LEFEVER ARMS COMPANY .... Syracuse, N. Y 
Cumberland Shooting Club. 
Cumberland, Md., Sept. 7.—The Cumberland Gun 
Club held their registered tournament on Sept. 5 and 
6 , with twenty-two shooters facing the trap, fifteen 
shooting the entire program through, the Squier money- 
back system was used. By courtesy of the Du Pont 
Powder Co., Mr. Ed. H. Taylor, of Fairmont, W. Va., 
handled the office, assisted by Mr. John M. Hawkins, 
representing the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. 
Lester German, of Aberdeen, Md., representing the 
Du Pont Powder Company, on the first day broke 
the entire program of 150 targets, adding another bar 
to his Du Pont medal. II. D. Gibbs, from Tennessee, 
representing the U. M. C. and Remington Arms Co., 
shot the entire program both days. This was Mr. 
Gibbs’ first visit to our city and made many friends 
among the shooters by his genial and friendly ways, 
and the boys all want him to be with us again next 
year. 
In the professional class Mr. Lester German broke 
297 out of 300; H. D. Gibbs, second, with 294; J. M. 
Hawkins, third, 292. R. Gerstel, of Grafton, W. Va., 
was high amateur with 290 out of 300; O. D. Williams, 
Luke, Md., second, with 283; R. S. Denniker, Ruffs- 
dale, Pa., third, with 277. The club members shooting 
the entire program were Frank Billmeyer, wi h 2i2; W. 
Rockwood, 264; Wm. Hubbs, 256. 
In the first day’s merchandise of 25 targets, O. D. 
Williams carried off first prize by breaking 25 straight; 
R. Gerstell and Clay Shaw, second, with 24 each. On 
the second day the merchandise event of 25 targets was 
won by A. K. Moreland, the popular young shot from 
our home club on 25 straight; J. M. Hawkins, R. 
Gerstell and W. Rockwood, 24 each.. 
On the first day squad No. 3, composed of Denniker, 
Holderbaum, Hubbs, Rockwood and Hawkins, made a 
perfect score of 75 targets. Squad No. 1, composed of 
Gerstell, German, Taylor, Gibbs and Gaylor, made a 
perfect score of 75 Col. N. W. Russler, of our home 
club, certainly worked hard to make this shoot a suc¬ 
cess. but was unable to shoot on account of a severe 
cold and being on the Home Coming Committee. The 
weather was perfect, except the sun being a little hot 
during the middle of the day. 
H. C. Beck, formerly a Cumberland boy, now located 
in Richmond, Va., made his first attempt at the trap, 
breaking 12 out of 25. This is the first time Mr. Beck 
ever handled a gun, and with a little practice would 
make all the boys stand up and take notice. 
J. M. Hawkins, the popular representative of the 
Winchester Repeating Arms Co., got busy and suc¬ 
ceeded in getting a few members for the American 
Game Protective and Propagation Association. 
The scores of the tournament are as follows:

Cincinnati Gun Club. 
There was a little doing at the grounds on Sept. 8 , 
though the weather was too hot for much activity. Lou 
Ahlers, one of the oid regulars, was out and showed that 
he hasn’t forgotten how to point, even if he has not done 
any shooting for a long time. Sampson showed some 
of his old form, and in the last 50 dropped but 2 targets. 
Schreck was the only one to go straight in any of the 
events. Secretary Davies went in with the boys, but has 
not yet got to going at his right pace. 
The club officers are looking for a big crowd at the 
tournament this week. Luther J. Squier will have 
charge. On Oct. 5, a match will be shot between T. H. 
Clay, Paris Kv., and E. Hammerschmidt, Covington, 
Kv., for the State championship cup, now held by 
Clay. This match is the result of a challenge issued by 
Hammerschmidt, but any Kentucky shooters can take 
part, and win the trophy and title, if they break enough 
targets. The scores follow: L. Ahlers (50) 43, Schreck 
(75) 68 , Sampson (100) 90, Davies (75) 54, McArdle 
(50) 38. 
Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
A few shooters gathered at the grounds on Sept. 8 
and braved the heat for the sake of their favorite sport. 
Not a breath of wind was stirring, and conditions were 
good. Richards was high man with 93. His last 50 tar¬ 
gets were shot from 16, 17 and 18yds., and he missed but 
2. His score included runs of 25 and 32. Supt. Taggart 
is improving in his work at the traps, and only needs a 
little consistent practice to hold his own with most of 
the frequenters of the grounds. 
The scores were: Ward (shot at 50) broke 43, Simp¬ 
son (50) 40, Kusson (50) 42, Williams (100) 80, Rhode 
(100) 74, Haskins (100) S3, Taggart (50) 39, Richards 
(100) 93.
