the South End Gun Club, City Line, Camden, on April 
20. The beautiful flag and pennant were gifts of Mr. 
Frank E. Butler and his wife (Annie Oakley). Ap¬ 
propriate ceremonies accompanied the function. A large

The Chicago Gun Club. 
The Chicago Gun Club grounds contains about twelv, 
acres, and has ample area for the purposes of trap 
shootine The main club house is of stucco, in bungaiov 
style of architecture, up to date in its modern con 
veniences, such as open plumbing, etc. Besides th, 
ample equipment for trapshooting, there is a complet, 
rifle and revolver range, in which about $-,000 are m 
vested In the club house and special locker house 
about 500 lockers are provided. Permanent cemen 
walks afford good footing for the shooters and visitors 
Five modern traps are installed, and each trap hous 
has room for an ample supply of targets. I here ar 
about 300 stockholders in the corporation. I his show 
what the shooters of a large city can do to econotniz 
the activities of the city shooters as a whole, to broade 
the scope of the sport, and to invest their money s 
that it has a proprietary significance instead of tha 
which pertain to a rentor simply. The latter neve, 
owns anything, though in the sum total of rent par 
through the years, he is the man who pays the world 
expenses.

McKeesport Daily News championship cup was shot on 
the Enterprise Gun Club grounds Saturday, April 20. A

this insures his winning the series.

be given to the man making the high score.

Ouarryville, Pa., April 18.—The first in a series < 
team shoots, between the farmers and merchants <

for the Ouarryville Gun Club. The alter is a youn 
club and the members celebrated the dedication of the 
fine new club house by the splendid victory oyi 
Lancaster. Happy as they were, they yet left nothin 
undone to show their rivals and friends a pleasant da 
at the traps. There is not a better group of gentleme 
to be found than that of this young organization. A 
show a willingness to help the shoot along by worl 
and this kind of material is what makes a club su 
cessful. As a hint to the trapshooters hereafter ju 
watch their advertisements, attend their shoots and yc 
are assured of a square deal and a good time amor 
In the programme events, totalling 160 targets, Na 
Ressler, of Lebanon, Pa., was high gun with 144.

in the team race and received the congratulations 
every one. Ressler was going at his old-time ch 
Look out for that shooter, Coleman. Krick used Glein

The transition from the narrow sphere of the individual 
c’ub to the broader sphere of _league organization, and 
the consequent greater activity in competition and 
greater claim to importance, has added incomparably to 
the upbuilding of trapshooting as a national sport. A 
more lecent advance is the consolidation of gun clubs 
in certain of the large cities and the consequent pos¬ 
session of completely equipped, ample grounds, with 
roomy club house, -etc. All this bespeaks, in firm tones, 
for the permanency of the sport and its still larger 
growth. In some instances the grounds and their equip¬ 
ment are secured by forming a corporation and issuing 
the necessary stock. As shooting grounds near a city 
are sooner or later sure to largely appreciate in value, 
the securing and holding of such grounds constitute a 
good real estate investment. 
The new Chicago Gun Club has made a distinct ad¬ 
vance on anything that has preceded it, with the possible 
exception of Interstate Park, of Hollis, L. I.. a shooting 
ground now of unhappy memory. That park contained 
something less than forty acres, and cost about $600 or 
$800 an acre. I.and about Hollis is now held at from 
$4,000 to $5,000 an acre, hence it is apparent that as a 
real estate investment, Interstate Park was -enormously 
profitable had it been properly managed. 
The shoot in the winter series for cups on the groui
