Fred Gilbert’s Recovery. 
The following welcome information concerning Fred 
Gilbert’s recovery from the grievous attack of rheuma¬ 
tism which has incapacitated him from following his 
vocation during many months past, will rejoice his host 
I of friends and acquaintances throughout the shooting 
world. The information is contained in a circular letter 
sent out by the company of which he is a representative. 
■ It is as follows: 
“Fred Gilbert, the Wizard of Spirit Lake, for years 
champion trap shot of the world, is convalescing after a 
; protracted illness, at Hot Springs. His condition for the 
past year has inspired predictions that Gilbert, who 
j swept all before him in 1903-4 and ’05, with performances 
which marked a new era in trapshooting, would never 
j regain his once marvelous form. Unless he should suf¬ 
1 
fer a relapse, it is announced that he will shoot over 
the Chicago traps early next month, preliminary to the 
Interstate Association ■tournaments, which begin at Rich¬ 
mond, Va., May 8-10, closing with the Pacific Coast 
Handicap at Spokane in September. 
“Carrying off the highest honors in 1903-4, with phe¬ 
nomenal scores, Gilbert eclipsed himself in 1905 by 
breaking 590 out of 600 targets in three days’ shoot at 
Des Moines, and then breaking 588 out of 600 at St. 
Joseph, Mo.—an actual record of only 22 misses in 1200 
targets shot at during six consecutive days. Whether 
this performance can ever be duplicated or approached 
by the former champion is a question, the reply to 
which is scheduled as one of the interesting trapshooting 
events of the coming season.” 
Baltimore Shooting Association. 
Baltimore, Md., March 2.— In a gale of wind, the

tested in the five events. France defeated Bowen in

Ressler—Hansel 1. 
Quarryville. Pa., Feb. 28.—The live-bird shoot held 
here to-day proved a grand success. Five hundred birds 
were trapped. Shooters from all nearby towns assembled 
to witness the special match between Geo. Hansell and 
Nat. Ressler, both of Lebanon, Pa. The conditions 
called for 50 birds each, $50 a side, the contest to be held 
on neutral grounds; but owing to the late arrival of one 
of the parties, only 25 birds each were shot at, as it 
was about dusk. Ressler proved the winner. From the 
start, it was noticeable that Capt. Nat. had his eye and 
nerve with him, as he centered his birds well, and shot 
with snap and ginger. Hansell seemed a trifle nervous, 
as his birds were hit only by part of the load. It was 
viewed by a big crowd, and Prof. Adams left nothing 
undone to make the visit an enjoyable affair. Id. Linn 
Worthington gave valuable assistance and refereed the 
match to the satisfaction of all.

New York, Feb. 26.—New York German Gun Club 
held its annual meeting on Feb. 25, at Baudendistel’s 
Hotel. The club’s treasury is in good shape, and

Mr. Dannefelser, was again elected for the twentieth 
consecutive year, and the members gave him three hearty 
cheers, and hoped he would be treasurer for twenty 
years more.

Pa., as soon as it could be assured of good birds, each 
member to shoot at 25 or 30 birds, at the club’s ex¬ 
pense. 
The club has put up six handsome prizes, to be com¬ 
peted for at this shoot, expense of same to be taken from 
the club’s funds. 
After the meeting the members enjoyed a grand sup¬ 
per prepared for them, and it was in the early hours 
of morning before the members parted. Each member 
tried to best the others in telling hunting stories and 
trap stories; how they had killed a bird at the boundary 
line, etc. 
The following officers were elected: J. F. Wellbrock, 
President; Peter Albert, Vice-President; J. P. Danne¬ 
felser, Treasurer; Emil Steffens, Secretary; Peter Garms, 
Captain. Shooter.
