Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
The warm spring weather of April 3 had the same effect 
on the members of the club it has exerted on the mem¬ 
bers of plantdom, and, like the crocuses and tulips, they 
blossomed out in large numbers. Eighteen faced the 
traps, which really is a whole lot, for this locality, and 
gave the grounds at Dayton, Ky., a most animated ap¬ 
pearance. High honors to-day went to George Dameron, 
who broke 96 out of 100. He has been a little off lately, 
but is getting back into the form of last fall. After 
breaking 96 he spent some time studying out the reason 
for missing the other 4, but at last accounts had reached 
no satisfactory solution. He made a run of 59 straight, 
nothing phenomenal, but still something that is not done 
very often at local club shoots. John Schreck seems to 
be climbing back to the place he used to occupy as a 
target shot, and to-day tied Dameron on 49 in the 50- 
target event, and was second high man with 92. Holo- 
day was not in shape for some reason, for it is seldom 
that he fails to break 90 or better. J. B. C. is probably 
one of the most consistent shooters in the club. lie can 
be depended upon to break from 75 to 80 per cent, week 
after week. To-day he got 81, which put him in fourth 
place. There were several shooters present who are 
comparatively new in the game. They can asily he 
picked out from the scores. They are all enthusiastic 
and only need a little encouragement to become regular 
attendants, and eventually some of them will become the 
top-notchers of the club.’ It is up to the club to do all 
it can to get new men, if it desires to keep interest in 
the sport alive, and the new members must be recruited 
from the younger sportsmen. Many of the. o'. 1 stand-bys 
in this vicinity have joined the great majority or have 
given up shooting, as they feel the encroachments of age, 
and so far none of the -clubs has made any exertion to 
fill their places. The new ground manager, Walter 
Rohrer. is certainly a hustler, and is doing good work 
in systematizing things, so that there is no confusion 
either at the club shoots or at special events. The 
grounds are also beginning to show the effects of his 
work. Some one has said that Uncle John Dea could 
hold his own with any shooter of his age in this vicinity. 
He takes exceptions to this statement, but his f'iends be¬ 
lieve it’s true, and would stand back of him if a chal¬ 
lenge should be issued. 
The Sunday monev-back tournaments will start on the 
last Sunday 'in April, and it is expected they will be 
much better patronized than last season. This system 
has been proven a good one for the poorer shots among 
the amateurs, and has evidently come to stay. A mer¬ 
chandise shoot is also talked of for the near future. 
Plenty of prizes, instead of a few high-priced ones, is a 
proposition that will appeal to the shooters. A squad of 
the club will attend the shoot at Harrison on April 9.

Gun Club gave an informal shoot in honor of Mr. L. A. 
Young, of Springfield, O., and Mr. P. B. Plummer, of 
Chattanooga, Tenn., two representatives of the trade, at 
which quite an enthusiastic bunch of shooters and spec¬ 
tators gathered. Mr. Young was high gun with the ex- 
cellent score of 96 out of 100 , breaking his last lu 
straight. Dr. Lathomer, of Canton, O., was second. 
Mr Harry Turner, one of the best scouts in the game, 
was breaking in a new gun, which caused his scores 
to suffer. Following are the scores:

Quite an interesting team race was shot at Navarre, O., 
April 1, between five members of the Navarre Gun Club 
and a like number from the Massillon, O., Club, in which 
the latter was victori&us by the close margin of 7 targets. 
It is the intention of the Navarre boys to hold a 
tournament this summer, which will be well worth attend¬ 
ing as all who know this bunch of boys can attest. 
Mr C A Young was high gun with the nice score of 
95 out of 100, while Mr. Scheltz, of the Massillon team, 
was high amateur. , , , 
The trade was represented by Messrs. \ oung, Call and 
Plummer, the latter acting as referee. 
After the team race a number of extra events were 
shot, in which all participated
