Birmingham Gun Club. 
Birmingham, Ala., June 23.—Fourteen shooters were 
present at the weekly shoot of the Birmingham Gun 
Club. John Warren did most phenomenal shooting, 
breaking all of the single targets shot at, making a per¬ 
fect score of 100. He was followed closely by R. R. 
Skinner and E. R. Holt, with but 3 down out of 100. 
Mr. Armstrong, for some reason, is shooting away 
below his average. 
There will be but one more shoot on the Du Pont 
badge, with several tied for it.

Cleveland Gun Club. 
Cleveland, O., June 23.—The regular weekly club 
shoot of the Cleveland Gun Club was held Saturday 
afternoon, June 22, at Shooting Park, Mayfield road, 
and was something of a contest—much more than was 
expected after two weeks of hard shooting, the State 
shoot and the Grand American Handicap, which has 
been hard work for those who attended. The weather 
conditions were good, just enough wind to keep the 
targets on a jump. Mr. Williams, a come-back, was the 
big gun of the day, breaking 147 out of 150 in the four 
events, which shows that if it is in the blood it will 
come out. C. B. Haycox, who . has been a very sick 
man since the first of the year, is with us again, and 
everybody was glad to see Charley; but with all "oT his 
sickness, lie has not lost his eye, as he turned in a score 
of 48 out of 50 in the first event, and 43 in the second- 
91 out of 100 is not so bad for a sick man. 
The Fourth of July contest is open to all lovers of 
the sport. The shoot will be at 200 targets per man; 
the first 100 targets will be shot in five 20-target events. 
Entrance for the five events, $5. Twelve cash prizes, 
running from $2.50 to $10 each, and a silver loving cup 
will be awarded to high gun in each event, but no con¬ 
testant to win more than one cup. The second 100 tar¬ 
gets will be handicap_ contest; three beautiful trophies 
will be awarded in this shoot; the entrance fee will be 
price of targets only, and is open to all, so if you don’t 
want to shoot for money, get into this contest and be a 
helper in keeping the good wo r k on the move.

Delaware—New England. 
In one of the greatest matches of the year on the 
grounds of the Du Pont Gun Club, Saturday, June 29, 
the All-Delaware team tied with a team representing All- 
New England. The total score on each side was 919 
out of 1,000. Thirteen men competed on each side, each 
man shooting at 100 targets. The scores of the ten 
highest men were taken in computing the result. 
The feature of the day was the shooting of E. A. 
Staples, of Franklin, Mass., who broke 100 straight— 
local record this season. 
The match was interesting from start to finish. When 
All-New England had finished it looked life a defeat for 
Delaware. The local men took a brace, however. 
The individual scores of each team and the order in 
which the men 
finished 
were 
All-New England.
