The annual corn roast of the Columbus Gun Club has 
come and gone, and with recollections of a pleasant 
day well spent by the gentlemen who were in attendance. 
c .r°wd, owing to so many shooters being away at 
this time, was not as large as it would have been a 
1 tv r /vf 1 * t*? e season , when they all come home. 
Mr * j j , 1<ield sent his regrets and wished the boys 
a good day s sport. Being called away on business, he 
was unable to attend. 
Jack Smith was away down on the St. Lawrence, but 
his next letter will say that he thought he “somewhere 
detected the odah of roasted korn about 6 o’clock on the 
6 th of August.” 
Roundy Chamberlain is somewhere in the country 
£nd we imagine that he would have enjoyed an ear of 
that elegant brawn corn and roast potatoes. 
Fred Le Noir has gone up into Michigan, and had to 
miss the corn, but Mrs. Le Noir very gracefully took 
his place, and did it in fine style. 
John R. Taylor also missed the big bon fire. John 
has been away ever since the Grand American. 
Dell Gross said he would drop in and sav good-by 
before going West, but he must have had a hurry call. 
- 7t e f bottenfield, of Centerburg, shot through the race 
and had to leave before the doings. Lee, you must not 
hurry so next rime. 
Trimble the genial Winchester man. was here 
and did the shoot. Ralph says a corn roast is the real. 
Everybody got a prize in the 25-bird merchandise event 
and there was a fine lot of them.

An&lost&n Gun Club. 
V ashington, D. C., Aug. 9.—Yesterday twenty shooters 
reported at the regular shoot of the Analostan Gun 
Club, of this city. The afternoon was perfect for the 
sport. There was an absence of wind, the sun was be¬ 
hind the clouds, the air was cool and bracing, and it had 
its effect on the boys and good scores were the result. 
Following is the record for the afternoon:

Notes. 
Farnham, alias “Faversham,” was not satisfied with 
the 90 per cent, gait made last week, and “hit it up” 
for 95 per cent, yesterday. This is the record for the 
amateurs on our grounds, and the young man has a right 
to feel proud over his score. 
Uncle Joe started off like a winner, but got aboard 
the “Slumpville limited” after the third event, and went 
to the bad. This is an exception for him, and the boys 
must look out for him in the future. 
Dufour is becoming acquainted with his new gun, and 
is doing satisfactory work with it. 
Dr. Shoup was breaking in a new ejector, and wound 
up with 41 out of 50—good work when one considers 
that his new gun is a straight stock and his old one, 
which he was accustomed to, was crooked enough to 
“shoot a rabbit down a well.” 
Burridge Wilson, formerly president of the club, was 
with us for the first time this year. The boys were all 
glad to see him, and he gave them his promise that he 
would be on hand for the remaining shoots this year. 
T. C. Dulin, one of our prominent business men, 
joined our ranks yesterday. He shot any old gun, and 
it was his first trial at the clays. He will do better with 
his own gun. 
Mr. Fowler tried his hand again. He knows how to 
handle a gun and will be all right when he “quickens 
up.” 
Dick Hawes was off yesterday, but says he doesn’t pro¬ 
pose to give up. 
Dr. Monroe’s new gun puzzles him a little yet, but 
each time shows an improvement, and he hopes to have 
it broken in by the date of the Westy Hogan shoot at 
Atlantic City. He expects to be there, and so does Dr. 
Parsons Jos. H. Hunter, H. A. Farnham, Dr. Barr, 
M. D. Hogan, Phil Steubener, and others. 
The last two events were shot under difficulties. The 
trap got out of fix and threw the birds very low. The 
boys had to resort to- “snap shooting,” and this pulled 
down their scores. Mr. Wise and Parsons suffered the 
worst by the low birds. 
Miles Taylor, Sec’y. 
Bradford Gun Club. 
Bradford, Pa., Aug. 8. —The programme for our 
ar 7H a green corn and clambake shoot is now ready for 
mailing, and as these shoots have always been well 
attended and enjoyed, it is the one to attend for a good 
time. We expect to make this one better than the last 
and shooters wanting a good shoot and time want to 
mark Bradford on their calling list for Sept. 3 and 4.
