Not for many months have there been so many shoot¬ 
ers as attended the weekly shoot on April 9. Over thirty 
shooters faced the traps, and a big crowd of spectators 
watched the work of the experts with much interest. 
The day was about perfect for outdoor sport, but a stiff 
wind blowing toward the shooters made the targets do un¬ 
expected stunts, and kept some of the boys guessing, as 
may be seen by several of the scores. Only two of the 
shooters succeeded in breaking all in any of the events. 
Young doing the trick in two events, and scoring’ a run 
of 67 straight, and Hammersmith getting them all in 
his last time up. The Harrison Gun Club was well rep¬ 
resented by Messrs. Francis, Kater, Turrell and Hahn, 
the latter putting up the good score of 90 out of 100. 
1 he two Donalds, Dr. Spiedel, Houghton, Hayden, and 
Longworth, all of Felicity, O., had no cause to feel 
ashamed of the showing they made on strange grounds 
in the high wind, T. E. Donald going a 94 per cent, 
gait in the last 60. Charlie Young was high man for 
the afternoon, breaking 96 out of the last 100, and 118 
out of 125. He and Gilbert had a close race for first 
place, the latter being in the lead at the finish of the 
first 50, and coming out only 2 targets behind. R. 
Trimble started out well, getting 94 per cent, in the first 
50, but after that the wind seemed to get the best of 
it, and he finished in a tie on 87, with Donald and 
Payne. Heilman did better work to-day than when he 
was over last, but was a little short of average. Francis 
could not keep up the gait he struck in the first event, 
when he missed but one target, but he finished with 8.3, 
not at all bad in the wind. Sampson is getting back his 
old skill again, and it will only take a little more prac¬ 
tice to put him in his right place with the leaders. The 
shooting was kept up until nearly dark, the last event 
being at 12 pairs of doubles, the targets being thrown by 
hand from back of the shooters. Young broke 24, Hola- 
day 20, and Payne broke 7 out of 6 pairs.

Meadow Springs Gun Club. 
Philadelphia, Pa., April 9.— Cantrell and Pierce in 
Class A, and Keenan in Class B, were the three point- 
winners in yesterday’s monthly point shoot of the 
Meadow Springs Gun Club, which was shot at Fifty- 
seventh and Lancaster avenue. Two over a score of 
gunners participated in the event of the day, and most 
of them finished with good scores. The rise was 16yds., 
with a dead bird added handicap. Although Pierce tied 
with Cantrell for the three points in Class A, with the 
highest possible score under the ruling', 25 birds, the 
latter made the best score on the grounds by running his 
25 straight. Pierce broke 24, and tied Cantrell when his 
handicap of 3 was added to his total. Beyer with 24 
was awarded 2 points in Class A for second high, while 
Hogan and Hillpot with one point finished up the A 
prize winners. Keenan broke 20 of his 25 birds, and with 
an allowance of 5 added birds, led in Class B. Kirsch, 
with 22, secured 2 points, and Gothard, with 17, 1 point.

Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., April 8.—Weather was too bad April 1 
for the shooters to show up, hence no report. 
April 8 was very little better, but eleven braved it and 
shot a few. H. E. Smith did the best with 44 out of 50. 
Chas. Ward, of Asheville was a welcome visitor; he was 
trying a new gun, so he did not connect with very many. 
No 25 straight was made. Any amateur that can break 
25 straight gets his targets for nothing. The program for 
April 20 calls for 150 targets, entrance $5, divided 40, 30, 
20 and 10; distance handicaps, 16 to 20yds. So the poor 
shot stands some show of winning. Professionals shoot 
from 20yds. Everybody invited.

The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass.,. April 5.—The Palefaces held their 
first shoot for the month of April right in style with 
Jupiter Pluvius on the job from start to finish and no 
let-up. 
Naturally it dampened the ardor of even a regular, and 
no wonder that only five shooters were present to take 
part in the festivities. However, the small attendance did 
not prevent a dandy contest for high average, and it was 
not till the last event that the winner could be picked 
with a certainty. Walter Clarke was the final honor win¬ 
ner, and surely no one deserved it any more than he did, 
as his run of 47 in the first three events was one of 
those creditable to professional or amateur alike. From 
that on Walter hardly did quite the consistent work, but 
kept right up with the hand wagon and saved the day 
for Single Sticker. Frank and Kirkwood were second 
in line, just a target ahead of Osborne, who made the 
best of a finish after a half bad start. Pat, however, is 
used to these things, and when called upon to produce 
the goods or pay by Clarke, proceeded to bring home 
the bacon. 
Frank with a clean score nosed out Osborne on the 
added target race, who in turn had a comfortable lead 
on his nearest competitor.
