Dayton club, which challenged for_the cup, left the 
selection of a date to the Newark Gun Club, and was

West Jefferson, managed a very successful turkey shoot

handsomely decorated with Christmas greens and a fine

Shooting Extraordinary. 
Dec. 29.—On Dec. 23 and 24 Capt. A. H. Hardy, of 
Lincoln, Neb., made a most remarkable score with a 
.22 rifle. Shooting at a distance of 25ft. at 2%in. wood 
balls thrown in the air, he hit 5,152 before he missed. 
The shooting was done in Mercantile Hall on the 
Nebraska State Fair grounds, and in the presence of 
three judges who have made affidavits to the correctness 
of the score. Shooting was begun at 1 P. M. on Dec. 
23 and continued until 2,000 shots had been fired, when 
it became too dark to continue with safety, and was 
resumed again at 11 A. M., on Dec. 24. After a few 
shots had been fired, the Captain seemed to shoot with 
the same accuracy and confidence as on the previous day. 
His ambition after passing the 4,000 mark was to make 
it 5,000, and he went along to that mark, shooting very 
accurate and in good time. At this point, the skylight 
in the building was causing a side light, and shooting 
was difficult, so it was decided to continue in the open 
air. After an interval of several minutes, in which the 
apparatus was being moved out, a start was made on the 
next thousand, but the shooter looked worn, his features 
were drawn, and it was evident to judges and spectators 
that his nerves and muscles had relaxed, and that he 
would soon miss. On his 153d shot on this thousand 
the judges stopped him to examine a doubtful ball, and 
not finding a bullet mark, they declared the ball missed, 
and recorded a continuous run of 5,152 shots for Captain 
Hardy. Only one gun was used during the performance, 
which was not cleaned, but was loaded by the shooter 
after the cartridges had been placed in the tubes by an 
attendant. 
Much credit for this performance is due to Bud Bowers, 
who threw every ball, and they were as regular and 
steady as if thrown by machinery. In adition to these, 
he had thrown from 1,000 to 2,000 balls per day for 
several days previous, when Captain was putting him- 
self in condition for this test. CORRESPONDENT.

SIxTy-SEVEN members of this club shot two scores of 
10 shots each on the regular weekly shooting day, Dec. 
22, at 75ft. offhand. George Ludwig was high on the 
ring target with a total of 479 points, but the prize hung 
up for the winner on the bullseye target went to 
William Schaefer, whose shot counted 24% degrees. The
