Cincinnati Gun Club. 
Cincinnati, O.—The live bird shoot held on Feb. 22 
was quite a successful affair, though the attendance was 
not up to the, expectations of the managers. However, 
those present had an afternoon of fine sport, and a large 
gallery of spectators were on hand to liven things up. 
The birds were extra good ones, hardly a sitter in the 
lot, and all strong, fast fliers. When the trap was sprung 
the birds were off for the hills like a shot, and the man 
who was not quick in getting a line on them surely got 
left. There was a little delay in getting the birds to the 
ground. Indeed, it was rumored that the shipment had 
not arrived in the city, so that the first event was not 
started until nearly noon. This prevented the following 
of any regular program outside of the trophy event, and 
various matches were gotten up to suit the shooters and 
keep the sport going until approaching darkness forced 
a halt. 
First was a miss and out, in which Plammersmith, 
from 31yds., killed 5, straight, with Bruns and Schuler 
second on 4 each, the latter losing his last bird dead out. 
In the trophy event twelve men faced the traps, Ham¬ 
mersmith and Pope tying for first on 16, three of the 
former’s lost birds being dead out, and Pope failing to 
stop two of his before they got over the boundary. 
In the 10-bird event, Hammersmith was high with 10 
straight kills, and gathered in first money. Riley, Barker 
and Schuler tied on 8 for second, and third place had 
three occupants with 7 each. 
In a match at 10 birds, between Bruns and Riley, the 
former won by one bird, the latter losing one of his 
birds dead out. 
A close contest was witnessed in the team match be¬ 
tween Connely and Riley, and Bird and Pope. At the 
half-way post the teams were tied, each having lost 6 
birds; but the first team had the best of the last half, 
and finished winners by one bird. Bird had three of his 
birds drop dead over the boundary, and the others each 
lost two birds in the same way. 
Hammersmith did not shoot in all the events, but that 
was not his fault; he was one of the busiest men on the 
grounds, taking an active part in helping to keep things 
going, and also running the financial end of the shoot. 
He shot at 35 birds, killing 31, not quite up to his usual 
good mark. 
Riley scored 4S out of 70, which is a very good show¬ 
ing, considering that the live-bird game is comparatively 
new to him. Pope also made a very good score for a 
beginner at pigeon shooting, getting 40 out of 55. 
Conley and Bird each shot at 50 birds and scored 37 
and 36 respectively. , , , 
A feature of the shoot was the dinner served by Mrs. 
McFee in the club house, and every shooter on the 
grounds made good at the table, if they did miss a few 
at the score. Mr. C. W. McFee, of Burlington, Ky., 
has taken charge of the grounds as superintendent, and 
will be on hand every day in the week. He is one of 
the well-known trapshooters of this locality, has been 
in the game a long time, knows all the ins and outs of 
the sport, and will do his best to please visitors. He has 
many friends among the shooters, and will doubtless be 
able to bring the club back; to something like its old 
standard. , 
Every one knows Cooney Klein, his decisions as referee 
were accepted without a kick, and the club appreciates 
his services in this capacity, and as official scorer for 
the shoot.

Hudson Gun 4 lub. 
Jersey City, N. J., Feb. 27.—The inclosed scores were 
made at the regular bi-monthly shoot of the Hudson 
Gun Club to-day, with nineteen shooters taking part. 
The weather was of a mixed variety. We had sun¬ 
shine, high .winds, showers and dark clouds to contend 
with, and only the weathered shots of the club could 
fathom where to hold and how to lead so as to smash 
the elusive clays. Schorty was on the grounds this 
morning before the trap boys arrived, and immediately 
got busy in the culinary department, for when the rest 
of the boys arrived there was a steaming pot of hot 
coffee awaiting us, the club house cleaned up, and the 
traps in readiness for the day’s program. He was also 
a very busy man with several beginners, trying to teach 
them how to hold and lead, and when the smoke of the 
day had cleared away, by good, consistent shooting was 
found to be high gun for the morning with a 91 per 
cent, average—and excellent score to get at the Hud¬ 
son’s grounds at any time. Mr. Engel, who was second 
high, also seemed to have his eye on them, as he fin¬ 
ished only 5 points shy of high gun. 
Event No. 2 was the club handicap, and the prize was 
carried off by Mr. Hopkins, after a shoot-off with Messrs. 
J. Pape, Kurzell and Malcomb, who had tied for it in 
the main event. 
Our next shoot will be held on March 13, and all 
trapshooters who can spare a couple of hours on the 
morning of that date, are welcome to come out to the 
grounds and enjoy themselves with one of the healthiest 
pastimes of all outdoor amusement. 
Take Turnpike car from P. R. R. Ferry at Jersey City, 
or any point in Newark, and get off at the west side 
of the Hackensack River bridge, then walk north to the 
D., L. & W. R. R. bridge, where the club house is 
situated.
