dise events, aggregate value, $150. A generous purse

Col. William Barlow, of the British army, who ar¬ 
rived last week by the Atlantic Transport liner Minne- 
waska, is on his way to Canada to look into the merits 
of the Ross rifle, which the Canadian marksmen used 
in winning most of the trophies at the recent English 
rifle meet. It is said that the British army is seeking a 
new arm to equip its infantry.

At the Amenia Field Day, Amenia, N. Y., on Aug. 19, 
a trapshooting contest for novices was conducted under 
the supervision of Mr. Frank Stephenson, amateur 
champion, in order to encourage this form of sport 
among the farmers of Dutchess county. H. Benson took 
first prize, A. E. Benham second, and third was divided 
between Messrs. Fry and Newman. Mr. Stephenson 
gave an exhibition of his skill; and the whole affair was 
a very pleasant addition to the Field Day, which attracted 
five thousand people of this farming community.

The Litchfield, Ky., Gun Club was organized on Aug. 
1 of this year, with thirty members, and it is safe to 
say, there is no more flourishing gun club in the State 
of Kentucky than this same club. The president is 
W. C. Killick; Vice-President, W. W. McCall. John W. 
Morrman, the Secretary, is a hustler with a first-class 
idea of publicity with a full knowledge of its value. The 
club gives two shoots each week, each man shooting 25 
rounds. They gave exhibition shoots Aug. 17 and 18 
at the Grayson county fair, and were classed among the 
leading attractions.

I have had no less than fifty inquiries from shooters in 
different cities within the last few weeks asking for the 
names of gun clubs within short distance of different 
cities throughout the country. These men write that 
they want to join good clubs, where they may shoot 
once a week. I have taken pleasure in placing these 
gentlemen happily. There are many good clubs about 
which I have not full information, such as dates of 
shoot, conditions, dues, etc. Beginning with the issue 
of Sept. 16, and monthly thereafter, I will publish a 
tabulated list of gun clubs, with their distances from a 
given center. If you are interested in building up your 
club’s membership through our efforts, and, at no 
expense to you, kindly send me, at once, full particu¬ 
lars of your club, including the number of members at 
present enrolled.

The harmless looking person who steals to the rail of the 
ferryboat and drops a glittering object in the river is 
probably not' an anarchist disposing of a bomb, but a 
law-abiding citizen trying to get rid of the revolver 
which has been in the bureau drawer for years as pro¬ 
tection against burglars. For, under the new Sullivan 
law, which went into effect on Sept. 1, any one in the 
State of New York who has in his possession a re¬ 
volver is liable to be found guilty of a misdemeanor and 
fined. It cannot be sold or given away. Only stores 
licensed by the Police Commissioner will be permitted to 
sell revolvers, and the buyer must show a permit to 
carry one signed by the Police Commissioner or a city 
Magistrate. The sale is recorded for the inspection of 
the police. Commissioner Waldo spent some time with 
Chief Magistrate McAdoo yesterday, going over the 
provisions of the law and making sure that their inter¬ 
pretations of it corresponded. Whether or not a pawn¬ 
shop with a large stock of revolvers and other small 
weapons will get a license to sell them will depend upon 
the reports that are turned in by the captains of pre¬ 
cincts. The number of such pawnshops will probably 
be cut down. All the books of stores selling revolvers 
will be examined regularly. So, after this, if a citizen 
wishes to have a weapon as protection against burglars, 
he will have to buy a rifle or a shotgun loaded with 
buckshot. The latter weapon is advocated by Com¬ 
missioner Waldo. 
The Liberty Island Rod and Gun Club, which num¬ 
bers among its members the best sportsmen in Brooklyn 
and Eastern New York, will hold its annual clam bake 
on Sept. 17. A jolly time is safely predicted. 
The officers of the club are: Daniel O’Reilly, Presi¬ 
dent; Montford Decker, Vice-President; Jacob Rausch, 
Secretary-Treasurer. The Board of Directors inc’ude 
Howard Housman, chairman; Captain Thomas Price, 
Alfred Housman, Joseph Rush, Eugene Griffith, Nick 
Brennan, Winfield S. Ewing and H. N. Wilson. 
Among the members are E. B. Barnum, H. F. Ehler, 
F. Guile, P. J. Griffith, M. Levy, R. Cleva, Captain W. 
Burton, Captain E. Van Arsdale, George Johnson and 
Peter Sturcke.

Bradford Gun Club. 
Bradford, Pa., Aug. 25.—George E. Painter, of Pitts¬ 
burg, succeeded in defending his title to the State 
championship for trapshooting at the Foster Brook 
grounds of the Bradford Gun Club to-day, defeating 
Harry M. Kahler, of Philadelphia, the score being, 
Painter 97, Kahler 95, from 18yds. This event was 
one of the most interesting ever witnessed in the city 
and was also very exciting. Mr. Painter won the title 
at DuBois several months ago, and the trophy was sub¬ 
ject to challenge. Mr. Kahler saw fit to try for the 
championship and the match was arranged for Ilradford’s 
annual green corn shoot. 
The weather was bad and rain fell much of the time 
while the men were at the traps. 
In the professional class Hawkins was high gun for 
the two days, breaking 292 targets out of a possible 
300. Kahler was high in the amateur class for the two 
days, breaking a total of 287 targets. 
For the Holley trophies there were seven entries of 
three-man teams. The Audubon team, of Buffalo, con¬ 
sisting of Kelsey, Hilliker and Wright won, breaking 
a total of 214 targets out of a possible 225. A Bradford 
team, consisting of Conneely, F. Korner and Henline, 
was second, breaking 213 targets, and a Pittsburg team, 
Calhoun, Painter and Johnston, was third with 207 tar¬ 
gets. 
The merchandise ties left unfinished Thursday night 
were shot off Friday morning, and it required 105 tar¬ 
gets to decide the winners of the first prizes. 
The annual green corn shoot was conducted under 
the personal direction of L. J. Squier, of Pittsburg, 
and was one of the most successful ever held by the 
local gun club. The following are the scores made by 
the shooters the first and second days and their totals:

Sioux Falls Gun Club. 
Secretary J. J. Burns is some shooter, but when it 
comes to keeping score for publication, he must write 
with a broken piece of No. l l /z chilled shot, or else he 
never tried his pencil for pattern before using it at a 
competition. It seems reasonably safe to guess that W. 
S. Iloon was high man, for the two days, with 283 out 
of 300. The rest of the amateur scores you will have 
to take as the compositor dopes ’em out. Fred Gilbert 
had high professional wished on him with 279 out of 
300, while H. G. Taylor had comparative ease and a 
low score in getting second money. He got 278. G. A. 
Olson tripped in with 264 and third gold dust. Hon. 
Tom Marshall smelled prairie chicken, and, looked for 
feathers on the blue rocks. He didn’t find the feathers 
and only found 261 targets.
