Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
Dayton, Ky.—The club held the fourth of its series 
of money-back shoots on July 31. The weather was per¬ 
fect, but the attendance fell considerably below expecta¬ 
tions, only seventeen shooters taking part. 
The program consisted of ten 15-target events, total 
entrance, $14, including $1 for the money-back purse. 
Purses in the first five events divided Rose system, 5, 3, 
2, 1, and in the last five 35, 30. 20 and 15 per cent. There 
was also an bptional $2 sweep on the entire program, 
divided, three moneys, high guns. The high average 
trophy this month was a handsome piece of cut glass. 
O. J. Holaday, Sr., acted as referee. Geo. Dameron, of 
the home club won the high average trophy with a score 
of 142. J. Brandenburg (Ike), of Dayton, O., was 
second with 138, and E. Cain, also of Dayton, third with 
137. Three, professionals shot in the tournament, C. A. 
Young being high man for the day with 143. C. O. Le 
Compte came next with 142, and O. J. Holladay, Jr., 
third with 13S[. Long runs were neither numerous nor 
very long, C. A. Young getting 80 in practice and the 
first four events of the program. Dameron 46, and Bonta 
46 . 
Shooting began about 11 o’clock, and the program was 
finished about 4:30. A special event was then shot foi 
the Peters challenge cup, 25 targets, handicap 16 to 21yds. 
The professionals were allowed to compete for the cup, 
standing on the 21yd. mark. Dameron, in the first squad 
was high with 23, and was congratulated as the winner, 
but when Payne, Schreck and McFee got to work, things 
began to look different. The three stayed together for a 
time, when Schreck dropped one. Then Payne and 
McFee broke target after target to the last five, when 
Payne missed connections, going out with 24. McFee 
broke his 25 straight, and won the trophy. 
The money-back purse amounted to $39.35. Nine 
shooters were helped from this purse, their losses ranging 
from 25 cents to $6.15, and totaling $26.55. 
The next tournament of this series will be held on 
Aug. 2S. Everyone is welcome, and the club wants to 
be obliged to use two traps next time. The totals of 
150 targets follow:

Cincinnati (0.) Gun Club. 
Scores at the weekly shoot, July 30, were about on a 
par with the attendance, and that was a long way from 
good. The shooters present, however, had a good ex¬ 
cuse for their poor work, as a strong, variable wind 
made hard targets. Aside from the wind, the day was 
a perfect one for any sort of outdoor sport. 
“Kid” Randall was an easy first, and was the only 
one to get into the 90 per cent, class. Connelly gave 
him a good run in the first 60, but dropped behind in 
the finish, and got second on 84. No excuse to make 
for Le Compte, and he had no good one ready to ac¬ 
count for his very unusual low scores. 
The trophy series for July ends on the 31st, and Ran¬ 
dall has a lead that cannot be tied. However, results 
cannot be given till all have finished. The scores:

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., July 31.—Appended are scores of 
practice shoot of the Hudson Gun Club, which were 
made this morning at the club grounds, on the west bank 
of the Hackensack River. The morning was cool and 
pleasant, with wind enough blowing across the traps to 
keep the boys on their mettle to try and return good 
scores, but try as they would, some very poor averages 
were returned when they looked over the score cards. 
The club event for the Gille trophy was won by W. 
Emmons wjth a perfect score, including his handicap 
allowance. 
High average for the day was divided between Carl von 
Lengerke and Al. Emmons, each gentleman breaking 80 
per cent, of their targets, with Al. Evans a close second 
with 78 per cent. 
Our next shoot will be held on Aug. 14, and all trap- 
shooters wishing to spend a pleasant morning, can do so 
at our grounds, as everybody is welcome.

The Monogram Manufacturing Co., of Tuckahoe, N. Y., 
calls the attention of fishermen and scientific casters to 
its new type of casting rod, the Castwell, with the grasp 
particularly designed to fit the hand, as well as other 
points designed to create a good all-round rod. 
GOVERNMENT PROTECTION. 
With respect to the protection of game at 
least, there can be no question but that it should 
be under the jurisdiction of the central govern¬ 
ment, and if a bill to amend the Constitution 
in such a manner as to place the corporations 
under the protection of Federal game laws es¬ 
tablishing a closed season of say five years, and 
providing perhaps a few refuges here and there 
for these noble but persistently hunted animals 
it would undoubtedly meet with considerable 
favor from all true sportsmen, and tend to 
modify to some extent the long-established 
prejudice in favor of States’ rights.—Brooklyn

Canada, revised to date and now in force, are 
given in the Game Laws in Brief. See adv.
