mixed event on the third day. He thought he was only 
getting a single and had taken down his gun when he 
saw the other target and broke it just before it dropped 
to the ground. 
Clegg thought this was a good money shoot and 
brought a hand-bag along to carry his winnings in. 
Incidentally, he used it to carry his winnings in. 
Berny Elsesser slept on and on, and on Wednesday 
was only awakened by the frantic ringing of his tele¬ 
phone, when some one called him from the grounds to 
find out if he had expired. This was about 11 A. M. 
Berny. had the machinery clogged, as he had the money 
sheets, score sheets and squad sheets. You should have 
seen the gang greet him when he appeared on the 
grounds about 1 P. M. 
Schlicher won the silver pitcher, which Frank Eames 
donated as a trophy for high average, as well as the 
gold medal which is indicative of the State champion¬ 
ship. 
Frank Lawrence, Jimmy Lewis and Harry Overbaugh 
were noted as being about and looking after the interests 
of their companies. 
There were many re-unions of the boys of the earlier 
days of trapshooting, and they were frequently seen in 
groups and pairs discussing the days agOne. 
The shoot was an unqualified success, and though the 
program was rather complicated, everything went off 
without a hitch, and the boys are now awaiting the 
next meeting at Du Bois.

Washington, D. C., May 15.—Yesterday was a trying 
day on the members of the Analostan Gun Club, who 
desired to make big scores. When the shooting com¬ 
menced the wind was blowing hard from the northwest 
and the targets soared skyward, and consequently the 
shooting was difficult. As the afternoon wore along, the 
wind diminished some and everybody picked up in their 
shooting. Phil Steubener came out with the avowed in¬ 
tention of beating everybody on the ground and making 
a ground record. He succeeded. He scored 93 out of 
his first 100. Out of his last 100 he scored 98. He missed 
5 in his first 35 and only four in 165. Mr. Steubener 
likes high targets and these were to his liking. Dr. 
Monroe braced up and only missed 3 out of his last 70. 
Dr. Stine scored 48 out of 50 during the afternoon, and 
Everett Dufour quit with 91 out of his 100. Jos. H. 
Hunter scored 68 out of 75. Following are the scores:

The prospects 
for 
our all-day shoot 
on May 30 
look 
very bright at this time. Several professionals will be 
with us, and a number of visitors from nearby towns. 
May 22.—The Analostan Gun Club, of this city, was 
favored with fine weather for their shoot yesterday. The 
ciay was warm and there was not enough wind to inter¬ 
fere with the flight of the targets. One week ago Phil 
Steubener hung up a new ground record of 98 out of 
10C. The boys thought this would stand for a long time, 
but this thought was soon dispelled. Jos. H. Hunter, 
who had the record wrested from him by Steubener, 
made up his mind that if Phil could “bat out” 98 he 
could go him one or two better. It looked as though he 
would make the 100 straight, and he probably would, 
if he had not accepted a target that he ought to have 
refused. It was his 73d—between a straightaway and a 
riglit-quarterer and rather low; but notwithstanding the 
boy did not pull promptly, Joe accepted it apd overshot 
it. This did not rattle him, and he broke the rest 
straight, scoring 99 out of his 100. They were not “dub” 
targets, for every target thrown during the afternoon went 
beyond the 50yd. stakes. He was warmly congratulated 
by those present. Emory Storr, the trade representative, 
was with us and was not far behind Mr. Hunter. He 
broke 122 out of 125, and ran his last 63 straight. Everett 
Dufour scored 48 out of his first 50, and quit with 94 
out of 100. Dr. Monroe got 75 out of 80, and finished 
with 90. Dr. Stine was also in the running, accounting 
for 113' out of 125. S. P. Fielding and Dr. Cockerille 
each scored 46 out of 50, and Wm. F. Holmead, who 
has shot very little during the past ten years, “united” 
with the club, and broke 45 out of 50. Following are

Edgewater, N. J., May 21.—At our weekly snoot 
Saturday afternoon, May 21, there were over 2,000 targets 
thrown. Every one seemed to enjoy every minute of the 
afternoon, good scores prevailed, and the club was 
honored by the presence of three well-known profes¬ 
sionals—Mrs. and Mr. F. Butler and Mr. H. Welles. 
Valuable services were rendered during the shoot by 
Messrs. Sorter, Lydecker, Richter, Wynne, Eickhoff, 
Dr. Welzmiller, O. B. Keller and our Senior Captain, 
J. G. Ropes. Some one said that the comet’s tail had 
affected Dr. Welzmiller’s shooting. C. S. M.
