Cosmopolitan G. C. 
Manila, P. I., Aug. 11. —A good crowd gathered at 
the Cosmopolitan Gun Club grounds yesterday, and 
enjoyment and good fellowship filled the atmosphere. 
The club is composed mostly of Manila merchants, who. 
take this innocent and healthful way of getting recrea¬ 
tion from the cares of business. 
F. H. Thompson seemed to have a mortgage on 
about everything that was flving. He took first in the 
scratch event, making 23 out of 25—making a straight 
run of 18 bluerocks. In the handicap he managed to 
break another 23 out of 25, with another straight run 
of 19 aerosaueers busted. In the snipe contest, he tied 
three other shooters with 18 “deads” to- his. credit, but 
in the shoot-off he had to be satisfied with fourth 
prize. The following are 
the scores:

Analostan G. C. 
Washington, D. C., Sept. 14.—The registered tourna¬ 
ment of the Analostan Gun Club, held yesterday, was a 
success. Forty-two shooters were in attendance, includ¬ 
ing twelve professionals. The day was unusually cool. 
The shooting of Messrs. Gibbs anil German was remark¬ 
able. A strong head wind prevailed all day, and while it 
tumhled the scores of the amateurs, did not affect those 
veterans oi many contests. Mr. German missed his 101st 
target. It was hit hard, but had to be scored lost. Mr. 
Gibbs missed his 139th. 
Messrs. Ford and Morgan, of the home club, tied 
for high amateur average, each scoring 141. Jos. H. 
Hunter was in the 438 hole, and Mr. Etchison, a visitor 
from Gaithersburg, came next. 
The club donated $50 in addition to that received from 
the Interstate Association, and in addition to this, spent 
$40 for merchandise prizes, which were contested for 
free of charge to the participants, including targets.

Nemours (Ladies) G. C. 
Wilmington, Del., Sept. 17. —“What is- that shoot¬ 
ing I hear?” asks a stranger on the Rising Sun car, 
who is being taken around the loop to see the beauties 
of the Brandywine. “The ladies of the Nemours Gun 
Club,” answers her friend, “are out for their weekly 
shoot. I understand these shoots are very interesting. 
Suppose we get off at the covered bridge and go up to 
the club house for a little while and watch them. The 
balcony is fitted up for visitors, so I am sure we will 
be welcome.” 
“Oh, I should love to,” answers her friend. “I 
have often been to the gun club with my husband, and 
I understand pretty well about the scores and handicaps, 
but I have never shot myself, nor have I ever seen 
ladies shoot. \\ hat beautiful country.” she remarks, as 
they proceed up the hill, “and how delightfully fresh 
the air is; this certainly is an ideal place to spend an 
afternoon. There are some of the shooters now, just 
start'ng out, so let’s hurry.” 
A squad of Class A shooters advances to the firing 
line in a thoroughly business-like manner. “Pull,” says 
No. 1—a bluerock flies from the trap. Bang. “Dead,” 
calls the referee. No. 2 tries her luck, and also scores 
a break. Nos. 3, 4 and 5 are not so successful in the 
first round, but make it up as the shooting proceeds, 
and at the end of their 25 shots, show' some good scores. 
“You see the Class A shooters shoot at unknown 
angles,” explains a member who has welcomed the vis¬ 
itors, “those who will take their places at the firing line 
now are Class B, C and D shooters, who shoot only at 
straightaways. They will each shoot a round of 25.” 
“I don’t know that I have ever had a more enjoy¬ 
able afternoon,” remarks the stranger, as the last squad 
turns from the traps. “It makes me want. to learn to 
shoot myself, and if I do come to Wilmington to live, 
as I hope to do in a short time, I shall certainly join 
the Ladies’ Gun Club. Let us go down and see the 
scores.”

“Miss Moody is high, but this is a handicap event, 
and as she has a small handicap, she will not be in the 
shoot-off. Miss Carson and Mrs. Clark have tied, and 
have to shoot 10 targets each. Even though it is late, 
let’s stay and see who w’ins out,” exclaims the visitor 
to the hostess. 
The contestants get into position—Mrs. Clark shat¬ 
ters her first bird. Miss Carson misses. Mrs. Clark 
misses. Miss Carson scores a break. All hold their 
breath, for at the ninth target they have both scored 
the same number. At the tenth target, Mrs. Clark 
scores another break, but Miss Carson loses, probably 
through nervousness. The Major Ramsay medal is Mrs. 
Clark’s until the next shoot. Blue Bird. 
Santa Mesa G. C. 
The trapshooting contest held at the grounds of the 
Santa Mesa Gun Club, Sunday, Aug. 17, between that 
club and the Cosmopolitan Gun Club, both of Manila, 
was the most interesting event which has taken place 
at either club grounds for a long time. The contest 
was to decide who should be the permanent owner of 
the fine cup which had been put up as a prize. The 
Santa Mesa Club won the first of the three matches, and 
the shoot of last Sunday w'ould decide if it went to the 
Santa Mesa Club, or have to be shot for again. 
The clubs were so evenly matched that at no time 
during the contest was there a difference of five points, 
sometimes in favor of one club and then the other 
throughout the shooting. The appended scores show 
the Santa Mesa Club to have “killed” 390 blue rocks 
and the Cosmopolitan 3S9, the Santa Mesa Club gaining 
the cup by only cne “bird” out of 1000 chances. The fol¬ 
lowing is the score, 50 targets per man: 
Santa Messa Club. Cosmopolitan Club.

Lieut. Hodges walked off with high gun, making 
one miss and 24 straight, and 22 dead in the second 
half, a total of 46 out of 50. Miguel Yangco was second, 
going straight on the first 25 and breaking 20 in the 
second half, making a total of 45. Ramon del Bozo- 
tied Server with 43 cut of 50. Server made 19 
in the first string, missed the first bird and went 
straight for the remaining 24, making 43 out of 50. F. 
H. Thompson could not quite reach the high mark he 
made last Sunday of 46 out of 50, getting 41 out of 50 
this time. However, as he was third high for his club, 
and considering his frail build and delicate constitu¬ 
tion, we will refrain from criticizing him too severely 
and ask him to try and do better in the future.
