E. C. Cup Natch. 
The match for the E. C. cup between J. S. Day, of 
Cincinnati, O., and H. D. Freeman, of Atlanta, Ga., was 
held on the Cincinnati Gun Club grounds on Aug. 24. 
The arrangements were perfect, and barring a slight de¬ 
lay, caused by the breaking of the pulling lever of the 
trap, not a hitch occurred during the afternoon. Tin- 
match was witnessed by a large crowd, which included 
many ladies. Many of the old-timers were on hand, 
among them Jay Bee, whose name used to appear reg¬ 
ularly in all shoots of the club, but who has not in¬ 
dulged in the sport for several years. The weather was 
ideal, not a breath of wind, and good light. C. O. Le 
Compte was referee and H. R. Irwin, of Fort Thomas, 
Ky., and Capt. George Dameron, of Bellevue, Ky., looked 
out for the interests of Day and Freeman respectively. 
R. Davies, the club secretary, worked the trap indicator 
and pulled the traps, in the round at expert rules. Be 
fore the match began there was considerable practice 
shooting indulged in by those who had come over to 
see the big event. At 2:55 the two contestants took 
their places for the round at 100 targets, unknown 
angles. Both men were in fine form, and the race was 
a close one, hotly contested to the finish. Freeman 
started the ball rolling, and after missing his sixth target 
made a run of 63 straight, missing his 75th target, and 
then his 82d, going out with 97. Day was never in better 
form than in this leg of the match. His first 80 targets 
were pulverized, and everyone looked for a straight 
score from him but he let the 81st get away, and then 
dropped his 92d starget, going out with 98, one target 
to the good. 
In the round at 50 targets, expert rules, Day did 
wonderful work, his score being a record at this style 
of shooting, which will not soon be equalled. His first 
10 were accounted for. then after missing the 11th tar¬ 
get, he ran 35 straight, missing his 47th target, and 
going out with 48. Freeman did not put up the score in 
this leg that his friends expected, and was several shon 
of that made in his match with C. A. Young. He lost 
3 in each round of 25, getting a total of 44. This gave 
Day a lead of 5 targets, with the double still to be 
shot. 
Freeman was a slight favorite for the doubles, but 
again he did not seem to be in his usual form, and aftei 
the first pair or two, the tide turned in favor of Day. 
The latter broke straight in his first 8 pairs, but then 
seemed unable to find his second target quickly enough, 
and went out with 42, a score which he seldom puts up 
in doubles. Freeman W’as not in his right form at the 
start, his best work being done in the last 15 pairs, when 
he dropped but 3 targets, and went out in a tie with 
Day, losing the match by 5 targets in the total. The 
winner was given a pleasant surprise by being pre¬ 
sented with a ten years’ paid- up membership in the 
Sarasota Fishing and Hunting Club, located on Long 
Boat Key, Florida, through the generosity of Dr. N. G. 
Long, of Atlanta, Ga., president of the club.

Akron Gun Club. 
The Akron Steel Bird Gun Club’s shoot, held at the 
club’s grounds, on North Howard street, Akron, O., on 
Wednesday, Aug. 14, and Wednesday, Aug. 21. created 
considerable rivalry among the participants. On each 
occasion there were visitors from other places to investi- 
get this new bird, and judging from their enthusiasm, 
they must have been more than well pleased with the 
new -sport. 
Some of the birds flew with great speed, estimated 
by some of the old-time shooters who were present but 
not shooting to be more than twice as fast as ordinary live 
birds would fly. Nevertheless, there were some wonderful 
kills made, even if the scores are low. The scores follow, 
25 birds per man: Gammeter 8, Metzger 6, Wagoner 8, 
Gammeter 6, Metzger 16, Wagoner 7, Thresher 15, 
Bittner 13, Hoefstctler 13. Sichley 9, Manning 9, Hamlin 
4, Bittner 17, Wagner 10, Hoefstetler 14, Manning 10, 
Thresher, 8 out of 10. 
Oat of 25 doubles, Bittner scored 33. 
Mr. Hoefstetler came all the way from Orrville to 
shoot artificial steel birds. He is a good shot. Come 
again, brother. E. E. Thresher.
