Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, Ill., Nov. 25.—The pleasant weather of to-day 
induced twelve shooters to come out for an afternoon’s 
sport at the traps. Stannard scored one 24 out of 25. 
while Young, MacLachlan and Stannard each had one 19 
out of 20 to their credit. Dickerman has returned from 
his two months’ trip abroad; he is looking hale and 
hearty as ever, and although he did no shooting while 
away, he broke a good share of his targets to-day. Bristol 
is doing splendid for a beginner, while Miss Sullivan is 
also improving her scores rapidly.

Nov. 26.—The weather to-day was simply ideal for this 
time of the year, but the attendance of shooters at our 
park was cut down to fifteen, as quite a number are out 
after game, and more than a dozen of our members at¬ 
tended the shoots at Clearing and Riverside. 
Humpfer came over from Hammond in his auto, bring¬ 
ing his better half and a number of friends with him. 
Tavender, Bruette, Miss Walker and Dr. Griffith were 
shooting their 20-gauge guns, the latter also making some 
excellent shots with his 28-gaugc. 
Bue turned in the highest score in the 25-target frames 
when he broke 23, Humpfer doing the best in the 20- 
target events by scoring one string of 19. This was the 
first trial at the traps for several of the above shooters.

Manhasset Bay Y. C.

Next the regular prize shoots begin. Mr. C. M. Gould 
has presented a shotgun to go to the winner of the 
greatest number of legs on the yearly prize. There will 
also be a prize each month, open only to members. 
The sweepstake events, however, are open. 
Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
Most of the members who are still active in the club 
are away field shooting, so that the attendance on Nov. 
26 was not quite up to the mark. The day was a beauti¬ 
ful one, the only drawback to the conditions being a 
slight haziness, which made the targets difficult to see in 
the latter part of the afternoon. Irwin was the only 
man to shoot at 100, and he fell a little below his 
average, owing to a new gun, which he was trying for 
the first time. McArdle did a part of his shooting with 
a new_ 20-gauge, which he has just bought for field use, 
and his score was some less than usual. In the trophy 
event, Dameron broke 42, Irwin 41, and Luverne (Dr. 
Gould) 39. There are only five more matches for the 
trophy, and it looks like a pretty close race between 
Dameron and Irwin. Keefer shot in an event at doubles, 
breaking 11 out of 12 pairs; McArdle 13, Trwin broke 9 
out of 7 pairs, and Dameron 9 out of 6 pairs. The two 
latter shot the balance of the box of shells at singles, 
going back one yard after each shot, and finished in a 
tie on 20 out of the 25 targets, the last shot being from

You can

of mechanism it handles .22 short, 
long or long-rifle cartridges, perfectly. The 
deep Ballard rifling develops maximum power 
and accuracy and adds years to the life of rifles. 
The solid top is protection from defective cartridges—prevents 
powder and gases from being blown back. The side ejection 
never lets ejected shells spoil your bead and allows quick, accurate 
repeat shots. With simple take-down construction, removable 
action parts—least parts of any .22—it is the quickest and easiest 
to clean. A great vacation rifle. Ask any gun dealer.

25yds. Dameron and Keefer had a few days’ hunting 
just back of Augusta, Ky. 
The hunting was good, but they got only a few birds. 
The former will try other localities this week, and hopes 
for better luck. McArdle will take a few days off in 
Adams county this week, where birds are reported plen¬ 
tiful. Gould and Taggert put in one day in the fields 
near home and got some birds. Last year the former 
bagged 32 birds on the home grounds during the season, 
having excellent sport.

Larchmont Y. C. 
The shooting division of the Larchmont Yacht Club 
opened the regular shooting season last Sunday with 
seventeen trappists on deck. Fourteen faced the traps 
in the first contest, a 10-target competition from scratch, 
which was won by W. J. Elias with a full score. The 
same number shot in the 15-target scratch contest, and 
this was won by J. Henry with a full score. 
Then began the shoots for the regular prizes. The 
monthly cup was the first, in which seventeen com¬ 
peted. R. L. Spotts was the winner. He broke 25 
straight. The shoot for the accumulation cup was at 
50 targets, and the aim of C. W. Chance proved the best 
in this. He broke all of his 50 targets. 
A bronze medal and bar was the prize for a 100-target 
match, and this was won by R. J. Held with a total of 
98 broken. J. G. Batterson tied with T. J. McCahill in 
the shoot for the first leg for the new prize offered by 
A. Bryan Alley. Both shot full scores of 25, and in the 
shoot-off, Batterson won. Eighteen competed in this 
match. 
R. L. Spotts was the winner in a special match in 
which nine shot. His score was 24, and in the high gun 
contest, J. Henry, shooting against twelve others, won 
the silver medal and bar offered as a prize.
