Evanston Gun Club. 
Chfcago, Ill., Dec. 30.—Some time during Saturday 
night the Evanston Gun Club’s trap house was burned 
down. It is the opinion of the directors that it was 
the work of some incendiary, and they have offered a 
reward of $25 for information that will lead to the con¬ 
viction of the guilty party. The loss is estimated at 
$200, fullv covered by insurance. Work will be started 
at once on a new trap house, and it is expected that a 
new tr.np will be installfd.

E. H. Lott was high gun at 94 on the Interclub shoot, 
and in the scratch shoot, S. P. Hopkins, the old Cres¬ 
cent Club shooter, who has been at the game for many 
years, made his first 25 straight, although he had made 
many 23s and 24s prior to this. Seeing that there was a 
young gale blowing through most of the shoot, we con¬ 
sider the above scores very commendable.

Nonesach Gun Club. 
Portland, Me., Jan. 1.—Eighty-six was high here 
to-day. but not so high as the wind, which broke op¬ 
portunity and smashed all chance for records. Ernest 
Dyer made the 86 . There was a tie for place between 
J. W. Whitney and James, each of whom eliminated 65 
aerosancers. Harry Lord, captain of the champion 
W’hite-Sox, took a turn at bat, but the shoots and 
cusses of o'd .Sputter Boreas were too much for him. 
He got 9 hits out of 20 times at bat—high shooting 
with the willow, but low for the splatter buss. The
