CincinnAti Gun Club. 
,T. ScHRECK was high man at the weekly shoot, Feb. 
2, scoring 115 out of 125 shot at. In the first 100 he 
was tied with Medico on 93, the latter being the only 
contestant to go straight in any one of the 20-target 
events. M. J. Johnson finished in second place with 113, 
putting up a score of 90 in the first 100. Supt. Gambell 
had the best of it in the 25-target event, going out 
without a miss. Smith and Jones, two beginners at 
the traps, showed great improvement after the first 
event, the former breaking 52 and the latter 61 out of 
their first 100 targets. Davies started off badly, but got 
back to form in the second event, and finished in third 
place for the afternoon. The weather conditions were 
good, a trifle cool, but not enough to affect the work 
of the shooters. 
The club team will visit the Northern Kentucky 
grounds on Feb. 9 to shoot the return match with that 
club. There will be a 100-target program provided, Jack 
Rabbit system, with an entrance of $7, of which ?1 will 
be deducted for targets, and ?1 put in a purse to be 
divided equally among four classes, Lewis system, 50, 
30 and 20 per cent. Shooters receive 5 cents for each 
target broken, and 5 cents for each target missed will 
constitute a purse to be divided 50, 30 and 20 in each 
event. 
Davies and Medico shot a friendly match at 40 tar¬ 
gets, the former winning by two targets, 37 to 35. At 
the close of the first round the score was a tie on 18, 
and Davies gained the lead in the last round with 19 
to 17. The scores of

Daniel Boone Gun Club. 
Marthasville, Mo., Jan. 25.—The following scores 
were made at practice by members of the Daniel Boone 
Gun Club. On the first 25 Ahmann went straight, win¬ 
ning the Du Pont picture on high gun, which any mem¬ 
ber of our club can compete for, the first 25 birds of 
each regular practice day to count. No member is 
eligible to win more than one picture. The weather to¬ 
day was pleasant and the scores show it.

Feb. 1.—One of our new members, Louis Koch, of 
Treloar, Mo., was high man to-day with 22 broken out 
of the first 25 shot at, which gives him the picture 
donated by the Du Pont Co. and shot for each week. 
The weather was so cold that some of the boys said 
they could not “feel the trigger.” We hope the spring 
days will soon come, when a new excuse will have to be 
hunted up for the low scores:

J. O. Wilson, Sec’y- 
Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
There was little doing at the grounds on Feb. 2, 
only two shooters showing up for practice. Capt. G. W. 
Dameron was present, but took no part in the sport. 
J. Wuerdeman broke 90 out of 100, and W. Wuerdeman 
58 out of 75. 
The grounds have been put in fine condition since 
the flood, which did considerable damage, and every¬ 
thing is in readiness for the jack rabbit shoot, which is 
to be held on Feb. 9 in connection with the return 
match between the Northern’s and Cincinnati’s teams. 
The program will be 100 targets in 20-target eveats, $7 
entrance. Of this $1 will be deducted for targets, and 
$1 set aside to form a high average purse for those 
shooting the entire program. This will be divided 
equally among four classes, Lewis system, 50, 30 and 
20 in each class. Each shooter will be paid 5 cents for 
each target broken, and 5 cents for each target missed 
will make up a purse divided 50, 30 and 20 in each 
event. The prospects are good for a large attendance, 
barring bad weather.

Du Pont Smokeless Powders 
The Choice of the Winners 
at the Sixth Annual 
Midwinter Handicap Target Tournament 
piNEHURST, North Carolina, from January 22d to 25th. was the 
scene of spectacular trapshooting on the part of America’s cele¬ 
brated target shooters. The exhibition of marksmanship was not 
only highly creditable to shooters but was also a display of the relia- 
bilitity of Du Pont Powders. 
The victors of the Tournament shot Du Pont Powders with follow¬ 
ing results:

J T PAYS TO SHOOT DU PONT POWDER S 
.J 
Columbus, O. Chamberlain has been called “Roundy” 
by the shooting fraternity for years; hence the Roundy 
system. 
We expect our spring shoot to be a great success 
under this system, and as it is new, I submit a brief 
outline of the program: 
Two special events (optional), entrance $2. Regular 
program, 150 targets. Professionals shoot for targets 
only. The $6 entrance fee pays for 150 targets, 150 
cartridges (any brand and any load), and your dinner. 
Can you beat it? Why, on your home grounds, it costs 
you more than that for the number of targets, and be¬ 
sides this system offers you, Mr. Amateur, a real 
chance to win some of the money. Supposing we have 
100 shooters, divide them into four classes. The first 25 
high scores will be first class; the second 25, second 
class; the third 25, third class; the fourth 25, fourth class. 
The three highest scores in each class will receive 
50, 30 and 20 per cent, of the purse allotted to each 
class. Purses divided class shooting, not high gun. 
With this Roundy system, the much abused “poor shot” 
gets a fair shake with the expert. 
We also are offering a silver medal to high average 
amateur, and high professional, and a bronze medal to 
low score. 
Our annual registered tournament will be held 
Thursday, Aug. 28. '
