SEA GIRT—THE WIMBLEDON TROPHY MATCH. 
WESTERN TRAP. 
Cincinnati, O., Gun Club. 
The ninth contest for the Peters trophy was shot on 
Sept. 8. l'he weather was fine, but the attendance was 
small, as quite a few cf the regulars are away fishing or 
hunting. Ackley was looking on, but is not yet able 
to take his place on the firing line. 
Kerry has just returned from a two months’ stay in 
Michigan, and his scores show that he did not forget 
how to shoot while handling a rod. Bcnser, as usual, 
was high, his score, 56. Bullerdick, who is shooting well, 
was second with 54. 'In a match he broke 49 out of 
50. Gambell is getting so he breaks ’em nearly all, 91 
in a 100-target race might be worse, and in the team 
match he beat Bonser by 3 targets, with 47 out of 50. 
Not much . practice was indulged in, Gambell being 
high with 143 out of 160. Bullerdick and Pohlar 102 
each out of 125. The scores:

Chicago, Sept. 8. — The appended scores were made on

shoot of the third series. In the club trophy event, 
\V. Einfeldt won Class A on 25 straight; Thomas, Class 
B on 22; T. L. Smedes, Class C on 24. 
In the Dupont cup event, which followed, W. Ein¬ 
feldt won in Class A on 13, Dr. Meek Class I> on 15 
straight, and Al. Smedes Class C on 15 straight also. 
W. Einfeldt easily carried off the honors of the day 
by breaking 97 out of 100. 
The day was an ideal one for target shooting, being 
pleasantly warm and but little wind. The light was bad, 
however, owing to a heavy' smoke bank from the city, 
making a bad background.

Sept. 1.—The appended scores were made on our 
grounds to-day on the occasion of the fifth trophy shoot 
of the third series. In this event George won in Class 
A, Herr in Class B, and A. Smedes in Class C, each on 
20. In the Dupont cup shoot, McDonald won in Class 
A on 12; Thomas in Class B on 12, and T. L. Smedes 
in Class C on 13. 
Shooting conditions were very unpleasant, as a strong 
and gusty head wind blew the powder residue back into 
the eyes, as well as making the flight of the targets 
very erratic. Quite a number of our members are away 
to the Dakotas and to other shooting fields, after chick¬ 
ens and ducks, and more are going this week, conse¬ 
quently the attendance is not up to standard. Scores:

Ohio Trap Notes. 
For the first time since early spring a shoot was held 
on Aug. 29 at the Rohrer’s Island Gun Club grounds, of 
Dayton. A number of delegates to the National Florists’ 
convention were the guests, and every gun club in the 
city was represented. First on the programme came 
three 25-target sweeps, and McConnell, of Osborn, was 
high with 52; Rodgers, 41. Thirteen men took part in 
one or more of the events. In the 100-target race, which 
followed, McConnell was high with 84, Lain 83, Oldt 78, 
Schwind 75, Ike 76, Hanauer and Carr 73 each, Miller 72, 
Hippard 65, Altick 64, Ilodapp 57, Brown and Schaerf 55 
each, Rodgers 53, Seybold 38. 
To-day’s shoot seems to have revived the interest in 
the sport, which has been decidedly dead in Dayton this 
year, and it is likely that there will be at least one 
more good time at the grounds probably on Sept. 12 
or 19. Shooting at doubles to-day, Carr broke 15 out 
of 12 pairs, Rodgers 13, Cain 12, Schwind 7, Brown 6. 
The Greenville Gun Club entertained Annie Oakley and 
her husband, Mr. Frank Butler, on Aug. 25, at the 
club grounds, and had the best shoot of the season. 
Miss Oakley’s girlhood home is in a village near Green¬ 
ville, and she is consequently well known in that vicinity 
and has a host of friends. A crowd of over 300 gentle¬ 
men and ladies greeted her, and applauded her heartily 
throughout her exhibition of fancy shotgun and rifle 
shooting. The spectators came in autos and carriages, 
the ladies in light summer attire and without hats, as 
it was excessivelv hot. Miss Oakley broke all the 
single targets thrown, and then gave an exhibition of 
shooting at doubles, finishing this part of her programme 
by breaking five targets thrown simultaneously. She gave 
the usual exhibition of hitting metal discs, about the 
size of a silver dollar, thrown into the air. She then put 
twenty consecutive shots, firing offhand, within a 1%- 
inch circle drawn on a card which her husband held in 
his hand, at 20yds. distance. A card held edgewise by 
Mr. Butler was cut in two by the bullet. 
In a match at 15 targets, between Frank Butler and 
IT. A. McCaughey, the latter won 14 to 13. Shooting at 
50 targets, McCaughey was again victorious, scoring 42 
to Butler’s 34. A 25-target sweep, $1 entrance, 3 moneys, 
ended the day’s sport, Baker 24, Butler 21, Wolf 20,
