It’s so easy to see and understand why steel where steel belongs” shells are the 
best, that they are the choice of shrewd, up-to-date trap-shooters everywhere. Are 
they successful.’ The above is just one chapter of the story.

If the first registered shoct of the club, held on the 
Cincinnati Gun Club’s grounds, May 30, is a sample of 
what the club proposes tO‘ do in the future, then it will 
surely take a leading position in this section of the 
trapshooting world. Over forty shooters were present, 
nearly all of them shooting through the program of ten 
15-target events, and over half of them entering the 
special event for the valuable merchandise prizes which 
were put up t)y the club. Not only were the local shoot¬ 
ers well represented, but there were many out-of-town 
visitors, among the latter being: J. A. Simpson, W. G. 
Green and Uncle John Dea, of Maysville, Ky.; J. A. 
Penn, J. I. Brandenburg and Ed. Cain, of Dayton, O.; 
J. G. Francis and Dr. O. D. Maddox, of Harrison, O.; 
Wm. Link, David J. Smyers, E. C. Shafer and E. L. 
Walker, of Hamilton, O.; T. J. and T. E. Donald, of 
I'elicity; A. H. Sunderbruch, of Williamsburg, O.; L. J. 
Squier, Pittsburgh, Pa., and George W. Maxwell, of 
Hastings, Neb. There was a big crowd of spectators, 
which included many of the fair sex, and the latter 
seemed to appreciate the good work of the contestants 
thoroughly. 
The day was hot, well up in the 90s, but a strong 
wind made the heat endurable, although it played the 
mischief with the flight of the targets, and caused some 
of the boys to fall in their average. 
The dinner served by Mrs. Gambell in the club 
house was fully up to the reputation she has earned as 
a caterer to the apetites of shooters, and not one but 
did ample justice to the good things provided. 
Shooting began about 10 o’clock over one trap, and 
after dinner it was found necessary to put the second 
trap in commission, in order to finish the program. 
Everything worked smoothly, and the last event was 
brought to a close in good season. The office was in 
charge of L. J. Squier, which means that there were no

delays or mixups of any sort. Roger Davies lent a 
hand in the afternoon, and the winners were at the 
window receiving their wealth soon after the regular 
program was finished. J. A. Simpson was high amateur 
with 142; Ike Brandenburg, came second with 139; W. G. 
Green and F. C. Koch tied for third place on 136; then 
came Ed Sampson, one of the old-time cracks of the 
Cincinnati Club, with 134. Ed. Cain and R. F. Davies 
divided sixth money on 133 each. 
Of the professionals, G. W. Maxwell was high with 
138, which is a lower score than he averages. R. L. 
Trimble came second with 134. The money-back purse 
was made up of one cent for each target trapped, 
amounting to $63.90; the $1 extra included in the entrance, 
$36.80; added by Interstate Association, $50; total, $150.70. 
The losses footed up $77.65, in sums ranging from 40 
cents to $6.30, leaving a surplus of $73.05, which was 
divided among the six high guns in the usual way. The 
special event had twenty-two entries, and as there were 
the same number of prizes, every one went home happy. 
The high men were given the first choice, the others 
following in order of their scores. The list of prizes 
■included hams, carving sets, amber shooting glasses, 
.22cal. rifle, shell case, books, orders for Gambell photos, 
etc. Cain and Link tied for high score on 46; T. E. 
Donald second with 45; Ike L. Bittner and Wilber in 
third place with 44 each. The first choice in the ties 
was decided by drawing lots, as the time did not per¬ 
mit shooting off.
