Nason County Gun Club. 
The first annual registered tournament of the Mason 
County Gun Club was held at Maysville, Ky., on April 
24. The attendance was quite good, though not up to 
e.Kpectations, the recent flood, no doubt, preventing some 
shooters from taking part. About thirty shooters took 
part in the events, and most of them shot through the 
program, which consisted of five events at 15, and five 
at 20 targets each, a total of 175 targets. The shoot was 
held under the Squier money-back system, with a total 
entrance of $15. including entrance of $1 for the money 
back purse. The money in the first five events was di¬ 
vided Rose svstem, 5, 3, 2, 1, and in the last five, S, 5, 
3, 2, 1. 
A feature of the tournament was the contest for the 
$400 Kentucky St.nte challenge cup, which was won by 
VVm, H. Hall, of Maysville, on the Cincinnati grounds 
last fall, T. H Clay, Jr., of Paris, being the challenger, 
and two other Kentucky shooters entering the contest. 
The race was a close one, C. P. Strother, of Winchester, 
finally proving the winner on a score of 92, T. H. Clay 
being one target behind him, and W. H. Hall two 
targets. Clay had hard luck in his third round, which 
lost him the cup. 
High score for the day was made by W. Henderson, 
After You Get 
Through Talking 
about the good points in any 
particular gun—the proof of its 
worth to you—is what the gun 
mill rin. 
Fox-Sterlingworth 
is a reasonably priced gun — 
embodying all the superior 
features of FOX GUNS—and 
carrying with it the Fox Guar¬ 
antee and Inspection Certificate. 
It will perform like a high-priced 
gun—and come home with the 
game. 
There is more value in a 
FOX-STERLINGWORTH at 
$25 than any gun ever made. 
Ask Any 
Sporting Goods Dealer 
to show you the FOX-STERLING¬ 
WORTH. It’s the gun for the man 
who wants a good gun without any 
fancy frills. Handle and test it. You 
will wonder at its superior worth. 
If your dealer cannot supply you, 
write us, giving his name, and we will 
send catalog and “ 20 Reasons Why ” 
FOX Guns are superior.

Cincinnati Gun Club. 
In spite of the threatening weather on April 27, there 
was a very good attendance at the weekly shoot of the 
club. Several of the officers stationed at Fort Thomas 
were present on April 26 and took part in the various 
events. In the 100-target race Hammerschmidt was high 
man with 92, Medico being his nearest competitor with 
89. In the team match the civilians put it over the 
military by a margin of 16 targets, Irwin, of the former 
team making high individual score of the match. 
The day was not the best for shooting, a strong 
wind affecting the flight of the targets, and heavy rain 
in the forenoon cut the attendance quite a little. On 
the 27th, rain about noon kept many from starting to 
the grounds, and the number was smaller than usual. 
There was a puzzling wind which made the targets 
climb skyward every once in a while, and caused more 
than one of the misses. C. O. LeCompte tied with H. 
C. Connelly for high gun on 90. Schreck divided second 
place honors with A. Gambell on 86. L. C. LeCompte, 
who is pretty nearly as big as,his “Pa,” gives promise 
of making “Charlie” ,go some in the near future. Two 
team matches were shot, and both were closely con¬ 
tested, but one target separating the teams at the finish. 
Hammerschmidt arrived at the grounds late in the 
afternoon, and only shot at 50 targets. The first 25 he 
broke straight, and then, in a match with Butz, he broke 
21, the latter tying him with the handicap of 2 targets. 
Davies also made a nice score of 24. shooting with 
Hammerschmidt. In an extra event at 25 targets, C. O. 
LeCompte broke 23, Butz 19, Sander 17, Frohliger 20 
and Cox 19. 
The next contest in the inter-city team matches be¬ 
tween Dayton, Springfield and Cincinnati has been post¬ 
poned from April 26 to May 24, and will be shot at 
Dayton instead of at Springfield, as at first scheduled. 
The flood caused this change in the plans. The last 
match will take place at Springfield soon after the 
Grand American.
