The Oldest Gun Club. 
The question is often asked, “what is the oldest active 
gun club in the country, and where is it located?” 
Considering the fact that the “Sport Alluring” is only 
about 35 years old, this should be an easy question to 
answer, says the Du Pont Magazine. We confess, 
however, that we are not altogether positive just what 
club is the oldest, as there are many which have been 
shooting actively for a quarter of a century or more. 
Among the clubs which seem to have a chance at 
first place in this race, the Butte Rod and Gun Club, 
Butte, Mont., looks pretty good. Members of this 
club were shooting as a club as early as 1882, and 
were regularly organized as a club in November,' 1884. 
* * * 
Nine years previous to this, however, the Saratoga 
Gun Club, Saratoga Springs, N. Y., adopted trapshoot 
ing; traps were installed and the first matches at glass 
balls were begun. 
And again, the Cleveland Gun Club of Cleveland, 
O., was organized in 1880. The club house is equipped 
with a whale of a big open grate fireplace which burns 
a lot of cordwood to the comfort of the members, who 
shoot each Saturday all the year round. 
* * ‘ * 
Trapshooting is becoming popular at all country 
clubs; in fact, at this day and date a country club 
without a battery of traps is a passe proposition. So 
popular has this sport become that the clubs are in¬ 
stalling sets of electric lights for night shooting. 
Remember, this is a line of amusement that has more 
active participants than any other sport on earth. 
More than 5,000,000 nimrods in the United States pay 
a license every year for the purpose of carrying the 
gun afield. Of this number over 500,000 annually face 
the traps and struggle with the ' “bloodless pigeons” 
and the “tar hawks.” In baseball we pay our money 
to see others perform. In traoshooting we pay our 
money and do our own performing instead of being a 
chair-warmer in an amphitheater. Thus we will be 
one of the players instead, with all the sensation and 
thrills capering up and down our spinal column that 
are allotted hall enthusiasts during a post season 
series. Which sounds the best to you?

The American Amateur Trapshooters’ Association, 
the shooters’ new national supervisory body of which 
John Philip Sousa is president, has now completed its 
organization in thirty-nine states. Tn each state a 
vice-president has been elected who will head the State 
Organization and represent the various state units in 
the National Council. The secretaries of the affiliated 
clubs in each state constitute the Council of State 
secretaries, which, under the direction of the State 
vice-president, will carry on the work of the Association.
