Scammon Gun Club. 
Scammon, Kans., Oct. 11.—Herewith are results of our 
registered shoot of Oct. 10 and 11. We were much dis¬ 
appointed^ in the size of the attendance, but the quality 
helped. The weather looked very stormy, and it had 
turned cold, which was probably the cause of quite a 
few not coming, as up to the evening previous to the 
shoot, it looked like the heavens might go at any time. 
\V e will have to try and get out a larger crowd at some 
future time. 
Genial Dave Elliott kindly cashiered the shoot for us. 
Dave is a good fellow, well met, but when he broke 15 
straight and bet George he could not tie it, he looked 
some sad in a few minutes. He said that Mackie can’t 
shoot for money, but oh my, when there’s a cigar up. 
The following is the result of the live-bird shoot, a"ll 
shooting at 11 birds instead of 12, because of shortage of 
birds: Murphy 10, Mackie 10, J. W. Morton 9, Jas. 
Morton 9, H. Dixon 9, Cooper 9, T. Quinn 9, Batten "9, 
Ouarton 8, Campbell 8, Durkee 8, Jordan 7, these being 
the money winners. 
We wish to take this opportunity of thanking the 
Interstate Association for the kind donation toward our 
average money, as well as all of the sporting papers for 
carrying dates of our tournament. Also the visiting 
shooters, both professional and amateur, for their at¬ 
tendance. 
Results of Squier money-back system: Donation bv 
the Interstate Association, $100; targets trapped at 1 
cent each, $75.30; extra entry fee of $1, $35.30; total, 
$210.60. Total amount of losses $104.35, leaving a surplus 
for high guns of $106.25. 
Those who benefited by the system: Dixon, $26.30; 
Campbell, $18.02; Mackie, $14.84; Wells, $11.66; Jordan, 
$10.60; Joe Quinn, $8.48; Tom Quinn, $6.36; Grindle, 
$5.30; McDonald, $4.34; total, $106.25.
