in order to obtain best results. They will operate and shoot perfectly in all guns 
of standard make, and they therefore have no limitations.

Analostan Gun Club. 
Washington, D. C\, Aug. 14.—The members of the 
Analostan Gun Club had a perfect afternoon for their 
shooting on the 13th instant. The attendance was small 
—this being vacation time, and many of the boys are 
taking advantage of it. J. A. Brown again attained first 
place by scoring 91 out of his 100. C. B. Wise duplicated 
his score of last week, 89. C. S. Wilson also improved 
in his work, scoring S2. Of those who shot at less 
than 100, Mr. Robert T. Bray distinguished himself by 
breaking 40 out of 50. He is a new member, but has 
improved constantly witli practice. James M. Green is 
doing better work since he changed guns, and George 
Talbott is getting in better form. Following are the 
scores:

The Fred Macaulay Bu siness Men's Gun Club. 
Newark. N. J., Aug. 11.—Shooting under adverse 
weather conditions, the scores turned in by the gunners 
at the regular weekly shoot of the Fred Macaulay 
Business Men’s Gun Club, held over the Speedway traps 
Tuesday afternoon, were creditable. Three of the gun¬ 
ners out of the fourteen who participated in the shoot 
were credited with making clean scores of 25 kills. John 
Geiger, Carl von Lengerke and Harry Wethling were 
the ones to break 25 of the blue rocks without a miss. 
Several matches were shot during the afternoon be¬ 
sides the regular squad shooting. The three-cornered 
match between Phil Coffin, John»Geiger and Harry 
\\ ethling was won by Geiger on the shoot-off, after be¬ 
ing tied with Coffin with 22 birds apiece. In the shoot- 
off Geiger made his perfect score of 25 kills. The three- 
cornered double-bird match between Fred W. Macaulay, 
Harry Wethling and James Wheaton resulted in a tie 
between Wethling and \\ heaton, with 15 birds apiece. 
They failed to have a shoot-off for the prize. Macaulay 
then lost a double-bird match to Wheaton by the score 
of 15 to 11. Following are the scores of yesterday: 
Phil Coffin, 24, 22, 23, 22, 24, 24, 21, 22, 23; John Geiger,

Buffalo—Cleveland Match. 
The last half of the contest at targets between the 
Cleveland Gun Club and the Buffalo Audubon Club 
will be shot at Buffalo at the Audubon grounds, on 
Saturday, Aug. 27. 
Twenty-five men from each club, representing the 
best shooters that these two cities can produce, will 
be in this contest, each team endeavoring with might 
and skill to win, whereby they will become the pos¬ 
sessors of the individual trophies which will mark the 
victory forever thereafter. 
The contest consists of 200 targets per man, 100 of 
which were shot at Cleveland in May last, and re¬ 
sulted in a lead for the first half of the contest in 
favor of the Buffalo shooters of about fifty targets. 
The Cleveland shooters are sparing no effort between 
these two events to put themselves in shape to over¬ 
come that lead and a few more when they come to 
Buffalo. 
This contest is one of the greatest inter-city matches 
that has ever taken place in the history of trap-shoot¬ 
ing. The great distance between the two cities com¬ 
peting, the engagement of fifty shooters in the contest, 
the chartering of special cars, traveling hundreds of 
miles, and the expenditure of many hundreds of dollars, 
all of which is to determine which city’s club will win 
the right to the trophies in the contest. 
Some fourteen years ago, the Cleveland Gun Club 
shooters defeated the Buffalo shooters both in Cleve¬ 
land and in Buffalo. They have a club membership 
of 190, which includes some of the best amateur shooters 
in the country. 
The Buffalo Audubon Club has a membership of 94, 
was organized in 1866, and has had on its roll many 
prominent and distinguished men. The many times 
it has won possession of the Dean-Richmond trophy 
is significant of its shooting ability, and although it 
does not compare with the Cleveland club in numbers, 
it is a club always to be reckoned with in a contest 
of this kind. 
This event will cause Buffalo to be the immediate 
center of trap-shooting interests at this time. Some 
of the city officials and many friends of the Cleveland 
Gun Club will accompany their team to Buffalo. Mayor 
Louis P. Fuhrman and a host of Audubon admirers 
will be on hand to encourage the Buffalo men. 
W hile the professional shooters and the trade repre¬ 
sentatives will take no part in the contest, many will 
be present to witness the event and assist in the work 
of carrying on the match. 
Atlentic City Gun Club. 
Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 12.—The week end shoot 
was well attended and the scores ran high, and in the 
monthly spoon event. Cook led the field with 47 actual 
breaks. Powers coming next with 46. The boys are 
coming out more regularly now, getting in a little prac¬ 
tice for the great W esty Hogan shoot, which is to be 
held here on Voung’s Pier Sept. 7-9 inclusive, and from 
present indications there will be fully 200 entries, and 
tile competition will be of the highest order. An entire 
Pullman carload is coming through special from Roan¬ 
oke, V a.—that is what Geo. Lyon says, and his word 
is good. In fact, shooters will be here from as far 
West as Chicago. 
Get your gun in shooting trim and be here to take 
part in this great shoot. Scores:

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Aug. 14.—The regular bi-monthly 
shoot of the Hudson Gun Club had a very slim at¬ 
tendance this morning, only seven of the members taking 
part in the several events shot. The morning was hot 
and sultry, which no doubt was the cause of keeping 
some of the boys from journeying to the grounds, but 
those that attended spent a very enjoyable couple of 
hours smashing blue rocks, and returned some very 
good scores, the shooting of Schortey and Engle being 
very creditable, and the former, with 91 per cent., being 
high gun for the day. Our next shoot will be on Aug. 
28. The scores:
