Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O.—The mid-winter tournament of Feb. 
12, Lincoln’s Birthday, was finished in the face of a 
drizzling rain, wind and conditions more or less dis¬ 
agreeable, but each of the forty-three shot until the 
finish. A very enjoyable time was had by the visitors 
as well as the many Columbus gentlemen who “mid¬ 
winter shoot.” The weather conditions were most 
favorable until 1:30 P. W., when the drifting clouds got 
together and from “just a little sunshine,” there was 
“just a little rain.” After the last squad had finished 
and the round up of the competition was determined, 
it was found that one of the popular gentlemen of the 
Columbus Gun Club had carried away the honor of 
first high amateur average against a strong field, with 
the score of 137 out of the 150. The second high aver¬ 
age honor was captured by Mr. Frank D. Alkire, of 
the Williamsport, Ohio, Blue Rock Farm, score, 133. 
The third high amateur average was won by Mr. Wm. 
Webster, of Columbus, Ohio, with the score of 132. 
Fourth was a tie between W. R. Chamberlain, of 
Columbus, Ohio, and Mr. Ed. Eby, of Circleville, 
Ohio. The high professional average for the tourna¬ 
ment was won by our popular professional shot, John 
R. Taylor, with the score of 139, and the second high 
professional was landed by the well-known professional, 
Mr. Charles Young, of Springfield, Ohio. 
Among the .surrounding cities represented at this 
splendid gathering of sportsmen were Springfield, Circle¬ 
ville, London, Dublin, Newark, Gambier, Edison, Ashley, 
Hilliard, Asheville, Hebron, Thornville, and many other 
points. The entrance for the day was $5, and there 
were forty-three high gun moneys. From $10 all the 
way down to $2.25, and nobody got less than $2.25. One 
hundred and fifty targets, entrance including the tar¬ 
gets in the $5. 
The Ohio State Trapshooters’ League Tournament 
will be held at Columbus, Ohio, on June 2, 3 and 4, 
under the auspices of the Columbus Gun Club and 
arrangements are now being formulated to make this 
the greatest, biggest and best Ohio State shoot ever 
held since its inception, nearly twenty-four years ago. 
In the undertaking to make the 1909 shoot a great suc¬ 
cess we ask all Ohio shooters to arrange to attend this 
shoot to talk it and work for it, as Ohio should have 
the largest State shoot in this country because we 
have the shooters. When the programme, which will 
be mailed thirty days before the tournament, will have 
been received by sportsmen of Ohio, it is believed that 
it will be of such liberal arrangement regarding the re¬ 
imbursement of all shooters not shooting up to their 
expectations, that shooters of all grades will feel that 
they will have equal chances with the best and enjoy 
a pleasant outing and a fine shoot among the best 
sportsmen of Ohio at very little expense. Send your 
name and address so all literature pertaining to the 
Ohio shoot will reach you, to^ Fred Shattuck, Secretary, 
48 Board of Trade Bldg., Columbus, Ohio. 
At the grounds of the Ideal Gun Club, Circleville, 
Ohio, March 4, a team shoot of ten men each will be 
shot between the Columbus Gun Club team and the 
Circleville team for a banquet at Circleville on the 
evening following the contest.
