Indianapolis Gun Club. 
Indianapolis, lnd., Nov. 11.—The members of the In¬ 
dianapolis Gun Club turned out several good squads of 
shooters, considering the fact that the hunting season 
is on—who took advantage of the ideal weather con¬ 
ditions and did some good stunts at the traps. Hymer 
was high in the practice event of 100 birds, breaking 92 
out of IOO, or 92 per cent. Parry was second with 91, or 
91 per cent. Bell, who shot at 20 birds, broke 19, or 
95 per cent, for his efforts. 
The third series of the Du Pont trophy handicap shoot 
was pulled off with three men tied' for first honors, 
Moller, Dixon and Hymer each getting 100 per cent., 
including handicap. Barr and Parry, who shot as scratch 
men, were second and third- respectively with 96 and 
94 per cent. The former is a professional.

Nov. 20.—Several good squads of shooters turned out 
at the Indianapolis Gun Club grounds and made the 
traps work until darkness sent them home. Several 
good scores were made in the face of a high wind and 
gloomy weather, which made the targets hard to hit. 
Kanouse, of St. Paul, Ind., was high gun, breaking 47 
out of 50, or 94 per cent.; Parry and Moore tied with 
86 per cent.; Parry shooting at 125 birds, broke 102; 
Moore shooting at 100, broke 86 . 
The fourth series of the Du Pont trophy handicap 
shoot, resulted in Moore carrying off first honors by 
breaking 50 out of 50, or 100 per cent., including handi¬ 
cap. Bell, who broke 48 out of 50 or 96 per cent., won 
second honors. Neighbors and Parry were tied for 
third place by breaking 47 out of 50, or 94 per cent. 
Parry shot as scratch man.

Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, Nov. 20.—Not much shooting at the traps 
this week, owing to every one being after game. We- 
had some of the officers from the U. S. barracks on 
Friday afternoon. Saturday afternoon there were a few 
out. Mr. Fred Le Noir came out and shot at 100, break¬ 
ing 85—very good shooting, as the wind was blowing a 
gale. 
As soon as the game season is over we expect to 
start shooting for trophies and other prizes, and ex¬ 
pect to arrange some team matches. 
We are out with a challenge to any club to shoot a 
team race, so name your conditions. We also hope to 
land the G. A. H.. as we have the best place in the 
United States to hold it—the best facilities of all kinds- - 
the hay will be cut this time, boys; that was the 011 'y 
kick the other time, so please pull for tis.
