Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
The monthly shoot in the series for the club’s live 
bird trophy was held on Feb. 10, with about half the 
usual number of contestants, Messrs. Payne, Robbins, 
Daineron and several others being conspicuous by their 
absence. 
The day was clear, and if the mercury had been a 
little further above zero would have been perfect for 
outdoor sport. 
The birds w r ere rather a poor lot, with many sitters. 
There were a few fast incomers and quarterers, and an 
occasional tailer, just enough to make things interesting 
and to prevent straight scores. John Schreck, who is 
shooting now like he used to when he won the Schuler 
trophy, was high man with only one migs, his 11th bird. 
Walker and Gould divided second money on No. 12. 
Neither of them was in good trim to-day. Woodbury 
fell down in the trophy event, but got the best of it 
in the ten-bird race and took first money. 
The club is assured of a big crowd on Feb. 22 at its 
fifth annual Washington’s Birthday shoot, and there will 
be several out-of-town men on the firing line. It would 
be an excellent scheme for the Cincinnati Club to hold its 
shoot on the 23d, as many who come for the Northern’s 
would stay over and put in a day on the former’s 
grounds. The scores:

The Pacific Indians. 
Nelson, B. C., Feb. 4.—Will you kindly announce that 
the last week in July, to-wit, the 26th. 27th and 28th, 
has been selected as the time for holding the second 
annual tourney and pow-pow of the Pacific Indians at 
Nelson, B. C. 
This time is chosen to make a closely consecutive and 
convenient circuit in the Northwest in connection with 
the Fifth Pacific Interstate handicap at Seattle, the first 
week in August. 
Shooters coming from the East will stop first at 
Spokane for the Washington State shoot, the third 
week in July, and finishing there, will make the short 
run up- to Nelson the following week, thence proceed¬ 
ing to Seattle and whatever may follow on the Coast. 
The Pacific Indians will add in money and trophies a 
total of $800; moneys will be divided on the percentage 
plan, in. the ratio of 40. 30, 20 and 10 per cent, and 
competition for purses will be open to all amateurs and 
to all members of the Pacific, American and Canadian 
Indians. 
It only remains to be said that Nelson is one of the 
most picturesquely located cities on the North Ameri¬ 
can continent, nestled in the heart of the Kootenay 
Hills on the east shore of Kootenay Lake, than which 
there is no prettier body of water anywhere. Hotel 
accommodations and fishing are incomparable. Every¬ 
thing possible will be done for the entertainment of 
visiting shooters and their families, and it is likely that 
a special train will run up from Spokane immediately 
after the State shoot there. 
Programs and full details will be furnished later.

Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus. O., Feb. 13.—The Pleasantville, O., Gun 
Club members were visitors of the Columbus Gun Club, 
Feb. 7 —nineteen of them. They shot a string 
of 25, then took lunch, then shot some more. They were 
new f° the game, hence low scores. They came over to 
see how an up-to-date club was run. After lunch some 
repaired downtown to transact business and some stayed 
most all the afternoon. 
Some of the trade representatives were out to meet the 
visitors and to give them pointers on what was the best 
to shoot. Quite a rivalry has sprung up among our 
representatives on account of one of the old shell com¬ 
panies having put their shells back in this territory. It 
had very little to do here since the G. A. H. was held 
on our grounds. Thirty shooters took part. Several of 
the home boys were out and helped make it pleasant for 
the visitors. All departed saying they had had a fine 
time, and said they would return again. 
Quite a nice bunch of shooters were out Saturdav 
afternoon, Feb. 12. None were expected on account of 
abopt the worst weather for the season; but when the 
time came for them to show up they sure did show up, 
and they made up, too, when they got to the score Some 
very good scores were made. When the roll was called 
thirteen answered. Charlev Ward was up from Ashe¬ 
ville: Halliday from Cincinnati; Swickard from New 
Albanv; Mabin and Stillwell, of the Columbus Merchan¬ 
dise Co.; R. O. Heikes, of Dayton. 
Every one is welcome at the Columbus Gun Club. 
Come out and see if vou are not. Don’t forget our mid¬ 
winter, with about $100 average money and three guns to 
shoot for.
