Only a few were at the shoot on April 27, notwith- 
standing that the day was a fine one. There was con- 
siaerable wind Rowing, which made the targets rather 
uncertain quantities, so far as getting a line on their 
night was concerned, and scores were not quite up to 
mark. Porter succeeded in smashing 73 out 
of 100, but under normal conditions could have done 
some better. West came second with 63, a low score 
for him. Plattersley was out for the first time in 
months, and did some very good work, handicapped as 
he was by the wind and the use of a 20-gauge gun. 
Reif was a welcome visitor and shot in his old-time form 
in the second event. We hope he can be induced to let 
his motor boat stay at the float once in a while this 
summer, and get into the game again. Besuden has not 
been out for a year or more, and showed his lack of 
practice. Frohliger, as usual, did the scorer’s and 
cashier’s work, and could only get a chance in a couple 
of events, not doing so well as he is able. 
The next shoot will be held on May 4, and every 
shooter will be welcome. A pleasanter place to spend a 
summer afternoon cannot be found around Cincinnati, 
even for those who do not care to shoot. Scores:

Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
The first of the club’s monthly tournaments was held 
S-u under very bad weather conditions. 
The sky was covered with heavy clouds early in the 
morning,' when out-of-town shooters would have to 
start, and just before noon a down-pour of rain stopped 
the shooting for some time. There were several show¬ 
ers during the afternoon, which made it very disagree¬ 
able. In spite of this, however, there were twenty-five 
shooters present to take part in the sport, and fifteen 
shot the entire program. The shoot was given under 
the N. C. R. system, the program being a duplicate of 
the one given by that club on April 27. Whether it 
will be as popular here as in Davton, is a question that 
will have to be answered later. It is up to the shooters 
to signify their approval of the club’s policy by turning 
out at these shoots. The program was two events at 
20 and four at 15 targets each, with entrance of $5; of 
this, $1 was taken out for targets and 40 cents for hi.gh 
average money, divided 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent; the 
balance, .$3.60, was divided class shooting, '40, 30, 20 and 
10 per cent, in each event. 
Among the visitors were C. A. Young, Springfield, O.: 
T. J. Donald, Felicity, O.; G. G. Williamson, Muncie, 
Ind.; G. H. Ilassom, Boston, Mass.; N. .Smith, Mor¬ 
row, O.; Francis and Maddox, Harrison, O.; and Link, 
Hamilton, O. But for the weather, there would have 
been a squad down from Dayton. Sam Lever and Dull, 
of Goshen, O., were present and shot in the practice 
events. The best shooting of the day was that of C. A. 
Young, who broke 171 out of 175 in the practice and reg¬ 
ular program, and scored 98 in the latter. It was 
as nice an exhibition cf shooting as has been seen on 
these grounds in many a day. Williamson was in second 
place, and won first high average money on a score of 
93: then came Ilammerschmidt with 92, closely follow_ed 
by Hassom, a professional, with 91. Dameron and Link 
tied for third high amateur on 89, neither of them putting 
up the score that they are capable of. Donald and 
Maddox got .fourth money on 88 each. 
The special event, with fourteen entries, resulted in a 
tie on 25 between Hammerschmidt and Link, the former 
from 20 and the latter from 19yds. As it was late when 
the event was finished, and as the trophy consisted of 
three pieces of silver, they tossed a coin for first choice, 
and Hammerschmidt won. The crowd was disappointed 
at not seeing a shoot-off, but the high men were sat¬ 
isfied, and that was all that was needed. Dameron and 
Williamson finished second in this event on 23 each. 
The next of the series will be held on May 26. The 
next club shoot will be on May 4. The last of the 
series of matches between Hammerschmidt and Dam- 
cron was pulled off to-day, and was won by the former, 
the scores being: Hammerschmidt 92, Dameron 89. 
'rhis makes two out of three matches won by Hammer¬ 
schmidt, but Dameron leads him several targets on the 
300. In the special event, the 90 per cent, men shot 
from 20vds.; 85 to 90 per cent., 19yds.; 80 to 85 per 
cent., 18yds.; 75 to SO per cent., 17yds.; all below 75 
per cent., from 16yds. Scores:

Ossining, N. Y., April 27.—Rain spoiled what other¬ 
wise might have been a fair-sized practice shoot here 
to-day. Six hardy wielders of the scatter gun showed 
up, and .good scores were made. Event 1 was at 25 
targets, for practice; Ncs. 2 and 3 made up a 50-target 
prize event. Bedell won out with 47, with Blandford 
and Wood close behind. J. H. Moran was alone in Class 
C, and got the prize without a struggle. Scores:
