Chicago G. C. 
Chicago, Ill., May 3.—The opening of our summer 
season’s program was not attended by as many as ex¬ 
pected, on account of the threatening weather conditions, 
the marksmen having to stop several times because of 
lieavy showers. A strong wind was also blowing, which 
at times made the shooting very difficult. 
Cutler made his first appearance at our park after a 
lay-off from the traps for nme months, and landed 
first place honors with Ed. Graham and J. W. Amberg, 
each of whom finished with a total of 93 out of 100. 
Bosley landed second place with 92. Ballou took first 
in the practice event with 13 out of 15, while Graham 
broke 24 out of 25 in event 3, being crowded along by 
H. J. Foster, a visiting shooter, who broke 23. Both 
Amberg and Dr. Shaw used to be regulars at the traps, 
but of late vears have not done much target shooting, 
and we should he pleased to see 
larly in the future. .Scores follow:

Mav i.—Despite the threatening weather, wdth the 
w'ind blowing a gale, a field of th'rty-one shooters came 
out to st.srt the first Sunday of our summer season 
program. Most of the marksmen found the flying spheres 
hard to connect with in their erratic flight. Young 
turned in the high score of the day, breaking 93 out of 
the 100 in the program event. Seelig and Kammerer fin¬ 
ished with a total of 92 and tied for second, wdiile Wink¬ 
ler landed third with Dr. Griffith. 
In the practice event at 15 targets, Seelig, Winkler, 
Riley and Bills each broke 14; Young and Thomas 
finished with 12 each. Doc May finished in fourth place 
with 39. He has been badly crippled for the past few 
days with a severe attack of rheumatism in the knees, 
which made it difficult for him to navigate. 
Now that the w’eather will be pleasant for outdoor 
recreation, we should have a good attendance at all our 
weekly shoots, both Saturdays and Sundays. 
Remember the dates of the Interstate League shoots, 
the first of which will be shot next Sunday, Mav 11; also 
our fourth annual Interstate five-man team and individual 
championship, to be shot on Sunday, May 18. We look 
for a record attendance at both these shoots, so arrange 
to be with us and enjoy yourself smashing targets.
