Cleveland G. C. 
Cleveland, O., Sept. 28.—The weekly club shoot of 
the Cleveland Gun Club, held yecterday, at Shooting 
Park, was somewhat interesting. The weather conditions 
were just right for the sport and brought out a number 
of new faces. The shooting was about average. High 
honor., for the day were divided between J. K. Blakes- 
lee and D. A. Williams. Each broke 93 out of 100, second 
going to C. E. Doolittle with 92. 
The shooting of ex-Manager F. H. Wallace is some¬ 
what encouraging to him since getting back into harness, 
for it has been very steady. He has taken part in thir¬ 
teen semi-annuals of 50 targets each, and has made the 
following scores: 43, 46, 44, 42, 44, 44, 44, 49, 48, 45, 45, 
43, 43, giving him a percentage of a fraction less than 90 
per cent. This is some shooting for one that is handi¬ 
capped as the ex-manager is. 
The club championship trophy, known as the presi¬ 
dent’s cup for 1913 is getting to be a warm contest be¬ 
tween J. R. Rlakeslee and C. E. Doolittle. They are 
trotting neck-and-neck, and both know it will take high 
average to win, and they are going at each other smiling 
and hoping the best man will win. That is the nice 
part of it, as every lover of the game should be true 
to each other.

The “'Old New England” bean bake and handicap at 
1 olumbus Gun (, lub, Sept. 27, was a great success. The 
interior of the club house was decorated with corn, golden 
rod and pumpkins, the beans being baked in the old- 
fashioned bean pots, served with brown bread, pumpkin 
pie and coffee, which was much enjoyed by all present. 
The first even was the gold medal handicap, 18 to 
^2yds., which was won by Mr. R. O. Burrer, of Sun- 
bury, Ohio, with the score of 47 from lSyds. The second 
event was the high cost of living handicap with fifteen 
prizes. First high gun was taken by Fred Shattuck with 
46 out of 50 from 21yds. Following are the scores: 
Mr. Pardee, of Chicago, and his friend, Mr. Mark- 
man, were visitors and arranged a little shoot between 
them for a 25-target race. Mr. Pardee won by a score 
of 17 to 16, using strange guns and neither having shot 
much recently.

\\ ilmington, Del., Sept. 29.—The State championship 
match between W. Schuyler Colfax, Jr., holder of the title, 
and J. 11. M innick, the challenger, was the big event 
here Saturday, though wire as he might, Happy Ham¬ 
mond couldn’t get away from Long Beach to see it. 
Colfax retained the title with a score of 91 out of 100. 
Minnick’s score was 86. Both were badly off form. 
In the first 25, Colfax had a clean score, while Min- 
nick broke 23. In the three succeeding runs of 25, Col¬ 
fax broke 24, 21 and 21, against 21, 22 and 20 for his com¬ 
petitor. Colfax has now won the title for the fifth time. 
J. B. McHugh has challenged Colfax for the champion¬ 
ship, and the match will be decided shortly. 
H. P. Clarion distinguished himself by making a run 
of 57 straight. Stanley Tuchton was the recipient of 
many congratulations on having won the championship 
of the 88 per cent, amateur class at the Westy Hogan 
shoot at Atlantic City last week. He had the handsome 
diamond trophy, which he received, on exhibition at the 
gun club office yesterday, and it was greatly admired.

A large and appreciative bunch of shooters faced 
the traps at the regular week-end shoot on Saturday 
afternoon, the 27th, and good scores were made by most 
of the shooters. Much interest is being manifested in 
the approaching turkey shoot, one of the annual events 
of the club. This shoot takes place on Saturday, Oct. 25, 
and always draws a large crowd of shooters, as well as 
spectators. The club extends a cordial invitation to the 
public to come out and witness the contest. No ad¬ 
mission fee is charged. 
The weekly trophies offered by the club were won 
at Saturday’s shoot by the following members: 
Scratch Class No. 1, W. S. Jones; No. 2, P. T. Jami¬ 
son. 
Class A No. 1, S. H. Holland; No. 2, J. W. Poin¬ 
dexter. 
Class B No. 1, H. E. Dyer: No. 2, C. P. Huff. 
Class C No. 1, A. W. Barbour; No. 2, E. B. Howard.

Medford G. C. 
Medford. Okla., Sept. 26.—Our traps have been 
pretty busy the past week with local and visiting shoot¬ 
ers. Messrs. Heer, Hill and Donnelly, accompanied by 
two squads from Pond Creek, shot with us. They drew 
a very windy and stormy day, and the scores were very 
poor, except that of Mr. Heer, who broke 90 out of 109, 
which was good, considering the storm. Mr. Donnelly 
also shot well. 
At our regular shoot, on Friday, Sept. 26, Messrs. 
O’Brien, Aughtry and Eagan were here, and a good 
crowd turned out to see them shoot, probably the largest 
cro-wd of spectators that have been on the grounds since 
the last annual shoot. The weather was good. Scores:

Birmingham G. C. 
Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 27.—Eleven shooters faced 
the traps of the Birmingham Gun Club on the regular 
shooting day. The conditions were ideal and some good 
shooting was done, notably that of E. M. Cornwell, who 
broke 97 out of this 100 shot at, making two clean 
scores of 25. II. C. Ryding also made a clean score of 25. 
The feature of the shooting was the wonderful work of 
Mr. Cornwell. H. C. Ryding will make a visit to Eng¬ 
land, starting next week and will, while there, do some 
shooting with the gun clubs there. 
There will be no more shooting at the Birmingham 
Gun Club until after the State fair.

LONG LAKE—A SPORTSMAN’S ARCADY. 
Continued from page 423. 
held us spellbound. Over the velvet green knobs 
of the hills, its flaming vans slowly gathered. 
Clouds, resembling curls of bluish-gold smoke, 
were ranged above the darkling tree spires. 
Higher up the sky was shot with silver light 
and veined with shoals of luminous cumuli. 
Gradually a roseate glow spread along the east¬ 
ern shore and stole up into the heavens. The 
lake caught the reflection and hung like a bowl 
of translucent wine between the girdling moun¬ 
tains. In the north a great bank of thunder 
heads, steeped in magic color, lay piled against 
the horizon. Deep in their subterranean depths 
flashed livid streaks of lightning back and forth, 
while at intervals a low mutter of thunder broke 
ominously upon the evening quiet. 
“If it doesn't rain to-morrow, suppose we 
try Owl’s Plead,’’ presently suggested Wallace. 
Tommy heaved a sigh. 
“Wish we had an elevator to go up on,” 
said she. 
“No mountain climbing for me,” remarked 
Dubs, who is fat.
