Sheppard, mentions that the prospects of the Westy 
Hogan tonrnament, to be held on Young’s pier, Sept. 7-9, 
promises to' be a great success. It is thought that there will 
be 200 contestants. This will far surpass the number of 
shooters in attendance at the tournaments of many older 
and more pretentious organizations this year. It will be 
a great shoot with even less than 200 v

The program issued by the Grand Island, Neb., Gun 
Club, is distinctly a pleasing novelty. It contains many 
cartoons and drawings by the talented Secretary, F. F. 
Kanert, besides portraits of many eminent men. There 
is much bright reading matter also. Incidentally, there 
is a wealth of advertisements. On the preliminary day, 
Aug. 22, commencing at 2 P. M., there will be four 
events at 15 targets, $1.50 entrance; two at 20 targets, $2 
entrance, and a handicap at 15 targets for three Reming¬ 
ton guns, first, second and third, respectively. On the 
first day there will be twelve events—eight at 15 and four 
at 20 targets, entrance $1.50 and $2, with $9 and $13.25 
added. On the second day, Aug. 24, the program is 
much the same as that of the first day, with $1.80 and 
$2.40 entrance. Also there will be the Great Western 
Interstate championship handicap, 50 targets, or 100, ac¬ 
cording to the wishes of the shooters. Merchandise 
prizes. Ship guns, etc., prepaid, care of the Secretary. 
Bernard Waters, 
Cincinnati (O.) Gun Club. 
The Cincinnati, O., Gun Club’s grounds were deserted 
on Aug. 13, and Superintendent McFee passed a lone¬ 
some afternoon. At a meeting of the directors on Fri¬ 
day evening, Aug. 12, it was decided to hold a mer¬ 
chandise shoot in the near future. J. A. Payne was 
appointed a committee to make all arrangements, and 
the question of date was left with him. Payne will 
make a good tournament committee, but his best efforts 
will be in vain if the other officers and members do not 
lend him a hand. 
On Aug. 14 five shooters showed up at the grounds and 
did a little work at the traps. Heilman was high gun 
with 68, a considerably lower score than he usually 
makes. The directors will hold a meeting on Aug. 15, 
when definite arrangements for the merchandise shoot 
will be made. It looks like the problem of getting the 
club back to anything like its old position was becom¬ 
ing more and more difficult of solution. If, eventually, 
it has to go out of business the members can blame 
themselves.' for they certainly have not given the sup¬ 
port which the officers have a right to expect, and with¬ 
out which no organization can flourish.
