Atlantic City, N. J.—Harry Kahler,, of Philadelphia 
winner of the National Amateur Championship, was the 
one to head the list at the fourth annual Easter Monday 
tournament on April 17. He started off slowly, but 
wound up strong with the last three events straight and 
with the fine score of 141 out of 150. Kahler also won 
the merchandise event, 47 out of 50, a tie with Tomlin 
but in the shoot-off Kahler ran 19 out of 20, to Tomlin’s 
1— j an }l Timeline, of the South End squad, finished 
second; Tomlin, of Glassboro third, and Stewart, of 
Salem, won fourth honors. Of the local boys Powers 
topped the list with 133 breaks, with Smith and West 
cott trailing closely. 
Apgar was high professional with 13S, and Fred Shat- 
tuck was second with 133. Lloyd Lewis was also with us 
and ra-n the books right up to the limit, and had the 
coin ready for the boys on the moment, and we wish to 
extend our thanks. 
The .Squier money-back system worked perfectly, and 
there was a surplus of over $50 for the six high guns, 
and that is what makes the boys happy. 
In the merchandise event, we haa eighteen beautiful 
prizes ranging from $10 to $3.50 in value each. 
(ilad to have our Salem, N. J. friends with us; we 
have not forgotten that royal game supper they gave us 
December last; they are a royally good bunch. 
Camden came down strong, but we expected a little 
better support from Philadelphia. 
Our next tournament will be held in August, when 
the Worlds Amateur Championship Cup, won by New¬ 
comb at the New Jersey State shoot here June last, will 
again be contested. T he winner will take away a nice 
purse, and the cup for a year. This will be a big shoot, 
and you want to be on the job and take it away Irom 
Newcomb, if you can.

Cincinnati Gun Club. 
attendance at the club shoot on April 23 was very 
good, showing the results of the hustling which Emil 
Hammersmith has been doing for the past few weeks. 
I he weather was fine, the only drawback being a rather 
brisk breeze, which had a bad effect on the flight of the 
targets, and kept some of the scores below the usual 
mark. Squier led the bunch, as he has a trick of doing 
every ence in a while, breaking 90 out of 100, a feat 
tully equal to 95 under normal conditions. His nearest 
competitors were Sampson and Hammersmith, each of 
whom accounted for 80. 
"The firs4 of the club’s series of trophy events was 
shot to-day and resulted in a tie on 49, including handi¬ 
caps, oetween Sampson and Heilman. Only one shoot- 
off was required to settle the question, Sampson getting 
a perfect score of 25 with his handicap, to Heilman’s 
Ji' squier made high score in actual breaks with 45 
Hammersmith was next with 43, and Trimble followed 
him closely with 42. Hammersmith has taken charge 
of the grounds of the club, and is working hard to 
make the weekly shoots successful. He needs the sup- 
port of the club members, and also the good will of all 
the shooters in the vicinity.
