lndi»nkpolis Gun Club. 
Indianapolis, Ind.—The tournament of the gun club 
on March S drew an attendance of twenty-one shooters, 
eighteen of whom shot through the entire program. In 
addition, there were trapped 950 targets in practice and 
extras which do not appear in the report. The program 
called for ten events of 15 targets each, entrance $7.50 
and $1.50 for targets. Purses were divided Tack Rab¬ 
bit on the basis of 5 cents per target broken, the balance 
to the best guns, 50, 30 and 20 per cent. Geo. Wagner, 
of Peru, fnd., all out of practice and with a lot coming 
to him, lost but 3 out of the first 105, and finished at the 
head of the amateurs with 110 out of 150. Kenneth 
Jewett, of St. Paul, Ind., chased Wagner all the way— 
indeed outsbot him in the second half—and finished but 
one point back. Edmonson was hardly up to his best 
form, yet po.sted a good 90 per cent. Parry, just returned 
from California, out of practice and trainsore, also ran 
the best he could. Others were good in spots, but lacked 
in the continuity of effort, which achieves results. The 
next time up some of our real home-grown ones will 
perhaps show the way to their country cousins. No one 
profited much in winnings, nor could one lose much, 
while the good fellowship which prevailed, was more than 
worth the cost. The dinner served by Mrs. Waite was 
enough to separate a man from his home if she would 
but take him as a boarder.

in Its talons, embellishes the pennant, which will be 
raised on the 22d. There are four nests of the fish-hawks 
on the grounds, one on a 40ft. pole in the club house 
yard measures 4ft. in diameter, and is 3ft. high. The 
directors are having other poles about the grounds for 
the nesting fish-hawks.

Jersey City Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., March 15.—We bad another good 
Mtendance to-day at the Jersey City Gun Club regular 
Saturday shoot, and while the day was quite hazy, there 
was no wind at all to make the birds cut up capers, the 
result being some very decent scores. H. E. Dickerman, 
of the Chicago Gun Club, paid us a visit to-day, the 
first for a long time, and at the finish led the field with 
an average of 91 per cent, for the day, which was going 
some. George Piercy was second with 83 per cent. Dixon 
third with only 81 per cent. Harry Burlington won the 
leg on the club trophy with 47 out of 50. The scores:

Asbury Park Wants Westy Hogan Shoot. 
Westy Hogans attending the annual Sportsmen’s 
Show in New York city held a meeting at the Prince 
George Hotel on Marth 2 and discussed plans for this 
year’s tournament in September. 
Probably the most important matter under con¬ 
sideration was an invitation from the Chamber of Com¬ 
merce of Asbury Park, urging the Hogans to hold 
their 1913 tournament at their popular New Jersey re¬ 
sort. The matter was thoroughly discussed, but no 
definite action was taken. Another meeting of the 
Hogans will be held in Philadelphia probably early in 
May, and then the city which it to get this year’s 
tournament wdll be decided upon. 
The prospects for another successful Westy Hogan 
shoot are exceedingly bright. Atlantic City, as usual, 
is after the tournament, and it is believed that should 
it be held there this year the shooting will be from 
one of the piers. The Hogans assure their many friends 
that if the tournament goes to Atlantic City every effort 
will be made to have it held on one of the piers. 
The dates selected by the tournament committee for 
this year’s shoot. Sept. 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 were approved 
at the recent meeting.
