whole families, it being a great spot for the young fel¬ 
lows and girls to come and a have a good time. The 
bake itself was pronounced fine, starting off with 
clams, then fish, sweet potatoes, green corn and 
chicken with watermelon and cake and your supper 
thrown in of cake, tea and coffee all for a dollar bill. 
The largest company of shooters that ever took part 
in a shoot at Haviland Hollow was present and some 
excellent scores were made. W. A. Gregory of the 
Pahquioque Gun Club carried off the honors, breaking 
47—50 in the program and breaking his last string 
siftaight. 
In the special handicap event of twenty-five targets 
life broke them all again, missing only three targets 
during the day out of seventy-five. Geo. Chapin of 
the Winchester Arms Co. was a visitor and he had 
the time of his life; he never dreamed of such a large 
affair in an out of the way place, it being ten miles 
from Danbury. Chapin was one target behind Gregory 
with 46; J. Finch of Ridgefield was next with 45; 
R. Downs and Cyrus Cornen were tied on 44; with A. 
Betti of Mt. Kisco 43; Thomas Phillips 42; E. H. 
Bailey 41; W. G. Olmstead and D. Richmond 40. 
There were three ladies shooting: Miss Jessie Thorpe 
who lives in New Fairfield in the summer and Mrs. 
W. A. Gregory. Miss Thorpe did not shoot up to 
her average as she had quite a fall from her auto¬ 
mobile while going to the Seaside Gun Club at Bridge¬ 
port, last Saturday, which bothered her in shooting. 
There were twenty-five prizes offered in the main 
program of fifty targets the high guns having their 
choice. 
After the program was finished there was a special 
handicap of twenty-five targets with several prizes. The 
winners in this event were W. A. Gregory who went 
straight, W. Thorpe. D. F. Bedient snd Dr. Van 
Saun were also straight with their handicap; H. Hiser, 
Jessie Thorpe, C. Cornen and M. Scofield 24; each got 
a prize. 
For New Fairfield and vicinity shooters, S. W. Tasch, 
the Danbury sporting goods dealer offered a cup to 
be known as the “Tasch Trophy,” and Mr. Thorpe 
offered $5 in gold to the high gun in the special event 
for New Fairfield shooters. This was a close race and 
the interest was keen throughout but Daniel Richmond 
was the winner of both the cup and the gold. His 
score was 40—50 and 19—25, with Harry McGuire and 
George Connors close up with 38 each. F. Kroah 
scored 37; E. Foster, 36; A. Jenks, 36; Jerry McGuire, 
34; Jessie Thorpe, 33; B. Carey, 34; H. Hiser, 32; 
G. Benedict, 32; W. Thorpe, 30; C. Connors, 29; E. 
Carey, 28; C. Turner, 28; D. Wood, 30; Keith Joyce, 30. 
There was quite a little interest in the team race, as 
the Ridgefield boys came up to trim the Pahquioque’s, 
headed by Dr. E. B. Van Saun who said a few nights 
before when we met at a shore resort for a dinner we 
were going to get trimmed. Some of the boys say the 
Doctor said he would wager $25 on the contest, but he 
denies it and says we are trying to put one over on 
him. 
The Pahquioque team won by 24 targets, the score 
being 215 to 191. 
The New Fairfield Club entered a team and they made 
a good showing as this was 'the first shoot they have 
attended since they were organized last winter. 
E. H. Bailey, secretary of the Pahquioque Gun Club 
had charge of the shooting.

Mandan Gun Club. 
Mandan, N. D., Aug. to, 1914. 
\\ T e have just finished one of the most interesting 
shoots in the history of our club. 
The originator of this shoot was Mr. Heegard of 
Mandan. Some of the members added four more prizes 
from nine to four dollars each in value making it 
worth while for all those that love the sport to desert 
their beds Sunday mornings and be at the trap by nine 
A. M. 
The bird handicap was used and it was a lot of 
guessing during each week as to who would be at the 
top the next. 
Royer and Ellis were in the lead the third Sunday 
with three of us only one behind. 
Both of the above mentioned leaders attended a 
celebration the night before the final shoot and it told 
on them, as they dropped back and shot off a tie for 
fifth prize, Mr. Royer being victorious. I do not 
want^ it understood that the celebration was not 
O. K. and that the kind of a time they had, had any¬ 
thing to do with them falling back, it was the long 
ride and not the usual twelve hours sleep and the day 
prior a two hour afternoon spot on the lounge, that 
was to blame. 
\Y r e had a practice shoot first each day, and then 
came the allotted fifty targets on the contest, and by 
the time we all got through we were about two hours 
late for dinner. 
Twenty shooters shot through, seven dropped out 
on account of being unable to attend.

The annual registered tournament of the club opened 
August 13 under very favorable weather conditions, 
clear sky, and a light incoming breeze sufficient to 
help cool the air, without interfering with the flight 
of the targets to any extent. The attendance was 
good, though not quite up to the expectations of the 
officers. Forty-three shooters went through the pro¬ 
gram, and one of the old timers, K 86, got into the 
game for the last 50 targets. There was a good gal¬ 
lery watching the sport from the house veranda, and 
members of the fair sex were numerous and interested 
in the exhibitions of skill. Among the visiting shoot¬ 
ers were: H. W. Heikes, Y T . Smith, J. D. Platt, Jr., 
R. O. Heikes, and J. E. Cain, of Dayton; F. C. Koch, 
Salem, O.; C. O. Le Compte, Asheville, N. C.;
