[Feb. 4 , 1911 . 
Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., Jan. 26.-There was a sure shooting 
match at the Columbus Gun Club Thursday, Jan. 2b. 
Fifty-six shooters were in attendance, and forty-six snot 
in the program of 150 birds. Every one seemed to have 
a good time. E. M. Stout was nigh with 141. J* B. 
Cromley 140, Jones, Heikes and Squier137; Fisher, 
Cooper and Spangler got fourth place with lob. 
Circleville team won the team match by 2 birds, 4-2 to 
421. Columbus goes to Circleville on Feb. 9. then 
there will be another tale to tell, we hope. 
There was a smile on every one s face when they heard 
that the Columbus Gun Club will get the Grand Ameri¬ 
can Handicap, the one shoot of all shoots. The shoot¬ 
ers of Ohio can make up their minds to attend this 
year’s G. A. IE, for it will be close to home. They 
can thank the Columbus Gun Club for getting this grand 
shoot, for they have sacrificed all the profits on targets 
t °The t next shoot of the Columbus Gun Club will be held 
Feb. 22-23, on the money-back system. There was no 
average money for the shoot of Jan. 26, as it failed to 
pay the losses by $125, the only time it has ever failed 
to pay out. The club paid all losses, and will do so at 
the next shoot. The club thanks one and all for their 
attendance and hopes to have you all with us many times 
th The e State shoot will be held on these grounds June 
6 7 8 9 1911. 
’ Eleven’shooters were out to the traps on Saturday 
afternoon, Jan. 28. Most of the regulars got shot out 
at the regular monthly shoot, Jan. 26. Capt. Carson 
won a point on the Dupont trophy; he and Guy Smith 
tied with 43 out of 50; on the shoot-off the Captain won. 
Capt. Bunker was a welcome visitor and shot a few. He 
still knows how. Hope to have you often, Captain. 
Messrs. Holstein, Green and Day were also more than 
welcome. Don’t forget the number. Shepherd is to 
have a new gun club. Success to you. Like to have 
you with us. 
Although the wind was unusually high, the weekly 
shoot of the members of the Dupont ^un Club was 
featured by some exceedingly high scores. Ihe gallery 
was one of the largest yet assembled at the club house, 
and the shooters were all pleased with the workings ot 
^The^ sensation of the day was the display made by 
H. Winchester, who broke 12 pairs straight, this being 
his first attempt at doubles. This score was exceptionally 
good, and Mr. Winchester received the congratulations 
° f I -] 11 S A m Lob b 1 was high man in Class A, having a per¬ 
fect score of 25 straight; in Classes B, C and D, ties 
rpsulted These will be decided on Saturday next. 
The championship trophy, which is valued at $100, will 
be placed on exhibition during the coming week in the 
windows of Darlington & loadvine, No. 831 Market 
S *The scores made on the rifle range were also good, 
considering the wind. .

Long Island Sound Championship. 
Port Washington, L. I., Jan. 28.—Probably conditions 
were never more unfavorable than they were at the L° n S 
Island championship shoot, held to-day. The wind blew 
a gale from the west. This the shooters had to face 
with the consequent erratic flights so disconcerting to 
even the best of shooters. Only two men beat 75, whicn 
did not indicate bad shooting at that. 
The winner was George K. Kouwenhoven, of the 
Bergen Beach Gun Club, of Sheepshead, L. 1., who 
duplicated his performance two years ago. Of course, 
the real skill of the contestants could not be measured 
on account of the adverse weather. 
The competition was held under the auspices ot the 
Manhasset Bay Yacht Club, Port Washington. Out of 
the sixty-one contestants who entered, forty-one com¬ 
peted for the three individual prizes and team trophies. 
Competition was open to clubs of Long Island bound 
and adjacent waters, and also to the Garden City Gun 
Club, Hillside Rod and Gun Club a " d A he . Cr ?| c< > nt 
Athletic Club. The conditions were 100 targets, 16yds. 
fl H L Hovt Tr., took the gold medal for second place, 
scoring a total of 76. Stuart Scott, of the Larchmont 
Yacht Club, came next with 68 . The field strung out all 
the way to some exceedingly small percentages. Ihe

Du Pont Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del., Jan. 28.—Here we are again with 
another shoot that would make an ordinary two-day tour¬ 
nament look like a bob-tailed straight on a show-down, 
and that would please a manager of a State tournament. 
We have had eight regular club shoots since the 
Du Pont Gun Club started, also two Thursday after¬ 
noon shoots, and here we are again with 107 entries. 
Now I call that a real crowd. 
Remember as well, that there were over twenty ^rifle 
and revolver cranks out, all blazing away at the 75yd. 
targets, and as you will note from the scores, they were 
doing some good shooting. 
The club has started something that will be of interest 
to your readers; that is, they have turned over to the 
Police Department of Wilmington, their galleries, and 
the Du Pont Company has tendered the service of Capt. 
Casey and Lieut. Harkins of the Rifle and Smokeless 
Division, to coach them; and what is more, knowing that 
the Police Department is thinking of adopting a new 
revolver as standard, we, the Dupont Gun Club, have 
ordered two revolvers, Colts, and will have them at the 
• disposal of the Department until they adopt the gun 
they are considering. We are awake in Wilmington, and 
it will be a long time before the “sand man” strikes us 
again. _ 
The scores which follow do not show the practice 
and extra events shot off Saturday. We devoted one 
trap to those desiring to get in some extra shooting, 
and with the help of Lloyd Lewis the trap was kept hot. 
Something interesting Saturday—that match between 
A B. Richardson, of Dover, Del., the present State 
champion, and Billy Foord, of Wilmington. If it is 
pleasant, we will have several thousand people out to 
the grounds, as there is a great deal of interest manifest. 
Cincinnati, O., Jan. 28.—On Jan. 28, for the first time 
in several weeks, the club drew a pleasant day tor its 
regular shoot, and the attendance was very good, ihe 
selection of Columbus for the next Grand American 
Handicap is having an effect in reawakening the interest 
of the shooters in this vicinity, and from now on a lot 
of them will get busy, so as to have a fighting chance 
to land the big' plum guaranteed by the Association. 
At to-day’s shoot Welsh, who was quite prominent in 
the game ten years ago, showed that he had not for¬ 
gotten how to point a gun, and that a little practice will 
put him several notches nearer the top than when he 
finished to-day. Irwin was trying out a new gun, and 
shot very consistently, though not quite up to his mark, 
breaking 80.5 per cent. Milt Johnson did nice work 
after a rest of several months. He is surely going after 
the prize next Tune, and he won’t be a 100 to 1 in the 
betting, either. ‘Uncle Tohti Dea improved in each event, 
after making a bad start; 50 more targets would have 
got him warmed up to the work, and put him in his 
right class. Dr. Leighner had time for only two events; 
he fell down in the first, but in the second string he 
found all but one target. De Mar led the bunch and 
was the only one to go straight in any of the events. 
He shot a nice race, accounting for 92 per cent, of hr^ 
targets. His new gun seems to fit him about right. 
Holaday did not do as well as usual, but claimed he
