for a novice, especially under the prevailing 
weather conditions. There was quite a large gal¬ 
lery of spectators to witness the sport. J. Scherz 
handled the financial end of the shoot, assisted 
by Geo. Overbeck, their duties in the office pre¬ 
venting them from doing as well as usual when 
they were called to the score. Refreshments 
were served during the afternoon, the Storey 
members acting the part of hosts to perfection, 
and every one participating had a most enjoyable 
time, in spite of the moist weather. Arthur Gam- 
bell, superintendent of the Cincinnati Club, 
missed a good thing in his second event by one 
target, but Davies was made happy by the form¬ 
er’s hard luck. Leonard was using a strange gun, 
and this cost him several targets. Johnson has 
not shot before for some time, but has not quite 
forgotten how to point his old shooting iron.

STARVED ROCK GUN CLUB. 
Clarence Stafford, New Secretary, Making Good. 
Utica, Ill., Nov. 29, 1914. 
The expected 100 bird match at the Starved 
Rock Gun Club did not materialize owing to the 
absence of one of the principals, Dr. C. B. Sharp, 
who was unavoidably absent. Another element 
to enter in postponing the match was the weather 
conditions. There was a drizzling rain and a 
strong wind blowing into the shooters’ faces, and 
none of them were any too anxious to shoot such 
a match in such weather. 
Westermann, who is putting Marseilles on the 
shooting map, was there with his new gun and 
shooting clothes, and has another scalp attached 
to his belt—the Hercules trophy. This contest 
was a spirited affair in which Stafford, the newly 
appointed secretary, tied “Westy” for first place, 
Westermann making 23 out of 25 and Stafford 
22 in the shoot-off. “Westy - ’ and “Staff” were 
shooting like a house afire, the former dropping 
5 out of 150 and the latter 8 out of 100. 
Besides the Hercules trophy shoot there were 
several team events. It was decided that the 
Erlenborn trophy shoot which is due for next 
Sunday be postponed for one week, owing to the 
Elk’s memorial, to which order a good many of 
the shooters belong. 
The new secretary, Clarence Stafford, who has 
been appointed to complete the unexpired term 
of the former secretary, A. L. Jaques, who left 
for the Sunny South last week, is getting into 
the routine in fine shape, and will add strength 
to the board of directors. 
The scores for the different events follow:
