FOREST AND STREAM 
[Nov. s, 1910. 
Johnson City Tournament. 
Chattanooga, Term., Oct. 27. — Thirty shooters took 
part in the Jack Rabbit tournament of the Johnson City, 
Tenn., Gun Club, on Oct. 20, and from 9:00 A. M. until 
nearly dark, the contest continued without the slightest 
hitch of any description to mar what proved to be one 
of the nicest little shoots it has been the pleasure of 
the writer to attend in a long while. The club, headed 
by W. H. Cressman, president, and E. N. Lockett, sec¬ 
retary, offered a very liberal program indeed, for in 
addition to thirty odd merchandise prizes there was $60 
in cash added, which on the Jack Rabbit system made it 
pretty hard for the amateur to quit very much loser, and 
every one present enjoyed to the fullest extent the making 
of the following scores:

Old Hatch came into his own once more, landing high 
average by a very nice margin indeed. 
The office was looked after by Mr. E. N. Lockett, 
secretary, and Bruce Plummer, while Hall and Goodloe 
did good work on the hustling line. 
Burnett, Williams and Burks put up as pretty a race 
for high amateur as you could wish to see, until the 
necessity of catching his train caused Burnett, who was 
slightly in the lead, to withdraw before shooting his last 
25. With Burnett out of the way, Charlie Burks, of 
Knoxville, kept plugging away and finally won a great 
race from Williams by just one target. 
Sam R. Sells, nominee of his party for United States 
Congress, came out after lunch and finished the pro¬ 
gram with the boys. When we saw how popular Sam 
was with his home crowd, it was easy to understand his 
recent easy victory. 
Knoxville sent over a fine bunch in Burks, Pittner 
(president of the Knoxville Gun Club), John M. Ross 
(one of the real “old-timers”), Groves and Hall (the 
popular trade representatives), while Bristol, not to be 
outdone by her sister city, contributed a jollv lot in 
Lewis, Lockett, Cochran, Pugh, Woolsey and Hatcher. 
Mr. Sanford Burnett, hailing from Newport, and Mr. C. 
R. Rankin from Greenville. 
One of the most pleasant features of the shoot was 
attributable to the thoughtfulness of the wife of the 
genial president, Mrs. W. H. Cressman, who about 2:00 
P. M., when every one was just beginning to feel all 
worn out, sent over two delicious cakes and a great jug 
of pure home-made wine of the very finest kind—the 
kind, you know, that makes a fellow wish his neck was 
a yard or so long. And the way the boys went after 
it leaves it unnecessary for me to say here how much 
it was enjoyed. A. Shooter. 
Concordia (Kan.) Blue Ribbon Gun Club. 
Concordia, Kans. — Mr. W. H. Ileer was high profes¬ 
sional with 199 out of 200 targets; O’Brien second with 
198. Mr. Chas. McKee was high amateur with 191; 
Krohm second with 190. Mr. fleer made a run of 128 
straight and O’Brien had a straight run of 96. Heer's 
run of 128 was a record-breaker for Concordia’s trap 
grounds, this being the first 100 straight ever made on 
these grounds by either a professional or an amateur. 
In the Remington gun event of 25 targets, Myers was 
the winner, with 25 straight, McKee and Krohn giving 
him a close race with 24 each.

Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O. — The annual fall shoot, held Thursday 
and Friday, Oct. 27-28, on the grounds of the Columbus 
Gun Club, is a thing of the past. The attendance was 
not up to what we expected, but owing to the bad 
weather, the attendance was abcAe the average. The way 
it started the first morning was enough to make most 
any one stay at home. 
The second day promised to be nice, but in the after¬ 
noon it blew a gale, and how the snow did come down. 
J. R. Taylor was high; C. A. Young second, with Webb 
high amateur and Ed. Cain second. Twenty-three shoot¬ 
ers took part. 
The scores are low on account of this being a handi¬ 
cap shoot, 16 to 20yds. Then the wind blew a gale both 
days. 
Kingsbury won the gun with 30 straight. Webb was 
one bird behind. Webb was high man the first day with 
191 breaks out of 200. 
Don Goshorn, a trade representative, is a mighty fine 
lad, and hard to beat at the shooting game. 
Our next shoot will be Nov. 23, for turkeys and money. 
All shoot from 16yds. The money will be on the Squier 
system. 
It was nip-and-tuck with Fred Shattuck and Luther 
Squier who could eat the most fish. 
We sure do feel thankful to you all for coming in 
such weather.

New York Athletic Club 
Secretary. 
Travers Island, N. 
Y.. Oct. 
29.—The 
first shoot of 
the New York Athletic Club season was held to-day. The 
long interval elapsing between the last Athletic Club 
shcot of the spring, and this opening shoot caused no 
appreciable falling off in the skill of the members. The 
main event was the weekly handicap, 100 targets. It re¬ 
sulted in a tie between G. W. Kuchler and H. T. Thiel- 
man on a full score of 100, the former winning the shoot- 
off by a total of 21 to 19. Each had 12 allowance. Frank 
Hall led the scratch men with 95, while C. W. Billings 
was close up with 94. Two guests, F. E, Butler and 
P. L. Coffin scored 91, and 87. Dr. P. Moeller, of 
Nyack, was first in the visitors’ competition with 81 
scored and 10 allowance, a total of 91.

Hyde Park Gun Club. 
Cincinnati. O. — There was a fair attendance at the 
grounds on Oct. 29, though the unfavorable weather kept 
some of the regulars away. Several out-of-town shooters 
were present, among them J. R. Taylor, of Newark. O., 
who made high score of 95, and L. J. Squier, of Pitts¬ 
burg, Pa., who got in second place on 91. Holaday and 
Goshorn tied on 83 for third place. Taylor was the only 
one to go straight in any of the events. He is on his 
way to Reelfoot Lake, Tenn. to enjoy some of the 
duck shooting, for which that place is famous. Goshorn 
and Squier will visit the Northern Kentucky G. C. on 
the 30th to take part in the last money-back tournament 
of the series, which the club has. On Nov. 5, the club 
will hold a special trophy event at 50 targets. The shoot 
is open to all amateurs, and the prize is worth winning. 
The day was very windy, and the targets difficult. But 
this did not account for Frohliger’s downfall; the real 
cause was a strange gun. The scores:
