Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
There was not much of an attendance at the weekly 
shoot on April 2, owing to bad weather in the afternoon. 
The sky was obscured by heavy clouds, making it very 
dark, and in the latter part of the afternoon there was 
a light mist which still further increased the difficulty 
of seeing the targets. Scores suffered in consequence, 
and none of the shooters reached the 90 per cent. mark. 
Ralph Trimble led the bunch of twelve enthusiasts who 
faced the traps, with a score of 83, a most unusual hole 
for him to drop into, and he was the only one to go 
straight in any of the events. Sampson came next with 
75, which is below his average by a number of targets. 
The conditions may be surmised by the score put up 
by Holaday, Jr., who to-day established a record such 
as he has not made since his start in the shooting game. 
McArdle was shooting a new gun, and it is evidently 
just about what he needs, for he put up a better score 
than he has made in a long time. He was obliged to 
quit because of the poor light. Luverne shot an even 
pace, though it was a low one for him, getting the same 
number of targets in each event. Dramer’s gun went 
back on him in the third event and he was obliged to 
quit just as he was beginning to get the hang of the 
targets. Schreck was not in good shape, and the com¬ 
bination of poor weather cut his scores way below his 
mark. Holaday, Sr., can’t make a pump gun do the 
execution that he does with a double, and fell down 
accordingly. Williams used to be one of the regulars 
and more than an ordinary, shot, but he has not been 
over for a long time, and his score shows that he needs 
practice. Irwin was handicapped by the weather and 
did not shoot his usual pace by many targets. The 
third of the series of weekly trophy shoots resulted in 
a tie between McFee and McArdle on perfect scores of 
50, including their handicaps. They were tied for high 
scores of actual breaks on 42 each, and, as McArdle 
was obliged to leave, the tie will be shot off at a 
future meet. Sampson was second high with 41, and 
Trimble came next with 40. The trophy is donated by 
the club, and professonials are permitted to oempete 
for it. There is no entrance fee. The series of monthly 
tournaments, given under the Squier money back system 
will be started early next month, and promise to be 
more successful than last year. The Kentucky State 
target shoot will be held on these grounds on May 24 
and 25, and will, undoubtedly draw a big crowd, com- 
jngf so near the date of the Ohio State shoot and the

Dr. I. P. Gould is mourning the loss of his pointer 
dog, Goober, the official retriever for the club’s live-bird 
shoots. He has been missing for several days, and the 
doctor is inconsolable.

The Winchester Rod and Gun Club Rifle Team, shooting Win¬ 
chester .22 Caliber Long Rifle Cartridges and Winchester Single 
Shot Muskets, won fourteen straight matches in the recent tourna¬ 
ment of the Civilian .22 Caliber Inter-Club League. The average 
of the Winchester Rod and Gun Club five men team for the entire 
series of fourteen matches was 984^, the highest possible score 
being one thousand. This wonderful average would be equal for 
100 shots to 
2484 h By the German Ring Count. 
G. W. Chesley had an average of 197 yi for thirteen matches; Capt. 
A. L. Laudensack, 196for fourteen matches, and Capt. W. H. 
Richard, 198 9 for nine matches. Capt. Richard’s average for 100 
shots would be equal to 
24931 By the German Ring Count. 
These scores are phenomenal and without a parallel. They tell a 
convincing story of the wonderful degree of perfection attained in 
the manufacture of Winchester Cartridges and Rifles.

Audubon Gun Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., April 2.—The shooting by members 
of the Audubon Gun Club yesterday afternoon was quite 
good and ties were very common in all classes and 
events. For instance, Hopper, of Westfield, and Wright, 
the New York State champion, tied for A class with 20 
each, and in the next event again tied with 17 each, and 
once again with 16, Hopper finally winning by break¬ 
ing 17 to Wright’s 16. 
For the Reed handicap trophy, Hopper was again tied 
by Covert and Ralph Sidway, each breaking 17. from 
the 20yds. mark, and in the shoot-off which followed. 
Covert won by one bird. Reinecke won B class by 
breaking 17 and Charles Rogers, of Lockport won C 
Jack Talcott and Dr. Wootton tied in events Nos. 3 
and 4, and they decided who the contender of the chal¬ 
lenge cup would be by shooting off their tie, miss-and- 
out, Talcott finally winning. 
George Fish, of Lyndonville, the present holder of 
the cup, was not up to his usual shooting form and in 
his first string of 25 broke 22 to Talcott’s 21. in the 
next 25, Talcott just reversed the scores making the 
result a tie, each having broken 43 out of their 50. In 
the next 25, Fish got down to real business and broke 
23 to Talcott’s 21, thereby gaining another win, making 
three in all. It looks as if the boys will have to call 
on some of the old reliable shooters like Frank D. Kelsey 
and Harry D. Kirkover in order to keep that cup from 
going to Lyndonville. Scores:
