Alert Gun Club. 
Phillipsburg, N. J., Sept. 6.—If there’s one thin 
above all others responsible for “chestnuts”- in the con 
mon run of reports of the various trapshooting meet- 
it’s “reportorial instinct,” and the writer is so strong! 
afflicted with it that he must begin this by telling thy 
the registered tournament held by the Alert Gun Clu 
was a success; but we’ll apologize and try to mak 
reparation for sending you on every special occasion i 
its history by giving you and your readers some strict! 
fresh news. W e’ll tell you something about “the con 
ing of Colfax.” 
This club offers a prize to any one who can give fu'l 
information that will establish the identity of Mr. Colfax 
of Pompton Lakes, N. J. Height about five feet seve- 
inches; weight about 125 pounds; light complexion 
freckled face, brown hair. When last seen wore gra 
fedora hat, light gray coat, blue serge trousers, brow: 
outing shirt and sundry other things, including a broai 
smile that he is fully entitled to. We didn’t give hi 
age, but it must be about eighteen years by usua 
computation, and about eighty years by gun-wis 
reckoning. 
Look out for him, for he’s the real goods, a yard wid 
and all wool, a knight of the gun that’s born to excel 
a good one, and then some. Don’t look at the accom 
panying scores until we have just another word abou 
this remarkable youth. He came here on Labor Da- 
to shoot his first tournament. He knew not a sing]’ 
other attendant and had never laid eyes on thes- 
grounds, where the best of them must shoot to thei 
very limit to maintain their averages. He was a plain 
unassuming boy with a world of confidence in himself 
but not the kind branded “conceit.” He had a re 
peater of good grade wuth 32-inch barrel and a suit ca:-i 
well fitted with musty-looking old shells that Franl 
Butler says were of ancient brand. Two hundred time 
he pointed that gun in space and pulled the trigger 
and there were just eleven of his targets that measure< 
their full 47 yards’ flight in that time. Can you bea 
94% per cent over these traps? Come and try it. 
E. E. Bates, of Trenton, N. J., broke 182 and Edwart 
F. Markley, of Easton, Pa., broke 180, including ; 
straight run of 61 targets. 
Frank Butler and Colonel Hamlin took care of thi 
professional end of the tournament. They shot a raci 
for a purse of gold. The scores will show the winner

Columbus Gun Club. 
The fall programme of the Columbus Gun Club wil 
soon be announced and will consist of a dove dinner 
sometime in September, a wild duck dinner about the 
first of October and a game dinner about the first o:- 
December, with a number of special meets included; the 
winter shooting at the club is always well attended, anc 
a better season than ever is looked for this year. Jr 
large line of old oak-wood back logs have been laic;j 
in, and the championship for winter yarns around the 
old fire-place will be hotly contested, as we have with 
us many of the mighty hunters who go for big game 
and a great many who go for small game. A new gas 
stove has been put into the big assembly room in ad¬ 
dition to the old wood fire, and they of light circulation 
who do not believe in roasting in front and freezing in the 
rear, can parade about the new gas stove. The fal 
whist parties will also soon begin. The billiard tabic 
has been overhauled, and everything made ready foi 
indoor amusement during the fall season, and it is 
expected that a line of club steaks and mutton chops 
will be broiled on the coals in the old log fire. The 
boys are picking out their hunting dogs and greasing 
up the old quail fuzee, so she will do good business 
when the bell rings on Nov. 15. Trapshooting and 
quail shooting are two mighty fine sports—what is there 
better? < r 
The five-man team telegraph race was finished last 
Saturday, and the reports from the other cities are 
awaited with interest. The Columbus team enjoyed the 
shooting very much and found it good practice, and now 
that it is over we miss it. Another race for the fall 
and winter along the same lines would no doubt prove 
attractive and each man to shoot at 50 targets instead 
of 100. One hundred targets per man is most too many 
for an afternoon at a club where other events have to 
be pulled off.
