Hawkeye Gun Club. 
Fifty-six blue rockists smoked up the prairie atmos¬ 
phere in the annual registered tournament at Cedar 
Rapids, Iowa, on Aug. 1 and 2. The competition among 
the professionals was keen, their entries including Tom 
Marshall, Bill Crosby, Fred Gilbert and Geo. Maxwell. 
Marshall was way off form, making only 264 out of 300. 
The race between the other three cracks was about as 
pretty as one could ask. Crosby fell down badly in 
events Nos. 3 and 10 on the first day and in the first on 
the second day. Maxwell came back to him on the 7th 
event on the first day and 6th on the second day, bring¬ 
ing them into a dead heat at the finish with 287. Fred 
Gilbert shot pretty consistent throughout, with the ex¬ 
ception of the 2d event on the second day. He finished 
with 290. 
The race among amateurs was close between Muncy, 
Hollingsworth, Ridley, Huntley and White, their scores 
running pretty evenly from event to event. Huntley 
pulled away rapidly on the second day, finishing the ten 
events with a clean score. His final score was 293, 
which gave him the match and high average for both 
days in both classes. White slipped into second, one 
bird over Ridley, who broke 285.

F. M. Edwards, 
Big Four League. 
Pawnee, Okla., Aug. 3. —The Big Four added another 
successful tournament to its score yesterday and to-day. 
There were forty-five shooters in line. The weather was 
nigh perfect, with enough wind to cool but not enough 
to fool. 
Champion Harvey Dixon was there with the eye, get¬ 
ting 28S out of 300, but he was only two birds ahead of 
Wm. Veach, who was four up on F. Huston. At no 
time was there any certainty as to which of these three 
would win, until the final score was hung up. W. H. 
Heer, easily took professional honors with 292, beating 
second high professional, Ed. O’Brien, by twelve kills.

Kentucky 
Gun 
Club. 
The monthly money-back tournament of the club was 
held on Aug. 6, and was one of the best of the series, 
twenty shooters taking part in the regular and special 
events. The local men did not turn out as well as had 
been expected, but the out-of-town shooters were present 
in goodly numbers, among them were Messrs. Turrell 
and Dr. Maddox, of Harrison, O.; R. FI. Bruns, of 
Brookville, Ind.; C. Coffman, of Dublin, O.; I. FI. Heck¬ 
man, of Middleton, O.; G. G. Williamson, of Muncie, 
Ind.; C. L. Brandon, J. E. Walters and C. L. Moeller, 
of Circleville, O. “Ted” Barstow, of Columbus, O., the 
popular Winchester representative, was also on hand and 
helped make the occasion a pleasant one for the visitors. 
The mercury stood well up in the nineties during the 
afternoon, and the shooters suffered from the heat on the 
firing line. There was no wind to disturb the flight of 
the targets, and good scores were made by many of the 
contestants. 
The program consisted of ten 15-target events, entrance 
$1.40 in each; money divided Rose system, 5, 3, 2, 1, in 
the first five events, and 35, 30, 20 and 15 per cent, in the 
last five. There was an optional $2 sweep on the entire 
program, divided 50, 30 and 20 per cent. Instead of 
dividing the surplus in the money-back purse among the 
high guns, the club used it to purchase a trophy for the 
high man. 
There was a close race for high honors between George 
Dameron, one of the best of the local shots, and William¬ 
son. The latter was one target in the lead at the half¬ 
way post with 5 down to the former’s 6. In the next two 
events both went straight In the 8th event Williamson 
dropped 2 and Dameron went straight, giving him a lead 
of one target. In the 9th event Williamson got a lead 
of one target, and in the last event Dameron dropped 2 
to Williamson’s 3, and tied the total score on 139. The 
men were called to the score as soon as the program was 
finished, to decide the tie, and two shoot-offs were re¬ 
quired. In the first, Williamson missed his 14th target 
and went out with 24. Dameron smashed them all until 
his 24th, which he failed to hit. _ The second shoot-off 
was decided in Dameron’s favor, his 21st target only get¬ 
ting away, while Williamson dropped his 7th and 18th 
targets. 
The shoot-off finished, the first squad in the special 
event took its place on the firing line. In this event the 
short distance men shot first, and Johnson, one of the 
squad, finished with 23. This was high until the 19yds. 
men had finished, when it was found that Williamson 
had also scored 23. The shoot-off was started at once. 
Johnson shot in fine form, going straight to his 19th 
target, which he missed, and finishing with 24. William¬ 
son dropped his 4th, 13th and 23d targets, losing the 
match by 2 targets. Second high score for the day was 
made by J. A. Payne, 138. C. Coffman was third with 
137. R. H. Burns, was not in as good form as usual, 
and got no better than fourth place with 135. 
The money-back purse amounted to $43.75, and the 
losses to $23.55, leaving a surplus of $20.20, which was 
used to purchase the trophy. Ten of the shooters failed 
to win their entrance, and were reimbursed in sums rang¬ 
ing from 5 cents to $9. The office was in charge of Mr. 
E. Lamb, who has helped the club in this way during the 
season, and has given great satisfaction.

ML Kisco Gun Club. 
The opening of the new gun club at Mount Kisco was 
welcomed on last Saturday, not only by the attitude, but 
by the size of the crowd attending. The club grounds 
are charmingly situated in a delightful suburb of New 
York city, easy of access and with plenty of train service. 
The house-warming was a great success with many
