Indianapolis, Ind.—Last Saturday afternoon at the 
Indianapolis Gun Club was Parry’s day, not in the sense 
that “every dog has his day,” but rather because he 
worked hard to win the day’s event of the members’ 
trophy contest, and so justly merited the laurels which 
came to him from his overwhelming victory. 
It as a cold, dark, drizzly, foggy day, and no one 
would have thought it possible to shoot a 92 per cent, 
clip in serious competition under these adverse climatic 
conditions—but this is just what Parry did, and it was 
not accidental with him either. As a result of his good 
work he will get to try his hand at the 18yd. mark next 
Saturday. The scores were: Parry 46, \’an Nest (pro¬ 
fessional) 43, Anderson 43, Hymer 43, Moller 41, Voris 
(18) 41, Wilson 40, Denny (18) 39, Britton 37, Lewis 37, 
Neighbors 36, and Dixon (18) 34.

Anderson was with us for the first time, and he shot a 
steady streak all through, and with a few months’ prac¬ 
tice he is going to make the best look to their laurels. 
Doc. Wescoat came out to-day and joined the club; 
he brought along his little 16-gauge. He is going in now 
for a trap gun, and with a little practice he ought to 
go some, for he is a crack field shot. 
Young is getting back into shape, and is going to 
take his place from now on in the front ranks. 
Cook came out with a wide open gun, and his first 
attempt for several years; when he gets the proper equip¬ 
ment he will go up where he belongs. 
Smith, who has been going so steadily, had a fall. 
No doubt but that he will be back in condition next 
week. 
Pennell has not got over the New Year’s shoot, and 
could not get out. Orlemann and Hammell were back 
on the firing line after a long absence. 
Our grounds are open every Friday afternoon, and 
would be always glad to have any visiting sportsmen 
come out and shoot with us.

Ossining, N. Y., Jan. 8 .—You will note in your issue 
of this week that m cutting out local matter pertaining 
to the New Year’s shoot of Ossining Gun Club you 
make it appear that certain non-members who shot were 
not guests of Col. Brandreth. If you refer to copy sent 
you you will find that they were the only guests of 
Col. Brandreth, all the rest being club members. I hope 
that in justice to these gentlemen who are placed in a 
false light, that you will make correction in your next 
issue; and, thanking you in anticipation of such correc¬ 
tion, I rem.ain, Chas. G. Blandford,
