Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, April 1.—The fairly pleasant weather of to¬ 
day induced thirteen shooters to come out to the park 
to try their skill at the traps. 
At times the stiff wind bobbed the targets around so 
that they were hard to connect with, but at that, quite 
a number of good scores were made, especially the ones 
made by MacLachlan and Shrigley on doubles, the 
former only losing four targets out of the 20 pairs of 
the club program, and then broke all of five more pairs, 
which gives him a total of 46 out of 50 doubles. 
Shrigley also did fine work on the doubles by break¬ 
ing 32 out of the 20 pairs, this being the best , he has 
ever done on doubles. 
First honors in event No. 1 were carried off by Barto 
with a score of 44 out of 50, MacLachlan being a close 
second with 43. 
Fosetti and Cramer each landed one frame of 25 
straight, Cramer also getting two 23s and one 21. 
Sharp made one 23, one 22 and two 21s on singles 
and finished up by breaking 20 out of 12 pairs. 
H. R. Cramer, of Nelson, B. C., tarried long enough 
in Chicago to have another afternoon's sport with us. 
J. E. W heaton, of Newark, N. J., came _ out to our 
park to-day, this being his first time in Chicago, and 
having read and heard of our grounds, he made it his 
business to come out and see us, and although he has 
not shot at targets for years, his scores show up well 
at that, considering that he shot with a strange gun. 
Forsetti had a brand new “pump” which he had just 
received and was anxious to try out, and when he 
landed that score of 25 straight, he thought it was just 
about right. 
Dickerman. Folkner and Howell are new at trap¬ 
shooting, although they have done quite a lot of fte.d 
shooting. 
Hartman had never fired a shot until a few weeks ago 
when he shot at 25, and his last two scores of to-day 
gave him considerable encouragement.

April 2.—Apparently the weather man did his level 
best to scare out the trapshooters to-day, for early this 
morning it started to snow, and long before noon a 
heavy snowstorm was in full blast and the wind blowing 
a gale, but, nevertheless, six shooters braved the ele¬ 
ments and were not to be bluffed out of their favorite 
pastime. 
A reporter on one of the newspapers remarked that it 
seems nothing less than an earthquake will keep them 
all away, and it certainly looks that way. 
In event No. 1, Silver walked off with first honors with 
the excellent score of 45 out of 50, Eck taking second 
place with 42 from 19yds., while Hlavka, Sharp, Kam- 
nurer and Seelig finished in the order named. 
Eck took first in event No. 2 at the doubles with a 
score of 24 out of the 20 pairs, Sharp landing second 
place with 20, Kammerer getting 19 and Seelig broke IS. 
First place in event No. 3 went to Sharp with 22 out 
of 25, Silver giving him a close race by scoring 21. 
Event No. 4 brought out the best score of the after¬ 
noon. Hlavka smashing 24 out of the 25, his nearest 
competitor getting 1 $. , 
The last event, at 25 singles, went to Sharp with 21 
breaks, with Hlvaka only one behind, scoring 20.

Trap Season on (he Pacific Coast. 
San Francisco, Cal., March 22.—At the Golden Gate 
Gun Club's annual meeting last evening, at which a 
large majority of the members were present, an active 
campaign for the blue-rock - sportsmen was outlined for 
this season. , . , 
Since the closing of the famous Inglestde trap grounds, 
one of the best on the Coast in its time, the local 
smokeless-powder-burners have been without a suitable 
club trapshooting ground. This drawback has been sur¬ 
mounted bv the opportunity to secure a favorably located 
shooting ground on the Alameda side of the bay. The 
new grounds are situated on the marsh section, within 
160 yards of the junction of Webster street and the line 
of the proposed boulevard, a point which can be reached 
within thirty-five minutes from the Ferry building, this 
in itself being most convenient not only for the local 
shooters, but for Oakland and Alameda sportsmen as 
well 
1 he work of installing sets of traps and erecting a 
club house, fencing, etc., will be started this week. The 
regular club shooting days will be the third Sunday of 
each month, beginning April 16. The other open Sun¬ 
days will be available for other gun club shoots. It is 
proposed to have the grounds open for practice shooting 
at any time desired. 
The club program for this season will be a 25-target 
shoot in the forenoon and a 15-target race—grub shoot- 
in the afternoon. The club match will be based on the 
“Dupont trophy handicap system,” a target handicap 
allowance designed to place the novice or ordinary 
shooter on an even basis with the expert shot. This 
shedule has been found superior to the class shooting 
method. 
A gold medal and three trophies wlil be awarded the 
four high guns for this season, the winners of which 
will not be determined, owing to the handicap adopted, 
until the last event for the club season has been shot. 
Added money purses and pool shooting have been 
eliminated from the club’s program. This will be a'n 
encouragement for the less skillful shooters by reducing 
the expense and cutting out entrance fees. The club 
membership is over 50 at present, and it is anticipated 
this number will be doubled by reason of the new de¬ 
parture on liberal lines for the benefit of the amateur 
shooter. 
The officers elected for the ensuing year were: Tony 
Prior, President; Clarence Lancaster, Vice-President; 
Edgar Forester, Secretary-Treasurer; Will Lancas'er, 
John T. Connelly and W. H. Price, Directors. New 
members elected were: Clarence H. Lancaster, \\. J. 
Lancaster, Hugh E. Poston, Joseph S. French, Lou 
Hawxhurst, J. G. Heath, W. W. Terrill and J. T. Con¬ 
nelly. 
The recent organization in the city of the Exposition 
City Gun Club by E. IToelle and other local sportsmen 
is an other indication of the newly aroused interest in 
the sport. It is proposed to install several sets of blue 
rock traps in an eligible site in the Presidio, where a 
series of regular club shoots will be held. 
The Empire Gun Club will shoot this season, it is 
reported, on the Alameda Junction grounds as usual in 
past years, the second Sunday of the month being the 
club "day for smashing clay pigeons. 
The Pacific Coast handicap of the Interstate Associa¬ 
tion, the big annual coast tournament, will probably be 
held at Madera this year under the auspices of the 
Madera Rod and Gun Club. 
Lehigh Rod and Gun Club. 
Bethlehem, Pa., April S.—Five professionals and 
twenty-three amateurs participated in a reg sti-red shoot 
of the Lehigh Rod and Gun Club to-day. There were 
ten events of 15 targets each, some 4000 targets being 
used. In thy professional shoot IT. S. \\ elles of New 
York, was high gun. In the amateur class Englert, of 
Catasauqua, had the highest score, with Fred Coleman, 
of Pottsville, 5 points behind.
