Garfield Gun Club. 
Chicago, Sept. 29.—The appended scores were made 
on our grounds to-day on the occasion of the second 
trophy shoot of the fourth series. In the club trophy 
event Stone and Ford tied in Class A on 20; Thomas won 
in Class C also on 20; no B man in contest. 
In the Dupont cup shoot Dr. Meek won in Class A 
on 14; Thomas won in Class C on 10; no B man in con¬ 
test. 
The day was an exceedingly trying one for target 
shooting, there being a strong wind and very gusty, 
making the targets soar and dip so badly that good scores 
were out of the question, owing to a heavy fall of rain. 
The attendance was very small.
