Garfield Gun Club. 
CtncAco, Oct. 30.—The last regular shoot of the Gar¬ 
field Gun Club was held on afternoon of above date in 
a gale of wind that made shooting a gamble, with the 
odds against the shooter. Goetter put in an appearance 
and very much surprised the members. The presence 
of Vietmeyer was also a great pleasure. 
The final shoot-off for the season’s trophies will be 
held two weeks from above date, or Nov. 13. Everybody 
invited. The following were the scores on above date:

Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., Oct. 28. —Am enclosing a clipping 
from the last issue of the Catskill Recorder, as follows 
“Good for the Catskill Gun Club. In the Wynkooj 
gun-shop the other day an expert marksman on tht 
road for a powder, house, made the statement that of al 
the organizations in the country, gun clubs are first tc 
feel the effects of money panics. In this connection h< 
remarked that, bar a possible exception, but two out o: 
the six hundred gun clubs in the State—the Mountair 
View of Troy and the Catskill Gun Club—had kept uj 
their regular shoots since the panic of 1907.” 
This might be of interest to gun clubs in general 
It is to the Ossining Gun Club at least, for they hav« 
been holding regular shoots for the past twelve years 
which certainly has it on a lot of other clubs. If the 
Catskill Gun Club is still in commission it is news tc 
us all, for we never see any account of shoots they an 
holding, and they do not belong to the New Yorl 
otate Sportsmen’s Association, which would be an evi 
dence of their being alive. We think the “expert marks, 
man who is quoted by the Recorder had better “smokf 
up, for the Mountain View of Troy is not and has 
not held regular shoots since early last spring, or the 
writer has been misinformed. 
Ossining, N. Y. Oct. 30.—A regular club shoot, post 
ported from the 23d mst., on account of the illness of a 
nearby resident was held on the Ossining Gun Clul 
grounds to-day. Conditions were very favorable foi 
scr ^ res > but as usual hard targets were thrown 
lhe prize event was No. 4, at 25 targets, nhsses-as 
breaks handicap. Mr. A. M. Dalton, of Tuckahoe N 
Y v bei "S? a y er y welcome visitor, was not eligible for a 
prize lhe three prizes, first, second and third, in order 
named were won as follows: C. G. Blandford, set o 
table knives; N. J. Tuttle, hunter’s knife; Prestor 
W ood copper smoking set. Prize event will be run al 
each shoot of this club and prizes will be shot for re 
gardless of the number of shooters. 
Figures after the names signify misses-as-breaks handi¬

Fairmont Gun Club. 
The two days’ shoot of the Fairmont, W. Va., Gun 
Club, Oct. 27 and 28, was fairly well attended consider¬ 
ing the very unfavorable conditions. During the entire 
two days the wind blew a gale. No wonder Fairmont 
is a dry town, and they could no one else blow. 
The individual championship went to Squire Higgen¬ 
botham, of Jaclcsonburg, W. Va., after tying three times 
with Lants, of the same town. The general average 
went to Les. German, who started with 197 the first 
day. W ebster, of Columbus, being a sick man, shot a 
wonderful race, and nosed Wiedebusch out by one 
bird for the two. days’ average. 
The trade was represented by Lester German, Ed. H. 
Taylor, Jim Lewis, Goshorn and Brown. Brown, by 
the way, is the best man on rabbits we ever saw. When 
you miss them, run them to death. 
Jim Lewis and Ed. Taylor ran the affair, and began 
calling to come for your money before they started the 
merchandise shoot. 
The merchandise event had the finest lot of prizes 
ever offered in this vicinity. The number, twelve, for 
each day, including a gun, were valued at $ 200 . 
j e -?, r ^ £°ing to give another about Thanksgiving, 
and will feed you on turkey if you will come and try to 
break some with us. 
Averages for the two days, possible 400, were as fol¬ 
lows: Amateurs—Webster 378, Wiedebusch 377 , Bower 
066 , Higgenbotham 366. Professionals—German 391, Tav-
