Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
The weather on May 5 could hardly have been better 
for trapshooting, and quite a bunch availed themselves 
of the opportunity to indulge smashing the clays. 
Capt. George Dameron, the club’s best shot, divided 
high honors with two well-known professionals, O. J. 
Holiday and J. S. Day, on a score of 94. He and 
Holiday each went straight in the first event and were 
the only ones to do this stunt during the afternoon; 
each broke 48 out of the first 50. Day shot a very 
consistent race, dropping three targets out of each 10. 
Ford, of Lebanon, did his best work in the first two 
events, going at a 90 per cent. gait. George Walker, 
who has only taken up shooting at targets in the last 
few months, white flier being his favorite sport, and one 
in which he was proficient, made second high amateur 
average to-day, breaking 90 per cent, of targets. He is 
going to have a try for the prize at the Kentucky State 
shoot, and if he continues to improve will have more 
than a fighting chance. Hack is a new one at the 
game, and was using a strange gun; in the field his 
score would have been much better, and we look for 
great improvement as soon as he gets a little more 
familiar with trapshooting. Gould was on hand, ready 
to meet his weekly antagonist, J. B. C., but the latter 
failed to show up, and Doc. was given the match by 
default. 
The next shoot will be on May 12, and the feature will 
be the match between H. R. Irwin and M. H. Johnson. 
The latter has been doing some nice work lately, and 
the race promises to be an interesting one, with the 
winner in doubt until the last target is thrown. The 
club will give a registered shoot on Aug. 15 and 16. 
This will make it an easy matter for the local amateurs 
to shoot at the 1200 targets necessary to qualify for the 
Post Season tournament, to be held on the grounds of 
the Cincinnati Gun Club in October. They can make it 
by attending the Kentucky State shoot this rnonth at 
Lexington: the Ohio State shoot at Dayton, in June, 
and the shoot at the Cincinnati’s grounds in September. 
It looks like there would be a good representation of 
local shooters in that banner event,- for we have a 
number who can easily make the required 88 per cent. 
As a finish to the afternoon’s sport, Ballard and Holiday 
shot at 12 pairs, the latter scoring 20 and the former 18.

Siwanoy—While Plains. 
Mt. 1’ernon, N. Y., May 4.—An interesting match 
was shot to-day between picked teams of the White 
Plains Gun Club and the Siwanoy Country Club, of 
Mt. Vernon, at the traps of the Siwanoy Country Club. 
White Plains came one man short, and were given 
Mr. Dalton, who is a member of both clubs. Mr. Dal¬ 
ton shoots regularly. with the Siwanoy team and bears 
the distinction of being the only amateur who has broken 
25 straight at the Siwanoy traps. These are situated in 
the woods, and the irregular, freakish winds and a back¬ 
ground of alternating light and shade add greatly to the 
difficulties of the shooter. 
A return match has been arranged for May 25 at 
White Plains. The scores were as follows:

Gun Club. 
Indianapolis, Ind., May 5.—Dr. Britton broke the 
first 40 and looked like the day’s high gun, but lagged a 
bit thereafter, and a bunch of the young folks beat him 
cut. Moller, Alig and Parry each got a 20. Edmonson 
and Lewis were tied for first place in the percentage of 
targets broken, with IMoller less than 1 per cent. back. 
Teams of five, headed by Parry and Edmonson shot at 
200 targets, the latter winning 173 to 168.

Dead Shot is the 
least affected by 
climatic conditions 
Stored in a high altitude where the atmosphere is tlie dryest, or 
in the dampest seaboard town in Te.xas, Florida or elsewhere, 
Dead Shot will keep nearer perfect than any other powder. 
Make the above experiment yourself. 
*Use a bell glass as in the above cut, placing the shells under 
the glass over the pan of water, in a warm room where evapora¬ 
tion is rapid. Shoot a few loads every day until the paper of the 
shells is so swollen by dampness that you can no longer force 
them into your gun. 
Any amateur shooter may judge for himself the significance of 
“Stability-Guaranteed-Dead Shot ” 
in a competitive test of this kind. 
If you wish to submerge your shells in water over night we 
will guarantee that, if your shells are water-tight, the powder will 
hold up in velocity.
