shot over the 'traps of the La Crosse Gun Club yester¬ 
day morning and by a small margin of one target 
took high gun honors away from J. Bartl. The ladies’ 
squad showed great improvement in their clay bird 
busting abilities and will soon be graduated from the 
beginners’ class.

Notes. 
The sixth annual registered target tournament of the 
Bryden Gun Club, Catasauqua, Pa., was witnessed by 
more than a thousand spectators in the midst of pouring 
rain. The fancy shooting of Mr. and Mrs. Topperwein 
of San Antonio, Texas had to be abandoned. 
Eighty shooters entered the race, as some exceptional 
trophies were to be shot for. Part of the seventh and 
all of the eighth event were shot in the rain, so the 
shoot was called off at the close of the eighth event 
while the rain was pouring in torrents. This finished 
the program on a total of 120 targets. H. J. Schlicher 
of Allentown, Pa., and J. G. Hand of Pottsville, tied 
on 118 breaks for high honors and a gold watch for first 
prize. In the shoot off each broke 24 targets; then each 
25; then each 24; then Hand broke 25 while Schlicher 
lost one; Hand scoring 98 and Schlicher 97 out of 100 
targets. Hand received the gold watch presented by 
the Allentown Leader and Schlicher received the first 
prize of the Interstate Association. 
A. S. Heil of Allentown was second on 115 breaks, 
received the second interstate Association prize. He 
scored 5 straights in eight events. 
W. S. Behm of Esterly, Eyre of Phila., and F. S. 
Bender of Lonsdale, scored each 114 for third honors. 
Each of these boosters scored 5 straights. 
George was high local gun, capturing the Mororw 
Cup as first prize; W. G. Hepner was second, landed 
the McCartney Cup. “Webb” was going' some today. 
George Cooper had them guessing and walked off with 
the Smajda Cup with 102 breaks. 
Noisy John Englert was one of the boys today, scor¬ 
ing 112 and leading C. H. Newcomb of Philadelphia, by 
one target. No cotton tails for John today. 
J. G. Martin seemed to be out of form today. Those 
fair sex spectators must have made him nervous. 
O. S. Sked of Wilkesbarre, Pa., tied Mrs. Topperwein 
for high professional honors, each scoring 117 out of 
120 targets; Neaf Apgar, H. S. Welles and J. M. Haw¬ 
kins each broke 115 for second honors; Ward Ham¬ 
mond led L. R. Lewis by 2 targets for third honors 
on 109 breaks. 
Mrs. Roy Hart; Mrs. W. A. Joslyn; Mrs. E. L. Riley; 
Miss B. Carson and Miss Harriett Hammond, members 
of the Nemours Gun Club, Wilmington, Del., paid 
their respect to the Bryden Gun Club, shot in two 
events. Miiss Hammond scored 24 out of her 30 birds 
and received a gold bracelet for her honor. Mrs. Topper¬ 
wein made the presentation speech. Miss Carson kept 
right on Miss Hammond’s heels, scoring 21 breaks to 
her credit. Mrs. Joslyn scored third honors. Among 
the Reading boosters were Mrs. Behm and Mrs. Lud¬ 
wig who watched the game with interest. 
Prutzman of Reading lost seven targets in the _ first 
event but made a very creditable score the remainder 
of the program. 
L. A. Miller of Calcium made an exceptional score 
today of no breaks, was but one target shy for tying 
C. H. Newcomb. 
E. Byram had 3 straights. 
Freeman was going some on no “Eh.” 
D. S. Wood led W. G. Wood by 6 targets. 
J. K. Andrews tried hard to make a straight. 
President Brown had too strenuous work, yet scored 
83 - 
Captain Haines landed on 89 today. 
F. M. Ziegler scored five 14 tens, a little shady, but 
kept close to the ladies. 
Geo. Kline of the North End Club scored 105, very 
creditable. 
O. S. Sked brought his chums, German, Lewis, 
Rhoades and Wadsley, all from Wilkesbarre, Pa. 
Ilaveland, a new boy at the traps, scored well. 
Bitterling scored 95. “Bad luck, John.” 
Arthur Walker was going some on 106. 
Greenwood of Philadelphia, scored six 14 tens. 
H. P. Stapleton made a remarkable score of 103 
breaks today. “Time to get married, Harry.” 
Hugh Pon-ter of Hokendauqua, Pa., let loose today 
on 104 breaks. 
By Gosh! Heavyweight Sobers landed a straight. 
J. Heil of Easton was on the job with 109. 
Crother, Fell and Clark were in the race on 107 each. 
No flies on us. They led Metz, Bevan and Pratt by 
only 5 targets. “Frank, ain’t it a shame.” 
Vincent Oliver had the boys guessing when he shoved 
in 5 straights, tying noisy Englert of the home team. 
Rose scored 103, must have an eye on the ladies. 
The Lonsdale bunch: Swartz, Rauch, Rodgers, Telver, 
Bender. Schultz and Cross arrived on the autos. A happy 
bunch they are too. Everybody welcomed them. 
Mr. Lord was in charge of the lady squad and 
brought them from Wilmington. 
Dinner was served in the club house, gratis to all. 
It consisted of anything and everything imaginable in 
season. Cold roast beef, cold ham, potato salad, cold 
slaw, onions, radishes, swiss cheese, muffins, bread, 
butter, coffee, milk, banana cakes, gherkins, etc. 
Chief Caterer Harry Styers and treasurer of the club 
set this table fit for a king. It was a token of long 
remembrance of all participants. 
President Brown served as -toastmaster. 
At the head of the table sat L. R. Lewis who was in 
charge of the tournament by the courtesy of the Du 
Pont Powder Co. 
Each of the 80 contestants seemed to enjoy themselves, 
and all felt sorry for the heavy pouring rain, as very 
creditable scores would have been made. The clear 
background . affords this opportunity. 
Ward Hammond remarked that A. K. Ludwig, the 
Reading promoter, was the hardest working man in the 
bunch. 
A large tent was erected aside of the club house for 
the accommodation of the shooters and the band—but 
as it rained so hard the music was abandoned to submit 
shelter for the shooters. 
Let us hope for sunshine next year, when we will all 
be back.

The Rod and Gun Club gave its fourth July shoot 
and outing at Reisterstown, Md., this being its sec¬ 
ond shoot here. The most interesting feature of the 
day was team shooting by 'two squads of ladies, mem¬ 
bers of the club, this being their first appearance. They 
did exceedingly well, and we expect great results from 
our ladies shooters under the captaincy of Mrs. J. A. 
Talbott. The club will hold its weekly shoots Saturday

Just far enough, away from the heat and hum 
of the metropolis to give an entire change of
