WESTERN TRAP.

The secretary of the Boon, la., Gun Club reports the 
shoot held Thanksgiving Day was a very successful one, 
and the guns were popping from 9 A. M. until 1 P. M., 
when the shoot was declared off for the big dinner, 
which was much enjoyed by all those present. 
Members of the Omaha, Neb., Police Force who took 
part in a bluerock shoot at the Gun Club grounds were 
not the marksmen they are supposed to be, and were 
ashamed of their own score cards. 'Those present at¬ 
tributed their failure to the dark sky, but they are sup¬ 
posed to be able to shoot down dark alleys at any time 
of night. 
Breemer, Neb., reports having held a team shoot with 
Wisner, the latter winning with small majority of 5, 
Simonson and Thompson being the stars. Sixteen men 
shot as follows: John Sieverson 24, out of 25, Thompson 
(25) 24, Fisher (25) lfi, Emley (25) 13, W. P. Mangold (35) 
27, Joe Heald (35) 25, John Glandt (35) 27, J. M. Sulli¬ 
van (15) 8 , Simmons (10) 6 , H. Conrad (15) 10, Edward 
McNamara (15) 11, Joseph McNamara (15) 11, B. Gal- 
lager (10) 7, George Gardner (10) 7, George Woods (10) 
6 , William Smith (10) 7, Emil Grosse (10) 6 , W. H. Hill 
( 10 ) 6 . 
The shooting men of the Des Moines, la.. Golf and 
Country Club are still enthusiastic over the target shoot¬ 
ing, though the game season is at hand. 
There was quite an attraction in the way of a trap 
contest on Thursday last at the grounds of the Corner 
Rod and Gun Club, Fort Wayne, Ind. The much-talked- 
of match between Jimmy Gardner and Otto Seiloff was 
a fluke. Seiloff failed on every target, while Gardner did 
better, getting 5 out of 10. Max Witz was the high man. 
Names and scores follow: Max Witz shot at 125, scored 
93, August Witte (125) 83, Thomas Dascomb (125) 80,

A proposition is now on foot to have the great shoot¬ 
ing park at Chicago, known as the Chicago Gun Club. 
With the investment of $17,000 in grounds and equip¬ 
ment, the Chicago trapshooters feel that the Interstate 
Shooting Association 'should hold the next handicap at 
the Windy City. The secretary of this Association has 
been in New York for this purpose. 
We are pleased to note that interest is not lagging in 
the shoots held at Pueblo, Colo., and part of this comes 
through the loving cup donated by Alderman Riger. 
In the 'shoot held last Thursday Messrs. Killen, Croft 
and Ruger tied on 25 with 22, with Raymond Killin, a 
boy of eleven years, a close second. This youngster in 
another event ran out a straight 10 , which was not 
equalled by any of the older men who shot in the same 
event. Scores at 25 targets: Killin 22, R. Killin 20, 
Croft 22, Roger 22, lleil 19, Rainey 19, Klein 15, Stein 17, 
Burrows 15, Gray 18, McGee 16, Hughes 21. 
Local marksmen had a fine opportunity to enjoy their 
favorite sport at the Rush House grounds, Detroit, 
Thursday last, the prizes being merchandise of great 
variety. 
Some members of the Detroit, Mich., Gun Club made

Danvis Books. 
These books have taken their place as classics in the 
literature of New England village and woods life. Mr. 
Robinson’s characters are peculiar, quaint and lovable; 
one reads of them now with smiles and now with tears 
(and need not be ashamed to own to the tears). Mr. 
Robinson write? of nature with marvelous insight; his is 
the ready word, the phrase, to make a bit of landscape, a 
scene of outdoors, stand out clear and vivid like a 
startling flashing out from the reader’s own memory.
