St. Thomas, Ont., Dec. 6.—One of Baedeker’s fol¬ 
lowers has said that when the weather in Canada is bad 
there is nothing so rotten. This just about covers con¬ 
ditions here during most of the five-day shoot just ended 
here. Clay bird eradicators from the upper register were 
here in abundance, both amateur and professional. The 
program included both feathered and unfeathered tar¬ 
gets. The Grand International Handicap was won by 
George Beatty, of Hamilton. 
Twenty-five shooters entered the preliminary events, 
and H. D. Bates, of Ridgetown and Wm. Ridley, of 
What Cheer, la., tied on 94 out of 100. Ridley won'the 
toss. 
George McCall, manager and W. McCance, assistant 
manager, had everything in fine shape, and are to be 
congratulated on the way everything was handled. The

Fifth Day. 
George Beatty, of Hamilton, won the Grand Inter¬ 
national Plandicap to-day, beating out Robert Coffey, of 
St. Thomas, by one bird on the miss-and-out shoot-off. 
Of the thirty-six who entered for the event, all were 
amateurs with the exception of E. S. Graham and J. 
M. Dunk, and neither one of them succeeded in getting 
away from the non-pros. John Stroud, of Hamilton, 
pulled off the most spectacular play of the afternoon, 
getting 9 birds in succession with one barrel, but fall¬ 
ing below the high average by one. The consistent 
shooters were the winner, George Beatty, and Robert 
Coffey. Each got 19 in the shoot, along with J. E. 
Jennings, of Todmordon, and W. Thorold, of Ridgetown, 
"but, as previously stated, Coffey lost out in the shoot-off. 
The first 10-bird event of the day w’ent to W. Root

Manhasset Bay Y. C. 
Port Washington, L. I., Dec. 8.—The regulars and 
a few others wadded the waters toward Hart’s Island

Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, Ill., Dec. 7. —The cold, penetrating wind 
which was blowing not only had the shooters guessing 
where to hold on the targets so as to score a “dead 
bird,” but also made them hustle into the club house 
after shooting each frame and warm up for the next 
round. 
Goode took the amateur honors in each event, scor¬ 
ing 22 out of 25 in practice, breaking a total of 90 out 
of 100 in the two club events, and high over all on the 
doubles. Silver was a close second in the two club 
events with a total of 89. John Boa, accompanied by 
W. S. Hare, were with us to-day, and expect to be out 
again to-morrow. Boa was breaking the targets in his 
same old style for a total of 96 out of 100 in the singles, 
breaking his last frame of 25 straight. 
Stannard also made a strong finish, with 25 straight. 
Hare has only been at the trapshooting game for two 
months, but feels that he is learning fast.

Dec. 8.—While it was quite cold yesterday, the 
Weather Man gave us our first real winter weather to¬ 
day, when the thermometer registered 16 degrees, which 
was cold enough to make the shooter’s fingers tingle be¬ 
fore finishing a frame on the firing line, and they lost 
no time getting back into the club house to thaw out 
near the warm fire. 
Dave Thomas ran up the high score in the practice 
event when he broke 24 out of 25, also being high ama¬ 
teur in the two 50-target club events, with a total of 89 
out of 100. F. Miller, a visiting shooter from St. Paul, 
was a close second with 88, and then broke 45 out of the 
next 50. Geo. Eck took the honors in event 5, breaking 
21 out of 25 with gun below the armpit. Fred Bills 
broke 49 out of 50 in the first 50, with Boa running him 
a close second with 49. John Taggart tied Boa for sec¬ 
ond in the practice event. Moore was shooting a new 
gun and is going to be out more regularly in the future.

Saratoga Gun Club. 
Saratoga, N. Y., Dec. 12.—The members of the 
Saratoga Gun Club had an afternoon’s sport at their 
club grounds, Tuesday. A program of 50 targets was 
on tap, and scores in a few instances were good, con¬ 
sidering the young gale that blew across the field. Sim 
Glover, of the Du Pont Powder Co., and Mr. Gates, of 
the Marlin Co., were the professional guests present. In 
the 50-target event, Harry Levengston, Saratoga’s pride 
at annihilating clay saucers, and Mr. Glover shot a 
pretty race. Levengston missed his fourth and fifth and 
then smashed clean to the end. Glover cleaned up the 
club profits till the fiftieth was thrown, and that one is 
flying yet. The closeness of the match resulted in a 
matcli between these old-time rivals, and a 25-target 
match was shot by both gentlemen. Glover was the 
first to fall on an easy straightaway, his 18th bird. 
Levengston, not to be cutdone, missed his 19th and re¬ 
peated on the 24th. The match was a pretty perform¬ 
ance, and was much enjoyed by the spectators. Gates 
broke 19 out of 25; he is a new-comer, and with a little 
more practice, should be a factor in the big shoots. Fol¬ 
lowing are the scores:
