Cincinnati Gun Club. 
Cincinnati, O., Nov. 24.—Eleven shooters faced the 
traps at the weekly shoot to-day, and in spite of a driv¬ 
ing snowstorm, which prevailed most of the afternoon, 
some very good scores were made. The wind was an 
added handicap, as it caused the targets to be very 
irregular in their flights. W. Randall, of Mason, O., 
was high man in the regular events, breaking 67 out of 
SO, with Ward, one of our old-time local shooters, sec¬ 
ond on 63. 
Two team matches were shot and were both very 
closely contested, the winning team having only one 
target the best of the losers. In the first match, Gam- 
bell’s team got a lead of 6 targets in the first round, 
tied with their opponents in the second round, but met 
their Waterloo in the third, when Hammerschmidt beat 
them by 1 targets and won the match, 117 to 116. Ham¬ 
merschmidt made high individual score with 44, closely 
followed by Randall, on the opposite team, with 43. In 
the second match McArdle took the place of Gambell on 
one team, the other team remaining the same. In the 
first round Hammerschmidt’s bunch got a lead of one 
target, which they increased to 5 in the second round. 
In the last round McArdle’s team woke up and skinned 
their opponents by 6 targets, losing the match by only 
one target, 116 to 117. Hammerschmidt made high in¬ 
dividual score of 46, or 92 per cent.; Randall, on the 
other team was second high with 43. Ward, on the 
same team, did not put up so good work as in the first 
match, or the result would have been different. 
Hammerschmidt shot a few targets with his new 20- 
gauge, and improved on his work of a week ago with 
the same gun. The match was finished at dark, and 
the shooters were pleasantly surprised with an invita¬ 
tion from Supt. Gambell. to remain for a turkey dinner, 
prepared and served by his good wife. It is needless to 
say that there were no decimations, as every one pres¬ 
ent knew by experience what was in store for them, 
and all made a perfect score at the table. 
Team matches will be a feature at the shoot on 
Dec. 1, and it may be that the Super, will spring another 
pleasant surprise on the faithful ones who attend. Better 
come over and see, regardless of the weather. Scors:

Nov. 
30.—Arthur Gambell headed the list 
at the 
vveekly shoot yesterday, breaking 84 out of 100, with John 
Schreck giving him a hot race and finishing in second 
place on S3. McArdle also shot a good pace, tying with 
the leaders in the last 50 targets, and getting in third 
place. Except for the poor light late in the afternoon, 
the conditions were excellent, and the attendance should 
have been larger. 
The team matches were closely contested, Gambell’s 
team winning the first by one target, and tying with 
Schreck’s team in the second match. 
There will be special doings at the shoot on Dec. 8, 
many of the old-timers are expected to be present, and 
Supt Gambell has something pleasant in store for those 
who attend. Hammerschmidt was handicapped by using 
his 20-gauge early in the afternoon, but shot nearer his 
form when he went back to his old 12. Bob Ward shot 
an 82 per cent, gait, and is rapidly getting back to his 
old-time form, when he used to make the best of them 
hustle. Scores follow:
