the Mineola Fair Grounds June 4 and 5 . As 
usual, the classification is of the most extensive 
and up-to-date character, as many as 869 regular

latter there are fifteen variety classes with four 
money prizes of $ 20 , $ 10 , $5 and $ 3 , respectively. 
Apart from this several hundred valuable cups

GOOD FRIDAY. 
“Now, boys,” said a Sunday school teacher, ad¬ 
dressing the pupils of his class, “can any of 
you tell me anything about Good Friday?” 
“Yes, sir,” spoke up one bright little fellow,” 
bursting with knowledge. “Yes, sir, it was him 
as done the house work for Robinson Crusoe, 
sir."—Brooklyn Citizen. 
Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
May 12 was a poor day for trapshooting. Black, 
heavy clouds threatened to spill their moisture at any 
moment; the light was poor, and a forty-mile wind, 
right quartering toward the traps, kept the shooters 
guessing as to the flight of the targets. The right- 
angle targets were especially hard, as the wind beat 
them down, at the same time accelerating their speed, 
and causing the shooters to send the load well over 
them. Some of the straightaways developed .into 
climbers as soon as they got clear of the trap house, 
and it is safe to say that the contestants got not only 
unknown angles, but also unknown flights. The at¬ 
tendance was small, owing to the weather, only six 
men facing the traps during the afternoon. The feature 
of the shoot was the match between H. R. Irwin and 
M. H. Johnson, at 100 targets. The match was a close 
one, but neither man shot up to his average. At the 
close of the second round Johnson had a lead of one 
target; this lead he increased to three in the third 
round, and added one more in the last 25, going out 
with four tar.gets to the good. Irwin did his best wcrk 
in the second round, when he scored 23, the best 
single round score of the match. A return match, same 
conditions, will be shot in the near future, probably on 
the Cincinnati Gun Club’s grounds. 
\V. R. Chamberlain, of Columbus, was high man for 
the afternoon, with 94. He gave a remarkably fine ex¬ 
hibition under the hard weather conditions, breaking 
49 out of the last 50, and making a run of 53 straight. 
Lawrence, of Corydon, Ky., also a professional, was 
second high man with 81, a score several targets below 
his mark. 
In a match between Hammerschmidt and Johnson, at 
25 targets, the latter being allowed three added targets, 
the result was a tie. The shoot-off, under the same 
conditions, was won by Johnson, with a lead of one 
target. H. R. Irwin then tackled Hammerschmidt under 
the same conditions, the latter winning by six targets. 
There will be a good representation of the Northerns 
at the house-warming shoot of the Cincinnati Gun Club, 
which will be held on May 30. The next monthly 
tournament of the Club will be held on May 26, and a 
good bunch is expected, as it will be the last chance for 
practice before the big Decoration Day shoot, and then 
many of the boys are anxious for all the work they 
can get in order to get in trim for the Ohio State shoot 
at Dayton the first week in June.

Birmingham Gun Club. 
Birmingham, Ala., May 12.—The attendance at the 
special shoot of the Birmingham Gun Club was very 
smalh especially local shooters, probably on account of 
the Golf Tournament and other attractions. Guy Ward 
was high on all program targets. J. K. Warren was 
high amateur on all program targets. H. D. Gibbs 
broke 98 of his 100 single targets, which was a phenome¬ 
nal score, owing to the fact that Guy Ward outshot him 
on doubles, he failed to be high man. Most of the day 
was taken up 
with 
handicap 
and special events.

Canadian Olympic Tryout. 
Montreal, Can., May 15.—The preliminary Olympic 
trapshooting trials for the Province of Quebec were 
held on Saturday afternoon at St. Lambert. The weather 
was all that could be desired, except that at times the 
wind caused the birds to take uncertain courses. 
It was unfortunate that more were not present to 
qualify for entrance in the final trials, which will be 
held on the 24th inst. Even Mr. W. H. Ewing, the 
present world’s champion trapshooter, was unable to 
be present. 
The conditions of the shoot were 100 birds each in 
ten 10-bird events, 17%yds. rise, six men up, moving 
after each bird. The results were':
