Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
t 
Dayton, Ky. — At the weekly shoot on Oct. 9, ten 
shooters were present. Among them were a number who 
were comparatively new at the game, so that scores were 
not high. There was a fresh cross-wind, which caused 
the targets to perform unexpected stunts, and more than 
one shooter fell below his average. Dameron was high 
with 89, the first time in many weeks that he has dropped 
out of the 90 per cent, class. Keifer has not fully re¬ 
covered from a long illness, and was not in condition to 
shoot, or his score would have been nearer 85 per cent. 
Gould only shot in one event to help things along. E.I. J. 
has not been shooting for some time, and had a new gun 
to-day, a combination which caused him to fall down a 
little. It is a number of years since V. K. was on the 
firing line. Charlie Woodbury is in Canada after moose, 
and the boys are hoping for a taste of moose meat later 
on. The club will hold its monthly live-bird trophy 
shoot on the last Thursday of the month. The last of 
the Squier money-back tournaments for this season will 
be held on Oct. 30. The series has been very popular 
this year, and the shooters have promised to. turn out in 
force and make the last one the best of all. The club 
will be represented at the Cincinnati money-back 
tounament on Oct. 23.

Dayton, Ky.—The special event held by the club on 
Oct. 15, proved an attraction which drew one of the 
largest crowds that has attended a shoot in these parts 
for many months. It was a combination affair, consist¬ 
ing of two events at live birds, and one at 50 targets. 
All events were handicaps and were open to professionals 
and amateurs. The first event was at 10 live birds, en¬ 
trance $3.00, handicaps 28 to 34yds. Then followed the 
target handicap event. A sterling silver trophy was the 
prize in each of these events. The sport wound up with 
a 10-bird race, money divided 60 and 40 per cent. After 
this, Keplinger and two or three others kept the trap 
boys busy until dark, but no record was kept of the 
targets they broke. 
In the live-bird trophy event, Koch and Le Compte 
' tied on 10 straight. The latter withdrew and the trophy 
event was won by Ralph Trimble on a score of 4'8, shoot¬ 
ing from 20yds. Ward gave him a close race, tying him 
in 30 targets and dropping one behind in the last round 
at 20 targets. De Mar, of the Hyde Park Gun Club, got 
in third place on 46. He shot from 18yds., and was the 
only one, except Trimble, to go straight in the 20-target 
string. Dameron was off to-day, dropping below 90 per 
cent., something he seldom does. 
Holaday, Sr., has done little shooting since the old 
days, when it was “gun below the elbow,” and his score 
of 88 per cent., is a mighty good one. 
L. J Squier was not in shooting humor; his score shows 
that, or less he is just lying back for big odds in the 
Indianapolis books. 
H. R. Irwin is still experimenting with guns. Some 
day he’ll go back to his old favorite and his scores will 
climb. 
Dr. Gould worked and shot. His work he did well, 
but his shooting suffered. 
Keplinger was in the wrong place at the finish, sixth 
place is too low for him. 
We were glad to see T. H. Keller with .us, and wish 
business would bring him oftener. 
A number of the shooters stopped over here on their 
way to the Post Series at Indianapolis this week. Most 
of them will visit the Cincinnati grounds on Oct. 16, 
leaving for the Hoosier State that night. 
In the second live-bird event T. H. Keller set the pace, 
and took first money alone on a straight score. F. Tuttle 
tied with Le Compte for second place, a pretty nice piece 
of work for one who never shot at live birds before. 
Geo. Walker was away off to-day, missing 7 birds out 
of 20, something he never did before, at least the records 
do not show any such score made by him. 
Keplinger tried his hand at the sport and scored 7, 
one of his 3 birds being dead out. 
The club is pieparing for its last money-back tourna¬ 
ment, which will be held on Oct. 30.- A big crowd is 
promised, and they will be well taken care of.
