Thursday, May 13, Second Day. 
There were thirty-six entrants on the second day. Of 
the professionals, Lester German broke 195 out of 200, 388 
out of 400 for the two days, a new ground record. He 
also broke 104 straight, also a new ground record. 
High amateur averages for the two davs were made 
by T. J. O’Donohue; F. A. Hodgman and E. M. Hurd 
tied for second; third, J. B. Sanders. 
The merchandise event was of chief interest. As a new 
system of division was used, all were anxious to see how 
it would turn out. The first three prizes were a Lefever 
double trap gun, Winchester repeating shotgun, and a 
gold watch. Those tying for first, second and third had 
to shoot off for their respective prizes, and failing to 
win on the shoot-off, got nothing. The rest, after the 
three classes, chose according to score. If things had 
not been arranged this way the poorer shots, or, at least 
those not shooting as well, would have received nothing. 
There was, of course, some kicking against this division, 
but in the main it was most satisfactorily received. The 
first three winners were: T. J. Lenane, O. IL Allen, 
E. M. Plurd. * 
The prizes were worth in the neighborhood of $200, 
and with the exception of two. were donated by the 
club and members of the club. About 20,000 shots were 
fired during the two days.

Sistersville Shoot. 
SiSTERSviLEE, W. Va.—What proved to be by far the 
most successful shooting tournament ever held on local 
grounds, came to a close Friday evening. The weather, 
although a shade windy on the first day, was almost per¬ 
fect, and every one present had an enjoyable time. The 
attendance was above expectations, and some remarkable 
scores were recorded. The trade was represented bv the 
following: Mr. Ed. H. Taylor, R. L. Trimble, H. D. 
Goshorn, and J. C. Williams, together with the following 
amateurs: Geo. E. Painter. Pittsburg; H. D. Heckman, 
Mannington, W. Va.; T. S. Bibbee, Elba, O.; J. M. 
Rathbone. Chas. P. Dudley, Dr. F. T. Hopkins and 
J. G. Cochrane, Parkersburg. W. Va.; T. M. Mclntire 
and S. R. Wells, New Martinsville, W. Va.; Hart 
Stanbery, Pomeroy, O.; Fred. O. Funk. Moundsville, 
VV. Va.; W. A. Wiedebusch, Geo. M. Lilley. John M. 
Phillips and T. A. Neal, Fairmont, W. Va.; A. G. Hig- 
genbothem, and L. E. Lantz, Jacksonburg, W. '’a.; 
B. D. Matthews and T. J. Anthony. Canonsburg, Pa.; 
I. M. Speary, Marietta, O., and T. H. Funk, Littleton, 
W. Va. 
Among the experts Mr. Ed. H. Taylor carried off 
the gold pen for high general average in his class by the 
Did you notice Bibbee smile when he saw the big can 
of water? He certainly does like his water. 
Mclntire was just recovering from quite a serious 
operation, but he managed to shoot through the entire 
programme, and we simply couldn’t have gotten along 
wit’nout him. 
Sam Wells’ head went back on him, and he was com¬ 
pelled to withdraw and go home. Trade it off, Sara, 
and get one with nothing in it to ache. 
J. G. Wolfe surprised the boys by breaking 93 out of 
his first 100. 
T. H. Funk was among the high ones on the second 
day, laying it over his big brother Fred O. Better look 
out, Fred. 
Rathbone showed much improvement on the second day. 
Higgenbothem wandered away up town during the 
afternoon, but came back smiling. The Squire never 
misses a shoot here. 
Winchester Trimble was hardly up to what we ex¬ 
pected of him, but 91 per cent, for the two days is not 
bad, especially on targets such as we had the first day. 
U. M. C. Goshorn broke 92 per cent, on the second 
day, but says he is going to break ’em all at the State 
shoot in June. Here’s hoping that you make good, old 
man. 
Speary slipped away from business and was with us 
for part of a day, but had to hurry back home. Glad 
to have him even for the little while. 
Secretary. 
Analostan Gun Club. 
Washington, D. C., May 16. —Following will be found 
a report of the last two meetings of the Analostan Gun 
Club and their work at the traps. We have had excellent 
weather for two Saturdays now—May 8 and 15 —and the 
work of the shooters has shown improvement. Joe H. 
Hunter has been shooting in fine form this spring, and 
yesterday fairly excelled himself, missing only 3 targets 
out of 70. Uncle Billy Wagner was with us, and although 
suffering some with the “rumatiz” in his shoulder, he 
ground out 87 out of 100. C. B. Wise jumped up several 
notches and quit with 86 out of 100. Dr. Monroe was 
trying out his new Fox gun, and Capt. Poole, Dr. Taylor 
and the secretary were breaking in new Smiths. 
very excellent score 
of 94.5 
per 
cent, for 
the two 
days.

Cochrane enjoyed 
the shoot, but felt a 
little sore that 
Miles Taylor, Sec’y 
Dudley beat him out. 
Dr. Hopkins had to miss one target in each regular 
event, but his 25 straight in the team race showed what 
he could do when he tried. 
Hart Stanberry, the Duke of Pomeroy, had the only 
white pine gun stock in the bunch, but it was very much 
in evidence—25 straight in the last event was going some. 
Wiedebusch was away off on the first day, and dropped 
4 out of his 200, scoring 98 per cent. Wiede, your gun 
don’t fit you. Better have it looked after. 
Anthony and Matthews was a good pair from Canons¬ 
burg, Pa., but could only remain one day on account of 
business. Cut out the business, boys, next time. 
Geo. E. Painter came down from Pittsburg, but was 
hardly shooting up to his usual high average, although he 
landed second amateur average for the two days, 92 per 
cent. 
Jared C. Williams could only remain for one day, but 
was kept busy showing his single-barrel trap, and three- 
barrel field guns.
