Northern Kentucky Gun Club. • 
Dayton, O.—The club officers were not expecting the 
crowd which assembled on March 20, to witness the 
return team match with Hyde Park. This, in combina¬ 
tion with bad weather early in the afternoon, made them 
hustle to run off the match and give the thirty odd 
shooters all the shooting they wanted. The day was 
warm, with light rain in the forenoon and a heavy 
thunder shower about 2 o’clock, after that there were 
one or two light showers, which did not stop, the shoot¬ 
ing. The events were all run off over one set of expert 
traps, which worked without a hitch. O. J. Holaday, Sr., 
refereed the match. The home team won by 27 targets, 
all the members shooting well up to their usual average. 
Dameron made high score for the match, 46. Dea took 
second on 45. 
The Hyde Park contingent was decidedly out of form, 
only two of their number, De Mar, who tied for second 
on 45, and Beekley, coming within 20 per cent, of what 
they can do. It was just an off day with them, and no 
explanation can be given for their downfall. Rugg, al¬ 
ways a safe 90 per cent, shooter, dropped to a 68 per 
cent, gait; Reif, almost a sure bet for 90, could account 
for only 72, and Eustis dropped from 85 or 90 per cent, 
to 64. The team is not discouraged, however, and is 
ready for another go any time. 
The trade was very well represented, and by well- 
known shooters. Messrs. R. L. Trimble, who was high 
for the day with 95; Lester German, second with 92; 
Fred Le Noir, 89; R. O. Heikes 87; O. J. Holaday, Jr., 
86 , and L. J. Squier 74. 
In the 50-target event, Trimble led with 48. In the 
first round he and German were tie on 25, but in the 
last 25 Trimble gained one target, 23 to 22. McFee was 
high amateur in this event with 45; Rugg, who seemed to 
be getting back into form, was second with 44. 
The last thing on the order of exercises was a match 
between the six professionals and an equal number of 
amateurs, the former standing at 19yds. and the latter 
at 16yds. The professionals won, but only by 7 targets; 
Gorman, of the professionals, and Dea, of the amateurs, 
tying for high score on 24. The new ground superin¬ 
tendent, Walter Rohrer, had charge for the first time, 
and made good, but it kept him busy. 
“Tiny” Keefer, of the Northerns, shot a good race, 
and can always be depended upon to deliver enough of 
the goods to help out a whole lot. 
The “money-back” Sunday tournaments of the club 
will be started in April, and will be held on the last 
Sunday of each month through the summer and fall. It 
is expected they will be well patronized, and another 
set of traps will be put in place ready for use if needed. 
C. W. McFee was high amateur to-day with 88 ; 
Hammersmith second with 86 . The scores:

Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., March 17.—The shoot held on St. Pat¬ 
rick’s day was a success, thirtv-two shooters taking part. 
The weather could not have been better. The Hoodoo 
is taken off of the Columbus Gun Club now, always get¬ 
ting a bad day for their shoots. 
These monthly shoots are proving popular; then the 
handicap, which don’t let just a few get it all, helps 
some. 
George Buchanan, shooting from 18 and 19yds., won 
high average. Fred Le Noir, shooting from 18yds., won 
high professional average. Ed. Cain won the Stevens 
shotgun by breaking 24 out of 25, and 15 straight in 
the shoot-off. E. M. Stout and Cartmiller tied for the 
gun. but lost on the shoot-off. 
The trade was represented by L. J. Squier, Barstow, 
Le Noir and Winans. 
The next shoot will be April 12, with the same pro-

Target Practice at Home 
—in the attic or cellar, or right in your apartment if room ar¬ 
rangement permits—is entirely practical with a home-made 
bullet catcher and the new 
Model 25 7/2ar/l/l Repeater—.22 short or C. B. caps 
This is a perfect Marlin repeating rifle that shoots 15 .22 short or 18 C. B. caps at one 
loading. Its take-down construction and trombone action are popular and desirable 
features ; the side ejection favors rapid, accurate firing ; the removable side-plate makes 
it especially easy to keep clean and serviceable. 
The C. B. caps are entirely accurate 
and satisfactory in this short range 
work, yet they are the cheapest form 
of reliable ammunition made. 
With .22 short cartridges it is very 
accurate and powerful enough for 
all small game shooting up to 50 
yards. 
The price of this excellent new model is surprisingly low—send a postal today for circular
