CoLUMDUS, O., Jan. 23. — The Saturday afternoon handi¬ 
cap of 50 targets was a very interesting event and was 
participated in by sixteen contestants, and was won by 
two 16yd. men, who shot wonderfully well, Mr. Frank 
Ford, of Columbus, breaking 47 out of his 50, and Mr. 
Kauffman, of Dublin, O., 46. Mr. Ford got the first 
prize, and Mr. Kauffman the second. The conditions 
for shooting were quite favorable, as the contestants and 
the spectators, of which there were many, took chairs 
out on the big porch and on the shooting stand, and 
were not inconvenienced in any way by the cold, as it 
was a balmy day for January. The handicap was from 
16 to 21yds. Another handieap will be shot on Saturday, 
Jan. 30, with the same system of handicapping, and both 
traps will be used. The visitors from out of the city 
were Mr. Kelly and Mr. Hartraufdt, of London, O.; Mr, 
Shell, of Thor:iville, O.; Mr. Kauffman and Mr. Wing, 
of Dublin, O.; and Mr. Joe Wells, of Hilliard, O. 
On Wednesday, Feb. IC. a one-day tournament will be 
given with a programme of 150 birds; entrance to which 
will be $5 for the day; and $75 will be divided, twenty 
moneys, high gun system. First high, $10; second high, 
$7.50; third high, $5; fifth and sixth, high, $4; seventh 
high, $3.50; eighth to sixteenth, inclusive, $3 each; and 
seventeenth to twentieth, $2 each. The object of this 
shoot is to permit a large number of amateur shots in 
Columbus and vicinity to participate in a regular tourna¬ 
ment, at a very little cost and have a chance to finish 
with little loss and at the same time give them a fine 
day’s outing and enjoyment of the contest and meeting 
the different shooters from about the State. The numb|jr 
already who have entered into the spirit of the arrange¬ 
ment shows that a big attendance will be on hand for 
this tournament. A nice dinner will be served in the 
club dining room at noon, and a cordial invitation is 
extended to all. 
Mr. Harris, for a new beginner, is doing some shoot¬ 
ing from 16yds. Saturday he broke a 23 and a 20 out of two 
25s in the handicap race. Harry Smith broke a 24 in the 
sweep race that was high. Harry is shooting a fine clip 
and has been challenged to shoot a 50-bird race for the 
Wolf trophv, by Fred Shattuck. 
Joe W'ells was over from Hilliard and broke a 15 
strai.cht on the start. J-Ie was picked for a winner in 
the handicap. 
Frank Ford surorised everybody by his fine work Sat¬ 
urday, 47 out of 50 is a score to be proud of, and Frank 
has got an eye for shooting and that is no mistake. 
Mr. Kingsberry, who has been out of the city for the 
past year, returned and will now take up the gun and 
trapshooting for recreation. 
Lon Fisher, from I^ake Buckeye, was over, and shot a 
few \\’ednesday afternoon. 
Fred Le Noir, who has just returned from the West, 
came out W'ednesday afternoon and did some fine work 
with his new gun. 
Ben Bolin is having a great time finding a gun to fit. 
The double barrel seems to be the lucky gun for Benja¬ 
min. 
Mr. Kaufman, of Dublin, shooting from 16yds.. in the 
handicap, made 46, and won second high. Mr. Kaufman 
is practically a new shooter, and his good work was 
admired by all the boys. 
Jack Smith distinguished himself as a referee, and was 
very busy picking the winner in the handicap. 
Mr. G. M. Smith came in with a 22 on the first 25. 
Cumberland shot well, except in the handicap, and on 
that he has not had much practice. 
Mr. Archie Magrew was out with the boys Wednesday 
and joined in the fun.

Indianapolis Gun Club. 
Indianapolis, Ind.—Dixon plucked the plums off the 
tree of ambition at the Indianapolis Gun Club last Sat¬ 
urday afternoon, Jan. 23, when he won his second event 
in the members’ trophy contest—an indeterminate series 
of weekly shoots, open to all amateur members of the 
club, the ultimate winner of which will receive a beauti¬ 
ful sterling silver water pitcher. Dixon won the initial 
event of the series several weeks ago, shooting from 
16yds., and since then has been competing from 18yds., 
from which handicap distance he won,his second event. 
Next Saturday he will begin his career at the extreme 
handicap distance of 20yds., and continue to compete 
from that mark until he or some one of his competitors 
wins an event while shooting from 20yds. The first 
win at 20yds. brings the contest to a close. Dixon was 
the first one to win from 16yds., and also the first one to 
win from 18yds. Will he, or will he not be the first one 
to' win from 20yds.,' is the question of the hour among 
the locgl shooters. The scores were: Dixon (18) 46, 
Le Noir (professional) 46, Parry (18) 43, Voris (18) 43, 
Denny (18) 42, Hymer 41, Anderson 41, Moller 39, Brit¬
