FOREST AND STREAM 
[May 23, 1908. 
Omaha Tournament. 
Omaha, Neb.—The first day was cold and raw, un¬ 
pleasant weather conditions under which to hold the 
annual spring tournament of the Omaha Gun Club, 
May 5, 6 and 7. 
There were twelve events—four at 20 and eight at 15 
targets. Professional high average of the day, 193 out of 
200. was made by J. M. Hughes; second, R. R. Barber, 192; 
third. Geo. Maxwell and Chris Gottlieb, 190. The ama¬ 
teur high averages were as follows: First, Frank Weath¬ 
erhead, 192; second, B. Asher, 191; third, A. Miller, 189. 
An exceedingly interesting match was shot between Capt. 
A. H. Hardy, who used a rifle, and Chris. Gottlieb, who 
used a shotgun. They tied on 24 each. The trapshooting 
with a rifle at balls. l%in. in diameter, 15ft. rise, was 
quite an incidental attraction Scores follow:

Independent Gun Club. 
Philadelphia, Pa.—At the monthly club shoot held at 
Holmesburg Junction, on Saturday, May 9, the beautiful 
cup donated by Mr. David Longnecker was shot for. 
We used the same style handicap which has proven so 
successful in the last two or three shoots, viz.: Distance 
and dead bird added combined. 
Mr. Fleming shot a wonderful race under the condi¬ 
tions, and finished with a net score of 92, which, with his 
handicap of 20 dead birds, made him an easy winner. 
He also won a sterling silver spoon put up for highest 
net score. 
Ford, Severn, Cantrell, Bell and F. Mathews tied for 
the Class 1 spoon with a score of 94. In the shoot-off 
at 25 targets Bell and Ford again tied at 23. In the 
second shoot-off at 15 targets they again tied at 14, and 
then decided same by the toss of a coin, Ford winning. 
Little won the spoon in Class 2 with a score of 92, and 
W. Mathews in Class 3 with a score of 80. 
In the event at doubles, 10 pairs, for sterling silver 
spoon, Tansey and W. Mathews tied on a score of 14, 
Mathews winning on the shoot-off.

Memphis Gun Club. 
Memphis, Term., May 9.—Mr. H. W. Kahler, of Daven¬ 
port, la.; the two Edwards brothers and Mr. Gibbs, of 
Union City, Tenn.; C. C. Hawkins, of Woodstock, Tenn., 
and Mr. Cocke of Mississippi, were visitors at the 
Memphis Gun Club this afternoon and participated in 
the 100 target programme, pulled off on this occasion. 
Buckingham, of the locals, seemed to have found about 
the right combination and landed high amateur for the 
event with 95 out of 100; Kahler and Uncle Bill Joiner 
tied on 94 for second. 
The high gun average, however, fell to the lot of H. 
J. Borden, the popular trade representative, who dropped 
only 3 out of 105, while Fowler, a comparatively new 
beginner, won new honors for himself by scoring 58 out 
of his last 60, finishing the day with 115 out of 125, an 
even 92 per cent. P. B. P.
