Capital Beach Gun Club. 
Lincoln, Neb., June 10. — The initial shoot of the 
Capital Beach Gun Club was held at the new club 
grounds, Capital Beach, Friday afternoon, June 7, and 
there was a large attendance of local and visiting 
shooters. 
A more beautiful spot could 1 not possibly have been 
found to locate the club house and traps, which are on 
an elevation overlooking a immature lake. • There is a 
fine sky background, and the shooters face north. The 
gun club has just secured a ten years’ lease of the 
grounds, and the little club house was erected -n less 
than a week, to be in readiness for the shoot on the 
7th—beiqg substantial proof of the bustle and go of 
Lincoln shooters. Much credit is due Mr. A. A. Taylor 
for enthusing the shooters and organizing a gun club 
of over fifty members before a shot was fired, even for 
practice. Mr. A. A. Taylor, the popular president, is 
thoroughly capable of keeping things going, and the 
interest of the members keyed up to concert pitch. 
The eastern end of the grounds has a vaudeville 
theatre, a scenic railway and numerous attractions for 
the wives and children’ of the gun club members, who 
are busy at the traps. There is an attractive boat house 
on the lake, and small boats, where one can glide over 
the rippling water, and watch the beautiful sunsets 
Nebraska is noted for. 
Many ladies graced the occasion: Mrs. Earl Lee, Mrs. 
Chas. Fredericks, Mrs. A. A. Taylor, Mrs. G. B. Simp¬ 
kins, Mrs. Earl Truell, Mrs. J. A Pond, Mrs. Geo. 
Carter, -wife of the popular game warden; Mrs. A. FI. 
Hardy, Mrs. Nichols, Mrs. White and Mrs. Hood 
Waters, of Kansas City. The sweet girl graduates of 
Wesleyan were out gowned in white, carrying, the school 
flags, and many masculine hearts palpitated with joy 
and romance when they appeared. 
The Capital City Gun Club has a distinctive social 
feature, and only the best and most substantial men of 
Lincoln have their names on the list of members. 
Capt. Hardy gave a wonderful exhibition of his skill 
with rifle And revolver. Perhaps the applause of his 
friends and the pleasure of being in his home town 
was additional inspiration. He has never done finer work. 
Mrs. Hardy is also an expert with the rifle, and gave a 
limited exhibitipn of her skill. The shoot commenced 
promptly at 2 o’clock, and' was continued until nearly 
8 , giving many of the business men who could not 
leave their offices until 6 an opportunity to break a few 
targets. , The trap was in excellent condition, and it 
was a very snappy shoot. The most interesting feature 
of the afternoon was the 100-target event for the Thorpe 
trophy between Townsend, df Omaha, and Carter, of 
Lincoln—won by the former with a score of 87 .to 
Carter’s 84. 
The Thorpe trophy has always been won by a mod¬ 
erate score, Thcrpe winning it twice hims,elf with 89 
out of 100. The new gun club will give .a decided im¬ 
petus to local trapshooting, and the enchantment of the 
grounds will entice many men from the dull routine of 
office work to the traps. The scores:
