N. C. R. Gun Club. 
Dayton, Ohio, April 27.—That the N. C. R. tourna¬ 
ments are popular was evidenced by the fact that thirty- 
seven shooters entered on April 27, and all shot the en¬ 
tire program. In addition there were a dozen or more 
who took part in practice events before and after the 
regular program. It’s a pleasure to shoot there. The 
grounds, 40 acres in extent, are level as a floor, with 
perfect sky background. The traps. Ideal in one pit 
and Experts in the other, are in perfect order, and last, 
but by no means least, the club officers and members 
are glad to see you and are not backward in letting 
you know that you are welcome. The day was perfect, 
not a cloud in the sky, and the air just crisp enough 
to make a seat in the sun seem agreeable. The only 
drawback, possibly, was a strong wind blowing in the 
shooters’ faces, which made the targets soar at times, 
and caused some of the shooters to miscalculate, to the 
detriment of their scores. The program consisted of 
two events at 20 and four at 15 targets each. 
Taylor and German had a close fight for high honors. 
At the end of the 4th event German was two targets 
to the good, with a score of 64 (the first 59 straight) 
to 62. In the 5th event Taylor gained one target and 
in the last event two more, finishing one target ahead 
with 97 to 96. R. O. Heikes was second with 94, and 
was tied by F. C. Koch, of Phillipsburg, Ohio, who 
was high amateur. D. VV. Gilbert, of Union, Ohio, tied 
with G. W. Dameron for third high amateur on 90. 
The officers of the club are: H. C. Mombeck, Presi¬ 
dent; W. F. Bippus, Vice-President; W. F. MacCandless, 
Secretary-Treasurer, and S. W. Everett, Captain. All 
were on hand to-day and did their part to make the 
time pass pleasantly for their guests.

Buffalo Audubon Club. 
The second leg of the match with the Syracuse gun¬ 
ners was shot off at the Audubon grounds on Friday 
afternoon, April 26, and resulted as disastrously to the 
Audubon boys as the first leg, which was shot off at 
Syracuse on April 13. Now that both legs have been 
shot off, it will be clearly seen that the Audubons have 
not a leg to stand on. It is hoped, however, that they 
will recover and get after the Onondagas at a future 
date, and come out victorious. At the shoot held in 
Syracuse, the Onondagas won by 104 targets, twenty 
men on each team, and at Buffalo they won by 34 
targets, twenty-six men shooting'on each side. 
The day was very windy, with a cloudy sky, which 
made high scores out of the question. 
The visitors arrived at 11 A. M., and were entertained 
at lunch, after which shooting began and continued 
without interruption till dark. Nearly 6000 targets were 
thrown. 
On Saturday, May 4, the next regular shoot of the 
Audubon Club will be held, and a large attendance is 
looked for. Scores: 
Syracuse. Buffalo.
