FOREST AND STREAM 
[April 18, 1908. 
I he Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbis, O., April 10. —Rain and heavy windstorms, 
remnants ot March, made things very uncomfortable for 
snooting in this section during the entire week. The 
V\ ectnesday shoot was attended by a small crowd, and 
r.un between shoots and shoots between rain was the 
programme. 
J lie new office for the Grand American Handicap use 
has been bunt, and will be tr.ed out at the spring tour¬ 
nament, on April 21, 22 and 23. The lockers for the 
«• ar e nearly completed, and will be ready for the 
< Jluo State shoot the first week in June and will be 
rented to shooters attending the State shoot, $1.60 for 
tlie tour days, with a refund of 50 cents on return of 
key. Reserves may be made by any one by sending 
remittance to the secretary. 
II. E Smith has been under the weather, and only 
took a shot at a few of them Saturday. Harry says he 
can t get used to these sudden changes. 
Will Fishinger will certainly have to go back to the 
double barrel proposition, as the single barrel seems to be 
a Jonah, ft might be the wind, Rill, and a few quiet 
days will tell the tale. 
Kolia fleikes loomed up unexpectedly, but mightily 
welcome, 01 Saturday afternoon, and the way he headed 
ott that right-quarterer was a sample of what ‘'Fop'’ can 
do to them in a gale—91 out of that 100 was as good as 
ltd straight on a quiet day. 
Horace Heikcs was on hand, and says that his Bal- 
hstite song is becoming very popu.ar all over this sec¬ 
tion, and that even the bands will soon be playing it. 
— i,er Captain, Alonzo J. Fisher, of the Buckeye Lake 
Meamboat Co., was over and gave a recitation on what 
a great big circus the boys were going to have at his 
two days shoot at Buckeye, on April 15 and 16. 
Prank Burris heard somebody make a remark about 
Having a gun that made a closer pattern than anybody's 
on the ground, and the way he looked around at him 
w °ujd have jarred you, as Frank thinks that they have 
S i'T e !»■ ■ g °, t to get U P and dust if they walk around his 
old W inchester. 
Shatford did fine in the swift breeze Saturday, and he 
!? gett ,"?g the new gun lined up in fine shape, so that 
you fellahs will soon take notice.” 
\\ m. W ebster walked off with the persimmons in the 
secretary trophy race, with 24 out of 26; and,you may 
just put that down for a star performance. With one 
r 0t i ^nehored and the other in the air, what better test 
ot skill would be required to prove it. 
Wilder said he kept getting wilder all the time, and 
lie surely couldn t expect much different. After all he 
did not do the worst acting of the bunch. ’ 
Jack Smith has been wondering what had got into the 
old gun, whether it was an over-dose or j’ust a case of 
indisposition. On looking her over carefully it was dis¬ 
covered that the stock had bent out a quarter to the 
i’o?. -’!? k hgured 11 out that he had been shooting 
about _ft. 3m. away from the right spot 
George VYhisner, after quite a siege with a bad 
shoulder, has got back in the game, and is just trying a 
few to see how he can stand it. 
, n Dr v' an Fossen came late in the afternoon and shot 
hU. ihe Doctor intends to just shoot a few until he 
gets good and strong again. 
I here seems to be considerable activity all over the 
State in shooting c rcles, and Ohio will not be behind 
the procession when it comes to a turnout of shooters. 
•' gteat many inquiries are coming in regarding the 
spring tournament, April 22 and 23, also the Ohio State 
shoot and Grand American.

Hudson Valley Rod and Gun Club. 
Glens Falls, N. Y., April 11.—Ten men turned out 
to the regular shoot Friday atiernoon, but the high 
wind made good scores almost an impossibility. Brown 
landed first place with 80 per cent., Chapman coming 
next with 76 per cent, which, under the circumstances, 
was mighty good shooting, as the wind would take hold 
of the targets the moment they left the trap and boost 
ttiem rigiu up into the air like sky rockets. Lots of 
interest is being taken in our tournament to be held 
Saturday the 25th inst. and a good attendance is as¬ 
sured. Friday’s scores:
