Vanson, President; Dr. D. E. Sawyre, Vice-President; 
Wm. H. Tanner, Secretary. 
Jersey City Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., March 1.—We had a pretty fair 
attendance at our regular Saturday afternoon shoot to¬ 
day, even though the big shoot was on at Madison 
Square Garden for the indoor championship. Several 
of the boys hustled over to New York as soon as the 
program was finished to try and qualify for the finals. 
Dave Engle jumped out in front to-day at the start and 
stayed there until the finish, and won high average 
easily with 85 per cent. Dixon was second with 78 
per cent., and Jack Williams sat in the third row with 
72 out of 100. Jack also took home a leg on the season 
trophy with 44 out of 50. The scores follow in strings of 
25:

Engle, after hitting the third bird he shot at, found 
his gun had broken. The brand-new stock had snapped 
off at the grip^ but Dave borrowed a gun and shot like 
a house a-fire just the same. 
Summerfield and Dixon had a little match on the 
side, and Dixon put it all over him, Summerfield ap¬ 
pearing very nervous. 
Coleman and Everett are new members, and both are 
improving, Everett getting a 17 to-day. Keep at it, 
boys, and things will come your way. 
Kearney was out with another new gun, and his 
average had to suffer, of course. By and by, he is going 
to get the right combination, and then there will be a 
lot of smoke around, you can bet. 
Dr. Ittner’s eyes bothered him considerably to-day, 
which accounts for his low scores. 
Kellinger came out to get a lot of practice before 
going over to Madison Square. Don’t forget that the 
Jersey City Gun Club shoots every Saturday, and ex¬ 
tends an invitation to all shooters to pay us a visit and 
spend a pleasant afternoon. Targets trapped at 1 cent 
each. 
Cincinnafi Gun Club. 
There were not many members at the grounds on 
March 2, but there was some shooting, the last shots in 
the team race being fired when it was barely possible 
to see the targets in the dusk. Hammerschmidt was 
high man in the regular practice events, breaking 90 
out of 100, a very fine showing in the strong west wind 
which was blowing, and causing the targets to take very 
erratic flights. Schreck started out with a poor score, 
but improved in each event, broke straight in the last 
event, and went out in second place with 82. In the 
contest for the Du Pont trophy, there were four straight 
scores, including the shooters’ handicaps. In actual 
breaks, Schreck led with 46, closely followed by Hammer¬ 
schmidt and Arthur Gambell with 45 and 44 respectively. 
Then Mutt and Jeff went up against each other in the 
two 100-target matches, the first resulting in favor of the 
former, and Jeff winning the second. On the 200 targets 
Mutt had the best of it by two targets, with 149 to 147. 
There was still a little daylight left, and a team match 
was proposed between Mutt and Jeff, and Oscar and 
Adolph. The last shots were fired when it was almost 
impossible to see the targets in the gathering dusk, and 
the result was a victory for the latter team bn a score 
of 122 to 113 out of 75 targets per man. The team match 
with Northern Kentucky will be shot on the latter’s 
grounds on March 16, and will be a feature of the tour¬ 
nament to be given on that date. Each team has one 
win and one match resulted in a tie. Scores:

League of Southeast Missouri Gun Clubs. 
There will be a meeting at Sikeston, Mo., Parlor A, 
Marshall Hotel, at 9:30 A. M., Tuesday, March 18, for the 
purpose of organizing a league of Southeast Missouri 
gun clubs, to which all gun clubs are cordially invited. 
The suggestion for this organization is for each gun 
club to become a member of the league. Tournaments 
will be held at times and places, subject to the rules of 
the organization. The league, of course, makes its own 
rules. It is a good idea to comply with the Interstate 
Association rules, in order to secure their $50 per day. 
The home club where tournament is to be held to retain 
two cents per target. In order to guarantee successful 
tournament, each club in the league can be assessed for 
attendance of two members from their club, and should 
no one attend from that club, then they would pay 2 
Birmingham Gun Club. 
Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 22.—The midwinter handi¬ 
cap of the Birmingham Gun Club was a most successful 
affair. Attendance was up to what was expected, and the 
weather was warm and pleasant. A slight wind made 
some of the targets dip badly. 
P. B. Plummer won the midwinter handicap from 
18yds., and the secretary’s trophy for high score was 
won by a member of the Birmingham Gun Club. Chas. 
Dunlap, of Eutaw, Ala., was high amateur. In the 206 
targets in the afternoon, E. R. Holt was high profes¬ 
sional with 195, followed by H. D. Gibbs with 193. John 
Fletcher was high amateur in the 200 targets with 185, 
followed by Geo. Waddell, of Columbus, Ga., with 184.
