Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, Ill., Nov. 23.—A dark, cloudy afternoon, 
with a blustery cold wind, were not very good weather 
conditions to bring out a large field of trapshooters. 
Those who did come out to the park had a most ex¬ 
cellent chance to test their skill on very erratic targets, 
and manv excellent shots were made during the after¬ 
noon. The feature of the day was the splendid race be¬ 
tween Young and Northcott in both the first and second 
events. Young winning out by one target in each event, 
scoring 'll) in the first and 50 straight in the second. 
Northcott broke 45 and 49 in the first and second events 
respectively and then scored 24 out of 25 in an extra 
event. Foley, Reid and Newkirk did splendidly for 
their first trial at the traps, considering the hard con¬ 
ditions. Scores:

Nov. 24.—The first-snow of the season was ushered 
in by a young blizzard, which blew in during the night 
and covered the ground with a thin white blanket. As 
it was dark and cloudy, with a raw, cold wind blowing, 
which at times blew almost a gale, only four trapshooters 
concluded to try their hand at breaking the dodging 
spheres, and they found the conditions hard enough, but 
they got some fine practice at that. Phil Miller topped 
the list in both 50-target events, having started in by 
breaking his first 15 straight, but after that a few man¬ 
aged to get away. Thwaite concluded to get his gun in 
action after over a year’s vacation from the traps. Kam- 
merer missed his train connection, but came out on 
the car. We had a card from “Doc” May, who reports 
splendid duck shooting down the country. Keller was 
trying out a new 20-gauge, and while he did not break 
as many as he should have liked, he made some excellent 
shots, and broke his targets in fine shape. Scores:

Evanston Gun Club. 
Chicago, III.. Nov. 25.—Twenty-one shooters entered 
for the turkey handicap shoot, held by the Evanston 
Gun Club, on their grounds, Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 
23 and 24. There were four events of 25 birds each, two 
cn Saturday and two on Sunday. The system used was 
the added target handicap. The handicap in each event 
was based on the difference between the actual number 
of targets broken in the preceding event and 23. Of the 
twenty-one entries, the highest man had a score of 92 and 
the lowest man 80, keeping up the interest to the last 
shot of the last man. A terrific wind blew both days, 
making the handicap verv large and the actual number 
of birds broken very small. 
The winners of the turkeys were the following gen¬ 
tlemen: Dr. Ford, J. F. Davis, W. R. Watson. R. De 
Clercq and LI. Van Patten-. Owing to the popularity of 
this event, it is the intention of the club to hold another 
turkey shoot on Dec. 7 and S, with the same system of 
handicapping. W. J. Phalen, See’y-Treas.

Glenwood, I.. I.. Nov. 28.—J. H. Higgins was top 
gun in the 100-target take-home-turkey shoot to-day at 
Glenwood Country Club from handicap of 6. Scores were 
much better than weather warranted, the high being 91.
