Indianapolis Gun Club. 
Indianapolis, Ind. — For a winter day, Saturday after¬ 
noon, Dec. 5, was a very pleasant one at the Indianap¬ 
olis Gun Club for target shooting. The ground was 
covered with a thin layer of snow, and the bright sun¬ 
light upon this in the early part of the afternoon pro¬ 
duced a confusing light that tended to minimize the 
size of the targets, especially to those who tackled them 
from the handicap firing lines. . 
Prior to the commencement of the shooting the rules 
governing the English Hotel cup permanent disposal 
contest were modified to require the contestants who 
win one event of the indeterminate series of weekly 
shoots from the 18yd. line shall thereafter compete from 
the 20yd. mark. Accordingly, Michaelis and Parry, each 
of whom bad already won one event from the initial 
distance of 16yds., and a second from the 18yd. line, took 
the extreme handicap position of 20 yds. in the day s 
event. The day’s event was won by Wise, shooting 
from 16yds., with a very commendable score of 48 out 
of 50 targets. He was hard pressed in the race, how¬ 
ever, by Michaelis, who shattered 47, shooting from 
20yds., making the last 25 straight. Next Saturday after¬ 
noon, Wise will begin his career in the contest at 
18yds., if he don’t get cold feet. The scores were: Wise 
48i Michaelis (20) 47, Britton (18) 46, Dixon 46, Denny 
(18) 44, Brennan 44, Farrell (18) 42, Hymer 41, Neigh¬ 
bors 41, Parry (20) 37, Moller 37, Bell 37, Lewis 06 .
