Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, III., Jan. 1.—After a close and exciting 
race, Capt. May’s team won from Capt. Fox’s team by a 
margin of 18 targets. Both teams were evenly matched, 
and after all hands had shot at 30 targets the winners 
were only two targets in the lead, but Fox’s men lost 
out in the wind up. 
The splendid weather of to-day brought out a field 
of forty-three shooters, thirty of them participating in 
the team shoot, which was started at one o’clock, after 
captains Doc May and Fox had carefully chosen their 
men, and then “swapped” two men. Dave Thomas and 
Fred Bills were the two high individuals, each break¬ 
ing 48 out of SO.and both were on the losing team. Kirk¬ 
wood, with a score of 46 out of 50, was high on the 
winning team, while Ralph Kuss was a close second 
with 45. Harry Kahler and Stannard each scored 45 
breaks, and F. Meisner tied Jay Graham for third place 
on their team with 43. The race proved to be very 
close in the first two frames, for at the finish of the first 
15 targets the total scores were: Doc’s team 173 to 
Fox’s 171, and the finish of the second frame of 15 
resulted in a total of 344 to 342, each team having scored 
the same number of “dead birds,” viz.: 171. In the 
last frame of 20, Doc’s team increased their lead, so 
that they were 18 targets to the good at the finish. 
Fox says he knows he had a team of winners, and the 
only way he can figure out their defeat is that Doc must 
have bribed some of the team, so he is going to have 
Phil Miller investigate the case just as soon as he gets 
througli with the counterfeiter who Bob Seelig “tipped” 
him off to. The scores, 50 targets per man:

Event No. 5 was at 12 pairs. 
Jan. 5.—The second monthly shoot of our club was 
shot under the most difficult weather conditions, as a 
gale of wind from the northeast drove the sl.eet (which 
came down all afternoon) directly into the faces of 
the shooters, many of them being unable to see the 
targets after calling for them. 
A glance at the scores will show that high scores 
were out of the question, when 77 out of 100 won first 
place, and many of the marksmen who seldom get be¬ 
low 9o per cent, dropped to 70 per cent, and lower, the 
reader may well know that something was doing in the 
weather line. Kuss landed the top score of 77, while 
Silver was a close second with 76 from 16yds. Wm. 
Stout, who came from Burlington, la., with our good 
friend Breitenstein, landed third place with 75 out of 
100. He says he will be back for our February shoot, 
and may bring some more of the Burlington shooters 
along. Kammerer was going along fine and looked to 
be the winner until the last frame, when the sleet got 
the best of him. The scores:

longer manufactured.
