Aurora Artificial Live Bird Gun Club. 
Aurora, Ohio, June 3.—We mentioned in our previous 
report that our cluK which is known as the Aurora 
Artificial Live Bird Gun Club, would give a Decoration 
Day shoot on Monday, May 31. This was not a tour¬ 
nament, but just a club shoot at which all sportsmen 
were invited to attend and try their hands at this new 
and wonderful target. There were about 300 people on 
the club grounds, and thirty shooters participated, and 
the entire crowd went wild with delight. 
Artificial live-bird shooting is something new in this 
locality, and judging from the grand success achieved 
at this shoot, they, with actual bird-like appearance, 
their positive kill and their great speed must prove not 
only an attraction, but an actual blessing to the clubs 
installing them. 
We are making great calculations on a much larger 
attendance at our Fourth of July shoot, which will 
occur on Monday, the 5th, and we hope to secure a 
good report of the event. 
The Misses Russel and Kahl were greeted with great 
applause which they merited for their plucky behavor. 
We hope other ladies will be encouraged to do the same. 
Mr. Hurd was trying to become acquainted with a 
new gun. Mr. Noble was testing a new Ithaca. 
Mr. L. E. Whitney, of Chagrin Falls, a prominent trap- 
shooter of that city, was an interested visitor, and 
showed that he can shoot in the best company, as his 
score will attest, for 40 out of 50 at these birds is better 
than 90 per cent at clay targets. 
Our club 
extends a 
cordial invitation to all 
sportsmen 
to come here and try 
their 
hands at these 
birds. 
We 
shoot every 
Saturday afternoon.

Oneonfa Tournament. 
Oneonta, N. Y., June 8. —The registered tournament of 
the Oneonta Fish, Game and Gun Club was held on 
June 5. On account of rain, which began soon after 
opening and continued all day, a great many shooters 
who would have been present did not participate. There 
was every indication of having not less than sixty shoot¬ 
ers on the grounds. The club in the near future will 
begin team competition with the clubs from Norwich, 
Stamford and Cooperstown; also start a contest among 
its members for the 1909 Du Pont trophy. In the Hunter 
Arms Co. trophy, a vase, the contest closed last week, 
and James Dibble won it. The contest was very close 
and exciting, Dibble finally tying with Frank Spencer. 
In the tie, Spencer broke 21 out of 25 birds, and Dibble 
23. Dibble’s per cent, in the contest was 85. 
Number of targets in the tournament, 170. Below is a 
list of the participants, the number of targets each shot 
at, and the number broke.
