Sunset Gun Club. 
Steamboat Rock, la.—May 21 dawned clear. For a 
wonder, the wind did not blow. The targets made a 
nice, even flight. There were some very high scores, 
notably that of Mr. Geo. Maxwell, 195 out of 200. The 
managers were assisted -by the following professionals: 
Mr. Russell Klein, Mr. H. H. Barber, and Mr Henry 
Kahler, Mr. Geo. Maxwell, Mr. Fred C. Whitney. The 
latter had charge of the office work. The scores:

May 21, Second Day. 
The weather was different from the day before. A cold 
rain delayed the start. One event was declared off on 
account of darkness. Mr. Kahler’s trunk, which was 
carried by the day before, returned this morning and 
let him in. 
Mr. Barber had to leave last night for Fargo, N. D., 
and Mr. Whitney for St. John’s. So Mr. Maxwell took 
charge of the office, and with the assistance of Klein 
and Kahler, handled the work all right. 
The club used the visible score board, and the 
: Shogren system. This, with the short events and the 
number dropping in and out, made the work greater than 
that of a regular shoot of twice the number of entries. 
Below appear the scores, which owing to the dark, 
windy day, appear very low. But when such men as 
Billy Linell doesn’t get up some, you are safe in guess- 
1 ing the day was bad.

Kansas City Trap. 
Ktns&s City Gun Club Shoot. 
The Kansas City Gun Club held a shoot at Elliott s 
Blue River Park, May 18. On account of rain and snow 
on previous dates, the shoot was postponed several 
times, and the attendance was not as, large as usual. 
The weather was ideal—a typical spring day—bright 
sky, with fleecy white clouds making moving pictures, 
set in a frame of blue, 
“Hung, in space before God’s face. 
His mighty works to view.” 
There were two 25-bird events. Franke was high in 
1 the first event, 23 out of 25. Durkee and Plank second 
! with 22. In the last event. Plank was high, 24. Harlan 
and Franke second, 23. The scores, 25 live birds:

Kansas City Trapshooters* League. 
The Kansas City Trapshooters’ League held a mer¬ 
chandise shoot at Blue River Park, May 19’. The desire 
to be where the green trees wave and the flowers are in 
blossom brought out fifteen shooters and a number of 
spectators. Many ladies enjoyed the shade of the club 
house piazza The weather conditions were perfect 
blue sky, and not a suggestion of breeze. 
There were two 15 and a 20-target event. Sheldon was 
high with 49 out of a possible 50. Carpenter broke 47, 
I while Cosby scored 44. 
The feature of the afternoon was the gun event, 25 
i targets. Cosby made a run of 25 straight, and did some 
pretty shooting, centering his birds every time. Carp-
