
pete with other clubs, then there will be a tournament 
held. Some of the scores made were very good for be- 
ginners. Jack Sullivan, who was not able to hit any- 
thing the first day, broke 14, and Tony George showed 
that he will soon have his eye trained. 
William Parker was high with 46 out of 50. W. V. 
Turpen 40, Harvey Crevison 48 out of 65. The new 
members are Dr. W. V. Daniels, Frank Howard, W. C. 
Pinkerman, Bert Critx, H. H. Wigger and H. E. Otis. 
The scores, out of 50: James Lay 41, Fred Jay 42, 
Harry Goldthwaite 33, W. C. Jay 40, John 44. Lewis 
Bowser 44, Al. La Mont 40, Harry Sheldon 34, Ears 
Golding 26, W. V. Turpen 40, George Chambers 26, 
Andy Shrock 24, Tony George 9, Wm. Dugan 22, Jack 
Sullivan 14, Frank Brosier 18, Buch Edmiston 23. 
With good weather for the Tuesday shoot at Logans- 
port, Ind., there was a small attendance, and poor scores 
were made. The best scores were those of Fred Freeman, 
36 out of 50; Theodore Sample, 34, and Judge Lairy 32. 
Flanegin shot at 25, made 12, while Collins got 9. 
Some ten years ago, George Trent was often seen at 
the traps. He has just opened up, and Brainerd, Minn., 
his home town, is celebrating his win at Duluth. 
The Ames, la., Gun Club held a special shoot Wednes¬ 
day last week, and the members made good averages. 
There have been challenges sent in by other clubs, but 
the club cannot accept at once, owing to other business. 
W. T. Watson and W. Higgins, of Chicago, will shoot 
a match at Sangamon Park, Joliet, Aug. 12, for $100 a 
side. 
The McLean County Gun Club held a successful shoot 
at the South Side grounds, Blomington. III., Thursday. 
Crothers won Class A with 24 out of 25; Evans and Davis 
tied on 19. 
The Woodmere, Mich., Gun Club held a shoot last 
week, to which all shooters are cordially invited. It is 
to be noticed that most all gun clubs are liberal; they 
do not form close corporations and bar every one else 
from participation. 
Chas. W. Budd will sojourn a month at Arnold’s Park, 
Lake Okoboji, la., and while there, will manage a three 
days’ tournament. There will be crack shots present 
from all over the country. 
B. W. Brown, Pittsburg, Kans., writes that the gun 
club will hold a tournament Sept. 3 and 4. 
Now there is a gun club at Harren, Ill., and there 
will be target shooting weekly. The officers are: Pres¬ 
ident, George McMinn; Secretary, Charles Schrumm. 
Announcement is made by the Whiting, Ind., Gun 
Club that a tournament is scheduled for Aug. 26. 
The weekly shoot of the Marshfield, Wis., Gun Club, 
held last Friday, at which Terry maintained his reputa¬ 
tion as a 90 per cent, shooter, with 63 out of 65 at 50 
targets. Scarmann 14, Lang 45, Kliner 37, Lind 34. 
The programme for the Danville, Ill., Gun Club tour¬ 
nament is out, and it will be of interest to shooters in 
that locality to know that the shoot will be held Aug. 23 
and 24, instead of 9 and 10, as first sent out. 
Curt Johnson won the cup with 41 out of 50 at the 
shoot at Tabor, la., last week, on Thursday; Roy 
Weatherhed second, 40, and Clarence Otis and Fred 
Wetherhead tied on 39. 
The president of the Hubbell Rod and Gun Club, 
Houghton, Mich., won the medal at the last shoot. 
His score was good, even though some of the best shots 
were out of town. If he can repeat that 23 out of 2b, 
even Mr. Hodges cannot take it away from him. 
At the regular shoot of the Proctor, Minn., Gun Club 
the shooters were: G. W. Ramshaw, Lyman Elberson 
and FI. D. Burnham. Some fair scores were made. 
That Iowa cup will be called into question shortly, m- 
as much as the Eldora Club has issued a challenge to 
shoot with the Marshalltown gang for its possession,. 
Marshalltown has E. G. Wallace, L. C. Abbott, C. I’. 
Cook and Dr. H. H. Nichols, and where in all Iowa will 
you get five men to beat these? 
During a practice shoot at Shokopee, Minn., on- 
Wednesday evening, John Theis made 23 out of 25, and 
Peter Plouman 22. 
The Tomah, Wis., Gun Club was too much for the- 
Winona boys on their meet of last Tuesday. Shooting at 
170 targets, W. H. Schultz scored 144, W. H. Reynolds. 
143, C. IT. Wiklund 145, C. D. Johnson 147, and E. E-

The new and booming club at Marion, Ind., will soon 
have new ground, same to be located in Sweetser Park, 
within walking distance of the business center of the 
city.

nesota, easily defeated Le Sueur. Scores: Kelso 103, 
Le Sueur 59. 
The shooters of Eagle Grove, la., are boasting of their 
victory over the Algona, la., team. The score was 249
