Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, Ill., Feb. 18. — A field of forty-six shooters 
is good evidence that we had a pleasant day for shoot¬ 
ing, and it certainly was, as the weather was like a fine 
spring day, and cjuite a treat from the weather we have 
had since the first of the year. As we can expect the 
weather to rapidly get better, we are also looking for 
our attendance to increase until we average at least 
fifty shooters. 
Kanimerer, Jeff and Schultz had the best of a special 
match, with May, Goode and MacLachlan, the race 
being at 50 targets per man for the dinners. In the 
jiractice event at 25 targets. Bills broke 25 straight, Amos 
Moore scored 24, A. F. Wilcox and Ed. Graham each 
scored 23. 
In the club event at 50 targets. Classes A and B, shoot¬ 
ing 50 targets, Bills again topped the list with 49 out of 
50. Fetherston was high amateur with 45, MacLachlan 
being next in line with 43, while Goode, Jeff and Moore 
each broke 42. 
Classes C and D shot at 40-yd. targets. Seelig, Sr 
broke 49, Seelig, Jr., and Earl being next on the list with 
43, while Dickerman broke 42. 
Jeff and MacLachlan each recorded a score of 21 out 
of 12 pairs, the latter also getting two 20s and a 19. 
Teff also had four 19s and 18 out of 12 pairs in two of 
these events he “put it over” on Davis, who suggested 
a race for the dinners. 
Shrigley got into the fray to-day, but does not feel 
quite strong enough to shoot over 50. 
Schultz has just returned from a business trip to 
Denver. 
Events Nos. 4, 5, G, 7, and 10 were at 12 pairs each.

Jarsey City Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Feb. 24.—Ten shooters were out at 
the .Saturday shoot of the Jersey City Gun Club on 
Saturday, Feb. 24. It was one of the finest days for 
trapshooting that one could wish for, as there was no 
wind at all. Dave Engle was high for the day with 89 
per cent, and Dixon was second with 84 per cent. The 
scores follow:

Inter-Club 
Boosted 
.22 Cal. Rifles and Cartridges 
W ONDERFUL to tell, the phenomenal Inter-Club Record 
of 995 out of a possible 1,000 points made by the Win¬ 
chester Rod and Gun Club, of New Haven, Conn., has 
been beaten, but it took the same club to do it and the same shoot¬ 
ing equipment. The new record was made in the match between 
the above club and the Bridgeport Club on February 13th. The 
table shows how and by what members it was accomplished: 
G. W. Chesley, - - - 
Capt. W. H. Richard, - 
H. S. Williams, - - - 
M. O. Buttsteadt, 
Capt. A. F. Laudensack, 
Composite of the 100 Shots 
Composite of Chesley’s Targets 
This makes three times in succession members of the Winchester 
Rod and Gun Club have broken the Inter-Club Record, and in 
each instance every shooter used exclusively Winchester Rifles and 
Cartridges. If anything were needed to further convince informed 
shooters that Winchester Rifles and Cartridges have exceptionally 
good shooting qualities, these performances would change their 
conviction into a dead certainty. 
I You Won’t Go Wrong If You Shoot The Rod W Combination 
Cleveland Gun Club. 
Cleveland, O., Feb. 18.—The regular weekly shoot of 
the Cleveland Gun Club, held Saturday afternoon at the 
club’s shooting park, was an up-to-date shooting match 
with a good bunch of target breakers, and if we had 
had with us the regulars, it would have been a recprd- 
breaking crowd for a winter day; but they are coming, 
one by one, and will be all on deck by the time the 
bluebirds come. 
The shoot of Saturday was a merry one for high gun 
between Mr. C. E. Doolittle and W. H. Archer, the 
former winning by one target, with scores of 95 and 94 
out of 100. Archer put up a great score, 49 out of his 
first 50, to Doolittle’s 47, but on the home stretch 
Charley came on like a race horse with 48 out of 50. 
The harder some men are pushed the better they shoot. 
The president, E. S. Rogers, who has been away 
from the city most of this year, has been missed very 
much; he is always doing something to keep the ball 
rolling; but his troubles will soon be over, and then he 
will be at his old stand, which all hands will be glad 
to see. Blakeslee, Ambler and Bunn, who are winter 
shooters, have not been out for so long a time, a pic¬ 
ture of any of them would be acceptable, so that we 
would have something to remind us of what they look 
like, but we would sooner have the real thing, so brace 
up and renew your acquaintance and refresh your mind 
and body, which every man needs. Following are the 
scores:

49, Doolittle 47 L. M. \Veeden 46, \Veeden 45, Dr.
