Hercules Gun Club. 
Temple, Pa., Aug. 10.—The annual registered t urna- 
ment of the Hercules Gun Club was a great success 
with an entrance of thirty-five shooters. The main race 
on the 150 targets was for the Reading Eagle trophy 
for the amateur making highest score out of 150 on the 
Hercules grounds. Men from Allentown, Harrisburg. 
Reading, Bethlehem, Catasauqua, Royersford and Potts- 
town were in competition. 
A J. Mengel, the noted amateur of Mohnton, Pa., 
a suburb of Reading, broke 145 and took high amateur 
gun. H. J. Schlicher, of Allentown, former Slate 
champion, was close to his heels, but lost out by 
breaking 140. H. E. Buckwalter, another gamester from 
Royersford, Pa., a clever and reliable marksman, landed 
third place with 138. This was “Bucky’s” first appear¬ 
ance on the Hercules grounds, and he seemed to enjoy 
them. 
A. S. Heil won the extra event on 24 doubles, 12 
pairs, with 23 to his credit. 
J. M. Hawkins led the professional field with 142, 
but three targets shy of Mr. Mangel. “Mai,” another 
chicken “oval” will make some improvement. O. S. 
Sked was second with 139. L. R. Lewis, the crack 
joker, was third with 125, who led the “Dutch squad.” 
The next big event will be the county shoot, when 
the championship on 50 birds will be decided for the 
Hoff & brother trophy, a solid gold watch fob. This 
shoot will take place on Saturday, Oct. 12, on the 
Hercules grounds, Temple, Pa. 
Everybody was pleased to-day, so we will all be back 
again and doing it on Oct. 12. The scores:

Capt. George Dameron was high man at the shoot 
on Aug. 11, breaking 91—not up to his mark, but then 
he has not been keeping up his practice lately, which ac¬ 
counts for it. A big crowd is expected at the registered 
tournament on Aug. 15 and 16, and preparations have 
been made to care for all who may come. Woodbury 
was out to-day for the first time in several months, his 
score not showing the falling off that might have been 
expected. Scores:
