WESTERN TRAP. 
In Other PI aces. 
On account of the duck season being near at hand 
many of the Pueblo. Colo., shooters turned out at the 
last practice shoot to get their eye on ’em. At 25 targets 
Reger broke 23, Kell in 14, Fritz 20, McCafferty 18, Gray 
19, Reynolds 18, Tillman 16, Douglas 17, Graham 21, 
Hughes 22, Croft 23. 
Gus Neff, Veedersburg, Ill., has started a gun club. 
Fie will hold a tournament and has invited John E. Long, 
president of the Danville Club, to assist in the organiza¬ 
tion of the new club. Illinois is a big state, and the 
big corn crop there will justify the boys in having some 
fun with the shotgun. 
Shooting at # Richmond, Ya., is now on the increase. 
At the last meeting of the club the events were not all 
finished, as darkness set in, as there were shooters enough 
for two sets of traps. One of the things worth mention¬ 
ing in this connection is that P. YV. Payne has not shot 
at 500 targets, and yet he is now making 90 per cent, 
scores. Those shooting at 75 to-day had scores as follows: 
S. Janowski 71, P. \Y. Payne 66, Winchester 65, J. A. 
Anderson 65, Wiley Lawrence 65, James Tignor 64, P. J. 
Flippen 60, H. Brown 58, Walsh 56, Stone 52, John 
Pigeon 50, Monty 50. 
It was a great day for the Fort Wayne leaguers on 
Sunday last, as a full team was out from each club. 
Fort Wayne Gun Club defeated the Independents and 
then the Broadway chib beat the old and well-known 
rod and gun club. Scores: VwSyne 191, Independents 
159, Broadway 165, Corner Rod and Gun Club 131. This 
is a forerunner for next year, when these contests will 
run through the season as a League. These clubs are 
mostly composed of Germans, and they shoot on Sunday. 
Morton has won out over Kleinhaus at the medal 
shoot at Topeka, Kans., and now that Kleinhaus is not 
satisfied, there will be another match, and possibly the 
club .will be enabled to put the trophy into competition 
again. 
Chas. R. White,' Belton, Tex., won the prize at the 
last shoot held at Temple by outscoring Livingston on 
the tie. None of the - scores were very high, but then the 
shooters are enthusiastic and will improve. Scores at °5 
targets: White 17, Livingston 17, Booker 16, Kendall 15, 
Campbell 13, Jarrell 13, Jackson 7, Sherrill 6, Cox 5. 
Mr. Gary Arehart, a prominent member of the Chicago 
Gun Club, was a visitor last week at his old home, Ham¬ 
ilton, O., where lie was welcomed by the shooters of 
that burg. 
Now comes the information that the gun club at Mus¬ 
catine, la., has awakened from its slumbers, and will hold 
a shoot at the old Robing Mill site. Last year there were 
some good scores made, and the prospects are bright for 
the future if the man with the push is elected is leader. 
There is something doing in the old town of Vincennes, 
Ind., as shoots are held weekly on the fair grounds. 
Members of the Mishawaka, Ind., Gun Club, met

tary; George Eberhart, treasurer. The club propose to 
secure new grounds and push the shooting more vigor¬ 
ously during the coming year. 
The East End Gun Club, Davenport, la., is keeping up 
regular practice shoots, having now a valuable trophy to 
shoot for, and that brings out a full delegation of its 
members.

leas-ed the lake south of town and the shooters not mem¬ 
bers will be barred from that old historic grounds in the 
future.

Sunday during each month at targets. 
About forty shooters were out at the tournament held 
at YVahpeton, N. D., last week. Some of the scores were 
wonderful, as western men have plenty of opportunity 
for shooting in the field as well as at the traps. Dr. 
Allen, of Staples, made a run of 94 straight, and 97 per 
cent for the two days. Mr. Martin, of Aberdeen, was 
second with 90 per cent, Dan Morrison was present, but

farm of Chas. Daniel, where the trap has been put in 
place. As there are now forty-five members, all en¬ 
thusiasts, it is expected that this will prove to be. the 
leading club of the city. The officers are: President, 
Chas. Erickson; vice-president, Henry Faustgen; secre¬ 
tary, and treasurer, James YVinstanley; recording secre¬ 
tary, C. E. Yogtman. and captain, Charles L. Aubach.

day and show them to you, by Jove. 
Mrs. Madison Squeer—Ah, then, you still have the

Delaware State Tournament. 
The tournament of the Delaware Trapshooters’ League 
was a one-day affair. It was held on the grounds of the 
Wawaset Gun Club, under the auspices of the Blue Ball 
Gun Club. Owing to several circumstances, it was hur¬ 
riedly arranged, so much so, indeed, that there was not 
the necessary time to give it the publicity essential to 
drawing a large attendance from near and far. 
'lhe weather was clear and cool, and the strong west 
wind, which blew across the traps from right to left, 
was laden with a chill which made overcoats a desider¬ 
atum. It also made the targets wild and erratic of flight, 
the right-quarterers in particular climbing upward so rast 
that they escaped many a well-meant load. The light was 
good and the day was mot unpleasant. Competition 
began shortly before 10 o’clock. Thirty-six shooters took 
part in the sweepstake events, of which there were 
eleven, six at 15 and five at 20 targets, the latter con¬ 
stituting the 100-target contest for the individual cham¬ 
pionship. The scores at the 100 targets, made by the 
sixteen contestants were as follows: Reed 66, Richardson 
77, Terry 79, Evans 67, Squier 92, Foord 91, McKelvey 84, 
Edmonson 80, Tuchton 72, Melchior 69, Skelly 85, Koerner 
57, Talley 57, Springer 68, Hill 73, George Edmonson 53. 
Thus, while Mr. L. J. Squier was victor on a good score, 
92, he was closely pressed for the honors by Mr. Wm. 
M. Foord, who was only one target less than the victor, 
who had to break his last 20 straight to win. 
The five-man team championship contest had four 
entrants, Wawaset, Dover, Wilmington and Blue Ball. 
Y\ awaset scored 19S out of* a possible 250. Messrs. Rich¬ 
ardson and Foord made high individual scores, 46, in 
the team contest. The scores:

The professionals present were Messrs. Neaf Apgar, 
J. M. Hawkins, Baltimore; L. S. German, L. J. Squier, 
J. T. Skelly and F. E. Butler. 
Mrs. YV. K. Park shot through the greater part of the 
programme, and considering the difficult targets and the 
little practice she has had of late, she scored well. 
Messrs. Squier and German tied for high average on 
176 out of a possigle 190. Mr. YV. M. Foord was second 
with 170 and Mr. J. Mow-ell Hawkins was third with 165. 
The cashier’s department was run by Mr. L. J. Squier 
in the skillful and prompt manner for which he is famous. 
He was a busy man much of the time between shooting 
and attending to the office work, yet he was as unper¬ 
turbed at all times as if he w^as enjoying the sunshine of 
a May morning. The scores in the sweepstake events
