509 
Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
Tun first of the weekly trophy matches of the club 
was shot on March 19, and drew a good crowd, fifteen 
men taking their places on the firing line. The weather 
conditions were hard, the day was pleasant, but a strong 
wind forced the targets to soar or duck in a most puz¬ 
zling manner, and most of the shooters fell below their 
average. The match was at 50 targets, shot in two 
strings of 15 and two of 10 targets each, with a handicap 
of added targets. This handicap is never satisfactory, and 
the match to-day proved no exception. The trophy was 
won after two shoot-offs had resulted in the tie re¬ 
maining unbroken, by the toss of a coin. The winner, 
Harrington, is a new man at the traps, having shot but 
six or seven times before to-day. He had 28 actual 
breaks, and his handicap tied him with Dea and Felix 
on perfect scores. The three tied on totals of 15 in the 
first shoot-off. In the second shoot-off, at 10 targets. 
Dea dropped out with two misses. Felix broke 10 
straight, and Harrington broke 9, his handicap tying 
him with Felix. High score in actual breaks was made 
by Felix with 46; Dea was second with 43, and Schreck 
came third with 42. 
Only a few over 50 targets per man were shot at, but 
those present had a whole afternoon of sport at a trifling 
expense. This is as it should be,, and the sooner club 
officials realize that it is against the interests of the 
sport to try and force shooters to go beyond their limit, 
the better it will be for all hands.

The weather on March 26 put a hoodoo on the club 
shoot and kept many away. The attraction which had 
been provided for the entertainment of the shooters was 
the visit of Fred Gilbert and Luther J. Squier, the latter 
known to many shooters as “Money-Back” Squier. In 
the morning the rain fell steadily, and the afternoon was 
made disagreeable by frequent showers. When the rain 
did not fall the air was full of a fine, penetrating mist, 
that made it extremely difficult to see the targets, as 
well as most uncomfortable on the firing line. How¬ 
ever, seventeen enthusiasts hiked to the grounds and 
kept the traps busy until almost dark. Among the out- 
cf-town shooters were Messrs. Donald. Sr., and Jr., and 
Houghton, of Felicity, O.; Francis, Turrell and Kater, 
of Harrison. O., and “Kid” Randall, of Mason, O. The 
second of the weekly trophy contests was won by Hola- 
day, Sr., after one shoot-off, he being lucky enough to 
draw the short straw. In the main event Squier, Ham¬ 
mersmith, Holaday, Sr., Francis, Gould and Payne were 
tied on a perfect score of 50, including their handicaps, 
and in the shoot-off at 25 targets, Squier, Holaday and 
Francis tied again on perfect scores. By this time it 
was getting dark and raining again, so the winner was 
decided by drawing straws, with the result above given. 
Gilbert, scratch man, made high score in actual breaks, 
missing but 2 targets; Hammersmith gave him a close 
race, finishing with 47. Then came Payne with 45; Squier 
and Young broke 44 each. 
In the morning Squier, Gilbert, Young and Holaday, 
Jr., attended the shoot of the new club in the East End 
Cincinnati, and in spite of the rain, there were four full 
squads in attendance. At this shoot a team match was 
started between Gilbert and Holaday, and Squier and 
Young, and was finished at the afternoon shoot at the 
Northern’s grounds. Squier and Young had the best 
of the morning shoot, scoring 88 and 93, a total of 181. to 
Gilbert’s 92 and Holadav’s 94, a total of 176. The after¬ 
noon saw things reversed, Gilbert scoring 94, Holaday 89, 
a total of 183, to Squier*s 83 and Iloladay’s 89, a total 
of 175, and giving the match to the former team by 3 
targets, with total scores of 359 to 356 out of 400 per 
team. The next trophy shoot will be held on April 2, 
and all shooters are invited to take part. There is 'no 
entrance fee. There will be a special shoot on March 30, 
to which all are welcome. The club will be well repre¬ 
sented at merchandise shoot to be given by the 
Harrison Club on April 21. Luther Squier will have 
charge of this shoot, and Fred Gilbert and Charlie Young 
will be among the shooters, and help make things pleas¬ 
ant.

Philadelphia, March 26.—The Philadelphia Yacht

the yachtsmen. 
Yesterday’s event was the final shoot of the season at 
Essington, and decided the winner of the silver cup

Eagle Gun Club. 
Manoa, Pa., March 26.—Billy Severn and Fred Mullet 
divided up the loot in the 10-bird event of the Eagle 
Cun Club match, which was shpt yesterday afternoon at 
Manoa. Each gunner handed in a clean sheet for his 
afternoon’s performance, and both firing from the 30yd. 
mark deserved the cash donated for high gun. Bivens 
and Murphy, with 9 apiece tied for second. 
AUTOMATIC RIFLE 
This rifle reloads itself, the recoil doing 
the work. It is only necessary to pull 
the trigger for each shot, which places 
reloading, as well as firing, under 
control of the trigger finger. Another 
desirable and distinctive feature of this 
rifle is that it shoots inexpensive, rim fire, 
smokeless powder cartridges which are 
clean to handle, being loaded with Win¬ 
chester Greaseless Bullets. This rifle is 
a light-weight, ten-shot, take-down re¬ 
peater, that is easy to load and easy 
to take down and clean. There is 
nothing complicated about it, being 
simple, safe and reliable. Ask your 
dealer to show you one. It’s just
