factory shoot on the afternoon of July 4. Seventeen 
shooters participated. We had three visitors from Bal¬ 
timore, Capt. Jas. R. Malone and Messrs. Cummings and 
Salabis. Capt. Malone shot in wonderfully good form, 
breaking 97 out of 100, and winning first choice of the 
prizes. Dan Orrison, of the home club, was next with 
96, Wagner scored 95, Peck and McNeir 92, Jos. H. 
Hunter 91, C. B. Wise 89, Dr. A. B. Stine 87, with 
others trailing down to as low as 67. Every shooter got 
a prize. The weather was very warm and kept many 
of the boys away. 
C. B. Wise and Phil Steubener did the best shooting 
at the regular weekly shoot of the Analostan Gun Club 
on July 8, as each finished with 89 per cent. Ideal 
weather conditions prevailed, and the scores were very 
good. The scores: C. B. Wise (shot at 100), broke 89, 
Steubener (200) 178, reck, Jr., (100) 85, Harrison (100) 
84, Kirvin (100) SI, Stine '(100) 79, Talbott (130) 101, 
Hawes (100) 68, Green (135) 85, Gibbs (100) 97, Parsons

Independent Gun Club. 
In one of the prettiest shoots ever held by the Inde¬ 
pendent Gun Club over the Keystone traps at Holmes- 
burg Junction, PI. Wiley, last Saturday, carried off the 
honors and the main prize after a keen contest that went 
through a shoot-off, totaling 24 breaks, while all his 
adversaries fell down in the final test. Wiley, with Joel 
Davis, Dr. Ford and W. H. Mathews, all tied, their han¬ 
dicaps bringing them up to the 100 mark. There was 
nothing to the shoot-off but Wiley, and his victory is 
all the more creditable, as, after shooting his last string, 
he was called upon to get into the shoot-off without 
any chance to rest. Wiley had a liberal handicap, but so 
unerring was his aim that he would have won without 
his addition of broken targets. 
There was a close contest for the spoon for high gun 
between W. H. Mathews, of Trenton, and Harry Kahler, 
and though both had an even score up to the last event, 
the latter won by a single target, by breaking straight. 
The other spoon winners were W. B. Abbott, William 
Keene and Harris, the latter being a visitor, but under 
the system conceived by Secretary Robinson, none of 
the Independent members secured a score that qualified 
him for the prize. The scores:

The DuPont Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del., July 9.—Fred Gilbert, one of the 
most prominent entries in the Eastern Handicap event, 
to be shot on these grounds this week, was 
the high man at the Du Pont Gun Club’s regular 
weekly shoot yesterday afternoon. He broke 97 targets 
out of 100. W. H. Heer, W. B. Severn and L. S. Ger¬ 
man were tied for second place at 95. John R. Taylor, 
who was high average for professionals, at 16yd. targets 
in all Interstate shoots thus far this season, broke 94 
out of 100. All these men will be heard from in the 
week’s shooting. 
There was a good attendance, both of shooters and 
spectators, and some very fine shooting was done. In 
the T. Coleman du Pont merchandise shoot, Frank 
Mathewson won in Class 1—22 out of 25. Eugene E. du 
Pont and Stanley Touchton were tied in Class 2 at 23.

Sterling—North Platte. 
It was competitively and thermometrically hot at the 
shoot here July 6, between the Sterling (Colo.) and the 
North Plaite (Neb.) gun clubs. North Platte won by 
a scant margin, due mainly to the below-average shoot¬ 
ing of Dr. Ramsay and W. E. King. High individual 
was made by FI. J. Rebhausen, of North Platte, with 
94; second also went to North Platte with 93 for A.

Cleveland Gun Club. 
The hot weather cut down the attendance at the Cleve¬ 
land Gun Club, but in spite of lack of audience, A. B. 
Jones did some of the best shooting of the year, break¬ 
ing 96 out of 100 targets in the annual July trophy events. 
The sliding handicap was not marked by such good 
shooting. Dr.'A. I. Brown did best with 53 breaks out 
of 60 tries. The scores follow:

Trapshooting in British Columbia. 
The growing interest in trapshooting in the far 
Pacific Northwest is well demonstrated in the annual 
Dominion Day tournament held at Vancouver, B. C., 
on July 1. This is merely the annual shooting event 
at the traps incidental to that important public holiday, 
signifying the annual contest for the Provincial target 
championship as the principal event. There were any 
number of counter attractions on this day, but never¬ 
theless fifty-one contestants appeared at the traps for 
the day’s program, a number that one Leggett-Ideal 
trap, although it worked perfectly, was wholly in¬ 
adequate to handle. It was possible only to shoot about 
125 targets to the man, all non-residents and pro¬ 
fessionals staying out of the special events. 
The championship was won for the second consecutive 
time by Ture Olliver, one of the sterling young men of 
the Province, who have adopted this as their favorite 
sport. He made the highly creditable score of 48 out of 
50 shot at, and won without a tie. 
This club has excellent quarters on the National rifle 
range grounds, but this is too far out of town for regu¬ 
lar practice work, and an effort is now being made to 
locate on property closer in. Succeeding in this, Van¬ 
couver will have one of the best and livest gun clubs 
on the West Coast. 
The Revelstoke Gun Club also held its annual tour¬ 
ney in this week, with a good attendance. This event 
was marked by a challenge match for the Pacific In¬ 
dians’ challenge medal between L. R. Barkley, holder, 
J. A. Forbes, challenger, and H. E. Poston, C. E. Nink 
and R. J. Robinson as associate challengers. Barkley 
again won the race on his form at double shooting. On 
the 80 singles Forbes was 2 birds to the good and Pos¬ 
ton had the holder tied. Shooting in five frames of 20 
targets, the last consisting of 10 pairs, the detailed 
scores were: 
Barkley . 18 18 18 20 20 94 
Forbes . 18 18 20 20 15 91 
Poston . 19 20 18 IS 17 91 
Nink . 18 17 15 15 15 80 
Robinson . 14 15 13 14 12 68 
The Nelson Gun Club also held its annual tourney on 
June 30 to July 1, the details of which are not at hand, 
but advices received state there was a good attendance, 
and the famous “good times” of the Nelson meets were 
amply sustained. Westfield. 
Vancouver Gun Club. 
Vancouver, Wash., July 1.—T. Olliver, of Ladner, 
won the British Columbia coast championship with 48 
out of 50 targets at the tournament held here to-day. 
The Victoria team, composed of Crowe, Bechtell, and 
White, won the team shoot, smashing 54 out of 60. 
High aggregate prize, which did not include event 3, 
50-bird championship, nor No. 6, 20-bird team shoot, 
was won by E. E. Ellis, Seattle, with T. F. H. Crow, 
Victoria, second.

New Trapshooting Plant at King Edward. 
Toronto, July 10. —Ground was broken at King Ed¬ 
ward Park Thursday for the foundations of the club 
house and traps of a trapshooting establishment, which, 
when finished will be the most completely equipped 
thing of its kind in Canada. The shooting grounds 
are situated to the northeast of the racing stable, which 
stand just below the long grand stand. 
The club house will stand at the edge of the 40-acre 
grove of elms, which give Isle Gros Bois its name. The 
shooters will fire to the northeast, the afternoon sun at 
their backs, over a closely cropped green field, with a 
horizon so remote that the lowest flying targets will be 
projected against the skv.
