Roanoke Gun Club. 
Roanoke, Va., April 14.^—The regular weekly shoot 
of the Roanoke Gun Club was held Saturday afternoon 
on the club grounds, v/ith a large and enthusiastic at¬ 
tendance. A high wind, with occasional showers of 
rain, made shooting somewhat difficult, the shooters’ 
scores suffering accordingly. It was the pleasure of the 
club to have with us E. H. Storr, who we trust will take 
occasion to visit us often during the season. The club 
is always glad to welcome the representatives of the 
different powder and shell companies, and we hope a 
number of them will visit us during the year. 
The weekly prizes were won by the following: 
Scratch Class—First, P. T. Jamison; second a tie be¬ 
tween A. M. Shepherd and S. S. Scholl. 
Class A—First, H. C Elliott; second, J. B. Cumbie. 
Class B—First, C. E. Armstrong; second, B. J. Fish- 
burne. 
Class C—First, C. C. Blankenship. 
The following scores were made, all shooting at 50 
targets, except Storr, who. shot at 100: Jamison 49,

The Southern Handicap. 
The Interstate Association’s seventh Southern Handi¬ 
cap tournament will be held at Columbus, Ga., May 
14, 15 and 16, under the auspices of the Columbus Gun 
Club. 
Columbus has for many years been known as the 
“Eowell of the South,” and the great' cotton mills in 
the city now operate over a quarter of a million spin¬ 
dles in the manufacture of the staple. Its industries, 
however, are not confined to the manufacture of cotton, 
but include about ten large fertilizer plants, some of 
the largest iron works in the South, and many other 
important manufacturing enterprises. 
Situated as it is at the head of navigation of the Chat¬ 
tahoochee River, it enjoys uninterrupted steamboat com¬ 
munication with the Gulf of Mexico over a route full 
of scenic beauty. North of and within the limits of the 
city are the falls of the Chattahoochee, and these provide 
the power whicli operates, through electrical develop¬ 
ment, nearly all of the factories of the city, besides fur¬ 
nishing the power necessary to operate the street car 
service, domestic and city lighting, etc. 
Seven lines of railroads radiate fjoni the city of 
Columbus, thus furnishing ample facilities for freight 
and passenger traffic and insuring low rates of freight 
on the commodities used locally. 
In the city proper and within two miles of the center 
of the city, there are over 40,060 souls, all reached by 
the first-class electric car lines. There are many points 
of interest in and around the city, and these, with the 
many large manufacturing plants, will afford the sight¬ 
seers a pleasant time in their inspection. 
Columbus combines with its great industries and com¬ 
mercial activities, an innate love of clean, healthful 
sports. It had the pleasure of holding the fifth South¬ 
ern Handicap in 1910, and enjoyed the distinction of 
having the largest entry list in that event of any of the 
Southern handicaps yet held. Its record of that year 
bids fair to be considerably eclipsed in the present year. 
The Columbus Gun Club, under whose auspices the 
1912 Southern Handicap will be held, is one of the 
oldest and livest of the Southern gun clubs. Its mem¬ 
bership is composed of the best business and profes¬ 
sional men of the city, and the members are enthusiasts 
in the trapshooting world, and numbers of them par¬ 
ticipate in similar events in different parts of the 
country. 
The grounds of the Columbus Gun Club are situated at 
the foot of the main street of the city, and are reached 
by the cars from the center of the same in four or five 
minutes. They are equipped with every convenience, and 
with the knowledge acquired during the 1910 Handicap, 
the coming event promises to be as near perfection as a 
great tournament can be. Street cars pass all of the 
leading hotels at short intervals, affording rapid transfer 
to the grounds of the club. 
The Columbus Gun Club extends to its friends and 
to sportsmen generally a most cordial invitation to 
attend the Southern Handicap of 1912, at Columbus, on 
May 14-16, and promises a pleasant time while m the 
city. 
Mulberry Grove Gun Club. 
The Mulberry Grove Gun Club .entertained two 
former members, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Ingram, on 
April 10, and while they have not kept in practice, yet 
went away with the best score. Mrs. Ingram was 
greatly handicapped with a strange and larger gauge gun, 
but made a creditable score, getting 12 out of 25. 
Weather conditions were ideal for the first time in the 
history of the club. But the disagreeable weather has 
so far failed to have any effect on the attendance of the 
members, a majority of them shooting each week, and 
sometimes wading snowdrifts from one tO' three feet 
deep in order to get to the grounds. 
Weekly shoots for the handsome Du Pont trophy have 
been regularly carried on throughout the winter, a com¬ 
plete account of which will appear in a later issue of 
Forest and Stream. 
To-day’s scores at 25 targets each, were; Mrs. J. W. 
Ingram 12, T. W. Ingram 17, F. E. Martin 16, Dr. Poin¬ 
dexter 13, 0. T. Davis 12, Ed. Hartley 12. 
F. E. Martin. 
Queens C. C. 
Queens, L. I., April 13.—Two interesting stake events 
and many practice shoots were decided over the traps 
to-day at Queens, L. I. The most important event was 
a shoot for the Chapman cup at 50 targets. The event 
was won by B. H. Hathaway with a total of 43. The 
Daley trophy was won by J. M. Kissam. 
Analostan Gun Club. 
Washington, D. C., April 14. —The members of the 
Analostan Gun Club had a very bad afternoon to shoot 
yesterday. The day was dark and cold and a strong 
cross-wind made the shooting extremely difficult. Mr. 
J. A. Anderson was a visitor, and did some good shoc'- 
ing. Scores:
