Birmingham Gun Club. 
Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 14.— Only five shooters were 
at the weekly shoot of the Birmingham Gun Club. The 
afternoon was the darkest in which we have ever shot, 
so the scores are away below the average. 
Mr. Lee was shooting a 20-gauge gun. Mrs. Garl 
and Mr. Garl were trying a new gun in one event, 
which caused them to lose some. E. M. Cornwell has 
his gun away to the factory for repairs, and was shoot¬ 
ing Baugh’s gun. 
Members of the Birmingham Gun Club are pleased 
to know that the Southern Handicap will be held at 
Montgomery. And also at the action of the Interstate 
Association in restoring the Preliminary Handicap to 
the subsidiary Interstate handicaps, and allowing the 
purses divided as the gun clubs decide. Most of all, 
that E. E. Shaner and J. T. Skelly still remain at the 
helm of trapshooting in America. 
Scores were made as follows:

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Don’t overlook Amateur Championship of Long 
Island Sound at Manhasset Bay Yacht Club traps, Jan. 
11. It’s a jolly place to go, and will offer a competition 
worth winning. 
* 
Owing to domestic inclinations of du Pont members 
—and the fact that they all had turkeys—no shoot was 
held Christmas Day. However, all latent and pent-up 
desire for contest, turkeys and powder combustion may 
be indulged on New Year’s Day, when a sufficient 
quantity of fat, chestnut-fed birds will be in the prize 
pens for those who can “hit the side of a barn.” 
* 
Harry Kahler, the boy phenom clay bird eliminator, 
has slipped from the ranks of amateurs and gone pro. 
He will represent Peters Cartridge Co. in the West. 
Kahler has done remarkable shooting in his short career 
as a powder burner, and ihere will be many a sigh of 
relief from circuit trotting amateurs at the parting of 
the ways-Harry will now sell instead of buy. Good 
luck to the popular boy, say I.

The new trophies at Travers Island this year are 
handsome enough to bring out the best and bring out 
the best there is in the best after they are out—sounds 
Dutch, doesn’t it? Well, parse it, and you sure will 
take to the cups—the three-finger variety. Well, to re¬ 
turn to our mutton, or cups, Ralph Spotts has put up a 
beautiful silver one for high scratch season average. 
Charley Billings has Black, Starr & Frosted for 100-bird 
scratch for first four 100-bird events on any club day. 
Other silver linings for the clouds of smoke are B. M. 
Higginson for season high average, handicap; Geo. J. 
Corbett for handicap high score at 100 birds, same con¬ 
ditions as Billings’ trophy; E. N. Huggins, for long 
straight run in any of first four events on any club day.

W. J. Wilson, Sec’y-Treas. Dows Gun Club, Dows, 
la., writes: “Our club is a newly organized one, com¬ 
posed of young shooters, and we are all striving to 
make ours a real live gun club. We are going to hold 
our first club tournament on Christmas Day, when 
turkeys will be shot for. Wc contemplate holding a 
couple of registered tournaments next spring and sum¬ 
mer, and hope to entertain a number of out-of-town 
shooters.” 
[To this I may add that if Forest and Stream can 
be of any help in making the march easier for Mr. 
Wilson’s club, or any other young organization, just 
say what you want.— Editor.]

Evanston Gun Club. 
Evanston, III., Dec. 19. — The Evanston Gun Club, 
of Evanston, Ill., held their annual dinner and election 
of officers at the City Club, of Chicago, on the evening 
of Dec. 17, at which the following officers were elected 
for the ensuing year: H. F. Darby, Jr., President; G. H. 
Coleman, Vice-President; W. T. Phalen, Secretary and 
Treasurer; W. R. Carman, Captain; H. Van Petten, 
Director. 
It was decided that, owing to the rapid growth of 
the club, it was necessary to have larger quarters, and 
a committee was appointed to plan a larger club house 
and to arrange for the installation of another automatic 
trap. 
Two teams, composed of fifteen members each, were 
formed to shoot for a trophy donated by Mr. F. H. 
Tichenor. New Years morning a contest will take place 
for the first leg on the Director’s cup.
