Chicago, Til., April 8. —Although it was cloudy and 
dark, several times threatening rain, and a cold, raw 
wind blowing, eleven shooters faced the traps and en¬ 
joyed the afternoon. Stannard was shooting in hne 
form, for he smashed 48 out of 50 from the 20yd. mark 
under difficult conditions, and then made the same 
score from 16yds., going through the last frame of 25 
without a miss. Kilpatrick also did fine work by break¬ 
ing 40 out of 50. Dr. Little took third place with a 
score of 41, while Shrigley broke 36 from the 18yd. mark. 
The Roberts brothers came out in full force, and al¬ 
though they had not been here for two years, they had 
so much pleasure out of it this afternoon, that they 
expect to come quite often in the future. \V. E. Rob¬ 
erts did his first shooting at the traps to-day, as did 
Mr. H. C. Neff, a friend cf the Roberts. Mr. Neff was 
here on a visit from Sharon, Pa. 
I)r. Little, Mrs. Little and Roy Heit (who is a brother 
of Mrs. Little) had started out in the Doctor’s machine 
for some snipe shooting, but finding the roads so bad 
they came back here, where they can always find the 
traps and targets ready for business. Roy is an adepv 
when it comes to bringing down ducks, and he was just 
getting a line on the targets, so that he can make th* 
Doctor hustle some the next time they come over to the 
park.

April 9.—The pleasant weather induced twenty-six 
shooters to come out to the pary and try their skill at 
the traps. W hile they do not average very high, quite 
a number of good scores were made. 
J. K. Sharp, one of our new members, carried off the 
honors in event No. 1 by breaking 46 out of the 50, and 
tied with two others for first place in event 2 on doubles, 
also landing second place in a practice event and tying 
for third place in another event. 
Stannard took second place in event No. 1, with a 
score of 43 from the 20yd. mark, Thomas breaking 42 
from 19vds., Taggart making the same score from 18yds., 
while Ammann tied them with the same score from 
16yds. 
Mott, Sharp and Taggart tied for first place in event 
No. 2. at 20 pairs of doubles, each breaking 29. Shrigley 
landed second place with a score of 2S, while Eck broke 
27 from 17 yds., Mathews making the same score from 
16yds. 
In the practice event at 25 singles, Mathews took the 
lead with 24 breaks. Sharp coming in for second with 
23, while Roll, Ammann and Graham tied for third 
place with scores of 22. 
Thwaite showed the way in the next frame by break¬ 
ing 24 out of the 25, Ammann and Mathews each break¬ 
ing 23, while Fenstermaker, Sharp and Adams cacn 
scored 22. 
In a 25 bird race at 20vds., Mathews scored a win 
with 22, Thomas and Stannard each breaking 21, Roll 
taking third place with 20. 
All hands were glad to welcome Ed. Graham, and it 
was quite a pleasure to his many friends to see him on 
the firing line once more after his long siege of 
sickness. 
Roll had not been out since last fall, but expects to 
get here more regularly. He reports the best duck 
shooting last week that, he has had for years. 
Harry Dare and the Porter brothers came over from 
Blue Island, and we look for them quite often from 
now- on, as they thoroughly enjoyed the sport. , 
\V. G. Lewis came out in his machine, and although he 
had not done any shooting for over a year, his score ot 
43 out of the last 50 shot at, shows that it would not 
take much practice to put him among the top-notchers.

Invitations have been issued to gun clubs for the 
second annual interstate five-man team championship and 
interstate individual championship at targets, on the 
grounds of the Chicago Gun Club, 123d street and Michi¬ 
gan avenue, on Sunday, May 7, 1911. The card of in¬ 
vitation reads: 
“This contest is open to any team of five men from 
any gun club in the United States, all shooters to be 
bona fide members of the club they shoot with. Entries 
must he sent to Mr. E. P>. Shogren, Secretary, 840 First 
National Bank Building, Chicago, so as to reach him not 
later than Saturday, May 6. Each man will shoot from 
16yds. rise, ICO targets each, 500 for the team, 20 targets 
each time up. Five sets of Ideal Leggett traps will be 
ready for use if necessary. The contest will begin at 
1 P. M. sharp. The entrance is $1 per team, ana each 
contestant pays 2 cents each for targets. A club may enter 
as many teams as they choose. A beautiful silver trophy 
cup will be given to each member of the winning team. 
The individual securing the highest score will be given a 
beautiful silver trophy cup. An optional sweepstake of 
$2 for each 20 targets, $10 total, will be part of this event. 
Money divided 40, 30, 20, 10 per cent., class shooting. A 
club that cannot make up a team may take part as indi¬ 
viduals for the individual championship, which is shot 
for in the same event as the team championship. The 
grounds will be open all morning for practice events, a 
good lunch will be served on the grounds at reasonable 
prices. Full information regarding trains to grounds, 
etc., w'ill be given if you will inform us what road you 
will come in on, at what time you expect to reach 
Chicago. The Chicago Gun Club may have tw r o or more 
teams entered. \\ e wish to assure you that no team will 
have to exceed three 90 per cent, shooters.” 
Hyde Park Gun Club. 
The weekly shoot on April 15 was fairly well attended, 
nine shooters taking part. The weather was fine, after 
several days of rain, but the wind was blowing half a 
gale, and the way the targets climbed skyward proved 
too much for the marksmen, not one of whom shot 
nearly up to his average. Holaday succeeded in break¬ 
ing but 77, and he’s reckoned a 90 per cent, or better 
shooter under anything like ordinary conditions. 
Jenkins came over late, and shot in one event, with a 
borrowed gun, this handicap, in addition to the wind, 
helped him to miss more than usual. Donnell, of 
Felicity, Ohio, was the only man who missed less than 
four targets in any one of "the events, and he could not 
keep it up; he finished two targets behind Holaday. 
Welch felt rather discouraged at his work, until he saw 
that there were others who couldn’t hit them all. Hill, 
of Hillsboro, Ohio, and Ruble, of the same town, fell 
down with the others. The former was trying^ a new 
gun, and had his troubles with it, so he could not keep 
his mind on the targets. Smith got into all the events, 
and enjoyed the novelty, as he generally has so many 
other things to attend to that he gets to shoot very 
little. Frohliger has a habit of scoring his misses on 
the easy targets, and making good on the extra hard 
ones. To-day he made a number of especially fine 
breaks on climbing right and left quarterers. It was 
certainly good to see Dr. Phillips on the firing hne 
again, and we hope lie will join the regulars once mere. 
Between events he was practicing on the revolver range 
with Schaefer, when Sampson gets settled into his gait 
he is going to make the good ones travel to keep up. 
He used to drill with the leaders in the old St. Bernard 
days, and he’s going to be reckoned with again. 
The club officials are planning a series of shoots this 
season, on a plan that will attract the amateur who is 
not a 90 per cent man, and every effort will be made 
to have them well attended. A money-back shoot is 
among the possibilities. Several of the members will 
attend the big Hillsboro, Ohio, shoot on the 20th, and 
they have also selected their prizes at the Harrison (O.) 
merchandise shoot on the 21st.
