Terre Haute Gun Club. 
This club was recently organized with a membership 
of nearly 200, and Judge John E. Cox as president. A 
largely attended meeting was held on Feb. 6, at which 
much enthusiasm was manifested. The ground com¬ 
mittee has leased Chelsea Park, containing about forty- 
five acres, and at this meeting the committee was en¬ 
larged, and will have a meeting with the owner of the 
park to ascertain if it will be possible to buy the prop¬ 
erty instead of leasing it, so that the club may own its 
home. The constitution and by-laws of the club were 
adopted with a few minor changes. The most important 
change was the addition of an article which enables 
township trustees, road superintendents and supervisors 
of the outlying districts to become honorary members 
of the club without initiation fee. Under the laws of 
the State, these officials have the same authority as a 
game warden, and it was for this reason that the club 
wishes to secure them as members. The committee on 
trapshooting, consisting of C. F. Loudon, W. L. Horn- 
buckle and Samuel Bridwell, made its report and sub¬ 
mitted figures. The report was accepted and the ap¬ 
paratus will be installed at once. The office of financial 
secretary was created by the adoption of the constitution 
and by-laws, and Albert Einecke was elected to fill the 
position. Fifteen new members were taken in at this 
meeting. The club will make a lake of several aeres on 
their new grounds for the benefit of the angling con¬ 
tingent among its members, arrd this will be stocked 
with fish by the State Game Commissioner. Among the 
members are many owners of pointers and setters and 
an amateur field trials will be run some time next fall 
for their benefit. A trapshooting tournament is on the 
cards for this spring, and prizes of cups and cash will 
be given liberal enough to attract a good crowd. 
Mulberry Grove Gun Club. 
Mulberry Grove, Ill., Feb. 22.—Who would have 
thought anybody wanted to shoot badly enough to wade 
snowdrifts that were from two to four feet deep. Just 
the same we have a few “dyed-in-the-wool” shooters, 
and seven of them waded drifts and enjoyed it, because 
they had a try at their favorite pastime. To-day should 
have been the time when the whole club was to have 
begun a series of weekly shoots for the handsome 1912 
Du Pont trophy, but too much snow caused a post¬ 
ponement for a majority of the club members. The 
most spectacular race that we have witnessed at our 
grounds was between Hartley and Martin, the latPer 
finally taking the former’s measure by one pigeon. 
Martin also set a club record by breaking 30 straight, 
then was compelled to stop for the want of shells. 
Providing the weather man consents, the whole club 
will be on hand at our next regular weekly shoot, 
which will be held next Wednesday. Scores of to-day’s 
happenings as follows: 
Shot at. Broke 
F E Martin. 36 33 
E Hartley . 2-5 21 
F Ellis . 25 15 
*Just to shoot a few loose shells, 
ma’de with a 16-gauge gun. 
Shot at. Broke 
O T Davis. 50 20 
*F Monroe . 7 4 
*VV E Ellis. 7 3 
Martin’s score was
