Laurel Gun Club. 
Our compositors have been setting gun scores for 
passing thirty-seven years, and not much comes in that 
they can’t fine-comb into legibility, but I can’t see 
where they will get off on this one from Secretary 
Green, of Laurel, Miss. If it is full of mistakes, we 
wrn’t hang it on the printer—it’s not his fault. We 
manage to extract from the mess the fact that Guy 
MacMurdo was high gun in special events—Aug. 15, 
99 out of IOO; Aug. 16, 98 out of 100, which we may 
say for Mr. MacMurdo is mighty creditable shooting.

Greene County Gun Club. 
Xenia, O., Aug. 17.—Thirty-six enthusiastic gunners 
tunneled No. 7s through forty yards of atmospheric 
molhcules into blue clays at the registered tournament 
here to-day. H. E. Smith had a very good idea as to 
the terminus of the boring, striking true 139 times out 
of 150 tries; 137 brought Coburn and Webster to the 
opening together, somewhat ahead of the rest of the 
drillers. Snuff Taylor trickled through the ambient 
atmosphere successfully 143 times, while Chamberlain 
separated the luminous particles cheerfully 140 trips.

Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
II. R. Irwin was high gun at the weekly shoot of the 
club on Aug. 19, going out with 90. George Dameron 
was not in his usual form and got second place on 88, 
a low score for him, as he seldom falls out of the 90 per 
CCI j t ,. c ^ ass - Luverne is getting back into his old form, 
and did better work than ior some time, breaking 85, and 
getting third place in a field "of twelve shooters. There 
was no shooting at the grounds on Aug. 20, several of 
“l 6 regulars being at the tournament of the Cincinnati 
• U u . an d Williams are becoming pretty regular 
in their attendance at the Saturday afternoon shoots, 
1° * ar these shoots seem to be more popular than 
the Sunday event. The club’s next money-back shoot 
will be held on Sept. 3. There will be the usual pro¬ 
gram, and the club will add one or two extra events 
of sufficient interest to attract a good crowd. A ten- 
man team shoot has been arranged with the N. C. R. 
l.un Club, of Dayton, O., to take place about the middle 
ot September, the first match to be held on the latter’s 
grounds. It is hoped that this series will be only the 
first of many others, and the club officers will be glad 
to hear from any clubs in this vicinity with the view of 
arranging for inter-club matches during the fall and 
winter.

Sudden Death of Prominent Pacific CoastTrapshot 
It is not often we are called upon to announce the 
death of a more ardent sportsman and good all-around 
fellow that the late Jim McLaughlin, of Seattle, Wash. 
Mr. McLaughlin was taken ill on Aug. 5 about 6 
P. M., and died at the age of fifty-two from an attack 
of apoplexy about 11 P. M. same evening. He had 
been enjoying his usual health up to that time, and his 
untimely death was an exceedingly severe shock to his 
family and friends at large. He was a widower and 
leaves a grown-up son and daughter. He was one of 
the oldest members of the Seattle Gun Club and Sports- 
JIM M’LAUGHLIN, SEATTLE, WASH. 
men’s Association of the Northwest, as well as the State 
Sportsmen’s Association, having won many trophies at 
the various Pacific Coast shooting tournaments during 
the past ten years, was well known and respected by 
every sportsman from California to British Columbia. He 
was a man of even, pleasant temperament, never engaging 
in any disputes, and always had a good word for others, 
was never known to boast and consequently made many 
lasting friends wherever he went. 
In the death of Jim, whose faults were few and his 
virtues many, the Pacific Coast trapshooters, and es¬ 
pecially the Seattle Trapshooters’ Association, feel that 
they have lost one of their most highly esteemed com¬ 
rades, and one who was always respected for his many 
sterling qualities, and we sincerely deplore his untimely 
end, and extend to his bereaved family our deepest and 
most sincere sympathy. E. E. Ellis. 
Vice-Pres. Sportsmen’s Assn, of Northwest. 
Indianapolis Gun Club. 
Indianafoiis, Ind., Aug. 19.—There being no trophy

but 4 out of 135 Parry 
was second with 90 
per 
cent. 
Barr, professional, made a

Fairmont Gun Club. 
Fairmont. W. Va., Aug. 18.—-The attendance at the 
two-day registered shoot of the Fairmont Gun Club 
was hardly up to the mark deserved by $185 added in 
money and prizes, but the lack of attendance was made 
up by the quality of the shooters. The conditions were 
good, and some long runs made. Woolfolk Henderson 
annexed a Du Pont bar with 147 straight. On the first 
day Henderson was high with 146, but the second day 
Wiede came along at his old clip with 147. High ama¬ 
teur was Dr. Edward, with Wiedebush and Williams 
tied for second. Henderson was high professional, with 
Taylor second. Scores: 
Merchandise event, open, 25 birds: Henderson 25, 
Taylor 25, Nolder 24, Johnson 24, Williams 24, Hawkins 
23, Fisher 23, Edwards 23, Gustell 23, Wiedebush 22,

Charlotte Gun Club. 
Charlotte, N. C., Aug. 17.—J. M. Hawkins, profes¬ 
sional, was the lion of the three-day tournament finished

and followed the next day with a straight of 150. Walter 
Huff, professional, was second high with 433. H. G. 
Wells, professional, stood third with 429. First amateur 
was Geo. M. Collins, who shot consistently, finally hang¬ 
ing up 427. Chas. Nichols broke 424 and C. C. Bates was 
in third money with 418. J. H. Drehar won the North 
Carolina Championship, the added event of 100 birds on

tied at 94. Geo. M. Collins won the special merchan¬ 
dise event on the second day with 97 out of 100, while 
the special sweep on the third day was won by Nichols
