M. B. M. G. C. 
Dayton, I<y. — There were ten shooters at the club 
grounds yesterday, and all took part in the 50-target 
event. Dameron was high gun with 44, a score some¬ 
what lower than he is accustomed to make. C. Wood¬ 
bury, who has just returned from a trip to the Canadian 
wilds after big game, came second with 37. The targets 
look rather small to him after hunting moose, but he 
will get into line on them again soon and make better 
scores. Messrs. Dremer and Fisher are new at this kind 
of shooting. Dameron and Holaday each shot at 100 
targets, the former breaking 87 and the latter 71, neither 
making the score he usually does. The weather was a 
trifle cool, but clear and pleasant, and with no wind to 
trouble the shooters. Most of the members are making 
plans for the opening of the quail season on the 15th, and 
from that date until the open season is over the traps will 
be pretty well deserted.

A live-bird shoot was held on Nov. 3, in which ten 
shooters took part. Woodbury. Fleischman and Schreck 
each killed 21; Woodbury with his handicap of 24. making 
a perfect score and winning the trophy. Walker, the 
scratch man, made high score of the day with 22. Mrs. 
R. and Lee each shot at 10, the former scoring 9 and 
the latter 7. The birds were allowed a start of 5yds. from 
the trap before a shot could be fired. The weather was 
fine, and the birds more than an average lot. 
Twenty-five birds, $10 entrance, purse divided GO and 40 
per cent.:

Dayton, Ky. — Most of the members are away, or get¬ 
ting ready to start on their annual quail hunt, and qnly 
three men showed up for practice on Nov. 13. Of 
these, Dameron was high, with 4G, or 92 per cent. He 
and Woodbury leave on the 14'th for Carter county, Ky., 
for a week’s quail hunt. J. V. Dean will go to Lewis 
county after quail and rabbits. E. J. McArdle goes to 
Highland county, and will make havoc among the quail 
of that locality. Dr. Gould is planning a short trip to 
Licking county, and J. Higden will have his field 
shooting about eight miles north of Saunders, Ky. Birds 
are reported to be very plentiful in all these localities; in 
fact, the quail have not been so numerous in this sec¬ 
tion for several years. The scores:

Indianapolis Gun Club. 
Nov. 5. — A bad light and fast targets kept the scores 
below the average to-day. In a race with the Evans¬ 
ville Club—five men to the team — Parry broke 49 out of 
50 and was the only one to score a straight during the 
day. , 
Jones with 45 out of 50, was high in the initial con¬ 
test for the second Comstock trophy. In this race 
entrants are handicapped in distance and in the number 
of wins necessary to annex the cup.

Nov. 12.—Conditions were again in favor of the targets, 
and the “pick up” was the best of the season. Parry 
led in practice and was the only one to break a straight. 
In the contest for the Comstock trophy, Dixon was

Chris Feigenspan did remarkable work at the Fred 
Macaulay Business Men’s Gun Club shoot Nov. 9, at the 
Speedway traps, when he broke 99 white fliers out of a 
possible 100. The feat was a club record. In addition 
to setting up this mark, Feigenspan outclassed the other 
marksmen by smashing 307 birds out of a possible 325. 
B. M. Shanley. Jr., was another that did remarkably 
well considering the short time he has been at the game. 
Shanley brought down 223 out of 325. 
William Stengel still holds the championship in the 
moonlight squad. Pie broke 17 out of a possible 25 in 
the dark, when nine men out of ten could not see the 
birds at all. Others in his squad went 15 and 10 in 
their highest scores. John Hausman was roped into a 
squad by Jimmie Quinn for a match. To the great sur¬ 
prise of every one he downed Quinn, breaking IS to 
Jim’s 14. Quinn looked dumbfounded, and John joined 
the club before he left. 
Jackie Clarke, Rube Wadell, Paddy Plehir, Fred 
Compton, Fred Macaulay and others made some excellent 
scores. There were nineteen shooters who faced the 
traps in seventeen squads, and 1875 targets were shot at 
in all. 
Harry Robinson and John Dexheimer, both of East 
Orange, who are new members of the club, will shoot a 
50-bird match at the Macaulay Gun Club at the Speed¬ 
way traps on the regular meeting next Tuesday for the 
suppers for six. It will be very interesting, as” they are 
both very popular among the club members. The scores

Columbus Gun Club. 
• 
Columbus, O.. Nov. 5.—Guv Smith was high man to¬ 
day, breaking 95 out of 115. He also won a point on the 
Ballistite trophy. Kingsbury won a point on the Secre¬ 
tary trophy, breaking 44 out of 50. Dr. Jones broke 63 
out of 100. Shilling 78 out of 95, Drake, of Lockbourne, 
56 out of 75. Barstow, 56 out of 75. J. PI. Smith 19 out 
of 25. Fisher. 43 out of 50. W. Martin, of Athens, 22 
out of 40. R. E. Martin, 28 out of 40. 
The Columbus team wonders what has become of that 
bunch of 90 per cent, shooters up on the edge of the 
lake. They promised a return match, but they must 
have got cold feet. Come on down, boys, we won’t 
hurt you. 
The Columbus Gun Club challenger the Newark, O., 
Gun Club to shoot a race for the Phellis trophy, em¬ 
blematic of the six-man team championship of the State. 
Nov. 12.—Not much doing at the club Saturday after¬ 
noon. A telegraph match was shot with Lexington, Ky., 
five men on a side, 100 birds per man. Lexington won 
by a score of 469 to Columbus’ 439. If they had the 
same weather that Columbus had, their scores certainly 
would have been smaller. 
It blew a gale across the grounds all day, and it was 
so dark the shooters could not see the targets until they 
got fully 30yds. away. Better scores next time. 
Dr. Van Fossen broke 94, the high score, which was 
fine work. Lieut. G. E. Baily, of the Barracks, shot 
the last time for quite a while, as he leaves for the 
Philippines next Tuesday. He shot on the team and 
broke 88, which was good. The club loses a very active 
member and a mighty good fellow. He has the best 
wishes of all the members, and may he come back and 
break them all. Fisher fudged and Kingsbury couldn’t 
locate. Too bad. Dr. Van won a point on the Secretary- 
Ballistite trophy. The last shoot for it will be Nov. 23.

150 birds in 10 and 15 bird races; entrance $1 and $1.50 
on the money-back plan; all stand at 16yds. Purses 
divided 4'0, 30, 20 and 10. Turkeys on the side. Nobody 
barred. Come and get a turkey. Ties shot off in the 
next event, 15 birds.

Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 14. —The regular shoot of the 
Frontier Rod and Gun Club was well attended, in spite 
of a dark day with snow flurries and a raw northwest 
wind, and some very good scores were made. Points

The Choice of a Gun. 
THE SPURIOUS GUN, AND ITS DETECTION. 
The spurious gun may be either a gun represented 
as being of a quality it is not, or as the production of 
a maker other than the real one. After taking all into 
consideration, it is the first class which is the most 
dangerous to the unwary buyer. The vapid platitudes 
of the salesman spread a glamor over the transaction, 
and the sportsman purchases a gun which will trouble 
him more and more as he gets to know it. Against the 
purchase of this class of gun the sportsman must al¬ 
ways be on his guard. 
The second class of gun is simply a forgery. Belgian 
guns are sent to England to be proved, or the^ English 
proof marks are imitated; “English fine twist” is en¬ 
graved upon the rib, or any maker's name is put on to 
the order of the importer. 
Some makers do not scruple to state in their lists that 
they will put upon their productions “made in London, 
or in Eibar, or in Brescia,” or in any other town whose 
manufactures have a better reputation than their own. 
Never buy a gun without the maker’s name upon it. 
All the leading makers or their retailers now advertise, 
so that the exact name of the maker wished is easily 
obtained; see that the gun bears this name, and rightly 
spelled, for the change of a letter is often made, the 
maker of the forgery thereby thinking that his liability 
is lessened, and foreign forgers make dreadful havoc with 
English names, whereas probably no careful maker has 
evci turned out a gun wrongly or incorrectly named, so 
far as his name goes. As to the more general forgeries, 
they will be found to be changes rung upon the name 
of a maker of reputation. No one would forge “Smith” 
or “Jones,” and happy the gunmakers who possess such 
names; but names as “Greener” will be spelled 
“Greenen,” “Purdey” as “Purdy,” “W. C'. Scott & Son” 
as “J. N. Scotts Son," while of the imitations of “West-
