WESTERN TRAP. 
In Other Places. 
Last Monday night the much-heralded game supper was 
given by the members of the Manistee, Mich., Gun Club. 
Labon Peters and his associates, who furnished the 
spread, were congratulated by those present, as they 
were delighted with the variety of game served and the 
necessities of a banquet. No set speeches were pro¬ 
vided; instead, each told his story to his companions 
as he smoked his Havana. 
Members of the Stout, la., Gun Club invited members 
of the Waterloo Club to join them on Thursday last for 
the purpose of deciding the ownership of a large supply 
of turkeys, geese and ducks. 
An old-fashioned turkey contest was held by the mem¬ 
bers of the Omaha, Neb., Field Club on Thanksgiving. 
The guns were disposed of and the golf match ga'me was 
substituted. 
There was something doing at the Tampica, la.. Gun 
Club on last Thursday, as the members met at 10 o’clock 
to smash out a few targets: 
Cobbs Lake, near Bedford, la., was the scene of a 
spirited turkey shoot on Thanksgiving Day. 
Some of the members of the Capital City Gun Club, 
Little Rock, Ark., are holding to their desire for the 
breaking of targets, despite the fact that the game 
season is on, as regular shoots are being held. 
During the last meet of the Au Sable, Mich., Gun 
Club, Dr. Fitzgerald carried off the high medal for the 
best score. 
Marksmen of the counties of Randolph, Mercer and 
Drake met at Saratoga, la., on Wednesday last and 
a contest for turkeys was held. 
In the side team shoot that occurred at Manistee, 
Mich., the scores were: Peters team—George Woodrow 
300, Roy Nickerson 200, Owen Solomon 100, L. Peters 
505; F. L. Haynes 140, F. N. Edie 125, Robt. Ramsdell 
205, Roy London 460; total 2035. Louis Foutzloff’s team— 
George Overpack 155, Harry Whipple 40, S. Bolls 20, 
John Wagner 235, J. D. Bertrand 200, Julius Lemberg 
220, Ernest John 300, C. B. Jantoff 350. Gus Holmes 20, 
Albert Fleissner 15, Jacob Hanselman 100, Ward Leonard 
200, Jerry Grimes, 20; total 2105. In all there were 34 
partridges, 18 rabbits and 38 squirrels in the game bag. 
Nels Thompson and F. W. Crane did not reach the 
office in time to have their scores counted, and that 
would have made Peters’ team the winner. 
Shooting clubs rise with the springtime and often fall 
at the opening of the game season. Most of these w.lio 
fail may attribute same to shooting too much, until the 
members find that,they have spent too much money at 
the game. One of the new clubs that has not gone 
back is the Marion, Ind., Club. The annual meeting 
disclosed a renewed interest, and the club will now buy, 
own and control its own grounds, and will erect a 
suitable club house, and during the early spring another 
large tournament will be held. The officers selected are: 
President, Harry Creviston; vice-president, Hilton Fullis; 
secretary, Harvey McClellan; treasurer, Frank Howard; 
field captain. Beech F.dmiston; assistant field captain, 
Andy Shrock. 
For (he first time in several years there was no shoot 
on Thanksgiving Day at the Indianapolis Gun Club 
grounds. There have been so many shoots this year that 
the officers thought best to abandon the holiday attrac¬ 
tion, as many of the enthusiasts are spending a part of 
their time at quail shooting, which is now good in south¬ 
ern Indiana, 
Information comes from Hammond, Ind., that the great 
Tolleston Gun Club will be closed out owing to the en¬ 
croachment of civilization augmented by the steel works. 
Land that cost $5 per acre is now worth $1,500, and 
same will be drained and sold for town lots. 
The regular shoot of the Ames, la., Gun. Club, for the 
silver cup was held Thursday last, and a large crowd 
was reported as present. 
Last week saw the close of the McLean County Gun 
Club at Bloomington, Ill. The special prizes for the 
season were distributed, and the grounds will be de¬ 
serted during the winter, save that on New Year’s Day 
and Washington’s Birthday there will be a sweepstake 
shoot for all members and visitors. 
Last Monday occurred the annual election of the 
Corner Rod and Gun Club, Fort Wayne, Ind. D. C. 
Stout was elected president; Nicholas Klug, vice-presi¬ 
dent; John Y. Linker, secretary; H. Witte, treasurer; 
A. H. Freeze. Ed. M. Evans, Chas. Meager, trustees,

The newly elected officers of the Cascade Gun Club, 
Burlington, la., are: President, T. P. Kielley; vice- 
president, Earl Wicks; secretary, W. H. Wardon; treas¬ 
urer, J. Hussell. 
A very good shoot was held at Columbus, O., on 
Saturday last. Tt was the best attended of any since 
the close of the season and the opening of the game 
season. At 100 targets John Buchanan broke 89 Mr. 
Weston 87, H. E Smith 88 , Treat 72, Hall 75, Denison 
70. Leatherman 72, Shaw_73, Wood 74. 
There were many shooting matches at East St. Louis, 
Ill., Thursday last, viz.: Godin Bros., Pravue Dupont, 
John Wuest, Dew Drop Saloon; George Wuest, Cahokia 
road and Cinder lane; Joke Sommer, Rose Lake Park. 
Abundant refreshments were on tap at each place, and a 
good time was offered to all participants. 
The Western Heights Shooting Club, a new organiza¬ 
tion of Cleveland, O., held their opening shoot at West 
Park Thursday last. Suitable prizes and a good time 
was the result, with Mr. Kludtz as manager.. 
• The Northwestern Gun Club, Argyle, Ill., will hold a 
meeting Friday next to elect the officers. 
The Sunset Gun Club, of Steamboat Rocks, la., is 
keeping up in the practice shoots. 
The monthly live-bird shoots of the Hales Corner Gun 
Club, of Milwaukee are attracting much attention during 
the fall months. They will be kept up during the winter 
months. 
The Grove Gun Club, met last Saturday, and with 
favorable weather, there was a full attenflance. Carl 
Wiese, Jr., was high gun; A. Klazz second and Jacobs 
third. All shooters are cordially invited to shoot with 
this club at Detroit, Mich. Shooting at 25 targets, Kus- 
ter broke 12, Schafer 13, Frost 7, Wiese, Jr., 21, Cahoon

Jackson Park Gun Club. 
Paterson, N. J., Dec. 1.—The Thanksgiving Dav shoot 
was a disappointment, as far as the attendance of shoot¬ 
ers was concerned, but otherwise it was a great success. 
The club made every known preparation for a large 
and what they thought would be one of the biggest 
shoots that the club had ever handled, but those who 
had labored for the success of it were very much dis¬ 
appointed at the slim attendance of shooters. A great 
many letters and postals were sent out, and many replies 
to the same were received, but those who replied failed 
to put in an appearance for some reason or other. The 
Paterson shooters were even more lacking in club pride 
than those spoken of above, as the club members to the 
number of eight put in an appearance at the grounds 
and took part in the. shooting. 
The amateur handicap championship, which promised 
to be such a high class affair, was what might be termed 
a complete failure, as far as the entries were concerned. 
There were fourteen shooters who had given their prom¬ 
ise that they would take part in this event up to Nov. 24, 
and the eight spoken of above were on hand to compete-. 
We waited till about 1:45 P. M. for more entries to the 
100 -shot match, and they failed to come, and some of 
those who had come said that they would not enter a 
championship shoot with such a small entry, but would 
gladly shoot 100 shots for the price of targets, and there 
were ten shooters who came up to the score, and it 
proved a very lively shooting affair. The_1000 shots were 
finished at 2:55, actual shooting time, 55 minutes. It 
was seen that two or three of the men were doing some 
great shooting, and after the finish it was in doubt who 
was in the lead. It proved to be J. A. R. Elliott with 
95 out of the 100, and 7 misses out of 155. John Y. Doty, 
of the home club, was a good second, with 94; Van 
Horn came along with 84, then Radcliff with 80, and 
A. Doty 79. Aaron was at a great disadvantage, as he 
only shoots once or twice a year now, as his business 
will not allow the time to practice. 
The attendance of visitors during the afternoon was 
all that could be expected, and everybody was pleased 
with the shooting and the way the club entertained 
them. Plenty of lunch and refreshments for everybody. 
There were several lady visitors during the afternoon, 
and we were pleased to see them, and the club will be 
pleased to welcome them at all shoots.

Keystone Gun Club. 
Lebanon, Pa., Nov. 29. —The members of the Keystone 
Gun Club to-day held their first shoot since the opening 
of the November hunting season. A very high wind 
was hard on the scores; this, together with little practice 
at the traps lately, as field shooting and trap shooting 
do not mix very well. Two visitors, one from Lancaster, 
Mr. H. E. Anderson, although sixty-one years of age, 
shot as good and better than a good many others, and 
the other Mr. II. Inks, a charter member, now residing in 
Harrisburg, Pa. The boys were very glad to meet 
their old-time friends and request another meeting in 
the near future. Jones and Cochran divided honors in 
the live-bird events, while Hansell, Hunter, Slymerson 
and Krause were leaders respectively in the target events. 
As the game season has come to a close, the boys will 
this winter devote considerable time to practice, in view 
of retaining some of the valuable prizes to be given at 
the next Pennsylvania State shoot, to be held here in 
May. The scores:
