It was an enthusiastic meeting that the Hillside Gun 
Club held at Emails, Pa., Aug. 19, at which time several 
new members were elected and plans for the fall an¬ 
nounced. At the same time Ed. Knauss was elected 
President; Ray Krauss, Vice-President; Fred Albitz, 
Secretary; Milton Srortz, Warden; Clarence Stahler and 
Ambrose Reinbold, Trustees.

Section 21, Act cf 1907, Province of Ontario, says: “No 
gun of the description known as automatic, in which the 
recoil is utilized to reload the gun, shall be used in this 
province in the killing of game.” Supt. Brinstey, of the 
Ontario Game and Fisheries Commission, writes me: 
“This section does not apply to auto-loading rifles, but to 
the shotgun only.” This paragraph answers dozens of 
letters from subscribers asking an interpretation of the 
act. There seems to be a general impression, among 
big-game hunters, that the auto-loading rifle is pro¬ 
hibited. It is not. 
1 he most important shoot to be given this season in 
California, is that tenth anniversary prize shoot of the 
Shell Mound Pistol and Rifle Club, to be held on Sept. 
9 and 10, on the Shell Mound Park shooting range. 
Every pistol, revolver and rifle shot throughout the 
country is greatly interested, and as both days are holi¬ 
days in California there will be no reason for any marks¬ 
man not attending this shoot. Capt. Geo. Larson, who 
is president of the club, predicts that the shoot will be 
a successful one, as the inducement offered by the club 
is very great—the club offers $1000 in cash for rifle, and 
the pistol range is given $100 besides; $1500 in cash, 
merchandise, etc., has been donated by friends of the 
club, and manufactures. This is the first attempt at a 
public prize shoot, and success is surely in store. 
Ye Oak Meadow Gun Club, at Sandusky, O., will hold 
its first registered tournament on Sept. 2. The pro¬ 
gram includes ten events of 15 targets each, entrance 
$10. Squier money-back system in vogue. The club has 
added $25 to the purse, and a bronze medal to high 
average professional and high average amateurs, longest 
straight run and to the winner of each event. The of¬ 
ficers are: Aug. Kuebler, Jr., President; E. Lea Marsh, 
Vice-President; W. A. Magoon, Secretary; Dr. J. K. 
Douglas, Treasurer; Ira C. Krupp, Manager; Dr. J. D. 
Parker, Field Captain. Squad Hustlers—Trap No. 1, 
Fred H. Zinn; Trap No. 2, Roy H. Parker. Referees, 
Ed. Knopf, Chas. Bogert. Pullers, Ed. Heiberger, Wal¬ 
ter Young. This is one of the hustling clubs of the 
West, and it is certain that no shooter will leave its 
grounds dissatisfied and empty-handed. 
On Labor Day will be held the tournament of the 
Hunters’ Club of Onondaga County, Inc., Syracuse, 
N. Y. The officers of the club are: Albert W. Perrior,

ing begins for the inspection of those who wish to enter. 
The handicaps of those entered will be given by the

The Central News states that the remarkable feat of 
killing seven lions and wounding two others with ten 
shots fired within ten minutes has attracted attention 
among sportsmen in British East Africa. The hero of 
this achievement is a young Dutchman, Mr. Postma, 
the son of a clergyman of the Transvaal Reformed 
Church, who is only twenty-one years of age. Mr. 
Postma had been sent with a wagon and oxen into the 
Guasno Nyiro district. He was accompanied by two 
natives. At dawn Postma and the wagon reached a little 
stream known as Deep Dale. No sooner had the oxen 
been turned ioose than they were attacked by nine lions. 
In an instant Postma jumped on the wagon, caught up 
his rifle, a .350 bore, and opened fire on the marauders, 
who had already dragged down and killed one of the 
oxen. Less than ten minutes later three lions and four 
lionesses lay dead on the ground, the nearest but fifteen 
yards away. The remaining two, badly wounded, had 
made off.
