Roanok# Gun Club. 
Saturday, July 29, marks an epoch in the shooting 
annals of the Roanoke Gun Club, as Mrs. Ad. Topper- 
wein and her husband were guests of the club, she 
having the honor of being the first lady to shoot 
ever the traps of the club. The exhibition given by her 
and her husband was the most brilliant performance ever 
witnessed on the local grounds, feats with the revolver, 
shotgun and rifle which seemed- impossible of perform¬ 
ance being perfected. The coming of the Topperweins 
had been extensively advertised, and a large crowd of 
visitors and shooters showed their appreciation by being 
present. 
The club wishes to thank the public for the hearty 
reception given these professionals, and their attendance 
upon the shoot. The club is always glad to see any 
visitors, and it is hoped that more will attend the shoots. 
No admission fee whatever is required to witness the 
shooting, and the grounds are always open to visitors. 
The weekly medals offered by the club were won by 
the following members, shooting from the yard line 
shown below: 
Class A medal—S. S. Scholl.

Pacific Indians Challenge Trophy. 
Incidental to the Seattle Potlatch tournament, July 18- 
21, there were shot three races for the Chingren-Pacific 
Indians challenge trophy. 
On the preliminary day, Mr. Barkley defended the 
trophy against W. A. Hillis, of Portland, but was tied 
by Guy E. Holohan, of Spokane. 'Pen men participated. 
The scores were: Barkley 96, Holohan 96, Hillis 95, Pos¬ 
ton 93, Farmin 93, Dryden 91, Fischer 91, R. Miller 89, 
P. Holohan S3, Reid 91. 
On the first regular day Barkley and Holohan de¬ 
cided their tie, and again tied up, but both were de¬ 
feated by Jas. McLaughlin, of Seattle, who broke his 
SO singles - straight, and lost but two in the doubles. 
Scores: Barkley 96, Holohan 96, McLaughlin 98, Riehl 
92, Caldwell 90, Farmin 89, Dryden 89, Miller 87. 
Finally, on the last day, ten more contestants entered 
the lists, and Barkley, through his form on the doubles, 
again won out. Scores: Barkley 96, Riehl 94, Poston 93, 
Farmin 93, McLaughlin 91, Fischer 91, G. Holohan 88, 
Reid 88, Dryden 87, Miller 85. 
Thus is again demonstrated the popularity of challenge 
shooting. Only one race between two men was sched¬ 
uled for this meet, but all wanted to participate, and 
the great public interest demanded that the race be shot 
each day, so that 2800 targets were added to the credit 
of this trophy, making a total of 8600 shots in competi¬ 
tion for it within a year. Westfield.

Lester S. German, that wonder¬ 
fully skillful shot from Maryland, who 
won High Professional Average at the 
recent Eastern Handicap with a score 
of 393 x 400, 98^%, shooting Win¬ 
chester “Leader’’ Shells, gave a further 
convincing demonstration of his skill 
and of the superior shooting qualities 
of that load by breaking the program 
of 150 targets straight at Danbury 
on July 22d. 
The Pahquioque Rod and Gun 
Club, under whose able management 
the shoot was given, had everything 
working to perfection but the wind. 
That was obstreperous, being gusty at 
times, making the tirgets duck and 
jump and, consequently, high scores 
hard to hang up. All of which goes 
to show what a wonderful performance Mr. German’s was, and 
what a corking load he was shooting. 
Out of the 109 shooters attending the tournament, over 50% of 
them used Winchester Shells and 33% Winchester Shotguns. This 
is indicative of the high regard in which Red \N goods are held in 
the little old Wooden Nutmeg State where they are made.

Analostan Gun Club. 
Washington, D. C., July 30.—Since the last report 
to your paper the Topperweins paid a visit to our club. 
They were chaperoned by Lloyd Lewis and Lynn Worth- 
ington, the latter being the business manager for the 
famous experts, while in his territory. The exhibition 
was one of the best ever seen on the local grounds and 
was witnessed by a large number of people. Besides 
the fancy shooting, Mrs. Topperwein shot at 100 targets 
and scored 90 of them. Lewis and Worthington made 
good scores. After the exhibition was over some of the 
local boys finished their 100, and Peck and Harrison 
each scored 96 out of 100. 
On Tuly

E. H. Storr was a visitor, and succeeded in breaking 
98 out of 100. This is the second time lately he has made 
this record on our grounds. C. B. Wise scored 96, 
which was going some for a man who had had as little 
practice as he has had this year. 
The following members were successful in the spoon 
shoot: 
Class 4—Wise, 49 out of 50. Class B—Stine, 44; Class 
C—Drain, 38; Class D—Green, 34.
