Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, July 30.—A beautiful day and ideal conditions 
for target shooting brought out a field of twenty-five 
shooters, and quite a number of our regulars attending 
the tournament at Clearing. 
The scores were well up in the eighties and nineties, 
even the new beginners doing quite well. 
Fred Bills celebrated 1 is return to Chicago by breaking 
98 out of the 100 in the two club events. ,T. G. Bolton 
gave him a close rub by finishing with 97, breaking his 
last three frames straight. Seelig, Jr., and Dr. Bosler 
were next in line to Bolton in event No. 1, each break¬ 
ing 45. while Seelig, Sr., broke 44, Bue making the same 
score. 
Bolton and Bills having “copped” first and second in 
the handicap event,. Kiley and Seelig', Sr. and George 
each broke 46 for third place, while Mott, Seelig, Jr. and 
Bue tied with 45 each. 
In the practice event Thwaite and Kammerer tied for 
first honors with 22 out of 25, Clark and Rose being next 
in line with 21, while Kiley and Richelsen each broke 20. 
Thwaite shot two extra frames and broke 45. 
Seelig, .Tr., has had the stock of his gun refitted, and he 
certainly did not work with it to-day, and “pop” will 
have to look to his laurels from now on. 
Dr. Belknap’s gun is in the hospital for repairs, which 
accounts for his score being below 1 his usual form. 
Clark has done no trapshooting for ten years, but has 
concluded to join our club and yet back into the sport. 
O’Malley did fine for his second attempt. 
The winners of the five-dollar target ticket books for 
July are as follows: L. M. Fetherston, Class A; \V. A. 
Davis, Class B; B. L. Kammerer, Class C; O. P. Goode, 
Class D, and T. P. Bue, Class E. One of these books is 
given to the winner in each of the five classes each 
month and are certainly worth trying for, so come out, 
get into the scrap and make it interesting for the other 
fellow to win it from you.

July 29.—Although the weather looked rather threaten¬ 
ing for a while, seventeen shooters concluded to try their 
skill at the traps to-day. 
In the practice event at 25, Fosetti and Ammann each 
broke 23, Taggart landed 22 and Cutler brought down 21. 
Graham took first place in event No. 1 with 46 out of 
50, Barto and Ammann tying for second place with scores 
of 45, while Fetherston, Cutler, May and Davis each 
scored 44. 
In the handicap event, Ammann broke 49 from the 
17yds. mark, Graham making the same score from 16yds. 
Fetherston was next with 48 from the 22yds. mark. Tag¬ 
gart broke 46 from the 19yds. mark, McLachlan 45 from 
the 21yds. mark and Barto 44 from the 22yds. mark. 
Event No. 3, at 12 pairs, landed Taggart first with 19, 
Davis second with 18, and Graham broke 17. Another 
frame of 12 pairs resulted in somewhat better scores for 
all, Davis making it 21 breaks, Graham 20, Fosetti 18 and 
Dickerman 17. 
Mrs. Cutler did fine to-day, shooting' her last 50 from 
18yds.

July 27.—On Thursday afternoon eleven shooters had a 
pleasant time at our park, the first five having come over 
from Blue Island.

strong finish, for after six in his first frame of 25, he lost 
only 7 out of his last 75. 
Davis put up the best score in any one frame by 
breaking 24 in his third trial after which he broke 21. 
out of 12 pairs of doubles.

Pawtuxet Gun Club. 
Providence. R. I., Aug. 1.—The Pawtuxet Gun Club 
has just finished a very pleasant season of trapshooting, 
one of the features of which was the series of shoots for 
the Du Pont fob, which was finally won by William 
Stainton, with Chas. Dillon, the runner-up, only one win 
behind. Messrs. Richards, Willis, Colwell, Mason, Shel¬ 
don and Gallup also had wins to their credit. 
The club will take a rest through August and resume 
shooting again in September, for a short season. The 
scores of Saturday, Tuly 29, follow:

Victoria Gun Club. 
South Bethlehem. Pa., Aug. 5—In a live-bird shoot 
before the traps of the Victoria Gun Club at LTniversity 
Park, Sheehan was high gun. McCarthy was high gun 
in the blue rock event. The scores: 
Twenty-five live birds—Sheehan 24, Knowles 23, Mc¬ 
Carthy 21, Devlin 18. 
Fifty targets—McCarthy 47, Knowles 45, Sheehan 44, 
Devlin 39. 
St. Paul Rod and Gun Club. 
Minneapolis, Minn., July 31. —Quite a number of the 
faithful faced the traps at the weekly shoot, held on the 
St. Paul Rod and Gun Club’s grounds on Saturday 
afternoon, July 29. The day was ideal for good scores, 
but for some reason, unexplainable, the trap devotees 
failed to produce scores in harmony with their general 
averages—possibly the light and the constant balking of 
the traps may have had something to do with the final 
outcome. 
Following are the scores:

Mrs. Famechon’s 13 out of 15 in the 4th event was a 
beauty. Her time and the manner in which she snuffed 
out her targets would have done a veteran credit. 
Capt. Jack Wolf was on hand, but his score does not 
reflect his true capabilities. 
Jean Parker was high gun for the amateurs with a 92 
out of 100, tieing Hirschy of the professionals. 
McGraw was close up and is usually found among the 
leaders, if his friend, “flinch,” does not interpose. 
Harrison would have been closer up, but the straight¬ 
aways were his stumbling block. 
F. R. Agnew, of Lethbridge, Alberta, was on hand, 
and trust he will favor us with his company again. 
Famechon was slow in starting, but finished his last 
50 with only two down. 
Brady and his new Sauer are getting acquainted. He 
will do better next time. “Trap.” 
New Haven Gun Club. 
Owing to a wash-out in the scorer’s tent, some of the 
scores of the tournament held here Aug. 3 and 4 are 
missing. It seems an assured fact, however that, though 
all else failed. J. E. Taylor won the coffee percolator 
in event one, day two, with 46 out of 50 at 18yds. In the 
regular events, Charles Nichols was high amateur, dust¬ 
ing 275 out of 300; T. T. Anthony broke 268 and W. J. 
Terry one less, all shooting from l9yds. Geo. Lyons was 
high professional with 286. Scores:
