got to put on his buckskin suit, when we go to Circle- 
viile. 
Frank D. Alkire sent in one of his old-time scores 
to the bookkeeper, and had a number of the nimrods 
guessing where he would land if he kept up the gait 
he started with. 
.\lr. Billy W ebster was hard after the front portion 
of the procession, and in a couple of events toward the 
close lost a good lead. 
Jlr. R. Chesterfield Chamberlain was in third place at 
the finish, and was very well pleased with the position, 
as when he does win anything valuable, they take it 
away from him. 
Mr. A. Ledgett, of New London, Ohio, who is the 
prime mover of target shooting interests in his city, 
was in attendance and shot a tine clip. 
Bartholamew and Hale, partners in the shooting game 
from Ashley, favored us with their presence, and are 
getting things lined up for a shoot at Ashley, Ohio, 
soon, where they have a very fine shooting ground. 
ilr. Joe T. \\ ells and W illiam Fishinger, of Hilliards, 
were hard after them. A shoot at Columbus without 
joe and Bill is very incomplete. 
Mr. Kaufmann, Shell Davis, Pat Davis and Mr. 
W ing, of Dublin, were the representatives from that 
city, and the Dublin Gun Club, where the shooters of 
this locality were finely entertained at their club’s 
tournament last year. 
A number of very popular sportsmen of the Ideal 
Gun Club, of Circleville, Ohio, were present. 
Armstrong, Hartranft and Hildinger, of London, tvere 
present, and they had a good time. The London Gun 
Club will have a shoot this spring, at which a great 
time is anticipated. , 
W agner and Edmonds shot a race and finished just 
one apart. 
Mr. J. Y. Bassell, President of the Columbus Gun 
Club, shot through the programme and thoroughly en¬ 
joyed it, with the exception of the wind and rain that 
interfered with his vision. 
Lem Baumgartner, of Hebron, for a gentleman of his 
age is a very steady shot, and has showed the boys a 
good clip at a great many shoots around the Buckeye 
Lake country. 
Mr. Lon Fisher, of Buckeye Lake, finished with 128 
and was among the possible candidates for the top 
averages. 
Ben Bolin got “snappy” and cut holes around twenty 
of them that he should have had to get the high gun. 
iSlr. Yost, Mathias, W agner, Jackson, of Homer, Qhio, 
have organized a club at Homer, and will shoot jegu- 
larly from now on. A tournament this summer will be 
given which will include a fine little drive from Utica. 
The announcement has been made that Mr. John R. 
Taylor, of Columbus, Ohio, the very efficient and popular 
professional of the Winchester Repeating Arms Com¬ 
pany, will be assigned to a new territory, which, it is 
learned, will be a section of the sunny South, with 
Atlanta, Georgia, as headquarters. He has made his 
home in Ohio since his boyhood, having been born 
and raised in Licking county, near Thornville, on the 
shore of what is now known as Buckeye Lake. To say 
that “John” is well known and very highly esteemed 
in this community and all over, does not begin to 
express the good feeling with which he has surrounded 
himself, front the trappers and pullers all along the line. 
A complimentary dinner will be given to him, and all 
shooters in attendance at the Columbus Gun Club 
grounds on Feb. 25. It is a pleasure for us to invite 
“johnny Taylor” and his friends to meet here that we 
have an opportunity to extend our best wishes for his 
success in the new field. He leaves Columbus on 
March 1. 
Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Feb. 14. — Twenty--two shooters 
took part in the regular bi-monthly shoot of the Hudson 
Gun Club to-day, and several interesting matches among 
its members took place. _ , , • j 
The morning was cloudy, and with a cold wind blow¬ 
ing in the faces of the shooters, made conditions very 
unfavorable for the sport, as a glance at the score sheet 
will show. 
Schorty was high gun for the day. H. L. Brown was 
runner up with 97, while close on their trail was Y il- 
liams with 94, and Woodruff with 90, who shot very con¬ 
sistently throughout; the latter’s 23 being high individual 
score for the day. . . 
Messrs. Coder and Smith, two new recruits m the 
game, tried their hands at smashing them to-day for 
the first time, and while the scores that they made were 
not record-breakers, they are very good, considering that 
the conditions and guns that were used were strange to 
them. With a little practice, they will be shooting m 
Class A in a short time. . . 
Our next shoot will be held on Feb. 28, and visitors 
and beginners are cordially invited to come and shoot 
along with us. Scores:
