Benton, Ill., May 17.—The Benton Gun Club had their 
first shoot May 12 and 13, wh : ch was a success. We 
expect to have one or two every year, and intend to 
make every one better. The weather was warm, with 
plenty of wind-and some rain. We had with us A. L. Cum¬ 
mings, of the Winchester Arms Co.; Cadwallader, of the 
Peters Cartridge Co., and Arthur Silliman, of the Du 
Pont Powder Co., whose presence we enjoyed. At sup¬ 
per, after the first day’s shoot, this trio went “straight.”

Notes of the Shoot. 
She fat and the lean tied for high average—Sked 
better known as Twenty-three, tied L. S. German Nc 
230, for high score, 98 out of 105. 
Curts and Smith had it out to the tune of 63 to 62 fi 
a loud noise. 
Mr. Lloyd Lewis, manager of the series of shoots i 
honor of Mr. I.. S. German, highly appreciates the gooi 
attendance and kindly spirit shown. Mr. German ex 
presses the fact that he was never better entertained. 
Mason had his eagle eye on high average and carriec 
it off on his talons to Ricca’s eerie. 
Dawes showed his fangs to the low average, and passe, 
it by a narrow margin, owing to the coaching of J. D 
Mason. 
Ed. Hardenbergh nearly broke his heart in breaking 
target, thereby losing half of second money. 
Henry Hess thinks that pigeons look like 1, 2, 3, a 
compared to Scranton targets. 
The experts had a howling time after partaking of al 
the good things at Ricca’s.

Brownsville, May 15. —On account of counter attrac

contest and a finer bunch of fellows it would be hare 
indeed to come in contact with. 
Though only a few participated, there was quite : 
nice crowd on hand to watch the boys make the fol 
lowing scores:
