Columbus, O., March 7. —Twenty-seven shooters at¬ 
tended the Saturday shoot at the Columbus traps. Vis¬ 
itors from out of the city were Mr. R. O. Heikes and 
Mr. Horace Heikes, Dayton, O.; Mr. L. J. Squier, Wil¬ 
mington, Del.; John R. Taylor, Newark, O.; Mr. C. 
Shell, Thornville, O., and Mr. Goeller, of Circleville, O. 
The shooting conditions were fair, the weather being 
cloudy, with some wind. R. O. Heikes made two 
straights, one 25 and one 20. John Taylor did the same. 
Fred Le Noir shot a fine gait, but got no straights. 
Ben F. Bolin did the fine work by breaking 24 out of 
25 in the Secretary trophy race, use of both barrels. 
Mr. Chamberlain was high in the doubles with 16 out 
of 10 pair, with his Winchester.

Pop Heikes, of the U. M. C. Company, was very much 
in evidence on the firing line, with his new repeater, and 
the fact that it was just out of the factory and had never 
been shot proves that Pop can give a good account of 
a new gun as well as an old gun. A 25 and a 20 straight 
was a nice clip. 
John Taylor was at home Saturday, but not in the af¬ 
ternoon, as the pair of straights on the score sheet will 
show. John says that Columbus is on the end of the 
line, and no trouble to get here from any old place. 
Newark, O., loses a good member of their gun club in 
Johnny coming to Columbus to live. Guess Fred King 
will have to take his place. 
Fred Le Noir shot a mighty race all the way along, 
until he came to- the Secretary trophy race, and he 
couldn’t get the triggers working right. Miss Hazel 
Le Noir is visiting in Indianapolis. Mrs. Le Noir at¬ 
tends the club shootj when the weather is pleasant. 
When spring opens there will be quite a large attendance 
of ladies, and it is a pleasure to see them interested in 
this good, healthful sport that the boys so much admire. 
Mr. Horace Heikes came up with his father from 
Dayton. He did a fine line of work with his gun, and 
had time to play several very elegant selections on the 
piano. He has a new composition he is writing, called^ 
the Ballistite medley, which he says is going to make a* 
hit. 
Harry Smith was not shooting his usual form Saturday. 
An off day will come along occasionally, especially when 
one has been shooting up in good shape. Harry will 
be at the tournament Thursday. 
Du Pont Luther Squier has been with us for the past 
ten days, and his leaving for the East Saturday night 
makes one good man short at rollcall. We are all 
glad to hear that Luther will be with us again in a 
short time. Luther J. Squier is one of the most popular 
gentlemen in the shooting game to-day, and his efforts 
in simplifying the work and advancing modern ideas, 
with his pleasing personality, have made him a great 
help to shooting interests. 
Win. Webster has been doing some good stunts with 
the new Parker. Twenty-five straight in the Secretary 
trophy race Wednesday, March 4, was finding them, and 
they were hit in the middle. 
Benjamin Bolin, the congenial contractor, has taken 
a streak of allowing only a few pf the pigeons to light. 
Ben says that he is trying to get in practice for duck 
shooting over decoys, and he don’t want to let them 
light, as he is afraid of shooting the decoys in the 
foot; 24 out of 25 in the Secretary trophy race was a 
winning gait. 
Charlie Shell, of Thornville, is shooting in good form 
and will be heard from during the season. Charlie will 
have a good big shoot in Thornville on May 13 and 14. 
A crowd from central Ohio is certain. 
Mr. Goeller, of Circleville, has just made arrangements 
to locate in Columbus, and will be associated with the 
popular sporting goods department of the Frank P. 
Hall Co. Mr. Goeller has had considerable experience 
in the line, and is a shooter. It is predicted that he will 
make many friends in Columbus. 
Joe Wells and Will Fishinger, of Hilliard, were down 
Saturday, and Joe had a hard line of luck with his gun. 
The plunger refused to do business properly. Joe was 
seen talking to Frank Hall, and there will evidently be 
“something diding,” as Joe won’t stand for any such 
carrying on from any old gun. 
W. V. Baker, in view of the fact that he has not been 
on the grounds for a long time, was shooting a fine 
average. Mr. Baker says that from now on we can ex¬ 
pect him out regular. It will not take him long to get 
into tournament form.
