150. ^

Club cancelled the elaborate practice contests, preliminary 
to competition in the State shoot, to be held at Lebanon, 
Pa., May 20-24. Two 100-target events were shot in¬ 
stead. C. H. Newcomb was high in the first 100-target 
event, and Mr. Tansy was high in the second with 94. 
A strange coincidence was that Tansy made 83 in the 
first event, and Newcomb made a like score in the sec¬ 
ond event.

an all-day shoot on Decoration Day, on their grounds, on 
Mountain avenue, and in connection with same a clam 
chowder picnic. One of the main attractions of this 
shoot will be a team match between the Cedar Grove 
team and the home team in the morning and afternoon. 
There will also be several prize events open to all ama¬ 
teurs. The location of these grounds make them espe¬ 
cially inviting to shooters desiring to spend a pleasant 
day in the country, in addition to the advantage of 
having a day’s sport at the traps.” 
K 
Mr. Arthur Gambell, of St. Bernard, O., writes us as 
follows: “My position as superintendent of the Cincinnati 
Gun Club will end on the 10th inst., as I will give in 
my resignation at the annual election of officers on that 
date. I have accepted a position with the Kentucky 
Shooting and Fishing Club, at Ryland, Ky., a large 
and exclusive organization of Cincinnati business men. 
It is hardly necessary to tell you that my heart is still 
with the old club; and it is with keen regret that I 
leave it. However, my recent severe loss by the burn¬ 
ing of our magnificent club house, makes it necessary 
for me to seek more remunerative employment. July 
would have made my tenth year with the C. G. C. I 
have inaugurated a series of live-bird shoots at Ryland, 
notice of which I inclose.” 
The two-days’ shoot of the O. C. S. A. Gun Club, 
Utica, N. Y., May 30-31, has a programme of ten events

$10.40. Added money, $15. On the second day, ten 20- 
target events are provided, entrance $1.30, except in 
event 5, for merchandise, in which the entrance is $2. 
Added money, $18. The merchandise prizes are divided 
into Classes A, B, C and D. and distance handicap will 
govern. Shooting will begin at 9:30. Competition is

Fort Wayne Tournament. 
Fort Wayne, Ind., May 9.— The second tournament 
of the Corner Rod and Gun Club of this city was held 
under favorable circumstances as to- weather and at- 
teT '['h e programme was a good one, of the usual 200 tar¬ 
gets each day; and there would have been one more 
entry the first day if one gentleman by the name of 
Kit Shepardson had not got the dates crossed and came 
only for the last day, which shut him out of the average 
money, which, by the way, was an attraction, there being 
$100 set aside for that purpose , . f 
The nome of the Corner Rod and Gun Club is one of 
the best in the United States. It is not merely a shoot¬ 
ing park. It is the pleasure resort for the members and 
their families. There are numerous buildings, and all 
the various amusements usually found in a summer gar¬ 
den Many thousands of dollars have been invested in 
grounds and buildings, and _ with about five hundred 
members, comprising the business men of the city, the 
permanency of this club is assured. It is truly social, and 
that fact keeps up the activity, especially in the summer 
season. 
As to the weather on the 7th and 8th, it was fairly 
good. The first day found 1 the targets towering quite a 
bit, and the second day the rain fell, though not enough 
to stop the shooting. , , , 
There being only twenty shooters the last day, tne 
programme was finished early, and then the late comers 
of the club members had their innings, and rare sport 
they had. Several matches were shot, and one gentle¬ 
man, shooting under the name of Jennings, kept his 
interest until he had fired about 400 shots for the day. 
He got a bit excited after he had pulled the trigger on 
that old black powder load. The club is fortunate in 
having Mr. John V. Linker for its secretary, and he 
surely' keeps things moving. Scores:
