In Other Places. 
The first annual tournament of the Blue Rock League,

nings, of the Riverdale Gun Club, with 107 out of 125.

Goodson, Secretary; H. S. Stivers, Treasurer; Directors, 
W. E. Bryant, J. Bohland, F. Prospol, J. H. Goodund,

A big supper shoot will be held by the Cumberland 
Gun Club, Davenport, la., the first week in February. 
All the shooters in the twin cities will be invited to take 
part, and a royal time will be the result. The meeting 
was truly a revival, and every effort will be put forth to 
arouse interest in the shoots for the year 1907. Those 
selected as a committee to arrange for the shoot are: 
Harvey Kahler, Henry Eggers, F. W. Kroy, Chas. Kess¬ 
ler and Theodore Wilkens. New officers were elected, 
who will serve for the next twelve months, viz.: Presi¬ 
dent, Walter Hass; Vice-President, Theo. Wilkens; Sec¬ 
retary, Harry Martens; Assistant Secretary, Ignatz 
Schmidt; Treasurer, John Heinz; Grand Master, William 
Dunker; Assistant, Nic Bay; Directors, Henry Eggers, 
F. W. Kray, Carl Thode, John A. Reading, and Chas. 
Kessler. 
The St. Paul, Minn., Rod and Gun Club held a meet¬ 
ing and took steps to more rigidly enforce the game laws. 
A committee was appointed and instructed to hold a 
conference with other clubs and to get some concerted 
action on the amendments of the present law, and to pro¬ 
vide a sufficient fund to enforce the laws. The idea is 
to license each hunter in the State, the same as is now 
in force in Illinois and other States. This would supply 
funds that would surely ensure the enforcement of the 
laws. The election of officers followed, viz.: President, 
A. J. Holmes; Vice-President, D. Percy Vittum; Secre¬ 
tary and Treasurer, A. E. Perry; Directors, J. L. D. 
Morrison, E. W. Bazill, Dr. L. W. Lyon, G. A. Wood 
and Frank Novotny. Mrs. Vittum and Mrs. G. R. 
Slocum were elected honorary members, being the only 
ladies ever admitted as members. The report of the 
secretary showed the affairs of the organization to be in 
good shape. A banquet was then held, and all present 
were glad they were alive. 
The Montfort, Wis., Gun Club has secured the Shepard 
sisters’ orchestra, and will give a concert and dance on 
Friday for the benefit of the club. 
Another gun club is to be formed at East St. Louis, 
Ill. For some months several of the young men living 
at Alta Sita have shot on Sundays, and the interest has 
become so intense that when Dr. A. B. McQuillan, one 
of the good shots, suggested a gun club should be or¬ 
ganized, there were about a dozen men found anxious 
to' become members. 
Good scores were hard to make a.t the shoot held by 
the Parker Gun Club, of Milwaukee, Wis., on Sunday 
last. Ludington, Miller and Hammersmith were high. 
Scores: at 20 targets Hammersmith 17, Block 11, Miller 
16, Klapinsky 14. Brown 12, Kroening 9, Kasson 13, 
Bruemmer 10, Ludington 18, W. Kroening 9, Twaster 10,

Molt 9. 
With the good score of 47 out of 50, M. Doorneck wtjn

waukee, \\ is., Sunday last. L. Zass was second. This 
club looks after the social part of the organization, and 
will soon hold a masquerade ball. Scores at 25: M.

Art. Bother 20, Joe Donlan 17, Dr. Henle 17, W. I. Oakes 
15, Charles Mitzger 13. 
Elmer Shaner was a visitor at Chicago last week, and 
visited the grounds of the gun club where the next 
Grand American Handicap will be .held. It is reported 
that he approved the buildings, and reported that the 
prospects for the next G A. H. were very bright, and 
that a large attendance would be seen at the new park 
m June. 
\ ork, Neb., Shooting Club held a shoot last Sunday 
that was well patronized. 
Word comes from Muskogee, I. T., that Mr. Tom 
Doggs, of St. Louis, has been challenged by Mr. E. P. 
Gallup, to shoot a match at 100 targets for $100 a side. 
So far as learned,, Mr. Doggs has not accepted, and 
would no doubt think twice before going from St. Louis 
to Tulsa, I. T., to shoot the race. 
The rifle club at Davenport, la., known as the Marlin, 
held a side shoot on Saturday last, and then proceeded 
to the Horns Hotel, and there the losing side paid "for 
an Qsborate spread. Much good fellowship prevailed. 
Richmond, Va., keeps up the interest in trapshooting, 
and stops not for the winter's cold. Some good scores 
are being made. Plammond lately made 93 and MacLel- 
land 92 out of 100. Capt. A. W. du Bray and T. Haze 
Keller were present and took part. 
The weather is bad now up North and West, yet there 
are a few clubs gathering their scattered members to- 
S e ther and pulling the trigger on a few targets. 
Peoria, Ill., trap shots are getting busy and the out¬ 
come will be a new gun club. J. J. Jobst, William Allen, 
Robert Clark, Wm. Neidroth, Geo. Simmons, Chas. Bar¬ 
ton, Wm. Woolner, Joe Wiel and Robert Scholes are the 
men to get it going. 
There seems to be a new gun club at Rockford, Ill., 
that hangs its banner to the breeze under the name of 
the Red City. The shoots hereafter will be held on 
Tuesday instead of on Friday. 
The secretary has sent in the information that the 
members of the Spring Lake Rod and Gun Club are re¬ 
quested to hold a meeting and smash up a few targets.

Gentlemen 20, Martin 20, Sheehan 19, Stillwell 19: Lavin 
21, Sweger 20, Krause 18, Crooks 17, Wallingford 18. 
Nineteen trap shots took part in the Ames, la., Gun

Joliet, Ill.., the scores were loyv; yet reports say that 
those present enjoyed the Jack Rabbit shoot. 
At the last shoot 'held by the members of the West 
Toledo, O., Gun Club, there was much enthusiasm. It

North Side Gun Club. 
Paterson, N. J., Jan. 26.—At -the shoot held by the 
North Sides, on their ground at Columbia Heights to¬ 
day, we were short one man in the team match—one of 
our best shooters—arid had to pick a man, McGurk, who 
is out of practice. The result was we were defeated; but 
then being good losers, and ready to try again, we will 
try to turn the tables on Feb. 9, at which date we shoot 
a return match with the Caldwell Club at North Cald¬ 
well. 
NeSt Saturday we will visit the Jackson Park Club 
at their grounds at Little Falls, when we expect to 
turn out in good numbers. 
There was a large attendance. The weather .was of 
good winter kind, although the glare of light on the 
snow strained the eyes of the shooters somewhat. 
PI. Bender was the high man all-round. He had 22 
on credit, while Joe Spaeth came in well with 
7 j , Fischer was the best shooter for the visitors. He 
had 21. There were thirty-four men in the five sweep- 
stake events, and the general efforts of those participating 
was above the average. Scores: T
