Indianapolis, Ind.—The Indianapolis Gun Club’s 
fifth annual fall target shoot, which was held on Thurs¬ 
day and Friday, Sept. 24 and 25, was very satisfactory, 
both to the club management and the contestants who 
took part in the tournament. Preparations had been 
made to take care of fifty or sixty shooters, and with 
two traps working perfectly throughout the two days it 
did not take long for about half of the expected num¬ 
ber actually entered to shoot through each day’s pro¬ 
gramme. 
The long continued drouth, while inflicting untold 
hardship upon the greater masses, was a blessing for the 
tournament occasion. Weather conditions were every¬ 
thing that could be desired. 
The Squier money-back system came to the rescue of 
six of the contestants, any one of whom when shooting 
in his normal form would have pulled away and ahead 
of many of the others who profited in the purse dis¬ 
tributions. This system fully demonstrated its signal 
merits of protecting the unfortunate contestant—and any 
and all are likely to fall into that category at times, and, 
too, without any apparent cause or because of the con¬ 
testant’s fault—without in any way detracting from the 
returns which the skillful shooter may rightfully expect 
for his superior work. 
The five professionals attending the tournament, in the 
two days’ programme scored out of 400 targets, as fol¬ 
lows: Barkley 381, Reid 371, Le Compte 360, Vietmeyer 
345, Marshall 340. 
Among the amateurs who shot through the entire pro¬ 
gramme of both days, J. S. Young, of Chicago, tied 
Barkley’s score of 381, and had no serious competitors 
for first place. Ed. Voris, of Crawfordsville, was second 
with 363. W. N. Wise, of Noblesville, was third with 
362. W. L. Straughn, of Waveland, was fourth with 360.

Red Hook Gun Club. 
Red Hook, N. Y., Sept. 26.—The second annual tour¬ 
nament of the Red Hook Gun Club, held Sept. 23 and 
24, was a success, though the number of contestants was 
not large. 
Favorable weather conditions prevailed—the wind was 
light, and the smoky atmosphere was conducive to good 
scores. 
The trade was represented by J. A. R. Elliott, Geo. R. 
Ginn, F. H. Stevens, C. B. Smith, Neaf Apgar, Sim 
Glover, J. S. Fanning and H. L. Brown. 
Elliott was in fine form, and made a hot pace from the 
start, winning high professional average with 310 out of 
320. J. S. Fanning and Sim Glover tied for second with 
303. Glover made the longest run of the tournament—155 
straight—and Fanning had a run of 123. 
The cashier’s office was in charge of the genial Geo. 
R. Ginn, who kept that department running in a smooth 
and workmanlike manner. 
Among the amateurs present were F. B. and George 
Stephenson, of Brooklyn; Ike David and A. S. Tail- 
man; E. Hicks and T. S. Sheldon from Millbrook; 
Messrs. Benson and Levins _ from Dover Plains; J. J. 
Farrell from Troy; S. T. Cole, Wm. Mattice, S. C. 
Hopkins and others from Catskill. 
There were six events of 20 targets each on the first 
day. B. R. Horton and B. C. Schutte tied for high 
average with 99 each; J. W. Bain was second with 97. 
There were ten events on the second day, one of 25 
targets for merchandise, 16 to 20yds. handicap. F. B. 
Stephenson won high average with 182. Isaac Tallman 
was second with 178, and J. J. Farrell was third with 
175. In the merchandise event, E. Hicks, 18yds., was 
first; F. B. Stephenson, 20yds., J. J. Farrell, 20yds., and 
J. W. Bain, 20yds., tied, and tossed up for choice. R.

The Shining Trail. 
The Indians’ tribute to the memory of Hood Water* 
Chief Follow Trail: 
Uncertain sails yon fair canoe, 
All aimless on the noonday seas; 
Wanting the helsman firm and true 
To hold it to the varying breeze. 
Not always tempered to the wind is the mariner o'I 
life’s fathomed deeps. When from the home port tb . 
lone boatman faces his destiny, strong in manly vigc I 
and confident of victory, there is rare pleasure and pridl 
on the part of his associates watching his voyage froi 
afar. Though well aware of the dangers of_ the dee; 
we are never prepared for what we somestimes mu 
find — the tenantless barque drifting home on the sunsi j 
tide. 
Even so, as sang the Sachem of old, the lesson c] 
life and its antitheses have come home once more will 
all the force of a.hitherto unknown grief to^ the Indian! 
in the tidings that Hood Waters (Chief Follow Trail; 
touched by the blight that sometimes lingers ’neat; 
southern skies, has had to give up the chase in tl 1 
height of his successful career. 
For the true manliness that was his inherent natur 
the unfailing cheerfulness and fellow feeling that w;| 
voiced ever from his lips and spoken in those kindl 1 
eyes, we loved, honored and esteemed him, and plac I 
this tablet’to his memory in the Tribal hall of fame. 
To his widowed helpmeet and the family to whom 1:1 
was dear, we extend our sincere sympathy, biddin I 
them but feel with us in this hour of supreme sorroj 
that he whom we mourn achieved as much of good worl 
in his unfinished career as is accomplished by man I 
who span the full measure of three-score and ten. 
In witness whereof is affixed hereto the seal of tl: I 
Indians, this 21st day of September, 1908.
