Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O. —The fourth annual corn roast of the 
Columbus Gun Club, on Aug. 12, was one of the most 
pleasing events ever given at the club, and was at¬ 
tended by a great many shooters and their friends who 
'shoot, and many who did not shoot but were all right 
on the corn proposition, as any one who could ignore 
such corn as came from the log heap at dinner time 
certainly needed the attention of a doctor. After a 
careful invoice the next day, all who attended came 
through without a jar. 
The weather for the roast was just not exactly what 
was ordered, as the threatened rain made a bank of 
clouds that produced a peculiar background, somewhat 
puzzling to most of the target breakers. 
The morning programme of 100 birds was started on 
time, and was won by W. R. Chamberlain with 90 up, 
getting the cut glass water set. “Roundy” will have 
ice water regular now, just to keep the new pitcher 
working. 
The afternoon programme was begun after the noon 
luncheon was taken care of, and quite an array of talent 
lined up for the final go at the 150. When this pro¬ 
gramme was finished, it was found that the race was 
close between Mr. Harlow, of Newark, and Mr. 
Chamberlain, Harlow winning by one target, 137 out of 
the 150. The club house was decorated with standing 
green corn in tassel, and presented a very refreshing 
appearance. The bed of coals had the corn ready for 
business about 6 P. M. Corn was of the “Country 
Gentleman” variety, and the way it disappeared with the 
hot biscuits, roast chicken, baked potatoes, sliced to¬ 
matoes and other accompaniments, was just a sample of 
what kind of appetites we had about us. The doors closed 
at 11:30 P. M. on one of the nicest little gatherings of 
recent years and a time that will not be soon forgotten. 
Mr. L. W. Cimberland, of Columbus, won the Indian 
picture by winning high professional at the corn roast. 
A watermelon shoot will be given at the Columbus Gun 
Club on Saturday afternoon, Aug. 29, when the finest 
line of home-grown “Sweetheart” watermelons will be 
taken from the ice palace and opened for the shooters 
and their friends. The ladies are included in this in¬ 
vitation. The programme will consist of a 100-target 
race, with one 10- and six 15-target events, entrance for 
which will be $3. One dollar and twenty-five cents will 
be deducted for targets, and .$1.75 will go in for sweeps, 
25 cents to each event, divided into four moneys—35, 30, 
20 and 15—percentage system. All who wish may shoot 
for targets at 25 cents extra above one cent a target. All 
extra guests invited by members will be 25 cents each. 
The watermelon opening will take place at 5:30 P. M. on 
the upper balcony with music. A very cordial invita¬ 
tion is extended to all our neighbors and friends. The 
above entrance includes the programme from A to Z.

A corn roast 
certainly makes a hit with all 
the 
boys, 
and a large number have asked that we give another be¬ 
fore the corn is gone. The matter is under con¬ 
sideration. 
Bergen Beach Gun Club. 
Bergen Beach, L. I.—The monthly shoot of the 
Bergen Beach Gun Club took place on Tuesday, Aug. 
10, beginning at 1 P. M. The wind blew almost a gale 
from the northwest, toward and against the flight of the 
•targets, causing them to rise high. Though the targets 
seemed to be steady, a jump or two in the flight spoiled 
several straight scores. 
All the events were at 15 targets each, and but few at¬ 
tained the honor of a straight score. Those qualifying 
were Messrs. Vanderveer in the sixth event. Dr. Muller 
in the fifth event. Dr. Storey in the eighth event, Garry 
Rem sen in the third event, and John Hendrickson in 
the sixth event, blit four straight scores. 
Mr. King, of Elizabeth, formerly of St. Louis, one of 
the old-time live-bird shots, came to our grounds for 
the first time, and let his presence be known by stating 
that he had heard that the Bergen Beach traps threw 
targets to the limit, and he was going to have some. 
He shot well toward the latter part, but had a few bad 
minutes in the first and second events. 
Mr. Dalton, of Kensico, dropped in for the first time 
also, and he performed consistently. 
. Our crackerjacks, Kelly and Hendrickson, were a 
little off. John braced up, as remarked before, in the 
sixth event, but they were not shooting for a champion¬ 
ship to-day or we would have seen the fur fly. 
By the way, John has got back to his old double gun, 
and watch out from now on. 
Cap. Dreyer was feeling ill, but that new 32-inch high 
grade imported single barrel had to be tried for the 
first time.

OF YOUR FINGER! 
High-Power Self-Loading rifle 
.35! Caliber 
WINCHESTER I 
HERE is nothing to take your mind off the game if 
you shoot a Winchester Self-Loading Rifle. The 
recoil does the reloading for you, which places the 
complete control of the gun under the trigger 
finger. You can shoot six shots as fast as you can pull 
the trigger and without taking your eye off the sights. 
As this rifle is made with a detachable magazine, you can 
replace an exhausted one with a loaded one in a jiffy 
and continue shooting. No recoil-operated rifle but the 
Winchester offers this advantage. Other desirable and 
distinctive features of this rifle are — a stationary barrel 
with sights attached, and all moving parts enclosed. 
The .351 Caliber, High-Power Cartridge has great killing 
power, making it heavy enough for the largest game. 
Catalogue fully describing this rifle—“The Gun 
That Shoots Through Steel”—sent upon request. 
WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO., NEW HAVEN, CONN. 
Mr. Medler shot a new single that Harry Fessenden 
brought out, and performed excellently. 
All in all, it was a pleasant afternoon at the traps. 
Mr. J. H. Vanderveer had the high average, and 
Messrs. Woodcock and O. N. T. shot 16-gauge guns.
