Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, III., Sept. 7. — The pleasant weather to-day 
was quite a relief from the blistering heat of the past few 
weeks, and fifteen marksmen came out to the park for 
practice. Doc. May took them all by surprise when he 
cleaned up the bunch in the first program event of 50, in 
which he broke 49. He also did well in the practice 
event by scoring 21 out of 25, and made the same score 
in the handicap from the 20yd. mark. 
Goode was high amateur for the day, scoring 22 out 
of 25 in practice, 95 out of 100 in the two 50-target events, 
and finished up with 23 out of 25 from 20yds. in the 
handicap. Barto did unusually splendid work in the 
double event, when he broke his 24 straight. 
Although McDougal has done very little trapshooting, 
he put up very creditable scores. Fred Bills managed to 
lose 3 targets out of 
the 
125 singles he 
shot 
at, Ed 
Graham being close on 
his 
heels in the first two 
events.

Event No. 4 was the distance handicap. 
Sept. 8.—Although the weather was very hot to-day 
most of the marksmen who came out put up very ex¬ 
cellent scores. Dave Thomas topped the field by break¬ 
ing 99 out of 100 in the two 50-target club events, and 
then broke 47 out of 50 from 20yds. in the handicaps, 
after which he broke 21 out of 12 pairs in the doubles. 
Fred G. Bills broke 49 out of 50 in the first 50, and 
then went straight in the two handicaps. Silver was also 
going along at a fast clip, taking second place in the 
practice event with 23, scored 48 and 45 in the two 50- 
target events, and again made 48 in a match race with 
Taggart, the latter breaking 45. Taggart scored two 
straight frames of 25 each, one 23 and a 21 for a total of 
91 out of 100, with a strange gun, which he had never 
shot. Seelig, Jr., was right up close with the leaders in 
the first 50-target race, breaking 45.

Holbrook Gun Club to-day, and the boys who did 
venture out contended with the most difficult conditions 
ever experienced at the local range, a high wind from 
the left rear made shooting extremely difficult. 
M. R. Smith toojc first place in both sweepstake 
events, with Hulet second. Hulet and Rencher tied in 
the medal events, Hulet winning in the shoot-off.
