Cleveland Gun Club. 
Cleveland, O., Aug. 18.—Regular weekly club con¬ 
test of the Cleveland Gun Club was held Saturday after¬ 
noon. Aug. 17, at Shooting Park, Mayfield Road, and 
was all that could be asked for, twenty shooters turning 
out to honor F. D.- Telling, one of the willing workers 
of the club. Frank was on hand and showed the boy^ 
that his many friends who had turned out had nothing 
to do with his nerve, as he handed in a card of 90 out 
of 100—not bad tor a man in love. The next thing to 
Frank’s score was the shooting of Geo. W. Radcliffe, 
who turned in a score of 99 out of 100—a remarkable 
score under the conditions. Shooting over two sets of 
traps, he made a run of 74 without a miss, a score that 
will take the wise men to beat. 
The Labor Day shoot is what they are all looking for. 
They know that there is something good in store, and 
they want some of it, and so they think they must be 
good. But some of the other boys are looking for some¬ 
thing, by the way the letters are coming in for pro¬ 
grams, but there are some left, and if you want one, 
write the manager, F. H. Wallace, South Euclid, O., and 
you will have one sent you. 
The next event will be held Saturday, Aug. 24. This 
shoot will be Doolittle Day, in honor of C. E. Doolittle, 
who will have full charge, so be on hand, boys, Charlie 
will meet you and give you a good time.

tc-day at the semi-monthly shoot of the Independent

Valley. The shoots are being well attended with on¬ 
lookers, which shows that they are interested in the art 
of smashing clay targets:
