In spite of the extremely hot weather on Aug. 18 there 
was a very good attendance at the grounds. The sixth 
contest in the Peters trophy series was shot this week, 
and Herman led with a score of 56; Barker came second 
with 54. Herman was also high gun in the 100-target 
race, breaking 84, Johnson giving him a- close run and 
finishing with 83. Bullerdick made the best score of the 
day, breaking 91 out of 100 in the team, he and Gambell 
defeating Fultz and Barker by 178 to 174, without the 
help of the handicap of 5 allowed them. The Labor 
Day shoot will be on the same lines as that of July 4. 
The shooters divided according to class, and high man 
in each squad taking first money. No merchandise 
prizes will be given. Falk and Bonser attended the 
Evansville, Ind., tournament on their way to Denver. 
In practice (Nottingham went straight in one of the 
25-target events and got 47 out of 55 shot at. Tuttle and 
French did not get out until late, and shot until dark. 
Ohio Trap Notes. 
The regular weekly handicap shoot in the series of 
prize contests of the Greenville Gun Club was held on 
Aug. 13, with nine members present. Fout was high man 
with 51, which included his handicap of 11; Baker (10), 
49; McCaughey (6), 48; Kirby (0), 44; Wolf (11), and 
Hartgell (7), 43 each; Edson (9), 47; Smith (15), 33; 
Huddle (3), 32. Kirby, the only scratch man, was high 
in actual breaks with 44; McCaughey, second, with 42. 
The Trenton Gun Club enjoyed fine weather for their 
regular semi-monthly shoot on Aug. 11, and the at¬ 
tendance was good. In the medal contest Clark, from 
18yds., won with 48; Heckman, 46; Baron and Baker, 45 
each; Shanny, 44; Kerr, from 19yds., and Harvey, 41 
each; Neimeyer, 35; I. Smith, 31; D. Smith, 27. __ All 
stood at 16yds., with the exception of Clark and Kerr. 
In the practice event Barron was high with 40 out of 
45. Clark missed but one target out of 25 shot at. 
Harvey and C. Kerr made straight scores in a 20-target 
event. 
The Springfield Gun Club has been doing very little 
shooting this summer. But four of the members met at 
the grounds on Aug. 11 and indulged in their favorite 
sport. Poole was high man with 80 out of 100; Hender¬ 
son, 79; Winkler, 50. Morgan shot at 25 and broke 15. 
Nineteen shooters took part in the weekly shoot of 
the Northern Kentucky Gun Club on Aug. 12. T. W. 
Gould cup was won by Dr. C. L. Hill, who defeated 
Bert Fee, and was at once challenged by George Frost. 
On Aug. 11 a large number of the Cleveland Gun Club 
members were present at the annual manager’s reception 
shoot, which was the most successful of its kind in 
the history of the club. The programme consisted of 
a 50-target event, nineteen entries, and one at 100 targets, 
four entries. 
In the 50-target event Pocock and Tryon tied for first 
on 47. In the 100-target race Tryon was high with 96, 
which included a run of 44 straight in the last 50 tar¬ 
gets. He was high for the day with 143 out of 150. Doo¬ 
little was second in this match with 93; Pocock, 92; 
Hogen, 80. 
Veterans’ day at the Cleveland Gun Club on Aug. 15 
proved to be one of the pleasantest and most successful 
events ever pulled off on the club’s grounds. The at¬ 
tendance of “old-timers” was far in excess of what had 
been expected, for over thirty-five were on hand when 
the sport began, besides a good number of active mem¬ 
bers and not a few ladies. Levi Wherry, a youngster 
of 67, who has shot very few times in the last dozen 
years, broke 22 out of 25. His eye is as true and his 
aim as good as when he used to lead the club back in 
the nineties. Most of those present had not held a gun 
in their hands for ten or fifteen years, and many of them 
did not care to try their luck with smokeless powder, 
lighter guns and other new fangled arrangements, but 
over twenty entered and most of them made good scores. 
Jacob Schlug, one of the organizers of the club twenty- 
six years ago, to be in keeping with the spirit of the 
day, brought out some old shells which were relics of 
the day fifteen years ago, when he last shot at the 
traps. The black smoke and loud report carried the 
memory back to the old days of black powder when a 
shooting match was like a Fourth of July celebration. 
Schlug broke 8 out of 15 targets. Wm. Sweetman, shoot¬ 
ing for the first in twenty years, got 10 out of 15. E. 
H. Galt, who shot for the first time in twelve years, also 
got 10. Of the nine charter members of the club, D. C. 
Powers, F. A. Tamblyn, Jacob Schlug and Manager F. 
ri. Wallace, to 'whom the success of the club is largely 
due, were among the contestants. The old boys en¬ 
joyed themselves thoroughly, and many stories of the 
old days were told, when this or that man shot 50 
straight. A stiff wind from the east interfered with the 
targets to some extent, and caused low scores in the 
first event at 10 targets, but the scores improved later 
as the wind died out and conditions became ideal. Of 
those shooting at 25 targets, J. A. Prechtel was high 
with 25; D. A. Savage, 23; Levi Wherry, 22; R. C. 
Hopkins, 20; A. Forrester, 20; W. S. Bookwalter, 22; S. 
S. Saffold, 22; Wallace, 17; Chamberlain, 14; F. A. 
Tamblyn, 14; James Wood 10; C. M. Roof, 16; D. C. 
Powers, 13; E. H. Galt, 16; W. Sweetman, 15; T. B. 
Sherman, 18.
