FOREST AND STREAM 
383 
Northern Kentucky Gun Cluh. 
March 17 was the first real sample of spring weather 
we have had in this section, and there was a good crowd 
at the grounds, about thirty spectators watching the 
eleven shooters who took part in the various events. A 
quite brisk wind early in the afternoon made the targets 
rather difficult, and affected some of the scores. As this 
u’as the day of Ireland’s patron saint, the shooters were 
required to enter with a proper affix to their names, 
and this accounts for the number of Macs and Os on 
the score sheet. The disguise, however, is not very 
puzzling, and it is an easy matter to recognize old 
acquaintances. Capt. O’Dameron was shooting in ex¬ 
cellent form, and easily led the bunch with 95 out of 
100; in the last 75 he missed but three targets, recording 
three 24s. McHammerschmidt did not show up so well 
as usual, his score in the 100 being only 86, at least 10 
targets below his proper mark. Frohliger took advant¬ 
age of the nice weather for a little outing, and got into 
one event, shooting a 92 per cent, clip, and that in spite 
of the fact that he has had no practice for several weeks. 
O’Clement did his best work in the middle of the 100, 
breaking 43 out of 50. The match between him and 
Luverne was a close one, the latter winning by one 
target. In the first round Luverne dropped but one 
target, a score such as he used to make when he was in 
constant practice. McWalker does not lay claim to 
being very much of a target shot, but he did rather nice 
work to-day, breaking 86 per cent. Mclrwin made a fine 
start, tying with the leaders, but he seemed unable to 
keep up the pace. He shot a match with Hammer- 
schmidt late in the afternoon, losing by 5 targets. An 
interestin.g feature of the afternoon was a team match 
between Hammerschmidt and Irwin, and Dameron and 
Luverne. The latter team won by 6 targets. 
The feature of the shoot on March 24 will be a match 
between Hammerschmidt and Dameron, at 100 targets 
each. On the same day J. B. C and Luverne (Gould) 
will shoot another match at 50 targets each. Irwin and 
Gould are matched to shoot a race on March 31 at 100 
target.s each. On the first club day in May, Gould and 
McArdle will get together in a match at 100 targets, the 
former to allow the latter 10 targets. It looks as though 
there would be something doing on these grounds this 
spring, and the example of this club ought to have a 
good effect on the others in this vicinity. There will be 
a shoot at white fliers on the afternoon of March 23.

HITTING vs. MISSING 
By S. T. Hammenil('‘Shadow”). 
Cloth. Price, $1.00. 
Mr. Hammond enjoys among his field companions the 
repute of being an unusually good shot, and one who is 
particularly successful in that most difficult branch of 
upland shooting, the pursuit of the ruffed grouse, or 
partridge. This prompted the suggestion that he should 
write down for others an exposition of the methods by 
which his skill was acquired. The result is this orig¬ 
inal manual of “Hitting vs. Missing.” We term it 
original, because, as the chapters will show, the author 
was self-taught; the expedients and devices adopted and 
the forms of practice followed were Viis own. This then 
may be termed the Hammond system of shooting; and 
as it was successful in his own experience, being here 
set forth simply and intelligently, it will prove not less 
effective with others.

The aging of a cocktail is as 
necessary to perfect flavor 
as the aging of wine or whisky. 
The delicious flavor and aroma of 
Club Cocktails 
is due not alone to the precise 
blending of the choicest liquors 
obtainable, but to the fact that 
they are softened to mellowness 
by aging before bottling.
