Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago. Ill., Oct. 21.— When the shooters named in 
the scores below arrived at the club grounds to-day they 
found a steady downpour of rain awaiting them, and 
which had no let-up all afternoon, but they came out 
to shoot, and as most of them had ‘‘rainy weather togs” 
they were soon ready and went at it. As it was quite 
dark all afternoon, the scores made by most of them 
are very good. Ammann gobbled up about everything 
in sight, going 50 straight in event 1, 47 out of 50 in 
the handicap event, and 42 out of 25 pairs on doubles. 
Davis and Goode both broke 47 in event 1, while Young 
and May both recorded scores of 46. Young landed 
high amateur in the handicap event with 45 out of 50 
from 21yds., while Davis was next in line with 43 from 
the same handicap. Fetherston broke 41 from the 24yd. 
line. Poole and Pace are two new members, who no 
doubt will very soon be making fine scores.

Oct. 22. — Just before noon to-day the heavy, dark 
clouds drifted away and we had a fairly pleasant after¬ 
noon after all the rain of the past few days. Twenty- 
six shooters, as well as quite a large number of spec¬ 
tators were out, and while several very good scores were 
recorded, most of them were below the average on ac¬ 
count of the stiff choppy wind from the west, which 
“ducked” many of the targets and fooled the marksmen. 
Thomas and Meisner tied for first place with scores 
of 24 each in the practice event; Flewelling and Kam- 
merer each scoring 23 for second place. 
First honors in event 1 were “copped” bv Thomas 
with a total of 45 out of 50, Flewelling and Seelig, Sr., 
being close after him with scores of 44 each, while 
Kammerer landed third place with 43. 
Flewelling was high amateur in the handicap event, 
when he broke 46 from the 20yd. mark, Clancey mak¬ 
ing the same score from 16yds., while Ed. O’Brien 
topped them all with 47 from 16yds. Seelig, Sr., brought 
down 42 from the 20yd. mark, while Meisner broke the 
same number from i6yds. 
Thomas landed three firsts out of the next four events, 
breaking 19 out of 24 in the first trial at doubles, then 
he tied with Ed O’Brien when both went straight on 
25 singles, and he rounded out his day’s work with 24 
out of 25 from 20yds. 
Clancey took first place in the second round at doubles 
by scoring 20 out of 13 pairs, and breaking 23 in each 
of the last events at singles. 
Several of the shooters had their first try-out at target 
shooting to-day, and while they did not break many 
targets they enjoyed the sport, and expect to come back 
soon for more of it. 
We are expecting a good big entry for our cham¬ 
pionship shoot Sunday, Oct. 29, and all who can pos¬ 
sibly come should come out and enjoy a splendid shoot.

have their club house finished, and everything in good 
condition. A dark, cloudy day made the targets hard to

Echoes from Ye Oak Meadow. 
The team representing the Cleveland Gun Club won 
the second shoot of the Cleveland-Sandusky team race, 
Saturday, Oct. 21. The boys arrived at 11:45, and 
President Kuebler entertained them at luncheon at the 
Sunyendeand Club. We expected eleven, and they ar¬ 
rived seventeen strong. Everyone of them “fine young 
men” and crack shots. They were taken to the range 
in autos and at 1:15 the popping began. Some of the 
boys thought the targets were a little low, but when 
that young chap Ledgett proved up with 50 straight, it 
sure was a “Maxim” to that conversation. One thing 
to be regretted was the fact that Manager Wallace 
doesn’t shoot well enough to accompany the team when 
they go out of town. Perhaps, it was just as well, as 
Manager Krupp, of the Sandusky team, had just 
eighteen shells loaded with sawdust, and had Wallace 
appeared, would have done his best to shoot his (Wal¬ 
lace) other arm off. 
Unhappily there was a lot of chestnuts boiling during 
the shoot, and every one noticed that a certain Board- 
man’s appetite for them was very keen. He attributed 
his 25 straight in the third event to the chestnuts, and 
has been busy explaining how he dropped four in the 
fourth event ever since. 
Capt. Freeman, of Cleveland, is a very busy man, but 
if he doesn’t stop his “knife habit,” he will carve his 
way into some young lady’s heart, and he will be 
busier. 
Doolittle is going to come to Sandusky every week 
to give instructions in the “art of bluerock shooting.” 
Fie now has a class of six, and has many more appli¬ 
cations. 
When Mr. Rogers’ new book, “Breaking Rocks at 
Night,” appears, the demand will be enormous. Please 
send me six copies. 
Our hats are off to Cleveland. They gave us a good, 
round beating, and we enjoyed it. Fine fellows. F'ine 
shots. And let’s have another race.
