Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., April 24.—The Columbus Gun Club has 
just entered into a series of telegraph matches with 
Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis, Indianapolis and the 
Northern Kentucky Gun Club, of Dayton, Ky. The first 
match for Columbus was with the Northern Kentucky 
on Saturday, April 17. The Columbus team could not 
start before April 24 for Indianapolis. Columbus will 
probably shoot the back race with Dayton, Ky., on the 
first of May. The conditions at the shoot with Indian¬ 
apolis, to-day, were fair weather with some wind from 
the southeast, not enough to interfere with the targets, 
except an occasional dropper that would go under the 
pattern if you did not put both eyes on to it. The race 
] was very interesting, and was \yatched by a large number 
I of spectators, who greatly enjoyed it. The result was 
’ telegraphed to the Indianapolis Gun Club in care of 
I Mr. J. C. Dixon, and the telegram from the Indianapolis 
team was received here during the evening. Of course 
our boys were pleased with the result of the first race— 
: Columbus 451, Indianapolis 447, very close. The wonder- 
: fu! shooting of W. R. Chamberlain is deserving of much 
credit, as he had been shooting badly of late, and used a 
double barreled gun, a new one. this afternoon at the 
i contest. The shooting of Dr. Bolin and Mr. G. M. 
’ Smith was good for 16yds., as neither of them have shot 
! as well before this season. Mr. H. E. Smith, as well as 
Mr. Shattuck, had a couple of bad innings, but the 
average for the team was not bad. The aim is to shoot 
the best highest average men, but they are not always 
1 available, so we take the best we have in attendance. 
Scores follow:

The shooting of Mr. Frederick Le Noir on April 24 
' was very much on the sensational order, as 100 straight 
in the last four events was very cleverly rplled off 
: without a break or a slobber. This little trick has not 
been done on the Columbus Gun Club grounds very 
many times in the past four years. The targets were full 
50yds. 
j A popular shooting dav from nl^w on will be Wednes¬ 
day afternoon, which will be known as business men’s 
day, and will bave a very cleverly arranged little pro- 
' gramme of 10 and 15 target -events, with some nice 
I prizes for the best five-man team and the high average 
individual, also the high average handicap shooter. Dur¬ 
ing the warm weather, which is almost upon us, it will 
' be convenient and pleasant for the busy boys to run out 
' for a little breath of good air on Wednesday afternoons, 
1 and they can get out on the 4 o’clock car and then have 
! a good shoot before dark. The gentle zephyrs, de- 
! scribed by one of the speakers at the banquet of the 
j .spring tournament, although^ you mav be unable to be 
; believe it. have begun to arrive. So the old saying goes 
again: “Better late than never.” I guess that will help 
some of the fellows who shivered. 
The Ohio State shoot (registered) and given under 
the auspices of the Columbus Gun Club, by the Ohio 
Trapshooters’ League, at the Columbus Gun Club,_ prom- 
; ises to be the largest and best shoot this year, in this 
I section, and it is hoped that all the boys will begin to 
drop a few pennies in the bank to spend at it, as they 
will all be here and the Squier money-back system will 
be used, so that losses will not be large, but good 
fellowship will reign supreme. 
We will have something to talk about the rest of the 
year. 
The programme will be an attractive one, and an 
outline of it will be mailed out April 29, just to show you 
what is going to be. The big programme will go out on 
May 12 to 15. Ohio is expected to turn out en masse, 
as it is the event of the year, and whv shouldn’t they? 
Everything will be done to give tbe shooters attending 
a good time, and the weather is settled and pleasant for 
the sport at this time. The Columbus Gun Club ■will 
appreciate a little personal work bv all the shooters with 
a greater shoot in mind. Remember every boost helps.

Dickey won the day’s contest for the Burnes trophy, but 
Charlie Comer, the hard-working secretary, has attacheq 
the pretty vase by making the two best scores out of three 
for the month. 
The Palefaces are very much excited over the petition 
of a foreign corporation to build a huge packing and 
slaughtering plant alongside the shooting grounds at 
Wellington, Mass. It is said that the company has ob¬ 
tained an option on twenty-six acres of marsh land 
located near the Malden line, between the B. & M. 
tracks and the Mystic River. They propose to build a 
plant valued at $500,000, which would benefit the town 
of Medford inasmuch as it would reduce the present 
high tax rate. The Palefaces propose to be represented 
at the public hearing for the purpose of urging their 
rights in the matter. 
Washington, D. C., April 21.—Seventeen members of 
the Analostan Gun Club of this city reported for prac- 
Hce on Saturday, the 17th. Emory A. Storr, of the 
Peters Cartridge Co., was the guest of the club. Mr. 
Storr has many friends in our club, and as this is the 
first opportunity the boys have had to greet him for 
three years, and since his transfer to this territory, they 
gave him a hearty welcome. Mr. Storr said he never 
saw such hard targets thrown from a trap. In the first 
two events they were almost impossible. The trap was 
lowered and slowed up for the third event and then 
better scores prevailed. Those who came late profited 
m the percentage made. 
Uncle Joe Hunter was the star man in the medal 
contest, scoring his 20 straight. It made him feel so 
good he made a 10 straight right after it. The other 
scores in the medal sheet were as follows: Franham 
19, M. Taylor 19, C. B. Wise 17, Barr 16, Wilson 16, 
Buckwalter 14, Ficklin 10, Weeden and Green 9, Coby 
and Geyer 7. 
The Lawrence registered shoot proved a good one, with 
about fifty shooters present. Fifteen able-bodied experts 
attended from Boston, and the party was further aug¬ 
mented by half a dozen ladies. The much-talked of team 
event was won by the Eastern Game Protective Associa¬ 
tion with the score of 297. Homce Kirkwood was high 
gun on 138 out of 150; A. E. Sibley and H. Rule being 
second, 134. Other scores on the full programme were: 
C. F. Marden, C. E. Comer and H. E. Tuck, 129; J. H. 
Brinley and Roy Hodsdon, 127; Geo. Darton, 123; W. F. 
Clarke, 122; E. J. George, 119; R. N. Burnes, 118; C. A. 
Allen, 116; G. H. Hassam, 115; G. W. Hall, 113; G. E. 
Cole, 109; W. Finucane, W. N. Henry and W. Hatch, 
105; N. Tozier, 104; F. R. Richardson, 101. H. E. Tuck, 
of Haverhill, won the hammerless gun in the handicap 
match, and Finucane won the first prize in local event. 
T. Haze Keller, Jr., of the Hunter Arms Co., spent 
last week in Boston and vicinity. Haze is making many 
friends for his firm’s product all through his eastern 
coast territory. 
E. A. Jones spent the holiday at his Bourne shooting 
stand and returned with some fine geese. 
H. N. Richards, of the New England Kennel Club, has 
just received a fine pair of 20-gauge guns built to his 
order by the Hunter Arms Co. 
The daily papers suffered from too much Marathon 
the morning after, to judge by the mixed reports of the 
holiday shoots. The big Lawrence tournament evoked 
merely a glaring headline in the Globe, but not a word 
as to the scores and story. 
Charlie Comer’s impromptu bonfire at Lawrence was a 
warm proposition for Sibley, even though he is used to 
fireworks in the business grind. 
Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, April 25. —Appended are the scores of the 
regular bi-monthly shoot of the Hudson Gun Club, held 
to-day at the grounds on the bank of the Hackensack 
River. There were twenty-eight shooters in attendance, 
and the consistent shooting of Engle, returned him high 
average for the day with 82. Emmons was the runner-up 
with 79. 
The day was very pleasant for the sport, but a stiff 
wind that was blowing across the traps caused the targets 
to take all kinds of twists, turns and irregular flights, 
very often ducking out of the charge and scoring a lost 
target for the shooter.
