Roanoke G. C. 
Most of those who participated in the week-end 
shoot of the club, held on the afternoon of the 9th inst., 
concluded before leaving the grounds that it would have 
been wise to have brought their bathing suits and im¬ 
agined for the time being that they were attending the 
\\ esty Hogan shoot and taking a dip between events, for 
it rained and then continued to rain until the grounds 
were in better condition for a duck pond than a shooting 
club. 
Attention is called to the fact that the State tourna¬ 
ment is rapidly approaching, and it is hoped by the club 
that as many members as possibly can will take part in 
this shoot, and the club earnestly requests every member 
who can take part in this tournament to come out and 
get in good condition. 
The weekly trophies offered by the club were won 
by the following members: Scratch Class—Dr. L. G.

Nemours (Ladies) G. C. 
Just think of seventeen ladies destroying baked mud 
discs at one time. Where else but at Wilmington is 
such a thing probable—nowhere, as far as I know. On 
Aug. 6 the Nemours Gun Club turned out as above 
recorded, and tried to beat old Boreas at syncopation. 
In many cases Boreas won; but then he is so much older. 
The shooters were divided into three classes, A, B and 
C. Class A was topped by Miss Bessie Carson with 10 
out of 25. Class B—All superior fractions—was capitaled 
by Mrs. J. R. Bradley, 10 out of 25. Class C, with three 
beginners, had in upper register Miss C. Gentieu, who 
shot like a Diana, excepting she used a 20-gauge gun 
instead of a bow and arrow. Her breakage amounted 
tc 14 out of 25—some shooting, gentlemen. Scores fol¬ 
low, for which we thank Miss Harriet Hammond, presi¬ 
dent of this excellent organization:

Lock Haven G. C. 
Lock Haven, Pa., Aug. 9.—When C. C. Farnum, of 
Wellsville, N. Y., on the morning of Aug. 5 fired the 
first shot in the ninth annual target tournament of the 
Lock Haven Gun Club, he opened the most suc¬ 
cessful shoot ever held by this hustling club, and in 
many respects one of the best shoots held in the State 
this season The tournament of the Lock Haven Club 
is now looked upon as one of the leading shoots of the 
country, and the entries are second to none, and the 
opinion of the 65 shooters present, is that next year there 
will be from 80 to 100 shooters at the Lock Haven tour¬ 
nament. 
The weather was all that cou'd be asked, and the 
conditions were ideal for shooting, which enabled the 
contestants to put up some good scores. 
The free chicken dinner and all other good things 
which were provided for the shooters was greatly en¬ 
joyed by all. , 
F. Wright, of South Wales, N. V., was higli ama¬ 
teur; E. Hellyer, Jr., of Alexander, Pa., and F. Guinz- 
berg, of Du Bois, Pa., tied for second place. 
H. D. Gibbs, carried off high professional honors, 
with J. M. Hawkins a close second. 
The promiscuous three-man team race for three silver 
cups proved to be interesting and novel. The three 
cups put up for the amateurs was won by R. H. Stewart, 
president of the Lock Haven Club; F. Wright, of South 
Wales, N. Y., and F. Guinzberg, of DuBois, Pa. There 
were ten amateur teams entered in the race. 
The team race for the professionals was won by H. 
D. Gibbs, J. C. Garland and Geo. Hassom. None of 
the contestants in the various teams knew who they 
were shooting with on the team until the race was over. 
The shoot was one big success from start to finish. 
There were over 22,000 targets trapped without one 
moment’s delay on the traps. The Lock Haven Gun 
Club are now making arrangements for their tenth 
annual tournament, which will be held early in August, 
1914. The scores, 175 targets each day, follow:

Elwood G. C. 
Elwood, Md., Aug. 5.—The registered shoot of the 
Elwood Gun Club, held to-day, was eminently successful. 
The shooting was good, as the scores which follow 
show. There were 7,000 targets trapped, of which Hick¬ 
man broke 185 for top gun, Wagner 183 for second with 
Edmonson only one behind. The following scores of 
the day show that some mighty handy men were on 
the firing line -

Owing to the fact that Mr. Yietmeyer accommodatingly 
cashiered the shoot at the request of the club and. was 
kept busy with his clerical work, doubtless accounts 
for the fact that he did not make a higher score. 
Greenwich G. C. 
Greenwich, Conn., Aug. 2.—It was all class here to¬ 
day and a more congenial bunch of aerosaucer extermi¬ 
nators seldom gets together. Joe Donovan, out for the 
first time since he got a kink in his thinking director, 
shot four events and got a glad hand. Mrs. F. M. 
Rodgers and Miss Boles made up the co-educational de-
