calling for the target. Barto came in for first honors

Adams Gun Club. 
Adams, Neb.. Nov. 8.—Two days’ smoke joy ended 
to-day with Bill Ridley, from over "I. O. Way,” occupy¬ 
ing upper berth for the tournament. Brother Bill took 
the scales ofi the sun’s rays to the tune of 287 out of 
300. Another Bill—Hoover— was sent in for second lucre; 
he split with Y’arner on 2S0 busted rocks. The one- 
armed phenom., George Maxwell, got the for-wads-onlv 
honors with 282. A remarkable demonstration of re¬ 
versal of trap form was that of Carter, a targets-only 
exponent, who cracked 141 on opening day and 133 on 
second day. Scores of first day:

The open season is responsible for the small attend¬ 
ance at the weekly shoot on Nov. 17. The call of the 
clays was not strong enough to keep most of the regu¬ 
lars from going afield for a try at the real birds. The 
weather conditions were perfect, but the shooters could 
not hit up their usual gait at the traps. Hammerschmidt

The Northern Kentucky Gun Club has gone a-hunt- 
ing, and there will be little doing at their traps until 
after the season closes. H. R. Irwin visited Falmouth, 
Ivy., for the opening day, Nov. 15, and will go to Glas¬ 
gow Junction this week with several other sportsmen. 
Capt. George Dameron leaves early this week for a few 
days’ hunt in Greenup county, and expects later to join 
Irwin’s party at Glasgow. Hammerschmidt has been 
Going a little rabbit hunting, and has had good success. 
He also is thinking of a trip to Glasgow. Supt. Arthur 
Gambell took his place on the firing line for the first 
time since his accident, and broke 76 per cent, of his 
targets. Scores follow

Birmingham Gan Club. 
Fifteen shooters were at the weekly shoot of the 
Birmingham Gun Club. The weather was fine and good 
scores were made. Several of the shooters were using 
20-gauge guns. We now have a full squad of 20-gauge 
marksmen. Professional P. B. Plummer shot with us, 
but for some reason was shooting away below his aver¬ 
age. He probably works too hard helping the secretary. 
K. H. Baugh shot high percentage for the day. Some 
of the shooters have been hunting, and report plenty of 
birds. Scores were made as follows:
