The Columbus Gui\ Club. 
Columbus, ()., April 4.—No targets were smoked up at 
the De Graff tournament on Thursday, said the boys that 
shot through. Chipping was the crder, as the velocity 
of the wind took them such a clip that you were mighty 
lucky to get even the edge of your pattern near enough to 
get a piece that was perceptible to the referee. Fifteen 
shooters left Columbus to attend the De Graff shoot 
and show the congenial secretary, Mr. Long, that we 
wanted to help make his shoot a success. The club 
house arrangement at De Graff was very clever, and re¬ 
flects great credit on the secretary and members of the 
Club for making comfortable arrangements. 
The extreme severity of the weather, with its fifty-mile 
breeze, is the only thing that kept a crowd of forty to 
fifty shooters away from the De Graff shoot. Columbus 
has had weather, and can appreciate the situation. 
Mr. A. E. Shatford came out alone to the club on 
Thursday to try the new gun. and managed to take 50 
shots between gasps, as the wind was bow.ing along at 
such speed that Air. S. found it necessary to anchor to 
the posts as he came down the line by wrapping cue 
leg around the post and trying to keep balanced with 
the other. 
John k. Taylor has^ been bitting the high places this 
week, 97 out of 100 Saturday afternoon, and 198 out of 
200 at W ilmington on Tuesday, which is very close to 
getting them all. 
Fred Le Noir is happy as a lark, and says that he 
thinks it is largely due to the splennid climate in Ohio 
and the congenial people he meets here. Fred’s 191 at 
the Wilmington shoot was second high professional. 
Dr. Van Fossen received a hearty welcome on Saturday 
afternoon when he drove into the grounds, and he 
showed the boys that if he had gene through one of the 
most seriogs lines of operations known to modern sur¬ 
gery, and had been almost given up by his friends, his 
recovery, though somewhat slow, had been substantial. 
The Doctor was able to shoot at 100 targets, breaking two 
22s out of 25 each, and getting 84 out of the ICO. It was 
a real pleasure to see him. as there is not a finer sports¬ 
man in the country nor one more popular. 
II. E. Smith did not shoot so well Saturday, being 
almost totally disabled with a very bad cold, llajry says 
hot weather is his long suit. 
J. II. Smith strained his gun so badly at the De Graff 
cyclone that he will have to send it to the hospital for 
an operation. 
Jake Evans was out experimenting with some of his 
fancy shots, one arm and so forth. “Jake” is going to 
give an exhibition at the Grand American, he and Bill. 
Frank Burris presented the secretary with a very tine 
specimen of male spoonbill duck, nicely mounted, which 
will make an elegant addition to the collection on the 
old fireplace mantle. Frank likes the game all the way 
through, and the spoonbill is greatly appreciated by 
Shattuck and all the hoys that have seen it. 
Mr. L. W. Cumberland’s boy killed a fine specimen 
of a Guinea loon on the water above the storage dam, 
and presented it to the secretary, and this will he 
mounted, to^ go along with one that was killed last 
spring. A fine pair they will make. Master Cumber- 
land has promise 
of becoming a good 
shot.

L. 
W. Cumberland is

championship of Westchester County, N. V., presented 
by Sheriff Chas. AI. Lane to the Ossining Gun Club, 
is on exhibition in one of the show windows of Barnes
