Cincinnati Gun Club. 
The opening live-bird sboot at tbe new grounds at 
Rosedale, Ky., was given on Dec. 8 . The day was the 
first sample of real winter weather which we have had 
in this locality, with the mercury below freezing, and a 
sharp wind to make the temperature still more frigid. 
However, a clear sky and bright sun helped to make 
it endurable for the shooters, and a good gallery of 
spectators could watch the sport comfortably from the 
club house windows. 
Arthur Gambell is once more in the harness as super¬ 
intendent, and as a natural consequence, everything 
worked smoothly. Only one serious hitch occurred^ and 
that was due to trains being late, and birds not arriving 
on time. At noon the supply of birds gave out with 
eleven rounds shot in the second event, and it was 2:30 
before the new lot reached the grounds. 
It was Cambell's generalship in marshalling tbe shoot¬ 
ers and keeping them moving that enabled the finishing 
of the programme. There was a fair attendance of 
shooters, but not quite such a gathering as used to be 
seen in the old days at a Cincinnati Club shoot. Some 
of the crackerjacks from other places were on hand to 
try for the money and trophy, among them being Ed. 
Voris, of Crawfordsville, Ind.; W. Webster and W. R. 
Chamberlin, of Columbus, O.: Frank Alkire, of Williams¬ 
port, O.; Rolla and Horace Heikes, of Dayton, O., and 
Mr. Stemmer, of Chicago. 
The duties of the referee were acceptably performed 
by Arthur Gambell and Len Shepard. The majority of 
the birds were regular screamers, and all were strong, 
fast fliers. A few had to be started with balls, after the 
traps were pulled, but some of these proved to be puz- 
lers when once on the wing: 
Alkire, Chamberlin and Hammersmith tied on 38 out 
of 40 for the entire programme; Schneck second with 35, 
and Webster third with 34. 
The trophy, a handsome silver loving cup, for high 
total score in the second and third events, was won 
by Frank Alkire with 34 out of 35. Hammersmith and 
Chamberlin were second with 33 each. 
The programme consisted of one event at 5 birds, miss- 
and-out, $3 entrance; one at 20 birds, $15 entrance, 
divided three high guns: one at 15 birds, $10 entrance, 
divided 50, 30, 20 per cent., class shooting. Birds in¬ 
cluded in all entrance fees. The handicaps were from 
27 to 32vds. Shooting began at 9:30 and was finished 
about 4:30, the time including a two hours’ wait for birds. 
The second event was the first of a series for a club 
trophv, to be shot for on the second Wednesday in each 
month until June 1, 1910. The sweeps in this event are 
open to all. but only members are eligible to compete 
for the troDhy, and may do so bv shooting for birds 
only. A pleasant feature of the shoot was the _ dinner 
served bv Mrs. Gambell at noon. Shooters in this 
vicinity know the kind of fare which is placed before 
them when Mrs. Gambell has charge of the culinary 
arrangements, and this was no exception to the standard 
she set at the old St. Bernard grounds. A few kicks 
were registered, but they were reallv conjpliments to the 
cook, some of the shooters saying that they ate so much 
they couldn’t shoot—a complaint not often heard at club 
shoots. The club house is practically complete, and is 
a very pretlv building in an architectural wav. and quite 
convenient in its appointments. On the ground floor 
is a large assembly room, with open grate and hand¬ 
some mantel, used also as a dining room. Off this is 
the gun and locker room, with tables for the use of 
shooters in assembling their guns, and off this is tbe 
lavatory and toilets. In the southeast corner is the 
kitchen, a good sized room, completely furnished with 
range, table, etc., a large pantry with sink and china 
closet, and another large closet for kitchen ware. On 
the second floor are located the superintendent’s quar¬ 
ters, conveniently arranged and entirely separate from 
the rest of the house. This insures privacy for the 
superintendent’s family, a very desirable feature, and 
one that was entirely lacking in the old house at St. 
Bernard. A wide, covered veranda has been built 
around two sides of the house, from which an unob¬ 
structed view of both live-bird and target traps can be 
bad. All that remains to be done is the clearing up of 
the grounds and building a dam across the ravine to 
form an artificial pond, which will be stocked with fish. 
The dam will be used as a roadway into the grounds, 
giving more direct access, and being nearer than the 
present roundabout way. 
In the second event, at 25 birds,_ Alkire went straight, 
Hammersmith and Chamberlin killing 19 each, the three 
dividing the purse. Alkire made a run of 30 straight. 
Hammersmith and Webster killed 20 straight in the 
first and second events. The scores:

Brooklyn, L. I., Dec. ll.-*-A strong wind blowing 
from the northwest was a factor in the difficulties of scor¬ 
ing. The leg on the December cup was won by J. P. 
Fairchild, and also the leg on the State trophy and a 
25-target trophy contest. G. Brower and Fairchild were 
high with 47 in the team shoot.

Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., Dec. 11.—Not much doing at the traps 
this week owing to the bad weather. Four of the regu¬ 
lars, with L. J. Squier, were out Saturday afternoon and 
shot 100 each. . 
We take our hats off to Chicago, in securing the G. 
A. H. They sure had the pull. We wish Chicago the 
best of success. 
Starting with the new year, we will have a nice trophy 
and some nice prizes to be shot for by our members. 
Tan. 5 is the date of our first monthly shoot. Everybody 
invited. Some time in February we will hold our mid¬ 
winter shoot, running two days, with some nice average 
money on the side. Nobody barred. All welcome.
