Dave Engle was high gun this morning with 88 per 
cent., and got his name on the honor list by break¬ 
ing 25 straight in his last string; Lou Schortey was 
the runner up with 75 per cent. There was to be a 
100 bird race this morning between Harry Burlington 
and Joe Whitley, but we were disappointed by - ‘Burly” 
not showing up at the grounds and as he is the owner 
of several high class bird dogs, we presume that he 
was busy getting them ready for the dog show, as lie 
has been telling us that he expects to clean up witli 
them. The day was about right for trap shooting, with 
very little wind, but the snow on the ground made it 
a little hard to see the targets, which accounts for 
some of the poor scores. 
Our next shoot will be held on Sunday, March 8th, 
so come out and see us, everybody is welcome to shoot 
with us, we serve hot lunch gratis to shooters and the'r 
friends.

Captain. 
Westwood Gun Club. 
Eighteen shooters faced the traps on February 21 
for the practice events preliminary to the holiday 
shoot. The weather was too cold for comfort on the 
firing line, and a strong wind blowing across the 
grounds made the flight of the targets rather erratic, 
but failed to prevent some of the contestants from 
putting up good scores. Among the visitors were: C. 
A. Young, Springfield; O. S. Lawrence, Louisville, 
and L. J. Squier, Pittsburg. The Cincinnati Gun 
Club was represented by R. Davies, R. Dibowski and 
Nemo. R. Razee, the Nebraska revolver and rifle ex¬ 
pert, is also some shooter with the scatter gun, 
though he failed to go his usual pace on his first visit 
to these grounds. C. A. Young was high man for the 
afternoon, breaking 48 out of his last 50, and a total 
of 95 out of the 100. A. C. Kuball, of the home club, 
tied with Young for high single event score of i., 
straight. Nemo and Davies will have to settle the 
question of supremacy on some other day, as they tied 
on 80 per cent. here. Several of the members shot 
their score for the Oskamp Trophy, a handicap event 
at 50 targets. J. Schneider broke 40, his handicap giv¬ 
ing him a total of 44; A. C. Kuball got 33, and a 
total of 40; D. H. Willey, 35, total 39, and Sauer, 13, 
total 22. Kling has done no shooting for a long time, 
and showed his lack of practice. no i 
arrive until late in the afternoon, and only got into 
one event. Iiitzman and Sauer are both new ones at 
the traps, and the weather conditions were against 
them today, but they are stayers and will make a 
better showing before the season is over. F. Disser 
started off well, losing his targets in the last part 
of the events. Rossmeyer shot a very even gait, get¬ 
ting 21 in each of the last three events. The club 
wiil give a special shoot as soon as the weather 
moderates, and are preparing a program which ought 
to attract a good crowd.

No. 5 and No. 4 Shoot in 20-Bores. 
Many of your correspondents have made kindly men¬ 
tion of myself or my writings during the past few 
weeks, and to all permit me to say that my time has 
been so fully occupied now for several months that 
I trust they will please overlook any scant acknowl¬ 
edgment of their letters. With the shooting season 
ended, I hope to have more time. There was one 
letter in your issue of January 10 that I much wished to 
reply to last week; but many engagements prevented 
The letter in question was from Mr. W. R. Leeson, 
who has had much experience with 20-bores. To many 
eople unacquainted with the shooting of 20-bore guns 
feel sure that Mr. Leeson’s remarks would come as 
a surprise, for a well-rooted belief with many people 
appears to be that small shot sizes are inseparably con¬ 
nected with small bores, and that to procure good
