Little Falls G. C. 
Little Falls, N. J., Oct. 7. — Last 'Saturday, Oct. 4, 
the Little Falls Gun Club, of this place held its first 
shoot for the fall season, and while there were quite a 
few of their good shots absent, they were still able to 
make some noise and some good scores with the seven¬ 
teen shooters who were present. 
The officers are looking for a large increase in the 
membership of the club, and have purchased another trap, 
which will be installed as soon as the ground can be 
put in condition for it. They were also pleased to have 
present Neaf Apgar and Jack Fanning, and will welcome 
any other shooters who care to try their skill on the 
club grounds. There were eleven very useful prizes 
awarded in the two prize events. Following are the 
scores:

Cincinnati G. C. 
J. Schreck did the best work at the weekly shoot 
on Oct. 5. breaking 93 out of 300 in the regular events. 
The conditions were not of the best. The air was heavy, 
and in the entire absence of wind the smoke collected 
until it was extremely difficult to see the targets. L. 
Gambell tied with Hammerschmidt for second place on 
91, and Medico was next with 90. Both team matches 
were hotly contested, and the winners had only a small 
margin on their opponents. At the close of the second 
round in the first match. Gambell's team had a lead of 
5 targets, but in the last string, Medico's side got busy 
and won the round by 5 targets, and the match by one 
target. In the second match, shot in two 25-target strings. 
Medico’s men had one target the best at the half-way 
post, Gambell’s bunch getting the best the last half, and 
going out with three targets to the good. L. Gambell 
and Hammerschmidt tied for high individual score in 
this match on 48. with Schreck and Medico second on 
47. The individual honors were evenly divided between 
the teams. The tie for the Rum Hum trophy between 
Gambell, Drees and Schneider required two shoot-offs 
before a decision was reached. Gambell dropped out in 
the first, and Schneider won the second and the trophy. 
The proposed team match between Kentucky and Ohio 
shooters has been postponed, but is still in prospect, and 
will be a great contest when the men get together. 
Stone, Leather. Red Bull and Rocks are the gun names 
of four of the old-time shooters who have rather dropped 
out of the game of late years, but cannot withstand the 
lure of the clays once in a while. Time was when their 
names appeared at the head of the list in the weekly 
shoots, and they would be given a royal welcome if they 
could decide to come back again.

Dwight G. C. 
Dwight, 111., Oct. 1.—The first shoot of the fall and 
winter season was giver, by the Dwight Gun Club, of 
Dwight, Ill., at its grounds on Tuesday, Sept. 30. A 
good crou'd of sportsmen were present, and the weather 
was quite favorable for good shooting. The regular pro¬ 
gram consisted of five events of 20 targets each, and the 
full program u'as participated in by twenty men, includ¬ 
ing seme of the best shots in this section of the State. 
The following are the scores:

Several sweepstake events u'ere shot in the morning, 
and all had a good number of entries, making in all a 
good day’s card for those shooting and a successful 
event for the club. M. Knuessell won first high gun 
prize; J. Young second and F. W. Collins third. En¬ 
tries for all events were 10 cents a bird, making very 
nice little purses in each event. 
AT LONG BEACH. 
1. Ward Hammond from Hercules town. One of the 
most popular pros in the ballistic outfit. 
2. E. R. Wilbur, of Abercrombie & Fitch Co., pro¬ 
moter of the Long Beach shoot. 
3. Paul von Boeckman, strong man and crack rock 
smasher from Bergen Beach G. C. 
4. Miss Browne, popular and a cruel lady on targets. 
5. The only Jack Fanning, who makes Du Pont famous 
down this way. Mr. Fanning cleverly managed the Long 
Beach shoot, and not a complaint was recorded on the 
only Jack. 
6. Miss Jessie Thorpe in a characteristic pose. This 
pink-cheeked youngster broke 103 out of 150. 
7. Dan McMahon, of N. Y. C. A.,-runner-up for Bart 
Lewis (No. 8). Some class for a youngster and no mis¬ 
take^—“please don’t talk while I’m shooting.” 
9. The only Charley Hyde, of Port Washington. "If 
targets were ducks, watch me.” 
10. Bill Smull, a rock breaker par excellence, and 
always ready for a chance on the cracker line. 
31.—P. M. Pranckard. Some shooter when the moon 
is right. 
12. Not showing. Percy Baxter, another live-gamer 
from Port Washington—the Pranckard cigar hides the 
face of Mr. Baxter, and it’s worth seeing at that.
