Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, Feb. 22. —The weather was cloudy and dark, 
with plenty of wind to keep the shooters guessing where 
to hold. A team shoot was scheduled, composed of all 
the shooters on the grounds; 100 targets per man, and 
the losing team to pay the targets for all. MacLachlan 
and Barto were named as captains. MacLachlan’s team 
led all the way, and finished up with 42 targets to the 
good. Fetherston led the field by scoring 93,, Jay 
Graham being second high gun with 88; he was trying 
out a new gun, which probably affected his usually high 
scores. Barto and Taggart each landed a score of 86, 
while A. Marshall returned a score of 82, which is fine 
for the first time he ever shot on our grounds. Mac¬ 
Lachlan was next in line with 84. 
Marshall, Popp and Stuart were visiting shooters from 
the Clearing Gun Club, and they say they will be 
with us quite often in the future. Oscar Nahser brought 
along his friend J. G. Ostrander, to try his hand at 
target shooting, and although he has shot game he 
never had tried targets, consequently he was well 
pleased with his score of 60 out of 100. Mr. F. Nahser, 
of Grand Rapids, Mich, also tried his hand at targets 
for the first time, doing quite well; but the boys who 
have been out game shooting with him will vouch for 
it that very few birds get away from him once he draws 
a bead on them and lets drive. Keller manages to drop 
in every once in a while, and we would be pleased to 
see him oftener. Scores of the team shoot:

Feb. 25.—Although the afternoon was bright and clear, 
it was the same old story with the wind man—a gale 
blowing from the southwest, which at times threatened 
to blow the shooters olf the firing line, and quite did 
tilt them off their balance when about ready to fire at 
the elusive spheres. 
Stannard topped the list in event No. 1, with 45 out of 
50, while Sharp was second with 43. 
Sharp walked away with first honors in event No. 2, 
at the doubles, with Shrigley taking second place. 
First place in event No. 3 went to Stannard, he break¬ 
ing his 25 straight—and he certainly broke some tar¬ 
gets that tried hard to get away. Ammann came in for 
second with 22 in this event, while Sharp broke 21. 
Sharp led the bunch in event No. 4 with a score of 
24, this being his second 24 of the afternoon. Stannard 
and Tom Marshall divided second honors with 22. 
We are pleased to announce that Mr. J. R. Sharp is 
the latest addition to our membership, and his good 
work to-day landed him high amateur tor the day. 
‘Lawson, Skidmore and Rowen have not shot at targets 
for many years, while Rice had never fired a gun belore 
to-day, and was surprised himself when he scored 8.

Feb. 26.—We had a cloudy and dark afternoon, and 
quite a number of our members attending the Long 
Lake tournament, the number of shooters to face our 
traps to-day was somewhat smaller than usual for Sunday.

scores were made, and the average was better than for 
the past few weeks. 
In the handicap event, Amman heads the list with a 
score of 49 out ot 50 from 16yds., while Flewelling heads 
the amateurs with 46 from 20yds, Koester making a 
similar score from 16yds. Gracely in for third place 
with a score of 45, he making the same score in the 
second 50 he shot at. Cutler landed 42 trom the 19yd. 
mark, while Shrigley made the same score from 18yds. 
Stannard pulled down 43 from 16yds., and Gerhardt 
made a 42 from 16yds. 
Seelig took first honors in event No. 2 at the doubles, 
making a score of 26, Shrigley taking second place with 
21, Crocker being next in line with 20, while Mott 
broke 19. 
Cutler showed his mettle by winning first place in 
events Nos. 3 and 4, landing a 25 straight in each event.

welling, Gracely, Stannard and Koester each broke 23.

The Winning Combination 
FRED GILBERT 
WINCHESTER “LEADERS” 
A 'Reliable Man And 'Reliable Shells 
Reliability will usually tell. 
H ere was old reliable Fred 
Gilbert shooting in the Great 
Western Handicap at Live 
Birds with reliable Win¬ 
chester “Leader” Shells. He 
killed the 25 straight, from the 
33 yard mark, tying two other 
shooters. Then, shooting off 
the tie, he killed five more 
straight, running ahead of his 
competitors. Reliable shells 
help to make a reliable shoot¬ 
er. Winchester shells have won every World’s live 
bird and inanimate target championship and have 
been the year’s high average winners for years. 
FRED GILBERT 
Remember This And Shoot 
WINCHESTER SHELLS 
third event, so he thought a handicap might help some, 
and sure enough he turned the trick with 21 from 
20yds. Flewelling did fine work to-day, starting in with 
19 straight with some old shells he had; then he made 46 
out of 50 from 20yds., and 47 out of his last 50—that’s 
going some after his long siege with rheumatism, which 
he is trying hard to work out of his system. He leaves 
to-morrow for a week among the ducks, and is antici¬ 
pating some fine sport. Seelig, Crocker, Cutler and 
Spangler are others who cannot resist the call of the 
ducks longer, and will be. among them this week.
