JOSEPH DIXON CRUCIBLE CO, JERSEY OTY. N. J, 
Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., Aug. 29.—Some very clever shooting 
was done by our little friend “Chocolate Roundy,” Fred 
Le Noir and G. M. Smith were hitting them hard. 
When the balloons came drifting over from the starting 
point at the Driving Park, the straights became further 
apart, as the interest in the large bags with their human 
baggage was intense. 
The Du Pont trophy race was hotly contested. Fred. 
Shattuck won it with 25 straight, and G. M. Smith was 
second high with 24. 
Mr. J. Y. Bassell has just returned from an extensive 
trip into Virginia and the South, and came out to do a 
little pistol and shotgun practice. Mr. Bassell is a 
lover of the game, and says everybody ought to shoot. 
Wm. Weinman is the crackerjack fisherman; he stopped 
at the club the other day with a fine catch. Bill is some 
doings at a turkey shoot, the boys at Gahannah say. 
L. W. Cumberland has been on the sick list with a very 
severe summer cold, and L. W. says it was not necessary 
for him to go to a summer resort to get it. G. M. 
Smith is getting over the spell of flinching, and now 
promises to make some of the hard hitters take a look. 
Shilling is busy with the new edition of his book on 
“Where To Hold.” Mr. Doud is a new man at the traps, 
and is doing fine for a starter. Jack Smith is back from 
the summer trip, and as predicted, he got the “odah of 
roast corn” and at once headed in this direction. 
Harry Smith is sticking to the _ automatic, and is 
shooting it very nicely, as four 19s is not so bad when 
Harry had to get back to start the balloons.

scores of the bi-monthly shoot of the Hudson Gun Club, 
held to-day at the club grounds, on the banks of the 
Hackensack River, with an attendance of only ten shoot¬

wind to bother the flight of the targets, and some good 
scores were made by Schorty and Thomas, the latter 
having a straight run of 45 in events 1 and 2. 
Events 3, 4 and 5 were from the 26yd. mark, the scores 
being very good for this distance.

Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., Aug. 26. —A correspondent has sent 
us the following concerning the Ossining Gun Club 
shoot and clambake, held to-day: 
“Bad weather greeted the Ossining Gun Club’s clam¬ 
bake and clay bird shoot. It rained incessantly from 
morning till night, but the events came off as scheduled, 
rain or clear. William F. Wagner deserves a lot of 
credit for the fine bake he was able to put up in spite 
of the pouring rain. Everything was perfectly cooked, 
and the forty people who braved the rain and mud were 
well repaid for their trouble. 
“Fourteen shooters participated for the solid silver 
Tiffany cup, valued at $45. There were two professionals,
